Building a digital China is an important engine for promoting China's modernization in the digital age and a strong support for building new national competitive advantages. As the main body of economic and social development, cities are important carriers for implementing national strategic arrangements. The high-quality development of digital cities is an important measure to implement the strategic arrangements of a digital China.

The 2023 China Digital City Competitiveness Research Report analyzes the comprehensive strength of digital cities and the level of digitalization in various fields from six dimensions: information infrastructure, digital economy, digital governance, livelihood services, digital innovation, and digital low-carbon. It provides a reference for the digital transformation and construction of cities in China.
