数字经济背景下中国信息产业与信息化:发展现实及政策思考

China’s IT Industry and Information Technology Application in the Context of Digital Economy:Status and Policy

在数字经济迅猛发展的大背景下,中国一直高度重视发展信息产业和提高国家的信息化水平。信息产业方面,近十年来,中国软件产品收入、信息技术服务收入呈增长之势;电信业务收入增长较快,网络供给能力不断增强,固定资产投资增速明显加快;东部地区电信产业发展水平较高,中西部地区水平较低。数字经济发展给中国信息产业带来机遇和挑战,也暴露出信息产业在满足数字经济发展要求方面存在不足。信息化方面,工业软件与工业互联网正在交汇融合,工业互联网领域出现全新的商业模式;人工智能广泛应用于各个领域,并深刻影响着传统行业数字化进程;工业互联网平台产业规模扩大,公共服务平台体系已经形成;大数据环境下,中国信息化发展依然存在短板和亟待解决的深层次问题。未来,中国需要加快信息产业和信息化基础设施建设,提升信息产业产品和设备能效;突破工业软件行业技术瓶颈,加快实现软件迭代、算法改进和技术升级;优化信息产业布局,加快建设信息产业集群,服务数字经济发展;加强信息产业技术和产能的国际合作,构建信息基础设施安全保障体系。

In the wake of the rapid development of digital economy,China has always attached great importance to development of IT industry and the improvement of its information technology application.The past decade has witnessed China’s revenue increase in software products and IT services.Headway has been made in telecommunications business revenue,network supply capacity and fixed asset investment.Advanced telecommunications industry in China’s eastern region is in stark contrast to the backward counterpart in China’s central and western regions.On the one hand,the development of digital economy has brought opportunities and posed challenges to China’s IT industry;and on the other hand,it shows that the IT industry has shortcomings in meeting the requirements of digital economic development.In terms of information technology application,industrial software is converging with industrial networks,which have ushered in brand new business modes.AI has been extensively applied to various fields,exerting far-reaching influence upon the digitalization of traditional industries.The scale of industrial networks has been expanding,and public service platforms have been in place.In the context of big data,China’s information technology application is still subjected to some weakness.Some deep-seated problems are to be addressed urgently.In the future,China is expected to expedite the infrastructure construction for IT industry and information technology application,and work hard to improve the quality of IT products and the efficiency of equipment.Efforts and measures should be taken to overcome bottleneck problems in industrial software development,which can help to speed up software iteration,technical upgrade and algorithm improvement.IT industry layout should be optimized,and steps should be quickened to build IT industry clusters,so as to serve the growth of digital economy.In addition,it is necessary to promote the international cooperation in information technology and production capacity,and construct information infrastructure security system.
