The National Copyright Administration has issued the "15th Five-Year Plan for Copyright Work," outlining key targets through 2030. The plan sets a national work registration target of 9.5 million pieces by 2030, up from 7.49 million in 2025, while computer software copyright registrations are projected to grow to 4 million from 3.18 million. Copyright pledge financing registrations are expected to reach 12 billion yuan by 2030, compared to 8.4 billion yuan in 2025, with the copyright industry's contribution to GDP targeted to rise from 7.46% to 7.53% over the same period.

The core copyright industry's GDP share is slated to increase from 4.72% to 4.79%. These regulatory developments have implications for Hong Kong-listed stocks including Vobile Group Ltd (03738) and China Literature Ltd (00772), as the copyright landscape evolves.

The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has released its "15th Five-Year Plan for the Information and Communication Industry," announcing plans to launch 6G commercial services at an appropriate time, with a goal of fully building a new-generation communication network with leading performance by 2030. The plan calls for advancing urban and hotspot area networks toward "dual 10-gigabit" evolution, deepening 5G coverage in key scenarios, and extending 5G-Advanced network continuous coverage across county-level urban areas, expanding toward key townships to achieve 10-gigabit downlink and gigabit uplink peak rates in urban hotspots.

The ministry also emphasizes expanding 10-gigabit optical network pilot construction, implementing the "signal upgrade" special action to enhance end-to-end service perception, and promoting wide-area coverage of mobile IoT. Efforts will focus on advancing IPv6 technology innovation and integrated applications. These initiatives are relevant to Hong Kong-listed telecommunications equipment companies including ZTE Corp (00763).

The plan also promotes the construction of computing power transmission channels, deploying 400G and above high-speed transmission technologies, building direct fiber links, and pushing 100G optical network equipment further down the network. This benefits Hong Kong-listed optical communications stocks such as Cambridge Industries Group (06166), Zhongji Innolight (03308), and Yangtze Optical Fibre and Cable (06869).

Additionally, the government will improve computing power internet identifier systems, accelerate the coordinated development of computing and electricity, and promote the full-process integration of "computing, storage, network, electricity, and carbon" resources. Regular automated monitoring of energy efficiency, computing efficiency, and green electricity utilization rates will be established to achieve full-chain traceability of green electricity and green computing power. The plan includes developing a "green computing power" evaluation system, researching and issuing green computing power certificates, cultivating computing power application markets, and organizing international exchange activities for computing power enterprises. Yue Gang Wan Smart Computing (01396) is among the Hong Kong-listed companies involved in the six-network integration initiative.
