Microsoft President Brad Smith announces a $10 billion investment in Japan from 2026 to 2029, focusing on AI infrastructure, cybersecurity, and training more than 1 million workers by 2030.
China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology released a 2026 manufacturing industry upgrade blueprint.
According to the blueprint, China will upgrade its industrial base within five years, promote digital transformation of industries, and strengthen technological self-sufficiency.
The government has identified ten major development priority areas, including artificial intelligence, robotics, and aerospace technology.
China committed to increasing scientific and technology budgets by 10% annually and plans to increase research and development investment by 7% or more.
Automation, intelligent factories, and green manufacturing technology have been identified as three key drivers.
Experts believe this strategy will enable China to maintain global manufacturing industry competitiveness.
