Abstract

As a globally recognized manufacturing powerhouse and the world’s second-largest economy, China has achieved historic leaps in scientific, technological, and industrial innovation capacity. This study analyzes the drivers of China’s rapid rise in science, technology and industry from there dimensions: education, infrastructure, and manufacturing. In terms of education, China has built the world’s largest science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) talent training system. The number of graduates with Ph.D. degree in STEM is twice that of the United States, and the quality of higher education has been steadily improved. On infrastructure, China ranks first globally in power generation and has developed a world-class power grid. Its high-speed railway network exceeds 50,000 kilometers in length, expressways stretch nearly 200,000 kilometers, and 5G and other broadband networks are widely deployed. For manufacturing, China is the only country boasting all industrial categories under the United Nations industrial classification system. Its value-added manufacturing has topped the global ranking for 16 consecutive years, featuring in leading global market shares in photovoltaic power, wind power, new energy vehicles, and shipbuilding. The study demonstrates that these achievements are rooted in the leadership of the Communist Party of China and reform and opening-up, providing vital support for building China into a country strong in science and technology.
