On May 19, 2015, China’s State Council issued a long-range planning document that specifically designates China’s unmanned aerial systems (UAS) industry as a “key sector” to benefit from significant funding and other targeted support by the Government of China (GOC) for decades to come.

The Made In China 2025 Plan creates a blueprint for the first phase of the GOC’s 30-year strategy to transform its manufacturing sector by 2049, which marks the 100th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China. The Made In China 2025 Plan was drafted “in line with the rapid advances in science and technology” to promote “breakthroughs in ten key sectors,” including UAS and other aerospace equipment.
