IT Home reported at 22:10 on October 9 that the State Council issued an opinion on developing new-quality productive forces the same day. The opinion sets out 19 major reform tasks and four principles: innovation-led, reform as the priority, adapting to local conditions, and establishing the new before discarding the old. It lists pushing scientific and technological innovation as the first of five major tasks, including breaking through key core technologies, coordinating national strategic research capacity, strengthening firms as the main actors in innovation, and moving results into production. IT Home did not attach the full text. What follows is only what that report says.

On emerging industries, the opinion calls for pillar industries and faster development of information technology, new energy, new materials, intelligent connected vehicles, robots, biomedicine, high-end equipment, and aerospace. It says to avoid the kind of competition it describes as involution. On the condition that safety is assured, it calls for orderly development of the low-altitude economy and commercial spaceflight. The future-industry section names quantum technology, biomanufacturing, hydrogen and fusion energy, brain-computer interfaces, embodied intelligence, and sixth-generation mobile communications, and it calls for a mechanism to share rising investment and risk.
[1]The opinion calls for a full “AI+” program: using AI to change traditional industries, applying intelligent connected vehicles, AI phones and computers, and humanoid robots as intelligent terminals, and strengthening the supply of computing, algorithms, and data. It also calls for industry pilot sites and high-value scenarios, arranged by sector. The document says to build technical monitoring, risk warning, and emergency response, so that AI is safe, reliable, and controllable. That is a requirement in the opinion, not a completed result. The IT Home article gives no budget, timetable, or responsible agency.
