What new directions in China's digital economy mean for us all

China is the largest homogenous digital market on Earth: unified by language, culture, and mobile payments. Not only a consumer market of unrivalled size, it's also a vast and hyperactive innovation ecosystem for new technologies. As China's digital economy moves from a consumer-focused phase to an enterprise-oriented one, Chinese companies are rushing to capitalise on ways the newer wave of techβ€”the Internet of Things, AI, blockchain, cloud computing, and data analytics (iABCD)β€”can unlock value for their businesses from non-traditional angles.

In The Digital War, Winston Maβ€”investment professional, capital markets attorney, adjunct professor of digital economy, and bestselling authorβ€”details the profound global implications of this new direction. This includes how Chinese apps for services such as food delivery expand so quickly they surpass their U.S. models within a couple of years, and how the sheer scale and pace of Chinese innovation might lead to an AI arms race in which China and the U.S. vie aggressively for leadership.

  • How China's younger netizens participate in their evolving digital economy as consumers, creators, and entrepreneurs
  • Why Online/Office (OMO, Online-merge-with-Offline) integration is viewed as the natural next step on from the O2O (Online-to-Offline) model used in the rest of the world
  • The ways in which traditional Chinese industries such as retail, banking, and insurance are innovating to stay in the game
  • What emerging markets can learn from China as they leapfrog past the personal computer age altogether, diving straight into the mobile-first economy

Anyone interested in what's next for Chinese digital powerhousesβ€”investors, governments, entrepreneurs, international business playersβ€”will find this an essential guide to what lies ahead as China flexes new digital muscles to create new forms of value and challenge established tech giants across the world.
