A batch of industrial clusters with hundreds of billions of yuan in investments will be built in China, Economic Information Daily reported on Thursday.

In May, some local governments published roadmaps on infrastructure construction investments focusing on 5G, artificial intelligence and industrial internet.

In Guangzhou, 16 new digital infrastructure constructions have signed contracts on Monday involving AI, Big Data and digital industry, with total investments reaching 56.5 billion yuan.

By 2025, China's investment in 5G, extra-high voltage, intercity high-speed railway, urban subway systems, new energy cars and chargers, big data, AI and industrial internet, will reach 10 trillion yuan, as well as will drive supporting industries.
