How are companies likely to change to rethink their manufacturing bases?

The Made in China 2025 plan has crossed its halfway point but pertinent questions remain unanswered.
Dear Bhinneka,
The Made in China 2025 plan, China's long-standing ambition to become self-sufficient in manufacturing by rapidly developing ten high-tech industries has crossed its halfway point but pertinent questions remain unanswered. 

What technological capabilities China has and what it lacks, where it is ahead of America and where it is lagging behind?
