China Pledges to Speed Up Digital Infrastructure Build.

China's new National Data Bureau, led by Liu Liehong, has pledged to accelerate the construction of the country's integrated computing power network in order to expand its digital infrastructure. Liu stated that the regulator will promote the use of emerging network technologies with low delay, large bandwidth, and high reliability in the "East Data West Computing" project. The plan involves building large data centers in western provinces to store data generated by internet companies in the east. Chinese officials view computing power as a crucial infrastructure, similar to waterways and electricity grids, especially in light of technological disputes with the US. [Extracted from the article]
