NDRC Chairman Zheng Shanjie emphasized these achievements demonstrate China’s innovation resilience: "External pressure only accelerates our technological breakthroughs," citing additional firsts including: Tiangong space station, Shidaowan Gen-IV nuclear plant, Chang’e-6 lunar sample return and C919 commercial flights.

Large cruise ships represent the "peak of industrial integration," combining advanced manufacturing with cultural artistry. Adora Magic City’s delivery marked China’s ascent as the only nation simultaneously building aircraft carriers, LNG carriers, and cruise ships. SWS now drives dual-circulation supply chains to propel China’s global cruise industry presence.
