China’s massive presence in the digital economy is defned by its focus on big data, artifcial intelligence (AI) and other emerging technologies, digital trade, standards, intellectual property (IP) and innovation. Further, digital governance in China constitutes a signifcant global issue at the intersection of technology and international governance. At the same time, the ongoing technological and trade decoupling between the United States and China may have dimmed the future of the digital economy and high-tech development in China.

The long-awaited Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP’s) 20th National Congress in October 2022 concluded with a norm-breaking third term for President Xi as the party’s general secretary, consolidating unprecedented power among Xi and his loyalists (not seen since Chairman Mao Zedong) in the top leadership positions, which has left more questions and uncertainties for the future of China.

In the context of these latest developments, the Centre for International Governance Innovation (CIGI) organized and hosted a virtual workshop on November 28, 2022, to examine the status and future development of China’s digital governance practices. With experts from Canada, China, Europe, Singapore and the United States, the workshop discussed China’s digital governance practices in three critical areas: data governance, governance of AI and other emerging technologies, and China’s participation in digital trade to shed light on the country’s digital governance and its international implications.
