Overview of the Xinchuang (Information Technology Application Innovation) Industry and Resources

On March 4, 2016, nineteen domestic organizations focused on key software and hardware technologies jointly established a non‑profit social organization named the Information Technology Application Innovation Working Committee (commonly abbreviated as Xinchuang Committee), marking the earliest origin of the term "Xinchuang".

Xinchuang, short for information technology application innovation, encompasses the entire IT industry, ranging from underlying hardware (chips, servers, storage) and middleware software (operating systems, databases, middleware) to core application software (ERP, OA, industrial software) and the associated network security domain.

The Xinchuang industry covers four main areas: IT infrastructure (CPU chips, servers, storage, networking, cloud), foundational software (operating systems, databases, middleware, BlIOS), application software (OA, ERP, government applications, electronic signature software), and information security (perimeter and endpoint security products).

Development phases are outlined as follows: "Awakening" (1986‑1993) with early projects like the 863 program and WPS 1.0; "Start" (1993‑2008) featuring the first domestic Linux, COSIX 1.0, and early server and CPU initiatives; "Acceleration" (2008‑2016) with Alibaba’s internal IT upgrades, the merging of Zhongbiao Linux and Galaxy Kylin, and the release of ARM‑based CPUs; "Reliability" (2016‑2019) marked by the establishment of the National Integrated Circuit Industry Investment Fund, security projects, and the emergence of domestic CPUs such as Zhaoxin KX6000 and Phytium FT‑2000/4; and the current "Comprehensive Upgrade" (2019‑present) under the "2+8" strategy, driving autonomous and controllable information products across 18 major industries.

Numerous downloadable reports are provided, including deep‑dive Xinchuang series PDFs, annual development research reports (2020, 2021), ecosystem analyses, cloud computing studies, and specialized topics such as CPU & OS foundations, research frameworks, and industry whitepapers.

The article also contains promotional information encouraging readers to purchase a bundled collection of technical documents (original price ¥350, discounted to ¥198) and to join the "Intelligent Computing Chip Knowledge" community for full access to the resources.
