The Australian Strategic Policy Institute’s International Cyber Policy Centre updated its digital map of China’s tech industry[1] in November 2019, adding in several new data sets and streamlining the interface. The map displays a wide variety of information, including:
-
“26,000+ data points that have helped to geo-locate 2,500+ points of overseas presence for the 23 companies
-
“447 university and research partnerships, including 195+ Huawei Seeds for the Future university partnerships
-
“115 smart city or public security solution projects, most of which are in Europe, South America and Africa
-
“88 5G relationships in 45 countries
-
“295 surveillance relationships in 96 countries
-
“145 R&D labs, the greatest concentration of which is in Europe
-
“63 undersea cables, 20 leased cables and 49 terrestrial cables
-
“208 data centres and 342 telecommunications and ICT projects spread across the world.”
Each data point is explained with links to more information, which makes for a substantial amount of data available to the public. The data could prove useful to global compliance and supply chain professionals in the electronics industry; the data points can reveal, for example, partnerships and associations that could help companies avoid sanctionable transactions.
