Overseas Services: Renewed Upgrades for a Shared Dream of the Digital Silk Road Journey

As China deepens its integration into the global economy,the high-quality international expansion of Chinese enterprises has emerged as a new focus of globalization,particularly along the Belt and Road Initiative,which has sparked a wave of cooperation between China and other countries.

To better serve overseas mobile users and meet diverse communication needs,China Telecom has upgraded its overseas mobile business.
