htmlOn June 29, at the press conference of the 2022 China Computing Power Conference jointly held by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and Shandong Provincial People's Government, Zhang Yunming, a member of the Party Leadership Group and Vice Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said, digital economy is the main economic form after the agricultural economy and industrial economy. It is a key force in reorganizing global factor resources, reshaping the global economic structure, and changing the global competition pattern. First, the industry scale continues to grow rapidly, and has been ranked second in the world for several years. Statistical calculations show that from 2012 to 2021, the scale of my country's digital economy has grown from 11 trillion to over 45 trillion, and the digital economy's proportion of GDP has increased from 21.6% to 39.8%.
Second, the construction of new infrastructure is accelerated and digital industrialization is further promoted. At present, our country has built the world's largest and most technologically advanced network infrastructure. All prefecture-level cities have become optical network cities. The number of gigabit users has exceeded 50 million. The number of 5G base stations has reached 1.7 million. The number of 5G mobile phone users has exceeded 1.7 million. 420 million households; in 2021, the added value of the national electronic information manufacturing industry above designated size increased by 15.7% over the previous year, and the growth rate hit a record high in the past ten years; in 2021, the business income of software and information technology service industries, Internet and related service companies maintained a 17.7% growth rate. % and high growth rates of 16.9%, reaching 9,499.4 billion yuan and 1,550 billion yuan respectively.
The third is the emergence of transformation applications in thousands of industries, releasing the momentum of industrial digitalization. Big data, cloud computing , artificial intelligence are accelerating their integration into industry, energy, medical care, transportation, education, agriculture and other industries. Industrial Internet applications have covered 45 major categories of the national economy, and the high-quality industrial Internet external network covers more than 300 cities across the country. In 2021, my country's online retail sales of physical goods exceeded 10 trillion yuan for the first time, a year-on-year increase of 12.0%; there were 151.228 billion mobile payment transactions, a year-on-year increase of 22.73%.
Zhang Yunming said that with the full opening of the digital economy era, computing power serves as an important "base" support and its enabling role has become increasingly prominent. Computing power is a new productivity in the era of digital economy. It will inject new momentum into strengthening the construction of digital government, activating the potential of data elements and digital transformation of all walks of life, and boosting the high-quality development of the economy and society.
Zhang Yunming said that the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is focusing on building a new information infrastructure system based on the new generation of information and communication networks, with data and computing power facilities as the core, and focusing on integrated infrastructure, accelerating the formulation of computing power planning, and strengthening computing power. Focus on core technology research, promote the connection between supply and demand of computing power resources, cultivate new computing power industries, new business formats and new models, and achieve positive results, mainly reflected in:
First, the computing power development plan has been successively introduced, and the top-level design has been gradually improved. The "14th Five-Year Plan" outline clearly points out that it is necessary to accelerate the construction of a national integrated big data center system, strengthen intelligent dispatching of computing power, build a number of national hub nodes and big data center clusters, and build E-level and 10E-level super computing centers to provide the future The development of my country's computing power industry in the past five years has pointed out the direction. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, in conjunction with the National Development and Reform Commission and other departments, issued the "National Integrated Big Data Center Collaborative Innovation System Computing Power Hub Implementation Plan", and approved the construction of national computing power hubs in eight regions including Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and the Yangtze River Delta. Node, start the implementation of the " east number and west number " project. The " "14th Five-Year Plan" Information and Communication Industry Development Plan ", "Three-Year Action Plan for the Development of New Data Centers (2021-2023)", "Double Gigabit" Network Collaborative Development Action Plan (2021-2023)" and " "Industrial Internet Innovation and Development Action Plan (2021-2023)" and a series of policy documents, deploy and build a multi-level computing power facility system for data network collaboration, data cloud collaboration, cloud edge collaboration, and green intelligence.
Second, the construction of computing power facilities is advanced in an orderly manner, and the development foundation is continuously consolidated. On the basis of accelerating the construction of gigabit optical networks and 5G, we will coordinate the layout of green and intelligent data and computing facilities, promote the construction of integrated big data center systems and industrial Internet big data center systems, and consolidate the foundation for the development of the digital economy. As of the end of 2021, the total number of data center racks in use in my country exceeds 5.2 million standard racks, and the average rack availability rate exceeds 55%.There are 19 million data center servers in use, with a storage capacity of 800EB (1EB=1024PB). The total computing power of exceeds 140 EFlops (floating point operations per second). The average annual growth rate of in the past five years has exceeded 30%. The computing power of ranks second in the world. In March 2022, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology officially The list of the first batch of national new data center typical cases was announced. A total of 32 large or above data centers and 12 edge data centers were selected, setting a benchmark for accelerating the construction and application of new data centers and better supporting the digital transformation of various economic and social fields.
Third, the computing power industry chain continues to improve, and the computing power empowerment effect is highlighted. The vigorous development of the computing power industry is inseparable from a strong and complete industrial chain. At present, my country's computing power industry chain has been initially formed, covering the upstream industry consisting of facilities, equipment, software suppliers, and network operators, and the midstream industry consisting of basic telecommunications companies, third-party data center service providers, and cloud computing manufacturers. , a downstream industry composed of Internet companies, industrial companies, and users from various industries such as government, finance, and electric power.
Zhang Yunming said that in order to further consolidate the "computing power base" for the development of the digital economy, accelerate the digital transformation of all walks of life, accelerate the construction of the digital economy, empower the manufacturing industry, promote the development of the real economy, and help high-quality economic and social development, industry The Ministry of Information Technology and the Shandong Provincial People's Government will jointly host the first China Computing Power Conference with the theme of "Computing Power to Lead the Future" in Jinan, Shandong from July 29 to 31, 2022. The conference will highlight the three major concepts of innovation, integration, and green, focus on the cutting-edge technology field of computing power, showcase the results of computing power integration and application, and drive the accelerated development of the computing power industry.
