"High end equipment manufacturing, at a large scale, symbolizes a country's core competitiveness and involves the country's economy and national defense security; at a small scale, it is related to the survival and development of many industries and enterprises." In a recent interview, Wang Jinfu, general manager of Chery Heavy Industry Co., Ltd., and other equipment manufacturers said that in the past 10 years, China's machinery industry has developed rapidly. China has become a real equipment manufacturing country, but it is not a powerful equipment manufacturing country. To realize the dream of "from big to strong", we must speed up the cultivation and promotion of independent high-end equipment manufacturing industry by improving the ability of independent innovation.
Wang Jinfu said: "when judging whether a country's machinery industry is strong, people are more concerned about the performance of several aspects - whether they have mastered the core technology of independent intellectual property rights, whether they have strong technical capacity of major equipment, whether they have a high proportion of high-end equipment, and whether the variety and quality of mainstream technical equipment are in a leading position in the world. In fact, it depends on the development of high-end equipment manufacturing industry."
"In recent years, driven by the state's vigorous promotion of domestic demand and a number of incentive policies, China's machinery and equipment manufacturing industry has achieved strong growth in scale." "However, the core competitiveness of China's independent brand manufacturing industry is generally not strong, with overcapacity at the middle and low ends and fierce competition. The high-end links of many industries are firmly controlled by foreign brands. At the same time, in terms of key parts and core technologies, they have been 'stuck' by foreign brands for a long time," Wang Jinfu said
Wang Ruixiang, President of China Machinery Industry Federation, believes that China has become a major equipment manufacturing country in the world, but it is also an indisputable fact that it is "big but not strong". Especially under the influence of the international financial crisis and the European debt crisis, China's equipment manufacturing industry is facing a severe situation of interception before and pursuit after. Especially in terms of high-end equipment, the United States, the European Union and other developed countries began to recover the production and processing and manufacturing industries of high-tech and high value-added equipment products from overseas to the mainland, and adopted many incentive policies, such as tax relief, subsidies and incentives, to encourage investors and manufacturers to return to the mainland.
Wang Ruixiang said that at present, the introduction of advanced technology and the import of high-end products are still the harsh reality faced by China's equipment manufacturing industry. High end machine tools, high-end engines, high-end instruments and control systems need to be introduced from abroad. Among them, 90% of high-grade CNC machine tools, 95% of CNC systems and 70% of instruments and meters are imported. In the field of basic parts, 70% of the high-grade functional parts supporting high-grade CNC machine tools need to be imported, all the hydraulic parts above 30MPa required by large construction machinery, and almost all the gear boxes with a speed of more than 200km / h, wind power gear boxes with a speed of more than 2.5MW, large coal machine gear boxes, high-speed train brakes, electro-hydraulic driving devices of large shield machines, etc. Although China has carried out joint venture and cooperative production with foreign advanced enterprises in marine diesel engine, the key core technology and brand are still in the hands of foreign enterprises, and China has not got rid of the "working" processing and manufacturing position.
Wang Ruixiang stressed that for China's equipment manufacturing industry, the key is to speed up the construction of independent R & D capacity. The state should find ways to give policy support on the one hand, and integrate resources and organize technological research on the other hand. "At present, the strength of China's scientific research institutes is still very scattered, so we should think of ways to integrate and concentrate, and colleges and universities should also consider how to participate. I believe that if the forces of several aspects are organized together, China will be able to gradually break through the technical bottleneck, break through the current situation that high-end equipment is monopolized by foreign enterprises, and gradually form a high-tech led, high-end value chain and core link of the industrial chain, which can improve the whole production High end equipment manufacturing industry with core competitiveness. "
Ren Hongbin, chairman of State Machinery Group Co., Ltd., said that the high-end equipment manufacturing industry is a concentrated embodiment of the level of the equipment manufacturing industry and an important symbol of a country's national strength. The CPC Central Committee and the State Council have clearly included it in the strategic emerging industry to accelerate the cultivation and development during the 12th Five Year Plan period.
In order to make good use of the domestic market demand resources, accelerate the development of China's high-end equipment manufacturing industry and promote the upgrading of equipment manufacturing industry, Ren Hongbin and other people suggested: first, take the domestic market demand as the chip and operate according to the market rules to force developed countries to transfer technology to China, relax the export control of China's high-end equipment and give up the import restrictions on China's medium and low-end products; Second, formulate procurement policies for high-end equipment conducive to independent innovation, clarify that national key projects have the obligation to do supporting projects for the localization of high-end equipment, and give priority to the procurement of domestic equipment when bidding for project equipment procurement; The quotation for foreign investors shall be calculated according to the actual transaction price in the Chinese market 3-5 years ago, so as to prevent them from maliciously reducing prices and suppressing domestic enterprises newly entering the field.
