The strength of the Chinese economy and the integration of technology into traditional industries have become important new driving forces of China's economic growth, with digital talents critical to China's digital transformation. To help the government and the industries be more informed about digital talents, the Tsinghua SEM Center for Internet Development and Governance (CIDG) collaborated with LinkedIn to publish the first-ever China Digital Economy Talent Report.

Based on LinkedIn's Economic Graph, the report runs a detailed analysis on Chinese professionals' employment experiences, professional skills, and talent flows over the past three years, and concludes with advice for China's talent strategy as it pertains to digital skills.

President Xi Jinping reported at the 19th CPC National Congress that the real economy is the next-step focus of economic development, and that the integration between the internet, big data, artificial intelligence and the real economy should be strengthened.

Professor Yubo Chen, head of the CIDG noted:

The continuous development of the Chinese economy's digital transformation positions digital talents as the core competency to generate innovation-driven development and company transformation. The digital talents here are not only defined as those with ICT (information and communications technologies) expertise, but trans-disciplinary talents with complementary skills for ICT. More specifically, we categorized digital talents consists into six types according to the various requirements of the transformation of the value chain, which are digital strategy management, deep analysis, research and development, advanced manufacturing, digital operation and digital marketing and conducted systematic research about the status quo and trend of the demand and flow of digital talents in the whole country and in different regions.

Shifting from the age of mobile internet to the age of intelligence, digital technologies continue to promote the evolution of industries beyond ICT, as well as bringing transformative changes to the labor market overall.

To respond to questions such as the number of digital talents and what kinds of talents are in severe shortage, LinkedIn worked with CIDG in a research about Chinese digital talents based on the Economic Graph, which includes talent profile and talent flow trends," said Francis Tsang, Head of International Engineering and Interim President at LinkedIn China. "The research provides government overall suggestions for scientific talent support strategies, which aim to train future-oriented and digital talents that reflect the times."
