Core Viewpoint - The production service industry has five strategic functions that are crucial for economic development and should be given high importance [1][4]. Group 1: Strategic Functions of Production Service Industry - The production service industry is a growth driver for GDP and often becomes the largest sector in developed economies [1]. - It serves as the driving force for high-quality development in manufacturing, being the largest sector for unicorn companies globally [1]. - The production service industry is a growth engine for service trade, with insufficient development in China leading to a reliance on imported production services [1]. - It forms the basis for high added value in products, as seen in the example of a smartphone where a significant portion of the price is derived from production services [2]. - The production service industry is essential for the development of total factor productivity, requiring knowledge and talent-intensive inputs [2]. Group 2: Current Status and Challenges - Despite significant achievements in manufacturing, China lags in the production service industry, reflected in five key indicators: low GDP share, low service trade proportion, low manufacturing profit margins, low unicorn representation, and low total factor productivity [4]. - The goal for the period from 2021 to 2040 is to address these shortcomings by focusing on the development of the production service industry to promote high-quality manufacturing and the healthy development of new productivity [4].
