Why is it important?
China’s government and private enterprises are investing heavily in cloud computing, and China shows exceptional promise in this area. However, sustained success will require addressing three main barriers. They are: (i) the Great Firewall, (ii) privacy concerns, and (iii) insufficient infrastructure. Besides, we forewarn that a cloud bubble is unavoidable.
Perspectives
China needs to refine the regulations to meet the required needs of the market, institute an effective and impartial regulation regime, control costs at the market rate, and improve competition.
