Huaxi powers ahead with digital economy

In recent years, taking new industrialization as its main engine of growth, Huaxi district in Guiyang, the capital of Southwest China's Guizhou province, has been advancing the high-quality development of its digital economy by leveraging the Huaxi Surface Treatment Industrial Base to improve its electronic information manufacturing industry.

The base is the only designated surface treatment base in Guiyang. It is also a key cultivation base for the district's electronic information manufacturing industry, and has a significant role to play in terms of helping to extend the industrial chain, improve the supply chain, and upgrade the value chain in the city as well as the province.

To expand its industrial clusters, the district has actively introduced electronic information manufacturing enterprises related to printed circuit boards, electronic components, and intelligent terminals. 

Guizhou Jiexintong Electronics Co, a high-tech enterprise integrating integrated circuit (chip) R&D and design, packaging and testing, intelligent terminal production and sales, settled in the base on May 11.

Huaxi has also made unwavering efforts to help local enterprises promote their digital transformation. In 2022, another 46 real economy enterprises have deeply integrated big data into their development.

Benefiting from digital operations and management, Guizhou Taibang Biological Products Co, a leading integrated blood products and biomedical company, has greatly expanded the scale of its plasma collection, increasing the amount of plasma by 80 metric tons in 2022, which represents at least 200 million yuan ($28.14 million) of output value growth for the company this year.

In addition to these advancements in the business sectors, Wudang has directed its efforts towards benefiting residents by developing digital applications to shift more government services online.

What's more, the district now has 2,791 5G base stations, laying a solid foundation for the development of its economy and society.
