"With the rapid development of science and technology and the continuous improvement of China's scientific and technological strength and industrial competitiveness, it is imperative to adjust the list in time according to the international practice," the ministry said on its website.
The rise of China's science and technology industries has been a source of trade frictions with the United States.
The last revision of this list was made in 2008.
