Beijing has vowed to develop emerging industries such as 6G and robotics into new drivers of economic growth by the end of the decade, while pledging renewed efforts to curb cutthroat competition in the domestic automotive industry.
Vice-minister of Industry and Information Technology Xin Guobin outlined plans through 2030 to develop a range of hi-tech industries as new pillars of the economy and sources of future growth, from next-generation 6G communications and quantum technology to brain-computer interfaces and nuclear fusion.
“We will focus on developing new quality productive forces and integrating technological and industrial innovation to promote high-quality development,” Xin said at a press conference hosted by the State Council Information Office on Wednesday.
