Features: informatization is the strategic high ground for current and future national competition. In the future, within the international environment, whether a country, region, province, or even an enterprise can win depends largely on the level of informatization development, including the conditions of information networks, the extent of information resource development, informatization talent, and the informationization support system. This is the strategic high ground of competition. In the future, countries will no longer develop gradually due to regional or technological constraints, and most countries will be pushed to the forefront of global competition. Against this backdrop, various countries have introduced new development strategies. At the beginning of the century, looking around the world, a wave of new technological revolutions marked by informatization surged forward. Informatization and globalization have become the two major trends of world development today. Today, the technological revolution brought by information technology is driving the progress of industrial revolution, ultimately leading to major changes in economic growth models and economic management systems. It will exert increasingly broad and profound impacts on the economy, politics, military, culture, and ideology on a global scale, fundamentally transforming human production methods, lifestyles, and ways of thinking, and ushering humanity into a new era—the information society. No one can be left out of the wave of informatization, and by seizing this opportunity, one can achieve leapfrog development. Therefore, both the "Tenth Five-Year Plan" and the "Report of the 16th National Congress" proposed accelerating China's informatization construction. This book was written against this background. The book is divided into three parts, elaborating on the rich connotations of informatization, its development history, the current state and planning of China's informatization, countermeasures, informatization in various sectors of the national economy, the implementation and key issues of informatization, and more. The author of this book is an expert with extensive research experience and accumulation in this field, possessing rich, accurate, and authoritative materials. The analysis and arguments are both visionary and specific and detailed, with engaging and fluent writing. Therefore, this book is currently the most comprehensive and practical one in its category. It is an invaluable resource for self-study, teaching, and training.
