Indian media: China is emerging as a technological power with its manufacturing capabilities and state support

China's progress in the field of science and technology is attracting more and more attention from foreign media. An article published on the website of India's Deccan Herald on October 4 stated that with its manufacturing capabilities and state support, China is building a technological power, and its dominant position in science and technology is increasing day by day.

The article noted that China currently produces 75% of global sales of electric vehicles, accounts for more than 80% of global battery cell production, and accounts for 59% of global installed capacity of industrial robots. In addition, China has also taken some very forward-looking measures to ensure the security of the global supply chain.

The article believes that China’s energy development has chosen a diversified layout. In the past few years, China has opened up energy supply channels from many places around the world, while investing in wind energy, solar energy and other alternative energy sources as supplements. China's influence has gradually expanded. In 2022, China will become the world's largest oil refining country. China's renewable energy industry is developing rapidly. Currently, 80% of the solar panels and more than 60% of the wind turbines installed globally come from China.

The article further analyzes that the reason why China’s construction of a technological power is eye-catching lies in its long-term focus: unlike its competitors that rely more on the leadership of the private sector and whose policy frameworks often lag behind those of technology giants, China insists on taking policy first in its scientific and technological undertakings. First, China will make an overall judgment about where the world will go in the coming years; then, it will build the supply chains needed to get there.
