On September 10, at the 2020 Tencent Global Digital Ecology Conference, Tencent Research Institute and Tencent Cloud released the "Digital China Index Report (2020)" (hereinafter referred to as the "Report"). At the same time, Tencent Research Institute and Guanghua School of Management of Peking University launched the "Future Economic Joint Research Program", relying on Guanghua’s academic strength to carry out research from two aspects, one is the digitalization of the Chinese economy, and the other is in this context. Business management practices.
The report released this time shows that the Digital China Index continues to maintain rapid growth in 2019. Among them, the 11 major urban agglomerations represented by the Pearl River Delta are the backbone of my country's digitalization process. In addition, the amount of cloud usage across the country has also achieved a growth of 118%. The amount of cloud usage in each month of the first half of the year was significantly higher than the same period last year, and the growth rate of traditional industries was particularly obvious.
New infrastructure and the epidemic have doubled the breakthrough of the industrial Internet, and the growth rate of cloud usage has more than doubled
The report shows that under the guidance of the "new infrastructure" wave, cloud computing is the base of the new infrastructure. In 2019, the total cloud usage across the country reached 1,012 points, achieving a rapid growth of 118%.
Among them, from an industry perspective, the cloud industries in each city are diverse, and among the top ten industries with growth rates, traditional industries occupy 8 seats, such as radio and television, cultural tourism and automobiles are in the initial stage of cloud use, and the "cloud use" is significant The growth rate exceeded 400%. It is not difficult to see that digital technology is going deep into the physical field, helping the industry to achieve transformation and upgrading.
From a regional perspective, Shanghai, Beijing, and Guangdong occupy high positions, while the Northeast region is also gaining momentum. Old industrial bases such as Jilin and Heilongjiang are ushering in "digital changes." Jilin actively promotes the development of "digital Jilin". Heilongjiang Province also performed well during the epidemic, and launched a "health code" with the most service functions.
The report also found that cloud usage in each month of the first half of 2020 was significantly higher than the same period last year. Among them, cloud usage in February increased by more than 90%, much higher than other months in the first half. Reflecting that cloudification and digitization are rigid needs during the epidemic, the demand for digital applications such as "health codes", remote office, and online education has surged, greatly increasing the use of cloud resources.
Among them, the Tencent Health Code has now covered 900 million people, with 15 billion person-times of the code, and 44 billion visits, which provides accurate and reliable big data support for the needs of enterprises to resume work and resume production.
In terms of telecommuting, in order to ensure the resumption of work, from January 29 to February 6, the Tencent meeting has been expanding resources every day. The average daily expansion of cloud hosts is close to 15,000, and the total expansion of more than 100,000 clouds in 8 days The host computer involves a total of over one million cores of computing resources.
Under the double overweight of new infrastructure and the epidemic, cloud volume for education, automobiles, medical care, e-commerce, and cultural tourism led the growth, and the entire industry was actively moving to the cloud. The accelerated integration of the Internet and industry has not only provided effective support for the resumption of work and school, but also played an important role in economic reconnection and recovery.
The digital index of 11 major urban agglomerations accounted for more than 70%, and the urban agglomeration became a new growth driver
In 2019, the total digital China index growth rate continued to remain at a high level of 73.2%, representing the continuous growth of China's digital level. Among them, the 11 major urban agglomerations accounted for about half of the national cities, but the digital index accounted for more than 70%.
On the whole, the Pearl River Delta urban agglomeration driven by dual-core Guangzhou and Shenzhen has the highest degree of digitization, which is much higher than other fraternal urban agglomerations. The Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and Yangtze River Delta are also accelerating steadily. The report mainly studies the digital industry, digital culture and digital government affairs of urban agglomerations.
In terms of digital industry, more than half of the urban agglomerations have grown faster than 100%. Among them, the Pearl River Delta, Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and Yangtze River Delta urban agglomerations are the most advanced. The digitalization of industries in education, healthcare, and life services is growing rapidly. It has become an important driving force for economic growth.
In terms of digital culture, the Yangtze River Delta has the largest total amount of urban agglomerations, and has become a key gathering area for the development of digital culture in China. Taking Shanghai as an example, Shanghai is firmly in the first-tier city of e-sports, accelerating the establishment of a global e-sports capital, and driving the growth of related industries such as live broadcasting, transportation, tourism, and the development of urban cultural brands. The 2020 League of Legends Global Finals will be held in Shanghai. The report shows that in 2020, Shanghai's e-sports industry will generate revenues of 3.63 billion yuan in other areas.
In terms of digital government affairs index, the Pearl River Delta takes the lead, taking the case of Guangdong Province in Guangdong as an example. As of June 2020, there have been 62.91 million real-name registered users, achieving 1,226 high-frequency people’s livelihood issues at their fingertips, and 83% of issues running zero .
In addition to the rapid development of the Pearl River Delta, Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and Yangtze River Delta urban agglomerations, it is worth mentioning that thanks to the progressive demonstration and radiating role of urban agglomerations, the digitalization process of fourth- and fifth-tier cities has pressed the "fast forward button." The Chengdu-Chongqing urban agglomeration has been catching up and surpassing significantly in recent years, with a year-on-year growth rate of 79.4%.
Among them, cities such as Mianyang, Nanchong, and Yibin have accelerated their pace of development, with an index growth rate exceeding 100%. Compared with last year's situation where the growth rate was lower than that of the first, second and third tier cities, this year's fourth and fifth tier cities have shown a trend of accelerated development, and the phenomenon of digital stratification is improving day by day.
Urban agglomerations have gradually become a new driving force for economic growth, and speeding up the construction of urban agglomerations is an inevitable choice. Industry insiders also said that the greatest structural potential for future economic growth is the development of metropolitan areas and urban agglomerations, and urban agglomerations will become a "new outlet" for China's economic growth. The construction of urban agglomerations can provide 0.5 to 1 percentage point of growth momentum for economic growth each year, which will not only respond to the impact of the epidemic, but will also provide strong support for medium-speed and high-quality development for a long period of time in the future.
As said by the Vice President of Tencent Group and Dean of Tencent Research Institute, Si Xiao, Digital Priority puts digitalization from the selected position to the overall preferred position, and is fully organizing and developing our economic life with digital means to release data elements. The greatest value.
In order to understand digitization from a more diversified perspective, Tencent Research Institute and Peking University Guanghua School of Management launched the "Future Economic Joint Research Program" at the meeting. On the one hand, it focused on the "digitalization process of the Chinese economy": further mining and utilization of the index Data is used to gain insight into the digital development status of various industries in various regions, and then explore the digital upgrade path; on the other hand, focus on "business management practices in the process of digital transformation": the two parties will jointly carry out research on corporate management and innovation practices with Chinese characteristics. Help Chinese companies to accelerate their march into the digital age and explore new business forms, new models and new kinetic energy for the future economy and society.
Professor Liu Hongju from the Guanghua School of Management of Peking University said, “Although the digital transformation strategies of different companies should be differentiated, the'stones of other mountains can be used to attack the jade'. The practice of typical companies can be refined and summarized, which will help the entire industry to absorb Lessons learned to speed up the march into the digital age."
With the gradual improvement and control of the domestic epidemic situation and the full implementation of the "new infrastructure" measures for the national economy, "digital first" will become an important engine for economic development, effectively promoting the accelerated development of the industrial Internet, and enriching people's digital cultural life and Consumption continues to promote the modernization of the country's governance capabilities, spawning the emergence and development of more new business forms and models such as the cloud economy, the home economy, the small shop economy, and the store economy, which together constitute a new driving force for economic development.
