"Made in China 2025" and "Guiding Opinions on Promoting International Capacity and Equipment Manufacturing Cooperation" pointed out that building an internationally competitive manufacturing industry is the only way for China to enhance its overall national strength, safeguard national security, and build a world power. As a major international capacity cooperation platform, the “Belt and Road” construction will provide broad market demand and implementation basis for the development of related manufacturing industries.

At the "Going Global" Strategy Forum of the 14th Chinese Enterprises held in Beijing a few days ago, Song Xiaogang, executive vice president of the China Machinery Industry Federation, proposed to promote the "going out" of manufacturing enterprises from a global and strategic level and promote enterprises. From "going out" to "going in".

International capacity cooperation for a win-win situation

In the view of Zhou Zhencheng, deputy director of the Department of Foreign Investment and Economic Cooperation of the Ministry of Commerce, promoting international cooperation in capacity and equipment manufacturing is an important part of promoting a new round of high-level opening up, which is conducive to improving the level of open economy development; Major strategies such as “One Road” and China-Africa “Triple Network One” cooperation; it is conducive to promoting Chinese enterprises to continuously improve their technology, quality and service levels, and enhance their comprehensive competitiveness; it is conducive to deepening mutually beneficial cooperation between China and relevant countries and promoting economic and social development. To achieve mutual benefit and win-win.

Zhou Zhencheng emphasized that the international capacity cooperation proposed by the Chinese government is a mutually beneficial bilateral cooperation. It is aimed at deepening the pragmatic cooperation in the economic field and related industries according to the different needs of national markets. At present, technological innovation is changing with each passing day, the global industrial structure is accelerating, and the process of economic globalization is accelerating. The remarkable feature of economic globalization is the division of labor and cooperation and complementary advantages. In the process of international capacity cooperation with relevant countries and regions, the Chinese government has always advocated operating in accordance with the principles of marketization, following international rules, and complying with relevant national laws and regulations to achieve mutual benefit and common development. The Chinese government insists on fully considering the resource endowment, supporting capacity, market conditions and other factors of the host country, so that the relevant cooperation projects can meet the actual needs of the locality, and neither the capacity beyond the local capacity can be imposed on the other party, nor the capacity that does not meet the local demand is left. At the same time, the Chinese government also insisted on increasing the points of interest with the host country, actively participating in local economic construction, helping the local government to improve the level of economic and industrial development, and allowing relevant cooperation projects to benefit local people's livelihood.

Intensify the promotion of manufacturing companies to "go out"

At present, the scale of China's machinery manufacturing industry has leapt to the first place in the world, and the pace of “going out” of manufacturing enterprises has been greatly accelerated. However, China is still in the process of industrialization, and there is still a big gap compared with advanced countries. The manufacturing industry is large but not strong, the independent innovation capability is weak, the key core technologies and high-end equipment are highly dependent on foreign countries, the manufacturing innovation system with enterprises as the main body is imperfect; the industrial structure is irrational, and the high-end equipment manufacturing industry and the production service industry develop. Lag; the level of informatization is not high, and the integration with industrialization is not deep enough; the degree of industrial internationalization is not high, and the ability of enterprises to operate globally is insufficient. To this end, Song Xiaogang, executive vice president of the China Machinery Industry Federation, proposed that the manufacturing industry should be “going out” from a global and strategic perspective, and that enterprises should constantly improve their international competitiveness in “going out” and truly realize their “going out”. "The transition to "going in".

First of all, we should closely combine national strategies and grasp the principle requirements. The “going out” of machinery manufacturing is to promote the transformation and upgrading of the industry and improve quality and efficiency on the basis of capacity cooperation and revitalization of stocks. First, it is necessary to closely integrate the major international infrastructure projects such as infrastructure and interconnection around the “Belt and Road” with the “going out” of equipment superior production capacity, and bring “industry” to “engineering”. Second, the company is the mainstay, market-oriented, and carry out international capacity and equipment manufacturing cooperation in accordance with international practices and commercial principles. Third, it is necessary to pay attention to its own transformation and upgrading, but also fully consider the national conditions and actual needs of the host country, strengthen mutually beneficial cooperation with local governments and enterprises, handle matters according to market rules, and handle relevant relations. “Going out” is not international assistance. On the basis of mutual benefit, we must ensure that the investment preserves and increases value.

Second, we must plan and implement the plan in a unified manner. Accelerating the pace of "going out" must be planned first, laid out in the front, not in the same place, blindly up, and even less forgiveness and vicious competition. According to the characteristics of the industry, in line with the principle that the other party has the demand and the enterprise has the advantage, the developing country with high degree of cooperation with China's industry and equipment, cooperation conditions and foundation, and cooperation desire is preferred. The implementation of China's “One Belt, One Road” strategy will be linked to relevant development strategies and plans of countries along the route, and will gradually drive comprehensive cooperation in production capacity.

Third, we must promote the “going out” of Chinese standards and independent brands. Promote China's standards to “go global”, promote applications through standards, foster emerging markets, and promote “going out” of products and industries. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is studying and formulating the “One Belt, One Road” standard cooperative action plan to promote the implementation of standard international cooperation. According to statistics, most of the enterprises that “go out” rely mainly on capital and labor advantages, and the proportion of “going out” that relies on independent intellectual property rights and brands is less than 20%. By grasping the brand building and cultivating the international influence of Chinese brands, it will not only help to further expand the market, but also help to increase the added value of products and enhance the international competitiveness of the industry.

Fourth, we must promote the "going out" of the industry chain as a whole. The “going out” of the industry chain as a whole can reduce costs and risks and improve efficiency and efficiency. China has a complete range of manufacturing industries and complete supporting systems. It has considerable foundation and advantages in design and production of complete machine products, manufacturing of basic components/key components, system integration and services. Taking engineering projects and large-scale equipment “going out” to meet the needs of engineering construction and local market, we will build a raw material production base and a parts processing and distribution base, and form a complete industrial chain within the region to form a tightly coupled development between different industries. system. The China-Belarus Industrial Park in Belarus, the Chambishi Industrial Park in Zambia, the Rayong Industrial Park in Thailand, and the Haier Industrial Park in Pakistan are typical representatives.

Fifth, enterprises will enhance their international competitiveness in “going out”. Through overseas mergers and acquisitions, equity investment, and establishment of R&D centers, companies can gain faster access to global innovations, well-known brands, key resources and mature marketing service channels in a new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation. The global layout of the industry. At present, domestic enterprises, especially equipment manufacturing enterprises, have made some successful attempts in this regard. For example, in the field of construction machinery, Sany Heavy Industry (600031, shares it), Zoomlion (000157, shares it), Xugong and other companies have acquired the world's leading concrete machinery companies; Shandong Weichai Power (000338, shares it) acquisition of the world's second The forklift company Kay, Germany, has acquired the world's leading high-end hydraulic components production technology and technology. In the automotive field, Geely acquired Volvo, and Changan Automobile (000625, shares it) set up R&D centers in Italy and the United States, which greatly promoted the development of independent brands.
