China-Kazakhstan Joint Construction of the “Digital Silk Road” under the Background of COVID-19: Opportunities, Challenges and Paths
( Pp. 112-118)

The outbreak of the new crown epidemic has had a serious impact on the social and economic development of China and Kazakhstan, and the power of digital technology has become prominent in the process of fighting against the pandemic and recovering the economy. The pandemic has created new opportunities for the development of the global digital economy, and also provides a new opportunity for China and Kazakhstan to jointly build the “Digital Silk Road”. Meanwhile, under the background of the pandemic, China and Kazakhstan face many challenges to jointly build the “Digital Silk Road”, including political risks, digital governance and security, third country interference and other obstacles. In the future, China and Kazakhstan can start cooperation by improving the risk assessment system, strengthening the level of digital governance, and strengthening China-Kazakhstan strategic mutual trust, so as to accelerate the construction of the “Digital Silk Road” between China and Kazakhstan.
