Recently, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the National Development and Reform Commission jointly issued the "15th Five Year Plan for the Development of Electronic Information Manufacturing Industry" (hereinafter referred to as the "Plan"). In order to better understand and implement the Plan, the relevant content is now interpreted as follows.

1、 What is the background of the introduction of the 'Plan'?

  New breakthroughs have been made in industries such as integrated circuits, servers, and new displays, and the development of artificial intelligence terminals has entered the fast lane. New progress has been made in the large-scale application of Beidou, which has made positive contributions to accelerating the promotion of new industrialization, building a manufacturing and networking power. During the 15th Five Year Plan period, the development environment of China's electronic information manufacturing industry is facing profound and complex changes. It is in a period where strategic opportunities and risks coexist, and uncertain and unpredictable factors are increasing. We must continuously enhance the foresight, predictability, and initiative of our work, strengthen top-level design with the "Plan" as the core, and strive to write a new chapter of high-quality development for the electronic information manufacturing industry.

2、 What is the overall consideration of the Plan?

The issuance of the "Plan" aims to further enhance the competitiveness of China's electronic information manufacturing industry, coordinate high-quality development and high-level security, and fully maintain the stable operation of the national economy. In the face of the new wave of technological revolution and industrial transformation, we should seize the opportunities for the development of artificial intelligence, build a solid foundation for artificial intelligence, accelerate the innovation of the entire electronic information manufacturing industry chain, promote the deep integration of scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation, strengthen the integration and application empowerment of new technologies and products, and cultivate and strengthen new quality productivity. In line with the development trend of the electronic information industry, we will promote industrial openness and cooperation, fully implement national treatment for foreign-funded enterprises, improve the modernization level of industrial governance, and lay a solid foundation for building a strong manufacturing and networking country.

3、 What is the main objective of the 'Plan'?

By 2030, China's electronic information manufacturing industry will achieve significant results in high-quality development and play a pivotal role in the global industrial landscape. The important position of electronic information manufacturing industry in industry is further highlighted, and the operating income of enterprises above designated size has exceeded 30 trillion yuan. The security level of the industrial chain has significantly improved, and a number of long board technologies and products have emerged in fields such as integrated circuits, advanced computing, consumer electronics, basic electronics, and energy electronics, forming a competitive world-class enterprise. The efficiency of industrial innovation has significantly improved, with a research and development investment intensity of 3.5%. Key core technologies in key areas have rapidly broken through, leading and running in more fields. The supply capacity of computing power has increased significantly, and the popularity rate of new generation intelligent terminal applications has significantly increased. The industrial ecosystem is becoming more perfect, with new progress made in hardware, software, standards, and patent collaboration, and new achievements made in regional layout and international cooperation. The improvement of intelligent, green, and integrated development level provides strong support for ensuring the security of national economy and social development, and enhancing the material and cultural living standards of the people.

4、 What are the key tasks outlined in the 'Plan'?

The "Plan" mainly deploys 17 key tasks around four aspects: "building foundations, improving quality, nurturing new industries, and governance", consolidating the foundation for the development of the electronic information manufacturing industry, enhancing industry management capabilities, and modernizing industry governance.

One is to build a solid industrial foundation capability. Mainly including: promoting the full chain research and development of integrated circuits, promoting the high-end development of electronic components and materials, accelerating the innovation and application of intelligent sensors, enhancing the supply capacity of electronic specialized equipment and measuring instruments, and consolidating the foundation of the development of the photonics industry.

The second is to enhance the competitiveness of electronic devices and systems. Mainly including: enhancing the resilience of key industry chains, building advanced computing ecosystems, accelerating the innovative development of consumer electronics, promoting software hardware collaboration, and breakthroughs in electronic system equipment.

The third is to cultivate new growth points for industrial development. Mainly including: consolidating the advantages of the energy electronics industry, promoting the development of the spatiotemporal information industry, consolidating the hardware foundation of artificial intelligence, and accelerating the innovation and integration of electronic and intelligent technologies in the industry.

The fourth is to enhance the sustainable development capability of industries. Mainly including: comprehensively enhancing independent innovation capability, improving modernization capability of industrial governance, optimizing regional coordination layout of industries, and building a new pattern of opening up and cooperation with the outside world.

5、 What special actions are proposed in the Plan?

The "Plan" focuses on key tasks and has set up a total of 9 columns, proposing the development priorities of related fields in the electronic information manufacturing industry during the 15th Five Year Plan period.

In terms of building a solid industrial foundation, three columns will be set up, including: the upgrading of high-end electronic components and materials, the improvement of independent guarantee level for electronic specialized equipment and measuring instruments, and the research and development of key photon technologies and products.

In terms of enhancing the competitiveness of electronic whole machines and systems, two columns will be set up, including: systematic improvement of advanced computing industry and innovation of key consumer electronics products.

In terms of cultivating new growth points for industrial development, four columns will be set up, including: upgrading the industrialization of energy electronics, research and application of spatiotemporal information technology, systematic breakthroughs in key technologies of artificial intelligence chips and terminals, and innovative development of industry electronics.

6、 What are the safeguard measures to promote the implementation of the Plan?

The implementation and effectiveness of the 'Plan' require close cooperation among various departments, localities, and relevant units, leveraging their respective strengths, promoting mutual complementarity, and forming a joint force. The Plan has formulated six safeguard measures, including strengthening policy coordination and perfecting the organizational system of departmental collaboration and central local linkage. Intensify the guarantee of resources and fully utilize existing funding channels to implement major strategic tasks. Integrate the development of educational technology talents and promote the integration of industry and education. Strengthen the deep cooperation between electronic information industry and finance, and guide financial institutions to enhance their financial support for the healthy development of the industry. Vigorously carry out policy promotion and joint monitoring and evaluation of planning implementation. Fully leverage the advantages and roles of industry associations and chambers of commerce, strengthen industry self-discipline, supply-demand coordination, and service empowerment.
