Guizhou may be on the cusp of starting a new industrial revolution in the digital age, according to comments made by Wang Jian, the chief technology officer of Alibaba, at a recent two sessions interview.

He noted that Guizhou is under pressure to transform its economy and that its desire for reform is far more than in developed cities in coastal areas.

"Cloud computing and the big data industry would be a wise choice for Guizhou," said Wang.

Alicloud, a subsidiary of Alibaba Group, has helped the Guizhou provincial government to build a cloud service platform to break the data barriers among different governmental departments in Guizhou and enable them to share data with each other.

Wang has been to Guizhou five times and has been impressed by Guizhou's entrepreneurs. Wang was particularly impressed by the Guizhou Rongchung Sci&Tech Company, which was founded by eight under graduates who created a game based on cloud computing; the company is valued at more than 30 million yuan ($4.8 million). "It is a miracle in cloud computing," Said Wang.

"Big data is the future of information technology. If Guizhou stays in big data and cloud computing, it will attract more talented people," Wang added.

Alibaba Group Holding Limited (NYSE: BABA) is a Chinese e-commerce company that provides consumer-to-consumer, business-to-consumer and business-to-business sales services via web portals.

Aliyun is a Linux distribution software for smartphones based on the Android Open Source Project and is developed by AliCloud, a subsidiary of Alibaba Group.
