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.

NATO Secretary General RUTTE said defence investment in Europe and Canada rose 20% in 2025.
