Question

Cyber port, a high-technology industrial park, is being built up on model of Silicon Valley in

• A. Bangalore
• B. Hyderabad
• C. Beijing
• D. Hong Kong

Hint:

Think of the Chinese government project explicitly promoted at the time as the country's answer to Silicon Valley.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Understanding the Question:
We are asked to name the city where a big cyber and technology park was being built during this period, explicitly modeled on the American Silicon Valley.

Step 2: Key Approach:
Several Asian cities built technology parks around this time, so we match the specific description, a large, government backed cyber park built on the Silicon Valley model, to the right city.

Step 3: Detailed Explanation:
China's government built up the Zhongguancun area of Beijing into a major high technology and cyber industrial zone through the 1990s and early 2000s, and it was consistently described in the press of that period as China's answer to Silicon Valley, drawing thousands of technology and software firms into one science park.
Bangalore and Hyderabad are certainly India's own major information technology hubs, but neither grew as one formally named cyber park project built on the Silicon Valley model, so options (1) and (2) do not fit the specific description in the question.
Hong Kong is a major finance and business centre, but the specific cyber park explicitly built on the Silicon Valley model that this question refers to is the Beijing development described above.

Step 4: Final Answer:
The cyber port modeled on Silicon Valley is being built in Beijing.
