“New infrastructure” is frequently mentioned as a hot word for recent economic policies. The State Council executive meeting on April 28 made the latest deployment to “one industry leads to hundreds of industries”, which will not only help the industry upgrade, cultivate new kinetic energy, but also promote entrepreneurship and employment, and benefit the current long-term benefits.

Recently, the National Development and Reform Commission made it clear that preliminary research believes that new infrastructure is guided by new development concepts, driven by technological innovation, based on information networks, and oriented towards Quality development requires an infrastructure system that provides services such as digital transformation, intelligent upgrades, and integrated innovation.

Information infrastructure is an important part of the “new infrastructure”, mainly refers to the communication network infrastructure represented by 5G, Internet of Things, Industrial Internet, Satellite Internet, New technology infrastructure represented by artificial intelligence, cloud computing, blockchain, etc., computing power infrastructure represented by data centers, intelligent computing centers, etc.

Who will participate in the construction of “new infrastructure”? What application scenarios will the “new infrastructure” have? The National Standing Committee has made arrangements for these issues:

First, we must promote the construction of new infrastructure such as information networks in accordance with development needs and industrial potential. Innovate the investment and construction model, insist on focusing on market investment, support multiple entities to participate in the construction, and encourage financial institutions to innovate and strengthen services. Strengthen government guidance and support to provide more convenience for investment and construction.

The second is to focus on domestic demand, be application-oriented, tap the huge potential of the Chinese market, and actively expand new infrastructure application scenarios. Aim at industrial upgrading and intelligent manufacturing development, and guide all parties to work together to build an industrial Internet. Adapt to the new digital consumption needs of the masses, and promote applications such as online office, remote education, telemedicine, connected vehicles, and smart cities

The National Standing Committee specifically proposed to promote two-way openness and cooperation in communications and related industries, eliminate industry application barriers, create a good environment for platform economic development and industry integration, and build platforms And its participants promote a mutually beneficial ecology.

5G is the basic industry of “new infrastructure”. According to the prediction of China Information and Communication Research Institute, China’s investment in 5G network construction will reach 1.2 trillion yuan by 2025. In addition, the construction of 5G networks will also drive investment in the upstream and downstream of the industry chain and in various industries. It is expected that cumulative investment of more than 3.5 trillion yuan will be driven by 2025.
