为实现中国从“制造大国”到“制造强国”的转变，2013年中国工程院会同工业和信息化部联合组织开展“制造强国战略研究”重大咨询研究项目。本项目从机械、航空、航天、轨道、船舶、汽车、电力装备、信息电子、冶金、化工、纺织、家电、仪器十三个领域的制造业发展问题进行研究。研究分析了中国制造业所处现状、面临的机遇和挑战，总结中国制造业大而不强的原因，提出制造强国工程科技战略的思路和目标。研究建立了评价制造强国特征的指标体系，预测中国制造业发展趋势。项目提出了实现制造强国的指导方针和战略对策，明确跨入制造强国行列的“三

The joint major consulting project “Manufacturing power strategy research” by the Chinese Academy of Engineering (CAE) and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology began in 2013. The manufacturing development problems of machinery, aerospace, aviation, railway traffic, ship, automobile, power equipment, information electronics, metallurgy, chemical, textile, home appliance, instrument, and so on a total of 13 areas were researched. The present status, opportunities and challenges on manufacturing industry in China were analyzed. The reason why manufacturing industry in China is huge but not strong was summarized. Meanwhile, the ideas and targets of manufacturing power engineering science and technology strategy were put forward. The study built up an index system for manufacturing nations and forecasted the development trend of the manufacturing industry in China. Finally, the project proposed for guiding principles and strategic countermeasures transform manufacturing. According to the research team, China should become a manufacturing power by 2025, reach a medium level among the world’s best manufacturers by 2035, and rank near the top of the league table by 2045. The project provided scientific decision-making support for “Made in China 2025”.
