Nippon Television Network:

Guizhou is becoming a big data center in China. My question is, will the province roll out more measures to attract foreign investment? In addition, some foreign companies may be worried about data security. What kind of measures will Guizhou take in this regard? Thanks.  

Shen Yiqin:

Mr. Lu will take these questions. 

Lu Yongzheng:

Thanks for your questions. As an in-land opening-up pilot economic zone, Guizhou is opening its doors wider to the outside world and has used foreign investment more effectively in recent years. In our view, foreign investment is not only capital but also represents an open attitude and mind. The province has been optimizing its business environment that is based on market principles, governed by law and up to international standards. In 2017, according to the evaluative standards of the business environment by the World Bank, we spearheaded evaluations conducted by a third party across the province. In 2019, we issued the opinions on raising the level of foreign capital utilization and promoting high-quality economic development and four supporting documents. This actively guided foreign companies to cluster in nine opening-up and innovative areas in the province. For now, 26 foreign top-500 companies have invested in Guizhou, which is becoming an appealing destination for foreign investment. 

As the first national-level comprehensive pilot zone for big data in China, Guizhou province is now home to more than 20,000 businesses embracing the cloud, and a cluster development trend has been formed. Foreign investment is accelerating its move into Guizhou's big data sector. The actual use of foreign investment in information transmission, software and information technology services accounts for more than 30% of the actual use of foreign investment in Guizhou.

Your second question is also the focus of a group of more than 30 overseas reporters during their recent trip to Guizhou province. The trip was organized by the State Council Information Office. They got satisfactory answer after the site visit and exchanges. Today, I'd like to answer the question again. In order to bring the development of the big data industry under the rule of law, we issued, in 2016, China's first local legislation on big data: the Regulations for Promoting Big Data Development and Application in Guizhou Province. Later, we also issued Big Data Security Protection Regulations of Guizhou Province and Regulations on Sharing and Opening of Government Data in Guizhou Province, which make normative and clear provisions on basic issues such as data collection, data sharing and data security. While ensuring data security and personal privacy, we open public data, promote the flow of data elements, and develop the data industry. It is an opportunity facing both Chinese and foreign companies, which will further stimulate development of new models, new industries and new forms of business. We will continue to protect data security and personal privacy by law. We are looking forward to working with business friends at home and abroad to explore the blue ocean market of big data industry, share the dividends of the digital economy, and build a community with a shared future for mankind in the digital era. Thank you.
