The China-ASEAN (Bama) Big Data Cloud Computing Base was selected as a benchmark leading key support platform. Construction on the project started in March 2020, and it has a total investment of 5.5 billion yuan. After its completion, the project is expected to meet the computing power needs of Guangxi and all of South China within a few years, and provide strong support for Guangxi and ASEAN in carrying out in-depth cooperation on big data applications, e-commerce, and the construction of the "China-ASEAN Digital Silk Road".
