Guizhou province said just recently that it wants to be a leader in data innovations and applications sometime in the next 3-5 years.
It is in line with the State Council's announcement, on Sept 5, of new big data development guidelines and a call for Guizhou to be the only official province for that development and to build the nation's first big data pilot zone in the provincial capital city Guiyang.
Wang Cunfu, from the Ministry of Technology and Information, also announced that Guizhou is going down the right path and has seen great results in big data which it sees as a new opportunity.
In view of this, Guiyang, the provincial capital, is turning itself into a core data area for southern China.
