Recently, a meeting of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee underscored the imperative to bolster the planning and development of six critical networks: water networks, modernized power grids, computing power networks, next-generation communication networks, urban underground pipeline networks, and logistics networks. In the swiftly evolving landscape of artificial intelligence, computing power has emerged as the cornerstone of intelligence in the digital economy era. The concurrent deployment of the computing power network alongside the other five networks exemplifies a visionary approach to future industrial competition.

Experts highlight that the computing power network, when integrated with the other five networks, constitutes a comprehensive infrastructure network and a synergistic system. This integration holds strategic significance that transcends the mere computing power infrastructure itself. By incorporating computing power infrastructure into the broader 'network' construction framework, computing power will transition from isolated clusters to a nationwide unified network. This transformation will facilitate on-demand resource allocation and efficient sharing, thereby optimizing the utilization of computing resources.

As of the end of March 2026, China's intelligent computing power capacity had surged to 1,882 EFLOPS (exaFLOPS), marking a substantial increase in computing power resources. This expansion not only enriches the computing power landscape but also fuels robust industrial innovation, propelling the nation towards a more technologically advanced and competitive future.
