As part of efforts to build a manufacturing powerhouse, China recently unveiled a guideline on accelerating the transformation and upgrading of traditional manufacturing industries.
The guideline was jointly released by eight government bodies, including the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) and the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC).
As the main body of the county's manufacturing industries, traditional manufacturing industries are the foundation of a modern industrial system, said an official from NDRC, adding that their transformation and upgrading are critical to enhance resilience of the industrial chain and supply chain.

Focusing on quality, efficiency and innovation, a series of goals were put forward in the guideline.
By 2027, the country's traditional manufacturing industries are expected to achieve notable progress in their high-end, intelligent, green, and integrated development.
Meanwhile, their position and competitiveness in the global industrial division will be further strengthened.
For industrial enterprises, the?popularization?rate of digital R&D and design tools is expected to exceed 90 percent, while the numerical control rate of key processes is on track to surpass 70 percent.
The intensities of industrial energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions are also going to be continuously decreased.
By then, the water consumption for every 10 thousand RMB of industrial added value will have been down 13 percent compared with that of 2023, and the comprehensive utilization rate of bulk industrial solid wastes could be more than 57 percent.
To achieve these goals, the guideline calls for upholding innovation-driven development, speeding up the application of digital technologies, and advancing intelligent manufacturing.
It also attaches great importance to the green and low-carbon development, promoting industrial convergence, and building a favorable development environment.
In recent years, significant achievements have been made in the transformation and upgrading of traditional manufacturing industries.
