President Xi Jinping has called on China to increase innovation and combat the dominance of other countries in key technologies, particularly in the semiconductor sector. This directive, made on Monday, underscores the escalating technology confrontation between China and the United States. Xi emphasized the importance of scientific and technological modernization for China's high-quality development. He has appointed his former chief of staff to lead efforts in achieving breakthroughs in core technologies. This move comes amid growing concerns in the U.S. about China's rapid industrial rise, including its significant shipbuilding capacity and dominance in drone manufacturing. Xi aims to achieve 70% self-sufficiency in high-tech industries by 2025.
