These subsea cables deliver low-latency, eco-efficient computing support for AI applications. They also incorporate underwater data centers into China’s national computing resource pool, enabling an innovative hybrid deployment model that combines land-based AI model training with subsea computational inference, the CCTV News report said.

　　China’s marine engineering equipment and high-end shipbuilding sectors have seen accelerated industrial transformation and upgrading in the recent years. The country has developed a large-scale, fully integrated marine engineering equipment industrial system with a coordinated whole-industry-chain development ecosystem.

　　Official data showed that China’s new marine engineering order value rose 36.4 percent year-on-year in the first quarter of 2026, securing the country’s leading position in the global marine engineering market. High-end vessels and advanced marine engineering equipment have emerged as the major driver behind the robust order growth.
