The rapid development of China's auto industry, with annual production of nearly 20 million vehicles, has become a veritable automobile power. Zhang Xiaojian, the executive vice president of the China Federation of Machinery Industry and the honorary chairman of the Automobile Engineering Society of the Automotive Engineering Society, Zhang Xiaoji, said that to complete the transformation from a big automobile country to a powerful automobile country, technological innovation is a symbolic indicator.

In general, China’s automobile industry is broadly divided into three phases: First, from scratch. Judging from modern times, from 1953 to 1978, it was a stage from scratch. At that time, the country’s car ownership was only around 50,000. To a point in 1978, China has been able to produce 150,000 cars. In the second phase, from 1979 to 2009, it took nearly 30 years for China to produce the world’s largest production from 150,000 vehicles and 14 million vehicles by 2009. Now our country is entering the third stage, a stage that has grown from big to strong.

Zhang Xiaoji believes that the development of China's auto industry is basically synchronized with that of China's national economy. It is synchronized at every five-year planning stage and is higher than the growth rate of GDP. China's economic and social development has driven the development of the automobile industry. From the perspective of promoting the automobile industry, there are two internal driving forces. One is reform, and the other is open. The factors restricting the development of the auto industry are energy, environment, and safety issues.

In terms of mechanism, the driving force for the continuous development of the auto industry is pressure, or a challenge, or a kind of resistance. If we overcome it well, it is a driving force for technological advancement in the automotive industry. Environmental issues, energy issues, and safety issues are the eternal topics facing the history of the world automotive industry for over 100 years. So, if you do well, turn this resistance and challenge into motivation and motivation. In 2000, China’s car output was only about a few percent of the world’s total. China’s auto output now accounts for a quarter of the world’s total. Therefore, to make China's auto industry a success, one-fourth of the world's auto industry will be well done, and China's auto industry will make even greater contribution to the world.

Zhang Xiaoxuan also stated that energy, environment, and security are the eternal themes of the development of the automotive industry and the issues that the Chinese auto industry must avoid in the next step of independent innovation. The only way out is self-innovation, not just institutional innovation but also reform and opening up. In terms of system, China has basically achieved the marketization and internationalization mechanism. However, from the perspective of the automotive industry, higher requirements will be put forward at different stages.

From an industrial big country to an industrial power, the landmark indicator is technological innovation. With this, it is possible for China to become a powerful country in the world industry.
