Deep participation in international cooperation
Insiders pointed out that the digital economy takes digital knowledge and information as the key production factors, modern information network as the important carrier, and information and communication technology as the important driving force for efficiency improvement, so as to promote the quality, efficiency and power changes of economic development. In the background of novel coronavirus pneumonia sweeping the globe, digital economy has become the key economic form to maintain economic vitality and ensure the smooth supply chain of industrial chain. According to statistics, the proportion of digital economy in GDP (gross domestic product) in developed countries has exceeded 50%.
In recent years, China has actively promoted digital industrialization and industrial digitization, promoted the deep integration of digital technology with economic and social development, and the digital economy has developed rapidly. According to the data, in 2020, the scale of China's digital economy was nearly US $5.4 trillion, with a year-on-year increase of 9.6%. The scale and growth rate ranked among the top in the world.
"One belt, one road" construction has further promoted the digital economy and has created favorable conditions for "going out". China's one belt, one road, direct investment in the non financial sector was 11 billion 290 million US dollars in the first 7 months of this year, up 9.9% over the same period last year, and it has been increasing against the trend. At present, more and more Chinese enterprises are "going out" to help local economic growth with the new model of digital economy, cultivate new markets and new industrial growth points, create jobs and improve people's lives.
"China has a lot of room for cooperation with other countries." Liu Dian, associate researcher of Chongyang Institute of finance, Renmin University of China, predicts that "going to sea" of digital economy enterprises will become an important trend in the future.
Actively integrate into the global industrial chain
The novel coronavirus pneumonia epidemic continues to spread, and the global industry chain and supply chain cycle are blocked. In the future, as the epidemic situation in various countries is gradually controlled and economic and social activities are gradually restored, a new round of international infrastructure investment is expected to become a new engine for world economic recovery and growth. " Fang qiuchen, President of China Chamber of Commerce for foreign contractors, believes that we should continue to promote science and technology enabled traditional international infrastructure projects, especially strengthen cooperation in 5g, artificial intelligence, big data, smart city and other fields.
The guidelines on foreign investment and cooperation in the digital economy (hereinafter referred to as the guidelines) mentioned accelerating the construction of digital infrastructure, encouraging enterprises to seize the opportunities of overseas digital infrastructure market, provide digital services worldwide, and actively participate in the digitization and networking of traditional infrastructure such as municipal, transportation, energy, electric power and water conservancy in the host country Intelligent upgrading.
Overseas Economic and trade cooperation zones are an important platform for Chinese enterprises to "go global" and a key carrier for international industrial cooperation. China's enterprises in one belt, one road, and other countries along the way have invested nearly $40 billion in the end of 2020. The guidelines also put forward requirements for promoting the digitization of overseas economic and trade cooperation zones.
"The digital development of overseas economic and trade cooperation zones is one of the high-quality development directions of the cooperation zones, and the construction of digital cooperation zones is a high standard, high goal and high requirement for the future development of the cooperation zones." China's "one belt, one road" economic and Trade Cooperation Research Institute, Qi Xin, said that through this platform for external investment and cooperation, it will help enterprises to participate in the global industrial chain remodeling, consolidate and create China's advantages in the digital economy, and promote a higher level of domestic and international double circulation.
Risk prevention
Since "going out", we will inevitably face many risks and challenges. Experts said that the network security and data security in the field of digital economy are highly concerned by governments and society all over the world. The "going global" of Chinese digital economy enterprises will face an increasingly strict international regulatory environment.
Given that Chinese digital economy enterprises have encountered some resistance before "going out to sea", the guidelines make special arrangements for the guidance, supervision and risk prevention of "going out" of digital economy, focusing on data security and antitrust.
In terms of data security, in addition to complying with the laws and regulations of the host country and international prevailing rules, enterprises should also improve their internal compliance system and strictly implement the provisions of Chinese laws and regulations on data exit security management. Specifically, the provisions on the exit of important data in the network security law and the data security law. It is worth noting that the personal information protection law, which will come into force on November 1, also makes corresponding provisions on the cross-border provision of personal information. In addition, we should improve the data security management system, take necessary technical measures to protect data security and personal information, and support enterprises to protect their rights through legal means.
In terms of antitrust, the guidelines remind us to closely follow the latest policy trends of antitrust and digital tax in the global digital economy[ In the current international situation, countries tend to tighten the security of the digital economy, continue to crack down on antitrust, and become more and more strict in legislation, law enforcement and supervision. " Liu Dian believes that China's digital economy enterprises must be cautious in "going out" and do a good job in risk prevention.
