Beijing’s ‘Made in China’ Plan Is Narrowing Tech Gap, Study Finds

From WSJ entitled, "Beijing’s ‘Made in China’ Plan Is Narrowing Tech
Gap, Study Finds."
"An industrial plan China rolled out a decade ago that was criticized by
the U.S. as protectionist has been highly successful in narrowing
China’s technological gap with the West, a new study finds.
The study, commissioned by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, is set to
intensify the debate in Washington and elsewhere over how to counter
China’s use of state subsidies and other strategies to bolster its
competitiveness.
To placate President Trump during his first-term trade war with China,
Beijing dropped mentions of the “Made in China 2025” plan,” leader Xi
Jinping’s signature industrial strategy, from public discourse. But the
policy stayed in place."
