Nation to sharpen quality focus

The nation will step up its effort to boost industrial products' quality by upgrading homegrown core components and cultivating globally competitive small and medium-sized companies, officials said on Tuesday.

The move came as quality upgrading becomes a key in further implementing the country's Made in China 2025 strategy.

Luo Wen, vice-minister of industry and information technology, said China has already become one of the world's largest producers of more than 220 types of products.
