China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) issued its 15th
Five‑Year plan for the information and communications industry, directing
construction of compute‑power transmission channels and deployment of 400G and
above high‑speed transmission technologies, fiber‑direct links, and the
downstream rollout of 100G optical network equipment. The plan mandates improved
compute‑internet identification infrastructure and accelerated coordination
between computing and power. It requires end‑to‑end integration of compute,
storage, network, power and carbon, with routine automated monitoring of metrics
such as energy efficiency and green‑power utilization and full‑chain
traceability for green electricity and green compute. MIIT will refine a
green‑compute evaluation framework, study issuance of green‑compute
certificates, cultivate a compute‑services market via industry exchange
platforms and renewal initiatives, and organize compute firms for international
exchanges to promote multilateral cooperation and project implementation.
