The revitalization of the manufacturing industry should avoid deviating from the real to the virtual
At present, the status and role of the real economy in China's economy have once again been focused and valued. As the main body of the real economy, the manufacturing industry undertakes the mission of becoming better and stronger in the goal of China's economic transformation and upgrading and even the realization of modernization.
Miao Wei, Minister of Industry and Information Technology, said at the 9th China Economic Prospects Forum held recently that China, as a big country, must rely on the real economy, revitalize the advanced manufacturing industry, and rely on the joint drive of industry and service industries to become strong. The integrated development of the primary, secondary, and tertiary industries avoids “bubbling and deviating from the real to the virtual”.
Coincidentally. Xin Renzhou, an inspector of the Industrial Policy Department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, also emphasized at the "2018 Made in China Forum" that facing the development trend of the world economy, especially the manufacturing industry, China can play a super-large market, the most complete industrial chain, and great innovation potential. and other advantages.
The development of the manufacturing industry is the general trend
As we all know, manufacturing is the main body of the real economy, the main battlefield of technological innovation, and an important area of supply-side structural reform.
Since the 18th of the Communist Party of China, around "Made in China 2025", my country has formulated and implemented a series of policies and measures to develop the manufacturing industry, which has accelerated the integration and development of the manufacturing industry with the Internet, informatization, and intelligence.
The report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposed to "accelerate the construction of a strong manufacturing country, accelerate the development of advanced manufacturing, and promote the deep integration of the Internet, big data, artificial intelligence, and the real economy". The Central Economic Work Conference held not long ago further proposed that "to promote the transformation of Chinese manufacturing to Chinese creation, the transformation of China's speed to Chinese quality, and the transformation of a manufacturing power into a manufacturing power".
How can my country's economy achieve high-quality development, what is the mission of the transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry, and how can it achieve the transformation from Made in China to Created in China, and from a large manufacturing country to a manufacturing power?
Undoubtedly, the development of China's manufacturing industry is an important proposition related to China's economic development.
From the perspective of the development trend of the world economy and manufacturing industry, the manufacturing industry is once again becoming the focus of global economic competition.
Miao Wei said that the current global manufacturing industry is undergoing deeper changes and has become the focus of global competition. After the international financial crisis in 2008, the major developed countries that have achieved industrialization have reflected on and examined the development model of deviating from the real to the virtual, refocused on the real economy, implemented re-industrialization strategies one after another, tried to revive the manufacturing industry, and continued to expand new competitive advantages.
According to Xin Renzhou, inspector of the Industrial Policy Department of Industry and Information Technology, the global manufacturing industry has been re-emphasized by various countries, and three major trends have emerged: First, the manufacturing industry in various countries in the world has begun to pick up, and major countries have begun to pay attention to the development of manufacturing industry again, such as the United States. The Advanced Manufacturing Partnership Program, the German Industry 4.0, and the French New Industry Program were released. Second, the development of the manufacturing industry focuses on the integration of manufacturing and emerging technologies, which is embodied in intelligent manufacturing. All countries regard intelligent manufacturing as the focus of high-end manufacturing and a major focus of future competition. For example, German Industry 4.0 proposes to achieve a networked, intelligent trend. Third, the trend of economic globalization continues to strengthen, especially in the field of manufacturing, and the allocation of global resources is accelerating.
"At the same time, other emerging economies are also accelerating the process of industrialization, trying to take advantage of low-cost competitive advantage, step up to seize the international manufacturing market share, and build a new world factory." Miao Wei said that these are for China's manufacturing industry. The development of China has brought a double squeeze situation, optimizing the development environment and accelerating transformation and upgrading has become an inevitable choice for the development of China's manufacturing industry.
The development of the manufacturing industry is not contradictory to the cultivation of new kinetic energy
Amid the re-emergence of manufacturing as the focus of competition in the global economy, there are a number of different voices at home. One of the views is to contrast the development of the manufacturing industry with the upgrading of the industrial structure and the cultivation of new kinetic energy.
Miao Wei pointed out that an objective consequence of the overheating of the virtual economy is that product elements have been withdrawn from the manufacturing field and over-aggregated to industries such as finance and real estate. In order to successfully transform and upgrade the Chinese economy and achieve the goal of modernization, it must become stronger and better "Made in China".
Another more prominent point of view is to equate industrialization with excess production capacity and regard industrialization as energy consumption and pollution. It is envisaged that the development of the service industry will replace the development of the manufacturing industry and drive the growth of the entire economy.
"I have no objection to the development of the service industry. In fact, the fastest-growing and largest service industry is the producer service industry." Miao Wei emphasized that in the middle and late stages of China's industrialization, the proportion of manufacturing in the entire national economy There will be declines, but such declines do not imply a change in the importance of manufacturing. On the contrary, the status and role of the manufacturing industry as the basis for technological innovation and the development of the service industry will become more prominent, and it will always be the key to realizing a virtuous economic cycle and controlling the lifeline of the economy.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, especially in the past 40 years of reform and opening up, my country's industrialization has achieved leapfrog development and has become the world's largest manufacturing country. Some fields such as high-speed rail, UHV power transmission and transformation, and communication equipment have already ranked among the world's advanced ranks, which means that the new industrialization road with Chinese characteristics has entered a period of strategic tackling. Enhancement of system capabilities. Chinese products, Chinese enterprises, and Chinese manufacturing will participate in international competition and cooperation at a higher and deeper level; industrial innovation will be more open, and industrial synergy, cross-border synergy, and cross-border flow will become common phenomena; The policy environment of non-discriminatory treatment of foreign-funded enterprises has increasingly become the priority and goal pursued by all countries in the process of globalization.
To develop the manufacturing industry, we must work hard on "quality"
In response to the development of the manufacturing industry, Miao Wei previously wrote an article saying that it is necessary to deeply understand the new changes in the development environment of the real economy, grasp the trend and time window of change, and do a good job in the deep integration of informatization and industrialization, and strive to seize a new round of industry. The commanding heights of the competition.
In his view, accelerating the construction of a strong manufacturing country requires: first, to cultivate and expand emerging industries and promote breakthroughs in key areas; second, to optimize and upgrade traditional industries to promote the overall leap of the entire industry chain; third, to accelerate the development of modern service industries and promote manufacturing and services Coordinated development; Fourth, vigorously promote intelligent manufacturing and promote the deep integration of informatization and industrialization; Fifth, cultivate world-class advanced manufacturing clusters and promote the development of large and medium-sized enterprises.
"The new round of industrial revolution provides a rare historical opportunity for the transformation and upgrading of China's manufacturing industry. No matter what path is adopted, it is fundamentally promoting the deep integration of informatization and industrialization, and ultimately realizing intelligent manufacturing. It can be said that We have the same destination." Miao Wei said.
Miao Wei reminded us that we must be soberly aware that my country's manufacturing industry is still in the coexistence of mechanization, electrification, automation, and informatization, and different regions, different industries, and different enterprises are in a stage of unbalanced development. Compared with industrially developed countries, our development environment is more complex and the task is more arduous. Whether it is the high-end development of the manufacturing industry, whether it is the integration of artificial intelligence, big data, cloud computing, and manufacturing, it must follow the direction of digitization, networking, and intelligence, and develop step by step. One stage, directly entering the next stage, let alone a rush, a burst of heat, and speculation, but to really do a good job in the current thing and implement it to improve the quality and efficiency of the manufacturing industry.
Obviously, in the face of the development trend of the global manufacturing industry, as well as the development environment such as rising labor costs and tightening resource and environmental constraints, China's manufacturing industry is reshaping itself amid challenges and opportunities. The transformation of the development mode and the transformation of the growth impetus has always been the key to the development of the manufacturing industry.
