The new economy represented by the digital economy not only guarantees normal life needs during the epidemic, but also plays an important role in urban management, transportation and logistics, and production.
New forms of digital economy further release energy
Talking about the impact of the current epidemic on China's economy, Lian Weiliang, deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission, said that the epidemic has a major impact on the consumption of services such as transportation, cultural tourism, hotels, restaurants, and entertainment. But at the same time, the digital economy and new business formats such as online shopping, online food ordering, and online entertainment are very active.
Since the implementation of epidemic control measures, the online "home economy" has entered a rising period. Previously tepid online education, online shopping, remote collaborative office and other online services and models have allowed users to have a more direct experience. They are subtly cultivating and transferring users’ purchasing habits, which will bring more business opportunities. Let more digital applications and services stand out.
The development of modern logistics systems, remote office, online medical services and other new areas has met people's production and living needs during the epidemic, reduced the flow of people, reduced the risk of epidemic spread, and made important contributions to stable economic growth. At the same time, it has alleviated the stagnation of social functions under the epidemic situation, demonstrated the vitality and advantages of the digital economy, and highlighted the value and potential of the digital economy.
The continuous development of the digital economy under the epidemic benefited from China’s long-term accumulated technological advantages, especially big data, artificial intelligence, 5G and other technologies that have effectively promoted economic transformation.

Lost the East, reap the mulberry. Although the offline service industry that relies on passenger flow has been greatly affected in the short term, the continuous development of new formats and models of the digital economy reflects the huge potential of the Chinese market. The trend of consumption upgrades continues and there is enough space to ensure the Chinese economy The fundamentals of long-term good and high-quality growth remain unchanged.
Enterprises seize the opportunity of digital transformation
Since the outbreak of the epidemic, temporary isolation has not blocked people's needs in life, and they have felt the charm of digital technology and the digital economy. And Chinese digital technology companies are also participating in epidemic prevention and control and economic construction with digitization and intelligence through flexible and diverse innovative technology methods, bringing people the light and confidence to break out of the siege in the haze of new crown pneumonia.
If SARS in 2003 opened the door to the Internet and digital industrialization, then today's new crown epidemic may become a key node in stimulating the digital transformation of small and medium-sized enterprises and the acceleration of industrial digitalization. Under the influence of the epidemic, more and more small and medium-sized enterprises have also begun to realize the importance of digitalization.
Under the pressure of the epidemic, many companies are looking for ways to digitally transform and innovate. On the one hand, starting from the key needs of customers and the market, grasping the key elements that promote business growth, and realizing product and service innovation through new technologies, new models, and new channels. On the other hand, relying on digital comprehensive analysis of the enterprise's existing architecture and applications, clarifying the business's dependence on the system and the system, formulating an overall effective, meticulous and orderly migration plan, and proceeding in an orderly manner.
Whoever can grasp the newly emerging needs will grasp the key to the new era, transform in adversity, and will gain a greater market share when "spring" arrives.
As CCTV’s previous comment said: “At present, the Chinese are still fighting the epidemic nervously, and the economy will be affected to some extent in the short term. However, the rapid development of the digital economy will largely hedge the negative impact of the epidemic. A huge Chinese market is still there, and the fundamentals of China's long-term economic improvement and high-quality growth have not changed. China is confident and capable of overcoming the epidemic and maintaining long-term stable economic development."
