Data resources are China's greatest advantage in developing the digital economy.

Specific introduction:

Looking at the successive technological revolutions of mankind, each is a rearranging of productive forces, and will weave a new infrastructure "network". The steam era laid out a "railroad network", the electrical era built a "power grid", and the digital economy is weaving a network of computing power.

Whoever takes the first step in the optimization and upgrading of the network will be able to occupy the high ground of future development. In order to build a new arithmetic network system, China set up the "East and West Computing" industry alliance in September 2020, and launched the construction of the national hub node of the national integrated arithmetic network in May this year to accelerate the "East and West Computing" project.

At present, "east counts west counts" in Guizhou, Ningxia, Gansu and other western regions to promote, all parties are working to form a new pattern of arithmetic with Chinese characteristics, or will build the digital era "economic new map".

Measures specifics:

Data released at the 2021 China International Big Data Industry Expo showed that since 2015, China's data incremental average annual growth rate of more than 30%; in 2019, the amount of data generated in China accounted for about 9.3% of the world, ranking second in the world.

Data resources are China's biggest advantage in developing the digital economy Chen Yubo, party secretary and vice president of Tsinghua University's School of Economics and Management, believes that the Chinese government's forward-looking layout of digital infrastructure construction will transform the advantage of the mega-market and demographic dividend into a data dividend.

Shen Zhulin, director of the Department of Innovation and High Technology Development of the National Development and Reform Commission, believes that with the explosive growth of the total amount of data in the whole society, China has become a large country with global data resources and one of the countries with the most active big data application, the most potential and the best environment in the world.

In the era of digital economy, whoever owns the massive data and advanced arithmetic power will be able to occupy the heights of development and master the initiative of development, whether it is enterprise development or national competition.

But for a long time, it has been difficult for China's arithmetic power level to meet the huge computational demand brought about by the surge in data volume. One of the important reasons is that the data center carrying the arithmetic power there is an imbalance between supply and demand, the development of disorder: the eastern first-tier cities "crowded" tend to be saturated, and in other areas, especially in some western regions "no one used", low utilization rate.
