June 18 - Li Chao, deputy director of the Policy Research Office and spokesman
for the China State Planner, said China has made progress on compute-power/power
coordination and compute-network integration but still faces bottlenecks in
planning, pricing and monitoring/dispatch technology. Over the 15th Five‑Year
Plan period, the planner will prioritise supply–demand matching and tighten
joint planning and construction of computing-power networks, new power grids and
next‑generation communications. In ‘hard’ investment, it will pilot
compute–electricity coordination models to prioritise power for compute and use
compute to support power, advance compute–network integration and modestly
expand direct trunk links between national hubs to cut transmission latency. In
‘soft’ measures, it will strengthen compute resource monitoring and market-based
dispatch and accelerate construction of a nationwide, networked, accessible,
green and secure integrated computing-power network.
