Features: This book focuses on how to understand and advance China's new industrialization. It re-examines the historical process of industrialization and related theories, explores the historical background and characteristics of China's current industrialization drive, and describes in detail the transformation mechanisms of China's leading industries and future development trends since the reform and opening-up. The book provides in-depth analysis of important issues such as international industrial transfer, industrial cluster development, growth of modern services, energy and other critical resource constraints, environmental limitations, and the transformation of government functions during the current and near-future industrialization process. It summarizes the essence of advancing new industrialization at the current stage as the transformation of the economic growth model. In response to discussions and debates over an extended period, such as accelerated growth of the heavy industry sector, industrial chain upgrading, resource constraints, local industrial development choices, and the relationship between manufacturing and service industries, the book conducts thorough explorations and proposes objectives, strategies, and policy choices for the transformation of the growth model.
