Asian Tech Press (Sep 3) -- The State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of People's Government of Tianjin Municipality (Tianjin SASAC) has withdrawn the document related to state-run clouds that raised concerns last week, Chinese financial media outlet National Business Daily (NBD) reported Friday.

According to the report, it was exclusively learned from insiders of two cloud computing companies that Tianjin SASAC has withdrawn the document titled "Implementation Plan on Accelerating Cloud Migration for State-owned Enterprises and Improving the Construction of State-owned Cloud System", and made it clear that state-owned enterprises will not make mandatory and exclusive restrictions when choosing cloud services.

A NBD reporter called Tianjin SASAC this afternoon, but no one answered as of press time.

Last week, a document on Tianjin's state-run cloud platform was hotly debated in the industry, and it requires local state-owned enterprises to limit the use of specific cloud services, excluding Huawei Cloud, Alibaba Cloud, Tencent Cloud, Wo Cloud, China Telecom Cloud, China Mobile Cloud, etc.

This local policy excludes not only private companies such as Alibaba Cloud, but also China Telecom Cloud and China Mobile Cloud, which are cloud computing vendors operated by centrally-administered state-owned enterprises, triggering doubts from the outside world.
