against this background, how can my country's manufacturing industry improve quality and efficiency and achieve structural transformation? how to pioneer and innovate and move to the top of the global value chain? members of the committee all made suggestions: in order for my country's manufacturing industry to grow from large to strong, it needs to borrow strength from the outside and cultivate inward.
▶▶▶more openness to attract high-quality foreign investment empowerment
manufacturing is the earliest field opened up in my country and is also an important driving force for global industrial economic growth. world bank data shows that the added value of my country's manufacturing industry has surpassed that of the united states for the first time since 2010, ranking first in the world. it will account for 30.2% of the world's total in 2022 and has become an important driving force for global industrial economic growth. statistics from the national organizational unified social credit code data service center show that as of august 31, 2024, the total number of manufacturing enterprises in my country reached 6.03 million, an increase of 5.53% from the end of 2023, of which 51.53% were related to strategic emerging industries. million, accounting for 8.55% of the total number of manufacturing enterprises, an increase of 6.35% from the end of 2023.
our country is already a big manufacturing country. in recent years, the pace of opening up of my country's manufacturing industry has continued to accelerate, and the open areas of high-tech manufacturing have continued to expand. the release of the 2024 version of the negative list for foreign investment access has become one of the important measures for my country to expand high-level opening up to the outside world. in fact, there are already traces of the complete lifting of restrictions on foreign investment access in the manufacturing sector.
in 2021, the restrictive measures in the manufacturing sector of the negative list for foreign investment access in my country's pilot free trade zones were "cleared", accumulating rich pilot experience for completely liberalizing foreign investment access in the manufacturing sector at the national level; in 2023, general secretary xi jinping at the opening ceremony of the 3rd belt and road international cooperation summit forum, it was announced that restrictions on foreign investment access in the manufacturing sector will be completely lifted; the third plenary session of the 20th cpc central committee once again emphasized the need to "reasonably reduce the negative list for foreign investment access."
"from the perspective of the overall arrangement of national strategic decision-making, the basis has been laid for the issuance of the "special management measures for foreign investment access (negative list) (2024 edition)"." in an interview with reporters, a member of the national committee of the chinese people's political consultative conference and an industrial economics researcher at the chinese academy of social sciences qu yongyi, secretary of the party committee and deputy director of the institute, said that special management measures for foreign investment access are important institutional arrangements for my country to control risks and develop steadily in the process of expanding opening up. especially as the international competitiveness of my country's manufacturing industry continues to improve, institutional arrangements in the field of foreign investment access must be optimized and adjusted in a timely manner based on the development of manufacturing productivity.
qu yongyi believes that the issuance of the 2024 version of the negative list for foreign investment access at this time is an important measure to implement the decision-making and deployment of the party central committee. it is also a step to respond to the actual needs of the development of manufacturing productivity, respond to the development needs of foreign investment in the manufacturing industry, and promote the construction of my country's modern industrial system. a practical move.
wang bin, a member of the national committee of the chinese people's political consultative conference and vice president of the china small and medium-sized commercial enterprises association, also said that the release of the 2024 version of the negative list for foreign investment access at this time reflects china's firm determination to open up to the outside world and releases china's commitment to creating a more fair and transparent foreign investment environment. a clear signal will help stimulate market vitality and provide foreign investors with a broader space for development.
a set of data from the ministry of commerce shows that from january to august 2024, the actual amount of foreign capital used nationwide was 580.19 billion yuan, of which 164.1 billion yuan was actually used in manufacturing and 72.14 billion yuan was actually used in high-tech manufacturing, accounting for 10% of the country's total. 12.4%, an increase of 1.9 percentage points compared with the same period last year.
“currently, china’s manufacturing industry is in a critical period of transformation and upgrading. we should seize the opportunities brought by the reduction of the negative list, especially the lifting of restrictions on foreign investment in the manufacturing sector, to attract more foreign investment into the chinese market and increase the number of high-end supply of quality products and services will promote healthy competition in the domestic market. "wang bin believes that the formation of this new competitive environment will force local manufacturing companies to accelerate the pace of innovation and improve their market competitiveness through research and development of new technologies and new products. it is conducive to stimulating the innovative vitality of enterprises, improving overall market efficiency, and promoting the transformation of my country's manufacturing industry from labor-intensive to technology-intensive industries. in addition, the introduction of foreign capital will also provide more financing channels and opportunities for manufacturing companies, helping to alleviate the problems of difficult and expensive financing for companies, especially small and medium-sized enterprises. at the same time, the advanced management experience and technical support brought by foreign investment will also better promote the transformation, upgrading and high-quality development of the manufacturing industry.
facing the external environment with the rise of anti-globalization, my country has released the 2024 version of the negative list for foreign investment access, which demonstrates my country's determination to cooperate with countries around the world in an open and inclusive manner and share my country's large open market and development opportunities with enterprises from all countries. , will also promote china's manufacturing industry to further enhance its competitiveness.
"it is foreseeable that the release of the list will further enhance the marketization, legalization and internationalization of china's business environment, enhance the confidence of foreign investment in china, drive the steady expansion of the scale of foreign investment in my country's manufacturing sector, the steady improvement of the quality of foreign investment, and the sustainable structure of foreign investment. optimization," qu yongyi said, "with the empowerment of high-quality foreign capital, my country's participation in global industrial division of labor and cooperation will continue to deepen. the green, high-end and intelligent manufacturing industry will achieve greater development, and the manufacturing industry chain will the level of supply chain resilience and security will be further improved, and the status of the global value chain will also reach a new level.”
▶▶▶accelerate the conversion of old and new kinetic energy towards high-end
the access of foreign capital has undoubtedly injected new vitality into china's manufacturing industry, but it has also brought challenges to local manufacturing. faced with the entry of foreign capital, how should china's manufacturing industry actively respond? the answer given by the committee members is "towards high-end".
according to data from the state administration of taxation, from january to july this year, sales revenue of my country's manufacturing industry increased by 5.3% year-on-year, and 28 of the 31 major manufacturing industries achieved positive growth: among them, high-end equipment manufacturing industry increased by 8.3% year-on-year, and intelligent equipment manufacturing industry increased by 8.3% year-on-year. the manufacturing industry increased by 12.4% year-on-year, and the high-energy-consuming manufacturing industry decreased by 0.8 percentage points year-on-year.
"rumble", accompanied by the sound of machines, in the workshop of hefei heduan intelligent manufacturing co., ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "heduan intelligent"), a three-story-high "big guy" weighing nearly 400 tons was hoisted onto the truck. , this is a forming hydraulic press independently developed by heduan intelligent. heduan intelligence is the epitome of innovation in the high-end equipment manufacturing industry. its annual r&d expenditure accounts for more than 5% of its output value. since the "14th five-year plan", it has applied for more than 40 patents. the core components it currently produces are used in many fields; the self-developed high-speed thermoforming production line successfully replaced the imported one and became the only domestic enterprise with both direct thermoforming technology and indirect thermoforming development technology...
when asked what shortcomings exist in china's manufacturing industry? yan jianwen, a member of the national committee of the chinese people's political consultative conference and chairman of heduan intelligent, feels deeply that the shortcomings of my country's manufacturing industry are mainly the gap between basic manufacturing capabilities and talent and technical capabilities. for example, in the fields of a series of key components such as high-end bearings (oversized and precision), core pumps and valves, as well as equipment fields such as machine tools and high-end medical equipment and testing instruments, there is a large gap with advanced foreign industrial powers. therefore, the high-quality development of the manufacturing industry requires not only the strength and capabilities of the hardware, but also experienced engineers to write practical and feasible software systems based on the process manufacturing process, in order to ensure that industrial manufacturing is advanced, intelligent, and high-end.
"it is recommended to conduct a nationwide survey on the production capacity, basic manufacturing capacity, and technical level of industrial enterprises in various industries, benchmark the product stability, reliability, and precision of global leading enterprises, make a complete comparison table, and formulate a plan for china's industrial development the road map arranges a scientific catch-up timetable; pays attention to the market share, technological advancement, and product profit margins of enterprises in various industries, and strengthens the construction of all-round independent hard power of china's manufacturing; at the same time, it pragmatically promotes the construction of china's engineer team." yan jianwen. so said.
code cnc co., ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "code cnc") has the same development path as heduan intelligence. in dalian, liaoning, a factory hidden about four floors underground is busy day and night. it produces the high-end "industrial mother machine" that has been "stuck" abroad - five-axis linkage cnc machine tools. more than 10 years ago, a high-precision five-axis vertical machine tool was shipped from here, becoming the first export of such equipment from china to germany. today, several high-end cnc machine tools were born here and are moving towards my country's core fields of aerospace, energy, and high-precision medical equipment.
"new quality productivity is about scientific and technological innovation, achieving high value-added output, and consolidating and enhancing china's important position in the international industrial system. the core pursuit of new quality productivity is by no means purely centered on the struggle between cost and profit." in yu benhong, a member of the national committee of the chinese people's political consultative conference and chairman of kede cnc, believes that in order to solve the problems of insufficient innovation capabilities and uneven product quality of my country's manufacturing enterprises, my country's manufacturing industry should take advantage of its large scale, complete chain support and broad development space. taking advantage of the opportunities brought by the introduction of the 2024 version of the negative list for foreign investment access and the clearing of foreign investment access restrictions in the manufacturing sector, we will focus on cultivating and developing advanced manufacturing clusters and industry leaders with strong competitiveness. "for domestic machine tool companies, they should increase investment in research and development of domestic high-end five-axis machine tools, accelerate the technological transformation of production and manufacturing conditions, better integrate domestic and foreign industrial chain supply chain resources, and improve the quality and service capabilities of products made in china." yu. ben hong said.
in today's globalized world, open cooperation is an important way to enhance the international competitiveness of my country's manufacturing industry, and continuously consolidating internal strength has become the magic weapon for the transformation and upgrading of my country's manufacturing industry.
"in the future, my country's manufacturing industry must reshape its new competitive advantages and must accelerate transformation and upgrading. the first is to accelerate technological innovation and promotion and application, and improve the resilience and safety level of the industrial chain and supply chain; the second is to promote the optimization of industrial structure, eliminate backward production capacity, cultivate new technologies and new industries; the third is to implement the industrial foundation reconstruction project, strengthen the basic support system, and improve product quality and brand influence; the fourth is to accelerate the empowerment of digital technology, and at the same time provide strong support in terms of policy, taxation, and financial services." yongyi suggested.
