China has made significant strides in laser technology, breaking decades of foreign dominance and positioning itself among the world's top innovators. Ma Xinqiang, a deputy to the 14th National People's Congress (NPC) and chairman of Huagong Technology, announced this advancement on Saturday.
Laser technology plays a crucial role in the manufacturing of 70 percent of components used in industries such as smartphones and automotive production. Historically, China's progress in this field was hindered by foreign technology controls. However, by prioritizing domestic innovation, China has successfully overcome these dependencies, Ma explained during a group interview ahead of the second plenary meeting of the third session of the 14th NPC.
This breakthrough not only enhances China's manufacturing capabilities but also reduces reliance on foreign technologies, paving the way for sustained growth and competitiveness in key global markets. As China joins the ranks of global front-runners in laser technology, the implications for international business and technology trends are profound.
