The new strategy, to a degree, rebrands the country’s previous Made in China 2025 campaign, which sought to propel it to the lead in a range of cutting-edge technologies. It broadly set out to produce 70 percent of the core components that Chinese manufacturers needed by 2025. The plan scared trade partners and contributed to a punishing trade war with the United States.

新戰略在一定程度上重塑了此前的「中國製造2025」計劃，後者旨在推動該國在一系列尖端技術中佔據領先地位。該計劃希望在2025年以前實現中國製造商所需的70％核心零部件由自己生產。它使貿易夥伴感到驚慌，並加劇了與美國之間的一場消耗巨大的貿易戰。
