We will expand investment in new infrastructure to create key new drivers for economic and social development

New infrastructure is an important part of the modern infrastructure system, is to promote the whole society's digital transformation, intelligent upgrading, integration and innovation of the basic, public facilities, is an important support for the implementation of innovation-driven development strategy, promote high-quality economic and social development, for optimizing the investment structure, high-quality supply to create new demand has important practical significance. In recent years, all departments and localities in China have been working hard to deploy new infrastructure construction work, which has achieved remarkable results, effectively stimulating market demand, promoting scientific and technological progress, and improving public services, and has formed a key new driving force for economic and social development.

First, new infrastructure is an important support for seizing the future scientific and technological frontier track and creating new advantages in international competition

New infrastructure leads the development of modern science and technology

Digital technology has changed existing resource endowments and comparative advantages, and new infrastructure is a necessary supporting condition for the development of modern science and technology. From 2G to 5G, the resistance to information transmission is continuously reduced, the bandwidth of mobile phone communication is increased from 0.1MB/s to the highest 10G/s, and the delay is reduced from 500ms to 1ms, which not only speeds up the network speed, but also realizes high-speed, stable and reliable connections between people, people and things, and things, so as to realize the rapid flow of various production factors. Modern information technologies such as artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and the Internet of Things have developed rapidly on the basis of new infrastructure. For example, more and more cities are aggregating road data collected through new infrastructure to form a high-quality data resource supply for emerging businesses such as intelligent transportation and autonomous driving. At the same time, with the support of major scientific and technological infrastructure in cutting-edge fields such as biotechnology, materials science and technology, and aerospace science and technology, research and development work and innovation capabilities have also been greatly improved, and leapfrog scientific and technological progress has been achieved.

New infrastructure is reshaping international competition

The level of infrastructure construction has always been an important factor in national power competition. The level of new infrastructure construction directly affects a country's scientific and technological growth potential, industrial development level and people's quality of life. At the same time, new infrastructure also needs to rely on the market scale effect of large countries in order to fully play its important role. At present, major economies have accelerated the development of relevant strategies and plans, such as the United States' Innovation and Competition Act, the European Union's 2030 Digital Compass, and Japan's Comprehensive Innovation Strategy 2022, continue to focus on the construction and popularization of 5G, optical fiber, and industrial Internet, and accelerate the popularization and quality of digital infrastructure. New infrastructure has become one of the main battlefields of competition between countries in the future, and will play an important role in the competition pattern of great powers.

China's new infrastructure construction has got off to a good start

In the past decade, China has built optical fiber length increased by about 2.7 times, mobile communication from "4G and run" to "5G lead", artificial intelligence infrastructure accelerated layout, data center scale reached 5.9 million standard racks, the national integration of big data center system accelerated construction, network scale and application level of the world's leading. Second, the integration of infrastructure to accelerate the layout, unmanned terminals, autonomous driving and other new forms of transportation continue to emerge, more than 90% of airports to achieve "paperless" convenient travel; The smart energy dispatching system has greatly improved the efficiency and security of energy supply. The accelerated construction of smart city infrastructure has injected new impetus and vitality into social governance and the improvement of people's livelihood. Third, the improvement of innovation infrastructure has been accelerated. China has built and operated 32 national major science and technology infrastructure facilities, and built more than 200 national engineering research centers, more than 1,600 state-level enterprise technology centers and a number of national industrial innovation centers in key areas, forming a relatively complete system of major science and technology infrastructure.

Second, there is a significant demand for new infrastructure, which is the core support for stabilizing the economy and promoting growth
