What opportunities and challenges will the promotion of new infrastructure bring to existing industries and production and research directions?

Traditional infrastructure mainly includes railways, highways, airports and bridges. In this field, China is relatively perfect, but there are still some shortcomings.

New infrastructure is generally considered to include 5G, UHV, intercity high-speed rail and intercity rail transit, new energy vehicle charging piles, big data centers, artificial intelligence, industrial Internet, Internet of Things and other fields. In these areas, China has huge room for development.

Different from traditional infrastructure, "new infrastructure" pays more attention to hard-core technologies such as digitalization and intelligence.

It is not difficult to find that promoting "new infrastructure" is the clear direction since 20 19. At the beginning of this year, under the influence of COVID-19 epidemic and other factors, "new infrastructure" was put in a more important position, and it became inevitable to speed up the promotion.

As an important basic industry and emerging industry, the "new infrastructure" is the new engine of China's economic growth, with huge investment and demand at one end and a powerful and escalating consumer market at the other. As far as the construction of 5G network is concerned, by cultivating prosperous new technology industries such as Internet economy, artificial intelligence and digital economy, it will indirectly drive the economic aggregate of trillions of yuan, laying a solid foundation for seizing the commanding heights of the new generation of information technology in the world.
