High end equipment manufacturing, at a large scale, symbolizes a country's core competitiveness, involving the country's economy and national defense security; at a small scale, it is related to the survival and development of many industries and enterprises. "Equipment manufacturing professionals such as Wang Jinfu, General Manager of Chery Heavy Industry Co., Ltd., said in an interview recently that in the past decade, China's machinery industry has developed rapidly, China has become a true equipment manufacturing country, but it is not yet a strong equipment manufacturing country. To achieve the dream of "becoming strong", it is necessary to improve independent innovation capabilities, accelerate the cultivation and promotion of the development of independent high-end equipment manufacturing industry.

Wang Jinfu said, "When evaluating whether a country's mechanical industry is strong, people tend to care about several aspects of performance - whether they have mastered the core technology of independent intellectual property rights, whether they have strong major equipment technology capabilities, whether they have a high proportion of high-end equipment, and whether the quality of their mainstream technology equipment varieties is in a leading position in the world. In fact, it depends on how the high-end equipment manufacturing industry develops

In recent years, driven by the country's strong efforts to stimulate domestic demand and multiple incentive policies, China's mechanical equipment manufacturing industry has achieved strong growth in scale. "Wang Jinfu said: However, the core competitiveness of China's independent brand manufacturing industry is generally not strong, with overcapacity and particularly fierce competition in the middle and low end. Many high-end sectors of industries are firmly controlled by foreign brands. At the same time, in terms of key components and core technology, foreign brands have long been 'stuck in the neck'

Wang Ruixiang, President of the China Machinery Industry Federation, believes that China has become a major equipment manufacturing country in the world, but it is an undeniable fact that it is "large but not strong". Especially due to the impact of the international financial crisis and the European debt crisis, China's equipment manufacturing industry is facing a severe situation of interception before and pursuit after. Especially in the field of high-end equipment, developed countries such as the United States and the European Union have begun to reclaim the production and processing of high-tech and high value-added equipment products from overseas to the domestic market, and have adopted many incentive policies, such as tax exemptions and subsidies, to encourage investors and manufacturers to return to the domestic market.

Wang Ruixiang said that the current harsh reality faced by China's equipment manufacturing industry is that advanced technology relies on imports and high-end products rely on imports. High end machine tools, high-end engines, high-end instruments and control systems need to be imported from abroad. Among them, 90% of high-end CNC machine tools are imported, 95% of CNC systems are imported, and 70% of instruments and meters are imported. In the field of basic components, 70% of the high-end functional components supporting high-end CNC machine tools need to be imported. All hydraulic components required for large construction machinery with a capacity of 30MPA or above are imported, and almost all gearboxes with a speed of over 200 kilometers per hour, wind power gearboxes with a capacity of over 2.5MW, large coal machine gearboxes, high-speed train brakes, and electric hydraulic drive devices for large shield tunneling machines are imported. Although China has established joint ventures and cooperative production with advanced foreign enterprises in the field of marine diesel engines, the key core technologies and brands are still in the hands of foreign enterprises, and China has not yet shaken off its "working style" processing and manufacturing position.

Wang Ruixiang emphasized that for China's equipment manufacturing industry, the most crucial aspect is
