Xinhua News Agency: AI scientists, product architects, and blockchain engineers will become high-paying positions.

BlockBeats news, on March 28, the Xinhua News Agency of China recently published an interpretation of the “Outline of the 14th Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development of the People’s Republic of China.” The article points out that the “Outline” is a policy document for China’s development blueprint for the next five years (2026-2030), deploying 109 major engineering projects.

The planning outline emphasizes the cultivation of various talents, including “increasing the training and support for strategic scientists, leading technology talents, basic research talents, and young technology talents” and “nurturing outstanding engineers, skilled craftsmen, and high-skilled talents.”

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the top of the eight major engineering projects for “cutting-edge technology breakthroughs” in the next five years, with development focuses including “developing high-performance AI chips and highly available basic software stacks” and “accelerating innovation in model infrastructure exploration.”

The article specifically cites smart agriculture as an example, stating that it will create a number of new jobs: in the fields, autonomous harvesters running on the ground are guided by navigators, while agricultural drones flying in the sky are operated by pilots, and sensors monitoring crop growth need maintenance from IoT engineers; after harvesting agricultural products, cold chain logistics analysts are needed to calculate the optimal path from farm to table, and quality traceability engineers use blockchain technology to establish a “digital ID” for each batch of rice.
