China's State Council Executive Meeting Plans Computing Network, Power-Computing Coordination

On September 11, 2026, Premier Li Qiang chaired a State Council executive meeting, which made further arrangements for strengthening workplace safety and studied work related to the building of a computing network.

The meeting noted that the computing network is the foundational support for the development of artificial intelligence. It is necessary to adhere to rational layout and orderly, well-regulated development, further improve computing infrastructure, actively advance the research, development and application of key technologies and equipment, and build a multi-tiered networked computing system.

The meeting noted that it is necessary to promote coordination between computing and power and the integration of computing and networks, strengthen the monitoring and scheduling of computing resources and the construction of backbone optical fiber networks, reinforce the planning linkage of computing and power facilities, and accelerate the implementation of projects such as green power direct connection and generation-grid-load-storage.

The meeting made clear that it is necessary to better leverage the role of market mechanisms, support enterprises in carrying out technological innovation, resource integration and application promotion, and promote a better match between supply and demand. Computing infrastructure includes GPUs and computing equipment, as well as coordination with power systems such as power generation, transmission and energy storage.
