China’s National Development and Reform Commission detailed progress on the 'Six Networks'—water, electricity, computing, communications, urban underground pipelines and logistics—and announced heightened multi-network coordination to boost effective investment and expand domestic demand. In 2026, over RMB7 trillion will be invested in these networks and key areas. During the 15th Five-Year Plan period, investment in new-type power grids and underground pipelines is projected at around RMB5 trillion each, and computing network direct investment will add RMB4 trillion. In the first half, private capital into water network construction exceeded RMB10.8 billion, up 85.8% year-on-year.
