With the accelerated development of the" Digital Silk Road ", China has further promoted overseas digital projects and high-tech investment." To promote the construction of the "Digital Silk Road", China has a good industrial foundation and broad market space. According to the data of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China, from 2017 to 2021, China's digital economy will grow from 27 trillion yuan to more than 45 trillion yuan, ranking the second in the world, with a compound annual growth rate of 13.6%.
