China Calls on State Firms to Boost Tech Self-Reliance Amid Geopolitical Risks

State-owned enterprises (SOEs) must ensure China's tech self-reliance amid geopolitical risks. This is called "a matter of survival."

SOEs are key to national security and the economy. Reforms aim to make them more innovative and competitive.

Policy support will help SOEs drive R&D in strategic tech like AI and biotech.

SOEs should diversify energy imports and control supply chains.

China is cracking down on SOE corruption, calling them critical to the economy.
