China vows to accelerate tech self-reliance
China has placed high-level technological self-reliance and self-strengthening at the heart of its national strategy to spearhead the development of “new quality productive forces,” according to a communique released after a key Communist Party meeting. The statement, issued Thursday, followed the conclusion of a plenary session of the party’s Central Committee, held in Beijing from Monday to Thursday. The plenum outlined technological self-reliance and self-strengthening as one of the main objectives for the country’s 15th Five-Year Plan (2026–2030), alongside achieving notable progress in high-quality development.
