In China, they are confident that such an Internet will contribute to the realization of many breakthroughs in science and technology. The initiative arose against the background of US attempts to limit the rapid technological development of a country known for its totalitarian laws and threats to the democratic world.

How is it going to be?

Ministry of Science and Technology of the People’s Republic of China, All the efforts in recent years have made China’s supercomputers a leader in the industry worldwide.. They support scientific and technical innovation, social security and the country’s digital economy. At the same time, with the rapid development of next-generation information technologies, big data and artificial intelligence, society is making higher demands on computing power.

One of the important goals of creating a supercomputer Internet is to strengthen the coordination of relevant resources on a national scale. This will enable China to overcome several key challenges:

• Unequal distribution of computing power.
• Lack of standardization in computer interfaces.
• Gaps in independent research, development and promotion of relevant application software.

It is expected that such an internet will contribute to the realization of many breakthroughs in science and technology.

Scientists from the Chinese Academy of Engineering highlighted the need for an integrated and efficient supercomputer internet to make supercomputers more accessible to researchers and businesses. Supercomputers can drive technological transformations. Therefore, it is important to reduce the cost of accessing such computing power and reduce barriers to entry for programming and their use.

the other side of the coin

Of course, no one believes that China as a totalitarian country, will not miss the opportunity to wield such great powerto strengthen its internal internet presence, monitor people more comprehensively and effectively, further limit their rights and freedoms, persecute dissidents, suppress freedom of expression and more.

Even a single supercomputer, while undoubtedly not the best in the world, is a strong foundation for the operation of artificial intelligence developed in China. Growing capabilities open the door to even more powerful AI systems.
