China's State-owned enterprises plan to invest over 10 trillion yuan ($1.49 trillion) in more than 1,300 "new infrastructure"-related projects across the country during the 14th Five-Year Plan period (2021-25), injecting new impetus into efforts to sustain economic growth, said senior State-asset regulators on Friday.

和铁路、公路、水利等传统基建不同，新基建的概念指的是基于5G、人工智能、工业互联网和物联网等信息技术的关键基础设施。
SOEs will accelerate the pace of reform and innovation, and focus on areas such as industrial security, national economy, people's livelihood and public services to promote the transformation and development of traditional sectors. They will also bolster the growth of emerging industries, said Peng Huagang, secretary-general of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council.
