China’s Digital Transformation: Learnings for the Developing countries

The pandemic outbreak has highlighted the importance of building the digital economy, especially in the global south. Many developing countries and most of the LDCs lag even in terms of basic ICT infrastructure, which is internet access to their population. This situation has led Covid-19 to economically hurt the Global South more than the developed world. In order to revive their adversely impacted industry and trade, developing countries need to revisit their trade and industrial policies with a greater focus on the digital economy.
