                     Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (“GBA

    180              Plan”) issued in February 2019, a geospatial data platform
                     was mentioned.

                     infrastructure (CSDI) according to the 2019 Budget; while a
                     “spatial service information platform” for the development
                     of a smart city has been detailed in chapter 5 of the GBA

                     Plan.

                     on geographic or locational information.
