The State Council recently announced the establishment of a national leading group for the upgrading of the country's manufacturing sector, with Vice-Premier Ma Kai appointed as head of the group. One of the group's main responsibilities will be planning and coordinating the overall work to raise the country's manufacturing power.

日前，国务院宣布成立国家制造强国建设领导小组，国务院副总理马凯任组长。该小组具体职责包括统筹协调国家制造强国建设全局性工作。

“制造强国”可以用manufacturing power表示。成立国家制造强国建设领导小组包括在《中国制造2025》规划（"Made in China 2025" plan）中。该小组的具体职责还包括审议推动制造业发展的重大工程专项（reviewing and propelling major manufacturing projects），加强战略谋划，指导各地区、各部门开展工作（directing relevant works in various regions and sectors），协调跨地区、跨部门重要事项，加强对重要事项落实情况的督促检查（supervising and inspecting the implementation of major tasks）。

领导小组将制定新产业发展规划（draw up plans for new industries），同时组织各部门、地方发挥和协调技术、资源优势，向中国智造（intelligent / smart manufacturing）转变，未来细分领域的产业规划和扶持政策（supportive policies and plans for various industries）预计出台会相对密集。
