2016 was the year when the United States released the world ’s first artificial intelligence strategic plan, Google, Microsoft and other technology giants stepped up to devour the global cloud computing market, and it was also the beginning of China ’s “13th Five-Year Plan”. This year, the State Council issued documents three times to promote "Internet + government affairs" and the construction of national informatization, and the goals of digital government and digital China were written into the "13th Five-Year Plan."
On March 4, 2020, the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee held a meeting, which pointed out that it is necessary to speed up the construction of new infrastructure such as 5G networks and data centers.
The biggest difference between the new infrastructure and the traditional infrastructure (commonly known as "Tie Gongji": mainly infrastructure such as railways, highways, and rail transportation and public facilities) lies in new concepts, new technologies, and new fields.
The new infrastructure can be divided into seven major areas: 5G infrastructure, artificial intelligence, industrial Internet, big data center, UHV, new energy charging, and intercity high-speed and rail transportation.
The seven major segments of the new infrastructure and their applications
1.5G construction
Industrial Internet, Internet of Vehicles, Internet of Things, Enterprise Cloud, Artificial Intelligence, Telemedicine, etc.
2. UHV
Electricity and other energy industries
3. Intercity high-speed railway and intercity rail transit
Transportation Industry
4. New energy vehicle charging pile
new energy vehicles
5. Big data center
All aspects of finance, security, energy and personal life (including travel, shopping, sports, financial management, etc.)
6. Artificial Intelligence
Smart homes, service robots, mobile devices / UAV autonomous driving, other industry applications: home, financial security, medical, corporate services, education, customer service, video / entertainment, retail / e-commerce, construction, law, news, recruitment, etc.
7. Industrial Internet
Intelligent production within the enterprise, network collaboration between enterprises, personalized customization of enterprises and users, service extension of enterprises and products
The four levels of the new infrastructure
From four levels, we can grasp the scope of the new infrastructure:
▼ The four levels of the new infrastructure
1. The core is to provide infrastructure for the six pillars of the digital and information economy (ie 5G, big data, artificial intelligence, cloud computing, Internet of Things, and blockchain), such as 5G base stations and IDC data centers.
2. The second level is the electronic and intelligent transformation of the traditional infrastructure of existing cities, such as smart city, smart transportation and other projects.
3. The third level is to develop supporting facilities for new energy and new materials in cities, such as charging piles, photovoltaics, and waste-to-energy power generation that support the new energy industry;
4. The fourth level is also the outermost layer. In fact, it can not be called a new infrastructure. It is more a supplementary infrastructure, such as the development of science and technology parks, the intercity high-speed rail and light rail that connect the inner city clusters.
It can be seen that the new infrastructure and the traditional infrastructure overlap on the fourth floor and even the third floor. They are complementary rather than mutually exclusive.
The value and significance of the new infrastructure
The current proposal to accelerate the development of new infrastructure will not only reduce the impact of the epidemic on the economy, promote the rapid development of the new generation of information technology industry, but also provide new momentum for the high-quality development of the real economy, and lay a solid foundation for enhancing social governance and public service levels.
With a high-speed ubiquitous network, it will accelerate the application of many hardware and software; with the support of algorithms and computing power, it will spawn a large number of new scenarios; with a solid digital foundation, factory upgrades, urban transformation, etc. have favorable conditions ... This is from a "road" to an ecological cultivation.
Contactless take-out facilitates people's lives; smart factories accelerate the efficiency of resuming production and production; cloud retailing resolves the brand's "worries" to a certain extent ... In the prevention and control of epidemics, many people feel the changes brought about by the new infrastructure.
According to the "5G Industry Economic Contribution" released by the China Information and Communications Academy, it is estimated that from 2020 to 2025, China's total economic output indirectly driven by 5G commercials will be about 24.8 trillion yuan.
"New AI chips, convenient and efficient cloud services, various application development platforms, open deep learning frameworks, etc., are advancing the intelligent transformation of thousands of industries. Especially in areas such as intelligent transportation, the new infrastructure will show greater impetus. . "
But compared to stimulating investment, the new infrastructure is more driven by improving efficiency to promote economic development. This is more in line with the essence of high-quality development. Realize efficient collaboration across the entire industry chain through digitalization; rely on offline stores, "cloud services" and other models to achieve full-scale "cloud business" ... New infrastructure construction is driving efficiency improvements in more areas.
Need to consolidate the digital foundation
The new infrastructure includes a digital foundation and a computing foundation. With the advent of the 5G era, the amount of data will be greater, and higher requirements will be placed on computing power.
With the substantial increase in data and computing power, data centers will enter a stage of rapid growth. Some analysts predict that China's new data center market capacity will account for about 50% of the new global increase in 2020.
"At present, the data center network traffic is increasing greatly, and there are also some problems such as the loss of computing resources." Industry experts believe that data center construction should focus on energy saving, emission reduction and operating cost reduction, and explore more flexible and efficient methods to apply. Design, build and run.
To consolidate the digital foundation, safety is very important. The construction of new infrastructure should pay special attention to data security, computing security, and industrial chain security. It is necessary to strengthen the integrity and competitiveness of the industrial chain in the areas of key links, new materials, operating systems, and strengthen cooperation in the protection of key information infrastructure and data security, and insist on equal emphasis on security and development.
In the era of industrial economy, a large number of economic activities were built on infrastructure construction represented by railways, highways, and airports. In the era of the digital economy, network equipment such as optical cables and mobile communications has become a necessary and universal infrastructure. At present, 5G is becoming the key to digital transformation in various fields, and its role in supporting the economy and society and leading innovation is increasingly prominent. Accelerating new infrastructure including 5G, data centers, industrial Internet, etc. is of great significance to stable investment, stable growth, and high-quality economic development.
The new infrastructure is not just a network foundation, but also a digital foundation and a computing foundation. Accelerating computing power support is very important.
The downward pressure on the economy continues to increase. The new infrastructure helps stabilize investment, growth, and consumption. It is an important way to resolve the adverse effects of the epidemic situation and achieve stable and orderly economic development. . However, to seize and make good use of this opportunity, we need to proceed from reality, find the focus, and advance in an orderly manner.
To seize opportunities, we must first identify opportunities. It is not simply to build a network, it can lead to a leap in development. The so-called "opportunities" for the new infrastructure are not based on the infrastructure itself, but from digital and intelligent upgrades and the superposition of economic and social transformation needs. It is a combination of time and momentum.
Traditional manufacturing costs are high, and companies need to use new production models; downward pressure is large, and consumption needs to seek new space; urban governance has many challenges, and public services need to be more efficient ... These all require information to "break the question."
China's network foundation has been steadily strengthened, and hardware equipment, computing power, and industry chain integrity flexibility have been significantly improved. Many technologies have entered a critical stage that can be applied on a large scale ... These also create conditions for innovation.
At this time, accelerating the promotion of new infrastructure is to strengthen innovation and increase the fire by building a "hardware foundation", accelerate the application of new technologies, the incubation of new models, and the emergence of new formats.
"Migrate" to the cloud to achieve retail transformation; digital "empowerment" to improve manufacturing efficiency; fine feeding to ensure the quality of agriculture and animal husbandry; smart management to solve the "big city disease" ...... The opportunities brought by the new infrastructure are not simply directed to individual Enterprises, certain industries, but endogenous power and new momentum that are widely oriented to economic development.
The development opportunities always come from exploring and grasping the demand. To seize the "opportunities" of the new infrastructure, we must proceed from reality and adapt ourselves to local conditions.
Not every city has the conditions to have a big data center for infrastructure construction, nor is the industrial Internet "fire", so it is necessary to keep up with it.
All localities should base on local endowments and industrial distribution, consider market demand and local development actualities to make overall plans; also establish new mechanisms, clarify new subjects, conduct careful planning and scientific evaluation; and more progressively according to financial resources and debt bearing conditions, avoid one. Crowd up and form new surpluses or hidden risks.
Respect the laws of the market and the laws of the economy, proceed from reality and improve the system and services. It is expected that the effectiveness of the new infrastructure will be better released and promote the high-quality economic and social development to a greater extent.
The relationship between new infrastructure, traditional infrastructure and digital infrastructure
The new infrastructure involves and functions as a three-layer radiation structure.
1. Core layer: digital infrastructure
Digital infrastructure is the core of the new infrastructure, including 5G, big data, artificial intelligence and other digital infrastructure.
2. The epitaxial layer: a new infrastructure centered on digitalization
The epitaxial layer is a brand-new supporting facility based on digital infrastructure, including supporting facilities for new energy, new materials and their application areas, unmanned supporting facilities, etc., and corresponding park projects in these areas.
3. Radiation layer: digitally transformed traditional infrastructure and its new subdivisions
The radiation layer is a traditional infrastructure facility that has been digitized and intelligently transformed, or a new subdivision area that is created to make up for the shortcomings of some traditional infrastructure, such as smart cities and rail transportation.
Three levels of new infrastructure
4. Relationship: Digital Infrastructure-The Pillar of New Infrastructure
From these three levels, the new infrastructure is supported by digital infrastructure, including traditional infrastructure that has been digitally transformed, and the digital infrastructure and traditional infrastructure may overlap in the epitaxial layer and radiation layer of the new infrastructure, thus forming a complementary and complementary The role of promotion.

Significance of launching new infrastructure
First, in the short term, new infrastructure investment will directly serve as an economic booster, clarify development expectations for stable growth and employment, and release potential economic vitality. The upstream and downstream of the relevant industrial chain will be directly stimulated by demand to hedge the downward pressure on the economy;
Secondly, in the long run, China's prospects for the future global digital economy and the prospective deployment of new infrastructure construction will hopefully improve the structure of economic development in the long run and nurture new economic development momentum;
Third, promote the research and application of new materials, new devices, new processes and new technologies to provide the necessary support for the development of new technologies, the formation of new industries, new models and new formats, and large-scale commercialization;
Fourth, to promote municipal, transportation, safety, environment, information and other departments to carry out integrated management based on digital platforms for new infrastructure, will bring changes to the management model of government public infrastructure.
Qiu Huijun, Deputy Chief Engineer of the Center: Several thoughts on accelerating the development of data "new infrastructure"
The new infrastructure includes two dimensions: technical facilities and data resources, which constitute two indispensable elements of data infrastructure. In recent years, the European Union and the United States have successively issued strategies to accelerate the construction of digital infrastructure and seize the commanding heights of the global digital economy. China has issued the "Outline of Action to Promote the Development of Big Data" since 2015. In recent years, the industry has not deepened its application, and it has a good foundation. However, there are still data islands, the development and utilization of industry data resources are uneven, and core technologies need to be broken. In the next step, China should focus on applying new development concepts, breaking through core key technologies, improving data governance systems, developing high-quality data sets, promoting industrial Internet construction, building a benign industrial ecology, and injecting new vitality into high-quality economic development.
