China's spending on information
technology (IT) will grow 10 percent year on year to reach over 2.21
trillion yuan (about 346.1 billion U.S. dollars) in 2021, according to
an industrial report. The outbreak of
the COVID-19 epidemic has propelled the upgrade of the internet economy
and promoted the development of tele-medicare and tele-education in the
country, a report released by global market research firm International
Data Corporation (IDC) said. The
Chinese government started implementing its 14th Five-Year Plan this
year, which will drive growth in its spending on IT in the coming years,
the IDC said. The Yangtze River
Delta region, home to the provinces of Zhejiang, Jiangsu and Anhui as
well as Shanghai Municipality, will see their IT spending reach over 518
billion yuan in 2021, the data showed.
