Digitalization drives economic development in China

Digitalization across diversified industries has becoming an important force to drive the country's economic development.

From alcohol, seafood and agricultural products to toys, books and shoes, almost every industry is finding ways to make progress in industrial transformation and upgrading in China.

The added value of China's digital economy reached 35.8 trillion yuan ($5.13 trillion) in 2019, accounting for 36.2 percent of the GDP, according to a white paper released by the China Academy of Information Technology in early July.
