China has released a new plan to enhance its industrial digital infrastructure and AI capabilities, building on previous policies.
The plan, jointly issued on Tuesday by eight Chinese government agencies led by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, included targets for expanding industrial digital infrastructure and data supply, promoting the adoption of AI across factories, and developing world-leading industrial internet platforms.
It called for the buildout of 50,000 industrial 5G private networks by 2030 and the development of a well-established industrial data mechanism and system, according to a notice published on the ministry’s WeChat social media account.
Other initiatives include strengthening foundational telecommunications capabilities, stepping up technological innovation, taking the initiative to lead and set international standards, establishing a sound security protection mechanism, and promoting deeper integration of artificial intelligence and the industrial internet.
Unlike previous industrial internet policies that focused primarily on connectivity, the latest plan also highlighted the role that “integrated applications” would play in supporting the industrial internet and its use in real-world settings.
