The blue book, which evaluated 31 Chinese key
cities (excluding four municipalities and Lhasa), highlighted that China
is currently bolstering development of big data through breakthrough
innovation and application of big data, which is playing a bigger role
in improving state governance, enhancing public services, and boosting
economic transformation and innovation-oriented development. The big
data industry has been transformed to become a new driver and source of
growth for economic and social development.
The “Development of Big Data in China No.2”
continued its evaluation of the cities’ application of big data in the
fields of politics, commerce and civilian use. Shenzhen, Guangzhou,
Wuhan, Hangzhou, Nanjing, Chengdu, Guiyang, Qingdao, Ningbo and Xiamen
were named the top 10 cities, according to the ranking that evaluated 31
Chinese key cities in 2017.
Guangdong, Beijing, Zhejiang, Shanghai, Jiangsu,
Shandong, Guizhou, Tianjin, Chongqing and Fujian were the top 10
provincial-level regions.
The 2017 index outperformed that in 2016, with an
average score of 32.47, up 25% from 25.98 in 2016. Among the 31 cities,
16 saw their scores remain above the average level. In terms of score
distribution, Shenzhen only led the other cities by a small margin in
2017, just as it did in 2016, indicating that cities are closing the gap
in their big data development.
The blue book showed that Shenzhen and Guangzhou
led other Chinese key cities in big city development, with Shenzhen
ranking No.1 and performing well across all indicators. The city took a
big lead in the development of the digital economy and ranking No.1 in
commercial and civilian applications. However, Shenzhen saw a big
decline in the political application ranking coming in at 7th.
Meanwhile, political application of big data still
plays the largest role, while commercial application is just beginning
to take effect. However, civilian applications have yet to give a strong
boost to big data development. Cities such as Shenzhen, where big data
development has been more rapid, saw their score in commercial
application rise above that of civilian application, indicating that
such cities have switched to focus on commercial application to boost
overall development.
This indicates that as big data development enters a
new phase, commercial applications will serve as a main driver, and big
data, as a new factor of production, has demonstrated its role of
driving innovation and providing a new impetus for development of the
digital economy and the upgrade of traditional industries.
The blue book suggests that only when more
supportive policies are rolled out will commercial use of big data be
able to boost development of big data in society.
