What is 'innovation'?
Innovation refers to creating new ideas, methods, or products. In the context of China's £14.7bn plan, it means pushing the boundaries of technology and manufacturing, particularly in robotics. This drive aims to move China beyond simply producing goods to leading the world in developing cutting-edge technologies and advanced industrial processes.
