[Understand the car Emperor original industry] October 15, 2021 China Automotive Supply Chain Conference opened in Chongqing, China Machinery Industry Federation Executive Vice President Chen Bin delivered a keynote speech, right The current shortage of automotive chips was considered. He said that in the past, China did not pay enough attention to chips in the automotive supply chain, which led to a year-on-year decline in production and sales for five consecutive months in the automotive market from May to September this year. Based on this speculation, it is possible to reduce production by about 2 million vehicles throughout the year.

Chen Bin said that China, as a major manufacturing country, automobile production and consumer country, has ranked first in the world in automobile production and sales for more than ten consecutive years, but a single chip allows China is currently facing a reduction in sales of millions of vehicles a year, which is a concentrated reflection of the ecological fragility of China's manufacturing supply chain.

Chen Bin believes that the fragility of the automotive supply chain ecology reflects that the biggest obstacle to the construction of the supply chain ecology in China's manufacturing industry is the institutional obstacles, lack of integration, lack of coordination, and lack of trust. Departments have boundaries, industries have barriers, and enterprises have walls, which are particularly prominent in state-owned enterprises. These problems have become the biggest obstacle for China's manufacturing industry to build a new supply chain ecology and promote innovative development and high-quality development.

To this end, China needs to break through departmental boundaries, break down industry barriers, open up corporate walls, integrate development, collaborative innovation, and create a new ecology of the automotive supply chain.
