en.Wedoany.com Reported - On June 9, the General Office of the Hainan Provincial People's Government issued the "Hainan Province '15th Five-Year Plan' for High-Tech Industry Development," proposing to leverage the institutional advantages of the Hainan Free Trade Port for secure and orderly cross-border data flow. It plans to build cross-border data infrastructure such as international submarine cables and international communication gateway exchanges, support the construction of an international intelligent computing center, develop offshore data businesses, and explore a new model for Token export services.
This plan advances cross-border data, artificial intelligence, and digital content export along the same industrial chain. Hainan will build foundational capabilities for the integration of cross-border data and AI industries, including international communication channels, cross-border data processing scenarios, sovereign large model R&D and application, AI algorithm training, vertical high-quality dataset construction, and offshore data services. For the free trade port, cross-border data infrastructure involves not only submarine cables and communication gateway exchanges but also compliant data flow, computing resource scheduling, overseas scenario services, industry data authorization, and enterprise overseas expansion business support. The plan proposes a "new model for Token export services," indicating Hainan's intention to connect large model inference, content generation, algorithm services, and overseas AI application demands, making Token—a fundamental unit of measurement and service in the AI era—a new business form in digital trade.
The plan also proposes accelerating digital content export, using game export as a starting point to promote the integrated innovation of "AIGC + digital content."
This arrangement aligns Hainan's AI industry layout more closely with practical business scenarios. Games, animation, short dramas, cross-border livestream e-commerce, and multilingual content operations all require high-frequency creation, rapid iteration, multi-region distribution, and multilingual adaptation, making them suitable for introducing AIGC, virtual anchors, real-time multilingual translation, intelligent product selection recommendations, and automated operation tools. Hainan plans to attract and cultivate full-chain service providers for content creation, version iteration, event operations, and market distribution, improve the "anchor incubation - product selection matching - traffic operations - cross-border fulfillment" service system, and optimize the functions of Hainan's EF accounts to serve the construction of the China (Hainan) Cross-border E-commerce Comprehensive Pilot Zone. Thus, AI will no longer exist solely as a standalone technology industry but will be embedded in business chains such as content production, cross-border e-commerce, game publishing, overseas distribution, and digital fulfillment, forming a service loop that is easier to implement.
"Inbound data processing" is another key pathway in the plan. Hainan will support the construction of specialized digital processing trade zones, promote technologies such as AI-assisted annotation and super agents, and enhance the efficiency of cross-border data processing. To meet overseas AI scenario demands, enterprises can leverage the cross-border data mechanism of the Hainan Free Trade Port to expand businesses such as sovereign large model R&D and application, AI algorithm training, and vertical dataset construction. Industry data trust spaces for the automotive sector, cross-border data services for intelligent connected vehicles, and the Wenchang International Aerospace City International Satellite Data Processing Trade Zone are also included in industry-specific cross-border data application scenarios. High-resolution satellite remote sensing data, in particular, features strong international application demand, high scenario value, and a long data processing chain. When combined with Wenchang's aerospace industry and cross-border data channels, it can help expand satellite data processing from simple image processing to agriculture, oceans, disaster monitoring, urban management, and international commercial services.
From the perspective of the information and communication industry, the focus of Hainan's plan is to combine communication infrastructure, computing infrastructure, institutional advantages in data, and capabilities for application export. An international intelligent computing center requires stable cross-border networks, green computing resources, secure and compliant mechanisms, and the ability to serve overseas clients; offshore data businesses require clear data flow boundaries, review mechanisms, and business models; Token export requires support from model service platforms, billing systems, overseas application interfaces, and content compliance capabilities. If Hainan can institutionalize, platformize, and industrialize these elements, it will have the opportunity to establish a differentiated position in China's digital trade, cross-border AI services, and international data processing.
Subsequent priorities will focus on the construction progress of international submarine cables and communication gateway exchanges, the operating entities of the international intelligent computing center, the pilot scope of offshore data businesses, the compliance boundaries of Token export services, and the landing status of first-batch enterprises in scenarios such as games, short dramas, satellite remote sensing, automotive data, and cross-border livestream e-commerce. As AI applications move from the domestic market to global services, the cross-border data mechanism of the Hainan Free Trade Port may become an important experimental platform for enterprises to conduct AI export, content export, and data processing trade.
