First geographical mapping survey results to be shared

The Chinese government will actively seek to share, promote and apply its first set of national mapping information data through institutions and companies to better serve the public, Kurex Mexsut, deputy head of the National Administration of Surveying, Mapping and Geoinformation, said on Monday.

He made the statement during a State Council news conference in which the results of China's first geographical census were released.

"With the coming of the smart age, survey and mapping results are increasingly used in many areas, not just in the government's crucial development strategy but in the daily lives of the public," he said.
