In terms of scope, the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is colossal as it involves connecting 70 countries all over land-locked Asia and, this time around, China is putting emphasis on sustainable development as the way forward. The country’s top economic planner revealed that they will promote the green development of the Belt and Road, strengthening international cooperation on the issue. To do that, they are deploying a host of applications using smart technology.
The BRI has a long-term goal of enhancing regional connectivity in Asia. The timetable is set to finish by 2049 to coincide with the centennial of the People’s Republic of China’s founding. The date target remains. What’s changed is the planners are incorporating green development this time around.
China aims to enhance cooperation in multiple areas with the countries along the Belt and Road by 2025 and form a green development pattern for the initiative by 2030. That’s according to a guideline issued by the National Development and Reform Commission and three other relevant departments.
To make such a sustainable approach to development, China hopes to deploy its green developers. The cooperation on clean energy will be deepened as China encourages its solar and wind power companies to “go global.” That way, the guideline stipulates it will promote technological cooperation in areas including:
- renewable energy
- advanced nuclear power
- smart grids
- hydrogen energy
Meanwhile, new-energy vehicles and smart transportation plans will be promoted along the Belt and Road. Plus, the development momentum of China-Europe freight trains will be consolidated, and green logistics will be advanced, it disclosed.
For its part, China will continuously optimise the trade structure and vigorously develop trade in green products featuring high-quality, high-tech and high-added-value, it added. That means keeping an eye on key planetary issues. Collaboration on coping with climate change and green finance will also be stepped up, the guideline said.
Using smart technology is a logical choice for China as that would enable more efficient use of energy. Already, many of Chian’s mega-cities are transforming into smart cities to manage power consumption and make use of emerging technologies to the fullest.
By definition, SMART technology means “Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology”. As such, this technology is used to provide cognitive awareness to objects, by making use of advanced technologies like the Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning and Big Data.
For instance, smart grid technology infuses a better generation of electric power and an efficient way for transmission and distribution of this power. Due to its versatility, it can be more easily installed and required less space as compared to traditional grids.
Digital transformation has indeed defined China’s growth. It has provided the means for the Asian nation to grow at an enormous pace. It’s no surprise smart technology has produced a massive change in just about every sector of China’s society. Where farmers rely on a slew of workers years ago, today they’re relying on less with smart agriculture.
Moreover, China is showing how digital adoption can change the way we do things in the world. The recent 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing is one key example. There, smart technology has allowed an AI translator to allow people with hearing deficiencies to follow the games. The online icon can translate updates of the games into sign language in real-time as reported on OpenGov Asia.

Tote Board (Singapore Totalisator Board), a statutory board of the Ministry of Finance has contributed $6 million over three years to improve Singapore’s social ecosystem’s future readiness, partnering with the Lee Kuan Yew Centre for Innovative Cities (LKYCIC) and the Institute of Policy Studies (IPS) to encourage action-oriented, evidence-based futures solutions.
A total of $3 million will be directed towards the new “Future-Ready Society Impact Fund,” which will bring together community partners from the People-Private-Public sectors to collaborate on solutions for a future-ready social ecosystem.
Future research will inform these solutions, which will be co-designed with partners and driven by the community. Tharman Shanmugaratnam, Senior Minister and Coordinating Minister for Social Policies established the Fund.
The Future-Ready Society Impact Fund promotes the piloting of innovative solutions that have the potential to improve Singapore’s social ecology. This could include new or different answers to society’s terrible issues, complex social quandaries, or emerging societal requirements on the horizon.
The goal is to broaden the range of proven and validated solutions that can be quickly deployed in the different possible alternative future situations that may emerge. The pilots will be co-created and co-driven by residents and community partners.
The Knowledge Partnership programme is a crucial enabler that supports the Future-Ready Society Impact Fund. This includes futures-oriented research and knowledge development led by LKYCIC, with the purpose of identifying possible gaps and areas for action in the realm of the future.
Also, the Knowledge Partnership will allow for in-depth research in the following two subject areas, resulting in the discovery of viable ideas to be launched through the Future-Ready Impact Fund. The partnership’s thematic focus will evolve in response to the learning from future research and action-oriented future solutions.
This subject intends to investigate how to better support vulnerable groups in Singapore by encouraging the community to come together to develop a bigger network of support around these persons and by building resilient families to serve as trustworthy sources of support for vulnerable individuals. Potential pilots could include new ways of mobilising community assistance and providing social care, as well as broader policies that promote economic inclusion, social cohesion, and social mobility.
This issue will explore the future of civic involvement and how citizens’ views can be effectively integrated into the government process in a more equitable, effective, consistent, and constructive manner. With the advancement of digital technologies and interactive platforms, citizens may now more easily voice their opinions and politicians can better understand public mood.
Interactive platforms have enabled citizens to engage in dialogue with their peers, fostering vibrant online communities centred around shared interests and values. This digital connectivity has created virtual spaces where individuals can connect, collaborate, and exchange ideas, leading to the formation of online communities and movements that amplify collective voices and promote social change.
The ease with which citizens can voice their opinions through digital platforms has also increased transparency in public discourse. It has become more difficult for governments, organisations, and institutions to ignore or suppress public sentiment, as digital conversations and feedback can quickly gain traction and reach a wide audience. This has prompted a greater level of accountability and responsiveness from decision-makers, who are increasingly compelled to listen to the voices of citizens and address their concerns.
To be future-ready, new kinds of civic involvement must be imagined and led, driven by the following principles: inclusion, transparency, and trust. Alternative methods of bringing citizens together to participate in civic processes and engage in collective deliberation to broaden the common ground should be considered as potential pilots.

The Creating Helpful Incentives to Produce Semiconductors CHIPS and Science Act of 2022 was successfully approved with the goal of fostering American manufacturing, supply chains, and national security. It also includes provisions to invest in research and development. The ultimate aim is to establish the United States as a frontrunner in key areas such as nanotechnology, clean energy, quantum computing, and artificial intelligence.
The CHIPS Act includes a component referred to as the International Technology Security and Innovation (ITSI) fund, which allocates USD$ 100 million per year to the Secretary of State over the next five years, this amount is intended to fund the programme that promotes global security in key technology sectors.
The fund’s priorities place significant emphasis on the semiconductor industry, alongside the development and implementation of secure information and communication technologies (ICT). Various bureaus within the Department of State are now allocating ITSI funding towards programs that specifically target the enhancement of resiliency and security in ICT and semiconductor supply chains.
In addition to the development and adoption of secure Information Communication Technologies (ICT), the semiconductor industry has become the primary funding priority. Moving forward, various bureaus within the Department of State will prioritise ITSI funding for programs that promote resiliency and security in ICT and semiconductor supply chains.
President Biden emphasised that semiconductors play an indispensable role in various aspects such as smartphones, the Internet, cars, the electric grid, national security, NASA’s Moon mission, and most notably, the computer which has become an essential daily tool for conducting our activities.
As the economy expands and the complexity of technology increases, the demand for semiconductors is rising along with it. Simple consumer goods like calculators require just a single chip, but the latest electric vehicles rely on a multitude of thousands of chips.
The impact and reach of semiconductors extend far beyond the realms of economics and science, they are also permeating into the vast landscape of the consumer-goods sector. Semiconductors find their relevance in an array of products and devices that enhance our daily lives, ranging from wearable technology to household appliances and entertainment systems. Their pervasive presence and contribution to the consumer goods sector underscore their significance in powering the seamless functionality, connectivity, and innovation that define our modern lifestyle.
Furthermore, semiconductors that can be applied also to cutting-edge computer chips are considered “dual-use goods,” meaning they have applications in both civilian and military products. Today, a significant number of advanced semiconductors can be found in warfighting technologies and weapons modelling systems.
However, the supply chain for the most advanced semiconductors is currently characterised by its fragility and vulnerability to disruption. The semiconductor industry has gravitated towards a limited number of chip foundries, predominantly situated in a small number of countries. Additionally, only a limited number of companies possess the capability to fabricate semiconductors or engage in their manufacturing. This situation highlights the challenges faced in ensuring a robust and reliable supply chain for advanced semiconductors.
Semiconductors play a dual role as both vital components of the international economy and intricate products that are challenging to manufacture. Establishing resilience within the semiconductor supply chain is imperative for ensuring global economic security. Recognising this critical need, the ITSI Fund, which provides a substantial USD$ 500 million, aims to finance dedicated projects aimed at collaborating with international partners and allies. This collective effort seeks to bolster the stability and reliability of the semiconductor supply chain, fostering economic security on a global scale.

Cybersecurity risk management is essential in the current digital environment to safeguard sensitive data, prevent data breaches, and mitigate financial and reputational losses. It helps protect against cyber threats, protects data privacy, and maintains confidence and trust in digital systems and services.
Effective cybersecurity risk management also ensures regulatory compliance, reduces operational disruptions, and enables organisations to proactively respond to emergent threats in an ever-changing threat landscape.
With this, the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) and the local government units (LGUs) involved in the pilot run of the Community-Based Monitoring System (CBMS) in 2021 recently initiated a series of data turnover ceremonies, for which training was provided to safeguard the CBMS data. Recently, the Community-Based Statistics Service, in collaboration with the Data Protection and Security Unit (DPSU) of the Legal Service, conducted Cybersecurity Risk Management Training.
LGU personnel from the municipal governments of San Gabriel (La Union), Sual (Pangasinan), Santa Maria (Isabela), Samal (Bataan), Baybay (Leyte), and Bayugan (Agusan del Sur) participated in the training. PSA officials and CBMS representatives from regional and provincial agencies were also present.
This capacity development initiative is part of the PSA’s commitment to ensuring that all CBMS data collected from households are managed and protected appropriately. With the potential occurrence of cybersecurity threats that could compromise sensitive data, it is crucial to equip LGU personnel with the knowledge and skills necessary to identify, assess, and mitigate such risks. Management of cybersecurity hazards and organisational security measures were the focus of this training session.
Atty Eliezer Ambatali, Director III and Data Preservation Officer of the PSA emphasised the need for technical expertise to guarantee the preservation of CBMS data at the local level. The richness and utility of CBMS data are valuable contributions to the goal of creating more progressive and empowered communities across the nation.
Having cybersecurity risk management in the Philippines offers several benefits. It aids in the protection of vital infrastructure, sensitive government data, and personal information. It promotes economic development by fostering a secure digital environment for businesses and increases investor confidence.
It also aids in the prevention of cybercrimes, promotes trust in online transactions, and bolsters the nation’s cybersecurity posture against evolving threats. Effective cybersecurity risk management ultimately contributes to the resilience and stability of the digital ecosystem in the Philippines.
The Philippine Postal Corporation (PHLPost) has reaffirmed its commitment to expedite the delivery of PhilIDs to Filipinos who have registered with the Philippine Identification System (PhilSys) under its newly appointed Postmaster General (PMG) and Chief Executive Officer, Luis D. Carlos.
National Statistician and Civil Registrar General, PMG and CEO Carlos, as well as PSA Undersecretary Claire Dennis S. Mapa, emphasised the need for sustained close collaboration and coordinated efforts for PhilID delivery across the country, particularly in Geographically Isolated and Disadvantaged Areas (GIDA).
Delivery issues like unclaimed Return-to-Sender (RTS) PhilIDs, including those for PhilID holders who have moved, are being addressed by the PSA and PHLPost. The delivery of PhilIDs, according to the PHLPost, is of the utmost importance, and local postmasters will cooperate more closely with the PSA’s 86 provincial field offices.
The PHLPost has now sent 30,160,674 of the 37,021,698 PhilIDs that the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas sent out for distribution to Filipinos who are registered on PhilSys nationwide.
In the meantime, the PSA Field Offices continue to provide ePhilIDs to enrolled individuals via house-to-house and plaza-type distribution methods.

The National Development Council (NDC) recently briefed Premier Chen Chien-jen on the programme’s Key Talent Cultivation and Recruitment status. The premier instructed the NDC to establish Talent Taiwan, a national one-stop service dedicated to removing barriers from the work and living environments of foreign professionals in Taiwan, encouraging them to stay for a longer period and contribute more significantly to the country. This will help the industry remain competitive.
Premier Chen urged the NDC to work with relevant ministries and agencies to actively promote three main strategies: cultivating domestic digital talent, recruiting key international talent, and deepening bilingual capability and international perspective to carry out President Tsai Ing-wen’s policy commitment to improve the cultivation and recruitment of digital and bilingual talent.
Organisations and industries must improve the development and hiring of digital and bilingual talent if they want to remain competitive, meet market demands, and be ready for the future. It fosters international cooperation, encourages innovation, embraces technological improvements, improves customer experience, stimulates economic growth, and secures future readiness.
According to the premier, the ministries and agencies’ combined efforts have already produced noticeable outcomes, and they should continue stepping up their promotion of the initiative to improve Taiwan’s talent pool both qualitatively and quantitatively.
The premier went on to say that developing bilingual and digital talent will help Taiwan’s industries modernise and become more competitive in the international market. Taiwan urgently needs high-calibre individuals with a global perspective, abilities in digital technology, and knowledge of international communication to meet the challenges of a quickly changing post-COVID-19 global economy to maintain vigorous economic growth.
Premier Chen went on to say that to better entice overseas experts, the government has actively supported a variety of industrial policies and associated talent recruiting initiatives, loosened laws and regulations, and improved Taiwan’s quality of life. The number of foreign professionals living in Taiwan increased by 8,883 in 2022, marking the largest yearly growth in ten years.
Since the Act for the Recruitment and Employment of Foreign Professionals went into effect in February 2018, a total of 6,571 Employment Gold Cards have been given to foreign professionals as of the end of 2022. This has made it easier to hire top talent from Silicon Valley startups and other industries around the world.
On the other hand, Premier Chen was also informed of version 1.5 of the government’s next-generation anti-fraud policy guidelines by the National Communications Commission, Financial Supervisory Commission, Ministry of Justice, and Ministry of the Interior.
The premier stated that new guidelines, which have been upgraded from version 1.0, will proactively address the issue by recognising, preventing, intercepting, and penalising fraud. The prime minister urged relevant ministries and agencies to expedite the scheduled implementation of freshly updated strategies and initiatives.
In terms of detecting fraud, the premier stated that all efforts will be directed at education initiatives to improve public knowledge and alertness. To avoid fraud, the government is collaborating with the business sector to block scams, such as by preventing overseas scammers from spoofing caller IDs or by alerting customers when they get calls from international phone numbers.
Premier Chen emphasised that the government has demonstrated its commitment to combating fraud by recently approving draught amendments to the Criminal Code and four other fraud-related legal statutes: the Human Trafficking Prevention Act, the Personal Data Protection Act, the Money Laundering Control Act, and the Securities Investment Trust and Consulting Act.

The Thailand Science, Research and Innovation (TSRI) agency has joined forces with the World Bank to enhance national innovation policies and foster productivity growth in Thailand. Conducting a Policy Effectiveness Review (PER), the partnership between the Thailand Science, Research and Innovation (TSRI) agency and the World Bank aims to evaluate the implementation of Thailand’s innovation policies, with a specific focus on the private sector’s science, technology, and innovation initiatives.
The review will involve a thorough analysis of Thailand’s current science, technology and innovation policy instruments. The primary objective is to align these policies with the specific needs and requirements of the country in these domains, ensuring their effectiveness and relevance. By undertaking this review, the TSRI and the World Bank seek to enhance the effectiveness of Thailand’s innovation ecosystem and foster sustainable economic development through targeted policy interventions.
A report from World Bank cited that East Asia development will underscore the pivotal role of innovation in pushing a sustained economic recovery. Nevertheless, when it comes to innovation, several countries in the region, including Thailand, fall behind the frontrunners in this field. Thailand is positioned within the second cluster, alongside Malaysia, Vietnam, and Mongolia, with Malaysia being the closest to the leading group.
Associate Professor Dr Pattamawadee Pochanukul, the President of TSRI, expressed that the collaboration between TSRI and the World Bank is intended to facilitate knowledge transfer and the exchange of ideas, particularly focusing on the analysis of science, research, and innovation policy instruments in Thailand. The outcome could help Thailand to create relevant mechanisms and technology, science, and innovation measurement, which can espouse the innovation capabilities of the Thai private sector at a larger scope. “This is the key factor in increasing Thailand’s economic competitiveness.”
Based on existing national innovation system research, innovation performance in Thailand is hindered by several factors, including the skills gap, characterised by a scarcity of technical workforce, inadequate collaboration among different government agencies, limited scientific output, and weak connections between firms and research centres, poses a significant challenge.
Furthermore, although imported intermediate inputs and technology are accessible, there is a notable absence of systematic mechanisms for firms to absorb and apply technology effectively. Access to finance is also identified as the primary constraint for growth among small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
In order to stimulate innovation, policymakers should give precedence to specific policies, considering the varying technological capabilities of the private sector within the country. These capabilities exhibit substantial disparities between large firms with international connections and small domestic enterprises.
Cecile Thioro Niang, the Practice Manager for Finance, Competitiveness, and Innovation for East Asia and Pacific at the World Bank, believes that innovation holds the potential to propel Thailand towards attaining high-income status. This partnership is expected to contribute valuable insights into the development of effective innovation policies that drive sustainable productivity growth.
Moreover, considering the risks and costs associated with climate change for Thailand and its neighbouring countries, prioritising innovation and the adoption of new technologies becomes imperative. Implementing cleaner and more energy-efficient production methods will be crucial in reducing carbon emissions.
TSRI will finance this technical assistance programme through the utilisation of the World Bank’s Reimbursable Advisory Services (RAS) framework. Within the framework of RAS programmes, the World Bank collaborates with middle and high-income countries upon their request, offering advisory services, analytical support, and implementation assistance to address significant development challenges.

Digital transformation is a journey that requires continuous leadership, strategic vision, and a commitment to change. It involves transforming the entire organisation’s culture, processes, and methods of working to embrace the digital era and maintain a competitive edge in a rapidly changing business environment.
The Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party and the State Council issued “Opinions on Building a Data Basic System to Better Play the Role of Data Elements” in December 2022. Data elements are a crucial indicator for driving digital transformation, and maximising the value of digital elements during the digital transformation process has become a central concern.
With this, the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology’s (CAICT) foundation plan is in its early stages and is focused on digital transformation supply. This is to help the growth of industries related to digital transformation, speed up the development of the data factor market, and make the most of the important value of data as a production factor.
In addition, the “Panorama of High-Quality Digital Transformation Products and Services (2023)” collection was recently released and has gotten a lot of attention and involvement from the industry. At the moment, more than 200 businesses have taken part in work linked to this.
On the other hand, the CAICT foundation plan officially launched the collection of “typical cases” of high-quality digital transformation in 2023. This was done to give digital suppliers and buyers more information about best practices and benchmarking. “Typical Cases,” asks both the supply side and the demand side of digital change for examples of good ways to use digital technology or methods. Changes in the way and means of running the country.
For this set of “typical cases,” applicants must fill out the 2023 Application Form for High-quality Digital Transformation Typical Cases of the CAICT’s foundation programme. This form asks for basic information about the lead applicant, the declared products, and the basic results. The first group of shortlisted cases will be announced at the Digital Transformation Conference in July 2023, while the shortlisted cases for the whole year will be announced at the annual meeting at the end of December 2023.
Further, China’s digital transformation has seen stunning progress and has emerged as a significant strategic objective for the country. The nation has emerged as a global leader in digital innovation and adoption due to its large population, technological developments, and strong government support.
Also, the government’s active engagement in defining the digital landscape is one of the primary drivers of digital transformation in China. The Chinese government has put in place several laws and measures to encourage digitalisation across industries.
China’s digital transition is also being powered by the country’s flourishing tech industry. Several IT titans have pioneered breakthrough digital solutions and services in the country. E-commerce, mobile payments, and social media platforms have grown rapidly, changing customer behaviour and enabling new business models.
China has made tremendous advances in emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), big data analytics, and cloud computing. These technologies are being used to optimise operations, improve efficiency, and improve decision-making across industries such as healthcare, finance, manufacturing, and transportation.
China’s economy, society, and way of life have all been revolutionised by the advent of digital technology. It has sparked innovation, raised productivity, and increased China’s businesses’ overall competitiveness on a national and international scale.
