China's push on the Internet of Things is on display at the World's Internet of Things Expo. Connected cars and smart healthcare are trending now.

"These are now basics. In-car wifi, car detection, GPS and inter-car connectivity. We have over 10 million users of our in-car connectivity services." said He Fei, manager of China Unicom.

"We can control the vibe at home, on temperature, humidity, noise, toxic particles, gas and chemicals. We gather all the data through this little box and share the data with our mobile phones. By doing this, we connect our phones with all the home appliances." said Xiang Ligang,chairman of 720 Health.

China is the world's largest market for the internet of things. Its own production in the area reached 750 billion yuan in 2015, up 25 percent from a year ago.
