Recently, the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China held a meeting and explicitly proposed to "deeply tap into the potential of domestic demand". Among them, "strengthening the planning and construction of water networks, new power grids, computing power networks, new generation communication networks, urban underground pipeline networks, logistics networks, etc." is placed in a prominent position. These "six networks" cover both the upgrading of traditional infrastructure and the construction of new infrastructure. During this year's National People's Congress and Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, the relevant person in charge of the National Development and Reform Commission revealed that it is estimated to invest over 7 trillion yuan in the construction of the "Six Networks" and key areas this year. What are the main aspects covered by the construction of the "Six Networks"? What impact will it have on economic development? Why has it become a driving force for expanding domestic demand? The reporter conducted an interview. Accurately focusing on the shortcomings and weaknesses during the spring plowing season, in the "Chazhai Gongmi" planting base in Jiangkou County, Tongren City, Guizhou Province, clear springs flow into the fields through hardened channels, nourishing the rice seedlings; In the cold water fish farming base, clean water sources are continuously supplied to ensure characteristic farming... Relying on the water network advantages of the county's four main rivers and 25 small and medium-sized reservoirs, the local grain production has laid a solid foundation and injected momentum into the improvement of the quality and efficiency of characteristic agricultural industries. This is a microcosm of infrastructure construction promoting industrial development. Several experts have stated in interviews with our reporter that one important purpose of strengthening the planning and construction of the "six networks" is to fill in the gaps and strengthen the foundation for development. Xiang Aibing, a researcher at the Comprehensive Transportation Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Macroeconomics, said that the "Six Networks" are an important component of the modern infrastructure system. Strengthening the planning and construction of the "Six Networks" is not only an accurate assessment of the current economic situation and a systematic deployment of economic work, but also a specific implementation of the strategic task of building a modern infrastructure system and major projects proposed in the "15th Five Year Plan" outline. In practice, strengthening the planning and construction of the "Six Networks" will focus on the shortcomings and weaknesses in economic development, and make precise efforts to enhance the strategic, fundamental, and leading role of infrastructure in the overall national economy and social development. From the perspective of stable economic growth, the large-scale investment and construction of the "Six Networks" have a significant driving effect on economic growth. According to relevant institutions' calculations, a 1 trillion yuan investment in traditional infrastructure can directly drive GDP growth of 0.7 trillion yuan to 0.9 trillion yuan, and indirectly drive GDP growth of 2 trillion yuan to 2.6 trillion yuan. Compared to traditional infrastructure, the "multiplier effect" of new infrastructure construction such as 5G and computing power on economic growth will be more significant. From the perspective of improving social benefits, the steady and orderly investment and construction of the "Six Networks" can generate positive government tax revenue effects, employment creation effects, and social stability effects. Related studies have shown that every 100 million yuan investment in transportation and logistics can drive a production tax of 0.133 billion yuan and retain 431 jobs. The investment, construction, operation and management of industrial infrastructure such as new power grids, new generation communication networks, and logistics networks, as well as the extension of industrial chains, will bring about an increase in tax revenue and create a large number of job opportunities. Water networks and urban underground pipelines directly serve people's livelihoods, helping to enhance the sense of gain and happiness of urban and rural residents, and maintaining social harmony and stability. Moreover, infrastructure such as transportation, energy, water conservancy, information, and computing power are important components of the country's major productivity layout. Strengthening the planning and construction of the 'Six Networks' will help promote regional coordinated development and the implementation of major regional strategies. ”Speak to the beloved soldier. Dong Yu, Executive Vice President of the China Development Planning Research Institute at Tsinghua University, believes that China is currently in the initial stage of major investment during the "15th Five Year Plan" period. Strengthening the construction of the "Six Networks" plan can fully drive effective investment and play its role in stimulating domestic demand. These 'six networks' are closely linked to the major tasks deployed in the 15th Five Year Plan, and will provide fundamental support for industrial development, technological innovation, and improvement of people's livelihoods. At the same time, the term 'internet' itself implies that the measures to address shortcomings have a wide coverage, involving many regions and forming a number of landmark projects. Through the transmission of these iconic projects, effective investment can be actively driven and their promoting effect on consumption can be exerted, thereby better achieving a virtuous cycle between supply and demand. ”Dong Yu said. The strong support for the collaborative construction of the "six networks" in cutting-edge fields will also create conditions for better cultivating new quality productivity. Among them, the new power grid, computing power grid, and new generation communication network will greatly drive the development of energy transformation, digital economy, artificial intelligence, and other fields, attracting high attention at home and abroad. On April 19th, the 2026 humanoid robot half marathon began in Beijing, and the top three robot runners all had a net time better than the current human men's half marathon world record. Behind the breakthrough, it cannot be separated from the comprehensive and three-dimensional communication guarantee system built by China Mobile Beijing based on hard core technologies such as 5G-A, scenario specific slicing, intelligent business recognition and differentiated support, and Beidou high-precision positioning. Cao Lei, Deputy Director of the Institute of Wireless and Terminal Technology at China Mobile Research Institute, said that the scientific planning and construction of the "Six Networks" will provide top-level support and infrastructure guarantee for China Mobile to strengthen the coordinated layout of communication network, computing power network, and intelligent network. It will also further lay a solid foundation for breakthroughs in cutting-edge fields such as the large-scale development of low altitude economy, the landing of embodied intelligence scenarios, and the application of AI intelligence in all scenarios. How to understand the meaning of "new generation" in the new generation communication network? Zhang Haiyi, Director of the Institute of Technology and Standards at the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology, introduced in an interview with our reporter that the new generation of communication network is driven by innovation in communication technology and new application demands. It is characterized by high-speed ubiquitous, global intelligence, resilient security, and integrated empowerment, providing high-quality information and communication services for the digital transformation of the economy and society. Zhang Haiyi said that the new generation communication network includes not only the 5G mobile communication network currently used, but also the basic network composed of 5G-A/6G, optical network and data communication network, the space network with satellite Internet as the main body, the international network with marine and land optical cables as the main carrier medium, the integrated network covering industrial Internet, low altitude intelligent network, and emergency communication network serving for emergency communication support. The new generation communication network is not only a highway for data transmission, but also a major engine driving industrial upgrading, mode innovation, and efficiency change. It is accelerating its transformation from a "basic connection pipeline" to a "core production factor", and is also a key foundation for providing information and communication connections and services for the other five networks. The new generation of communication networks has stronger capabilities, better performance, and higher reliability, which can provide a network foundation for high-quality joint computing, input computing, etc., support AI high-quality training and reasoning, and promote the improvement of the intelligence level of communication networks. In addition, high-quality communication networks can better support various new scenarios and applications such as short videos, live streaming, intelligent connected vehicles, drones, etc. ”Zhang Haiyi said that many aspects of the "Six Networks" planning and construction involve network equipment, access terminals, high-speed devices, instruments and meters, which can help drive the upgrading of supporting industries and form a virtuous cycle of "network deployment scenario verification industry improvement". At the same time, the improvement of high-performance computing power and intelligent capabilities is expected to inject new momentum into industrial upgrading, stimulate new models and formats, and further promote the deepening of digital transformation in various fields of the economy and society. For ordinary people, strengthening the planning and construction of the "six networks" will also bring tangible changes to their lives in order to better serve the people's lives. The water network, urban underground pipeline network, and logistics network will improve urban resilience and circulation efficiency, making urban residents' lives more convenient and their quality of life higher. The construction of new power grids, computing power grids, and next-generation communication networks will enable people to enjoy more benefits brought by technology. Among them, the planning and construction of the "logistics network" has attracted attention. In the eyes of many people, logistics in China is already relatively developed, why should it be included as a key area for planning and construction? During the 14th Five Year Plan period, China's warehousing and distribution achieved rapid development, with the basic completion of the national warehouse network layout and an increase in the intensity of urban and rural distribution. However, there are still some bottlenecks. For example, there is severe redundancy in old warehouses, and the comprehensive and value-added service capabilities of industrial chain supply chain warehousing and distribution are insufficient. At this time, strengthening the planning and construction of the 'Six Networks' and incorporating the logistics network into it is conducive to better building a unified domestic market, promoting efficient flow of logistics factors, and reducing logistics costs for the whole society. ”Li Yan, President of the China Warehousing and Distribution Association, told our reporter. According to Li Yan, warehousing is the node and hub of the logistics network, while distribution is the terminal capillary of the logistics network. The construction of several other networks such as computing power network, new generation communication network, urban underground pipeline network, etc. can provide strong support for the layout optimization, updating and transformation of storage nodes and hubs, better break through logistics network bottlenecks, enable industry development to get rid of low-end price wars, enhance industrial added value, and better serve production and life. Zhou Zhicheng, Director of the Research Office of the China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing, said that in recent years, a total of 181 national logistics hubs, 105 national backbone cold chain logistics bases, more than 2700 large-scale logistics parks, as well as a large number of urban logistics centers and terminal outlets have been laid out and constructed nationwide. However, the overall logistics resources in China still follow a pattern of "dense in the east and sparse in the west", with high logistics costs for cross regional and cross mode operations, which is not conducive to industrial gradient transfer. It is urgent to strengthen the construction of cross regional and cross mode logistics backbone networks, enhance logistics resource allocation capabilities, and help upgrade industries in the east and undertake industrial transfer in the central and western regions. From this perspective, strengthening the planning and construction of the "six networks" is expected to better stimulate the innovative development momentum of the modern service industry and help cultivate new quality productivity. The digital transformation of logistics infrastructure in China is relatively lagging behind. Most hubs still prioritize hardware over software, lacking investment in digital infrastructure equipment, and the problem of 'information silos' is widespread. In the planning and construction of the 'Six Networks', the organic coordination between the logistics network and other networks such as the new power grid and computing power network is conducive to the integration and development of digital logistics network and physical logistics network, and the construction of a new infrastructure network that integrates data and reality and promotes collaborative innovation, ultimately forming the overall pattern of a modern national logistics network' One Network '. ”Zhou Zhicheng said that in the future, various aspects such as land, transportation, taxation, and financing are expected to receive more specific support measures. In practice, what other issues should be paid attention to in strengthening the planning and construction of the "six networks"? Experts suggest balancing the economic, social, safety, effectiveness, and synergy of infrastructure investment and construction. Actively expanding effective investment is not about blindly laying out stalls or launching projects, nor is it about implementing large-scale infrastructure investment to create a 'flood irrigation' style strong stimulus. Instead, it is about focusing on key areas and weak links of economic and social development, and implementing a number of investment projects that are both beneficial for the present and the long term in a precise and orderly manner. ”Speaking to Aibing, to grasp the "moderate advance" degree of infrastructure construction, in addition to strict approval conditions for major projects, it is also necessary to make full use of the huge existing resource advantages, activate and upgrade the existing resources to bring incremental innovation and development, promote stock optimization and improvement through incremental construction, and comprehensively improve the efficiency of infrastructure resource allocation.
