China outlines four-priority strategy to strengthen advanced manufacturing sector
China’s National Advanced Manufacturing Conference has outlined a four-priority strategy to strengthen the sector, focusing on digital-intelligent empowerment, high-end self-reliance, green and low-carbon production, and cross-sector integration. The strategy aims to cultivate new productive forces, stabilize the economy, and secure industrial supply chains. Official commentary from Economic Daily and Beijing Daily emphasizes that advanced manufacturing is critical for China’s economic modernization, though building a manufacturing powerhouse requires sustained long-term effort.

China's Advanced Manufacturing Drive: Innovation, AI Integration, and Policy Support
This commentary from Beijing Daily analyzes the concept and strategic importance of 'advanced manufacturing' in China, following high-profile national conferences. It defines advanced manufacturing as a high-tech, high-value, efficient system encompassing sectors like industrial machinery, biopharma, and高端装备 (high-end equipment), characterized by intelligence, greenness, and integration. The article argues that China's manufacturing sector, while the world's largest by scale, still faces 'big but not strong' challenges and bottlenecks in certain areas. It prescribes three pillars for strengthening advanced manufacturing: prioritizing innovation (citing 2024 R&D intensity of 3.35% in high-tech manufacturing), deepening the 'AI + manufacturing' push (noting over 30% AI adoption in large firms and 500+ smart factories), and fostering a supportive policy environment with both proactive government support and tolerance for experimentation. The piece specifically highlights Beijing's advantages in innovation resources and the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei industrial chain, positioning the city as a key driver of China's goal to become a manufacturing powerhouse.
Read sourceEconomic Daily Commentary: Four Priorities to Strengthen China's Advanced Manufacturing Sector
An editorial from Economic Daily, republished by East Money, argues that China must focus on four strategic priorities—'four focuses'—to strengthen its advanced manufacturing sector, which is deemed critical for the real economy and modern industrial system. The article, citing the National Advanced Manufacturing Conference, emphasizes that advanced manufacturing is key to cultivating new productive forces, stabilizing the economy, and ensuring industrial chain security. The four priorities are: digital-intelligent empowerment (shuzhi empowerment) to transform R&D, production, and supply chains; high-end self-reliance (gaoduan zizhu) to overcome bottlenecks in core components, materials, and software; green and low-carbon production to upgrade manufacturing systems; and cross-sector integration (kuajie ronghe) to merge manufacturing with services, AI, robotics, and low-altitude economy. The commentary asserts that these measures will solidify the foundation of the real economy and support Chinese-style modernization, while warning that building a manufacturing powerhouse requires sustained long-term effort.

An editorial from China's Economic Daily, republished by East Money, argues that strengthening advanced manufacturing is critical for China's economic stability and industrial modernization. The article summarizes the 'four priorities' outlined at the National Advanced Manufacturing Conference: digital-intelligent empowerment, high-end self-reliance, green low-carbon production, and cross-sector integration. It states that advanced manufacturing is a key carrier for cultivating 'new quality productive forces' and a cornerstone for stabilizing the economy and driving high-quality development. The commentary emphasizes that digital-intelligent empowerment should involve a full-chain transformation from R&D to after-sales service, not just equipment upgrades. It calls for persistent technological breakthroughs in core components, basic materials, and software to achieve high-end self-reliance. Green transformation is framed as a necessary path to move up the value chain, while cross-sector integration with services, AI, and new industries is seen as a source of new growth. The piece concludes that building a manufacturing powerhouse requires long-term effort along these four directions.

China's 'Four Focuses' Strategy Outlined to Strengthen Advanced Manufacturing Sector
An article from Economic Daily, republished on East Money, analyzes the 'four focuses' strategy proposed at the National Advanced Manufacturing Conference to strengthen China's advanced manufacturing sector. The strategy emphasizes: 1) digital and intelligent empowerment (shuzhi empowerment) to transform the entire production chain; 2) high-end self-reliance (gaoduan zizhu) to overcome critical bottlenecks in core components, materials, and software; 3) green and low-carbon development to drive systemic production changes; and 4) cross-sector integration (kuajie ronghe) to foster new business forms like service-oriented manufacturing. The commentary argues that advanced manufacturing is key to cultivating new productive forces, stabilizing the economy, and ensuring industrial chain security. It positions these four focuses as the practical path to building a manufacturing powerhouse and supporting Chinese-style modernization, while cautioning that the effort requires sustained, long-term commitment.
