US Report Details China's Expanded State-Led Strategy to Strengthen Global Supply Chains

A US Chamber of Commerce report highlights China's expanded state-led industrial policy, now covering nearly all sectors beyond electric vehicles, semiconductors, and clean energy. This approach strengthens China's global manufacturing dominance and increases international reliance on its supply chains. The report notes that China's strategy, evolving from the 'Made in China 2025' program, accelerates trade dominance and supports Chinese firms' global market expansion, raising concerns about manufacturing competitiveness in advanced economies.
