Abstract
Relevance. At present, the asymmetry of regions has become a priority problem in the development of regions in both Russia and China. In Russia, the problem of regional asymmetry is already quite acute and requires the development and implementation of public policy measures aimed at reducing inequality. In China, the unevenness of territorial development also occupies one of the key places in the policy of the country's leadership.
The purpose is explore the use of digital technologies in the development and implementation of government policies to reduce the asymmetry of regional development (using the example of policies to target the poor in China).
Objectives: analyze the policy for targeted assistance to the poor in China, identify the experience of using digital technologies in this policy; determine the necessity and inevitability of the use of digital technologies in the development and implementation of state policy to reduce the asymmetry of regional development.
Methodology. The article uses the tools of analytical, economic, statistical and comparative analysis.
Results. This article examines policies to target the poor in China and shows the benefits and importance of using digital technologies in the design and implementation of policies to reduce regional asymmetries.
Conclusions. To improve the efficiency and effectiveness of asymmetry reduction policies, governments must continue to improve the use of digital technologies in the design and implementation of asymmetry reduction policies.
