      The construction of China's first national-level bio-manufacturing innovation center began on Sunday in Shenzhen, a tech hub in south China's Guangdong Province.

      The center, led by the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology (SIAT) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and supported by industry leaders, is located in the Guangming Science City in Shenzhen.

      Featuring six major technological platforms including an automated bio-manufacturing platform and a bioinformatics computational support platform, the center is expected to revolutionize the traditional bio-manufacturing industry through the application of cutting-edge technologies.

      "Our six [technological] platforms allow to develop different processes simultaneously in a short period of time, so as to meet the demands for lab-scale and pilot-scale tests in different subdivisions of bio-manufacturing, which will significantly shorten the time cycle from the initial lab research when the results are originally created to state when they are finally industrialized into products," said Liu Chenli, vice president of the SIAT and director of the innovation center.

      Once completed, the center will collaborate with other innovation platforms in the Guangming Science City, such as the Major Scientific and Technological Infrastructure for Synthetic Biology Research and the Industrial Innovation Center for Engineering Biology, enhancing synergy among laboratories, upstream and downstream companies, and fostering a comprehensive innovation ecosystem in synthetic bio-manufacturing.

      China in 2024 saw a faster transformation and upgrading of investment in manufacturing industry, a strong growth of investment in high-tech industries, and a rebound of investment in infrastructure construction, according to the latest data released by the National Bureau of Statistics on Saturday.

      The investment in manufacturing industry grew by 9.2 percent compared to the previous year, or six percentage points higher than the growth rate of overall investment. In particular, investment in technological upgrades of manufacturing industry increased by eight percent, or 4.8 percentage points higher than overall investment growth.

      Private investment in manufacturing grew by 10.8 percent, driving up overall private investment by 5.3 percentage points.

      The structure of investment continued to optimize. Investment in high-tech industries rose eight percent compared to the previous year, which was 4.8 percentage points higher than the growth rate of overall investment. In particular, investment in high-tech manufacturing grew by seven percent, and that in high-tech service industry grew by 10.2 percent. Investments related to high-tech industries, such as aerospace equipment manufacturing and professional technical services, increased by more than 30 percent.

      In 2025, China plans to moderately increase central government budgetary investments, issue ultra-long-term special treasury bonds and local government special bonds, and enhance efforts to support projects for implementing major national strategies and building security capacity in key areas, as well as implementation of large-scale equipment upgrades and consumer goods trade-in programs, with the aim of stimulating private investment activity through various measures, effectively leveraging government investment to drive social investment, improving investment efficiency, and promoting steady growth in investments.
