"China Made 2025" Three Keys

"Made in China" is still in the development stage of "big but not strong." The author believes that "Made in China 2025" can make China from the manufacturing powerhouse to the strong state-owned enterprise.

At present, our country needs a stronger strategy of building a powerful nation than ever before. Without a strong manufacturing industry, it will be difficult for the country to move from a big country to a strong country. In particular, the global economic structure is undergoing profound adjustments. Developed countries have implemented the "reindustrialization" and "manufacturing return" strategies and formed fierce competition with China. The industry is facing the double squeeze of “pre-blocking and post-blocking” and establishing the strategy of “building a strong country” is imminent.

In fact, "Made in China" is still in the development stage of "big but not strong." From the perspective of industrial scale and structure, manufacturing industry is an important pillar of China's national economy and the main supporting force for economic growth, contributing more than 40% of GDP. Over the past 30 years of reform and opening up, China’s manufacturing industry has grown faster than the country’s overall economic development level. At the same time as the development of scale, the industrial structure has also been rapidly upgraded, mainly reflecting the continuous decline in the proportion of labor and resource-intensive products, capital and technology-intensive. The proportion of products continues to rise. Statistics from the National Bureau of Statistics show that from 2005 to 2013, China’s manufacturing industry’s total output value grew at an average annual rate of 20%. In 2012, China’s manufacturing industry increased by 2.08 trillion US dollars, accounting for about 20% of the global manufacturing industry, becoming the world's A veritable "manufacturing power."

The advantages of our country's industry in global competition are more reflected in having a complete supply chain. According to the data from the United Nations Industrial Development Organization, China is the only country in the world that has all industrial categories (39 industrial categories, 191 medium and 525 sub-categories) in the UN Industrial Classification, forming a "complete range, complete independence," Industrial system. Also from the United Nations Industrial Development Organization data, at present, China's industrial competitiveness index ranks seventh among 136 countries, and net export of manufacturing ranks first in the world. According to the international standard industrial classification, among the 22 categories, China ranks first in the seven categories, and the output of more than 220 kinds of industrial products such as steel, cement, and automobiles ranks first in the world. In 2013, China’s equipment manufacturing industry The output value exceeded 20 trillion yuan, accounting for more than one-third of the world's total; in 2013, the output of power generation equipment reached 120 million kilowatts, which accounted for about 60% of the global total; and the shipbuilding completion volume reached 45.34 million dwt, accounting for 41% of the global total. %; The production of cars reached 22.117 million vehicles, accounting for 25% of the world's total; machine tool production reached 959,000 units, accounting for 38% of the world's total, and China's manufacturing industry accounted for 1/3 of the world's total.

However, we are still in the stage of “big but not strong”. Manufacturing industry has the problems of poor independent innovation capability, high dependence on core components, unreasonable industrial structure, and outstanding product quality, and developed industries such as the United States, Japan, and Germany. There is a wide gap in the country. Since the beginning of the 21st century, a new round of science and technology revolution is gestating. In this crucial historical period, how to change lanes to become overtaking has become an important issue.

After the international financial crisis in 2008, countries around the world launched a strategy to build a strong country. In order to find new ways to promote economic growth, countries around the world have begun to pay attention to manufacturing again, and the United States, Germany, and the United Kingdom have all launched national strategies for manufacturing. U.S., Germany, Japan, and other developed countries focused on the seven strategic emerging industries represented by the new generation of the Internet, biotechnology, new energy, and high-end manufacturing, and launched a new round of growth competitions in an attempt to seize a new round. The strategic heights of economic growth.

Since then, the United States, Germany, Japan, and South Korea have introduced various policies and measures to encourage and support the development of their strategic emerging industries. In particular, the U.S. government launched the "US Advanced Manufacturing Country Strategic Plan" in 2012, and in December of the same year General Electric put forward the "Industrial Internet" strategy; in August 2013, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China released the "Special Action Plan for the Intensive Integration of Informatization and Industrialization." 2013~2018; At the end of 2013, the German Institute of Electrical and Electronic Information released the first "Industry 4.0" standardization roadmap in Germany to strengthen Germany's core competitiveness as a technological and economic power. As a result, the United States' "industrial Internet", China's "deep integration of the two" and Germany's "Industry 4.0" are almost the same.

The author believes that whether “Made in China 2025” can make China move from a manufacturing country to a strong state has three key points: First, focusing on strategic emerging industries to gather scientific and technological resources, we will tackle the core, key, and common technologies of upstream and downstream strategic emerging industries. Driven by the innovation chain, it broke through a number of key technologies and enabled strategic emerging industries to achieve leapfrog development. Deploying an innovation chain around the traditional advantageous industrial chain. Guided by the innovation chain, the company will enhance the independent innovation capability of traditional advantageous industries, promote the accelerating development of traditional enterprises with core technologies and key technologies, and thus promote the transformation and upgrading of the entire traditional advantageous industries.

Second, the core of the manufacturing power strategy is the layout of high-end manufacturing. High-end equipment manufacturing industry is "the country's most important device." To implement the strategy of building a strong country, we must attach great importance to the development of high-end equipment manufacturing and accelerate the adjustment of key industries. The current China’s equipment manufacturing industry has a solid foundation for development, and the manned space flight and lunar exploration project and the “Baolong” manned deep diving device have made major breakthroughs. The rapid development of emerging industries such as smart manufacturing equipment, marine engineering equipment, advanced rail transit equipment, and new energy vehicles has significantly increased the international competitiveness of enterprises.

Third, adhere to standards first, and formulate intelligent manufacturing standardization as the priority area of ​​intelligent manufacturing. Grasp the development characteristics and laws of smart manufacturing, integrate domestic standardization resources, draw lessons from the German Industry 4.0 standardization roadmap, and work ideas and organizational methods for the construction of the US advanced manufacturing and industrial Internet standards to speed up the construction of a smart manufacturing standardization system. For example, speeding up the development of the smart manufacturing standardization roadmap, starting as soon as possible the priorities of urgently needed areas of standardization work, and building and promoting the integration of enterprise management system.

Finally, through the "manufacturing services" to enhance the value chain control. At present, the service-oriented manufacturing industry is the key to the formation of the core competitiveness of China's manufacturing industry in the international market. It is the major value-added point in the global value chain, and it is also the focus of improving the control of the value chain. Develop a modern service industry, realize the "two-wheel drive" of advanced manufacturing and modern service industries, and enhance the added value of manufacturing through "services" and the development of knowledge-intensive service industries. The productive service industry characterized by knowledge-intensive production not only refers to research and development of new technologies and new products, but also provides value-added services to promote the transformation of production and operation management methods. It is necessary to protect the service-oriented transformation with a sound market environment. The smooth advancement of manufacturing services needs a sound market environment to protect it. The development of new technologies, logistics, technical support, information consulting, financial leasing and insurance services for manufacturing production processes and products requires comprehensive intellectual property laws and regulations, a sound social integrity system, and a strict regulatory system as a guarantee.
