Core Insights - Since the "14th Five-Year Plan," China has initiated a new round of digital infrastructure development, establishing a national integrated computing network that connects various regions, positioning its computing power as the second largest globally, thus fostering growth opportunities for the digital economy [1][3]. Group 1: Computing Power Growth - The average annual growth rate of China's computing power has reached 30% since the "14th Five-Year Plan," with over 70% of the new computing power originating from the western regions [3]. - The computing power generated in one second by China's entire intelligent computing system would take 4,000 years for 8 billion people using ordinary calculators to achieve [3]. Group 2: Digital Economy and Infrastructure - The "14th Five-Year Plan" explicitly aims to create new advantages in the digital economy and includes the construction of a digital China as a standalone section in the five-year plan [3]. - The establishment of eight national computing hub nodes, ten national data center clusters, and numerous new optical cable routes has led to the realization of the "East Data West Computing" mega project [3][5]. Group 3: Regional Development and Impact - In Gansu's Qingyang, the "East Data West Computing" hub has seen a significant increase in mobile signal density, with 452 new enterprises established, leading to local digital economy revenues soaring to nearly 10 billion yuan [5]. - More than 30 "computing power new cities" have emerged during the "14th Five-Year Plan," serving as critical support for the AI era, with computing power from Guizhou contributing to animation production in Beijing and from Qinghai aiding in intelligent driving model training in Jiangsu [7]. Group 4: Infrastructure and Global Position - China has built the largest and most extensive network infrastructure globally during the "14th Five-Year Plan," with its computing power ranking among the top worldwide, making it one of the countries with the richest data application scenarios [7].
