Liu Liehong: Cultivate and expand a thriving and orderly data market ecosystem with application scenarios as the traction.

On the afternoon of September 20, 2025, the World Manufacturing Industry Conference - Innovation Achievements and New Models and Scenes of the Data Element Comprehensive Test Zone Docking Meeting was held in Hefei, Anhui. Liu Liehong, member of the Party Group of the National Development and Reform Commission and Director of the National Bureau of Statistics, attended the meeting and delivered a speech. Liu Liehong emphasized the need to continuously strengthen the foundation of the integrated data market development based on institutional construction. In the data field, the situation is new and changes rapidly. Only by accumulating experience and summarizing laws in practice can we truly build institutional rules that are in line with the characteristics of data and the actual development. Using application scenarios as a guide, we need to cultivate and strengthen a prosperous and orderly data market ecosystem. The "Data Elements " action should be implemented deeply to attract more entities to invest in market construction. The data market is still in its infancy. We should promote the development of data trading institutions, neither overestimating their functional role nor underestimating the difficulty of construction. We need to rely on infrastructure connectivity to accelerate the removal of barriers to the operation of the integrated data market. The production, circulation, and utilization of data have a strong technological dependence. Data security, compliance, and efficient circulation cannot be separated from the support of data infrastructure. After the meeting, Liu Liehong conducted on-site investigations at the Hefei Jianghuai Frontier Technology Collaborative Innovation Center and Deep Space Detection Laboratory. On September 21, Liu Liehong visited Wuhu City and Anqing City successively, conducting research on Wuhu Cluster Modular Center, China Unicom Yangtze River Delta Intelligent Computing Center, Chery Group Super One Factory, Tongcheng Liu Chi Alley Work Method in Tongcheng City Wen Chang Street Office, "Wendo eHome" Digital Social Governance, and National Automotive Time and Space Technology Co., Ltd.
