Recently, an article from the National Development and Reform Commission once again published “Promoting the high-quality development of the shipbuilding industry through comprehensive opening up”. The article stressed that China’s shipbuilding industry has always adhered to the path of development through opening up to the outside world, and stated that the full opening up of China’s shipbuilding industry conforms to the trend of economic globalisation, meets the requirements of global industrial division of labour and cooperation, matches the practical needs of China’s industrial development, and is of great significance to the high-quality development of the shipbuilding industry.

Through comprehensive opening up, Chinese and foreign enterprises compete fairly and cooperate pragmatically in the same market environment, and will surely usher in a future of mutual benefit and win-win results.

The article said that it is necessary to strengthen situational analysis and judgement, grasp the new trends in the development of the industry, and push forward the high-quality development of China’s shipbuilding industry.
