After a year-long delay，the Johnson government finally made an important move on industrial policy，releasing its first document Build Back Better：our plan for growth. The document continues to highlight the three elements of industrial policy emphasized by Boris Johnson after he came to office，namely，infrastructure，skills，and innovation. Meanwhile，it sets such goals as “levelling up”，achieving “net zero”，and seizing the opportunity of “Global Britain”，while making some important policy innovations. However，the document shows clear signs of swinging back to “neoliberal tradition” and fails to provide adequate guidance for the long-term strategic development of the British economic industry，which has aroused criticism and worries from the industry and research circles. All indications are that this document is only the basis and starting point of the Johnson government’s industrial policies. In the coming years，the government will continue to use such policies to promote balanced regional development，realize low carbon transformation，seek opportunities out of the shock and devastation from Brexit and COVID-19，and cope with the new international geopolitical environment. In a word，the industrial policies of the UK will continue to evolve.
