In the 21st century, as information technology continues to advance, cybersecurity issues have become increasingly prominent. In the age of the internet, building a smart China has emerged as an urgent priority. In 2016, cybersecurity was officially designated as a key area for development under the "13th Five-Year Plan," prompting the rapid introduction of robust supporting policies. Among the government's 100 major construction projects planned for the next five years, information security ranks sixth.
In the 21st century, as information technology continues to advance, cybersecurity issues have become increasingly prominent. In the age of the internet, building a smart China has become an urgent priority. In 2016, cybersecurity was officially designated as a key area for construction under the "13th Five-Year Plan," prompting the rapid rollout of significant supporting policies. Among the government's 100 major construction projects planned for the next five years, information security ranks sixth.
As China's largest state-owned, comprehensive IT enterprise group, China Electronics actively responds to the nation's call by clearly identifying national cybersecurity as the company's key development direction for the future—and is leveraging this focus to launch a series of innovative advancements and strategic industrial deployments.

China Electronics boasts a relatively complete industrial chain, with strong foundational capabilities in areas such as chips, operating systems, databases, application systems, and complete machines. Particularly since launching the "Information Security System Engineering" initiative, the industry has been actively pursuing its development goal of building a national-level information security powerhouse. By consolidating superior resources and maintaining steady investment, affiliated enterprises have focused on key technological areas like self-reliant and controllable technologies, trusted computing, industrial control security, and cloud computing security—collaboratively tackling critical challenges. This approach has enabled the industry to build integrated platforms tailored for priority sectors, significantly enhancing its competitive edge and bolstering the nation's ability to safeguard information security.
Today, China Electronics Corporation has chosen Sanya, China, to establish the Hainan Information Security Base—a national hub for the domestic information security industry. Located in Sanya Haitang Bay, this area represents the last remaining high-quality coastal resource in Sanya. As the government’s flagship project—Project No. 1 of the internationally acclaimed International Tourism Island initiative—it is being meticulously developed with robust support from local authorities. This visionary project is poised to become a world-class international coastal destination worth hundreds of billions of yuan, complete with cutting-edge infrastructure like the环岛高铁 (Ring-Island High-Speed Rail) and extensive highway networks. Surrounding amenities—including municipal facilities, healthcare services, and leisure-and-recreation options—are already fully integrated, making it an irresistible magnet for global capital and opening up countless opportunities and resources from across the globe.

Hainan Information Security Base, spanning a total planned area of 1,200 mu, is centered on the information security industry. Grounded in four key specialized sectors—information security, greater healthcare, military-civilian integration, and financial services—it aims to foster a high-tech information industry cluster. The base aspires to become a vibrant industrial hub characterized by ecological sustainability, energy efficiency, environmental beauty, flexible and comfortable spaces, a coastal resort atmosphere, convenient transportation, and well-developed infrastructure—offering both urban dynamism and an inviting lifestyle.

Meanwhile, fully leverage the expertise of industry, academia, and research institutions within the park across all stages of the information security field. This will foster an integrated industrial chain within the park—spanning standard-setting, talent development, technology R&D, product testing, sales, market expansion, and security services—ultimately shaping a pioneering and replicable model for IT industry development and laying the foundation for an emerging digital city. By establishing stable, dominant industries and building a robust industrial chain system with upstream, midstream, and downstream structures, we aim to create exceptional industrial support and complementary infrastructure. This will enable us to develop a comprehensive project positioning and growth strategy centered on innovation-driven development, underpinned by advanced manufacturing, anchored in a vibrant service economy, and powered by a pool of top-tier talent. Ultimately, our vision is to build an IT micro-city along the nation’s coastline—a cutting-edge industrial incubator and a one-stop hub for IT-driven lifestyles.

Under the development of the Belt and Road Initiative today, coastal information security has become a top priority for Internet growth. As Hainan's Sanya proudly stands at the forefront of China's marine economy, it naturally assumes the critical responsibility of safeguarding information security—working tirelessly to build a secure, international, and cutting-edge platform for information exchange tailored specifically for Chinese enterprises, thereby contributing to the realization of a smart, interconnected China.
