Deputies to the NPC said Tuesday that Chinese businesses should continue to innovate and embrace the national strategies to achieve transformation in the new digital era.

DAI JISHUANG, CHAIRMAN SHENYANG BLOWER WORKS GROUP "The first point is reform. We need to further deepen reforms and establish innovation systems and mechanisms that can provide market competitiveness and motivation. The second point is innovation. Only by keeping innovating can we master core technologies and develop cutting-edge products. The third is transformation. We need to step up efforts to switch to high-end equipment, intelligent manufacturing and service-oriented manufacturing so as to reach the top end of the our industrial chain. The fourth is talent. We need to establish a platform that can help high-end talent develop and innovate."

LIANG WENGEN, FOUNDING CHAIRMAN SANY GROUP "We are facing two major strategic opportunities: the Chinese dream of national rejuvenation and the wave of new technologies, or the so-called fourth Industrial Revolution. If we can seize the two extraordinary opportunities and complete our transition to digital and intelligent manufacturing in a faster and better manner, China will surely transform itself from a big power to a strong power in manufacturing."
