"In media propaganda, it has been claimed that our country is the only fully-manufacturing economy among the 31 major categories, 179 medium categories and 613 minor categories of industry."
However, when broken down into more levels, the industrial categories number as many as three million, and even China still cannot supply all categories.
Moreover, many of China's manufacturing industries would be unable to be self-sufficient without the global supply chain, and if the global industrial chain were to leave China, there would be almost no products that China's supply could not replace.
Of course, this is not meant to belittle China. In the era of economic globalization, no country can be self-sufficient without the global supply chain.
This is just an example from our country to illustrate how significant it would be if Huawei could truly achieve the effects they advertise.
vietnam, india, bandesh, pakistan, egypt, ethiopia, turkey, mexico, mysia, philippines.
These countries are taking a share of the orders for textiles, footwear, electronics, and other light industrial products that have been shifting away from China.
China accounts for 60 to 90% of the global production share in textiles, apparel, footwear, personal computers, mobile phones, photovoltaics, and metals, and its overall industrial product supply accounts for 32% of the global total.
However, these major product categories have all entered the supply chain transfer process in the aforementioned dozen or so countries.
We still have a huge advantage in product integration across the supply chain.
However, the West's high-tech containment and high tariff barriers are all aimed at weakening our manufacturing advantages.
Manufacturing is the only way for China to escape the middle-income trap and avoid becoming weak before it becomes rich.
We need to protect or cherish our manufacturing industry.
Let's start with agriculture, which is easier for everyone to understand. In recent years, China has been very strong in the seed industry. China Seed Industry Group has almost occupied more than 50% of the global genetically modified market share.
Even so, when discussing agricultural powerhouses internationally, China is rarely mentioned.
America, Australia, France, Germany, Argentina, Russia, and others are considered agricultural powerhouses.
Of course, the Netherlands is actually the leading agricultural country, followed by America.
Because the standard for measurement is agricultural technology, including seeds, agricultural machinery, farming techniques, pesticides, fertilizers, and so on.
This includes not only overall costs and yield per unit area, but also long-term farmland sustainability technologies.
In these specific sectors, apart from seed industry and fertilizer industry, China's performance in other agricultural sub-sectors can be described as quite average.
China's grain output is no lower than that of large agricultural economies such as the United States and Europe.
However, the cost of food in China is almost always higher than in America, by about 40 percent, which is quite exaggerated.
At the same time, China's arable land suffers from high levels of salinization, compaction, pollution, heavy metal contamination, and desertification, as well as water and soil pollution and erosion.
Agriculture clearly demonstrates China's immense size and high costs.
China is in a similar situation in terms of industry.
Just as we compare supply, cost, and quality in agricultural products, we also compare supply and cost in industry, but we must also consider quality, R&D, technology, irreplaceability, brand, management, competitiveness, environment, labor income, and so on.
Once these factors are taken into account, readers will likely have a clearer answer when assessing China's manufacturing advantages.
That means we still have a long way to go.
China's machinery output value exceeds that of Germany, but it is concentrated in the low-to-mid-range market.
High-end machinery, machine tools, and the like are still dominated by German and Japanese products.
Samsung and Apple are moving their mobile phone production lines to Annam and India, and the electromechanical industry, which contributes significantly to China's foreign trade, is following in the footsteps of the textile industry and relocating overseas.
However, given the current level of industrial depth and cost, China's manufacturing industry still has certain advantages.
The supply chain shift is ongoing, and as industry insiders, we don't want it to become a thing of the past.
Before China's manufacturing industry can absorb the mid-to-high-end industrial chain, we cannot accept the low-end industrial chain leaving China.
Without low-end manufacturing, it is impossible to cultivate mid- to high-end manufacturing.
The contradiction now lies in the fact that we know the crux of the problem: the advantage of low labor costs is definitely no longer sustainable.
Huawei's integrated industrial internet solution can effectively solve this problem.
However, time is running out, and it will be very difficult to bring them back once the supply chain has shifted.
Huawei bears a heavy responsibility.
The combination of industrial VR and industrial intelligence can unleash productivity.
It used to take ten people, now it only takes one.
If capital is unwilling to pay ten people a raise, then surely they would be willing to pay one person twice the salary for doing the work of ten.
This not only increased productivity but also boosted workers' income.
As a veteran in the field of manufacturing supply chain management, I can clearly see the current trends.
Developed countries hope to bring back mid-to-high-end manufacturing through high-tech bans, tariff barriers, and global supply chain restructuring, and to replace human labor with robotic automation.
Huayi has the opportunity to take the lead over them and promote large-scale unmanned factories first.
Keeping the supply chain in China is not only an economic interest, but also a political one.
This will make it even more difficult for developed countries to decouple from China. Developed countries are not just America; we need to unite with other forces that can be united.
