Make China’s digital economy stronger and better.
Make China’s digital economy stronger and better.※
Supreme leader
In recent years, Internet, big data, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, blockchain and other technologies have accelerated innovation, and are increasingly integrated into the whole process of economic and social development. Countries are competing to formulate digital economy development strategies and introduce incentive policies. The digital economy is developing rapidly, radiating widely and influencing deeply, and is becoming a key force to reorganize global factor resources, reshape the global economic structure and change the global competition pattern.
For a long time, I have always attached importance to developing digital technology and digital economy. In 2000, when I was working in Fujian, I proposed to build "Digital Fujian", and in 2003, when I was working in Zhejiang, I also proposed to build "Digital Zhejiang". Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, I have repeatedly stressed the need to develop the digital economy. In 2016, during the thirty-sixth collective study in the 18th the Political Bureau of the Central Committee, it was emphasized to enlarge and strengthen the digital economy and expand new space for economic development. In the same year, the initiative of developing digital economy was first put forward at the summit of G 20 leaders in Hangzhou, which was widely recognized by leaders and entrepreneurs of various countries. In 2017, during the second collective study in the 19th the Political Bureau of the Central Committee, it was emphasized to speed up the construction of digital China, build a digital economy with data as the key element, and promote the integrated development of the real economy and the digital economy; In 2018, at the Central Economic Work Conference, it was emphasized to accelerate the construction of new infrastructure such as 5G, artificial intelligence and industrial Internet; In 2021, he sent a congratulatory letter to Wuzhen Summit in world internet conference, pointing out that it is necessary to stimulate the vitality of digital economy, enhance the efficiency of digital government, optimize the digital social environment, build a digital cooperation pattern, and build a digital security barrier, so that digital civilization can benefit people of all countries.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee has attached great importance to the development of digital economy and raised it to a national strategy. The Fifth Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee proposed to implement the strategy of strengthening the country by network and the national big data strategy, expand the space of network economy, promote the integrated development of Internet and economy and society, and support all kinds of innovations based on Internet. The 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposed to promote the deep integration of Internet, big data, artificial intelligence and real economy, and build a digital China and a smart society. The Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee proposed to develop digital economy, promote digital industrialization and industrial digitalization, promote the deep integration of digital economy and real economy, and build a digital industrial cluster with international competitiveness. We have issued the Outline for the Implementation of Network Power Strategy and the Outline for the Development of Digital Economy to promote the development of digital economy at the national level. Over the years, China’s digital economy has developed rapidly and made remarkable achievements. According to the data of the 2021 Global Digital Economy Conference, China’s digital economy has been ranked second in the world for many years. Especially since the outbreak of COVID-19 epidemic, digital technology and digital economy have played an important role in supporting the fight against COVID-19 epidemic and restoring production and life.

同时，我们要看到，同世界数字经济大国、强国相比，我国数字经济大而不强、快而不优。还要看到，我国数字经济在快速发展中也出现了一些不健康、不规范的苗头和趋势，这些问题不仅影响数字经济健康发展，而且违反法律法规、对国家经济金融安全构成威胁，必须坚决纠正和治理。
Comprehensive judgment shows that the development of digital economy is of great significance, and it is a strategic choice to grasp the new opportunities of the new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation. First, the healthy development of the digital economy is conducive to promoting the construction of a new development pattern. The important task of building a new development pattern is to enhance the kinetic energy of economic development and smooth the economic cycle. Digital technology and digital economy can promote the rapid flow of various resource elements, accelerate the integration of various market players, help market players reconstruct organizational models, achieve cross-border development, break time and space restrictions, extend industrial chains, and smooth the economic cycle at home and abroad. Second, the healthy development of the digital economy is conducive to promoting the construction of a modern economic system. As a new production factor, data has a great influence on the transformation of traditional production methods. Digital economy has high innovation, strong permeability and wide coverage. It is not only a new economic growth point, but also a fulcrum for transforming and upgrading traditional industries, and can become an important engine for building a modern economic system. Third, the healthy development of the digital economy is conducive to promoting the construction of new national competitive advantages. In today’s era, digital technology and digital economy are the opportunities for the world’s scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, and are the key areas of a new round of international competition. We must seize the opportunities and seize the commanding heights of future development.

Facing the future, we should stand at the height of coordinating the overall situation of the great rejuvenation strategy of the Chinese nation and the unprecedented changes in the world in the past century, coordinate the two major domestic and international situations and develop security, give full play to the advantages of massive data and rich application scenarios, promote the deep integration of digital technology and the real economy, empower the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries, give birth to new industries, new formats and new models, and constantly make China’s digital economy stronger and better.
First, strengthen key core technology research.It is necessary to grasp the independent innovation of digital key core technologies, give full play to the advantages of China’s socialist system, new national system and super-large-scale market, improve the basic research and development capabilities of digital technologies, fight hard for key core technologies, achieve high-level self-reliance as soon as possible, and firmly grasp the autonomy of developing digital economy in their own hands.
Second, speed up the construction of new infrastructure.It is necessary to strengthen the strategic layout, speed up the construction of high-speed ubiquitous, integrated heaven and earth, cloud network integration, smart and agile, green and low-carbon, safe and controllable intelligent comprehensive digital information infrastructure based on 5G network, national integrated data center system and national industrial Internet, and open up the information "artery" of economic and social development.

It is necessary to promote the deep integration of the Internet, big data and artificial intelligence with the industry, and accelerate the cultivation of a number of "specialized and innovative" enterprises and single champion enterprises in manufacturing. Of course, we should be down-to-earth and adapt ourselves to the needs of enterprises, and we should not digitize for the sake of digitization.
