Data intelligence technology integrates government affairs data, promotes the digital transformation of governments at all levels, and realizes precision social governance. Digital government is changing the traditional governance models and providing strong support for the modernization of the national governance systems and governance capabilities. Meanwhile it also creates new opportunities, and environments for the development of democratic politics.</p>
<p>The outbreak of COVID-19 in 2020 has strengthened the Chinese government's embrace of "using big data to improve and modernize national governance," and has advanced the development of digital government in a more comprehensive, systematic, and precise manner. This special issue will focus on the use of new technologies and new methods to create a new model of digital government to stimulate discussions and theoretical contributions by the global digital government research community.</p>
