Original title: Many provinces and cities intensively release digital economy programmatic documents, Guangdong explores the establishment of data trading venues
Guide: Since the beginning of this year, from Guangdong Province to prefecture-level cities, policies on the digital transformation of the manufacturing industry have been unveiled one after another, and the road of digital transformation of the manufacturing industry in Guangdong is entering the fast lane.
In the first year of the “14th Five-Year Plan”, the clarion call for the construction of a digital China has been sounded, and my country’s digital economy development boom is coming.
As the frontier of digital development, Guangdong Province has intensively introduced a number of favorable policies this year. The “Regulations on the Promotion of Digital Economy in Guangdong Province” (hereinafter referred to as the “Regulations”) have also been adopted at the 33rd meeting of the Standing Committee of the 13th People’s Congress of Guangdong Province on July 30, 2021, since September 1, 2021. It will come into effect today.
The 21st Century Business Herald reporter learned that the “Regulations” are the first local regulations to promote the development of the digital economy since the state announced the statistical classification of the digital economy and its core industries during the “14th Five-Year Plan” period.
Regarding the development of Guangdong’s digital economy, many measures proposed in the “Regulations” have attracted people’s attention. For example, the “Regulations” pointed out that regions with conditions can set up data trading venues in accordance with the law to encourage and guide data suppliers and demanders to conduct transactions in data trading venues.
Pan Helin, Executive Dean of the Digital Economy Research Institute of Zhongnan University of Economics and Law, said, “The Regulations delineate the responsibilities and tasks of all levels of government in Guangdong Province in promoting the digital economy, and are more forward-looking and executable from the actual implementation level. The greatly increased degree is a programmatic document for the future development of the digital economy in Guangdong Province, and it will also become a model for the development of the digital economy in the country.”
Accelerate the deployment of digital economy everywhere
With the global economy still in a fragile recovery, the digital economy has become a key move to achieve economic recovery and promote sustainable development. According to the “Global Digital Economy White Paper” released by the Institute of Information and Communications Technology, the scale of my country’s digital economy in 2020 will be close to 5.4 trillion US dollars, ranking second in the world, with a year-on-year growth of 9.6%, and the growth rate ranking first in the world.
The “14th Five-Year Plan” outlines the development of the digital economy as a separate chapter, drawing a new blueprint for the construction of digital China in the next five years. Focusing on the development of the digital economy, the outline of the plan is clear. By 2025, the added value of my country’s digital economy core industries will account for 10% of GDP.
In addition to the top-level design at the national level, all localities are also actively planning a new round of development measures to accelerate the creation of a digital economy development highland.
The 2021 Global Digital Economy Conference released the “Beijing’s Implementation Plan on Accelerating the Construction of a Global Digital Economy Benchmark City”, which is the world‘s first release of a “blueprint” for the development of a digital economy benchmark city. Through 5 to 10 years of continuous efforts, Beijing will build the “six highlands” leading the development of the global digital economy, and by 2030, it will become a benchmark city for the global digital economy.
As a pioneering province in the digital economy, Zhejiang has also made frequent plans for the digital economy in recent years. On March 1 this year, the “Regulations on the Promotion of Digital Economy in Zhejiang Province” formally began to be implemented, which is also the country’s first local regulation with the theme of promoting the development of the digital economy. This regulation focuses on the two major supports of digital infrastructure and data resources and the three major points of digital industrialization, industrial digitalization, and governance digitalization, and has created a series of institutional measures to ensure and promote the development of the digital economy.
As one of the most open and economically dynamic regions in China, Guangdong has also spared no effort to develop a digital economy in recent years. According to the goals set out in the “14th Five-Year Plan” of Guangdong Province, by 2025, the added value of the core industries of Guangdong’s digital economy will account for 20% of GDP.
This year, Guangdong Province has intensively introduced a number of policies around the development of the digital economy, including “Opinions of the People’s Government of Guangdong Province on Accelerating Digital Development”, “Guangdong Province Chief Data Officer System Pilot Work Plan”, and “Guangdong Province Data Element Market-oriented Allocation Reform Action Plan”, “Guangdong Province Manufacturing Digital Transformation Implementation Plan and Several Policy Measures”, etc.
“The frequent introduction of favorable policies fully demonstrates Guangdong’s determination to vigorously develop the digital economy. The digital economy will become a new kinetic energy and new engine for Guangdong’s high-quality development.” said Lin Jiang, a professor at the Department of Economics of Lingnan College, Sun Yat-sen University.
The Guangdong Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology stated that the “Regulations” fully highlight the local characteristics of Guangdong’s development of digital economy, based on Guangdong’s reality, highlighting the development advantages of a good industrial foundation and a large market, focusing on the two cores of “digital industrialization and industrial digitalization”, relying on ” Driven by the two major elements of data and technology, play the role of the underlying support of digital infrastructure, strengthen policy measures and guarantees, and build the “2211” framework structure as a whole, that is, “two cores, two elements, one support, and one guarantee.”
Cultivate strategic digital industry clusters
With the advent of the industrial Internet era, industrial digitization and digital industrialization have become urgent problems in Guangdong. In this regard, the “Regulations” also have plans to highlight the digital transformation of the manufacturing industry and cultivate strategic digital industrial clusters.
In fact, since the beginning of this year, from Guangdong Province to prefecture-level cities, policies on the digital transformation of the manufacturing industry have also been unveiled, and the road of digital transformation of the manufacturing industry in Guangdong is entering the fast lane.
According to Guangdong’s previous goals, by 2023, Guangdong’s strategic pillar industry clusters and strategic emerging industry clusters will accelerate their digital transformation, promote more than 30,000 industrial enterprises above designated size to implement digital transformation using new-generation information technology, and drive 800,000 enterprises Go to the cloud and use the cloud to reduce costs and improve quality and efficiency.
A reporter from the 21st Century Business Herald found that the “Regulations” divided industrial digitization into three chapters: industry, agriculture, and service industry digitization, as the focus and characteristics of Guangdong’s digital economy development, and promoted to become a new driving force and new driving force for the high-quality development of Guangdong’s real economy. engine.
Aiming at the problems of traditional manufacturing enterprises’ digital transformation speed not being fast enough, quality not high enough, and small and medium-sized enterprises that are unwilling, dare, and will not, Guangdong will focus on the platform, network, technology, ecology, application and other aspects to promote the development of the industrial Internet in an all-round way. , Highlighting the integration and development of large and medium-sized enterprises and the digital transformation of industrial clusters, using industrial chain and supply chain thinking, and comprehensively and systematically proposing industrial digitalization paths and measures, and accelerating the transformation and upgrading of traditional manufacturing.
At the same time, in view of the “lack of cores” and “fewer cores” and other industrial chain shortcomings, it is proposed to plan the development of core digital industries such as integrated circuits and software, and cultivate strategic industrial clusters such as electronic information, ultra-high-definition video display, intelligent robots, and digital creativity. Strengthen the level of digital industry.
Lin Jiang told a reporter from the 21st Century Business Herald that the implementation of digital transformation of the manufacturing industry fully conforms to the characteristics of Guangdong’s industry. However, Guangdong’s industrial development has obvious cluster effects. In addition to the digital transformation of individual enterprises, the digital transformation of industrial clusters is also particularly important. Only by breaking the breakpoints and blockages of the industrial chain through digital transformation can we better promote high-quality manufacturing. develop.
Make it clear that personal information is protected by law
In terms of building a digital industry ecology, the “Regulations” propose to explore data transaction models, cultivate data element markets, standardize data transaction behavior, and promote efficient data circulation. Regions where conditions permit can set up data trading venues in accordance with the law to encourage and guide data suppliers and demanders to conduct transactions at the data trading venues.
With the rapid development of the digital economy, massive amounts of data continue to be generated and precipitated. While becoming a new production factor, it also brings about the problem of personal privacy being abused.
Guangdong is also at the forefront of the country in the regulation of data transaction behavior. Prior to this, the “Shenzhen Special Economic Zone Data Regulations” was promulgated in July and will be implemented on January 1 next year. This is the first basic and comprehensive legislation in the domestic data field. On the basis of strengthening the protection of personal data, the “Shenzhen Special Economic Zone Data Regulations” clearly stipulates competition chaos such as “free-riding”, “getting for nothing”, and “big data” in the data element market.
The “Guangdong Province Digital Economy Promotion Regulations” also clarifies that personal information is protected by law. The “Regulations” pointed out that the collection, storage, use, processing, transmission, provision, disclosure and other processing activities of personal information should follow the principles of lawfulness, fairness, and necessity, and must not over-process, and comply with the conditions stipulated by laws and regulations.
The interviewed experts said that to create a good digital ecosystem, not only corresponding laws and regulations, but also strict self-disciplined collaboration of the enterprise itself and the platform, the construction of a collaborative governance model with diversified regulatory bodies and diversified regulatory methods, and promote digital technology and the country The integration of supervision and governance allows laws and regulations to be synchronized with the process of the digital economy.
The “Regulations” propose to clarify the positioning of platform enterprises and regulatory rules in accordance with laws and regulations, and promote the standardized, innovative and healthy development of the platform economy and the sharing economy. Internet platform operators shall establish and improve platform management rules and systems, and fulfill their obligations in accordance with the law in terms of product and service quality assurance, network security assurance, data security assurance, consumer rights protection, and personal information protection.
Pan Helin said, “It is necessary to improve the third-party supervision model of digital economic data. Through third-party supervision, the data use authority shall be confirmed, and the data shall be desensitized and provided to the data user for legal use. In building a digital ecosystem, it is necessary to pay attention to personal Information security and data security. While developing the digital economy, digital technology is used to ensure data security.”
