[China accelerates the large-scale and green development of its computing infrastructure]The latest data released by the National Data Administration recently shows that the eight major national hub nodes of China's "East Data West Calculation" have driven investment of over 200 billion yuan, and the total scale of existing data center racks exceeds 1.95 million standard racks, further highlighting the agglomeration and pulling effects; The urban computing power network with transmission delay controlled within 1 millisecond has been preliminarily implemented in the demonstration area, further optimizing user experience; The lowest energy utilization efficiency of newly built data centers has been reduced to 1.04, further accelerating green and low-carbon development. The National Data Administration stated that in the future, it will further coordinate the integration and coordination of computing power in the eastern, central, and western regions to enhance the efficiency of computing power network transmission; Promote the matching of computing power demand and reduce the cost of computing power usage for research institutions and small and medium-sized enterprises; Promote the construction of clean energy computing power centers and achieve the transformation of green energy into green computing power.

On the afternoon of October 8th, under the on-site escort of the Guangdong Zhanjiang Maritime Bureau's "Haixun 0927" ship, the first flatbed cargo ship dedicated to the transportation of new energy vehicles in the Qiongzhou Strait, the "Green Source No. 1" ship, slowly entered the Xuwen Hai'an New Port, marking the successful trial operation of the ship's roll on/roll off transport route in the Qiongzhou Strait. It is reported that the deck cargo ship "Green Source No.1" has a total tonnage of 6731, a net tonnage of 3769, a length of 125.8 meters, and a width of 28 meters. The ship adopts a single-layer deck design, which can carry more than 160 new energy vehicles on a single voyage under full load conditions. The parking capacity is about 60% higher than that of existing passenger and roll on/roll off transport ships. The ship is planned to be deployed on the route from Hai'an New Port in Zhanjiang to Xiuying Port in Haikou. After being put into operation, it will add a new mode of sea transportation for new energy vehicles in the Qiongzhou Strait and effectively alleviate the tense situation of insufficient capacity for new energy vehicle transportation during the peak period of cross sea vehicle transportation in the Qiongzhou Strait.

On October 9, 2024, Malaysian Deputy Prime Minister Fadhila stated that Malaysia has made progress in improving energy efficiency and that "energy conservation" has become the key to energy transition. Meanwhile, Malaysia will promote the ASEAN power grid as a key topic of discussion at the ASEAN Energy Ministers' Meeting. At the 2024 Asia Power and Energy Exhibition, which opened on the 8th, Fadhila revealed that as of June, Malaysia has saved 8769 gigawatt hours of electricity, worth over 2.2 billion ringgit, and plans to reduce 38 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions by 2025. In addition, the Malaysian government has approved the establishment of an energy exchange aimed at selling green electricity to neighboring countries. As the rotating chair of ASEAN in 2025, Malaysia will promote the construction of the ASEAN power grid to promote the promotion of renewable energy and enhance the resilience and reliability of electricity supply in ASEAN member countries.
