10. Summary of the thesis results:
The Made in China 2025 plan is a key strategic initiative of China, aimed at transforming its economic model and enhancing its international standing. After more than seven years of implementation, the plan is considered to have achieved some important initial successes. However, to achieve its goals of becoming the world's leading manufacturing and technological powerhouse, China still faces numerous challenges.

The basis for China's MIC 2025 plan lies in the transformation of the global economic and technological landscape, as well as some domestic constraints. In the face of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, many countries have successively launched strategic initiatives to promote digital transformation and re-industrialization of their economies. In particular, the United States and the European Union (EU) have continuously taken decisive actions to protect their technological leadership and limit China's rise. Meanwhile, China faces several core issues that need addressing, such as sustainability, low economic efficiency, and excessive dependence on imported advanced technology. These issues force the world's most populous nation to change its strategy and adjust its development model to maintain high growth rates and, more importantly, enhance its position in the global knowledge economy.

Under the direction of the government, China has been very proactive in implementing the MIC 2025. The plan has been implemented synchronously at the local level and by relevant ministries and departments. The main focus is on concentrating large investments in five key tasks: manufacturing transformation, smart manufacturing, green manufacturing, industrial infrastructure, and high-quality equipment. In addition, the Chinese government has also identified 10 key industries that need to be prioritized, such as telecommunications, robotics, aerospace, and next-generation information technology. The state has implemented many incentives and mechanisms to encourage investment in these industries, including tax exemptions and reductions, preferential loans, support for human resource training, the construction of specialized technology parks, and the promotion of international cooperation for technology transfer.
As a result, after 7-8 years of implementation, Made in China 2025 has helped China achieve significant progress in improving its manufacturing capabilities and mastering technology. Specifically, the country has been able to domestically produce a wide range of high-tech products and equipment such as 3D printers, next-generation industrial robots, 5G telecommunications equipment, long-range ballistic missiles, nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, etc. At the same time, its research and development capabilities in strategic technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), cloud computing, and advanced semiconductor chip manufacturing have also been dramatically improved. These achievements have helped China reduce its dependence on imported technology and enhance the competitiveness of key industries.

However, to truly become a leading industrial and technological superpower as it aims to be, China still faces many obstacles. Several core weaknesses remain unresolved, such as the somewhat lower quality of its products and services compared to developed countries. Furthermore, restrictions on technology transfer from Western countries are a major challenge China is currently facing. To achieve ultimate success, the Chinese government needs to implement more fundamental and systematic solutions. The key is to promote innovation, protect intellectual property, and improve the quality of its human resources. Simultaneously, strengthening international integration and cooperation is also essential to give the country the opportunity to acquire the most advanced technologies from other nations.

If existing weaknesses can be overcome, Made in China 2025 will undoubtedly be a crucial stepping stone for China to realize its dream of becoming a leading global manufacturing and technological powerhouse by 2050. The strong rise of China's industry and technology will certainly have a profound impact on the global economic and political order. Current economic powers such as the US, EU, and Japan, as well as emerging economies like Vietnam and India, all need appropriate strategies and solutions to adapt to this new trend from China.

In particular, the United States and the European Union (EU) have continuously made drastic moves to protect their leadership in technology and limit the rise of China. Meanwhile, the country has a number of core issues that need to be resolved such as sustainability, low economic efficiency, too much dependence on importing advanced technology from abroad,...

However, to truly become a leading industrial and technological superpower as its goal, China's road ahead still has many thorns. There are still some core weaknesses that have not been completely overcome, such as product and service quality being somewhat lower than in developed countries. Or being restricted from technology transfer by Western countries is also a big challenge that China is facing. To achieve ultimate success, the Chinese Government needs to come up with more fundamental and methodical solutions. The key point is to promote innovation, protect intellectual property and improve the quality of human resources. At the same time, strengthening international integration and cooperation is also necessary so that this country has the opportunity to absorb the most modern technology from other countries.

If existing weaknesses can be overcome, Made in China 2025 will certainly be an important stepping stone to help China realize its dream of becoming the world's leading manufacturing and technological power by 2050.
