“Made in China 2025” and “Industrie 4.0”—In Motion Together

On October 29, 2015, China’s national news agency Xinhua received official permission to publish the communique of the fifth committee conference of the 13th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. Via Xinhua’s online platform Xinhuanet (www.new.cn), a media portal with the most influential power and range in China and beyond, this communique increasingly caught the attention of the international public. Simultaneously, the paper was consulted as a programmatic document in the analysis, explanation and evaluation of Chinese development.
