  "In the past 10 years, China's economy has developed rapidly and has become a major manufacturing country in the world. We have provided the world's largest proportion of industrial products." On the eve of the opening of the National People's Congress, TCL founder and chairman Li Dongsheng was receiving in Shenzhen. In an interview, a reporter from Xin News Agency said that he believes in the resilience of China's economy and the competitiveness of Chinese companies has increased significantly compared to 10 years ago. No matter how the external environment changes, he believes that China's manufacturing industry will still maintain its relative competitive advantage.

  Li Dongsheng, who served as the first chairman of the China Manufacturing Innovation Alliance in 2018, is one of the most influential entrepreneurs in China's manufacturing industry.

Li Dongsheng told reporters that this year he has prepared several proposals that will focus on the economy and industry, including focusing on the ecological development of the new display industry, and Chinese companies strengthening dual cycles and accelerating globalization.

  Li Dongsheng said that after more than 10 years of development, China's new display industry has taken a leading position in the world in terms of scale. However, in the field of next-generation new display technology, related materials and equipment still need to make greater breakthroughs.

  Public data shows that at present, the overall output value of China's new displays has exceeded 400 billion yuan, and the scale of the LCD industry is the largest in the world.

But China still needs to work hard to change from "showing a big country" to "showing a strong country."

  "The development of new display technologies and industries, and the expansion of the market, are more driven by technological innovation." Li Dongsheng suggested that the supporting capabilities of the industrial chain should be strengthened. Because some core materials and many key core equipment are almost all imported, in the future It is hoped to accelerate the development of some core materials in China and accelerate the cultivation of a batch of core equipment industries.

  Li Dongsheng proposed to support Chinese enterprises to participate in the "double cycle".

First of all, it is necessary to reshape and improve the internal recycling industry chain, build a related system for core technology research, attract more social capital to invest in high-tech industries, encourage core enterprises in the industry chain to actively expand into high value-added areas, and implement targeted policies to retain the core Industry; secondly, help Chinese companies improve their global operating capabilities, establish an international trade environment risk prevention and control system, broaden the financing channels for companies’ overseas development, and support companies to set up factories overseas and conduct localized operations.

  "In 2020, our overseas operating income will continue to grow. In addition, exports are 11.1 billion U.S. dollars, an increase of 23.6% year-on-year." Li Dongsheng told reporters that TCL's overseas revenue growth is based on its established global industrial chain supply chain system. Yes, many products are produced locally, sold locally, and provided services locally. The income of these businesses is summed up as overseas operating income.

  "If a company has a global industrial chain, exports can be enlarged." Li Dongsheng explained that under the new globalization pattern, companies can establish a complete industrial chain supply chain system around the world, which can effectively promote the export of related core components, materials and equipment. So as to further increase the export income of enterprises.

  Based on TCL’s own globalization strategy, Li Dongsheng has made some useful explorations on how to practice the “domestic and international dual-cycle mutual promotion”, but he believes that there is still a lot of work to be done in this area, and there are also many issues that need to be addressed from the government to the enterprise More discussion.
