It is also using tools such as export controls to entrench its position in global supply chains and counter foreign diversification strategies.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>The warning came in the preface to a report on new Chinese industrial policies produced for the chamber by Rhodium Group, a consultancy. The chamber said the world had underestimated previous Chinese policies, including the Made in China 2025 programme to make the country more self-reliant in critical technologies.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cThe challenge the world now faces is not the result of an intelligence gap\u2009.\u2009.\u2009.\u2009Reports were published. The warnings reached senior levels of government and industry across major economies. Yet in too many cases, the response was insufficient,\u201d the chamber concluded.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>The report comes as President Donald Trump prepares to visit Beijing this week for a two-day summit with his counterpart Xi Jinping. Immediately after the leaders met in South Korea in October, Treasury secretary Scott Bessent told the FT he <a title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/archive.is\/o\/snjef\/https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/399ad440-ecd3-4fb0-b97d-a0d8e0a8a22c\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">had warned Europe<\/a> and others that Chinese exports would flow elsewhere after the US erected a \u201ctariff wall\u201d.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Rhodium said China\u2019s industrial policy was evolving from sectoral intervention to an \u201cindustrial policy of everything\u201d. It said Beijing wanted to extend its dominance in industries such as critical minerals and magnets to a broader range of industrial products. Beijing was also putting more attention on services, it added.<\/div>\n<div>The report said sustained government support and weak domestic demand had driven a rapid expansion of its goods trade surplus \u2014 doubling to $2tn since 2019 \u2014 in what some have dubbed \u201c<a title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/archive.is\/o\/snjef\/https:\/\/www.ft.com\/china-shock\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">China Shock 2.0<\/a>\u201d as the country rapidly moves away from an economy based on low-cost manufacturing.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>It said China was making significant gains in industries such as chemicals, machinery and industrial equipment, following earlier significant expansion of market share in industries such as electric vehicles and clean energy.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cGlobal reliance on Chinese supply chains is deepening across a growing number of critical products,\u201d Rhodium said, adding that China was using regulation and economic coercion to reinforce control over key supply chains. \u201cThe window for effective policy response is narrowing,\u201d it added.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Camille Boullenois, lead author of the report, told the FT that China\u2019s evolving industrial policies posed a \u201creal threat\u201d to the economic engine of countries such as Germany and other advanced industrial economies.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\u201cChina\u2019s rise is broadly eroding some of the last areas where they still have a technological and industrial edge, like chemicals, autos, machinery and robotics,\u201d she said. \u201cChina is gaining market share incredibly fast in these sectors. If countries don\u2019t react now, the industrial landscape could look very different in just a few years.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>The report noted that China\u2019s most <a title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/archive.is\/o\/snjef\/https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/0d446a83-4b37-45b7-bbb1-276f2fde9dd3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">recent five-year plan<\/a> had for the first time included a focus on advanced technologies such as biomanufacturing, nuclear fusion energy and brain-computer interfaces. This suggested that its industrial policy was evolving from focusing on strategic sectors to a \u201cbroader effort to reshape the entire industrial ecosystem\u201d.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>The trade surplus growth represented success moving up the production value chain and exporting high-tech goods but also its success substituting domestic products for imports.<\/div>\n<aside aria-labelledby=\"aside-label\">\n<div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/archive.is\/o\/snjef\/https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/7d51a630-a3de-4cc7-9f5f-0f3e7f0d305a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">China shock 2.0: the flood of high-tech goods that will change the world<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dg8sinapgnv9h1.archive.is\/snjef\/f961962d8e55621c86aba4f03260094e3fd6e004.jpg\" alt=\"Workers on the assembly line for electric vehicles at the BYD Co. factory in Zhengzhou, Henan province, China; on the right, solar panels at a photovoltaic power station at the Dunhuang Photovoltaic Industrial Park in Dunhuang, Gansu Province, China\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<div>Chinese companies are also becoming more reliant on <a title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/archive.is\/o\/snjef\/https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/c5331853-1633-4480-a15a-9580a166a314\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">revenues from sales outside China<\/a>.
