Infrastructure development has strengthened the foundation for development

New infrastructure boosts new upgrades

"Every round of scientific and technological revolution breeds new infrastructure construction, and every round of infrastructure construction leads to new economic transformation and upgrading." Zhang Zhihua, deputy director of the high technology Department of the National Development and Reform Commission, said that in the past 10 years, China's new infrastructure construction has shown the characteristics of accelerated upgrading, integrated development, innovation and optimization, providing strong support for high-quality economic and social development.

According to statistics, in the past 10 years, China's optical fiber length has increased by about 2.7 times, mobile communications from "4G and run" to "5G leadership", to achieve "county and county 5G, village and village broadband", the next generation of Internet technology to accelerate the application, network scale and application level of the world's leading. From the perspective of computing facilities, the construction of the national integrated big data center system was accelerated, and the construction of eight national computing hub nodes was started. In terms of space facilities, a national civil space infrastructure system consisting of satellite remote sensing, satellite communication and broadcasting, and Beidou navigation and positioning systems has been initially established, with continuous and stable service capabilities.

The layout of integrated infrastructure has been further accelerated, and smart facilities are entering thousands of industries. In recent years, the construction of three-dimensional intelligent transportation systems has accelerated, and new forms of transportation such as unmanned docks and autonomous driving have emerged. More than 90% of airports have realized paperless and convenient travel. The intelligent energy dispatching system and intelligent inspection system have greatly improved the efficiency and security of energy supply. The national industrial Internet network, platform, security and identification analysis system has been basically completed; The construction of e-commerce, telemedicine, online education and other facilities for the people's livelihood has accelerated, injecting new impetus and vitality into economic and social development and the improvement of people's livelihood.

At the same time, innovation infrastructure optimization continues to accelerate. On the one hand, China has initially built a relatively complete system of major science and technology infrastructure, the layout of 77 national major science and technology infrastructure has been built and operated 32, some facilities into the world's first square; On the other hand, China has continuously accelerated the construction of innovation capacity, consolidated the dominant position of enterprises in innovation, 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, and constantly improved the system of technology development facilities.

Zhang Zhihua said that the construction of new infrastructure provides continuous support for the exploration of new technologies, promotes the deep integration of information technology and the real economy, helps the digital economy become a powerful engine for economic and social development, and also brings more improvements in people's livelihood. For example, the development of integrated infrastructure such as telemedicine and smart elderly care has accelerated, and the in-depth application of Beidou navigation in transportation, urban management and other fields has effectively improved the facilitation of people's lives. In the future, the effectiveness of the new infrastructure will be further demonstrated.

We will increase infrastructure construction in key areas

The new stage of development puts forward higher requirements for infrastructure construction. How to further improve the quality and level of infrastructure construction is a new topic that all regions and departments need to face.

"If we continue to deepen the market-oriented reform of infrastructure, we must build a modern governance system commensurate with it." Zheng Jian said that in recent years, the National railway enterprises have completed the transformation of the company system, the National oil and Natural gas pipeline network Company was established, the competitive business of electricity was orderly liberalized, and the power grid enterprises are more focused on the main business. By deepening the reform of the economic system, the establishment of a unified, open and orderly competitive market system in the field of infrastructure in China has been accelerated.

Innovation and exploration of investment and financing mechanisms and institutions have provided a strong guarantee for accelerating infrastructure construction. According to reports, in the past 10 years, China's infrastructure planning system has been more perfect, on the basis of adhering to the hierarchical and classified construction, financial investment has been increasing, policy-oriented development financial instruments have played a full role, the cooperation model between the government and social capital has been standardized development, and the reform of asset capitalization, equity securitization has been further promoted. Breakthroughs have been made in the pilot projects of real estate investment trusts (REITs) in the infrastructure sector, with a cumulative raising scale of more than 36 billion yuan.
