When the Made in China 2025 Plan was issued in 2015, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce helped lead our members and other stakeholders in understanding the implications of the Plan, including the industrial policies, regulatory tools, and security measures that would be deployed to drive its success.

The Plan, which contained aggressive localization targets across 10 advanced industrial sectors, represented a dramatic evolution in China’s approach to industrial development, with the clear intent to advantage domestic companies and technologies to gain a competitive advantage over foreign companies and technologies.

Now, in 2025, the concluding year of the Plan’s 10-year campaign, the U.S. Chamber believes it is critical to again help our members and other stakeholders understand what has happened in the targeted sectors over the last 10 years, why it has happened, and the trajectory going forward.
The U.S. Chamber is therefore pleased to present this report, prepared independently by Rhodium Group, assessing China's Made in China 2025 (MIC25) policy.

This comprehensive analysis highlights the policy's implications for global manufacturing and innovation. It offers detailed insights into MIC25's goals, strategies, and impacts, covering financial policies, market access, and national security reviews.

This report is an independent product of Rhodium Group. Its rigorous analysis and scrupulous absence of bias ensure the credibility and integrity of the paper. The research involved was extensive, involving numerous interviews and surveys with industry experts, policymakers, and other stakeholders. 

This report reflects the U.S. Chamber's commitment to transparency and excellence, empowering our members and policymakers with the knowledge needed to navigate global economic policies.
