CHINA has launched a census to take stock of the production, storage, circulation, trade, utilisation and security of data resources across the country, the National Data Administration said.

The census, started from Feb. 18 to March 5, aimed to provide statistical support for policy-making as well as the launch of pilot demonstration programmes, said the administration.

The participants of the census included relevant provincial-level government departments, manufacturers of data collection and storage equipment, enterprises in sectors of consumer and industrial internet platforms.

It had big data and artificial intelligence, bourse of data resources, and national laboratories.

The census also covered centrally-administered state-owned enterprises, industry associations and chambers, as well as the State Information Centre.

China launched a three-year campaign in December 2023,  to promote the use of data as a factor of production in major scenarios, promising to increase efforts to promote the high-level application of data.

It would ensure the quality of data supply, improve the environment of data circulation and strengthen data security. (Xinhua/NAN)
