“Digital Silk Road (DSR)” is the digital prong of China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), which seeks to strengthen infrastructure, trade, and investment links between China and the rest of the world. While many Western observers emphasize the data security risk of the DSR, the DSR initiative does help the unmet needs of digital connectivity in emerging markets, from online education in Africa, smart health in the Middle East, to local entrepreneurs in ASEAN countries. The DSR – at least the global connectivity concept behind it – is an important initiative for an increasingly fractured tech world. All global stakeholders must cooperate to ensure that digital innovation continues to serve as the growth engine for the world.
