In the wave of the fourth industrial revolution, where should Chinese manufacturing go?
In the past five years, the global economy has been sluggish and the recovery has been weak.
In traditional labour-intensive manufacturing, China has resisted low-cost competition from south-east Asian countries.In high-end equipment manufacturing industry, China not only in aerospace, aircraft, high iron, nc machine tools, new energy vehicles, and other fields has made a series of important breakthroughs, still growing in the international share of high value-added industries.
Today China has built an independent and complete modern industrial system.Of the more than 500 major industrial products, more than 220 are the world’s largest.According to deloitte co., LTD., and U.S. competitiveness council the research results of the global manufacturing industry competitiveness index, China, the United States and Germany in 2016 is listed as the world’s most competitive manufacturing country in the top three.
China is a country with parallel development of manufacturing and Internet, and the Internet economy is at the forefront of the world.Looking forward to the future, China has the ability to realize the disruptive change of key technologies and applications through the fourth industrial revolution and become an important force leading the new industrial revolution.
What is the “great wisdom” that supports the “big man” of China?Economic daily together today (October 13) out on the front page “to meet the party’s top 19, feature China’s economy, to watch” the fifth article – “made in China:” the real economy “wisdom”.

The full text is as follows:
Before the first industrial revolution, Chinese manufacturing was a bright pearl in the world’s manufacturing industry. The white porcelain of jingdezhen was marketed overseas, and the silk of suzhou and hangzhou was famous, and the tea of minnan was highly sought after.Data show that China’s manufacturing output was the world’s largest after the first industrial revolution.After the second industrial revolution and the third industrial revolution, “made in China” became a byword for cheap manufacturing, and was branded as OEM, inferior quality and imitation.
Today, the “blue whale one” drilling platform, which can take ice from the bottom of the sea, can reach the “tiangong 1” aircraft, which can be reached on the ninth day of the month, and then the world number one “Renaissance” high-speed railway.These achievements show that Chinese manufacturing is on the rise of the fourth industrial revolution and is making a shift towards Chinese innovation and Chinese wisdom.


Scale first drives world economic recovery
The manufacturing industry is the main body of the national economy, which is the basis of the founding of the state, the organ of xingguo and the great power.The 18th party congress “, the world’s biggest scale of China’s manufacturing location, is the key to the development of world economic engine, powerful boost the recovery of world economy, for the emerging economies and large developing countries provides a reference for the development of the model.”Said zuo shiquan, director of the institute of equipment industry research at the ministry of industry and information technology.
Industrial economy of the state council development research center, said Xu Zhao yuan, director of the research lab in the past five years, made in China is faced with Vietnam, India and other countries of low-cost competition and the developed countries are squeezed between manufacturing, but resisted the pressure, China’s manufacturing industry to further improve manufacturing superpower status, further enhance the manufacturing competitiveness.
In 2012, the added value of China’s manufacturing industry totaled $2.69 trillion, 35.6% higher than in the United States.In 2016, the added value of China’s manufacturing industry totaled about $3.7 trillion, which is about 67 percent higher than that of the United States, and further widened the gap with the United States in the volume of manufacturing.
Not only that, China has also built have 41 industrial categories, 201, 581 small, independent complete modern industrial system, became the only with the United Nations industrial classification of all kinds of industrial countries.Of the more than 500 major industrial products, more than 220 are the world’s largest.The rapid growth of a number of leading enterprises has been a rapid rise in the global competition of communication equipment, high-speed railway equipment, nuclear power equipment and engineering machinery.

In the past five years, the global economic downturn, the sluggish recovery, the conflict between the two forces of “globalization” and “anti-globalization” have become a prominent feature of the global manufacturing industry.The collision between “re-industrialization” and “de-industrialization” has profoundly changed the geographical distribution and competitive landscape of global manufacturing industry.
In this context, xi jinping, general secretary of the Chinese manufacturing through the fog: “a country must have a correct strategic choice, our country is a big country, must develop the real economy, push forward industrial modernization and raise the level of manufacturing, cannot take off to empty.”
“Over the past five years, the world competitiveness of China has not diminished, it has been enhanced.”“Said xu.
In traditional labour-intensive manufacturing, China has resisted low-cost competition from south-east Asian countries.Take clothing exports as an example. In 2012, China exported $113.8 billion of clothing, accounting for 40.4% of the world’s total exports.In 2016, China exported $101.9 billion in apparel, accounting for 40.8 percent of the world’s total exports.During the same period, India’s apparel exports from $8.1 billion to $11.2 billion, Vietnam grown from $2012 in 8 billion to $2015 in 12 billion, Indonesia in a $4.4 billion, while India and Vietnam also grew faster, but there is a big gap between China’s clothing export scale.
In high-end equipment manufacturing industry, China not only in aerospace, aircraft, high iron, nc machine tools, new energy vehicles, and other fields has made a series of important breakthroughs, still growing in the international share of high value-added industries.In 2012, for example, China’s machine-tool export totaled us $2.7 billion, accounting for 5.0% of the global market share.In 2016, China’s machine exports totaled us $3 billion, accounting for 7.3 per cent of global market share.
Innovative high-end equipment is successful
Before 1949, China was known as the “national locomotive museum”, when all of China’s trains came from more than 30 factories in nine countries, but they were hard to find in China.On September 21, 2017, seven pairs of “Renaissance” vehicles roared through the beijing-shanghai railway at a speed of 350 kilometers per hour, marking China’s emergence as the world’s fastest high-speed railway business.More proud, running resistance, hundreds of kilometers of energy consumption, noise, and other parameters are excellent “Renaissance”, its overall design and car body, bogie, traction and braking, network are all key technologies such as independent research and development.
Only by constantly innovating can China’s manufacturing change its big and weak status, so as to turn around the world’s image of making low-end and cheap China in recent years.“China has become the second largest r&d investment in the country after the United States, and the r&d investment intensity ranks among the developing countries.In recent 5 years, moving towards the high end significantly accelerated, made in China “made in China” to “created in China ‘ ‘smart’ took a key step in China, especially in the high-end equipment innovation achievements.”Li dong, director of the industry division of the ministry of industry and information technology, concluded.
In the past five years, China has made persistent efforts to make innovations, made important achievements in the transformation and upgrading of manufacturing industries, and improved the system of high-end equipment manufacturing.Water and electricity, uhv, oil refining, chemical equipment, rail transportation equipment, such as a number of high-end products to be made in China “new business card”, rail transportation, steel, metallurgy, uhv power transmission and transformation key industries development level into the international advanced level, such as the stress level of the largest eighty thousand tons of die forging press, the original innovation nuclear power large open jewels heat treatment furnace, and other products have reached the international advanced level, China has had the construction of infrastructure and conditions of the manufacturing powerhouse.

“China has been on the cutting edge in areas such as high-speed trains, beidou systems and supercomputers.”The senior vice President of zhongcheng think tank wei yuhuai said.Not only such, FAST radio telescope is known as the “eye” in China, is China with independent intellectual property rights of the world’s largest single caliber radio telescope, the arecibo telescope 350 meters of performance than the United States increased 10 times, leading radio telescope in the world history;The “tianhe-2” supercomputer can beat America’s Titan supercomputer at 33.86 quadrillion times per second.
Today’s China has significantly improved its position in global innovation.In the context of a new round of industrial revolution, competition among countries is increasing. Manufacturing industry should not only have strong innovation ability, but also have the ability to transform innovation results into market applications.Unicorn company is regarded as an important symbol of the new economic development, in the recent global vc research published CBinsights global technology-based start-up “unicorn” list, a total of 214 market value at $1 billion or more companies, a total of 55 Chinese companies on the list, accounting for 25.7%, shows the strong innovation ability of Chinese enterprises.
“We will introduce and learn the world’s advanced scientific and technological achievements, and we should take the path that has not been passed before.”On July 17, 2013, general secretary xi jinping said during a visit to the Chinese academy of sciences.
China is expected to overtake the curve
In 2006, lenovo became the Turin Olympics sponsors, computer technology, lenovo group chairman and CEO Yang yuanqing also clearly remember: “foreign first saw lenovo computers, all doubt the Chinese brands.”Clearly, Chinese manufacturing was still being questioned in the computer industry, which was still in the forefront of manufacturing.
In 2017, Chinese companies have performed well in 5G research and development tests in more cutting-edge mobile communications.Among them, huawei has demonstrated a comprehensive and leading edge in technological innovation, taking the lead in integrating all of the key new technology of 5G, which has been adopted as the core standard of 5G.
11 years, once in the value chain of high-end computer hardware has already been, in the new industrial revolution, combined with artificial intelligence, big data, such as the Internet of things of a new generation of information technology new hardware era has come.In this era, it is not just lenovo, huawei and the whole of China that are seeking change.
In the fourth wave of the industrial revolution, where should China go?“To promote the transformation of China’s manufacturing to China and the transformation of China’s speed to China’s quality and the transformation of Chinese products to Chinese brands.”General secretary xi jinping has pointed the way.

The industry thinks that Germany’s concept of “industry 4.0” is the fourth industrial revolution led by intelligent manufacturing. Its core is digitization, intellectualization and platform.This is an unprecedented historical opportunity for China’s manufacturing industry to upgrade its development, he said.Based on strong Chinese manufacturing industry scale, the demand of the broad market, innovative entrepreneurial boom across the country, such as abundant capital strength development foundation and the national strong mobilization ability, the ability of China to seize the new industrial revolution and conditions is the most complete since modern times, China’s historic and western developed industrial countries are on the same track.
Data and analysis suggest that Chinese manufacturing is expected to catch up or overtake even curves in the fourth industrial revolution.China’s manufacturing industry is huge and has an industrial base that promotes innovation.In the development of Internet platforms, China has a tendency to make a lot of later.In 2016, 25 of the world’s biggest Internet platform for enterprise, in the United States apple, Google, Microsoft, amazon and facebook ranked the top five, while China’s tencent, alibaba, baidu ranked 6, 7 and 14, although the gap with the United States is still very big, but is far more than traditional manufacturing powers such as Japan, Germany and Korea.
“Looking to the future, China’s ability to pass for the fourth time the industrial revolution, key technology and application of disruptive innovation all the way ‘and’ area construction makes the advantage of Chinese enterprises to go global, an important force to lead the new industrial revolution.”“Said Yang fan, President of zhongcheng think tank.
