(2020 Service Council) Observation of Service Council: How does the digital economy "escort" new infrastructure?

  China News Service, Beijing, September 7 (Chen Hang) Today, with the rapid development of a new generation of information technology, the digital economy has increasingly become a new model and new driving force for economic development in China and the world.

Ni Guangnan, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, pointed out during the 2020 China International Trade in Services Fair that in the future, new infrastructure construction (hereinafter referred to as new infrastructure) will have a major contribution to the development of the digital economy.

He emphasized that not only must the network security of the new infrastructure be effectively guaranteed, but also the establishment of the new infrastructure must be a huge driving force for the development of China's cyberspace industry.

  “Digital economy is a very hot topic at present, and it is also an important form of driving the development of the world economy.” Liu Mingliang, deputy secretary-general of the Chinese Institute of Electronics, said that the new generation of information technologies such as big data, artificial intelligence, 5G, Internet of Things, and mobile communications are becoming digital. An important driving force for economic development.

  Ni Guangnan enumerated China's unique advantages in the development of the digital economy, including: it has a super-large-scale market advantage, the number of Internet users is the largest in the world, and the number of people exceeds 900 million.

  "China's digital economy is developing rapidly. It currently accounts for about 35% of GDP, and the total amount exceeds 30 trillion yuan (RMB, the same below)." Ni Guangnan believes that the new infrastructure and scale will make a major contribution to the development of the digital economy in the future. Will reach tens of trillions.

  Yin Hao, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, mentioned that the new infrastructure mainly includes three aspects of infrastructure:

  One is information infrastructure.

Infrastructure based on the evolution of a new generation of information technology, including communication network infrastructure represented by 5G, Internet of Things, and Industrial Internet, as well as some new technology infrastructure and computing power infrastructure;

  The second is to converge infrastructure.

The new generation of information technology, including 5G and artificial intelligence, and the empowerment of traditional industries have formed a converged infrastructure.

Such as smart transportation, smart energy;

  The third is innovation infrastructure.

For example, science and education infrastructure, industrial technology innovation infrastructure, etc.

  Ni Guangnan believes that the new infrastructure must connect more users, absorb more data resources, improve the level of industry digitalization and intelligence, and promote major changes in production and lifestyle.

  Regarding the question of how to ensure the security of new infrastructure, Ni Guangnan proposed that the new infrastructure can be incorporated into the track of network security from an institutional perspective, "without network security, there will be no new infrastructure security."

  Ni Guangnan said that the new infrastructure should pay attention to the basic information system, because the monopoly of the information field far exceeds the traditional field.

"We must form our own system. Without our own system, it will be difficult to get rid of the influence of the monopoly system of developed countries, which places higher demands on our development of core technologies."

  "It is necessary to give full play to the institutional advantages of concentrating efforts on major events and the super-large-scale market advantages, and to simultaneously promote network security and informatization." Ni Guangnan emphasized that it is necessary to effectively guarantee the network security of the new infrastructure, and to make the new infrastructure to promote China's Internet information A huge driving force for industrial development.
