BEIJING: China’s 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-2030) offers a clear direction for the country and opportunities for the world, especially in terms of intelligence, sustainability and green practices, says Rockwell Automation China president Ian Shih,
“The plan is straightforward, giving multinational corporations clear directions to develop their businesses in China,” he said.
“China’s economic resilience lies in the fact that the country covers over 600 sub-industries in the world.
“The completeness of the industrial coverage gives it a complete capability to serve not only the Chinese market, but also the global economy.
