In January 2017, China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology published guidelines that aim for China’s stable supply of advanced basic materials by 2020, while making technological breakthroughs in frontier materials, such as silicon and namometer products. The new policy of developing advanced materials also supports the concept of a ‘Circular Economy’ that was announced during the 18th Congress, which seeks to promote greater resource productivity and reduction of waste and pollution.
