Private businesses power China's tech-driven industrial transition

Peoples Daily | English | News | Nov. 7, 2025 | UndeterminedTech Development/Adoption

Private businesses are playing a crucial role in driving China's tech-driven industrial transition, particularly in advanced sectors such as new energy vehicles (NEVs), intelligent manufacturing, and green energy. Seres Group, a technology-based manufacturer in Chongqing, exemplifies this trend, operating three super factories producing over 300,000 NEVs and generating revenue exceeding 110 billion yuan in the first three quarters of 2025. In Chongqing, the private sector's economic contribution has grown significantly, with its added value increasing from 1.48 trillion yuan to 1.98 trillion yuan during the 14th Five-Year Plan period (2021-2025) and its share of local GDP rising from 59 percent to 61.6 percent.

Another notable private enterprise, Huafon Group, has invested over 26 billion yuan in Chongqing since 2010, building world-class chemical production facilities and generating more than 200 billion yuan in output value. The company's digital transformation has been key to upgrading its industrial and product value chains, fostering a new materials industrial ecosystem. Chinese private firms nationwide are leveraging digital technologies such as 5G and cloud computing to align with the country's development strategies, contributing over 70 percent to the nation's new technological innovations in 2024.

The Chinese government supports this growth through policy measures aimed at improving business environments and facilitating financing for private enterprises, with provinces like Shaanxi and Chongqing leading initiatives focused on digital transformation and technological innovation. The recent Global Chongqing Entrepreneurs Conference attracted participants from over 50 countries, resulting in contracts worth 56.7 billion yuan in sectors such as smart manufacturing, AI, and NEVs. HKC Corporation plans to develop smarter and greener production lines in Chongqing, highlighting ongoing collaboration to foster high-quality development in the region.
