Significance
The country's lingering reputation for unreliable products and infrastructure is increasingly belied by facts, and the government views 'quality' as central to China's next stage of economic development.
Impacts
Policy and government pressure will push 'big tech' into a central role in the national effort to improve quality in the 'real economy'.
Conditions are more conducive than in the past for tackling long-running problems such as counterfeit goods.
Start-ups offering technological solutions to quality weaknesses will receive government support.
