中国与中亚国家共建数字丝绸之路:基础、挑战与路径

中国与中亚国家共建数字丝绸之路对“一带一路”建设和提升中亚国家现代化发展水平意义重大。中亚国家数字经济发展潜力巨大,各国纷纷出台数字经济发展战略,电子商务发展方兴未艾,电子政务能力不断提升,但各国数字经济发展差距较大。中国与中亚国家共建数字丝绸之路有着良好的基础,双方已建立起较为稳定持久的互信关系,都提出了数字经济发展战略,已有多层次合作机制,中亚国家对双方合作的内在动力较强。但双方合作也面临不少挑战,中亚国家数字基础设施建设较为薄弱、数字人才紧缺,网络安全和地缘政治风险亦不断增加。中国和中亚国家可从数字基础设施建设、数字治理、电子商务、数字人才培养等路径入手展开合作,因国施策,共建数字丝绸之路。

China-Central Asian Countries Joint Endeavor on the Digital Silk Road:Basis,Challenges and Paths

The Digital Silk Road jointly built by China and Central Asian countries is of great significance to the Belt and Road Initiative and the modernization of Central Asian countries.Central Asian countries have great potential for the development of digital economy,and many countries have introduced digital economic development strategies.The development of e-commerce is in the ascendant,and the ability of e-government is constantly improving,but there is a wide gap among these countries in the development of digital economy.China and Central Asian countries have good foundations for building the Digital Silk Road:the two sides have established relatively stable and lasting mutual trust relationship,put forward digital economic development strategy and established multi-level cooperation mechanism.However,the two sides also face many challenges in their cooperation as Central Asia is weak in digital infrastructure and is short of digital talents.Moreover,cyber security and geopolitical risks are increasing as well.China can conduct cooperation with Central Asian countries on the basis of their national conditions to build the Digital Silk Road in digital infrastructure construction,digital governance,e-commerce and digital talent training.
