China marks 77th anniversary as tech leader and Tajikistan strategic partner

China marks the 77th anniversary of its founding on October 1, reflecting a transition from a closed agrarian economy to a global industrial and technological hub. This shift began with the reform and opening-up policies of the late 1970s, which pivoted the national economy from agriculture toward mass production, urban development, and the construction of transport networks. Current growth is driven by a change in export composition. China has moved from producing simple goods to developing complex systems in robotics, biomedicine, and artificial intelligence. This transition is evident in the energy sector, where China is now the leading producer of electric vehicles, wind turbines, and solar panels, reducing its reliance on fossil fuels. Technological milestones include the deployment of the BeiDou navigation system and the Tiangong orbital station. Domestically, a high-speed rail network has integrated regional markets for labor and goods.
