China makes almost everything in China anyway lol.
China is the world's largest manufacturer.
But this plan is about having high-tech products developed by Chinese companies and exported to the world.

Made in China, reincarnated
2015-5-21 15:30:58
An ambitious plan to reform China's manufacturing sector seeks to change the reputation for "Made-in-China" goods.
Since the country began its economic reform and opening-up in the late 1970s, it has gradually risen as one of the globe's largest manufacturers.
Often dubbed the factory of the world, China earned the title at the expense of the environment, with many manufacturers describing their production processes as dull, dirty and dangerous.
The "Made in China 2025" Plan released on Tuesday aims to reduce the environmental impact of manufacturing and promises to transform the sector, long plagued by overcapacity, into an efficient and sophisticated industry.
It also lays out strategies for the country to upgrade from low-end manufacturing to more value-added and tech-intensive production, and encourages domestic manufacturers to achieve technological breakthroughs across a number of emerging industries from numerical control tools and robotics to aerospace equipment and new energy vehicles.
China's industry 4.0
Many likened the vision depicted in the plan to Germany's Industry 4.0, which emphasizes greater integration with physical production and the virtual world of data.
"Industry 4.0 is about embracing smart manufacturing," said Qu Daokui, president of Siasun Robot & Automation, based in the country's traditional industrial base in the northeast, "whereas the first three industrial revolutions have extended human strength in manufacturing. Industry 4.0 is about making the manufacturing process smart."
Manufacturing upgrades are not only one country's problem, Qu said, but rather a global challenge. Technologies like big data, the Internet, sensors and robots have enabled more efficient manufacturing. Besides, a worldwide manufacturing glut is also forcing the sector to change.
While overcapacity has brought a lot of pain for manufacturers, it also tilts the power balance toward the demand side. Customers worldwide are demanding greater individuality from mass production.
China's worsening labor shortage and rising labor cost also underscores the urgency for the country's manufacturing to upgrade.
"It's wrong to think the problem we have in manufacturing is cyclical or that it stems from a financial crisis. The truth is technological progress is the driving force of the ongoing readjustment in our manufacturing," Qu said.
Redefining made in China
Tian Suning, chairman of China Broadband Capital, believes that the new manufacturing that emerges from the latest industrial revolution will be powered by cloud computing and big data. Manufacturing will become more responsive to demands and the economy better structured.
Red Collar, a garment producer based in the eastern Chinese city Qingdao, has invested 1 billion yuan (163.6 million US dollars) over the past 12 years in cloud computing to build an online platform that allows the company to accommodate increasingly individualized demands from its global clients.
The platform enables Red Collar to better understand the unique demands from each client and tailor its manufacturing accordingly. It now makes 3,000 tailored garments daily for its clients in New York and plans to double such highly customized production in the future.
The platform demonstrates how one of the oldest professions can be transformed by cloud computing and big data.
In southwest China's economic powerhouse Chengdu, a plant has showcased what the next level of China manufacturing may look like. Opened in September 2013, the Siemens Electronic Works Chengdu (SEWC) is modelled after its predecessor, Siemens' Amberg Electronics Plant, in Bavaria, Germany.
Both plants produce the company's programmable logic controls, with an extremely low ratio of defects. They also employ very few people and instead use networked machines that automate much of the manufacturing processes.
Production at the Chengdu plant is twice as fast as in Siemens' other plants in China and is expected to overtake its Amberg counterpart soon, which currently produces 1 million parts each year, or one part per second.
Global wisdom
A lot of the emerging industries China seeks to nurture in the "Made in China 2025" plan requires cutting-edge technologies, many of which are pioneered by companies from advanced economies like the United States, Germany, and Japan.
To reduce the heavy reliance on foreign technologies, China is gradually ramping up investment in research and development, whose share of GDP has risen from 1.5 percent in 2008 to more than 2 percent last year but still lags behind the 3 percent for developed economies.
The government's growing support for research could mean more opportunities for foreign tech companies who intend to boost their R&D presence in China, says tech consultancy Gartner.
Many research areas with official endorsement, such as cloud computing, smart machines and the integration between Internet and industry, are vital in China's transition toward more sophisticated manufacturing.
Much of this research could eventually translate into substantial market demand. Take cloud computing as an example, Gartner estimates that China's total public cloud market will reach nearly 20.7 billion US dollars, almost four times as much as the level in 2013. A survey conducted by the consultancy last year also shows tech chiefs at large companies treat cloud as the first technology priority to adopt in China.
"If global companies can align their R&D vision and effort with the Chinese government's research priorities, they will achieve a lot of long-term benefits here," said Eileen He, a research analyst with Gartner.

Strong marketization key to 'Made in China 2025'
By Zhang Yan
"Made in China 2025," China's first 10-year plan of action for implementing a strategy to reinvigorate the country's manufacturing sector, was recently signed by Premier Li Keqiang and issued by the State Council.
"Made in China 2025" states that in order to improve the competitiveness of China's manufacturing industry, breakthroughs should be made in key generic technologies that restrict the long-term development of manufacturing industry. The plan stipulates that these breakthroughs should be achieved through government guidance, resource integration and the implementation of five projects including the establishment of a manufacturing innovation center and the development of intelligent manufacturing.
The development of "Made in China 2025" happens to coincide with that of "Industry 4.0" in Germany. The difference is that the two countries are at different stages of industrial development. Due to a variety of historical reasons, China's industrialization happened much later, therefore China has a long way to go to become a manufacturing giant.
However, both countries are also facing a great difference in context now than they did in the past because the Internet is changing and remodeling manufacturing. The development of the Internet in China is advanced, and the country also has a good traditional industrial base. These conditions provide a strong foundation for achieving the goals of "Made in China 2025."
However, attention needs to be paid to the fact that China's Internet industry is much advanced compared to many of the country's other industries. A significant factor in this is that the Internet industry's relatively high degree of marketization means that it faces fewer restrictions than other sectors, especially amid the squeeze of state-owned enterprises. In order to achieve its goals, the "Made in China 2025" initiative needs to strengthen the market's role in motivating the creativity of major market players.
The market is the main channel through which to accomplish "Made in China 2025" plan. Only by motivating more enterprises to become market-oriented, take risks and experiment can China develop products and manufacturing enterprises that satisfy future human demands, gain more market share and foster creativity.
There is no doubt that most pioneers will fail, but there will also be some who succeed. One needs to keep in mind that in the past, the success of some winners in many industries could be attributed to privileged market access, monopolies and even relationships with powerful authorities. Such enterprises will not be competitive enough once they go abroad, even if they are giants in the domestic market.
If similar things keep happening throughout the course of implementing the "Made in China 2025" plan, good results can hardly be achieved. For example, there have been lots of industrial guidance and support policies issued over the past years, but only a limited number of enterprises have developed successfully as a result of these policies. Instead, in some areas where there has been no support, industrial giants have emerged from among the ranks of enterprises that did not receive significant subsidies or support. This calls for some amount of introspection.
As mentioned above, enterprises form the main body of the market, so the most important thing is to create a good environment for the development and innovation of enterprises. At present, there is still room for improvement in areas including industrial market access, taxation reform, administrative approval, government efficiency and the opening up of the financial industry. Of course, necessary reform is also needed in the education and scientific research systems. But what enterprises need most are fair rules and a competitive environment. Fair, open and forceful competition will drive the creativity of enterprises, especially small and medium ones. A good business environment is therefore also an essential condition for the achievement of the goals of "Made in China 2025."

China plans to realise intelligent manufacturing by 2025
CCTV.com
05-22-2015
China set out a plan to step up its manufacturing sector, dubbed Made in China 2025. The Minister of Industry and Information Technology Miaowei said intelligent technology is the key to a strong manufacturing industry.
Intelligent manufacturing is based on internet of things, cloud computing, and big data. These technologies will be involved in every aspect of the manufacturing process, to realise machine optimised decisions.
"We plan to build four parameters in the future, to realise information sharing and communication between people and things, and between people and people. For example, the auto industry has made unmanned vehicles as a goal to achieve before 2020. We will also build a foundation for internet of things, and solve problems in broadband speed, bandwidth and fees," said Miao Wei, minister of Ministry of Industry & Information Tech.
Miao said internet will become the powering engine for intelligent manufacturing, and the idea coincides with Germany's Industry 4.0.
"Made in China 2025 and Germany raised idealogy Industry 4.0 are largely similar. It's a combination of internet and advanced technology. It will push up a new round of manufacturing development. But we still have big difference among regions and sectors in China in terms of technology. We still have to catch up on industry 2.0 and industry 3.0 before we reach the stage of 4.0. But the binding of internet and manufacturing is a good opportunity to speed up our development," Miao said.
China plans to upgrade level of intelligence in key manufacturing sectors by 2020, meanwhile cut costs by 30 percent in pilot projects. Till 2025 key sectors will become fully intelligent, and manufacturing costs will go down by a half.

The term "Industrie 4.0" originates from a project in the high-tech strategy of the German government，On 8 April 2013 at the Hanover Fair the final report of the Working Group Industry 4.0 was presented, to against internet of US and Made in China.
Industry 4.0 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
And US called it Industrial Internet Revolution
China made it Made in China 2025
It's the 4th Revolution of industry, we should at the stand on the industry revolution. And such has nothing with Modi's "Made in India", "made in india" is only Indian road change from aiming to be a India called "World office", "start to" develop Manufacturing， has nothing to do with "Industrie 4.0", India is only at the start point of manufacturing road

Ten priority industries were identified on Tuesday by a key committee advising the central government on its "Made in China 2025" plan to upgrade the country's manufacturing sector.
The plan is aimed at moving the country away from low-end manufacturing to more value-added output.
The consultative committee's list includes new information technologies, numerically controlled machines and robots, aerospace devices, ocean engineering and shipping, and advanced rail equipment.
New energy vehicles, electrical equipment, agricultural machines, advanced materials, and biological medicine and medical instruments are also listed.
The committee will update the list every two years.
The State Council, China's Cabinet, unveiled the Made in China 2025 plan in May, in which domestic manufacturers are expected to make technological breakthroughs in emerging industries.
Xin Guobin, director of a 3-month-old office under the State Council that aims to spearhead the plan, said the guidance will play a vital role in increasing the country's manufacturing ability. Future industry policies will be implemented based on this guidance, Xin said.
The most eye-catching target is the greatly increased market share for Chinese servers.
The country is aiming for a 90 percent market share for domestic servers in the finance and telecommunications sectors by 2025.
Analysts said the target is designed to further squeeze the markets of overseas vendors such as IBM Corp and Hewlett-Packard Co.

‘Made in China 2025’ takes center stage at fair
By Ji Xiang | November 4, 2015, Wednesday |
PRINT EDITION
Visitors look at a “robot astronaut” at the 17th China International Industry Fair, which opened yesterday at the National Exhibition and Convention Center in Shanghai. Some of the best examples of China’s smart manufacturing technologies will go on show at the event, along with environmental protection gear, new-energy cars and aviation products, all under the “Made in China” label. — Dong Jun
CHINA will display its latest expertise in smart manufacturing in robots, environmental protection equipment, new-energy cars and aviation products under the “Made in China 2025” blueprint at an industrial fair.
The main theme of this year’s China International Industry Fair is centered around innovative, intelligent and green manufacturing in line with China’s first 10-year plan to elevate its low-cost manufacturing to one that is highly advanced and value-added.
The annual fair, which opened in Shanghai yesterday and will end on Saturday, is an important platform for companies to release their newest products and solutions.
ABB yesterday unveiled its largest robot — IRB 8700 — to address demand from the automobile industry. The robot, with a reach of 3.5 meters, is able to handle a maximum payload of 800 kilograms.
The robot with one motor and fewer components will cost less to maintain.
The Swiss robotics specialist also displayed another star robot, the agile human-shaped YuMi, which made its debut at last year’s event.
Pekka Tiitinen, head of the discrete automation and motion division at ABB, told Shanghai Daily that one of the features of modern manufacturing is that humans can work hand in hand with robots.
KUKA, a German rival of ABB in robotics, yesterday released its KR CYTEC nano series which focuses on a low payload category of 6-10 kilograms and is very suitable in small spaces. This series of robots will help in the assembly of small components or welding work.
“We have significantly reduced the disruptive contours of the robot, while the streamlined design of the wrist ensures better accessibility, even in confined workspaces,” said Markus Hollfelder-Asam, product manager at KUKA.
China is now the world’s largest and fastest growing robotics market. Last year, over 57,000 industrial robots were sold in China, a rise of 56 percent year on year and taking up 25 percent of the total global sales.
However, there are only 36 industrial robots for every 10,000 workers in China, far below the global average of 66.
Robotics was listed as one of the 10 key industries under the “Made in China 2025” blueprint. China will boost the development of robotic software and the robotic industry in general.
Shanghai is pioneering scientific and technological innovation in developing an innovation-led economy in China. The city has nearly a quarter of the country’s total number of research and development centers set up by multinational corporations.
The proportion of Shanghai’s investment in R&D in the city’s gross domestic product increased to 3.6 percent in 2014 from 2.8 percent in 2010.

Yes over 57,000 industrial robots were deployed last year, making China the 2nd largest country in total operating stock after Japan by end 2014. But density was still low, only 36 per ten thousand workers, far below Korea's 487. Let's continue this trend and make robotics another pillar industry of China.
