Despite recent assertions that China’s “golden age” of investment and development has passed and that opportunities are diminishing, the reality is markedly different. China remains a market of immense potential. As the country accelerates its economic transformation and industrial upgrading, it will create unprecedented opportunities for global stakeholders.

China’s industrial sector continues to demonstrate remarkable vitality, underpinned by a comprehensive industrial system and unparalleled scale.

For 15 consecutive years, China has remained the world’s largest manufacturing country, with 80% of capacity concentrated in traditional sectors such as metallurgy, chemicals, machinery, light industry and textiles. As these industries advance towards more advanced, intelligent and green development models, a wave of new investment opportunities is emerging.

Simultaneously, strategic emerging industries and growth drivers such as AI, robotics and biopharmaceuticals are gaining momentum. Several Chinese Al models rank among the world’s top performers, and China has been the world’s largest industrial robot application market for 12 consecutive years. Innovation in pharmaceuticals is also experiencing a surge, with new drugs reaching the market at an accelerated pace. China’s commitment to openness ensures that the benefits of industrial transformation are shared globally.
