To achieve automation, intelligent transformation, and digitisation in China's digital wave and sustainable development, businesses might need to utilise advanced infrastructure and solutions. As the Chinese government tightens control over data, compliance with data regulations and cross-border data management have emerged as new challenges for corporate digitisation. Digital transformation requires high-speed internet, reliable infrastructure and good computing power, as well as AI technology, relevant operation and maintenance services, and other resources. During this process, enterprises need to consider the local market, regulation, and data assets to generate customised solutions. Proper infrastructure and solutions are key elements for the sustainable development of foreign businesses in China.
