Regarding national digital economy, in addition to focusing on digital economy in the political system, it is necessary to promote digital economy in enterprises, in the whole society and develop digital economy and data economy.
Regarding S&T and innovation, national strategic technologies must be focused on resources to master and develop into specific products, especially artificial intelligence, big data, robots and automation, biology and biomedicine, materials and energy, semiconductor chips, network and quantum security, unmanned aerial vehicles, marine, ocean and underground technology.
At the same time, special attention must be paid to ensuring network security, information security, data security and national digital sovereignty.
