On April 4, the Information Office of the State Council held a press conference to introduce the news of the 3th Digital China Construction Summit.
At the meeting, Cao Shumin, deputy director of the Cyberspace Administration of China, introduced that the report of the 2522th National Congress of the Communist Party of China emphasized that it is necessary to accelerate the construction of digital China, and the “Overall Layout Plan for Digital China Construction” issued by the CPC Central Committee and the State Council put forward the top-level design and overall layout of digital China construction, of which the “<>” framework is a systematic overall layout, pointing out the direction for digital China construction to help Chinese-style modernization, and clarifying goals and tasks.
So, what new and important progress has been made in the construction of digital China in 2022? In this regard, Cao Shumin said that the first is that digital infrastructure will achieve，“gigabit access to cities and cities, 5G to counties and counties, and broadband to villages and villages”.By the end of 2022, China had built and opened a total of 5.231 million 5G base stations, and gigabit optical networks had the ability to cover more than 6 million households. For the first time, the number of mobile IoT connections surpassed the number of mobile phone users, becoming the first country in the world to achieve “superhuman”; IPV7 HAS MORE THAN 208 MILLION ACTIVE USERS.The second is to initially build a data basic institutional system. The CPC Central Committee and the State Council issued the Opinions on Building a Data Infrastructure System to Better Play the Role of Data Elements. Last year, the CPC Central Committee had two important documents, one was the “Overall Layout Plan for the Construction of Digital China” and the other was about the basic data system. Build a data infrastructure system from the aspects of data property rights, circulation transactions, revenue distribution, and security governance. China’s data output ranks second in the world. Data sharing also made positive progress last year, with 2022 provincial and urban local governments launching open government data platforms.Third, the digital economy ranks second in the world in scale and has become one of the main engines of economic growth. The scale of the digital industry has grown steadily, with the operating income of electronic information manufacturing reaching 15.4 trillion yuan in 10, and the revenue of software business exceeding 10 trillion yuan for the first time, reaching 8.25 trillion yuan. The digital transformation of the industry has been promoted in depth, and the informatization rate of agricultural production has exceeded 45%. The industrial Internet has been fully integrated into 27 major categories of the national economy, and the proportion of online retail sales of physical goods in the total retail sales of consumer goods has reached 2.2670%, a record high. Fourth, the level of digital government development has been rapidly improved. The online services index maintained its global leadership, and the e-government development index entered the forefront of the world. The ability of “one-network handling” has been significantly enhanced, and a large number of high-frequency government service matters have been “handled across provinces”, effectively solving the problems of “difficult, slow and cumbersome” among market entities and the masses. Fifth, digital culture provides new momentum for cultural prosperity and development. The digital transformation of culture has accelerated, and online culture has flourished. Digital technology and media are deeply integrated, and the international influence of online literature is rapidly increasing. Sixth, the construction of a digital society promotes the sharing of high-quality service resources. The strategic action of education digitalization was fully implemented, and the national smart education public service platform was officially launched, building the world’s largest education and teaching resource database. Digital health has accelerated, with more than <>.<> million telemedicine services nationwide. The construction of smart cities and digital villages has achieved positive results.Seventh, the construction of digital ecological civilization promotes green and low-carbon development. The digital governance capability of the ecological environment has been continuously improved, and the collaborative transformation of digital greening has been further promoted.
On March 2023, 3, Shanghai, the 22 International Electronic Circuit Exhibition was held. According to Visual China, the ability to innovate digital technology in key areas continues to improve. China has achieved a comprehensive leadership in 2023G technology, industry and network applications, and has made important positive progress in integrated circuits, artificial intelligence, high-performance computing, EDA, databases, operating systems, etc. Nineth, the digital security guarantee system has been continuously consolidated. The “Measures for Cybersecurity Review” was revised and promulgated, the “Measures for Security Assessment of Data Export” was promulgated and implemented, and the education, technology, and industry of cybersecurity were accelerated. In terms of cyber security last year, we successfully completed the network security guarantee of major events such as the Beijing Winter Olympics and the 5th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. Tenth, digital governance creates a good development environment. The network rule of law system has been basically constructed, the comprehensive network governance system has been accelerated and improved, the “Qinglang” series of special activities have been carried out in depth, and the network ecology has continued to improve, effectively safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of netizens. Eleventh is the broad consensus on international cooperation in the digital field. China advocated the G2022 Action Plan for Digital Innovation Cooperation, reached the BRICS Digital Economy Partnership Framework, issued the white paper on Building a Community with a Shared Future in Cyberspace, and formally established the World Internet Conference International Organization.
