The Chinese government has published the Plan for a Quality Power, which means shifting the focus of the economy from quantity and volume to quality.
The plan is to improve the overall quality of Chinese products and services and the competitiveness of Chinese brands by 2025, government officials said Thursday.
The plan also sets the goal of establishing an "advanced culture of quality" by 2035, to reach a new round of infrastructure capacity development, and to increase the country's industrial competitiveness for more economic growth.
Tian Shihong, deputy head of the State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR), noted that more efforts will also be made to improve the upgrading quality of daily life services and guide the standardized development of emerging personalized services, such as online ride-hailing, online shopping and mobile payments.
Maintaining order in the market, creating a fair competitive environment and promoting quality competition are recognized as important aspects. It is also necessary to strengthen oversight over the quality of products at marketplaces.
The plan is also in line with the goals proposed at the XX National Congress of the Communist Party of China, focusing on developing the real economy and promoting new industrialization, including building China into a bigger economy in quality product manufacturing and provider of services.
Over the past years, China has seen the quality of major technical equipment, projects, important consumer goods and high-tech products in emerging fields reaching higher levels, SAMR points out.
"However, it should be noted that the quality of some Chinese products and services still lags behind that of those in some other nations, especially in advanced industrial components and technologies. Thus, the plan comes in a timely manner to solve these problems,"
said Zhang Junwei, a researcher at the Development Research Center of the State Council.
