The Central Cyberspace Affairs Commission issued the National Informatization Plan for the 15th Five-Year Period on 23 October 2026, targeting full build-out of a new-generation network and timely commercial launch of 6G by 2030. The plan sets 12 key indicators and 25 priority tasks across 10 areas, covering infrastructure, data center PUE, the intelligent internet, and cross-border data flow facilitation.

What it means for you

  • Vendors and investors in 6G, 5G-A, and computing infrastructure gain a clear national investment direction for product roadmaps and R&D planning
  • Intelligent terminals and agent applications are now tied to national-level adoption indicators, creating a scale-up window and likely follow-on support policies
  • Cross-border data flow facilitation actions and new security requirements will require companies with cross-border operations to adjust compliance architectures
