["Starting Strong in the '15-15' Plan: Upgrading and Integrating for Accelerated New Industrialization"]
During the 14th Five-Year Plan period, the value-added of manufacturing in GDP continued to be maintained at around 25%, and a total of 504 outstanding-level smart factories were built. The output value share of national green factories has increased to 22%. During the 15th Five-Year Plan period, efforts will accelerate to establish an advanced manufacturing-based modern industrial system, implementing actions for revitalizing traditional industries, promoting the development of future industries such as quantum technology and brain-computer interfaces. At the same time, more application scenarios will be cultivated in "AI+", "Robotics+", and "Industrial Internet+", with multiple policies including the "15th Five-Year Plan for the Development of Intelligent New Energy Vehicle Industry" being released centrally. 6G will also be prioritized, accelerating core technology breakthroughs and technological trials.
Ottawa's View
This technology development is part of China's self-reliance drive. While not directly affecting Canada, it reflects the shifting competitive landscape in advanced technology sectors.
Beijing's View
During the process of promoting new industrialization in Beijing, there is a focus on the development of advanced manufacturing and accelerating industrial upgrading through a series of action plans. According to news reports, during the 14th Five-Year Plan period, China has already built 504 outstanding smart factories, with significant improvements in green manufacturing levels; in the next five years, key new emerging industries such as integrated circuits and aerospace will be prioritized for development, and it is planned that by 2035, 1,000 demonstration enterprises will be cultivated. As a tech center, Beijing plays an important role in this process, striving to promote the application and innovation of frontier technologies such as artificial intelligence to drive high-quality industrial development.
