We are developing platforms in several foreign languages such as Vietnamese and Russian,\u201d Xu told the Global Times.<\/p>\n He said more cooperation in the global markets will come as the firm stands ready to cooperate and share data resources with overseas counterparts under data security rules prescribed by the Chinese government.<\/p>\n Embracing opportunities that have emerged from the BRI, China would like to make joint efforts with the world to drive global digital development in industries like the internet, big data, artificial intelligence, cloud computing and smart cities, Wang Chen, member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and vice chairman of the Standing Committee of the 13th National People\u2019s Congress, said Sunday, May 26 at the opening ceremony of the expo.<\/p>\n The country will also properly respond to challenges of big data development in law, security and governance to let more countries and people share the achievements of industrial growth, according to Wang.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are looking forward to pursuing cooperation in e-commerce business with Chinese companies,\u201d Petr Jiricek, business development manager of Czech-based Proficio, told the Global Times.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s my first time to come to Guiyang. We talked with some wine companies that agreed to cooperate with us,\u201d he said, noting that opportunities brought about by the growth of big data industry will drive more cooperation between Chinese and Czech companies.<\/p>\n Cooperation in the manufacturing sector under the BRI will be a focus between Chinese and overseas companies, Liu Yang, executive vice president of the Guizhou Chamber of Commerce in North America, told the Global Times.<\/p>\n Cooperation in big data and artificial intelligence can be brought to the BRI markets through manufacturing projects from Chinese firms, as many of them have applied such technology to enhance production and management, Liu said.<\/p>\n Source\uff1aGlobal Times<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" By Huang Ge Visitors watch robots...<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8,12],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-17325","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-china","category-science-tech"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17325","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=17325"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17325\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":17326,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17325\/revisions\/17326"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=17325"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=17325"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=17325"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
