China megacity to build US$30 billion hi-tech infrastructure cluster by 2026, and investors will be key


By Ji Siqi

Shanghai is setting out to construct the world’s largest innovative infrastructure cluster – with the most comprehensive components and the strongest services – by the end of 2026, according to details of a new three-year plan released on the government’s website on Thursday.

The hi-tech endeavour – including 5G networks and amped-up computing power to cultivate a supercharged digital economy – comes as the central government has been putting the onus on computing power, given that its tech war with the US shows no sign of abating.
