BEIJING, April 20, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The 2021 Boao
Forum for Asia(BFA) kicked off in
Boao, a coastal resort in South
China's Hainan Province on
April 20th, with the theme of "A
World in Change: Join Hands to Strengthen Global Governance and
Advance Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) Cooperation". It has also

Alex Ju, Founder and CEO of
Chindata Group (NASDAQ: CD), the
only carrier-neutral digital infrastructure platform in the
Asia-Pacific region, was invited
to attend the annual conference of Boao Forum for Asia (BFA).
At a session titled "Building up New Infrastructure with Digital
Silk Road", he shared his thoughts on how to give full play to the
cross-cultural, cross-regional and cross-industrial advantages as
an international company and how to advance its strategic layout in
the regions influenced by RCEP pact. He believed that this strategy
will not only empower the leading tech companies with evolving
digital infrastructure but also make its contribution for people in
this region to equally enjoy the benefits of digital
transformation.
Mr.Ju said that the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership
(RCEP) can accelerate the Belt and Road initiative to achieve a
five-way progress in policy communication, infrastructure
connectivity, trade facilitation, capital flow, and
people-to-people exchanges. In the digital age, as digitization
levels of the five-way progress are getting higher and higher,
there are rising requirements for the interconnection of digital
infrastructure. To better support the rapid development of digital
economy, the digital infrastructure planning and construction needs
to implement as quickly as it could as the preparing period usually
takes one or two years.
By the end of the fourth quarter of 2020, Chindata Group had a
total of 489 IT MW capacity in service and under construction,
focusing in China, Malaysia, India and other Asia-Pacific countries. Chindata Group
received over 40 IT MW of indication of interest (IOI) orders for
its Southeast Asia facilities from
anchor tenants in the fourth quarter of 2020. The leading cloud
service providers expanded their cooperation with Chindata Group to
include contracts for an additional 16.35 IT MW in Malaysia and an additional 10 IT MW in
India.
Facing the impact of coronavirus in 2020, Chindata Group was the
only digital infrastructure operator in the world that could
delivers services on schedule to its top global cloud companies,
strongly supporting their business development in the countries
RCEP includes and helping them promote the local digital economy
too. "There is no shortcut to building the Digital Silk Road. Only
by deeply participating in this industry and upholding the role of
a supporter can we truly deliver the contribution to the
sustainable development of the local country's digital economy
industry." Mr. Ju said.
On the sidelines of the Boao Forum for Asia, Mr. Ju also met with Mr. Djauhari
Oratmangun, Ambassador of the Republic of Indonesia to the People's Republic and envoys
and counselors of many other member countries related to RCEP. They
exchanged in-depth views on topics such as Chindata Group's
business plan in RCEP-related countries and the role of RCEP in
promoting digital infrastructure.
