The new coronavirus pneumonia epidemic has become a catalyst for the digital economy.
Recently, the Politburo Standing Committee meeting proposed the task of accelerating the construction of new infrastructure such as 5G networks and data centers. Since April, various governments have issued investment plans for new infrastructure projects in 2020, promoting post-epidemic economic recovery,
digital transformation of traditional industries, and digital economic development. On May 13th, the National Development and Reform Commission and the Central Cyberspace Administration and other departments jointly launched the "Digital Transformation Partnership Action (2020)" initiative, encouraging the government and all sectors of society to work together to promote the digital transformation of small, medium and micro enterprises, and deepen inclusiveness. "Intelligence" to stimulate the endogenous power of enterprise digital transformation. At present, the digital economy is placed with greater expectations and is becoming an important support for the high-quality and sustainable development of China's economy.
During the anti-coronavirus period, "data" has fully emerged as the core position of the new infrastructure. It can be said that "cloud" services are almost ubiquitous, and new services such as telecommuting, online education, and Internet medical treatment have also changed from the original options to the current mandatory options. Big data, artificial intelligence, cloud computing and other digital technologies are also playing an important role in the
anti-coronavirus, from the health monitoring of mobile personnel, to the analysis of
the new coronavirus pneumonia epidemic situation, to the distribution of robots and the rapid screening of infrared human body temperature, etc. Understanding of the digital economy.
Currently, China's
digital economy accounts for 30% of GDP, and its growth rate far exceeds the GDP growth rate, with about 200 million employees, and it plays a decisive role in the national economy. The digital economy is becoming a new engine driving economic growth and absorbing employment. Digital infrastructure is the infrastructure of the digital economy, which can directly broaden the breadth of the digital economy, tap the depth of the digital economy, extend the length of the digital economy, and drive the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries. In recent years, the digitalization of the real economy and the physicalization of digital technology have complemented each other and promoted each other, which is forming a new advantage in China's economic development. As an important part of the "new infrastructure" and the infrastructure of the digital economy, the rapid development of digital infrastructure will surely provide solid support for enhancing the competitiveness of SMEs, unleashing the consumption potential of residents, and cultivating new momentum for economic development.
China's digital is developing rapidly, but it also faces many problems and challenges that need to be solved urgently. First, the digitization of the entire industry chain needs to be strengthened. The digital economy is accompanied by the rise and development of the consumer Internet. At present, the overall
digital transformation of enterprises shows the characteristics of "partial consumer side", that is, "partial backend of the industrial chain". Enterprises spontaneously act and fight each other. Faced with bottlenecks, the digital industry chain is incomplete, and there are still many difficulties and pain points in the smooth economic cycle.
Second, information security risks are on the rise. In the post-epidemic era, the entire society is restructuring at full speed, and the interconnection of all things and “all online” have become the new normal in the era of digital economy. High-risk vulnerabilities, cyber attacks are increasing, infrastructure is facing threats, and the financial and energy industries have become the hardest hit areas. Various cyber crimes and attacks have caused significant losses to market players and economic development. What is more serious is that, due to
the new coronavirus pneumonia epidemic situation and the influence of the United States on China's scientific and technological constraints, it is particularly urgent to develop a safe and controllable Xinchuang system.
Finally, there is a lack of digitally innovative talents. Not only the lack of traditional technical elites such as IT engineers, data scientists, data analysts, AI algorithm engineers, product managers, but also the lack of cross-industry, cross-platform composite talents. The lagging laws and regulations and the lagging governance system have also constrained the development of the digital economy. Especially in the field of data property rights, the boundaries of the relevant subjects ’responsibilities and powers are unclear and it is difficult to obtain legal protection.
We have some work to be urgently carried out to cope with the shortage. First, accelerate the construction of
digital infrastructure and lay a solid foundation for the development of the digital economy. In the era of the digital economy, every click on the Internet involves a large number of data calls, generating massive amounts of data, and it is urgent to expand the construction of the data center. The data center is a computing power infrastructure based on the evolution of a new generation of information technology. It accelerates the construction of the world's leading cloud computing data center, seizes the commanding heights of future development, seizes the historical opportunities of leapfrog development in the digital age, and leads China to achieve comprehensive catch-up.
The second is to build an industrial digital platform and develop an industrial Internet. Use emerging data technology applications such as big data, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and the Internet of Things as means to upgrade business models and product services, and achieve intelligent, platform, and brand development; based on emerging information technology applications, promote economic activities The transformation from offline to online, to achieve seamless connection and coordination between upstream and downstream industries, and to force supply-side structural reforms; vigorously develop industrial Internet platforms to achieve seamless connection between consumers and producers and promote the industrial chain Integration and value chain optimization to develop advanced manufacturing.
The third is to perfect the network governance system and optimize the development environment of the digital economy. The deep integration of
digital technology and the real economy has spawned some unfair competition behaviors, resulting in frequent occurrences of cybercrime and privacy violations such as fraud, pyramid schemes, and illegal fund raising. It is necessary to establish and improve the supervision system, clarify the responsibilities of the network platform, clarify the government and enterprise governance rights and responsibilities, and regulate the behavior of the relevant subjects. Strengthen policy guidance and innovate policy support. Establish a systematic risk prevention mechanism and risk monitoring, early warning, and disposal system to detect potential risks in a timely manner and improve risk control capabilities.
Fourth, cultivate digital talents and improve the digital quality of the whole people. Accelerate the construction of disciplines for the digital economy, develop new majors in the digital field, promote the cross-integration of computer science, data analysis and other professional disciplines, and expand the scale of training digital talents such as the Internet, the Internet of Things, big data, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence. Strengthen the universal training of digital skills for all citizens.
