As digital technologies continue to evolve, societies around the world are experiencing profound transformation. China has been an active participant in this global shift, supported by its large-scale economy and steady progress in technological development. The country has made notable achievements in areas such as smartphone manufacturing, e-commerce, and mobile internet services. At the same time, advancements in information technology innovation, industrial digitization, and the modernization of traditional industries are gradually reshaping various sectors of society.

The country continues to explore opportunities for dialogue and collaboration, sharing its practical experiences while engaging with new ideas from around the world. This program encourages students to reflect on China’s approach to digital transformation, considering both its achievements and its challenges.
