Member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, Chairman of JD Group's Technology Committee Cao Peng: Promote "Computing Power Vouchers" and "Model Service Subsidies" to Build a National Computing Power Scheduling System

In 2026, at the National Two Sessions, Cao Peng, member of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and Chairman of the JD Group Technology Committee, focused on topics such as the development of the AI industry, healthcare supply-side reform, and policies for replacing old consumer goods with new ones. He recommended activating the efficiency of the AI industry, deepening healthcare supply-side reform through AI, and accelerating the development of new productive forces in health and wellness.

Regarding activating the efficiency of the AI industry, Cao Peng proposed five specific suggestions. First, strengthen breakthroughs in chips and basic software, build a national-level computing power scheduling network and a universal benefit system, and introduce “computing power vouchers” and “model service subsidies” to enable intelligent computing power to be “accessible on demand and ubiquitously available.” Second, establish an efficiency-first evaluation and incentive system, implement a “deep integration of AI + industry” demonstration project, develop integrated terminals such as embodied robots and intelligent devices, and open new growth curves. Third, promote AI integration across the entire software development chain, build autonomous and controllable basic toolchains and open-source communities, and lower the barriers to R&D for society as a whole. Fourth, promote deep integration of artificial intelligence with elderly care and government services, providing convenient “chat-and-handle” services for seniors and disabled individuals, so that technological dividends benefit all citizens. Fifth, leverage the leading enterprises in the chain to drive the entire chain’s digital and intelligent transformation, and build a data-driven, intelligent decision-making “super supply chain.”

Currently, the “Healthy China 2030” strategy has entered a stage of deepening efforts, and artificial intelligence offers new solutions for improving healthcare services and solving industry development pain points.

To this end, Cao Peng suggested using AI to deepen healthcare supply-side reform, accelerate the development of new productive forces in health and wellness, such as strengthening AI innovation applications for specialized diseases; promote AI-driven closed-loop models of “medical examination—diagnosis—treatment—medication,” encourage internet healthcare platforms to create AI-driven full-process medical service loops, and support integrated models like “AI-guided diagnosis—online consultation—home testing—medication delivery—rehabilitation management”; encourage companies to develop full-process AI empowerment tools for doctors, support platforms to offer basic functions for free to all doctors, and help improve clinical decision-making efficiency and research capabilities; and accelerate the construction of new digital infrastructure in hospitals.

Consumer goods replacement policies are also a key focus for Cao Peng. He believes that the implementation of the “Two New” policies in rural counties still faces some bottlenecks. He recommends comprehensive measures such as increasing national subsidies for rural areas, establishing dedicated funds for rural subsidies, relaxing offline registration requirements for national subsidies, and coordinating efforts to activate rural consumer markets to promote the in-depth implementation of consumer goods replacement policies in rural areas.

Cao Peng also suggested building a “super supply chain,” accelerating the integration of embodied intelligence, robotics, and other technologies with industry and supply chains; and promoting a “self-operated direct signing” full-time employment model to protect the legal rights of new employment groups such as couriers.
