Promote China'S Economy To Run Faster

The digital economy is surging. From "promoting the accelerated growth of the digital economy" in 2017, to "vigorously developing the digital economy" in 2023, and then to "promoting the innovative development of the digital economy in depth" this year, every advancement of the "digital economy" in the government work report conveys the message Unswerving determination and confidence in developing the digital economy.

This confidence comes from the outstanding performance of the digital economy. In the past ten years, the scale of my country's digital economy has grown rapidly from 16.2 trillion yuan in 2014 to approximately 56.1 trillion yuan in 2023, and the proportion of GDP has also increased from 25.1% to about 44%. It can be said that the role of the digital economy as a "stabilizer" and "accelerator" of the national economy has become more prominent.

At present, my country's digital economy has entered a period of comprehensive expansion. Especially after data becomes a new factor of production, it is expected to further stimulate the multiplier effect of the digital economy. In light of development realities, this year's government work report clearly puts forward the requirements of "deeply promoting the innovative development of the digital economy", including building an internationally competitive digital industry cluster, vigorously promoting the openness and circulation of data development, and accelerating the formation of a national integrated computing power system. Comprehensive deployment has been made in all aspects, pointing out the target path for the high-quality development of the digital economy.

Digital industry clusters are one of the important carriers for cultivating and strengthening new productive forces. They have significant characteristics such as spatial agglomeration, resource sharing, platform collaboration, and efficient management. They are the main trend in the development of the digital industry in the future. The process of building an internationally competitive digital industry cluster is actually a process of solving the "stuck" problem of key technologies and breaking through digital technology barriers. By deepening the research and development applications of big data, artificial intelligence, etc., we will empower the digital transformation of thousands of industries and form a group of competitive "chain owner" companies, driving upstream and downstream companies in the industrial chain to form a "flying geese" development pattern, and build a closer An industrial chain ecology will inject more innovative power into the development of new productive forces.

Data is a new factor of production and a national strategic resource. Promoting the deep integration of digital technology and the real economy is inseparable from the development, openness, circulation and use of data. At present, my country's data element market is still in its infancy, and there is an urgent need to fill in the institutional shortcomings in data property rights, data transactions and circulation. At the same time, it is necessary to accelerate the construction of a data governance system that is compatible with the development of the digital economy, use laws to protect the orderly flow and efficient use of data elements, and by exploring the potential value of data elements, promote the transformation of data assets into data value and accelerate the realization of data elements. Transformation into real productivity.

Computing power is a new type of productivity in the digital economy era, and the computing power network is the key infrastructure that supports the high-quality development of the digital economy. This year's government work report proposed for the first time a "national integrated computing power system" to plan the digital economic base from a "chess game" at the national level, which will help to better play the driving role of computing power. At present, our country has laid out and constructed national hub nodes of the national integrated computing power network in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, Yangtze River Delta and other regions, and has made positive progress in the construction of computing power infrastructure. In the next step, efforts should be made to further create an independent and controllable computing power service ecosystem and build an independent and self-reliant digital technology innovation system to provide strong support for the development of the digital economy.

Deeply promoting the innovative development of the digital economy is a systematic project and a process that must be persisted for a long time. The future development of the digital economy needs to further build consensus, take into account both the present and the long-term, strive to seize new opportunities and create new advantages on the new track, and use high-quality digital economic development to help China's economy accelerate its "digital" run.
