Economic Daily reporter:
This forum is held in Hangzhou, Zhejiang. What are the unique advantages and conditions of Hangzhou, Zhejiang?
Xu Wenguang:
Thanks to this friend from the media for your question. The reason why this forum was chosen to be held in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, I think the main reason is that Zhejiang, as a leading province in the development of digital economy, and Hangzhou, as the birthplace of China’s e-commerce, have more obvious influence at home and abroad, and more attention from all parties. To sum up, there are four main characteristics.
One is the powerful science and technology innovation platform. For example, I also mentioned earlier that Zhijiang Laboratory has been included in the national laboratory system.2020Year12The United Nations Big Data Global Platform China Regional Center was officially unveiled in Hangzhou in July, bringing more innovative technologies and scientific methods to the development and application of big data. A group of city brains and video perception platforms have been selected into the national new generation artificial intelligence open innovation platform.
Second, innovation momentum is strong.We promote “Industrial Brain”+The “Future Factory” model has comprehensively improved the level of intelligent manufacturing. The R&D intensity of the digital economy’s core industries, the R&D investment intensity of the whole society, the major scientific and technological research projects of the digital economy, and the net inflow rate of Internet talents have all remained at the forefront of the country year after year.
Three is the rapid development of the industry.The scale of Zhejiang’s electronic information manufacturing industry and software industry ranks third and fourth in the country respectively, digital security and cloud computing develop rapidly, and digital high-tech enterprises reach1.1Wanjia, the world500strong enterprise1A company with an annual revenue exceeding 100 billion yuan2home, over 10 billion enterprises45home, listed company164Home.
Fourth, the infrastructure is complete.We continue to deepen the construction of the national digital economy innovation and development pilot zone, create a demonstration province for digital new infrastructure innovation, be the first to launch a new national Internet exchange center, and build various data centers202including large and above data centers20The number and scale are among the top in the country.
Of course, I also introduced earlier that Hangzhou has advanced experience and first-class conditions for hosting large-scale forum activities, and has beautiful natural landscapes and profound cultural heritage. These are also the reasons for attracting the forum to land. As the saying goes: hearing is believing, seeing is believing. We still sincerely invite everyone to go to Zhejiang and Hangzhou to take a walk, take a look, drink a cup of Longjing tea, enjoy the scenery of West Lake, and experience the vitality and momentum of the digital economy development in Zhejiang and Hangzhou. Thanks!

CCTV reporter from China Central Radio and Television:
In recent years, China’s response and accelerated actions to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals have contributed experience and solutions to the world. I would like to ask: What is the significance of holding a data forum for China to promote high-quality development?
Kang Yi:
Thank you for your question. The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China clearly pointed out that high-quality development is the primary task of building a modern socialist country in an all-round way, and is one of the essential requirements of Chinese-style modernization. The new development pattern in which domestic and international dual cycles promote each other as the main body further highlights the overall and long-term significance of development quality, points out the direction for promoting high-quality development, and establishes a guide for action. The United Nations World Data Forum is a large-scale international exchange event hosted by my country after the successful convening of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. It is of great significance to implement the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, strengthen national data and statistics capacity building, and promote high-quality development.
First of all, holding a data forum is conducive to the high-quality development of high-quality statistical monitoring services. The World Data Forum is an international cooperation and exchange platform for the implementation of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. At this forum, government officials from international organizations, relevant national statistics and data management departments, as well as representatives from academia, enterprises, and civil society will gather together to discuss mining the value of data, improving data credibility, and the application of big data in government statistics, etc. Conduct in-depth exchanges, discuss cutting-edge topics, and share practical experience.This will play an important role in promoting the enrichment of my country’s high-quality development of statistical monitoring methods, further improvement of the statistical monitoring indicator system, improvement of statistical method systems, and improvement of the quality of statistical data. At the same time, it will also promote the common development of global statistics and promote the2030Make new Chinese contributions to statistical monitoring of the 2010 Sustainable Development Goals.
Secondly, holding a data forum is conducive to providing a favorable opportunity for the development of the digital economy. In recent years, my country’s digital economy has achieved world-renowned development achievements. The scale of the digital economy has ranked second in the world for many years. The digital economy has become an important engine to promote high-quality development, providing a strong impetus for the sustainable and healthy economic and social development. The 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China made important arrangements for accelerating the construction of a digital China, pointing out that it is necessary to accelerate the development of the digital economy and promote the deep integration of the digital economy and the real economy. This forum carefully designed the content of the government’s digital transformation and big data to help enterprises transform and develop. Through in-depth exchanges and sharing of data production, utilization, management practices and achievements, it will further deepen international cooperation in the digital economy and better promote the digital transformation of enterprises. Provide new opportunities for the development of my country’s digital economy.
Third, holding a data forum is conducive to creating a good international environment for high-quality development. This forum is an important action to implement Xi Jinping’s diplomatic thought, a concrete measure to implement the global development initiative and sustainable development agenda, and an effective way to accelerate China’s statistical modernization reform. We will give full play to the advantages of the host country, disseminate and share China’s experience and innovative practices in digital governance and digital government with the world, enhance mutual trust, build consensus, expand cooperation, and create a favorable international environment for high-quality development. At the same time, the forum will build a platform for government statistical cooperation and exchange, fully publicize the achievements of Chinese government statistical work, and enhance the international discourse power and influence of Chinese government statistics. Thanks!
