The "Economic Information Daily" reporter was informed that the high-quality development of top-level design and series of heavy-duty policies will accelerate. We will focus on cultivating and developing advanced manufacturing industries, creating a group of world-class advanced manufacturing clusters, and newly constructing several national manufacturing innovation centers in key areas. In addition, social capital will be encouraged and supported to participate in the restructuring and restructuring of state-owned enterprises in the manufacturing sector, and to increase financing support for advanced manufacturing.

The Central Economic Work Conference clarified the seven key tasks of 2019 and promoted the high-quality development of manufacturing industry. The government work report proposes to promote the high-quality development of manufacturing, strengthen the industrial base and technological innovation capabilities, promote the integration of advanced manufacturing and modern service industries, and accelerate the construction of manufacturing power.

Miao Wei, Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, recently wrote in Qiushi that the manufacturing industry is the main body of the real economy. The high-quality development of the manufacturing industry is related to the overall development of high-quality economy and must be placed in a more prominent position.

The reporter learned from relevant departments that the top-level design of high-quality manufacturing development will accelerate. This year, we will develop a deployment plan that will vigorously promote the high-quality development of manufacturing. On the one hand, speed up the disposal of "zombie enterprises", formulate exit implementation methods, and focus on cultivating and developing advanced manufacturing clusters. In the deep integration of advanced manufacturing and modern service industries, guidance will be issued to deepen the integration of next-generation information technology and manufacturing.

“There is a structural imbalance between supply and demand in the manufacturing industry. Some industries have serious overcapacity. At the same time, a large number of key equipment, core technologies and high-end products still rely on imports.” Miao Wei pointed out that it is necessary to speed up the disposal of “zombie enterprises” and implement a new round of major technological transformation. Upgrade projects, vigorously cultivate and develop new industries such as new energy vehicles, new materials, artificial intelligence, and create a group of world-class advanced manufacturing clusters.

The place is already accelerating the layout. For example, Guangdong Province proposed to build a world-class manufacturing industry cluster in five aspects: electronic information, green petrochemicals, automobiles, smart home appliances, and robots. Shanghai proposed to build two world-class industrial clusters of automobiles and electronic information, and actively cultivate four world-class industrial clusters of civil aviation, biomedicine, high-end equipment and green chemicals. Anhui Province proposed to implement the international advanced manufacturing cluster cultivation project to build advanced manufacturing clusters with international influences such as integrated circuits, new displays, industrial robots, new energy vehicles, high-end equipment and smart home appliances.

"To promote the high-quality development of the manufacturing industry, innovation must be placed at the core of the overall development of the manufacturing industry." Miao Wei said. The reporter learned from relevant departments that this year, a number of national manufacturing innovation centers will be newly constructed in key areas.

Li Yiming, deputy director of the Institute of Electronics and Information Technology of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said in an interview with the Economic Information Daily that the construction of the National Manufacturing Innovation Center is mainly aimed at the core technology missing and weak major issues in the core infrastructure components. Key basic materials, advanced basic processes and other links encourage common technology research and development. The National Manufacturing Innovation Center took the lead in selecting key areas to overcome difficulties. From the established nine innovation centers, power battery, additive manufacturing, printing and flexible display, information optoelectronics, robotics, integrated circuits, smart sensors, digital design and manufacturing, advanced computing, and seven major areas with new generation information The technology industry is closely related.

Wang Yanwu, an associate professor at the Macroeconomic Research Center of Xiamen University, told the reporter of the Economic Information Daily that the National Manufacturing Innovation Center will also form a new pattern of collaborative innovation driven by enterprises and the participation of university research institutions. Innovations in common technology, cutting-edge technology, modern engineering technology, and disruptive technology will promote the transformation of scientific and technological achievements and foster new industries and new kinetic energy.

According to the arrangement, by 2025, China will form about 40 national manufacturing innovation centers. At the same time, matching a number of provincial and regional manufacturing innovation centers in suitable regions as the support and supplement of the national manufacturing innovation center. "The construction of this manufacturing innovation center network will create a manufacturing innovation system with China's manufacturing innovation center as the core node, and promote China's manufacturing industry to provide strong support for the high-end jump in the value chain." Wang Yanwu said.

Promoting high-quality development of manufacturing will also make a fuss about reform and opening up. Miao Wei said that it is necessary to strengthen the basic status of competition policy, deepen the reform of state-owned enterprises, and encourage and support social capital to participate in the restructuring and restructuring of state-owned enterprises in the manufacturing sector. We will fully implement the pre-entry national treatment plus negative list management system, implement the open policies of the ship, aircraft, automobile and other industries, and promote the high-quality development of the manufacturing industry with a high level of openness.

"The vast majority of manufacturing industries are mainly private enterprise investment. The high-quality development of manufacturing is inseparable from the participation of private capital and social capital." Wang Yanwu said that in order to effectively activate private investment, in addition to deepening the reform of "distribution service" In order to reduce the threshold for entry, it is also necessary to reduce the difference in the treatment of state-owned enterprises and private enterprises in financing policies, and to guide private investment in the advanced manufacturing sector with good growth prospects and improve the return on investment of enterprises.

According to the budget report, this year will play the role of “four or two adjustments” of financial funds, guide capital and resources to focus on key areas of strategy, support major short-board equipment and key service innovation service platforms, and promote innovation breakthroughs in key areas of strategy. The government work report proposes to support large commercial banks to replenish capital through multiple channels, enhance credit capacity, and encourage the increase of medium and long-term loans and credit loans in manufacturing.

Miao Wei revealed that the next step will be to reform and improve the financial support mechanism, improve the multi-level capital market, increase the proportion of direct financing, and play a synergistic role of policy finance, development finance and commercial finance, and increase financing support for advanced manufacturing. .

“High-quality development of manufacturing industry needs to determine the path of innovation, the formation of innovative products, and innovative institutional mechanisms, including the use of support funds, the assessment of corporate innovation investment, etc., all of which depend on new industrial policy guidance and support.” Li Yiming said.
