CCTV News: With the deepening of the construction of Hainan Free Trade Port, Hainan is currently accelerating the cultivation and expansion of new quality productivity and promoting high-quality development. Since 2025, Hainan's digital economy has developed rapidly, and multiple digital infrastructures and platforms such as the world's first commercial submarine data center project and Hainan Province Data Product Supermarket have been put into use one after another. In Lingshui Haiju Town, the local area has integrated the villa area there and seized the development opportunity. At present, many games have been put on the "going overseas" from here.

The small returnee town in Lingshui Li Autonomous County, Hainan, has vigorously developed the digital economy through industrial transformation. In more than a year, this villa area has been built into a small game industry "going overseas" base with nearly 100 companies moving in and more than 200 creators.

Zhang Yuyan, deputy director of Lingshui International Investment Promotion Bureau, introduced that Lingshui's small game industry has formed a complete industrial chain from investment flow to creativity and then output. The games that come out of here can help them reach Southeast Asia, Russia, Japan, South Korea, the Middle East and other countries (regions) with lower costs and faster Internet speeds. So far, more than 200 games have gone global from here.

In late February, a new data compartment with 18 meters long, 3.6 meters in diameter and can carry more than 400 high-performance servers was placed on the seabed 35 meters below the sea surface. It, together with the world's first commercial submarine data center, built into the Hainan submarine intelligent computing center cluster. At present, the computing power is equivalent to about 30,000 high-end gaming computers operating simultaneously, and the calculation volume of an ordinary computer in one second can be completed in one year.

The company's head Wang Shihua introduced that through monitoring, it can be seen that the data is staying safely on the seabed. Such storage in the submarine intelligent computing center cluster can make full use of the low temperature, high pressure and anaerobic natural environment of the seabed to reduce costs and increase efficiency. Compared with traditional land data centers, the project can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 50,000 tons per year and save more than 30% of electricity.

In the Hainan Province Data Product Supermarket, there is the first data element service platform in the country operated by "government + market". Here, data can flow freely like a commodity.

There are many data products on this screen, covering transportation, agriculture, finance and other aspects. When you click on one of the new data products that have just been launched, you can see some information such as price on its details page. Such a resume verification data product can be applied to corporate recruitment, talent management, etc. It is operated based on data on social security, tax and provident fund. If it is an employer, this data product can use the background check of the key information provided in the job seeker's resume to confirm its authenticity and reduce the risk of corporate recruitment.

While it facilitates users, how to ensure the absolute security of massive information? Data product supermarkets adhere to the prerequisite of "the original data does not leave the domain, and the data is available and invisible" to ensure the integrity and security of data use. When calling data involving personal sensitive information, the user needs to obtain the consent and authorization of the provider, and then obtain and use it after the service provider has anonymized the data, so as to ensure the security and trust of the data between subjects and realize the safe and orderly flow of data across subjects, cross-industry, cross-border and other scenarios.

Some products like this can be added to the shopping cart to make subsequent orders, which is very convenient and fast. As a case of institutional innovation in Hainan Free Trade Port, this model has been promoted in some parts of the country.

Shi Xingru, Operation Director of Hainan Province Data Product Supermarket, introduced that at present, the data product supermarket has gathered public data from 95 government functional departments across the province to build a unified data element service platform. Production and production of data products that meet market demand, and then put them on the shelves of supermarkets. Market entities come to the supermarkets to purchase goods according to their needs. Now, more than 2,500 data products have been listed on the data product supermarket, more than 1,800 companies have registered as members, and the market transaction volume has exceeded 1.1 billion yuan.

Now, Hainan is promoting the coordinated linkage of data centers, cloud platforms and networks, building a "one network" of computing power across the island, and has successively issued a series of policy measures such as the "Hainan Province Three-Year Action Plan for Cultivating Data Element Market" and the "International Data Center Development Regulations", to build a full-chain support system for the development of the data economy and to build an international data hub.

In 2024, the annual output value of Hainan Province's digital economy exceeded 100 billion yuan. Before the end of 2025, an additional 6,100 kilometers of international submarine cable will be added, directly connecting to Southeast Asian countries such as Singapore, Thailand, and the Philippines, further improving the convenience of international network data exchanges. "Strength towards the digital graph", Hainan has gradually built a new highland for data opening and promoted the high-quality development of the free trade port.
