The National Development and Reform Commission said at a press briefing that
China's future industries show strong momentum and overall competitiveness now
ranks in the global top tier, with an increasing number of sectors running
alongside or taking the lead internationally. The NDRC said it will pursue
holistic planning, tailor approaches to local conditions and cultivate
industries in graded stages to promote development. It warned that weaknesses
remain—original innovation capacity is still thin, institutional and mechanism
bottlenecks persist, and some localities have shown herding and clustering in
project layout.
