BEIJING, Aug. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — A news report from China Daily:
From the Gobi to the cloud
Once constrained by the droughts in Xihaigu, the relocated residents of Minning township in the Ningxia Hui autonomous region have reshaped their destiny. This large-scale relocation, initiated in 1997 under the Fujian–Ningxia pairing-off cooperation framework led by Xi Jinping, transformed access to Yellow River water into a catalyst for prosperity.
Today, powered by abundant green energy and advanced computing infrastructure, Minning is rapidly emerging as a new frontier of the digital economy, marking its evolution from a barren Gobi landscape into a “cloud-based” digital hub.
