According to the article, in the past 20 to 25 years, China has made impressive achievements in digitalization, especially in the past five years, Internet access has increased at an average rate of seven times. At the same time, the price in cmnet has been reduced by 90%, and most residents in the country can use the Internet. According to China's statistics, 99% of users in China use mobile devices to surf the Internet, and solid infrastructure has promoted development. According to the data of 20 18, 98% of the residents in China live in the 4G coverage area, and there are 3.7 million base stations in China.
Digitalization of the whole people makes China occupy a new position in the world value creation chain. According to the estimation of China Information and Communication Research Institute, the digital economy grew to 310.3 trillion yuan in 2068+08, accounting for 34.8% of the national GDP and contributing 67.8% to the overall GDP growth. In the overall wave of digitalization, technology giants such as Alibaba, Tencent, Baidu and Huawei have emerged.
The article points out that the achievements of China's scientific and technological development cannot be separated from the strong support of the state. According to the development plan of a new generation of artificial intelligence issued by the State Council, China will reach the world leading level in theory, technology and application of artificial intelligence by 20 17, and the scale of its core industries will exceed150 billion USD by 2030.
Alexander Gabiev, senior consultant of Carnégie Center in Moscow and head of Russian affairs of Asia-Pacific project, said that the existence of strategic planning, large-scale investment and personnel training in R&D, the attention paid by the national leadership to the field of science and technology and the huge domestic market are the comprehensive factors for China's success on the road of science and technology. Gabiyev believes that China's position as one of the leading countries in the global digital market will be further consolidated.
China has surpassed developed countries in a series of technologies. For example, Huawei has the most 5G technology patents. In addition, China determined the frequency band of 5G network long ago. China mobile operator obtains commercial license of 5G network. Among the top 100 cities in China, 20 19 to 10 will be put into 5G commercial networks.
The article also said that although the U.S. crackdown on high-tech enterprises in China hit the short-term interests of China companies, in the long run, it also forced China to research and develop its own basic science and technology more actively. China is trying to develop its own chip and semiconductor manufacturing industry. Huawei announced the listing of its self-developed artificial intelligence chip a few months ago, and Alibaba Group also made such achievements not long ago. Therefore, Gabiyev believes that the United States cannot stop China's progress.
Gabillet said: "The United States restricts China's access to American technology and operating systems of American universities and Silicon Valley, which will delay but not stop China's progress in the digital field. Because the market, value-added chain and new technology research and development are all global, it will be too painful for the United States to restrict its ties with China. More importantly, the political restrictions in the United States will become the driving force for China to formulate its own solutions, and it will also become the driving force for China to develop cooperation with other R&D centers in Europe, Russian, Israeli and Asian countries.
