Mr. Graham Earnshaw, Economic Consultant of 2022 China Digital 100
In 2021, the revenue of these 100 companies alone accounted for close to 10% of China’s national GDP, once again reflecting the importance of the digital economy in sustaining the national economy.
It is also worth noting that even though unlisted Chinese companies were not under consideration for the Digital 100, many industry-leading companies such as Huawei and ByteDance also possess outstanding competence in the digital economy sector. At the same time, keep an eye out for the rapid emergence of unicorn companies such as SHEIN that also have the potential to become the bedrock of China’s digital economy.
In recent years, the national and municipal governments have continually pushed for “2 Transformations”, elevating digital transformation to the same strategic importance as industrial transformation. By promoting digital industrialization, industrial digitization, data value and digital governance, this will result in digital empowerment and accelerate the integration of the digital and real economies. As a result, under a new service-oriented development model, industry structure can be better optimized, industry patterns remodeled and industry quality improved, thus achieving high quality development. It is the opinion of industry experts that the launch of the 2022 China Digital 100 reflects the phased achievements of the “2 Transformations”, and furthermore reinforces the fact that digital transformation is slowly becoming a new driver of economic growth. The successful implementation of Shangrao, Jiangxi and China’s digital economy provides renewed hope and expectation for the future of the digital economy.
