[EpochTimesAugust292021](Epoch Times reporter Junlin Hou Taiwan Comprehensive Report) The CCP continues to tighten its regulatory measures, and it has launched a big data battle with Chinese technology giants. Regulators have recently ordered Chinese state-owned enterprises to accelerate the transfer of data from cloud services such as Alibaba and Tencent to the government cloud. The CCP’s supervision will also cause turbulence in China’s cloud service market, which is still controlled by private companies at this stage.
According to the South China Morning Post, only a few days before the effective date of the China Data Security Law (September 1), China’s State Assets Regulatory Agency ordered that state-owned enterprises must accelerate the transfer of data from cloud services such as technology giants Alibaba and Tencent. , Transferred to the government’s cloud.
The report pointed out that the Tianjin State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (SASAC) issued a notice on the 27th, ordering Chinese state-owned enterprises not to build new data centers, purchase servers or purchase other storage hardware. According to a document issued by the Tianjin Municipal Government on August 12, it is necessary to prohibit signing extension contracts or new lease contracts with public cloud platforms operated by Huawei, Alibaba, Tencent, China Unicom, China Mobile, and China Telecom.
It is worth noting that the data content stored in these cloud segment platforms must be migrated to the digital infrastructure controlled by SASAC within two months of the expiration of the existing lease. The final transfer deadline is the end of September next year. The notice finally stated that “because the data of state-owned enterprises are state assets, they must be supervised.”
Outsiders believe that Beijing’s move is expected to cause turmoil in China’s cloud service market. Earlier, the CCP purged Alibaba founder Jack Ma and stopped the listing of Ant Group. Behind the scenes, the CCP wanted to obtain control of customer data.
Beginning last year, the CCP began to require technology giants such as Alibaba, Tencent and ByteDance to share the collected consumption data with the government. There was also news in June this year that Ant Group was discussing consumer data issues with state-owned enterprises.
SASAC supervises China’s 97 largest industrial companies, including China National Petroleum Corporation, Baowu Iron and Steel Group and China Mobile, and controls assets of up to 70 trillion yuan. However, SASAC did not provide its cloud service, which is different from the details of the three state-owned telecom operators.
According to Internet Data Center (IDC) data, in terms of infrastructure as a service (IaaS), Alibaba led the market with a market share of 40.6% in the fourth quarter of last year, followed by Tencent and Huawei each with 11 %, in the end, China Telecom accounted for 8.7%, ranking fourth.
