“今年9月，平陆运河建成通航后，将直接开辟广西及西南地区通往东盟地区运距最短、最经济、最便捷的国际水运大通道。”全国人大代表、广西壮族自治区主席韦韬全国两会期间接受中新网记者专访时说，这将更好助力广西通江达海、汇聚全球资源要素。
对于地处中国南疆的广西而言，2026年有着特殊的意义——这是“十五五”开局之年，也是这片沿海沿边沿江的土地，试图在制造业版图上写下新注脚的一年。韦韬在专访中详细阐释了广西谋划已久的“制造业十大现代化支柱产业”。这份涵盖有色金属及关键金属材料、先进钢铁材料、人工智能及新一代信息技术、新能源汽车及电池等领域的产业清单，被视为广西在未来五年现代化产业体系的“骨架”。
“我们不是从零开始”
“制造业是国民经济的重要支柱，保持制造业合理比重，对于加快建设以实体经济为支撑的现代化产业体系，促进经济稳增长、调结构至关重要。”谈及为何选择发展制造业十大现代化支柱产业，韦韬表示，这是基于广西资源禀赋、产业基础、竞争优势作出的战略考量。
从资源禀赋看，广西是我国十大重点有色金属产区之一，铝、锰、锡、锑、铟等矿产储量居全国前列；全国每3勺糖有2勺来自广西，水果产量连续8年居全国第一，人工林面积全国第一。
从产业基础看，糖、铝、机械、冶金等传统优势产业是广西经济发展的家底。经过多年培育，已形成有色金属1个4000亿级产业，钢铁、食品2个3000亿级产业，机械、石化化工等4个2000亿级产业，汽车、电子信息等3个1000亿级产业。新能源、新材料、新能源汽车正加快迈向千亿级。
从竞争优势看，广西是我国唯一与东盟陆海相连的省区，连接着中国与东盟两个广阔市场。北部湾港集装箱航线通达全球100多个国家和地区的200多个港口，海铁联运班列突破万列，集装箱吞吐量去年历史性突破千万标箱。平陆运河的通航，将进一步激活这一区位优势。广西正谋划发挥运河“大进大出”优势，聚焦制造业十大现代化支柱产业，统筹通道、物流、经贸与产业协同发展，加快打造平陆运河经济带。
此外，国家层面也给予广西一系列政策支持，包括建设钦防产业协作园区、沿边临港产业园区、面向东盟的金融开放门户、国家综合能源安全保障区等，有利于广西进一步加强资金、能源、数据等要素保障，加快构建跨区域跨境产业链供应链。
“我们谋划制造业十大现代化支柱产业，就是服务国家所需、发挥广西所能，顺应智能化、绿色化、融合化趋势，打破传统、新兴与未来产业的界限，加快结构调整、主动转型升级，集中力量打造一批优势明显、规模较大、带动力强的先进产业，为未来发展赢得主动。”韦韬说。
强化保障推动产业落地
对于如何推动十大产业落地，韦韬介绍了自治区提出的发展目标：打造1个万亿元产业（有色金属及关键金属材料），2个五千亿元产业（先进钢铁材料、食品加工），3个四千亿元产业（林产加工及纸业、现代绿色化工、人工智能及新一代信息技术），以及4个超千亿元产业。
为实现这些目标，广西建立了“五个一”工作推进机制，强化统筹协调，着力解决跨区域、跨部门的重大事项：由韦韬担任总链长牵头抓总，每个产业明确一名自治区副主席担任链长，成立一个工作专班，制定一个行动计划，设立一支产业基金，支持一批链主企业。
在财政金融支持方面，自治区政府投资引导基金已参与设立36支、总规模近700亿元的产业发展基金，专项支持十大支柱产业。2026年计划撬动千亿元惠企资金支持制造业发展。
在具体行动层面，广西将推进补链强链延链行动、先进制造业集群培育行动、大规模设备更新行动，同时实施战略性新兴产业倍增计划，发展智能制造、绿色制造。此外，广西已印发《“人工智能+制造”行动方案（2025—2027年）》，着力推动人工智能赋能新型工业化，力争到2027年人工智能相关产业产值突破1000亿元，初步建成面向东盟的人工智能产业高地。
实施强龙头育链主行动
在企业发展层面，广西正在实施强龙头育链主行动，力争到2028年在十大支柱产业累计培育100家以上链主企业。

在创新引领方面，广西将支持链主企业联合高校、科研院所开展关键技术攻关，每年组织开展产业链关键核心技术攻关100项以上，重点支持突破4N级高纯铝等关键材料技术。
同时，广西将支持链主企业实施设备换芯、机器换人、生产换线，打造一批数字化车间、智能工厂。
“去年，广西克服一系列困难挑战，推动全区经济增长5.1%、实现高于预期目标、高于上年同期、高于全国“三个高于”，规上工业增加值增长7.7%、连续4年高于全国平均增速，一般公共预算收入首次突破1900亿元，外贸进出口总额突破8000亿元，交出了一份多年未有的优秀成绩单。当前，广西获得的中央支持前所未有、面临的开放发展机遇前所未有、凝心聚力推动发展的精气神前所未有，正在发生深刻的思想之变、格局之变、思路之变、作风之变，高质量发展其时已至、其势渐成、其兴可待，正迎来历史最好发展时期。”韦韬表示，广西将持续优化营商环境，为企业在桂投资发展提供优质服务，让“投资广西就是投资未来”成为越来越多企业的共识。
对于境外投资者而言，广西的产业逻辑清晰可见：依托资源禀赋和产业基础，借助区位优势和政策红利，在十大支柱产业领域形成规模效应和竞争优势。
“十五五”开局之年，广西的制造业棋局已然铺开。对于关注中国—东盟产业链供应链深度合作的投资者而言，这片土地正释放出新的想象空间。（完）
Guangxi’s15th Five-Year Plan Strategy:Building a Solid Foundation of Industrial System with Ten Modernized Pillar Manufacturing Industries
By Long Tuyou,Jiang Xuelin
“In September,the completion and operation of Pinglu Canal will directly create the shortest,most cost-effective and most convenient international waterway transportation route for Guangxi and Southwest China to access ASEAN.”Wei Tao,Deputy to the National People’s Congress and Chairman of the People’s Government of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region,said in an exclusive interview with China News Service during the Two Sessions.This will better enable Guangxi to connect rivers and seas and gather global resources and factors of production.
For Guangxi,located in China’s southern frontier,2026holds special significance.2026 marks the start of the15th Five-Year Plan period,and a year when this coastal,border and riverine region seeks to add new footnotes in its manufacturing landscape.In the interview,Wei Tao elaborated on Guangxi’s long-planned Ten Modernized Pillar Manufacturing Industries.This industrial portfolio,covering non-ferrous metals,critical metal materials,advanced steel materials,artificial intelligence,new-generation information technology,new energy vehicles and batteries,is regarded as the“skeleton”of Guangxi’s modernized industrial system for the next five years.
We Are Not Starting from Scratch
“Manufacturing industry is a key pillar of the national economy.Maintaining an appropriate share of manufacturing industry is crucial to accelerating the development of a modernized industrial system underpinned by the real economy,as well as to ensuring stable economic growth and advancing structural adjustment.”When discussing why Guangxi chose to develop the Ten modernized Pillar Manufacturing Industries,Wei Tao noted that this is a strategic decision based on Guangxi’s resource endowments,industrial foundations and competitive advantages.
With regard to its resource endowments,Guangxi is one of China’s top ten key non-ferrous metal production areas,with reserves of aluminum,manganese,tin,antimony,indium and other minerals ranking among the highest in the country.Two out of every three spoons of sugar in China are produced by Guangxi.Its fruit output has ranked first nationwide for eight consecutive years,and its artificial forest area is also the largest in China.
In terms of its industrial foundations,traditional pillar industries such as sugar,aluminum,machinery and metallurgy laid the foundation of Guangxi’s economic development.Thanks to years of progress,Guangxi is now been home to one400-billion-yuan non-ferrous metal industry,two300-billion-yuan industries in steel and food,four200-billion-yuan industries in machinery,petrochemicals and chemicals,etc.,and three100-billion-yuan industries in automobiles,electronic information,etc.In particular,some of the emerging sectors such as new energy,new materials and new energy vehicles are swiftly moving toward the100-billion-yuan scale.
Concerning to its competitive advantages,Guangxi serves as the only province/autonomous region in China connected to ASEAN by both land and sea,linking the vast markets of China and ASEAN.Container routes from Beibu Gulf Port reach more than200ports in over100countries and regions worldwide;sea-rail intermodal trains have exceeded10,000trips,and container throughput hit a historic high of over10million TEUs last year.The opening of the Pinglu Canal will further unlock this geographical potential.Guangxi is planning to leverage the“large-scale inbound and outbound”capability of the canal,focus on the Ten Modernized Pillar Manufacturing Industries,and put routes and corridors,logistics,trade and industries in coordinating development.All of this aims to accelerate the building of the Pinglu Canal Economic Belt.
In addition,the state has provided a raft of policy supports for Guangxi,including the construction of Qin-Fang Industrial Collaboration Parks,border and port-side industrial parks,a financial opening-up gateway facing ASEAN,and a national comprehensive energy security zone.These policies will enable Guangxi to further strengthen the security of capital,energy,data and other factors,and accelerate the building of cross-regional and cross-border industrial and supply chains.
“We have formulated plans for developing the Ten Modernized Pillar Manufacturing Industries to meet the needs of the country and leverage Guangxi’s strengths.In line with the trend of smart development,green transition and integrated growth,we will break down the boundaries between traditional,emerging and future-oriented industries,accelerate structural adjustment and pursue transformation and upgrading.We will pool efforts to build a number of advanced industries with distinct advantages,large scale and strong driving force,so as to seize the initiative for future development,”Wei Tao said.
Enhance Safeguards to Boost Industrial Project Implementation
For advancing the development of the ten pillar industries,Wei Tao outlined the development goals set by the autonomous region:fostering one trillion-yuan industry in non-ferrous metals and critical metal materials,two500-billion-yuan industries in advanced steel materials and food processing,three400-billion-yuan industries in forest product processing and papermaking,modern green chemicals,artificial intelligence and new-generation information technology,as well as four industries exceeding100billion yuan.
To achieve these goals,Guangxi has established the“Five Ones”Work Promotion Mechanism to strengthen overall coordination and address major cross-regional and cross-departmental issues.Under the mechanism,Wei Tao serves as the Chief Chain Leader to oversee overall work;each industry is assigned a Vice Chairman of the autonomous region as its Chain Leader;a dedicated task force is set up,an action plan is made,an industrial fund is established,and a number of chain champion enterprises are supported.
As for fiscal and financial support,the government investment guidance fund of the autonomous region has participated in establishing36industrial development funds with a total scale of nearly70billion yuan,providing targeted support for the ten pillar industries.For2026,plans are in place to leverage100billion yuan of enterprise-benefiting funds to boost the development of the manufacturing sector.
On concrete actions,Guangxi will advance initiatives to supplement,strengthen and extend industrial chains,cultivate advanced manufacturing clusters,and carry out large-scale equipment renewal.Meanwhile,the region will implement the Strategic Emerging Industries Doubling Plan to develop smart manufacturing and green manufacturing.
Furthermore,Guangxi has issued the Action Plan for“AI+Manufacturing”(2025-2027),committing to having AI empower the new-type industrialization.It aims to push the output value of AI-related industries to exceed100billion yuan by2027and initially build a highland for the AI industry facing ASEAN.
Initiative to Strengthen Leading Enterprises and Cultivate Chain Champions
In terms of enterprise development,Guangxi is carrying out the initiative to strengthen leading enterprises and cultivate chain champions,aiming to foster more than100chain champion enterprises across the ten pillar industries by2028.
Wei Tao noted that Guangxi will conduct in-depth research and study for the real economy,providing enterprises with whole-process services including“inspection and negotiation,project signing,construction and implementation,and completion and operation”.The region will deliver robust support in project approval and factor guarantee.
In terms of innovation-driven development,Guangxi will support chain champion enterprises in partnering with universities and research institutes to tackle key technological problems.Each year,the region will organize efforts to tackle over100core technologies critical to industrial chains,with a focus on making breakthroughs in key material technologies such as4N-grade high-purity aluminum.
Meanwhile,Guangxi will encourage chain champion enterprises to replace equipment cores,substitute robots for workers and upgrade production lines,with the goal to build a number of digital workshops and smart factories.
Last year,Guangxi overcame a series of difficulties and challenges,achieving a regional economic growth of5.1%,which marked the“three higher results”—higher than the projected target,higher than the growth rate of the same period last year,and higher than the national average.The industrial added value of enterprises above designated size rose by7.7%,outperforming the national average growth rate for four consecutive years.The general public budget revenue exceeded190billion yuan for the first time,and the total volume of foreign trade imports and exports surpassed800billion yuan.Guangxi thus delivered an outstanding report unseen for many years.Currently,Guangxi enjoys unprecedented support from the central government,unprecedented opportunities for opening-up and development,and an unprecedented spirit of unity and motivation to pursue development.The region is witnessing profound transformations in mindset,development landscape,development strategies and work style.For high-quality development,the time is becoming ripe and the momentum is gathering.Guangxi is embracing the best development period in its history.Wei Tao stated that Guangxi will continue to optimize its business environment,provide high-quality services for enterprises investing and developing in Guangxi,and make“Investing in Guangxi is Investing in the Future”a shared consensus among an increasing number of enterprises.
For overseas investors,Guangxi boasts a clear industrial logic.By building on its resource endowments and industrial foundations,and leveraging its geographical advantages and policy dividends,the region aims to foster scale effects and competitive edges across the ten pillar industries.
As the inaugural year of the15th Five-Year Plan period,Guangxi has rolled out its strategic blueprint for the development of manufacturing industries.For investors dedicated to deepening industrial and supply chain cooperation between China and ASEAN,this vibrant region is unlocking new prospects and immense potentials.
