Chinese leader Xi Jinping visited Wulanchabu, Inner Mongolia, on the 16th to
inspect the Chahar High‑tech Development Zone’s hub for the East Data, West
Computing project and green computing industry development. He called
implementing the project and building a nationwide integrated computing‑power
network a major central priority, and urged stronger scientific planning, factor
support and security guarantees to ensure efficient operation of completed
projects and timely completion of follow‑up projects. Xi instructed officials to
extend the industry chain and deepen integration between the digital economy and
the real economy to convert China’s computing‑power advantage into a development
advantage.
