Abstract: Against the backdrop of profound changes in the international landscape, digital space has become one of the crucial sites of competition among major global actors. Stricken by the outbreak of the COVID19 pandemic, the role of digital technology played in economic recovery and social governance has been underpinned. In order to enhance digital capability and discourse power, China and EU have implemented their respective digital strategies with priorities in digital transformation and digital sovereignty. In this context, in September 2020, China and EU announced to build a digital partnership, which can be a major new highlight of ChinaEU cooperation and a new growth point of bilateral relations, symbolizing that ChinaEU digital collaboration has gradually moved on the track of institutionalization. Nevertheless, the cognitive divergence between China and EU on the rules of global digital governance has limited the depth and breadth of this partnership, while the attitude of the US has remained to be one of the main obstacles to the current ChinaEU digital cooperation. The construction of ChinaEU digital partnership has become a common vision and pursuit for both sides. Upholding the principle of extensive consultation, joint contribution and shared benefits, China and EU should bridge differences through dialogue and work together to strengthen digital policy coordination and digital technology cooperation.

摘要： 在国际格局深刻变化的背景下，数字空间成为全球主要行为体竞争的重要领域之一，新冠疫情的暴发更加凸显了数字技术在经济复苏和社会治理方面的重要作用。为提升数字竞争力和话语权，中欧相继出台了各自的数字战略，在数字转型和数字主权上提出了各自战略目标。在此背景下，2020年9月，中欧决定构建数字合作伙伴关系。某种意义上，这是中欧合作的新亮点和双边关系新的增长点，中欧数字合作初步走向机制化轨道。当然，中欧在全球数字治理规则上的认知分歧仍限制了双方数字合作伙伴关系构建的深度和广度，美国因素也是当前中欧数字合作的主要制约因素之一。构建中欧数字合作伙伴关系已经成为双方发展愿景和共同追求，中欧应该秉持共商共建共享的原则，在对话中弥合分歧，加强数字政策协调与数字技术合作。
