It was mentioned that in order to realize a modern industrial system, China will adhere to focusing on economic development of the real economy, promoting a new type of industrialization, and providing strong support for increasing China"s strength in science and technology, product quality, aerospace, cyberspace, and transportation, and for building a digital China and a smart society.
The top five banks, the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC), the Bank of China (BOC), China Construction Bank (CCB), the Bank of Communications (BOCOM), and the Agricultural Bank of China (ABC), all issued statements on Sunday, committed to further supporting and stabilizing the development of the real economy with enhanced financial investment.
