"China's manufacturing industry needs to continue to enhance its ability to operate globally." Li Dongsheng, deputy to the National People's Congress and founder of TCL Group, brought up the topics of "globalization" and "going out" in an exclusive interview with China News Agency recently.
TCL was only a small factory producing tapes in Huizhou, Guangdong, and now it has grown into a globally competitive technology group.
Li Dongsheng is recognized as the soul and helm of TCL. He has served as a deputy to the National People's Congress for many years. Every year, the National People's Congress pays great attention to economic issues.
At present, China's manufacturing industry has a passive situation of insufficient supply in high-end links.
Li Dongsheng believes that to maintain the safety and stability of China's manufacturing industry chain, it is necessary to continue to promote Chinese industries to move towards the mid-to-high end of the global industrial value chain.
Today, China's industrial chain is facing difficulties.
Li Dongsheng proposed that it is necessary to increase the localization rate of key links in the industrial chain and improve the construction of the entire industrial chain of Chinese manufacturing.
It is recommended to take the lead in supporting leading enterprises with good industrial foundations and leading industries in the world to enter the upstream of the industrial chain.
"How to break through the technical bottleneck and maintain our own development is a problem we have to face and solve." In Li Dongsheng's view, the definition of the so-called "stuck neck" should be accurately judged, and it is difficult to form a monopoly blockade for some overseas projects. , equipment and materials can continue to be purchased overseas under the principle of international division of labor, and concentrate on breaking through the bottleneck of China's industrial transformation and upgrading.
In 2021, the resilience of China's industrial chain and supply chain will be improved.
The international competitiveness of industrial chains such as photovoltaics, wind power, and ships has been further enhanced.
"China's huge industrial manufacturing capacity and our industrial advantages should realize its value in the global industry." Li Dongsheng said, first, China's manufacturing industry has obvious comparative advantages in the global industrial chain; Market integration is getting closer; third, China's manufacturing industry has a large volume and a complete industrial chain; finally, China is promoting technological innovation, enabling China's manufacturing industry to accelerate its upgrade to high-end.
"These are the advantages of China's manufacturing industry's 'going overseas', so that we can get better services and support when we build an industrial chain around the world." Li Dongsheng said.
Nowadays, most countries and regions realize that the manufacturing industry must have a considerable proportion in the local area, and propose the return of the manufacturing industry.
Li Dongsheng believes that this requires a combination of "bringing in" and "going out" to improve the layout of China's manufacturing industry chain.
On the one hand, the country should take advantage of the opportunity of this round of industrial chain reconstruction to attract foreign high-tech manufacturing enterprises to invest and set up factories in China to form industrial clusters; R&D and production bases to accelerate the construction of a global industrial chain.
At present, the wave of anti-globalization caused by the superposition of the epidemic and trade protectionism will lead to the regionalization and shortening of the industrial chain, which is a major risk of the current globalization of China's manufacturing industry.
How to deal with this risk, Li Dongsheng shared his experience with his group as an example, including adjusting overseas production bases and supply chains; co-building production bases, supply chains and R&D systems with local companies to improve the level of localized operations; increasing R&D investment and layout Establish a global R&D system, etc.
"China's manufacturing industry has to face global competition, especially in the face of the de-globalization trend in recent years. We have to be more proactive." Li Dongsheng suggested that we should use the comparative advantages of China's manufacturing to promote the regional economy in a targeted manner. Cooperation and industrial chain clustering.
