When did the shipbuilding industry in China rise?

Throughout the 70 years since the founding of New China, the development of China's shipbuilding industry can be roughly divided into four stages. The first stage, from the founding of New China to 1978 before the reform and opening-up, was the period when China's shipbuilding industry laid the foundation. The second stage, from 1979 to 2000, is a period of steady development of shipbuilding industry. The third stage, from 200/kloc-0 to 2008, is the period of accelerated development of shipbuilding industry. The fourth stage is the period of adjustment, revitalization, transformation and upgrading after the international financial crisis from 2009 to now.
