Alright, folks, buckle up! China’s top data honcho, Liu Liehong, Director of the National Data Administration, just paid a visit to China Mobile’s Migu division – and it’s a big deal. This wasn’t just a friendly chat; it was a clear signal about the government’s priorities.
On April 3rd, Liu toured Migu, checking out their data development, digital content ecosystems, and AI innovation. He wasn’t impressed with just potential, he wanted to see delivery. He held a serious sit-down andbasically told China Mobile – step up your game.
Liu explicitly wants China Mobile to be a driving force in the push for a more robust data market, and frankly, they need to be! We’re talking about real, tangible progress in how data is allocated and monetized. It’s about time someone shook things up!
And let’s not forget the infrastructure. Excellent data services need excellent infrastructure. Liu emphasized the need for China Mobile to invest significantly in building out a stronger, more reliable data foundation. Frankly, it’s foundational!
Here are some key takeaways:
Data Monetization is Key: China recognizes data as a crucial economic asset. Developing frameworks for secure and efficient data trading is now top priority.
Infrastructure Matters: Reliable data infrastructure – think 5G, cloud computing, and robust data centers – are essential for unlocking data’s potential. Duh!
The Role of State-Owned Enterprises: The government is heavily relying on SOEs like China Mobile to spearhead these initiatives. The pressure is ON.
Digital Content Ecosystems: Building out compelling digital content platforms, like Migu, is a key part of creating demand for data and driving innovation.
