Guangdong’s draft 15th Five-Year plan for the information and communications
sector, released for public comment, proposes measures to expand regional and
industry compute infrastructure. The plan backs Shaoguan’s bid to host a
compute-network hub interconnection center and calls for upgrading and
innovating the MIIT Guangzhou Internet Exchange Center and the National
(Shenzhen·Qianhai) New-type Internet Exchange Center. It urges acceleration of a
Shenzhen–Guangzhou–Shaoguan data corridor to establish a compute-network base
serving the Guangdong–Hong Kong–Macao Greater Bay Area, and to integrate into
the national "1+M+N" compute interconnectivity system by creating national
regional nodes and multiple sector-specific nodes. The draft directs continued
city-level "millisecond compute" initiatives to develop benchmark
compute-network cities, and promotes efficient coordination of data/compute,
green power, grid and storage—encouraging coordinated construction of compute
centers with new-energy sites and grid upgrades and strengthening compute
interconnectivity, operational coordination and intelligent dispatch.
