China News Service, Beijing, February 29 (Reporter Liu Wenwen) At the beginning of the New Year, China's foreign trade has shown good momentum.
The "three new things" represented by electric passenger vehicles, solar cells and lithium batteries continue to set sail, adding a bright color to China's manufacturing.
Since the Spring Festival, orders for the "three new items" from overseas have continued to rise, and companies in many places have been producing at full capacity, striving to be the "first" in the new year.
During the Spring Festival, many workers at the Haining base of Chint New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. in Zhejiang worked overtime to catch up on orders.
As the world's first-tier photovoltaic module supplier, the photovoltaic modules developed by Chint New Energy sell well overseas.
The company is currently at full production in the first quarter, and orders for the second quarter are also fully booked.
On February 21, the launch ceremony for the first batch of 10,000 electric vehicles exported by Anhui Jianghuai Automobile Group Co., Ltd. was held. Electric vehicles drove out of the factory one after another, boarded international ro-ro ships, and were shipped overseas.
Up to now, JAC has delivered nearly 10 million units of various products to users around the world.
As green development becomes a global consensus, China’s “three new products” continue to sell well overseas.
In 2023, China's "three new" products, including electric passenger vehicles, lithium batteries and solar cells, will export a total of 1.06 trillion yuan (RMB, the same below), exceeding the trillion yuan mark for the first time.
Among them, electric passenger vehicles performed particularly well.
Official data shows that currently, one in every three cars exported by China is an electric passenger vehicle. In 2023, China will export 1.773 million electric passenger vehicles, a year-on-year increase of 67.1%.
In terms of lithium batteries and solar cells, China's exports of lithium battery intermediate products to the United States and Germany achieved double-digit growth in 2023; China's exports of lithium batteries and solar cells to ASEAN and imported audio and video equipment parts all grew rapidly.
At present, the global supply chain is being reorganized and international trade competition is intensifying. Why can the "three new things" take the lead in the world's industrial competition?
Cai Zhibing, a professor at the Economics Teaching and Research Department of the Central Party School (National Academy of Administration), told a reporter from China News Service that from an international background, the sudden emergence of the "three new things" conforms to the trend of the global energy revolution. The popularization and application of renewable energy has become an important energy source in various countries. important support for structural optimization and economic development model transformation.
Cai Zhibing continued to say that from the domestic situation, China has carried out long-term systematic industrial layout, energy layout, and infrastructure layout around the development needs of the "three new things". The development strategy and policy system are relatively mature, and the competitive advantages of related industries, The scale advantages, quality advantages and cost advantages are relatively obvious, laying a solid foundation for increasing the international market share of the "New Three Products".
Wang Na, a professor at China Agricultural University, wrote in an article that the "three new things" in foreign trade exports are a microcosm of China's manufacturing transformation and upgrading in recent years, and are a powerful demonstration of China's strong economic development resilience, great potential, and vitality.
At present, China is the only country in the world that has all industrial categories in the United Nations industrial classification. The output of more than 220 industrial products ranks first in the world, and the overall scale of the manufacturing industry ranks first in the world for 14 consecutive years.
The rapid rise of industries represented by the "Three New Things" and their emergence as new economic growth poles are inseparable from the advantages of China's large and comprehensive manufacturing industry and China's ultra-large market advantage.
For example, the "4-hour industrial circle" for new energy vehicles formed in the Yangtze River Delta and the national-level advanced manufacturing cluster for power batteries formed in Fujian have laid a solid foundation for the development of the "three new things".
In this process, China's industrial structure has also been further optimized and upgraded, and "Made in China" has accelerated towards "Created in China".
In Cai Zhibing’s view, the continued popularity of the “three new items” can provide reference for creating new advantageous industries.
The future development of new industries requires continuous enhancement of original innovation capabilities, starting from basic theoretical innovation, basic material research and development, application technology application, management process optimization, product brand building and other multi-field systems, and accelerating the formation of an inexhaustible system that supports the continuous upgrading of Made in China and Created in China. kinetic energy.
Industry insiders analyze that the "three new items" represent the new direction of industrial development.
The Central Economic Work Conference emphasized that scientific and technological innovation should lead the construction of a modern industrial system.
As China continues to play its leading role in innovation, more new industries will rise at an accelerated pace and new growth points will continue to emerge, injecting a steady stream of momentum into the Chinese economy.
