Intelligent fitting machine can generate 3D model, which can help users try on multiple clothes at one time. Build a "financial space capsule" of the Bank to realize the free switching between self-service and manual service … Recently, the "black technology" unveiled at the second Digital China Construction Summit was refreshing.
The theme of this summit is "Cultivating new kinetic energy with informationization, promoting new development with new kinetic energy, and creating new glory with new development". During the summit, the National Internet Information Office released the Report on the Construction and Development of Digital China (2018). According to the report, the scale of digital economy in China reached 31.3 trillion yuan in 2018, accounting for 34.8% of GDP.
Behind a series of new figures is the vigorous development of digital China and its new changes and trends in government affairs, economic development and daily life. The construction of digital China, which has entered the fast lane, is profoundly changing the production and lifestyle of China people.
Digital government: big data solves "small troubles"
Digital government is the main battlefield to enhance people’s sense of digital acquisition.
Under the background of building a digital China, more and more cities have begun to promote the construction of digital government. Digital government is the product of the deep integration of public governance and digital technology. It is a government that speaks, manages, makes decisions and innovates with data. It is a demand-oriented and public-responsive government, and it is a powerful support for a powerful network country, a digital China and a smart society. "Run at most once", "Don’t meet for approval" and "Do it through one network" … Digital government uses big data to solve the small troubles of residents, making it easier for everyone to do things, and the people’s "sense of digital acquisition" is on the rise.
According to the 2018 United Nations E-government Survey Report, the online e-government service index of China ranks 34th, and the popularity of online services of China people has already led the world. Internet giants, including Alibaba, Tencent and Baidu, have joined the digital government market to help the government’s urban construction. And local governments are also accelerating the construction of local "digital government affairs" to provide more convenient and efficient services for the masses.
In late March of this year, illegal traffic payment in Fujian realized online payment. Car owners not only did not have to run the bank, but also could bind other people’s vehicles to help their families pay the fees. In just one month, 400,000 people have used this service. Fujian is also the first province in the country to handle traffic fines in different places in the province. Behind this is not only the innovation of Fujian traffic police department, but also the reform of non-tax revenue payment method by financial department. The relevant person in charge of the non-tax department of Fujian Provincial Department of Finance said: "Paying non-tax income is an important link in handling many government affairs, and whether the payment is convenient or not will directly affect the public’s satisfaction with government services."
In the aspect of handheld government affairs, the "Chongqing Express Service Platform" opened by the Chongqing Municipal Government has launched 564 government affairs services closely related to people’s lives, with an average daily volume of more than 100,000, and the total volume has exceeded 30 million, making it one of the provincial mobile government affairs service platforms with the largest number of online services, the widest service channels and the strictest efficiency supervision. "Internet+government service" is gradually becoming a way of life for people in mountain cities.
In 2018, the Jinan Municipal Government wrote a mobile phone application software named "Love City Network" into the local government work report. Provident fund withdrawal, social security inquiry, city-wide appointment registration, real-time bus inquiry … With nearly 100 services launched one by one, Jinan’s urban services are seamlessly connected with people’s lives, making life more convenient and comfortable. As of May 8, the number of users in Jinan has exceeded 4.1 million, that is to say, one in every three Jinan people handles affairs online.
From the data of Alipay platform, not only Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Shanghai, Guangdong, Fujian and other coastal areas are outstanding in digital government affairs, but also many mainland provinces are not to be outdone. Especially in Jiangxi, on the afternoon of November 12, 2018, Jiangxi government service "Fufutong" was officially launched. "Ganfutong" launched dozens of electronic documents such as teacher’s card, tour guide card and birth medical certificate on Alipay platform.
2018 is also a year of rapid development of the "One Netcom Office" government service applet. The "One Netcom Office" applet from 16 provinces and cities has settled in Alipay, with an access rate of 90%. The development of small programs provides a channel for "One Network Office" to reach users quickly.
It is worth mentioning that the people covered by digital government are not only young people. Hu Xiaoming, president of Ant Financial Services, gave an interesting example to illustrate that an 87-year-old professor from Tsinghua learned to write a thank-you letter after Alipay turned over the water, electricity and coal. He said that there are already hundreds of millions of people working on Alipay, and the oldest user is 95 years old.
Digital economy: "People-oriented" is really convenient.
"In 2018, the scale of digital economy in China reached 31.3 trillion yuan, accounting for 34.8% of GDP." This set of data released by the second Digital China Construction Summit shows that China has made remarkable achievements in the development of digital economy. It can be said that digital economy is gradually becoming the core driving force of China’s economic growth.
In 2016, the G20 Hangzhou Summit released the G20 Digital Economy Development and Cooperation Initiative, which pointed out that the digital economy refers to a series of economic activities with the use of digital knowledge and information as key production factors, modern information networks as an important carrier, and the effective use of information and communication technologies as an important driving force for efficiency improvement and economic structure optimization. The application of Internet, cloud computing, big data, Internet of Things, financial technology and other new digital technologies in the process of information collection, storage, analysis and sharing has changed the way of social interaction. Digital, networked and intelligent information and communication technologies make modern economic activities more flexible, agile and intelligent.
Undoubtedly, in the field of digital economy, China is at the forefront of the world. "The growth rate of China’s digital economy has ranked first in the world for three consecutive years". According to research and analysis by Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences, the digital economy in China has been growing rapidly in recent years, and it is predicted that the growth rate of China’s digital economy will remain at around 15% in 2019.
At the same time, the digital economy is gradually influencing and changing the real economy. Taking china state construction engineering corporation as an example, in recent years, China Construction has gradually integrated informatization with the traditional construction industry, and built a three-dimensional development pattern of "cloud+network+terminal". Make standard work flow, process work information, information work data and data utilization intelligent, and realize "digitalization, networking and intelligence" of the project site. In the construction of Xuzhou rail transit, the digital construction of the project has been realized, which has effectively controlled the quality, safety, progress and cost of the project. Among them, Xuzhou Metro Line 1 integrates information technologies such as GIS, VR, Internet of Things, mobile internet, big data, etc., purchases high-tech materials around the world, and successfully breaks through many technical difficulties.
Song Xuan, chairman of China Construction East China Company, said in an interview with this newspaper: "Infrastructure construction is the key link to strengthen and expand the real economy. Due to the rising costs of labor, resources and environment, the development mode driven by low factor costs is unsustainable, and it is necessary to change from factor-driven, investment-driven to innovation-driven Concepts and technologies such as digitalization, transparency, people-oriented and coordinated development will gradually be organically integrated with urban infrastructure and large-scale infrastructure construction and development, thus effectively promoting the construction and development of new smart cities. "
The continuous upgrading of consumption patterns has gradually become a new engine for the development of digital economy. In 2018, the e-commerce transaction volume in China was 31.63 trillion yuan, and the online retail sales exceeded 9 trillion yuan. Behind the massive data is the real pulse of the vigorous development of online and offline digital economy. In front of the booth of Shenlan Technology in the second Digital China Construction Achievement Exhibition, there was also an automatic vending cabinet using the latest hand pulse recognition system, which gave convenient shopping a new experience beyond "brushing face". The so-called hand vein is the venous vascular system 0.3 mm below the palm skin. Compared with fingerprint recognition or face recognition, it has higher confidentiality and faster payment than brushing face. In the future, these payment methods will gradually become the new normal in people’s consumption life.
Internet giants are also eagerly embracing the digital economy. Over the years, Alibaba has continued to support the development of the real economy with technologies such as the Internet, big data, cloud computing and AI technology. In order to solve the difficult and expensive financing problems of grassroots people, Ant Financial gradually "went to the grassroots level" and established a credit evaluation system based on big data integration, which provided better online credit resources for rural areas and small and micro enterprises. Nowadays, the digital economy has "flown into the homes of ordinary people", which not only brings immediate benefits to the people, but also greatly promotes consumption and injects strong impetus into economic and social development.
In addition, the rapid development of digital economy has also changed people’s payment methods. According to the data from Alipay, more than 95% of physical stores in Fuzhou have realized mobile payment, and the group of "coders" continues to grow. The so-called code quotient refers to small businesses that do business through QR codes. They not only collect money through Alipay, but also realize digital operation through QR code, and can obtain a series of services such as loans, finance, insurance and promotion.
"Digital China cannot be built without small and micro operators, who are important participants and co-builders of the digital economy. They can make the city life better and make the people feel happier. This group is the star of tomorrow and the source of vitality of China’s economy. They need to be concerned, respected and supported. " Jing Xiandong, chairman and CEO of Ant Financial, said that Alipay and Ant Financial should use technology to help small and micro operators catch up with digital express trains.
Digital life: the little assistant of thousands of families
"As of December 2018, the number of netizens in China reached 829 million, and the Internet penetration rate was 59.6%; On February 28th, China Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC) released the 43rd Statistical Report on Internet Development in China (hereinafter referred to as "Report"), as an official report published every six months, which is also a "big inventory" of the digital life of netizens all over the country.

In addition, "obedient" household appliances, cars that can be driven without leaving home, and well-served artificial intelligence are coming into people’s lives, bringing practical fresh experiences. At present, artificial intelligence has gradually become a close assistant in people’s homes. Intelligent door lock, intelligent monitoring, intelligent curtain, sweeping robot … Smart home has solved many problems in daily life. Smart home is an intelligent control system, which uses comprehensive wiring, network communication, safety precautions, automatic control and other technical means to realize the integration of home facilities, thus building a safe, efficient and intelligent management system and creating a comfortable, comfortable and worry-free living environment for users. On the platform of smart home, people can realize remote control of home appliances, doors and windows according to their own needs, and can also make personalized settings according to their own hobbies.
In addition, digital life is gradually changing the medical industry. At the exhibition of the 2nd Digital China Construction Summit, Tencent displayed a digital product called "Looking for Shadows". The on-site staff told this newspaper that Tencent Yingying is a product that applies artificial intelligence technology to the medical field. Tencent must first carry out in-depth learning-through the study of desensitization case files in key departments of cooperative hospitals, accumulate diagnostic ability. Then AI (artificial intelligence) aided diagnosis can be carried out. The staff said that this is a "life-saving AI". Tencent took less than 4 seconds to screen an endoscopic examination, and the detection rate of early esophageal cancer was as high as 90%. The addition of AI has greatly improved the doctor’s reading speed, diagnostic efficiency and accuracy.
It is worth mentioning that digital technology has also extended to the catering industry. The new smart restaurant "Haidilao", a giant in the hot pot industry, introduced robot waiters, and a series of services were completed by robots, from ordering, serving and even singing birthday songs. After the customer selects the bottom of the pot and the side dishes through the iPad, the robot worker in the back kitchen of the restaurant will automatically put the rinse on the robot waiter, and then the robot will automatically identify and navigate to find the designated table number and send it to the guest’s table. Haidilao Smart Restaurant attracted the attention of a large number of diners and became a "online celebrity Store". Many people specially went to the store to experience "black technology". Some netizens commented: "The food delivery robot shuttles among diners, and it is still very wronged if it can’t get through the crowd. The bathroom also has an intelligent design. When you look up, you can see the exhaust system on the roof. After eating the hot pot, there will be no taste. " (Yang Junfeng Lin Wenmin Qin Si Ren Linzhi)
