Page 11 - REPORT ON THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE 2022 PLAN FOR NATIONAL ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL EVELOPMENT AND ON THE 2023 DRAFT PLAN FOR NATIONAL ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL EVELOPMENT

We implemented a series of policies and measures on stimulating steady
growth in the industrial economy and introduced policies and measures for

boosting its revitalization. We made solid progress in advancing industrial
foundation reengineering projects, research projects on major technologies and
equipment, and the national program to foster clusters of strategic emerging
industries. We adopted multiple measures to drive investment in manufacturing
and steadily expanded the sector’s value-added as a proportion of the GDP.

We accelerated the upgrading and transformation of key industries and
promoted the implementation of smart manufacturing and green manufacturing
projects. We continued to build on our success in addressing overcapacity in iron
and steel production and ensured the well-regulated and orderly relocation of the

chemical industry. We significantly enhanced our capacity for securing our own
supply of ethylene and other key chemical products and steadily advanced energy
conservation and carbon reduction retrofitting in key sectors including steel and
petrochemicals.
We thoroughly advanced pilot programs for the integrated development of

advanced manufacturing and modern services, moved faster to boost the
specialized service capacity of the manufacturing-oriented service industry, and
saw that new heights were achieved in high-quality development of the service
sector. We pursued high-quality brand building and launched campaigns to create

Chinese brands. We made vigorous efforts to cultivate SMEs that use special and
sophisticated technologies to produce novel and unique products and supported
enterprises of all sizes in pursuing development through collaboration with each
other.
3) Sustained and healthy development of the digital economy was achieved.

We formulated and put into practice a policy document on establishing basic
systems for data to better leverage the role of data as a factor of production. We
sped up efforts to improve the framework of basic systems for data and
coordinated work on data property rights, data circulation and trade, stakeholder

benefit distribution, and data security governance. To promote the integrated
development of the digital economy and the real economy, we fully implemented
the East-to-West Computing Capacity Diversion Project, accelerated the
establishment of a national computing network, and stepped up policy support for
appropriately future-oriented planning for improving computing capacity

infrastructure in hub nodes. We also advanced the digitalization of traditional
