China will also accelerate the development of emerging industries.

"We will accelerate R&D on and commercialization of new materials, artificial intelligence, integrated circuits, bio-pharmacy, 5G mobile communications, and other technologies, and develop industrial clusters in these fields," the report read.

The government will continue to support and guide the development of the sharing economy, the report said, adding regulatory rules will be formulated for emerging industries with the principle of "encouraging innovation and conducting regulation in a tolerant and prudent way."
