Cctv newsOn September 13th, the State Council Office held a press conference on "Promoting the Construction of a Powerful Country and Building a Powerful Network to Help Build a Well-off Society in an All-round Way".
The Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology said that since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, historic achievements and changes have taken place in industrial and information development, which has significantly enhanced the country’s economic strength, scientific and technological strength and comprehensive national strength, and made important contributions to improving people’s quality of life and building a well-off society in an all-round way.
First, the status of manufacturing power has been further consolidated.. Since 2010, China’s manufacturing industry has ranked first in the world for 11 consecutive years. Mainly reflected in: large volume, from 2012 to 2020, China’s industrial added value increased from 20.9 trillion yuan to 31.3 trillion yuan, of which the added value of manufacturing industry increased from 16.98 trillion yuan to 26.6 trillion yuan, accounting for nearly 30% of the global total. The system is complete. China’s industry has 41 categories, 207 middle categories and 666 sub-categories, making it the country with the most complete industrial system in the world. Of the 500 major industrial products, more than 40% have the highest output in the world. Competitiveness has been enhanced, and key industries such as photovoltaics, new energy vehicles, household appliances, smart phones and consumer-grade drones rank among the top in the world, and a large number of high-end brands such as communication equipment, construction machinery and high-speed rail have gone global.
Second, major breakthroughs have been made in innovation in key areas.. Major projects have been reported frequently, such as the return of extraterrestrial objects from Chang ‘e V, the launch of Mars exploration by Tianwen-1, and the successful bottom of the 10,000-meter trench of Endeavor, setting a new record for deep space and deep sea exploration in China. The Beidou-3 global satellite navigation system has been fully completed, creating a new era of independent global satellite navigation in China. The world’s first million-kilowatt hydro-generator set was officially put into production, marking a new leap in China’s major equipment manufacturing. There are many bright spots in big countries. The first domestic aircraft carrier was installed, C919 large passenger plane was tested, the world’s largest and most technically difficult Three Gorges vertical ship lift was put into operation, the world’s most advanced ultra-deep water drilling platform was built and put into operation, the world’s first set of 8.8m ultra-large mining height intelligent mining equipment was successfully developed, and UHV power transmission and transformation, large-scale tunneling equipment, large-scale coal chemical equipment and metal nano-structured materials were among the top in the world, marking the continuous improvement of China’s manufacturing level.China’s manufacturing industry is moving from China manufacturing to China creation..
Third, the industrial structure was accelerated and upgraded.. The leading role of high-tech manufacturing and equipment manufacturing has been significantly enhanced, and the proportion of high-tech manufacturing in the added value of industrial enterprises above designated size has increased from 9.4% in 2012 to 15.1% last year; The proportion of equipment manufacturing industry in the added value of industrial enterprises above designated size has increased from 28% to 33.7%, and its contribution rate to the growth of industrial enterprises above designated size will exceed 70% in 2020. Traditional industries have gained new vitality, and great achievements have been made in resolving excess capacity, and the goal of removing 150 million tons of steel industry capacity in the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" has been achieved two years ahead of schedule. The proportion of technological transformation investment in industrial investment has increased to 47.1%, and new technologies, new materials, new equipment and new processes have been widely used. The sales revenue of new products of industrial enterprises above designated size has increased to about 20% of the main business income.
At the same time, the energy consumption of added value of industrial units above designated size dropped by 16% in the 13th Five-Year Plan. The digital transformation of manufacturing industry has been accelerated in an all-round way. The numerical control rate of key processes in key areas has increased from 24.6% in 2012 to 52.1% in 2020, and the penetration rate of digital R&D and design tools has increased from 48.8% to 73%. The industrial regional layout has been continuously optimized, and the leading role of key areas such as Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, Yangtze River Delta and Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area has been further enhanced. A large number of advanced manufacturing clusters have been formed in the fields of electronic information, rail transit, construction machinery and automobiles.
Fourth, the strength of manufacturing enterprises has increased significantly.. The backbone leading enterprises have accelerated their development and growth. The total assets and operating income of the top 500 manufacturing enterprises in China have increased from 19.7 trillion yuan and 21.7 trillion yuan in 2012 to 39.19 trillion yuan and 37.4 trillion yuan in 2020 respectively. In the latest list of the world’s top 500 enterprises, 73 enterprises in China’s industrial field were shortlisted, 28 more than in 2012, with a very large increase. Small and medium-sized enterprises are very active in entrepreneurial innovation, and their professional level has been continuously improved. They have cultivated more than 40,000 "specialized and innovative" enterprises, more than 4,700 "little giant" enterprises and nearly 600 single champion enterprises in manufacturing. The main role of enterprise innovation has been significantly enhanced. In 2020, the total number of research and experimental development institutions and R&D expenditures of industrial enterprises above designated size have doubled compared with 2012, and the number of effective invention patent applications has more than tripled.
Fifth, the information and communication industry has achieved a new leap.. The world’s largest optical fiber and mobile communication network will be built, the fixed broadband will be upgraded from 100 megabits to gigabit, and the optical network city will be fully built; Mobile communication has evolved from 4G to 5G, leading the world in network, industry and application. The global proportion of 5G base stations and terminal connections exceeds 70% and 80% respectively. The proportion of administrative villages and poverty-stricken villages connected with optical fiber and 4G is over 99%, and the problem of rural communication difficulties has been solved historically. Network application expands from consumption to production. Mobile payment is widely used, and online shopping, online learning and telemedicine have become new ways of working and living. The integration of new technologies such as 5G and industrial Internet with manufacturing industry has accelerated, and new scenes, models and formats such as collaborative R&D and design, unmanned intelligent inspection, digital factories and smart mines have flourished. The pace of digital industrialization and industrial digitalization has accelerated, and the digital economy has provided a strong impetus for sustained and healthy economic and social development.
