Tech in China has improved by leaps and bounds, and its cloud computing industry has been seeing a boom. Experts at the 10th China Cloud Computing Conference in Beijing are there to talk about the innovative development, as well as key concerns. Chuck Tinte has more.

From working to studying to shopping, cloud computing is everywhere. It is already embedded into people's daily lives.

WEI WEI GENERAL MANAGER OF INTERNET BUSINESS DIVISION TENCENT CLOUD COMPUTING "Cloud computing works a lot like the human brain. It stores all the data you've amassed throughout your life. When you are shopping online, the website recommends products to you based on your website-viewing history. This is cloud computing, which will analyze your consumer behavior according to the storage data."

As companies continue to digitize their business data and internal systems, China's cloud technology industry is expected to grow to 103 billion US dollars by 2020. The growing demand has led to foreign IT companies rolling out new cloud services for Chinese consumers and businesses.

The cloud is a platform where all data gets stored. But the issue of safeguarding the data is an equally important issue to nearly all users.

ALAIN CROZIER VICE PRESIDENT AND CEO, MICROSOFT GREATER CHINA REGION "We will continue to develop security. Because security is fundamental for customers to trust the cloud, trust the cloud technologies."

The cloud computing market is expanding rapidly worldwide. China's cloud computing industry has experienced robust growth in recent years. But how this booming market can survive in such an intense business environment is worth considering. CGTN, Chuck Tinte, Beijing.
