China's Digital Economy Accounts For More Than 36% Of GDP
At the Second China Internet Basic Resources Conference (CNIRC 2020) held a few days ago, Yang Xiaowei, deputy director of the National Internet Information Office, said that during the “13th Five-Year Plan” period, China’s Internet information industry has flourished and achieved fruitful results: the scale of the digital economy has increased from The 11 trillion yuan at the beginning of the Three-Five-Year Plan has grown to 35.8 trillion yuan in 2019, accounting for more than 36% of GDP and contributing 67.7% of GDP. In five years, China’s Internet basic resources industry has achieved leapfrog development and the scale of Internet users From 688 million people in 2016 to 940 million people in 2020, the Internet penetration rate increased from 50.3% to 67.0%, exceeding the global average; the number of China’s top-level domain names “.CN” exceeded 23 million, the 13th Five-Year Plan During the period, it ranked first in the world, and the large-scale deployment of IPv6 accelerated, and the fundamental role of the Internet’s basic resources on the foundation of the digital economy became more prominent.
The theme of this year’s conference is “Consolidating the “roots” and “gathering” the future. It is guided by the State Internet Information Office and hosted by the China Internet Network Information Center and the Computer Network Information Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. At the meeting, a number of academicians and experts gathered to focus on the overall situation of building a network power, build an industry exchange and cooperation innovation platform, promote the development and improvement of the Internet basic resource technology system, and consolidate the foundation of Internet applications.
“Internet basic resources are an important cornerstone of the digital economy, and mainly refer to the important basic resources for providing key Internet services. In the future, we need to further strengthen the basic Internet resources from the two stages of long-term and short-term, micro, meso, and macro aspects. Breakthroughs in core technologies in the field, accelerate the promotion of basic Internet resource policies, technologies, and industrial ecological construction, and promote the construction of a new pattern of international cyberspace that respects cyberspace sovereignty and participates in governance.” said Zeng Yu, director and researcher of China Internet Network Information Center.
Zhou Hongren, former executive deputy director of the National Informatization Expert Advisory Committee, analyzed the development history and future direction of Industry 4.0 and the Industrial Internet from the perspectives of enterprises and the world. He introduced that “Industry 4.0” is an enterprise-centric platform, emphasizing that enterprise information systems are moving towards complete integration and constructing an enterprise-level “computer network-physical system”. The full Internet is the Internet of Everything, which will become the next-generation Internet. China will have the world’s largest number of “humans, machines, and things”; accelerate the construction of an intelligent, full-covered, and fully compatible global Internet of Things identification system, which is China’s leading the world A major opportunity for the development of the Internet of Things.
“The key task for the development of IPv6 next-generation Internet is to carry out network infrastructure transformation and improve network service levels. Internet architecture is the key core technology of the Internet. IPv6 next-generation Internet provides a new platform for solving the technical challenges of Internet architecture. The development of IPv6 next-generation Internet will bring historic development opportunities to the innovation and development of core Internet technologies.” said Wu Jianping, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering.
“Currently, IPv6 users in China are growing rapidly, but the current IPv6 traffic accounts for less than 10% of the total network traffic. The main problem is the insufficient IPv6 application.” Wu Hequan, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, believes that the next stage of development lies in enhancing the value of IPv6 and developing IPv6 Potential. In particular, we must take advantage of the opportunity of new infrastructure, especially the opportunity of the large-scale construction of new infrastructure, to promote the quality and cost reduction of IPv6 products; IPv6 segment routing, network slicing, flow detection, new multicast and application-aware networks can be developed Wait for the new agreement. “In the future, IPv6 will have many requirements and challenges in deterministic wide area networks, variable length IP addresses, network security, etc., and continuous innovation is needed, and standardization is still on the way.” Wu Hequan said.
Regarding the future development of cybersecurity, Shen Changxiang, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, said that in accordance with national cybersecurity laws, strategies, and other security systems, a new system of active immune protection must be built, a new industrial space for active immune trusted computing 3.0, and a new industrial space for active immune trusted computing 3.0 must be built according to the security 2.0 The new infrastructure builds a network security line of defense, and uses the road of legal security to solve Internet security issues.
