\n In an era marked by US overseas military actions and trade turbulence, Chinese leader Xi Jinping is counting on a plan to shield his country from the storm: driving innovation to transform China into the world\u2019s leading tech superpower.\n <\/p>\n

\n Over the next five years, China seeks to upgrade its already powerful industrial sector, strengthen tech \u201cself-sufficiency\u201d and incubate sectors that will help accelerate the country\u2019s tech supremacy, from artificial intelligence and robotics to aerospace and quantum computing.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cFor the first time, China wants to lead in a number of technologies. Previously, the focus was always catching up with the West,\u201d said Dan Wang, China director at political risk consultancy Eurasia Group.\n <\/p>\n

\n Details of Xi\u2019s gambit for the future were approved on Thursday by China\u2019s rubber-stamp legislature in Beijing as the week-long annual assembly drew to a close. The policy document, known as the Five-Year Plan, has been hashed out behind closed doors by Xi\u2019s inner circle for months and serves as a North Star for the country\u2019s development into the next half-decade.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cStrive to achieve new breakthroughs in advancing original innovation, tackling key core technologies, and seizing the strategic high ground in science and technology,\u201d Xi told local officials in a meeting discussing the new plan last week.\n <\/p>\n

\n As China\u2019s economy contends with deep-rooted structural challenges, including a persistent real estate crisis and low consumer confidence, Xi is zeroing in on bolstering its tech sector, betting proactively on emerging technologies to power the country\u2019s growth in the decades ahead. Last week, China set its lowest-ever economic growth target since it began adopting such figures.\n <\/p>\n
