[Explanation] In a recent interview with China News Agency, TCL founder and chairman Li Dongsheng, deputy to the National People's Congress, brought up the topics of "globalization" and "going out".
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.
At present, China's manufacturing industry has a shortage of 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.

Manufacturing is China's comparative advantage in global competition. China's manufacturing accounts for nearly 30% of global manufacturing output. Such a large manufacturing capacity cannot be digested by the Chinese market alone. It must release its production capacity in the global market.
Therefore, the next step in China's manufacturing industry to break through the development ceiling, we must continue to enhance the ability of global operations.
Another way and path of globalization is that in the past, we mostly exported products. In the future, this will require a shift from exporting products to exporting China’s industrial capabilities, and the inward-looking manufacturing industry is an obvious trend. .
[Explanation] Li Dongsheng also pointed out that China's huge industrial manufacturing capacity and industrial advantages are relatively prominent, and its value should be realized in the global industry.

China's manufacturing industry has established a comparative advantage in global competition. China's industry has a complete range of categories. China's manufacturing industry has high management capabilities and high quality of employees.
In addition, China's entire industrial system is relatively complete, which enables Chinese enterprises to go global, and its foundation is relatively solid. In addition, China's infrastructure is also very complete. Whether it is ports, railways, and shipping systems, China already has the largest logistics flow in the world. This kind of logistics support system allows us to get better service and support when we build an industrial chain around the world.
[Explanation] Nowadays, many countries and regions around the world 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.
[Concurrent] Li Dongsheng, founder and chairman of TCL, deputy to the National People's Congress
Developed countries including the United States and Europe have proposed the return of manufacturing, and developing countries have an urgent need to develop their own industries. Therefore, Chinese companies must develop their own industries and supply chain systems to develop better in the global market. Achieve global layout.
Therefore, the globalization of Chinese enterprises is more about the globalization of business capabilities, rather than simply exporting products.
Under the circumstances of the global epidemic in the past two years, it is very difficult for our management cadres to face-to-face business trips, but through our information management system, we can effectively support the normal development of our global business.
In the past two years, our global business sales have continued to grow. Last year, our overseas revenue was 117 billion yuan, an increase of 65% year-on-year. This is also supported by our global system.
