China’s ascent in the digital economy is poised to reshape its workforce and bolster economic vitality, according to Denis Simon, a U.S. academic. In an interview with China Global Television Network (CGTN), Simon emphasized that China’s strategic government policies are pivotal in fostering digital innovation and transitioning the workforce from manual labor to higher-value roles reliant on “brainpower.”
The government’s role in cultivating digital infrastructure and supportive policies underscores its commitment to advancing economic resilience and competitiveness. This transformation signifies a significant shift towards a more dynamic and technology-driven economic landscape in China.
