Focus on the Two Sessions: GBase Sails Ahead in China’s Homegrown Database Wave

On March 5, the Fourth Session of the 14th National People’s Congress (NPC) opened. Premier Li Qiang delivered the Government Work Report, outlining the overall deployment of government tasks for 2026. Centering on buzzwords from the Two Sessions such as ‘technological innovation,’ ‘high-level self-reliance in science and technology,’ ‘AI Plus,’ and ‘new quality productive forces,’GBase, a leading provider of homegrown databases, remains steadfast in its commitment to proprietary innovation in response to national strategies.

Solidifying Code Foundations, Advancing Self-Reliance in Science and Technology

The Government Work Report calls for accelerating high-level self-reliance in science and technology and strengthening original innovation and breakthroughs in core technologies. During his inspection of the National IT Application Innovation Park, President Xi Jinping emphasized: ‘The key to building a modern socialist country lies in self-reliance in science and technology.’

Only by firmly seizing control of our development can we remain invincible in the global digital wave. With over two decades of deep expertise, GBase has built a full-stack data product portfolio and service solutions that cover the entire data management lifecycle, including analytical, transactional, distributed transactional, and cloud-native data warehouse databases, providing a solid foundation for the security and stability of industrial and supply chains.

Deep Industry Expertise to Empower Traditional Industry Upgrades

The Government Work Report emphasizes optimizing and upgrading traditional industries and continuously improving the quality and upgrading of key sectors. If foundational software is constrained by others, the digital edifice is built on shifting sands.

GBase databases have been deployed at scale in key sectors vital to the national economy and people’s livelihoods, such as finance, power, telecommunications, and healthcare: from large-scale big data platform projects at major state-owned banks to the construction of State Grid’s dispatch model library; from China Mobile’s group data cloud projects to core business systems of urban rail transit; from the Ministry of Finance’s national budget aggregation system to smart healthcare systems at Grade-A tertiary hospitals. GBase has deployed over 100,000 nodes and manages over 500 PB of data, providing 7×24 stable support for critical business operations, safeguarding the digital transformation of traditional industries with proprietary technology.

Embracing the AI Era, Building a New Data Foundation for the Intelligent Economy

The Government Work Report calls for deepening and expanding ‘AI Plus’ to create new forms of the intelligent economy. The explosion of AI poses new challenges to data infrastructure: large models require massive multimodal data support, and traditional databases struggle with processing vast amounts of unstructured data and real-time vector retrieval.

In response to this transformative wave, GBase, with over two decades of database expertise, presents its answer.

To meet the higher data demands of AI, GBase has proactively laid out three major technology directions: data lakehouse, vector databases, and AI-native. The data lakehouse integrates the flexibility of a data lake with the robust management capabilities of a data warehouse, providing a unified, trusted data source for AI training. At the same time, AI capabilities are deeply embedded into the database kernel, using intelligent operations tools to shift databases from passive response to proactive intelligence—health check efficiency has improved from ‘half a day’ to ‘minutes,’ fault analysis has been compressed from hours to minutes, and SQL optimization accuracy has reached over 80%.

From connecting data pipelines to enabling autonomous databases, GBase is answering the call of the ‘AI Plus’ era with robust data infrastructure, serving as the ‘living engine’ driving new forms of the intelligent economy.

Setting Sail Overseas, Empowering the Belt and Road Initiative

The Government Work Report emphasizes further expanding high-level opening up and jointly advancing the Belt and Road Initiative with high quality. In his 2026 New Year address, President Xi Jinping stated: ‘We will continue to embrace the world with open arms.’

Technological self-reliance is our confidence for venturing into the world. To date, GBase database products have been exported to over 50 countries and regions. Across vast lands in Europe, the Americas, Southeast Asia, Africa, and Latin America, GBase databases provide stable, efficient, and sustainable support for local digital infrastructure construction.

Great truths are simple, and action is paramount. On this new journey, GBase will maintain its focus as always, diligently cultivating core technology areas, moving in step with national development and resonating with the tide of the times.
