Recently, the 2022-01 think tank Annual Conference on digital economy with the theme of “digital development: building a new pattern and building new advantages” was held in Shanghai. Bai Liang, founder of zero one think tank, delivered an opening speech. He mentioned that 2021 is a year of solid progress in various foundations for the development of digital economy. At the beginning of 2022, the release of the “14th five year plan” for the development of digital economy has drawn a path and blueprint for the development of digital economy. Recently, the central bank issued the financial technology development plan (2022-2025), which stressed that “we should play the role of doubling data elements and inject digital elements into the whole process of financial services”. This series of documents let us see that the digital economy is the driving force and foundation of the core of social development and the direction of future development.
Bai Liang said that he believes that in the next few years, China’s digital economy will reach an unprecedented height, breadth and depth and become the core force affecting China’s social and economic development. As a digital economy decision-making service platform, zero one think tank will continue to hold the annual digital economy conference as usual to discuss and promote the development of digital economy with people from all walks of life.
Xiang Lipeng, senior engineer of the Fifth Institute of industry and information technology electronics and head of blockchain innovation team, said that the core of digital economy is to expand from the main line of digital to data, evolve from data to data products and data services, then evolve data assets and data values, promote asset securitization, and then drive the development of the whole digital economy. Among them, data is the core part, that is, data is the foundation of the whole digital economy, and the core cornerstone of the digital economy is trust. Blockchain technology is the core strategic support technology of digital economy and the solution to construct trust machine. Promoting the deep integration of blockchain and real industry and enabling the transformation and upgrading of real economy are the current priorities.
Zhang Xiaojun, chief operating officer of Huawei blockchain, said that the digital economy is the only way to the future in the information technology era. As one of the products of such an innovation process, blockchain will better drive the sustainable development of digital economy in the next 30 years. At the application level of blockchain, Zhang Xiaojun mentioned that the current broad application scenarios can be summarized as storage (distributed storage), transmission (data encryption), identification (Unified consensus) and line (automatic execution), that is, blockchain is the synthesis of this series of technologies. Application scenarios can be roughly divided into two categories – inside the system and outside the system. The inside of the system focuses on data sharing, flow and recording, while the outside of the system pays more attention to data flow track recording. At present, government affairs, finance, medical treatment and manufacturing are the mainstream application fields of blockchain.
