What they say

The new-energy automobile industry has entered a growth stage. Last year, we produced more than 300,000 electric cars. This year the number will be doubled, because more and more companies are getting into this field. I believe the future of electric cars is bright. The ministry is working to improve battery performance, reliability and lifespan. It also has plans for charging facilities.

Miao Wei, minister of industry and information technology

During the 13th Five-Year Plan (2016-20), the Ministry of Culture will work on improving high-quality cultural products. China currently has a large quantity of cultural products but a lack of high quality works. By the end of 2020, the cultural industry will contribute more than 5 percent of China's annual GDP. The ministry will also improve exchanges and cooperation to learn from others and introduce our culture to the world.
