Industrial growth fastest since 2010

China's industrial output is expected to rise by around 6.5 percent this year, marking the best performance since 2010, as the Made in China 2025 strategy helps to boost productivity and revenue growth.

The increase is 0.5 percentage points higher than the targeted growth, partly driven by strong efforts to boost the use of new technology at traditional enterprises, Miao Wei, minister of industry and information technology, said on Monday.

"The country's industrial economy has maintained steady and sound growth thanks to the implementation of the Made in China 2025 strategy. It effectively promoted the integration of manufacturing and new technologies such as the internet, big data and cloud computing," Miao added.
