Expanding business scope by increasing exports of high-value products, with a trade surplus of $1.19 trillion in 2025 [30]. 2. Extending the industrial chain by integrating vertically to reduce dependency on external raw materials [32]. 3. Innovating through technology to replace expensive raw materials, such as the development of sodium-ion batteries as an alternative to lithium-ion [33]. Group 5: Conclusion - The article concludes that the current challenges faced by Chinese manufacturing are indicative of a need for a strategic overhaul, requiring not only corporate efforts but also broader political and economic support to regain control over the industrial chain [28][34].
