Liu Hongli, deputy to the People's Congress of Anhui Province and deputy manager of digital mining at the Huaibei Branch of China Telecom Co., Ltd., brought suggestions on building a "Jianghuai Quantum Network" and accelerating the development of the quantum secure communication industry in the province at the Fifth Session of the 13th People's Congress of Anhui Province.
On January 17, the Fifth Session of the 13th People's Congress of Anhui Province opened in Hefei. According to the Xin'an Evening News, Liu Hongli believes that the current development of quantum communication network infrastructure construction in inland cities in the province is uneven. Based on the advantages of technology and talent, Hefei has basically built a quantum communication metropolitan area network covering the whole city, but some cities in the province have not yet had a clear quantum communication development plan.

In this regard, she suggested planning and building a "Jianghuai Quantum Backbone Network" covering 16 prefectures and cities in the province. The provincial finance takes the lead in the prefectural and municipal finance, and jointly funds and jointly funds with social capital, and builds the "Jianghuai Quantum Backbone Network", gradually builds and connects to the quantum metropolitan area network of key cities, and the provincial government and local municipal governments take the lead in carrying out quantum confidential communication applications in the field of government affairs.
"The (Anhui) provincial and municipal governments have given certain preferential policies to enterprises in various industries that use the 'Jianghuai Quantum Backbone Network' and enterprises engaged in the development of quantum communication-related products, and encourage the development of new products and innovative applications." Liu Hongli said.
She proposed to increase the support of financial subsidies, guide industrial development, combine the distribution of industrial development in the province, explore the application of quantum security services in scenarios such as finance, electricity, and industrial Internet, and form a benign business operation model.
At the same time, encourage quantum enterprises in the province and universities in the province to jointly build talent training bases, fully consolidate and give full play to the technological leading advantages of local enterprises in the quantum industry, combine the teachers and educational resources of universities, continue to send high-quality talents to the quantum communication industry, help the sustainable development of the quantum communication industry with a mature and reliable talent training system, and gradually expand the leading advantages of the industry, and build a win-win situation of high-tech technological innovation and employment rate.
