On October 23, the Central Cyberspace Affairs Commission unveiled the National Informatization ‘15th Five-Year Plan’, outlining a strategic roadmap to propel China’s digital transformation. The plan prioritizes the development of high-performance artificial intelligence (AI) chips and resilient basic software stacks, while advancing the integration of intelligent technologies across mobile devices, computers, and wearables. A key focus is placed on embodied intelligence—encompassing autonomous vehicle systems and humanoid robots—to drive innovation in real-world applications.
The document also underscores breakthroughs in quantum technologies, including computing, communication, and precision measurement, to secure a competitive edge in next-generation science. To safeguard digital infrastructure, it mandates accelerated research into quantum-resistant cryptographic algorithms and quantum security protocols. Furthermore, the plan champions brain-computer interface (BCI) systems, with efforts directed toward signal acquisition hardware, neural decoding algorithms, and applications spanning medical diagnostics, therapeutic interventions, and immersive virtual-reality interactions.
