en.Wedoany.com Reported - The 2026 China Internet Conference opened in Beijing, where Qiu Baohua, Deputy General Manager and Party Leadership Group Member of China United Network Communications Group Co., Ltd. (China Unicom), unveiled the company's Token economy strategic layout. He stated that China Unicom will leverage its advantages, including comprehensive infrastructure, a large existing user base, rich proprietary application scenarios, and ample data resources, to focus on advancing four key areas: system foundation building, internal efficiency enhancement, service empowerment, and ecological integration. This aims to improve the full-chain capabilities of Token creation, transfer, storage, and application, develop more AI agents, and maximize Token commercial value.
The 2026 Chinese Government Work Report proposed implementing new infrastructure projects such as ultra-large-scale intelligent computing clusters and computing-power-electricity synergy. China Unicom has built a "Three-in-One" centralized Token operation system, centered on a national computing power network, a unified computing network scheduling platform, and a unified model and Token distribution platform. In terms of infrastructure, the company has established large-scale intelligent computing centers in Shanghai Lingang, Hohhot in Inner Mongolia, Zhongwei in Ningxia, and Sanjiangyuan in Qinghai, with a total standard rack capacity exceeding 1.1 million racks. It has deployed seven 100-megawatt-level AIDC parks, with a total computing power scale reaching 45E FLOPS. Through green power direct connection and source-grid-load-storage methods, it reduces Token production costs while accelerating the construction of a new "Eight Vertical and Eight Horizontal" backbone optical cable network, adding over 9,000 kilometers of optical cable mileage to open up interconnection channels among national computing power hub nodes. The self-developed China Unicom Xingluo advanced computing power scheduling platform has provided relay, distribution, and one-click scheduling services in over 300 backbone cloud pools, achieving millisecond-level ultra-low latency transmission in key regions such as Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, the Yangtze River Delta, and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. The Yuanjing MaaS one-stop Token operation platform aggregates over 200 full-modal large models, offering a one-stop toolchain for model selection, fine-tuning, and deployment. At the inference level, China Unicom's self-developed asymmetric MoE architecture reduces activated parameters by over 20% without performance loss, significantly improving inference speed.
In the application domain, China Unicom focuses on the government and enterprise market. For general enterprise services, the Unicom Cloud Xi platform has served 59,000 enterprises and 7.42 million enterprise users, covering 14 major industries including transportation, logistics, finance, and insurance, accumulating 43 business scenarios and 10 TB of telecommunications industry data. In the industrial sector, the company adopts a "platform + application" model to deploy the enterprise private Token market, deeply serving leading enterprises in shipbuilding, aerospace, energy, and light industry. In the healthcare sector, China Unicom serves over 300 hospitals nationwide, collaborating with top-tier tertiary hospitals in Beijing to train over 100,000 cases of fetal cardiac imaging data, launching an intelligent agent for self-checking congenital heart disease screening.
In his speech, Qiu Baohua stated that China Unicom invites industry operators and ecosystem partners to collaborate, opening up core capabilities such as unified model management, standardized Token operation, and distribution channels, to create a Token service hub shared across the entire industry. All parties can gather the ecosystem through the platform, anchor value through applications, build differentiated barriers through data, and expand market scale through massive connections.
