As Mr. Lu has just said, we understand that Guizhou province has been making great efforts to develop big data in recent years, and the development of related industries has attracted wide attention. How does the big data industry influence the local economic and social development of Guizhou province? What efforts will be made in digital empowerment in the future, and what will be done to attract talents from related industries to stay in Guizhou? Thank you. 

Shen Yiqin:

I'd like to invite Mr. Li to answer these questions.

Li Bingjun:

Thanks for your questions. We can see that people are very concerned about the development of big data in Guizhou province. Why did the province develop big data? What are its advantages? As a place of relatively stable geological structure, Guizhou is home to abundant energy resources. With relatively low electricity prices and cooler temperature in summer, it is easy to dissipate heat for energy conservation and consumption reduction, giving it unique advantages and conditions to develop big data industry. General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed during his inspection tour of Guizhou in 2015 that "It makes sense to develop big data in Guizhou." In 2018 and 2019, he sent congratulatory letters to the China International Big Data Industry Expo held in Guizhou, giving clear requirements and sharing his vision for the development of big data industry. During this year's trip to Guizhou, he made clear that Guizhou has an important mission of seizing new opportunities while implementing the digital economy strategy, which has signaled the way forward for us to follow. 

We have fully enforced the important instructions by General Secretary Xi Jinping, implemented the big data strategic actions, and promoted big data-driven high-quality development. The growth rate of the province's digital economy has topped China for six consecutive years. First, the digital industry has sprung up. We have built a number of landmark data infrastructure projects. Guian New District has become one of the regions with the biggest number of super-large data centers in China. We have introduced a number of big data centers of companies like China Mobile, China Telecom, China Unicom, Huawei and Tencent. We have supported a number of local leading big data companies including Full Truck Alliance, Langma Mobile, BaishanCloud and Esgyn. Second, data has continued to empower integrated development. We have boosted the deep integration of big data with the real economy, poverty alleviation and rural vitalization, and with government functions to explore the value of data. We have developed China's first provincial cloud platform for government services, by which 100% of the provincial, municipal and county government affairs can be handled online. Guizhou was listed as one of China's five class-A regions for data opening. Third, the Big Data Expo has become an important brand. The world's first big data-themed expo has now been held six times, and has become one of the international authoritative exchange platforms, attracting many big data players from around the world.

Next, we will focus on "seizing new opportunities in implementing the digital economy strategy," search for "diamonds" in the big data mine, and explore blue ocean of digital economy to continue to bring new impetus to high-quality development. We will promote digital industrialization to develop a cluster of data center upstream and downstream industries, intelligent terminal industries and featured data integration industries. We will boost the digital development of industries and accelerate the transformation and upgrading of the real economy through digital technology. We will enhance digital governance to improve digital and intelligent levels of government administration, public service and social governance. We will also step-up efforts to explore data value. We will build a national hub for China's integrated big data center, a nationwide cloud service, and a computing base serving the whole nation, so as to release the value of data.

The development of big data cannot be separated from the support of talents. We have released an array of policies aimed at providing high-quality living standards and services for talents. We warmly welcome big data professionals to Guizhou. We are deepening opening-up and providing an optimized business environment for entrepreneurs from all over the world, sharing the benefits from the digital economy with everyone.

The 2021 China International Big Data Industry Expo will be held in Guiyang, the "data valley" of China, from May 26-28. With the theme of "Embrace Digital Intelligence, Deliver New Development," professionals and elites from the industry will be able to deepen cooperation and exchanges. We sincerely welcome you all to attend the conference and jointly discuss the future of big data development. Thank you.
