Yves Mouillet, a CGTN French host, has lived in China for more than seven years. The unceasing advancement in technology facilitating a smart and connected lifestyle impressed him most during his stay in China.

With the penetration of mobile internet, cloud computing and other advanced technologies, people's daily lives are getting richer and more convenient. Since China is leading in mobile app innovation, apps for pretty much anything people could desire are on the market, whether free or paid.

"In my opinion, the mobile apps for car-hailing services, shared cars or bikes, and other incredible apps providing on-call haircuts and laundry services, have changed people's lives," said Yves.

Shopping online via apps is another daily activity that Yves enjoys very much. With a simple click on the smartphone, he can buy almost all daily necessities at a lower price. "It's magic to do online shopping at home, without queuing at the cashier or having a traffic jam on the way."

Apart from daily necessities, the growth in the mobile app ecosystem also brings Yves various options for entertainment. Singing at the mini KTV booths sprouting up in China's shopping malls has become one of Yves' favorite after-work activities. He can pick songs to sing on specific mobile apps. Yves also found himself a karate coach through a sports app.

China's mobile app ecosystem has provided an environment-friendly and time-saving way of life for Yves. "Different types of apps make my life easier in China."
