全球数字治理赤字:表现、成因与中国的应对

Global Digital Governance Deficits:Manifestations,Causes,and China’s Practices

随着数字技术与数字经济的高速发展,当前全球数字治理体系远不能满足国际社会对全球数字治理的需求,全球数字治理赤字已然显现。全球数字治理赤字集中体现在两方面:一是器物、制度及理念等治理基础的供给赤字,主要表现为全球数字鸿沟进一步拉大、制度建设缺失严重、主导理念严重滞后;二是治理运作中的效果赤字,主要表现为数字霸权主义、数字保护主义和数字帝国主义。全球数字治理赤字的形成来自治理环境、治理主体和治理对象的共同作用。面对严峻的全球数字治理赤字,中国挺膺担当,通过深化数字基础设施、数字贸易和数字人才合作来提升全球互联互通水平和弥合全球数字鸿沟;通过主动创设治理机制、先行探索治理规范以及积极参与国际数字规则对接来提升全球数字制度建设水平;通过倡导共商共建共享的全球治理观,推动数字命运共同体的构建,在全球数字治理理念方面贡献中国智慧。

With the rapid development of digital technology and digital economy,the current global digital governance system is far from being able to meet the needs of the international community,and a global digital governance deficit has emerged.The global digital governance deficit is centered on two aspects:first,the deficit on the supply side,i.e.,capabilities,institutions,and ideas,manifested in the further widening of the global digital divide,the lack of institution building,and the paucity of viable ideas;second,the deficit in governance effectiveness,which is undermined by digital hegemony,digital protectionism,and digital imperialism.The global digital governance deficit results from a confluence of factors:governance environment,governance subjects,and governance objects.In the face of the severe global digital governance deficit,China has taken up the responsibility to enhance global connectivity and bridge the global digital divide by deepening cooperation in digital infrastructure,digital economy,digital trade,and digital talent.China is also enhancing the level of global digital institution construction by taking the initiative to create governance mechanisms,exploring governance norms,and actively participating in the alignment of international digital rules.By advocating the ideal of global governance based on broad-based negotiation,joint efforts,and shared benefits,and by promoting the construction of a digital community of shared future,China contributes its wisdom to the global digital governance.
