["[New quality productive forces will become the strongest driving force for the development of the manufacturing sector in the 15th Five-Year Plan]", said Huang Qifan, academic advisor of the China Finance 40 Forum and former mayor of Chongqing. He noted that after more than a decade of development, a considerable number of products in China's top 10 manufacturing sectors have achieved global leadership or are on par with those of developed countries. The situation where China's manufacturing sector was \"large but not strong\" and dominated by mid-to-low-end products has transformed into one where it is \"large and relatively strong\" or \"large and strong\". From the formulation of the 15th Five-Year Plan in 2025 to its full implementation from 2026 to 2030, and then to the long-term development goals for 2040, the central government has set a clear direction for the development of China's manufacturing sector: to promote the development of new quality productive forces. New quality productive forces will become the most powerful driving force for the development of China's manufacturing sector in the 15th Five-Year Plan and even in the long-term plan for 2040."]
