Abstract
This paper aims to provide a thorough examination of the current state, challenges, and potential solutions related to digital village construction, while also anticipating future trends. By delving into the historical progression and current realities of digital rural development in China, the study unveils significant hurdles encountered in advancing rural digitalization. These include inadequate infrastructure, farmers' limited digital proficiency, the need for governance model innovation, and an optimal policy environment. Despite notable achievements in digital village initiatives, significant gaps remain in areas such as regional balance, farmer skill enhancement, and governance innovation. Addressing these issues, the article proposes a range of strategies, including enhancing top-level planning, bolstering infrastructure, elevating farmers' digital skills, reinventing governance models, and refining policy frameworks. Implementing these measures can effectively drive China's digital village development forward, aligning with the broader objectives of rural modernization and integrated urban-rural growth.
