China, where all "digits" are advancing, is using a series of numbers to gather the huge kinetic energy of economic development, becoming the core engine of the future industry and an important force for building a new development pattern.
growing in size
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee has attached great importance to the development of the digital economy and elevated it to a national strategy.
It has successively proposed to implement the network power strategy and the national big data strategy, support various innovations based on the Internet; promote the deep integration of the Internet, big data, artificial intelligence and the real economy to build a digital China and a smart society; develop the digital economy and promote digital industrialization and industrial digitization, promote the deep integration of the digital economy and the real economy, and build an internationally competitive digital industry cluster, etc., and have successively issued a series of supporting policies.
The volume of my country's digital economy continues to create a record high.
The scale of the added value of the digital economy has expanded from 2.6 trillion yuan in 2005 to 39.2 trillion yuan in 2020, accounting for 38.6% of the GDP.
Research by the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology shows that in 2020, the scale of the digital economy in 13 provinces exceeded 1 trillion yuan.
Even in 2020, affected by the impact of the new crown pneumonia epidemic and the global economic downturn, my country's digital economy has maintained a high growth rate of 9.7%, becoming the key driving force for my country's stable economic growth.
At the same time, my country's digital infrastructure and user scale are very large. The world's largest optical fiber network has been built, and the number of netizens is the largest in the world.
With the widespread penetration of Internet applications and services, my country has gradually built a new form of digital society: short videos and live broadcasts are becoming a new way of life.
As of December 2021, the number of short video users in my country has reached 934 million, and nearly half of the people in the country watch live broadcasts; shopping methods and dining methods have changed significantly.

Gao Xinmin, a member of the Advisory Committee of the Internet Society of China, said that my country's Internet development presents four characteristics: the formation of the world's largest digital society with the strongest application penetration; rural Internet penetration has further increased, and the gap between urban and rural areas is narrowing; the scale of middle-aged and elderly Internet users has grown the most Fast, universal services are valued; Internet platform operation and data security are strengthened to guide the healthy and orderly development of the Internet industry.
Steady progress in transformation
At present, digital transformation has become the main feature of my country's economic and social innovation and development.
With the popularization of information technology and the continuous development of the Internet, the degree of integration between informatization and the economy and society is deepening. Industry digitization and digital industrialization, digital efficiency and data elementization are becoming the symbolic features of transformation.
At the beginning of 2020, when many manufacturing enterprises were shut down due to the epidemic, with the advantages of smart factories, Senge integrated stoves took the lead in pressing the acceleration button for resumption of work. Product scale, the original production of 1,000 sets of integrated stove side panels required 15 workers and 17 processes, which took 7 days to complete. Now only 2 workers and 5 processes can be completed in 1 day; the fully automatic stamping line can be completed at one time. There are 17 traditional processes, and the work efficiency is more than 30 times that of manual work.
"Through the industrial reform of machine substitution and digitalization, we have realized production automation, informatization, and intelligence. On the one hand, we reduce costs and increase efficiency, reduce the dependence on labor, and greatly improve work efficiency; on the other hand, because automated production replaces The traditional manual work has been realized, the 'contactless' office has been realized, and the risk of the spread of the epidemic has been reduced." said Fei Xulong, Marketing Director of Senge Integrated Stove.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, digital industrialization and industrial digitization have steadily advanced.
On the one hand, the digital industry continues to optimize and upgrade.
In 2020, the scale of my country's digital industrialization will be 7.5 trillion yuan, accounting for 19.1% of the digital economy, and the industrialization and large-scale application of digital technologies will lead the world. On the other hand, industrial digitalization is evolving to a deeper level.
In 2020, the scale of my country's industrial digitalization will be 31.7 trillion yuan, and the penetration rates of the digital economy in agriculture, industry, and service industries will reach 8.9%, 21.0%, and 40.7%, respectively.
Digital technology is penetrating and integrating in deeper and wider fields, and the important role of industrial digitalization in empowering traditional industries and the real economy has been further strengthened.
"Digital technology and the advanced technology of the real economy are closely integrated, thus forming the driving force of the digital economy." Li Yizhong, former minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and chairman of the China Federation of Industrial Economics, said that Internet companies and industrial enterprises should be deeply integrated, and the former should have a deep understanding of the special features of the real economy. It is industrial manufacturing, and the latter should also enhance the initiative of digitalization and intelligence.
Improve service efficiency
Facing the emerging intelligent and digital ecosystem, increasing digital transformation efforts, improving digital governance capabilities, and adapting to changes in social and economic development and the needs of people's life services have become important factors in helping my country's high-quality economic and social development and promoting the modernization of national governance. choose.
Wang Yimin, director of the E-Government Research Center of the Party School of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (National School of Administration), said that in 2021, with the gradual emergence of the construction of a national integrated government service platform with the national government service platform as the main hub, the development of online government services in my country has been transformed by information. The service-based one-way service stage begins to move towards an overall service stage characterized by cross-regional, cross-departmental, and cross-level integrated government services.
The construction of digital government has been accelerated.
For example, development models such as Zhejiang's "running at most once" reform, Jiangsu's "no face-to-face approval (service)" reform, and Shanghai's "one-stop service" reform have effectively solved the problems of the masses and enterprises such as difficulty, slowness, and trouble in handling affairs, driving Internet government affairs The development of services is accelerated from point to point, from shallow to deep.
The ability of integrated government services has been significantly improved.
All provinces and cities are actively exploring, by building a "one network" of government affairs services that are inclusive, equal, convenient, efficient, intelligent and accurate, focusing on the difficulties and difficulties of online affairs and "urgency and hope", and strive to improve the service level and service efficiency. .
At present, there are more than 1 billion real-name users of the national integrated government service platform, with a total usage of 36.82 billion person-times, and the public's satisfaction and sense of gain have been continuously improved.
The effectiveness of the construction of the national government service platform continued to be exerted.
In 2021, the national integrated government service platform will launch the "Corporate Relief Service Area" to promote the precise matching, personalized push, and one-stop processing of the corporate relief policy to enterprises, and form the inquiry and handling of the corporate relief policy. , feedback, and perfect management closed-loop, to promote various types of service services to be easy to handle, so that enterprises can enjoy policies more quickly, conveniently and accurately, and direct service services, which are generally welcomed by enterprises and the public.
In recent years, my country's digital economy has developed rapidly and achieved remarkable results.
However, compared with the world's big and powerful countries in the digital economy, my country's digital economy is big but not strong, fast but not excellent.
"The '14th Five-Year Plan' period is a major strategic opportunity period for my country's social economy to achieve leapfrog development, and digital development needs to be further accelerated at this stage." Wang Zhiqin, vice president of the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology, believes that to create new advantages in the digital economy, it is necessary to start from the Consolidate the foundation, optimize industrial ecological transformation and upgrading, and expand cooperation in consumption to provide strong support for building a new development pattern in which domestic and international dual cycles promote each other.
