China’s High-Tech Vision for the Next Decade 🚀
At a recent press conference, Zheng Shanjie, head of the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), outlined how China will supercharge its economy by focusing on emerging high-tech industries. Over the next ten years, new sectors are set to drive the next wave of growth, building on a strong real economy.
This plan builds on guidelines set at the fourth plenary session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) in Beijing.
Four Pillars for Growth
- Consolidate and upgrade traditional industries 🔧

Strategic Industrial Clusters
As part of the 15th Five-Year Plan, new strategic industries will rise, with industrial clusters in:
- New energy and new materials ⚡️
- Aviation and aerospace ✈️

These areas could become markets worth trillions of yuan, creating exciting opportunities for investors and entrepreneurs alike.
Riding the Wave of Innovation
In 2024, the “three new” economies—new industries, new business formats and new business models—accounted for over 18% of GDP. Looking ahead, keep an eye on:
