China on Thursday announced the completion of its first computing power network covering the convergence of “general computing, intelligent computing, supercomputing and quantum computing" in Suzhou City, east China's Jiangsu Province.
So far, this network has interconnected 21 intelligent computing centers, three national-level supercomputing centers, and three quantum computing centers.
The core of the computing power network is to utilize powerful network capabilities to aggregate and connect computing resources dispersed across various locations, and then dynamically schedule them in real-time according to demand, in order to achieve the optimal solution in terms of cost and efficiency. "[We] schedule different tasks to suitable computing resources to maximize overall effectiveness. The schedulable computing power accounts for one-sixth of the national computing power. For instance, the requirements of scientific computing like genetic sequencing will be allocated to various supercomputing centers across the country. In the future, it will be like creating a supercomputer by integrating computing power distributed in different locations," said Sun Shaoling, deputy director of China Mobile's Cloud Capability Center.
At China Mobile Cloud AI Conference 2025, Xia Bing, deputy head of the National Data Administration, highlighted the promotion of artificial intelligence and industrial innovation across society through intelligent scheduling of computing power tailored for key groups like small and medium-sized enterprises.
"By exploring and implementing intelligent scheduling integrated with the computing power and network, [we] provide optimal solutions for key groups, especially small and medium-sized enterprises, in terms of computing power, operation capacity, and storage capacity, thereby promoting the application of artificial intelligence and the development of industrial innovation of the whole society," said Xia.

Commemorative and educational activities were held across China to remember the martyrs, mourn the Nanjing Massacre victims killed during the Japanese aggression in the 1930s-1940s in China, and reflect on history, as this Saturday marks the 12th National Memorial Day for Nanjing Massacre Victims.
The Nanjing Massacre took place after Japanese forces captured Nanjing, then the Chinese capital, on Dec 13, 1937 and began six weeks of slaughter that claimed the lives of more than 300,000 Chinese civilians and unarmed soldiers.
An educational class was delivered in Nanjing City, east China's Jiangsu Province, simultaneously in some 100 cities across the nation. Utilizing a format that combines a main classroom with multiple live scenes and a full media broadcast, this open class transcended geographical barriers and achieved nationwide coordination.
"We must always remember this period of history, never forget the national humiliation, and strive for strength," said Peng Liyue, a student from Shiyan Dongfeng International School, central China's Hubei Province.
People from all walks of life gathered at the Memorial Hall of the former site of the New Fourth Army Headquarters for commemorative activities in Nanchang City, east China's Jiangxi Province.
They observed a moment of silence for the victims and revolutionary martyrs and presented wreaths to express their grief.
"As youth in the new era, we should shoulder this responsibility, carry forward the great spirit forged during the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, hone our skills, commit to our posts, forge ahead with determination, and make sustained efforts for the building of a strong nation and the great cause of national rejuvenation," said Wan Ying, a community official of Xihu District of Nanchang.
In Zuoquan County of Jinzhong City, north China's Shanxi Province, primary school teachers and students visited the former site of the Matian Eighth Route Army Headquarters to experience the dedication and commitment of the martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the cause of national liberation.
"We always base our education on revolutionary culture, leading students to follow in the footsteps of the martyrs, carry forward the great spirit of war of resistance, cultivate deep patriotism, and ensure the revolutionary heritage is passed down through generations," said Li Jiaxin, a teacher from Matian Primary School.
The Baise detachment of the Chinese People's Armed Police (PAP) Force Guangxi Corps held a series of memorial day activities, including moments of silence and renewing the oath of joining the Communist Party of China (CPC), to guide officers and soldiers in remembering history, never forgetting the national humiliation, boosting morale, and committing to strengthening the military.
"As revolutionary soldiers in the new era, we should remember all the more that sorrowful history, train hard to enhance our capabilities, and transform the remembrance of history into motivation for training and combat preparation," said Fu Chunfeng, a member of Baise detachment.
This year also marks the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War.
