Technology is always the primary productive force, and this famous saying still looks out of date today. It can be said that in today's international market, whoever masters the top technology is equivalent to mastering the market. South Korea has an advantage in semiconductors, Japan's precision machine tool and engine fields are unique in the world, and China also has its own advantages in many fields. The three Asian countries have their own characteristics in the field of science and technology.
So how did the technology industry on which South Korea and Japan rely for their fame form? In what aspects does China occupy a global leading position?
1. The development path of South Korea's semiconductors
Korean semiconductors are the trump card of South Korea's No. 1 company Samsung , and it is also the fundamental reason why Samsung mobile is the best-selling globally. However, Samsung was not a technology powerhouse at all, and even didn't know what semiconductor is.
In order to protect South Korea in name, the United States has stationed troops in South Korea, and the relationship between the United States and South Korea is getting closer and closer. In the 1970s, American technology companies were limited by costs, and had to transfer business to their manufacturing factories in their country, and the "obedient" South Korea became the most suitable location.
Relying on the advanced American technology, Koreans have solved the employment problems of a large number of labor force, and even helped South Korea's per capita income level continue to improve, reaching the ranks of developed countries. With the rise of the chip industry, South Korea has become the best location for semiconductor companies' foundries, and Samsung has stood out and become a world-wide chip manufacturing power that is shoulder-to-shoulder with TSMC.
Japan's development trajectory is similar to that of South Korea.
2. The rise of Japan's machine tool industry
Japan was also stationed by the United States after its defeat in World War II . During the process of relocating manufacturing, the United States not only chose South Korea as its site, but also chose a place to build an OEM factory. This place is convenient for Japan.
Unlike South Korea's large number of low labor costs manufacturing industries, Japan emphasizes craftsman spirit , so they repeatedly make breakthroughs in precision instrument manufacturing with their meticulous spirit, and has even become a world-class machine tool manufacturing country. The high-refined production of
machine tools means that this country can carry out high-precision industrial production. So Japan seized the field of fuel vehicle manufacturing and developed a high-performance engine comparable to German cars. It also gave birth to excellent Japanese car companies such as Toyota and Honda. cars were sold worldwide and became Japan's signature industry.
So, as China, which has the strongest economic and technological strength among the three Asian countries, what irreplaceable advantages does it have?
3. What industrial advantages does China have?
China is the largest market in the world with the largest demand for smartphones, which is inseparable from China's perfect network construction. Although we are at the end of the international end in the 2G and 3G eras, with the construction of 4G and 5G technologies and the laying of 5G base stations, China has long surpassed Western countries in the field of communication networks and has become the most complete 5G construction country in the world.
Among them, the company that plays a major role is Huawei . Huawei's 5G technology is at the leading level worldwide. Even within the time limit, even won the first place in Europe's 5G patent application in the past three years, which shows its strength.
China's second technology to become famous, is China's super steel technology leading the world. China is known as the "infrastructure maniac". The speed and quality of China's base stations enjoy a good reputation internationally, which is not unrelated to China's mature and complete super steel manufacturing and production technology.
China's third leading Asian country technology is new energy batteries. If you want to talk about the hottest market in the world in the past two years, then new energy vehicles must be. The reason why China's new energy vehicles are developing rapidly is closely related to the breakthroughs made in China's new energy battery field. BYD three-electric system is the world leader, and CATL's lithium battery capacity is strong, which are all boosts to the rise of China's new energy vehicles.
. Chinese fuel vehicles had a gap like a gap with Japanese fuel vehicles. The reason for is that China's machine tool technology is limited and it is difficult to develop high-performance engines. This makes Chinese fuel vehicles can only purchase high-priced engines in other countries, and it is difficult to make breakthroughs on their own. However, with the booming new energy vehicle market, China can surpass Japanese cars through new energy, thereby occupying a global leading position in the future automobile market.
Conclusion
South Korea has a semiconductor industry, Japan has high-precision machine tools, and China also has its own developed new energy vehicles and 5G patents. The three Asian countries have irreplaceable industrial advantages, but China's complete industrial chain and low labor costs are advantages that Japan and South Korea have never had. Therefore, China may gain an advantage in international business competition in the future.
