Abstract: This article reviews the role of digital technology in the fight against COVID-19 from the outbreak to the resumption of a ‘normal’ way of life, and the development of the digital economy heading toward long-term growth in China. It finds that digital technology empowered the pandemic response strategy in the short term. In the long term, digital technology will serve as a technological foundation for the Industrial Internet of Things and Consumer Internet, and the integrated development of the manufacturing industry and the service sector. New technologies can also offer opportunities for further demand growth and technological innovation. With the support of the government’s ‘digital economy policy’, the long-term development of the digital economy has shown a positive trend.
