BEIJING (Reuters) – China aims to modernize its industrial chains and boost self-reliance, state television said on Monday, citing a top-level economic meeting chaired by President Xi Jinping.
China will support collaborations between upstream and downstream manufacturers to tackle key technologies in order to form higher value-added industrial chains, China Central Television said.
Its northeastern region would have to diversify industries and push for reform in the state-owned sector, officials at the meeting said.
