Among the main industry countries around the world, America ranks in the top list, following by the second powerful industry countries Germany and Japan, while China, UK, France and Korea should be classified as the third powerful ones.

There are three big problems occurring in China’s Manufacturing Industry—low innovation ability, unadvanced core technology, and low utilization rate. “Intelligentization, greenization, servitization should be the three goals for China’s Manufacturing Industry when transformation and upgrading.” said Mr. Zhu Gaofeng, former Vice-President of China Academy of Engineering.

The overall plan will be implemented in three phases. In the first ten-year phase since 2015, attention and emphasis will be put on turning China into a power manufacturing country.
