INTRODUCTION

China is preparing to announce a plan known as “China Standards 2035”. Its main objectives are to inspire the next generation technologies varying from telecommunication and ‘flow of data’ to artificial intelligence (AI). These Standards will mainly be focusing on execution of One Strategy, Two Actions and Three Projects.

‘One Strategy’, to speed up execution of Standardization Administration of China (SAC). This will promote the standardization strategy. ‘Two Actions’, to standardized achievement actions and standardization actions. ‘Three Projects’, refers to – Standards Upgrade Project, – New Industry & New Growth Driver Standards Pilot Project and – Domestic & Foreign Standards Mutual Recognition Project.

In addition to this, These plans also focuses on standards in developing industries such as high-end equipment manufacturing, new materials, additive manufacturing, industrial internet, cyber security, new energy, unmanned vehicles, and ecological industry.

The plans “Made in China 2025” offers China to achieve independence in 10 tech sectors by the year 2025. However, unfortunately these plans got leaked to Taiwanese media. As a result it didn’t work. So to overcome the damage Beijing is now changing to a strategy known as ‘China Standard 2035’.

These plan will speeds up the production of virtual systems connecting several industries: Social Credit system, LOGINK, medical as well as user standards.

The plan has been planning from 2 years following the ‘Made in China 2025’ plan. However this time the main focus is on technologies which defines our future.

Emily de La Bruyere told CNBC

“The diagnosis is, we are entering an era that will be defined by new technological systems and networks and technologies and the leaders in those are yet to be determined and this gives China the opportunity to determine that”.

What are ‘CHINA STANDARDS’?

Tech all over the world have some standards which defines how they work well. Their interoperability defines how the system is working. Telecommunication industries would be a good example. These standards gives new motivation in a country.

5G is a prominent example. These inventions takes years of planning and development. These technical specifications are implemented and combined together to become a known ‘Standard’. Standards are in the back of many of the technologies we use today. Smartphones could be a good example. These standards are built through teamwork between several expert companies.

However, China played an active role over the past several years. Taking example of 5G Elsa Kania told CNBC

“5G is a prominent example in so far as, 5G is the case we have seen the most aggressive companies not just to set standards at home but to actively shape global standards setting”

According to a research Chinese company Huawei is one of the leading companies supporting 5G networking equipment’s. It has the most number of gadgets containing 5G technology.

The Plan

To control innovative technologies like Artificial Intelligence, Internet of Things (IoT), and cloud computing. China aims to speed up its efforts to build technical standards. In other words, spreading them to international markets.

Globally these technologies have not been yet recognized. However, for china, this is the ‘Golden opportunity’ for industries and standards to ‘overtake by changing lanes’. That means searching shortcuts to beat other countries and to become a leader.

China has already started to increase its share around the globe in terms of technology. Therefore by doing so, China wouldn’t need to depend upon foreign technologies. Additionally, it allows Chinese companies to gain respect as well as financial causes. They can sell their patents everywhere causing them to gain economic advantages.

China Standards 2035- Beijing’s effort to organize and accelerate the self-made plans and products. Standardization Administration will choose 10,000 different companies from 100 urban communities to uplift China’s standards and permit them to accomplish consistency with international standards.

What do we think about the strategy?

Emily de La and Nathan Picarsic said this portraits a vision of what could be there in the blueprint for China Standards 2035.

Several points in the blueprint was to push to progress standards across different industries, from agricultural to manufacturing. On the other hand another section highlights the need to improve a new generation technology standard system. Within the same section, they mainly focuses on cloud computing, 5G, big data handling, internet of things (IoT), and Artificial Intelligence (AI). These future technologies would improve the infrastructure on China in terms of tech.

The blueprint also highlights the need to “participate in the formulation of international standards” and China should progress more proposition for universal standards. China is attempting to up its games. The huge shortcomings in the economy is the way that nothing occurs in a standardized manner across time, distance and space. You have various fundamentals in this city, various daily necessities, said Andrew Polk.

He added,

“China standards 2035 is mixture of local demands and the need to progress their own proficiency and their longing to set the principles, truly and metaphorically, abroad”

An official has said it was the ‘Golden Opportunity’ for China to “surpass” the rest of the world.

Future Challenges to Face

China may have bigger goals but ignoring the supremacy of Europe and U.S won’t be easy for them.

Naomi Wilson, senior director at ITI council said,

“In fact, U.S. and multinational companies are still largely regarded as the most influential participants in ICT-related standards bodies — based on their technical leadership and expertise, deep understanding of standards processes and rules, quality of contributions, and consistent participation over time.”

Therefore China will need to increase the quality of the products as well as companies which are taking part in international standards. Moreover, China will need to adopt companies that have ability to do “what Huawei is doing, but in a variety of different technology sectors”, said Andrew Polk.

Generally the companies with the finest, highest, the greatest and the best technology standards wins the race. As a result companies in Europe and U.S have advantages over some of the Chinese companies. Andrew told CNBC that, “they have highly advance companies”. China won’t be able to win the race in terms of standards and technology in various sectors. Specifically they have to work like “Huawei’s” in other sectors.
