Xi calls for national integrated computing power network, spotlighting Inner Mongolia

China's leader wants compute to flow like electricity, and the country's windswept north is already wired for it Chinese President Xi Jinping wants computing power to behave more like electricity. Under that model, it would be generated where it is cheap, moved across the country, and consumed wherever demand happens to be. Speaking in Inner Mongolia, Xi called for building a national integrated computing power network and for deeper integration of the digital economy with the real economy. Electricity costs in the region average around 0.33–0.35 yuan per kWh, backed by abundant renewable energy. Connections from Inner Mongolia to major economic centers like Beijing run at under 5 ms of latency. As of May 2026, Inner Mongolia’s computing power totaled 315,000 petaflops, roughly one-seventh of China’s national capacity.
