SOUNDBITE (Chinese) Yan Jianbin, researcher, Agricultural Genomics Institute at Shenzhen, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences; director, Hohhot Modern Synthetic Biology Research Institute: "Now, computing power has become a 'super engine' for synthetic biology research. In the research of biosynthetic enzymes for an anti-cancer drug, we conduct on-site computing and inference here, drastically cutting the research and development cycle from months or even years to just days or hours, providing immense support for our scientific research." 16.

Aerial shot of city view Storyline An invisible computing power network is rapidly taking shape from scratch in China, ushering in a trillion-yuan (about 147.92 billion U.S. dollars) investment cycle and empowering the development of the high-tech sectors including artificial intelligence (AI). Direct investment in the computing power network including information technology equipment and civil engineering projects is expected to reach the trillion-yuan level. The coordinated development of computing power and electricity infrastructure will become a new driver of investment growth. Investment in the computing power network has a multiplier effect and will also drive the accelerated growth of industries such as AI, autonomous driving, the low-altitude economy, and synthetic biology. At the Horinger data center cluster of the “Eastern Data, Western Computing” project in north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, various platforms serving meteorological monitoring, the commercialization of scientific research, smart manufacturing, and data trading are continuously emerging. The nation's largest computing platform dedicated to synthetic biology has also been set up here, attracting a research team from south China's tech-hub of Shenzhen. Yan Jianbin, a researcher of the Agricultural Genomics Institute at Shenzhen under the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences and director of the Hohhot Modern Synthetic Biology Research Institute, said the robust computing power provides huge support for their research and development. "Now, computing power has become a 'super engine' for synthetic biology research. In the research of biosynthetic enzymes for an anti-cancer drug, we conduct on-site computing and inference here, drastically cutting the research and development cycle from months or even years to just days or hours, providing immense support for our scientific research," he said.
