In Part Two we will take a much closer look at each of these 10 priority sectors in detail, and consider the specific aims and objectives that have been outlined in order to achieve the overall MIC 2025 goals. In particular we will look at China’s current and future needs and ambitions, and match them to UK industrial strengths, considering the opportunities and challenges for UK companies. We will also introduce the key Chinese players in each industry, and highlight around 50 sub-sectors and numerous industry applications where there are likely to be specific opportunities for UK companies. There was around 18,000km of high-speed railway at the end of 2015, with another 1,500km planned for 2016. 02 | www.ukti.gov.uk ADVANCED RAIL AND EQUIPMENT 1. Industry Background The first Chinese high-speed train In order to further accelerate the (CRH1) began operating in 2007, with development of China’s rail industry, and Future Trends a top speed of 250km/h, the result of the National Development and a joint venture with Bombardier (most Reform Commission (NDRC) drafted China’s railways are playing a vital of the technology in the CRH1 was an Integrated Transport System role in its economic and social supplied by Bombardier). The later Development Plan into the 12th Five development, with an extensive CRH2 followed a similar development Year Plan (2011-2015). China Railway network connecting major cities across track and most of the technology used Construction Corporation (CRCC) 120,000km of track. New high-speed was produced by Kawasaki. In 2008, has been tasked with completing a connections have brought China’s CRH3 was introduced with a top speed plan called ‘Four Verticals and Four cities, people and businesses closer of 350km/h, thanks to a joint venture Horizontals’ designed to create a together – there was around 18,000km with Siemens. high-speed cross-country network of high-speed railway at the end of of lines, from Beijing to Harbin and 2015, with another 1,500km planned After several years of domestic R&D, Dalian in the North-East; from Beijing for 2016 (compared to the 150km China now owns considerable IP to Shanghai and Shanghai to Shenzhen for HS2 which is expected to take 10 rights for core technologies in wheel, running north-south; from Qingdao to years). dynamics, air dynamic controls, train Taiyuan, Xuzhou to Lanzhou; Shanghai body structure design, steering, to Chengdu; and Shanghai to Kunming China has also been investing heavily in traction system control, braking running east-west.

  • Made in China 2025 and the Future of American Industry”
    Testimony of Robert D. Atkinson President Information Technology and Innovation Foundation Before the Senate Small Business Committee Hearing on “Made in China 2025 and the Future of American Industry” February 27, 2019 Washington, DC Good afternoon Chairman Rubio, Ranking Member Cardin and members of the Committee; thank you for inviting me to share the views of the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation (ITIF) on the issue of unfair Chinese trade and technology policies and practices and what the federal government should do in response. The Information Technology and Innovation Foundation is a non-partisan think tank whose mission is to formulate and promote public policies to advance technological innovation and productivity internationally, in Washington, and in the states. Recognizing the vital role of technology in ensuring prosperity, ITIF focuses on innovation, productivity, and digital economy issues. ITF has long focused on the issue of not only how unfair foreign policies and practices, particularly Chinese, negatively impact the U.S. economy, but why and how the federal government should establish a robust national competitiveness and innovation policy. I very much appreciate the opportunity to comment on these issues today. In my testimony I first discuss the importance for a new framework for how to think about the economic challenge from China and the key points in this regard raised in the recent report from Chairman Rubio – “Made in China 2025 and the Future of American Industry”. Second, I discuss the nature of China economic challenge from “Made in China, 2025.” Finally, discuss components for more robust trade, innovation and competitiveness strategies, including components to help small businesses.

  • A New Stage for Overseas Expansion for China's Equipment
    A New Stage for Overseas Expansion for China’s Equipment Manufacturing Industry Deloitte China Manufacturing Industry Group Deloitte China Research and Insight Centre Preface China's Equipment Manufacturing Industry is one of the country's most important sectors and has historically focused on manufacturing construction machinery, sophisticated machine tools and power equipment. However, China's high dependence on new core technologies as well as its internal lack of innovation capabilities are some of the main issues preventing the industry from reaching its goal of restructuring and upgrading, as well as enhancing its capacity for independent innovation, all of which have been called for under China's 12th Five-Year plan. Given this, equipment manufacturers have been exploring various approaches in order to encourage innovative reforms, such as investing heavily into research and development, improving innovation transformation capabilities, cultivating innovative ideas and establishing innovation mechanisms. In fact, as the global economy increasingly integrates, China’s Equipment Manufacturing sector has begun to play a crucial role in helping allocate global resources. On the one hand, this is the result of China upgrading its equipment manufacturing technologies; on the other hand, the industry itself has benefited from a booming domestic economy which has resulted in huge market demand for equipment manufacturing industry products. Furthermore, despite the recent slowdown in the Chinese economy, such demands are likely to remain. Since the break-out of the global financial crisis, developed economies across the world have taken a new look at their modes of economic development. At the same time, many of them have encouraged a return to manufacturing production as a way to revive previously-languid economies.
