A Macro-study on the Development of China’s Strategic Emerging Industries in the New Era

Abstract

The status of strategic emerging industries in China’s modern industrial system and their contribution to high-quality economic development are becoming increasingly significant. In face of complex domestic and international environments and the situation that China is about to enter the 14th Five-Year Plan period, it is urgently necessary to make macro thinking of China’s strategic emerging industries and study their strategic positioning. The paper carefully analyzes the development situation of emerging industries in developed countries; examines the achievements, challenges, and problems of emerging industries in China; demonstrates the urgent needs and importance of accelerating the development of relevant industries in China; and outlines a general idea about the development in China. China should regard the cultivation and development of strategic emerging industries as an important component of the national modern industrial system; ensure the identification, classification, and strategic deployment of the weaknesses in technologies in the industries; and scientifically plan the regional layout of strategic emerging industries, thus to cultivate industrial clusters at the national level. Conclusively the paper suggests that China should include strategic emerging industries in the national 14th Five-Year Plan; issue a special plan for their development; and explore an integrated national system and a talent motivation and sharing mechanism.
