What is "new infrastructure"
What is "new infrastructure"? According to the information released by CCTV, it covers the construction of 5G base stations, new energy vehicle charging piles, big data centers, artificial intelligence, industrial Internet, ultra-high voltage, intercity and urban rail transit, involving seven major fields and related industrial chains.
Several directions for new infrastructure construction
At the same time, some opinions classify it as information network, transportation network and energy network, and 5G base station construction, big data center, artificial intelligence and industrial Internet are information networks; High speed rail, urban rail, and intercity rail serve as transportation networks; Ultra high voltage, new energy vehicle charging stations, and smart grids serve as energy grids.
Why is it called "new infrastructure"? This is actually quite different from traditional infrastructure or commonly known as "iron public foundation". "Tiegongji" mainly targets infrastructure and public facilities such as railways, highways, and rail transit. As a traditional infrastructure, "Iron Public Foundation" is more like a foundation to stabilize domestic economic development. In fact, if we look at the long-term rapid development of national technology and economy, new infrastructure is the focus of our efforts, which is more in line with the concept of "developing the country through science and technology".
The launch of new infrastructure this time, just like the "4 trillion" launched by countries in response to the financial crisis in 2008, is one of the reasons to resist the impact of the epidemic and economic slowdown.
