Led by the National Development and Reform Commission, the plan would unify scattered computing facilities into a single grid by 2028, operated largely by state telecoms giants. Funding would come from sovereign debt, state funds, and private capital. While the figure is smaller than US private AI spending ($725bn in 2024 alone), the significance lies in state coordination of land, power, debt, and chips behind a unified national strategy. Nine domestic AI chips recently cleared a Chinese security review, signaling growing confidence in homegrown silicon. The move mirrors global AI sovereignty trends, with China aiming to minimize dependence on US technology across the entire AI stack. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
