Original Title: How will China's national computing network become a game change

Nowadays, computing power and computing equipment have become very economic and strategic, and countries have made great investment, and the global computing field has become a fierce competitive field. Although it started late in the field of high -performance computing, China is currently at the forefront of the world. It has risen to calculate the power. It has more than 180 supercomputers and the top 500 in the world accounting for 35%of the most powerful supercomputers, and It is quickly creating the National Super Computing Center network. In terms of quantum computing, China has caught up with the West and now has two fastest quantum computers in the world.

The country's promotion and extensive cooperation to help China have achieved progress beyond the United States and Europe. The increasing domestic research helps China to overcome (Western) export control and import restrictions, and create a more advanced computing system. China has announced the national computing network plan, which aims to solve the problem of regional technology imbalances and form a computing network infrastructure that is connected nationwide. Based on the concept of "East Digital and West Calculation", related projects proposed to establish computing resource clusters in the western region of well -developed technology, and form an integrated data center network in eastern cities with relatively developed technology.

China's national computing network is an ambitious project. First of all, creating a computing cluster in the west helps China to better use green energy. Secondly, related projects focus on laying the foundation for improving China's digital economic infrastructure. Finally, related networks also have military and national security significance.

In the era of network and information warfare, computing power is also a hedging tool. Advanced computing systems are used to simulate the system during the creation war and enhance their understanding of military strategies. Putting the computing facility to a strategic area near the Chinese border helps to analyze key military intelligence in real time. In the modern reform of the army, the Chinese army will gain huge driving force through special computing infrastructure. In China's technical arsenal, computing power is one of the key weapons.
