Apple's main supplier Foxconn is planning to build a new processing base in northwest China.
苹果的主要供应商富士康计划将在中国西北部地区建立一座新的生产基地。
The contract electronics maker signed a cooperation deal today, Friday, with a local radio and TV network firm agreeing to establish a base in Lanzhou of Gansu Province.
The new base will focus on the combination of new information technology, including cloudcomputing, and big data.
The deal aims to encourage entrepreneurship and innovation in Gansu, boosting local economic growth.
Earlier in September, Foxconn signed an agreement with Gansu's provincial government pledging to build long-term cooperation.
Taiwan based Foxconn has expanded rapidly with over 30 industrial gardens up and running across China, since it was launched in the Chinese mainland in 1988.
