The Industrial Internet is reshaping China's manufacturing landscape, with applications now spanning 49 sectors of the national economy, according to CPPCC member Xu Xiaolan. Speaking at a Members' Corridor session during the third meeting of the 14th CPPCC National Committee, Xu emphasized how this technological leap has accelerated digitalization, enhanced supply chain connectivity, and driven intelligent production systems.
This transformation aligns with China's broader push to integrate advanced technologies into traditional industries. Xu noted the Industrial Internet's role in optimizing resource allocation and fostering cross-sector innovation, particularly in automotive, electronics, and green energy industries. Analysts suggest these developments present new opportunities for international investors and tech partners eyeing Asia's largest economy.
The progress reflects China's ongoing efforts to modernize its industrial base while balancing economic growth with technological sovereignty. As global manufacturers increasingly adopt smart factory solutions, China's experience offers valuable insights for developing economies building their own digital infrastructure.
