Abstract Based on a country-level data of 1869 Chinese counties, this paper constructs an index system based on the new development concept, adopts random forest algorithm to measure and describe the high-quality development level of counties across the country, and further analyzes the effect and mechanism of digital rural construction enabling high-quality development of counties from the perspective of technological progress. The research findings are as follows: Firstly, the level of high-quality development in Chinese counties has steadily improved, and the overall average comprehensive index has shown a fluctuating upward trend. There are significant global spatial agglomeration effects and regional differences, and obstacle factor diagnosis has found that innovation has a higher proportion of obstacles compared to the other four dimensions; Secondly, the construction of digital villages can significantly promote the high-quality development of counties in China; Thirdly, technological progress tends to play a mediating role in the impact of digital rural construction on the high-quality development of Chinese counties. Specifically, the construction of digital countryside can accelerate the transformation of China's county technology progress from labor-oriented to capital-oriented, and then increase the county innovation output to significantly promote the high-quality development of China's county economy. Therefore, governments at all levels should continue to strengthen digital empowerment, guide more capital flow to counties, and strengthen the capital bias of technological progress, so as to play the role of digital rural construction in enabling high-quality development of counties.
