the report to the 20th national congress of the communist party of china (cpc) pointed out that china's manufacturing sector is firmly the largest in the world. it clearly pointed out that china will continue to focus on the real economy in developing the economy, promote a new type of industrialization, and accelerate the building of a strong manufacturing, quality, aerospace, transportation, internet and digital china. special ten years, chinese manufacturing industry repeatedly create miracle, firmly stand firm in the world "c", in the road from big to strong courage and fortitude.
manufacturing is the foundation of the real economy, the lifeblood of the national economy, and the foundation for building a strong country. the general secretary pointed out that a country must have the right strategic choice. china is a large country, and we must develop the real economy, continuously promote industrial modernization and improve the level of manufacturing. since the 18th national congress of the communist party of china (cpc), the cpc central committee with comrades at the core has attached great importance to the development of the real economy, especially the manufacturing sector, and made clear the strategic position of the manufacturing sector from the strategic perspective of realizing the two centenary goals. the paper emphasized that "industry is the foundation of our nation", "manufacturing industry is the lifeline of our economy", "accelerate the construction of a strong manufacturing country" and "strive to build our country into a network power", etc., providing the fundamental follow for the high-quality development of chinese manufacturing industry.
relying on the super-large market advantage in china and the world's largest middle-income group, the scale advantage of chinese manufacturing industry has been constantly consolidated. the value added of the manufacturing sector increased from 16.98 trillion yuan in 2012 to 31.4 trillion yuan in 2021, accounting for nearly 30 percent of the global market, up from 22.5 percent, and remaining the world's largest manufacturing country for 12 consecutive years. among the world's 500 major industrial products, the output of more than 40 percent of them ranks first in the world. strong domestic market accelerates the formation, it also provides conditions for our manufacturing industry to transform from scale economies to the "double advantage" of scope economy and scale economy advantage based on mass customization. at the same time, with the most complete industrial categories, the most complete industrial system, and the world's leading industrial chain supporting capacity, china's manufacturing industry has the advantages of being large and comprehensive, with strong resilience and development potential, and can quickly build a "breakwater", which has been fully demonstrated in china's response to the covid-19 epidemic and other shocks.
the strategic theme of high-quality development guides china's manufacturing industry to accelerate its march to the high end of the industrial chain. since the eighteenth congress of the cpc central committee and the state council and the departments on deepening the reform of supply side structural this main line, put manufacturing high quality development in a more prominent position, surrounding the construction of advanced manufacturing industry cluster, the industrial technology innovation, the industrial base reconstruction has formulated a series of policies and measures, department coordination, central linkage, a policy system of horizontal linkage, vertical linkage and coordination has been formed for the manufacturing industry, and the environment for manufacturing development has been constantly optimized. the international competitiveness of chinese manufacturing industry has been further improved, the position in the global industrial chain and supply chain value chain continues to climb, the global proportion of manufacturing intermediate goods trade reaches about 20%, communications equipment, high-speed rail, satellites and other systems to go out of the country.
collaborative innovation by large, medium and small enterprises has accelerated innovation in all fields, giving china's manufacturing industry new advantages. enterprises are the main body of innovation. in the past ten years, relevant incentive policies have been constantly improved and put into place, which further stimulates the enthusiasm of r&d participants. in the latest list of the world's top 500 companies, 73 chinese companies in the industrial sector made the cut, 28 more than in 2012. emerging industries have accelerated their growth and become an important force driving the upgrading of industrial structure and the competitiveness of manufacturing. some "specialized, refined, special and new" enterprises based on unique skills to make refined, strong and superior products, the global market share of the first square. the transformation of industrial innovation from quantitative accumulation to qualitative leap and from point breakthroughs to systematic capacity improvement has accelerated. manufacturing innovation has reached a new level, and more and more industries and areas have entered the "simultaneous" or even "front-runner" sectors.
new journey, new requirements. to implement the major task of "accelerating the building of a manufacturing country" set forth in the report to the 20th national congress of the cpc, the primary task is to promote the optimization and upgrading of industrial and supply chains. it is an important feature of a major economy that the industrial and supply chains should not fall apart at critical moments. forging long board for short board is the important task of the present, to consolidate the advantage industry leading position, should also be in relationship security development areas to speed up the completion of a short board, a good industrial base to be completed in the high-grade, modernization of the industrial chain, to further consolidate improve complete industry chain, industry system advantages, enhance the toughness and the ability to cope with external impact china's manufacturing industry.
innovation is the first driving force. the core of the manufacturing industry is innovation. we need to focus on technological innovation as a strategic basis, master more key and core technologies, and seize the commanding heights of industrial development. at present, in order to solve the problems of subjecting some key core technologies of our manufacturing industry to others, the structural contradiction between supply and demand of technology and promoting high-quality development, and the security of supply chain, the key is to adhere to scientific and technological self-reliance and seize the strategic opportunities of a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation. we will speed up the establishment of an industrial technology innovation system with enterprises as the main body, market orientation, and deep integration of industry, universities, research and application. we will carry out projects to tackle key and core technologies and products, strive to make breakthroughs in "bottleneck" technologies, and strive to achieve a series of landmark innovation achievements in key areas.
strong manufacturing makes the country strong. looking back, the achievements are remarkable and inspiring; looking forward to the future, a long way to go, inspiring. based on the existing advantages in scale, complementary advantages and first-mover advantages in some fields, and anchored to the strategic goal, made in china is strong, sturdy and sonorous, and will lay a solid foundation for the development of national rejuvenation and gather strength to move forward.
