Shining star of the tech that transforms

Guizhou province - oh, what a transformation it has witnessed! Technology can truly transform an economy in a short time indeed.

There was a time when the southwestern province evoked mental images of a remote, less-developed area - home to verdant mountains, ethnic minorities, and, wait for it, poverty. Not any more.

I first set foot in Guizhou's capital city Guiyang last May to cover the 2017 China International Big Data Expo.
