Future industries a 'concerto', not a 'solo', Chinese minister says
Future industries such as quantum technology and embodied intelligence should be a global "concerto" of collaboration rather than a "solo" performance by any single nation, China's Minister of Industry and Information Technology Li Lecheng said on Sunday at the China Development Forum in Beijing.
Li emphasized that China is committed to sharing technological innovations with the world and working jointly to advance future industries for the benefit of all humanity.
He noted that multinational corporations are increasingly integrating into the landscape of these emerging sectors.
The minister outlined a multi-pronged strategy to accelerate the development of future industries. This includes strengthening top-level planning and establishing technology foresight mechanisms, as well as promoting the coordinated development of pilot zones tailored to local advantages.
To boost technological supply, China will intensify efforts in original and groundbreaking research, with a focus on fields such as quantum technology, bio-manufacturing, hydrogen and nuclear fusion energy, brain-computer interfaces, embodied intelligence, and 6G.
He also stressed the importance of leveraging enterprises as key drivers by nurturing leading tech firms with core competencies. The ministry will work to integrate innovation, industry, capital, and talent chains, while refining governance systems to balance development with security.
Li called for deeper international cooperation, greater engagement in global innovation networks, and active participation in setting international standards to foster an open, inclusive, and secure environment for future industrial growth.
