build a manufacturing power, make the manufacturing industry more solid, better and stronger
—The road to a strong country is setting sail ②
From 2012 to 2021, the industrial added value of increased from 20.9 trillion yuan to 37.3 trillion yuan, with an average annual growth of 6.3%; the added value of manufacturing industry increased from 16.98 trillion yuan to 31.4 trillion yuan, with a global share increased from about 20% to nearly 30%; among the 500 major industrial products, more than 40% of my country's production ranks first in the world... At the series of theme press conferences on the "China's Ten Years" series, one inspiring achievements witnessed the steady growth of quantity and significant improvement in quality in my country's manufacturing industry development, the industrial system is more sound, the industrial chain is more complete, and the comprehensive strength, innovation and competitiveness have reached a new level.

Manufacturing is the main body of the national economy, the foundation of building a country, the tool for prospering a country, and the foundation for strengthening a country. History and practice show that without a strong manufacturing industry, there will be no strong country and nation. General Secretary Xi Jinping attaches great importance to promoting the transformation and upgrading of my country's manufacturing industry and building a manufacturing power. He emphasized that "the high-quality development of manufacturing industry, especially equipment manufacturing industry, is the top priority of my country's high-quality economic development." He proposed that "promoting the high-quality development of manufacturing industry is an important part of building a modern economic system", and required that "make the real economy, especially manufacturing industry, be practical, better and stronger" and "build an internationally competitive advanced manufacturing industry cluster, and create an independent, controllable, safe and efficient industrial chain and supply chain that serves the whole country." To make the country truly strong, we must lay a solid foundation for manufacturing in a big country and stimulate strong impetus to scientific and technological innovation.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, my country's manufacturing industry has achieved historic achievements and undergone historic changes. has grown from 400,000 industrial enterprises above a certain scale to more than 40,000 " specialized and new " small and medium-sized enterprises. my country's comprehensive manufacturing strength continues to improve, and the vitality and strength of market entities continues to increase; from the production and sales of new energy vehicles ranked first in the world for seven consecutive years, to the shipment of 5G mobile phones in 2021, the quality of my country's manufacturing supply system has been greatly improved, constantly meeting the people's needs for a better life; from large aircraft, manned space flight, power equipment, high-end CNC machine tools and other fields have achieved innovative breakthroughs. By 2021, the CNC rate of key processes of key industrial enterprises and the penetration rate of digital R&D design tools will reach 55.3% and 74.7% respectively. my country has accelerated the transformation and upgrading of manufacturing production models, and achieved new results in the development of high-end, intelligent and green... After ten years of progress, the construction of a manufacturing power has opened a new chapter, laying a more solid material foundation for building a moderately prosperous society in all respects and embarking on a new journey of comprehensively building a modern socialist country in all respects.
At present, my country's manufacturing industry is in a critical period of structural adjustment, quality and efficiency improvement, and is also in a critical period of becoming stronger from big to strong and climbing over obstacles. looks at the trend, and the new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation has formed a historic intersection with the stage of high-quality economic development in my country; look at the shortcomings, compared with the world's advanced level, the gap between China's manufacturing in independent innovation capabilities, resource utilization efficiency, industrial structure level, informatization level, quality and efficiency is still relatively obvious. To complete the strategic task of China's manufacturing from big to strong, we must strengthen top-level design and forward-looking deployment, continue to promote the high-end progress, intelligent upgrade and green transformation of manufacturing, continuously improve the development vitality and international competitiveness of the manufacturing industry, and strive to achieve the goal proposed by General Secretary Xi Jinping to "promote the transformation of China's manufacturing to Chinese creation, China's speed to Chinese quality, and Chinese products to Chinese brands."
The core of manufacturing is innovation, which is to master key core technologies. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: "To promote the transformation and upgrading of my country's manufacturing industry and build a manufacturing power, we must strengthen technology research and development, improve the domestic substitution rate, and take the lifeblood of science and technology into our own hands, so that the country can truly become stronger."At present, the intensity of R&D investment in my country's manufacturing industry has increased from 0.85% in 2012 to 1.54% in 2021. The average R&D intensity of specialized and new "little giants" enterprises has reached 10.3%, and more than 570 industrial enterprises have been shortlisted for the top 2,500 R&D investment in the world; at the same time, 23 national manufacturing innovation centers and national and local co-construction manufacturing innovation centers have been planned to build 125 industrial technology basic public service platforms, and the supply capacity of common technology has been greatly improved. Only by putting innovation at the core position of the overall development of manufacturing industry can China's manufacturing "bones" be stronger and more vigorous. More sufficient.
Not long ago, International Railway Alliance released and implemented the high-speed railway design infrastructure standards and power supply standards formulated by my country, filling the international gap in related fields. stands at a new historical starting point, insisting on taking the new industrialization path of Chinese characteristics, and building our country into a manufacturing power that leads the development of the world's manufacturing industry. It will surely lay a solid foundation for enhancing comprehensive national strength, safeguarding national security, building a socialist modern power, and building a strategic advantage for future development .
