Beijing
\nChina\u2019s National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), among other government organs, recently approved kicking off the construction of eight national computing hubs and plans to build 10 national-data center clusters. The eight national computing hubs will be built in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, the Yangtze River Delta, the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, the Chengdu-Chongqing economic circle, North China\u2019s Inner Mongolia autonomous region, Southwest China\u2019s Guizhou province, Northwest China\u2019s Gansu province and Ningxia Hui autonomous region.
\nThe move signals that the country has officially started to implement its east-to-west computing resource transfer project for better development of digital economy.
\nThe mega project aims to, by forming a new type of computing power network, send data gathered from the more prosperous eastern regions of China to the less developed but resource-rich western regions for storage, calculation, and feedback, and establish national computing hubs in western China, which can help the country improve its imbalance in the layout of digital infrastructure and maximize the value of the production factor of data, pointed out an industry insider.
\nChina will make efforts to accelerate the implementation of its east-to-west computing resource transfer project during the country\u2019s 14th Five-Year Plan period (2021-2025), when the country\u2019s digital economy will enter a new development stage featuring further application, standardized development, and inclusive sharing, said a plan for facilitating the development of digital economy during the 14th Five-Year Plan period rolled out by China\u2019s State Council not long ago.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
