Brief overview

 

The rapid development of the Asian economy has not only created the East Asian miracle that has attracted the world's attention, but also gradually become the engine of the global economy. It has also promoted the development of regional economic and trade cooperation, represented by the signing and implementation of a series of important cooperation agreements such as the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP), the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP), and the Digital Economy Partnership Agreement (DEPA). In the face of the intensification of international trade protectionism, the development of regional economic and trade cooperation is expected to be further strengthened. Therefore, with the advent of the digital economy era, it is important to examine the digital transformation in China, Asia, and the rest of the world and its implications for the sustainable and inclusive development.
