The general offices of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and the State Council have introduced comprehensive guidelines aimed at accelerating the development and utilization of public data resources. This initiative is designed to bolster the digital economy and establish new competitive advantages for the Chinese mainland.
By 2025, the guidelines aim to preliminarily establish a robust system and set of rules for the development and utilization of public data resources. This will include the enrichment of data products and services, with significant progress anticipated in key industries and regions.
Looking ahead to 2030, the Chinese mainland plans to establish a comprehensive system for data development and utilization, ensuring compliant and efficient data circulation. Public data will be integral in empowering the real economy, expanding consumer demand, increasing investment opportunities, and enhancing governance capabilities.
The guidelines emphasize the creation of a sound policy framework for data openness, advocating for orderly data sharing in line with laws and regulations. This approach prioritizes national data security, as well as the protection of personal information and business secrets.
Additionally, the guidelines encourage innovative applications to foster the healthy growth of the data industry. By balancing development with security measures, the Chinese mainland seeks to create an optimal environment for the growth and utilization of public data resources.
