  On the afternoon of April 26, General Secretary Xi Jinping visited Liuzhou, the largest industrial city in Guangxi.

He has seen a 63-year-old construction machinery company and a "newly promoted" "Internet celebrity food" industry in recent years.

Why does the general secretary look at these two points, and what are the highlights of this trip?

"Current Affairs News Eye" analyzes for you.

Liugong Group: Forging Engineering Machinery "Weapon"

  On the afternoon of the 26th, Xi Jinping first came to Guangxi Liugong Group Co., Ltd. to learn about the reform and innovation of the enterprise and the development of the manufacturing industry.

  Liugong Group is one of the top 100 enterprises in China's machinery industry, with a total of 32 complete machine product lines in 13 categories, including excavation machinery, shovel machinery, and agricultural machinery.

In 1966, Liugong launched the first modern wheel loader for earth and stone construction.

Today, the sales volume of Liugong loaders ranks first in the world.

  In 2002, Liugong Group launched the "Going Global" development strategy. Now it has 20 manufacturing bases and 13 overseas subsidiaries around the world, and its products are exported to more than 170 countries and regions, covering more than 50 countries along the "Belt and Road". .

  Liu Gongong told "Current Affairs News Eye" that whether it is the hot Sahara Desert or the extremely cold Antarctic hinterland, there are Liugong machinery. This is a vivid example of the excellent quality of "Made in China".

  In Liugong, there is a global R&D center.

The main direction is the research and development of earth-moving machinery reliability, performance, energy saving and environmental protection, and it is the only national technology center in the field of earth-moving machinery in my country.

In the six years since the R&D center was established, Liugong has applied for 1,358 technical patents.

  Relying on independent R&D and innovation, Liugong has created a new world of national brand excavators and loaders.

From the largest tonnage loader that interprets the charm of "extreme working conditions and powerful equipment" to the world's first 20-ton pure electric drive excavator, Liugong Group has always been forging a "weapon" for construction machinery.

Xi Jinping: Make the manufacturing industry more solid, better, and stronger

  This is not the first time Xi Jinping has paid attention to "Made in Guangxi."

In 2010 and 2017, he visited the same company in Guangxi, Guangxi Nannan Aluminum Processing Co., Ltd. twice.

Nannan Aluminum, which was born in the same year as Liugong Group, is a manufacturing enterprise focusing on the aluminum industry.

The first time he visited Nannan Aluminum, Xi Jinping saw only traditional building materials products, and the second time new products and high-end products such as high-speed rail, new energy vehicles, aerospace and aerospace appeared. The general secretary described the company as a "shotgun replacement." ".

  When inspecting Nannan Aluminum in 2017, the general secretary said that a country must have the correct strategic choice. my country is a big country and must develop the real economy, continuously promote industrial modernization, and improve the manufacturing level.

  In recent years, the General Secretary has repeatedly emphasized that the real economy, especially the manufacturing industry, must be strengthened and improved.

In September last year, when he inspected Hunan Sunward Intelligence, a leading enterprise in the field of equipment manufacturing, he explained the reasons why he attaches so much importance to manufacturing: "In today's world, where the uncertainty and instability are obviously increasing, we must build new developments. In order to build a strong manufacturing country, the key core technologies must be firmly in our own hands, and the manufacturing industry must also be grasped in our own hands."

  "Manufacturing is the lifeblood of the country's economy." General Secretary Nianzia here.

Liuzhou snail powder, why "butterfly change"?

  In Liuzhou, snail noodles that smell "smelly" and taste "sweet" are performing a legend of turning "millet noodles" into a "big industry" and "butterfly change" from traditional specialty products to "net celebrity food".

  On the afternoon of the 26th, Xi Jinping came to the Liuzhou snail meal production cluster area to learn about the development of this characteristic industry.

  A bowl of snail powder gave birth to an industrial park.

The agglomeration area is located in the SME Incubation Park of Hexi High-tech Zone in Liunan District. At present, 34 snail powder production and supporting enterprises have settled in, employing nearly 3,000 people, and the daily output of snail powder is about 1.5 million bags.

△The six characteristics of Liuzhou snail noodles are fresh, fragrant, spicy, sour, refreshing and hot.

  In recent years, Liuzhou has developed the characteristic industry of snail noodles with the concept of industrialization.

In 2014, the first bagged Liuzhou snail powder manufacturer was born.

In 2019, the "Liuzhou snail noodles" e-commerce industrial park opened.

Last year, the "Liuzhou Snail Noodle Industry College" was established.

Liuzhou snail noodles have become a representative of the “deep integration of industry, academia, and research” in the catering industry, accurately capturing the “stomach” of urban young people in a “heart-wrenching” way, thereby promoting “net celebrities” and selling them globally.

  Liuzhou snail noodles from the upstream production of bamboo shoots, beans, snails, yuba and other raw materials, midstream food processing and packaging, downstream supermarkets, e-commerce, logistics, and the surrounding cultural tourism experience, etc., has driven a complete industrial chain development of.

Last year, the sales revenue of Liuzhou snail noodles reached 11 billion yuan, and the sales income of supporting and derivative products exceeded 13 billion yuan. The bagged Liuzhou snail noodles sold 1.1 billion bags online.

Do a good job in this big article on characteristic industries

  From the "small fungus big industry" and "small yellow flower big industry" he liked during his inspection trip last year, to the "shaxian snack big industry" and "millet flour big industry" he has been paying attention to since the beginning of this year, Xi Jinping has always been concerned about the development of characteristic industries.

  The "14th Five-Year Plan" outline has mentioned "characteristic industries" many times: "developing characteristic industries according to local conditions", "promoting the sustainable development of characteristic industries", "implementing special cultivation and breeding industries in poverty alleviation areas", and "developing distinctive industries." "Modern Rural Enriching Industry", "Construction of Advantageous Agricultural Products Industrial Belts and Advantageous Areas of Special Agricultural Products"...

  A few days ago, the National Bureau of Statistics released data: my country's GDP in the first quarter increased by 18.3% year-on-year.

In the context of the global economic downturn, this data is not easy to come by.

The characteristic industries that the General Secretary pays attention to play an important role in forming a strong domestic market and building a new development pattern.

One side feeds the other people.

The characteristic industries that have grown vigorously from the vast land are bringing springtime to the Chinese economy.
