China plans to build an integrated national big data center, an official said on Wednesday.

 

中国计划建造一座国家级综合大数据中心。

 

The center aims to promote better sharing of public data for wider application, especially for data in sectors¹ such as credit, transportation, health and employment, said Zhang Feng, chief engineer of the Ministry² of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT).

 

China will also study the formulation of a development roadmap for industrial data to push the integration³ of big data and manufacturing.

 

China will strengthen security protection in the collection, storing, application and sharing of big data.

 

Zhang shared the information at an MIIT conference to mark World Telecommunication⁴ and Information Society Day on May 17, with "Big Data for Big Impact" as this year's theme.

 

China's data volume is projected to expand at an annualized rate of over 50 percent and account for 21 percent of worldwide data by 2020.
