"The second hurdle is to solve the dilemma of duplicate construction. In the process of digital infrastructure construction, there is a phenomenon of fragmentation, resulting in a huge waste of resources. The third hurdle is a breakthrough in key technologies. The digital economy is currently the most concentrated global research and development, the most active innovation, the most widely used, the largest radiation driving effect of the field, but also the largest field of China's core technology card neck, the need to continuously increase investment, the need to lay a solid foundation for the safety of our digital era through new digital technology.
