Launch of online data platform

An online big data platform for public welfare events was launched in early July by Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba Group Holding Ltd, together with about 100 major media in China. The platform will provide dynamic data about the number of attendees of community events, usage of charitable funds and the causes which gained the most attention in different provinces. This will help construct a more intelligent and efficient charity system through analysis and prediction of future trends.
