In the historical process of informatization driving Chinese path to modernization, China's digital society construction is striding forward.

——Comprehensively promote the inclusiveness of digital public services

Just solving the problem of food for over 1.4 billion people is a significant challenge. There are also issues such as employment, distribution, education, healthcare, housing, elderly care, and childcare, none of which are easy to solve, and the number of people involved in each is astronomical. In the world's largest developing country, solving the problem of imbalanced and insufficient development, the heavy task of reform, development, and stability, the multitude of contradictions, risks, and challenges, and the unprecedented test of governance.

Only in its difficulties, it shows even more courage and perseverance.

They are 84 million new forms of employment workers, and they are also the creators and guardians of a better life in the hearts of General Secretary.

The new employment pattern has the characteristics of flexible employment relationship, fragmented work content, flexible working methods, and Internet based entrepreneurial opportunities. While creating more employment opportunities, it also brings new problems to the protection of the rights and interests of practitioners.

"Some migrant workers, flexible employees, new business type employees and other groups are not included in social security, and there are 'missing insurance', 'out of insurance' and 'broken insurance'." General Secretary Xi Jinping often talks about similar problems.

All regions and departments have effectively transformed the general secretary's concerns into conscious actions, successively introduced support policies, launched heart-warming measures, strengthened the construction of the labor legal system, and made up for the shortcomings of the protection of workers' rights and interests in new employment forms.

"Higher level medical and health services" to protect the health of the whole population——

"The surgery is progressing smoothly with almost no delay!" The patient is in Xinjiang and the doctor is in Hangzhou. In February 2023, Run Run Shaw Hospital affiliated with Zhejiang University School of Medicine completed the first 5G ultra remote robot liver and gallbladder surgery in China. Behind the achievement of "touchscreen accessibility" for medical care in remote areas spanning 5000 kilometers is a vivid portrayal of making it accessible, affordable, and effective for the general public.

In 2016, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council issued the "Healthy China 2030" Plan Outline, setting up special chapters on "Promoting Health Technology Innovation" and "Building a Health Informatization Service System"; In 2018, the General Office of the State Council issued the Opinions on Promoting the Development of "Internet plus Medical Health", making deployment on promoting the in-depth integration of the Internet and medical health; In 2021, the Central Cybersecurity and Information Technology Commission issued the "14th Five Year Plan for National Informatization", which identified "providing inclusive digital healthcare" as an important task for the development of informatization during the "14th Five Year Plan" period······

The urban computing center, along with the block data platform, Internet of Things platform, video network platform, and urban information model platform, together constitute the "one center and four platforms" of the Xiong'an Smart City Center. Among them, the urban information model platform is a key project to practice "synchronous planning and synchronous construction of digital Xiong'an, striving to create intelligent new areas". By establishing a unified information model of urban space in two or three dimensions, a new urban pattern is constructed that accurately maps physical cities and digital cities in the new areas, and integrates virtual and real.

In recent years, various regions have actively built smart cities and effectively improved the modernization level of urban governance. Guangdong and Shenzhen have achieved "comprehensive perception of one image, one number travel to Shenzhen, one click global visibility, integrated operation and linkage, one-stop innovation and entrepreneurship, and one screen intelligent enjoyment of life".
