Southeast Asia Information Port News (www.dnyxxg.com) – Zhou Chen, Director of the Department of National Economic Comprehensive Affairs of the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), stated in Beijing on the 20th that by 2025, the added value of China's high-tech manufacturing industry will account for over 17% of the added value of industries above a designated size. Currently, a number of landmark and leading major projects for high-tech industries during the 15th Five-Year Plan period are being planned and promoted.
At a press conference held by the State Council Information Office that day, Zhou Chen said that looking ahead to 2026, China's economic structure will continue to be optimized, its development momentum will continue to be innovative, and its overall development trend will continue to improve. New-quality productivity will develop steadily, and consumption and investment, science and technology and industry, and urban and rural areas and regions will all unleash enormous development potential. This can be viewed from three perspectives: points, lines, and surfaces.
From a point perspective, new technologies, new products, and new scenarios are gaining momentum. New economic growth points such as new energy, new materials, aerospace, quantum technology, bio-manufacturing, and embody intelligence are poised for takeoff. The installed capacity of new energy storage has exceeded 100 million kilowatts, accounting for more than 40% of the global total. The "AI+" initiative implemented last year is empowering and enhancing China's massive advantages in various scenarios, driving explosive growth in high-end manufacturing, emerging consumption, and new business models.
From an online perspective, the innovation chain, industry chain, and talent chain are rapidly integrating. For example, in the digital economy, short dramas integrate innovation, industry, and talent, achieving clustered development. By 2025, the added value of China's digital economy is expected to reach 49 trillion yuan, accounting for approximately 35% of GDP, creating even greater market space in the future.
From a broader perspective, the innovation-leading role of power source regions continues to strengthen. China now boasts 24 of the world's top 100 innovation clusters, ranking first globally for three consecutive years. Among them, the "Shenzhen-Hong Kong-Guangzhou" cluster has jumped to first place globally, and China accounts for 5 of the world's top 15 innovation clusters.
Zhou Chen said that the Chinese economy is a vast ocean, and we will adhere to both policy support and reform and innovation to fully unleash the enormous potential hidden within this ocean, transforming development potential into new driving forces and technological output into new economic growth, ensuring a good start for the 15th Five-Year Plan.
