Exclusive information has been obtained regarding the operational performance of China Telecom's provincial branches for the year 2025. In terms of profitability, only four provincial companies are expected to achieve profits exceeding 5 billion yuan, establishing them as the clear leaders within the group.

These four companies are identified as Guangdong Telecom, Jiangsu Telecom, Shanghai Telecom, and Sichuan Telecom. While the specific ranking is not disclosed here, it will be shared in future reports. This outcome is not surprising, as these branches are already recognized as the top performers in terms of revenue scale for the group.

It is further revealed that Guangdong Telecom and Jiangsu Telecom currently demonstrate the highest profitability levels. Although Shanghai's population is smaller compared to some major provinces, Shanghai Telecom's profitability surpasses that of many more populous provinces, highlighting its superior operational efficiency. Zhejiang Telecom is also a major company in terms of revenue; however, its profit level trails behind that of both Shanghai Telecom and Sichuan Telecom.
