Faced with the fragmentation of supply chains and the technological hegemony of certain countries, China plays a central role in the reorganization and optimization of global industrial networks and the redefinition of international competitiveness dynamics. Its investments in high -tech manufacturing, including artificial intelligence (AI), 5G, digital economy and green technologies, make it possible to meet global challenges and promote mutual advantages. Carried by this strategy focused on innovation, emerging sectors such as integrated circuits, AI, Beidou navigation, humanoid and industrial robotics, the economy of low altitude and national civil aviation are experiencing dazzling growth. These new technologies and commercial models create new growth opportunities for many countries, contributing to a more dynamic and resilient global economy.

The concept of “new quality productive forces” of China arouses the interest of the whole world. Since Chinese industry offers commercial opportunities to both national and international companies operating in the country, a large number of global companies wish to invest in China.

Investing in China is accessing a colossal market while promoting sustainable and inclusive growth. Beyond being a power in advanced manufacturing, China also aspires to become a large-scale consumer market, capable of generating new demands on a global scale. Closer economic relations with China can stimulate innovation, encourage development and help create a more resilient, sustainable and equitable global economy.
