World internet conference Digital Silk Road Development Forum: Bridging the Digital Divide and Creating Mutual Assistance and Win-Win.

The main topic of the world internet conference Digital Silk Road Development Forum held on April 16th was in the field of cross-border e-commerce. Experts pointed out that there is a digital gap between countries in the field of e-commerce due to their different national conditions, and all the participants are actively offering suggestions on how to bridge the digital gap and shorten the gap in strength, so as to achieve the goal of mutual assistance and win-win.

Zhuang Rui, Executive Dean of university of international business and economics Institute for International Economics, said: "Because ‘ Belt and Road ’ There are many participating countries, and some infrastructure in these countries may not be very good. This infrastructure includes hardware infrastructure and some new infrastructure in the digital field, and these aspects may be backward. "

Experts pointed out that in order to promote the construction of the "Belt and Road", the project of Chinese enterprises to build a "Belt and Road" country was started many years ago.

Zhuang Rui said: "Through the way of development assistance, to help each other build some infrastructure, including information infrastructure, this is what China enterprises are doing, and the China municipal government also actively supports it. Countries around the world can unite to bridge this digital divide. I think the Digital Silk Road Forum is also such an original intention. "

Experts pointed out that economic development is the driving force to bridge the digital divide among countries by promoting cross-border e-commerce cooperation in the "Belt and Road" countries. Cross-border e-commerce has risen rapidly in the world and become the driving force of GDP development in various countries, and the corresponding internationalization standards are also being promoted and formulated. The introduction of these standards is also to better serve the development of cross-border e-commerce.

Chris brown, director of the British-China Business Environment Program of the British Standards Association, said: "I want to describe what kind of cross-border e-commerce standards we need. I think the key points are trust, trust between different countries, trust between manufacturers and consumers, mutual trust in payment systems, mutual trust in legal rules and mutual trust in product quality."
