Some information about Taiwan Cloud:
One of Waltonchain's senior advisors, Zhu Yanping, is on the board for the Taiwan Cloud Association and is likely the person who connected TCA to Waltonchain and allowed them to collaborate on the government mandated cross-strait blockchain incubator mentioned earlier in this post. Taiwan Cloud Association in charge of providing policy-making feedback to the government and is comprised of more than 150 ICT companies in Taiwan. According to the China.com article the contract signed between Waltonchain and TCA is entitled "Strategic Cooperation Agreement on Waltonchain Project Marketing".
Members of Taiwan cloud include large local companies but also include names like: Nvidia, Microsoft, IBM, Fujitsu, KPMG, HP Enterprise, PwC. Given that Waltonchain is working with the government and Taiwan Cloud to create the China-Taiwan blockchain industry park as mentioned here, it's not hard to imagine that some of these companies will be involved too.
