The consultative committee advising the government on its "Made in China 2025" plan to upgrade the country's manufacturing identified 10 industries of priority on Tuesday.
With Made in China 2025 aiming to shift the country from low-end manufacturing to more value-added production, the list includes new information technologies, numerically controlled machines and robots, aerospace devices, ocean engineering and shipping, advanced rail equipment, new energy vehicles, electrical equipment, agricultural machines, advanced materials, biological medicine and medical instruments.
The committee will update the list every two years.
