On November 23, Chairman Li Zixue of ZTE Corporation stated at the World Internet Conference and Internet Development Forum that digital technology has become an important starting point for solving anti-epidemic and development issues.
Li Zixue said that thanks to the in-depth application of digital technologies represented by 5G and big data, my country's anti-epidemic and anti-epidemic capabilities have been greatly improved, providing important support for winning the fight against the epidemic. Relying on the big data platform for epidemic prevention and control, we carried out epidemiological and traceability investigations, "tracked" close contacts, and greatly improved the accuracy of prevention and control and screening efficiency. Through "5G+Medical Care", multi-disciplinary and multi-experts provide remote collaborative diagnosis and treatment for critically ill patients. Smart logistics breaks through the congestion points of material circulation to ensure the effective supply of civilian materials, including the emergency deployment of anti-epidemic materials such as medical protective clothing.
"In terms of economic recovery and development, the digital economy has become a key growth engine." Li Zixue said that domestic GDP fell by 1.6% in the first half of the year, but the digital economy still grew by 14.5%. Many companies use digital applications such as remote meetings and online marketing to quickly resume work and production. New business formats such as online consumption and online education continue to emerge, enhancing the resilience of economic development during the epidemic.
Li Zixue believes that the outbreak of the new crown epidemic "forces" various industries to accelerate digital transformation. In March of this year, the central government proposed to speed up the construction of new infrastructure such as 5G. In the "14th Five-Year Plan and 2035 Vision Target Proposals" announced on November 3, it further clearly pointed out the need to "systematic deployment of new infrastructure and speed up the fifth generation of mobile The construction of communications, industrial Internet, big data centers, etc." has promoted my country's digital industrialization and industrial digitalization to a new level. ZTE will focus on the construction of information infrastructure and drive digital transformation from two levels: technology and application. "Digital technology has become a consensus as an important starting point for solving the problem of fighting the epidemic while developing this issue."
