Manufacturing is a pillar industry for national economy, an important source for technological innovation, and a material guarantee of people’s lives. Seizing the historical opportunity created by the new-round scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation in recent years, China’s manufacturing industry has showed great strategic resilience, sustained international competitiveness, and a grander prospect. The Chinese Academy of Engineering has conducted a series of consulting projects on promoting China’s manufacturing power. The major consulting project “Research on Several Major Issues in Promoting the Construction of a Manufacturing Power in the New Era” focuses on the implementation of the 14th Five-Year Plan and the 2035 vision as well as on further promoting the medium- and long-term development of the manufacturing industry; it involves intelligent manufacturing, industrial foundation, industrial system, high-quality manufacturing, and green manufacturing. Relevant academic achievements provide policy suggestions for strengthening China’s manufacturing industry from different perspectives and levels, and can provide references for the high-quality development of China’s manufacturing industry in the new era.
