　　"We will strive to optimize the environment for the sector's development, streamline policies and standards, and compile guidelines for the development of the software and big-data industry in the 13th five-year period. We will also continue to boost innovation in the industry, encourage cooperation between software developers and enterprises in the manufacturing sector, and give more support to the improvement of internet security technologies."

　　Chen Wei, head of the ministry's information services department, says the development of software technology will heavily influence the development of the world.

　　"Software and technology are playing a growing role in the manufacturing industry. Software-driven equipment has found wider application, resulting in the birth of "intelligent manufacturing." We can clearly see the decisive role of software in this trend and it's why we can say that software will decide how the future world looks like."
