China is prioritizing the development of the digital economy and aims to build digital industry clusters with international competitiveness. The country plans to expand its digital economy, with the added value of core industries accounting for 10% of GDP by 2025. These clusters will focus on accelerating innovation in areas such as information technology, artificial intelligence, and blockchain. Currently, digital industry clusters are mainly located in the United States, China, and Europe. China's clusters are concentrated in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, the Yangtze River Delta, and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. Building these clusters will help China seize opportunities in the global digital economy, promote economic restructuring, and narrow regional development gaps. However, challenges such as trade barriers and insufficient investment in innovation need to be addressed to improve China's global competitiveness in the digital industry.

China's progress in green and low-carbon development can contribute to global cooperation, as reflected in the surging export of environmentally friendly products. [Extracted from the article]

The article discusses the challenges faced by owners of new-energy vehicles (NEVs) in cold weather, as the range of these vehicles decreases by about 40 percent in winter. This has led to some NEV owners expressing a preference for traditional fuel vehicles (TFVs). However, in line with the government's green development scheme, several auto companies in China have already stopped TFV production and plan to end TFV sales in the coming years. Despite China's dominance in NEV production and sales, the technology is still less mature than that of TFVs, and improvements are needed to address the range issue. The article emphasizes the need for a calculated approach to phasing out TFVs, as the auto industry undergoes a new round of technological revolution. The share of NEVs in the Chinese auto market has reached 30.8 percent, and the phase-out of TFVs will depend on the speed of technological breakthroughs in the NEV sector.

THIS WEEK If technological breakthroughs can be made in the next 65 years at a speed comparable to that of the past 65 years, future technological development will be even faster, famed American cryptographer and scholar Whitfield Diffie said during a session on artificial intelligence (AI) at the Boao Forum for Asia (BFA) Annual Conference on April 19. The term artificial intelligence was coined in 1956 by John McCarthy, a researcher who later went on to establish the AI labs at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Stanford University. He believes that the technological bottleneck is not an issue faced by just one or two countries, but rather one that finds its roots in the entire AI system and at the core of AI technology development.
