中国社会科学院工业经济研究所研究员罗仲伟表示，西部地区大力建设现代工业体系和发展大数据、云计算技术，展现出推动高科技新兴产业发展的强大韧性和潜力。

The government's decision to establish eight national computing hubs and 10 national data center clusters demonstrates that the country is taking steps to channel more computing resources from its eastern regions to less-developed but resource-rich western regions and the move will speed up digital transformation¹⁰ and upgrade industries in western regions, Luo added.

罗仲伟称，政府设立8个国家算力枢纽和10个国家数据中心集群的决策表明，我国正采取措施将更多计算资源从东部地区迁移到不够发达但资源丰富的西部地区，此举将会加速西部地区的数字改革和产业升级。

In January, China issued a guideline to support Guizhou in breaking new ground in the country's pursuit of fast development of its western regions in the new era. The guideline, released by the State Council, China's Cabinet, underscored the importance of promoting the construction of an inland open-economy pilot zone and developing the digital economy.

今年1月，国务院印发了《关于支持贵州在新时代西部大开发上闯新路的意见》，强调了推动内陆开放型经济试验区建设和发展数字经济的重要性。

Guizhou has seen rapid development in its big data industry in recent years, with tech giants from home and abroad stepping up efforts to set up data centers in the province due to its cooler climate and ample power resources.

贵州近年来大数据产业发展十分迅猛，由于气候凉爽、电力资源丰富，国内外科技巨头纷纷在贵州建立数据中心。

Chongqing has also witnessed its industrial output rise 8.5 percent on a yearly basis in the first three months. The output of emerging industries, such as photovoltaic cells, industrial robots and service robots, expanded 92.9 percent, 34.1 percent and 20.7 percent, respectively, higher than the overall first-quarter industrial output.

一季度，重庆市规模以上工业增加值同比增长8.5%。新兴产业增势强劲，光伏电池、工业机器人、服务机器人分别增长92.9%、34.1%和20.7%，均高于一季度工业增加值总体水平。

The western regions have abundant renewable energy and will become a key base for developing strategic emerging industries in the nation, said Xiang Ligang, director-general of the Information Consumption Alliance, a telecom industry association, adding that compared with the Yangtze River Delta¹¹ and the Pearl River Delta areas, manpower costs are relatively¹² low in western regions.

信息消费联盟理事长项立刚指出，西部地区可再生资源丰富，将会成为我国发展战略性新兴产业的重要基地。他还表示，与长江三角洲和珠江三角洲地区相比，人力成本在西部地区相对较低。

Xiang added that more efforts should be made to speed up some key industries including equipment manufacturing, new materials and new energy vehicles in western regions to promote the nation's high-quality economic development.

项立刚指出，应在西部地区大力高速发展设备制造业、新材料和新能源汽车等关键产业，推动国家经济高质量发展。
