Digital Government

A digital government is supported by digital technology, the application of which is expected to increase government efficiency.

China has accelerated the progress of building a digital government since 2017. The 19th CPC Central Committee highlighted the goal of creating a digital government at both its fourth and fifth plenary sessions. The 14th Five-year Plan for China's economic and social development sets the task of extensively applying digital technology in government management and services to help re-engineer governance processes, optimize governance model, improve services, and lead to more rational decision-making with greater efficiency.

In June 2022, the State Council issued a document on this subject, aiming to promote extensive application of big data, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and other digital technologies for economic regulation, market control, social governance, public services, and eco-environmental protection, in order to realize precise and smart governance in a sound manner.

Building a digital government is the natural way for China to adapt to the new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation, drive the growth of the digital economy and a digital society, and create a sound digital environment for quicker digitalization. It is a fundamental, leading project for boosting China's strength in cyberspace and digital development. It is also a major measure to introduce new approaches to governance, make breakthroughs in digital governance, and modernize China's system and capacity for governance. It is significant to transforming government functions and building a service-oriented, clean government under the rule of law.

數字政府建設

數字政府建設以數字技術為支撐，實現業務和技術的深度融合，提升政府履職效能。中共十九大以來，中國數字政府建設加速推進。中共十九屆四中全會提出推進數字政府建設，中共十九屆五中全會再次強調加強數字政府建設。《中華人民共和國國民經濟和社會發展第十四個五年規劃和2035年遠景目標綱要》明確提出，提高數字政府建設水平，將數字技術廣泛應用于政府管理服務，推動政府治理流程再造和模式優化，不斷提高決策科學性和服務效率。2022年6月，國務院印發《關于加強數字政府建設的指導意見》。該意見聚焦經濟調節、市場監管、社會管理、公共服務、生態環境保護等政府職能，推動大數據、云計算、人工智能等數字技術的廣泛運用，著力提高政府治理科學化、精細化、智能化水平。

加強數字政府建設是中國適應新一輪科技革命和產業變革趨勢、引領驅動數字經濟發展和數字社會建設、營造良好數字生態、加快數字化發展的必然要求，是建設網絡強國、數字中國的基礎性和先導性工程，是創新政府治理理念和方式、形成數字治理新格局、推進國家治理體系和治理能力現代化的重要舉措，對加快轉變政府職能，建設法治政府、廉潔政府和服務型政府意義重大。
