With digital technology playing an increasingly important role in the integration of the globalized world, joint endeavors for governance of the internet are necessary to ensure that all countries benefit from it, a China Daily editorial said.
President Xi Jinping expressed his hope that all countries will deepen their pragmatic cooperation to inject vitality into efforts to build a community with a shared future in cyberspace, in his congratulatory message to the Fifth World Internet Conference that opened on Nov 7 in Wuzhen, East China's Zhejiang province.
The potential of the digital economy is enormous. China's digital economy, which is the largest in the world was 27.2 trillion yuan ($3.9 trillion) last year, accounting for 32.9 percent of its GDP. Boston Consulting Group expects China's digital economy to grow to $16 trillion by 2035, leading a trend whereby the digital economy will become simply the economy.
The rapid development of the internet has fundamentally changed the way people lead their lives, and its continued development with the establishing of the internet of things and the growing use of artificial intelligence promises further revolutionary changes to come, the editorial said.
