It is more than two times as powerful as the previous record-holder Tianhe-2.
The Chinese had no machines in the 2001 list, he noted.
In the latest, China has 167 entries compared with 165 for the US.
In the meantime, the fastest supercomputer from the US only has about 560,000 cores in total.
The US targets to generate a supercomputer with 1,000 PFlops per second by 2025.
Although speed is a primary target, controlling the energy level is just as vital.
Otherwise, future supercomputers will consume power equivalent to the amount used by a middle-size city, said Fu.
Chinas supercomputing technology on Monday was also included on the shortlist of the German Innovation Awards Gottfried Wagnner Prize.
This was the first time that China has been included on the shortlist.
The winner will be announced later this year.
Earlier this year, it announced a joint venture with a Chinese organization to domesticate some of its technology.
