The rapid development of the global digital economy provides a new historic opportunity for the economic and trade cooperation between China and the United States.

  "Under the background of the digital economy, the future of digital trade will become a new track." Li Zhijian researched and judged that Sino-US economic and trade cooperation may be reconstructed in this new track.

The United States may become a major exporter in terms of digital standards and content, and China may use its huge market to become the world's largest digital trade consumer in terms of digital trade.

In the future, the bottom, middle, and application layers of the digital economy will divide the industry chain, and the two countries will form cooperation.

  Zhou Jianping hopes that traditional industrial enterprises can carry out more cooperation with the United States in the digital infrastructure industry chain, finance, and green carbon neutrality.

  Participants also noticed that the vigorous development of the digital economy has brought benefits, but it has also brought new problems and challenges to areas such as government governance.

"Everyone hopes that U.S.-China relations will get back on track. The Internet is one of the most important topics. Both U.S. and Chinese Internet companies must pay attention to compliance issues." Reminded by Samuel Thomas Overholt, a senior strategic adviser in the field of government affairs and economics and trade.

  After analyzing the prospects of U.S.-China cooperation from the perspective of government affairs, Ou Yongming pointed out that the high-level exchanges between the U.S. and China will continue to increase. Looking forward to U.S.-China cooperation, U.S.-China economic and trade can be described as "linked to each other" and "win-win cooperation." This is the best way out. Business people in the two countries will also maintain their confidence and expectation.

  Li Xiaodong, founder of Fuxi Think Tank and researcher of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, is concerned about how to build a new mechanism for digital economic and trade cooperation under the new consensus on Sino-US relations.

The coordinated development of China and the United States is a general trend. China has always been committed to maintaining the healthy and stable development of Sino-US relations and is also very keen to promote bilateral economic and trade cooperation. The cooperation between the two parties will not only benefit China and the United States, but will also benefit the world. .
