China is strengthening the Made in China 2025 strategy with new national-level demonstration areas to spur the development of smart-, green - and service-oriented manufacturing.

The decision was made at a State Council executive meeting presided over by Premier Li Keqiang on Wednesday.

One goal is to foster the development of emerging industries and upgrade traditional sectors by furthering the integration of manufacturing and the internet. Support policies for market-oriented reforms will be rolled out to ensure that businesses of all types can receive the same national treatment.
