"Counting from the east to the west" to steadily promote the new infrastructure enabled digital economy

　　Since the official and comprehensive launch of the project of "counting from the east to the west" this year, data center projects have accelerated from drawings to reality. At the same time, a number of 5g, industrial Internet and other new infrastructure projects have made solid progress, opening up new space and adding new momentum to the development of the digital economy.

　　Recently, a large number of data center projects in Sichuan, Guangdong, Guizhou and other places have started construction or put into operation, accelerating the establishment of a national "one network" of computing power.

　　In the first four months of this year, among the 10 national data center clusters in China, 25 new projects were started, and the number of racks of the national hub node data center exceeded 540000 standard racks, driving the investment in all aspects to exceed 190billion yuan. More than 190000 5g base stations have been built, 1653000 gigabit network ports have been added, and the total number has reached 9.54 million... Looking at the whole country, a batch of new infrastructure projects have been accelerated.

The role of supporting epidemic prevention and control, resuming work and production, and maintaining the stability of the supply chain of the industrial chain has become more prominent." Meng Wei, spokesman of the national development and Reform Commission, said.

Recently, a series of measures from the central government to the local government have stepped up efforts to build new infrastructure, providing support for stabilizing the economic market and adjusting the structure to increase the staying power. Appropriately deploy 5g, industrial Internet and other new information infrastructure in advance to promote the construction of digital infrastructure and application scenarios; Accelerate the deep integration of 5g, artificial intelligence, big data and the real economy, and build a number of important integration infrastructure and computing infrastructure; We will increase support in planning, network and energy use, support the construction of the project of "counting data from the East and calculating data from the west", and promote the construction of hub nodes to come into effect as soon as possible... The Ministry of industry and information technology, the national development and Reform Commission and other departments have successively released favorable policy signals.

　　The State Council recently issued a package of 33 measures to stabilize the economy, clearly proposing to expand the scope of application of local special bonds and include new infrastructure for the first time. Promote banking financial institutions, REITs (real estate investment trusts) and other major new infrastructure construction projects, give play to the role of venture capital guidance fund for emerging industries, and facilitate the financing of small and medium-sized enterprises in related fields... Various measures will further expand the source of funds and stimulate the enthusiasm of social capital to invest in new infrastructure.
