Film, entertainment, catering, tourism, clothing and apparel industries, which are more affected by the epidemic, are also moving closer to the digital economy, relying on live video and e-commerce applications to ease business pressure. Relying on big data, cloud computing and other technologies based on precise prevention and control of epidemics, physical enterprises, transportation and logistics enterprises and other enterprises accelerate the pace of resumption and production. The tremendous power of the digital economy has played an important role in China's fight against the epidemic and the orderly resumption of work and production, and has become an important practice for the Chinese economy in responding to the epidemic.

The average turnover of existing merchants who received support increased by more than 80%; Qingdao passed the 5G network With the cloud video system, completed 12 key projects "online signing"; Hangzhou "Hangxiang Future" high-level talent cloud employment online for more than 2 hours, nearly 58,000 people browsed, nearly 10,000 people submitted resumes. In the epidemic, the digital economy has intuitively demonstrated the tremendous benefits brought by the deep integration of information technology and digital transformation, and has shaped people's new production and consumption habits.
The digital transformation of the world economy is a big trend and a big proposition. Nowadays, as the epidemic spreads and spreads globally, global industries are responding to the impact of the digital economy. Schools in Italy, South Korea, the United Kingdom, and other countries have suspended classes, and students have switched to online learning; Apple, Google, Facebook and other companies require employees to work from home. However, under the epidemic, all four major mobile networks in the UK were paralyzed. Telecom operators in Spain called on people to use the network reasonably, while French operators strengthened the management of Internet bandwidth allocation. These are a wake-up call for the development of the world's digital economy, and they also encourage China to continue to accelerate the development of "new infrastructure" represented by 5G and data centers.

There is reason to believe that after the epidemic, China's digital economy will stimulate more vitality, cultivate more new economic and employment growth points, and inject a steady stream of new momentum for China's economic growth.
