In early September, the Bank of China unveiled its strategic intent to forge alliances with key players in the computing power ecosystem throughout the '15th Five-Year Plan' era. The goal is to co-create an industrial-financial ecosystem centered around 'computing power +', backed by a substantial financial commitment of at least RMB 300 billion. This investment will fuel 100 pivotal smart computing center initiatives. Prior to this, the National Development and Reform Commission had projected, based on expert analysis, that the computing power network's development during the same period will necessitate an extra direct investment of RMB 4 trillion.

Presently, there's a scarcity of high-end smart computing capabilities, with certain operators leveraging unique positioning and technological prowess to achieve a sustainable growth cycle. Conversely, a substantial portion of lower-tier computing resources languishes unused, revealing stark contrasts in chip technology, operator capabilities, and geographical distribution. Crucially, this new phase of computing network expansion diverges from the past's hardware-centric, scale-driven approach. Instead, it introduces a comprehensive risk management ecosystem.

By adopting a strategy that combines 'project approval contingent on demand + third-party professional management', it curbs the emergence of redundant resources right from the project inception phase. Simultaneously, it breathes new life into existing assets through market-oriented operational strategies, guaranteeing the judicious allocation of the trillion-yuan funds earmarked for computing infrastructure.
