HONG KONG - China aims to boost the country’s aggregate computing power by more than 30% by 2025, according to a plan released by authorities on Monday, as Beijing tightens its focus on supercomputing and artificial intelligence innovations.

The plan, released by six departments in Beijing including the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology , has set a target for China’s total computing power to reach 300 EFLOPS by 2025. EFLOPS, equal to one quintillion floating-point operations per second, measures a computer's speed. As AI training requires a large amount of computation, the effort to expand the supply of computing power is increasingly becoming a focus for Beijing.

According to the plan, China aims to build out more data centres across the country to facilitate businesses' access to computing power.
