China vows accelerated push for technological self-reliance, focusing on domestic industries including semiconductors, aerospace and artificial intelligence. The nation plans to nurture unicorn enterprises in future sectors like quantum technology, embodied AI and 6G while promoting large-scale AI commercialization across key industries and establishing new data center projects nationwide.

Beijing aims to coordinate computing capacity distribution and establish AI security risk prevention systems, leveraging its world-leading supply chains and low-cost manufacturing advantages. The government views AI and embodied AI as critical for boosting productivity across manufacturing, logistics, education and healthcare sectors, with experts noting this represents a major area of focus.

Despite these ambitions, U.S. research indicates China's emerging industries may lack sufficient investment to replace traditional industries at a pace needed to sustain 5% GDP growth. China faces significant competition from U.S. tech firms with greater financial resources, creating substantial challenges for its technological advancement goals in the global marketplace.
