News from our newspaper (Reporter Zhang Hang) The Chinese Academy of Engineering released the "2020 China Manufacturing Power Development Index Report" yesterday. The report shows that from the perspective of changes in the development index of manufacturing powers in various countries from 2012 to 2019, my country has become the country with the fastest overall improvement among the major manufacturing countries.

　　The "2020 China Manufacturing Power Development Index Report" is based on the evaluation index system of manufacturing powers, combined with the latest statistical data from authoritative institutions such as the World Bank and the World Trade Organization, and respectively calculates the United States, Germany, Japan, Britain, France, South Korea, India, Brazil and The 2019 Manufacturing Power Development Index of China's 9 major manufacturing countries.

　　The report shows that from the perspective of my country's various sub-indexes, "scale development" is still the main support force in the process of my country's manufacturing power. From the perspective of the core competitiveness of the manufacturing industry, my country has not yet entered the "second array of manufacturing powers", and the road to high-quality transformation and development has a long way to go. In addition, my country has become the only country in the world that has achieved continuous increase in the sub-items of "quality and benefit". However, due to the obvious absolute gap and small improvement, quality and benefit will remain the biggest weakness of my country's manufacturing industry for a long time. The report recommends that during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, my country must unswervingly build a manufacturing power and continue to promote the transformation from a manufacturing power to a manufacturing power.

　　The Chinese Academy of Engineering also released the "Green Paper on Technology Innovation in Key Fields of China's Manufacturing Industry-Technology Roadmap (2019)" yesterday. The "Technology Roadmap for Key Fields of Manufacturing" has been released on a rolling basis every two years since 2015. 72 academicians and more than 500 experts have conducted in-depth investigations on the development status of my country’s key industrial technology fields, closely followed the latest developments in global industrial technology, carefully sorted out the shortcomings in various fields, and focused on the technical needs of enterprises and the development goals and key points of technical innovation in various fields. Links, key materials, key equipment, etc. were carefully revised to form the 2019 version of the technical roadmap. According to the roadmap, it is estimated that by 2025, the five priority development directions of my country's communication equipment, advanced rail transit equipment, power transmission and transformation equipment, textile technology and equipment, and home appliance industry will be among the world's leading ranks and become the leader of technological innovation.

　　Expert interpretation

　　China's manufacturing power development index ranked fourth

　　The Chinese Academy of Engineering and other institutions released the "2020 China Manufacturing Power Development Index Report" on the 25th. According to the "Report", China's Manufacturing Power Development Index ranked fourth in 2019, which is the third group.

　　"The manufacturing power development index is composed of four sub-values: scale development, quality and efficiency, structural optimization, and sustainable development. It can comprehensively reflect the development level of a country’s manufacturing industry." The development index of powerful countries is progressing, and the gap with developed countries is narrowing."

　　Zhu Gaofeng, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, said that from 2012 to 2019, five countries including China, the United States, and Germany have shown a growth trend in the development index of manufacturing powers. China has experienced the most significant growth, with a growth value of 18.53 points. According to the "2020 China Manufacturing Power Development Index Report", in 2019, China, the United States, Germany, Japan and other 9 countries' manufacturing power development index rankings and their arrays have not changed compared with 2018. The U.S. manufacturing power development index continues to be higher than that of other countries, and it is in the first array with outstanding comprehensive advantages; Germany and Japan are firmly in the second array, with obvious relative advantages; China, South Korea, France, and the United Kingdom are in the third array, with China in the lead.

　　Shan Zhongde, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, introduced that in order to continue to promote the transformation from a large manufacturing country to a strong manufacturing country, it is necessary to maintain the basic stability of the manufacturing industry and continue to promote the effective accumulation of high-quality factor resources in the manufacturing industry.
