China has unique political advantages, significant institutional advantages, ultra-large-scale market advantages, complete industrial system advantages, massive data resource advantages and human resource advantages, which can form a strong synergy to accelerate the construction of digital China
In Tianjin Binhai New Area, greenhouse tomatoes have sensors, precision irrigation equipment is connected to the smart agriculture cloud platform, tomatoes taste better and yield is improved; In Dayun Town, Jiashan County, Zhejiang Province, villagers sit in the "cloud consultation room" of the health center, with a mouse click, doctors from third-class hospitals can receive treatment online, and high-quality health resources are shared between urban and rural areas; In Nanning, Guangxi, the digital government integration platform allows data to run errands for the masses, and the work links of enterprises and ordinary people have been reduced by more than 80%... Today, the bits and pieces of changes promoted by the construction of digital China are converging into a torrent of the times that profoundly changes the face of Chinese's production and life.
Building a digital China is an important engine for promoting Chinese-style modernization in the digital era and a strong support for building new national competitive advantages. Not long ago, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council issued the Overall Layout Plan for the Construction of Digital China (hereinafter referred to as the Plan), which describes the phased goals of digital China construction by 2025 and 2035, and points out the way forward and method for the construction of digital China. Implementing the goals and tasks put forward in the Plan will comprehensively improve the integrity, systematization and coordination of the construction of digital China, promote the deep integration of the digital economy and the real economy, drive the reform of production, life and governance with digitalization, and inject strong impetus into the comprehensive promotion of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese-style modernization.
Looking back on the past ten years, from "3G breakthrough" and "4G synchronization" to "5G leadership", digital infrastructure has achieved leapfrog development. The scale of China's digital economy has increased from 11 trillion yuan to more than 45 trillion yuan, and digital transformation in various fields has accelerated. "Palm office" and "fingertip office" have become the standard configuration of government services in various places, and the efficiency of digital government governance services has been significantly improved. The world's largest online education platform and a unified national medical insurance information platform have been built, and the popularization of digital convenience services has been accelerated... Since the <>th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core has systematically planned and coordinated the construction of a network power, digital China and a smart society, and made remarkable achievements in the construction of digital China. The continuous consolidation of the "digital foundation", the continuous enrichment of data resources, and the increasingly perfect data security have made the "information artery" of economic and social development surging, played an important role in promoting the construction of a new development pattern and a modern economic system, and laid a solid foundation for further promoting the construction of digital China.
Some international observers believe that China "can lead the next wave of global change", because "a large number of infrastructure construction, transportation and logistics, new energy promotion, digital ecological Internet construction, etc. required to meet the change are not completed by individual companies alone, and national power plays a very important role", in this regard, China has "indispensable advantages". China has unique political advantages and significant institutional advantages, and can carry out top-level design across regions, departments and industries, providing a strong digital infrastructure for the construction of digital China. China has the advantages of ultra-large-scale market and complete industrial system, whether it is consumer Internet or industrial Internet, it can find rich application scenarios and solid upstream and downstream support, which is conducive to diluting investment costs; China has the advantages of massive data resources and human resources, the largest number of Internet users and the total number of R&D personnel in the world, and huge potential for data mining and data development. By giving full play to these advantages, we can form a strong synergy to accelerate the construction of digital China.
The construction of digital China is related to the overall development of the country. In today's era, digital technology and digital economy, as the leading forces of the world's scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, are increasingly integrated into the whole process of economic and social development, and are becoming the key forces in reorganizing global factor resources, reshaping the global economic structure, and changing the global competition pattern. China has a lot to do to seize the opportunity of a new round of international competition and seize the commanding heights of future development. According to the requirements of the Plan, consolidate the "two foundations" of digital infrastructure and data resource system, promote the deep integration of digital technology with the construction of economic, political, cultural, social and ecological civilization, strengthen the "two capabilities" of digital technology innovation system and digital security barrier, and optimize the "two environments" of domestic and international digital development, the construction of digital China will reach a higher level, and the network power will gradually approach.
Riding with the wave of digitalization, China has full confidence and ability to ride the waves and stand tall. Firmly grasping the historical opportunity, firmly grasping the historical initiative, and striving to create new advantages for development, the construction of digital China will surely continue to make new achievements, and will certainly provide stronger support for the comprehensive construction of a modern socialist country.
