China maintained its position as the world’s second-largest cloud services market amid record spending of US$4.3bil (RM17.91bil) in the second quarter, fuelled by increased demand for online services during the Covid-19 pandemic and government stimulus measures, according to a report.

That marked a 70% increase from a year ago, led by domestic cloud infrastructure services spending on Alibaba Cloud, according to research firm Canalys in a report on Sept 9.
