Since 2013, the "the Belt and Road" initiative has gradually changed from a vision to a reality. It has achieved fruitful results, demonstrated strong vitality and resilience, and demonstrated China's responsibility as a responsible major country to promote the common development of the global economy. With a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation booming, new technologies such as the Internet, big data, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, blockchain and other industries are accelerating their integration with each other. The joint construction of the "the Belt and Road" also presents new characteristics of the times, bringing rare opportunities for participating in national economic development and industrial digital transformation.
And improve people's wellbeing. Many countries participating in the joint construction of the "the Belt and Road" are developing countries, and their digital infrastructure is relatively backward. The joint construction of the "the Belt and Road" has provided an important opportunity for participating in national economic development and industrial digital transformation, and enhanced the people's livelihood of participating countries. On the one hand, in the process of jointly building the "the Belt and Road", Chinese enterprises give full play to their digital technology advantages and advanced management experience, jointly build excellent digital infrastructure with participating countries, provide digital services, and cooperate with relevant countries to cultivate digital talents, effectively improving the digital skills and quality of labor force in relevant countries. These practical practices are not only conducive to these countries to seize the opportunities of digital economy development and use the advantages of backwardness to achieve leapfrog development, but also promote more people to participate in the vigorous development of the digital economy and share the convenient life brought by the digital economy. On the other hand, the joint construction of the "the Belt and Road" is also an important platform for participating in national cultural exchanges. With the continuous popularization of digital equipment and digital technology in participating countries, different countries and regions can present and disseminate their own or regional excellent cultural products through digital means, and people of all countries can conduct cultural exchanges, learning and consumption through mobile Internet, so as to better meet people's spiritual and cultural needs.
Form new driving forces for development. Traditional economic theory believes that population, capital and land are the main production factors for economic development. With the development of the digital economy, data has become a new factor of production, which has injected new momentum into economic development. It not only continuously promotes new economic development models and new industries and new formats, but also promotes the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries by enabling the digital development of traditional industries. In recent years, cooperation between China and participating countries in the "the Belt and Road Initiative" has been strengthened in e-commerce, trade platform services, smart logistics and other fields. The construction of key digital infrastructure projects has been accelerated, which not only shares the huge benefits of China's digital economy development with relevant countries, but also effectively expands the dividend of regional digital economy development, and accelerates the economic development and industrial digital transformation process of relevant countries. For example, with the development of digital economy in participating countries, more market players can participate in the international trading system through digital technology, and obtain broader market opportunities and opportunities to display their own products, which greatly reduces the market search and matching costs of both the supply and demand sides, improves the efficiency of domestic factor allocation and commodity circulation, and reduces the overall operating pressure and operating costs of enterprises, It also makes it possible for enterprises to invest more funds in innovative research and development of products and services to achieve development and growth.
To further promote the joint construction of the digital "the Belt and Road", on the one hand, it is necessary to strengthen communication and coordination at all levels of participating countries to promote the effective docking of digital economy development strategies of all countries; On the other hand, we need to deepen exchanges, cooperation and dialogue in the areas of data security protection and the formulation of digital economy governance rules, and strive to reach more consensus on digital economy governance, data security protection and other issues, so as to create favorable conditions for countries to make good use of digital transformation opportunities.
