When attending the deliberations of the Jiangsu delegation, General Secretary Hu Jintao emphasized that the manufacturing industry should accelerate its rise to the high end. The level of manufacturing is a manifestation of the level of a country’s productivity. Under the complex and ever-changing circumstances at home and abroad, China, which is already a big manufacturing country in the world, has great significance in how to reshape its advantages and create greater glories.

Over the past 30 years of reform and opening up, a very important sign of China’s economic integration with the world is that “Made in China” is spread all over the world. With the comparative advantages of labor force and resources, China has become the target area for the transfer of capital and production links in the world's labor-intensive industries, and it has further formed the industrial chain and industrial base.

The outbreak and further development of the international financial crisis have brought about changes in the global manufacturing competitiveness and some new trends have emerged. First, high-tech export countries such as Europe, the United States, Japan and other countries pay more attention to the development of high-end manufacturing, and further seize the high ground of the industry. Second, Mexico, Vietnam, and other countries and regions have undertaken the transfer of a large number of labor-intensive industries at a relatively low cost. Third, the increase in the cost of raw materials and labor costs in Chinese enterprises, coupled with the impact of the appreciation of the renminbi, the traditional advantages have declined. Fourth, the rise of international trade protectionism, "Made in China" has repeatedly been anti-dumping; Fifth, with the weakness of the world market, China's relatively strong economic growth has become an international giant competition market, in the domestic market, "Made in China" competition pressure. At the same time, from a domestic point of view, the carrying capacity of resources and environment is getting smaller and smaller, and the task of transformation and upgrading of “Made in China” is even more urgent and arduous.

Accelerating the climb to the high end and achieving a leap from "Made in China" to "Created in China" is both important and urgent. At the two sessions, representatives of the committee members have made suggestions for accelerating the rise of the manufacturing industry to the high end.

“The past year has been a very difficult year for many manufacturing companies. We have been unwavering in the development of the main business, brand value orientation and technological innovation. We have achieved good results in responding to the crisis.” Zhejiang Zhengtai Group Co., Ltd. The company's Nan Cunhui representatives have personal experience. Deputy Chen Lifen of Jiangsu Sunshine Group Co., Ltd. stated that it is urgent to build its own brand, rely on the market to cultivate the brand, use quality to maintain the brand, and use technology to enhance the brand.

The enterprise is the main body of innovation, but the development of the enterprise also needs a good policy environment. This requires the government to play the role of “visible hand” and pay attention to institutional construction and atmosphere construction. The government work report also clearly stated that it is necessary to support the development of the real economy such as manufacturing.

There are endogenous motives for the company's ambition and there are strong external factors to promote the policy. "Made in China" is a breeze. As Jack Welch, former chairman of General Electric of the United States, commented, “In the context of globalization, 'Made in China' needs to work hard on quality and brand. I believe that Chinese manufacturing will present a world-class brand in the future.”
