High end equipment manufacturing, on a larger scale, symbolizes a country's core competitiveness, involving the country's economy and national defense security; on a smaller scale, it is related to the survival and development of many industries and enterprises. "Wang Jinfu, General Manager of Chery Heavy Industry Co., Ltd. and other equipment manufacturing industry insiders recently stated in an interview that in the past 10 years, China's machinery industry has developed rapidly, and China has become a true equipment manufacturing country, but it is not yet a strong equipment manufacturing country. To achieve the dream of" from big to strong ", it is necessary to improve independent innovation capabilities, accelerate the cultivation and promotion of independent high-end equipment manufacturing industry development.
Wang Jinfu said, "When assessing whether a country's machinery industry is strong, people are more concerned about several aspects of performance - whether it has mastered the core technology of independent intellectual property rights, whether it has strong major equipment technology capabilities, whether it has a high proportion of high-end equipment, and whether its mainstream technology equipment varieties and quality are in a world leading position. In fact, it depends on how the high-end equipment manufacturing industry develops In recent years, driven by the strong promotion of domestic demand and multiple encouraging policies by the government, China's machinery and equipment manufacturing industry has achieved strong growth in scale, "said Wang Jinfu." However, the core competitiveness of China's domestic brand manufacturing industry is generally weak, with overcapacity and fierce competition in the mid to low end. Many high-end sectors of the industry are firmly controlled by foreign brands. At the same time, in terms of key components and core technologies, they have long been 'choked' by foreign brands Wang Ruixiang, President of the China Machinery Industry Federation, believes that China has become a major equipment manufacturing country in the world, but it is an undeniable fact that it is "big but not strong", especially due to the impact of the international financial crisis and the European debt crisis. China's equipment manufacturing industry is facing a severe situation of being blocked in the front and pursued by pursuers in the back. Especially in the field of high-end equipment, developed countries such as the United States and the European Union have begun to gradually withdraw the production and processing industries of high-tech and high value-added equipment products from overseas to their domestic markets, and have adopted many incentive policies, such as tax reductions and subsidies, to encourage investors and manufacturers to return to their local markets.
Wang Ruixiang said that the current harsh reality facing China's equipment manufacturing industry is that advanced technology relies on imports and high-end products rely on imports. High end machine tools, high-end engines, high-end instruments and control systems all need to be imported from abroad. Among them, 90% of high-end CNC machine tools are imported, 95% of CNC systems are imported, and 70% of instruments and meters are imported. In the field of basic components, 70% of the high-end functional components required for high-end CNC machine tools need to be imported, and all hydraulic components above 30MPA required for large construction machinery are imported. Almost all gearboxes with a speed of over 200 kilometers per hour, wind turbine gearboxes with a capacity of over 2.5MW, large coal mining machine gearboxes, high-speed train brakes, and electric hydraulic drive devices for large shield tunneling machines are imported. Although China has established joint ventures and cooperative production with advanced foreign enterprises in the field of marine diesel engines, key core technologies and brands are still in the hands of foreign enterprises, and China has not yet shaken off its "working style" manufacturing status< br /> Wang Ruixiang emphasized that for China's equipment manufacturing industry, the most crucial thing is to accelerate the construction of independent research and development capabilities. The country needs to find ways to provide policy support on one hand, and integrate resources and organize technological breakthroughs on the other. At present, the research institutes in our country are still very scattered, and we should find ways to integrate and concentrate them. Colleges and universities should also consider how to participate. I believe that by organizing the forces of several aspects together, China will gradually break through the technological bottleneck, break through the current situation of high-end equipment being monopolized by foreign enterprises in the market, and gradually form a high-end equipment manufacturing industry led by high-tech, located in the high-end of the value chain and the core link of the industrial chain, which can enhance the core competitiveness of the entire industry Ren Hongbin, Chairman of China National Machinery Industry Corporation Limited, stated that the high-end equipment manufacturing industry is a concentrated reflection of the level of equipment manufacturing and an important symbol of a country's national strength. The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council have clearly included it in the strategic emerging industries that will be accelerated for cultivation and development during the 12th Five Year Plan period.
In order to make good use of domestic market demand resources, accelerate the development of China's high-end equipment manufacturing industry, and promote the upgrading of the equipment manufacturing industry, Ren Hongbin and others suggest: firstly, using domestic market demand as a bargaining chip, operating according to market rules, forcing developed countries to transfer technology to China, relaxing export controls on China's high-end equipment, and abandoning import restrictions on China's middle and low-end products; Secondly, formulate procurement policies for high-end equipment that are conducive to independent innovation, clarify that national key projects have the obligation to provide support for the localization of high-end equipment, and prioritize the procurement of domestically produced equipment in project equipment procurement bidding; The quotation for foreign companies should be calculated based on their actual transaction prices in the Chinese market 3-5 years ago to prevent them from maliciously lowering prices and suppressing newly entered domestic enterprises in this field.
