Independent Innovation Promotes China's Automobile Industry from Great Power to Strong Power


Develop and grow in independent innovation

● Over 50 years of development, we have developed a path of development with Chinese characteristics and a road of independent innovation in line with China’s national conditions.

● There are two kinds of one-sided views. One is that independent innovation is limited to technological innovation, and the other is that the sole task of the auto industry after the Fifth Plenary Session is independent innovation. Both views are wrong and harmful.

● In fact, the development of China's auto industry is not just a technical problem.



Under the correct leadership of the Communist Party, the Chinese auto industry has grown from small to large and has now become a world leader in automobile production and sales. In 2004, both auto production and sales exceeded 5 million, and production and sales may reach the third place in the world this year. With more than 50 years of development, we have developed a path of development with Chinese characteristics and a road of independent innovation that conforms to China's national conditions.

In the 1950s and 1960s, with the construction of the first automobile factory as a symbol, China's self-reliance created the initial base point of the automobile industry;

The Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee set the chaos and established the economic development as the center. It gave pressure to the auto industry, opened the way, various key construction and preferential support policies, and opened the prelude to the great development of the auto industry.

The reform and opening up, joint ventures and cooperation have opened up the heavy imprisonment and fog encountered in the development of the automobile industry, boldly moving toward the world, and radiating vitality and vitality in the entire industry;

A series of policies based on the socialist market economy have broken various restrictions on the development of the industry, allowing productivity and consumer demand to erupt at the same time. The rapid expansion of the automobile industry has evolved into a more complete industry, increasingly led by the pillar industries of the national economy. National strategic industrial development;

On the basis of introduction, digestion, absorption, and improvement, the industry’s level of technology, management, operation, and talents are rapidly advancing. It has laid a preliminary foundation for independent development and independent innovation, and it has begun to produce a wealth of independent brands. fruit.






When it comes to the road of independent innovation in China's auto industry, we express our deep respect for the remarkable contributions made by several generations of automakers and employees of several key auto companies in different periods.

FAW Group has not only laid the foundation for the Chinese auto industry, but has also led the Chinese auto industry for more than 50 years. In the process of reform and opening up, they adhered to a multi-brand strategy. They not only successfully established joint ventures in various forms, produced world-renowned brand products, but also spent huge sums of money to innovate and develop their own brands. In 2004 alone, technological innovation expenses reached 3.67 billion yuan. In the sales of millions of cars, more than half of its own brand products.

The birth of Dongfeng Company indicates that the strategic layout of the automobile industry is closely linked to the safety of the country. For several generations of Dongfeng people, it was hard to establish a unstoppable automobile industry base and a team of automakers who would never leave their youth in the mountains. Dongfeng's overall joint venture cooperation has made significant achievements in institutional innovation, and has solved a series of historical sedimentation problems in a breakthrough manner. This has enabled the Dongfeng brand to rapidly enter the times queue and maintain its leading position.

SAIC Group is a boutique in reform and opening up. They seized the best time and the best entry point to quickly grow into a mainstream backbone enterprise. What is particularly valuable is that SAIC successfully explored a new path for cooperation and innovation in joint ventures, and it realistically solved a good approach to independent innovation under the conditions of joint ventures. SAIC Group took the lead in going abroad and made an important exploration for acquiring foreign auto companies and making full use of overseas resources.

GAC Group is a rising star in the automotive industry. They face up to the lessons of failures in the past, use the new ideas of reforms to get rid of many stereotypical bad habits in the auto industry, and open up new paths for rapid development. In just a few years, Guangzhou Auto Group, represented by GAC Group, took the lead in creating wisdom and sweat to create the first prototype of China's auto industry cluster.

Some auto companies such as BAIC Group, CNHTC Group, Chang'an Group, Hafei, Chery and Geely also have their own characteristics and have made historical contributions to the development of China's auto industry.

The road of independent development of China's auto industry is closely linked with the independent development of China's economy and society. The development process of the auto industry is vivid and we cannot help but admire that this is a road of independent innovation that embodies the care of the party, the aspirations of the people, and the hard work of all automakers. It is a road of independent development with distinctive Chinese characteristics.

The road of independent innovation of China's auto industry is unique in the world and has very rich and unique connotations. The basic feature of this road is that everything starts from reality, combines subjective requirements with objective conditions, combines development with reform, combines technological progress with the resolution of institutional conflicts, and integrates independent innovation with opening up. We must adhere to the dominant position of public ownership and explore a variety of development models to combine the development of the industry with the development of the market. It is this way that ensures the healthy growth of the automotive industry.

Of course, in the course of development, we also have certain deficiencies, mainly because the transformation of growth methods is not clear enough, and we have not broken through regional barriers in adjusting the economic structure. In particular, there is not enough effort in independent innovation of core technologies. We must work hard to solve problems during the "Eleventh Five-Year" period.

There is a one-sided view that equates the formulation of the Central Independent Innovation with the development of science and technology, and believes that independent innovation is limited to technological innovation, and even devalues ​​the achievements of the auto industry in these years. This view is wrong and harmful. The central document explicitly stated: "We should strengthen the capacity for independent innovation as a strategic basis for the development of science and technology, and adjust the industrial structure and change the central link of growth." This clearly covers three important aspects, and the combination of these three aspects It is part of the innovative development model pointed out by the Central Document.

There is also a one-sided formulation, that is, the only task of the auto industry after the Fifth Plenary Session is independent innovation. This is also wrong. The Fifth Plenary Session put forward: During the "11th Five-Year Plan" period, we must maintain stable and rapid economic development. We must speed up the transformation of economic growth mode. We must improve our ability for independent innovation. We must promote coordinated urban-rural development. We must strengthen the building of a harmonious society and we must continuously deepen reform and opening up. . These six "must-haves" are the common tasks of the people throughout the country and are the tasks that the auto industry must fully implement. If the development of the automobile industry deviates from this direction, the consequences will be unthinkable.

In fact, the development of China's auto industry is not just a technical problem left. To become a powerful automobile country, China must implement the spirit of the Fifth Plenary Session in a comprehensive and in-depth manner throughout the industry. In the work of independent innovation, we must not only do a good job of independent technological innovation, but also seriously carry out institutional innovation, mechanism innovation, business philosophy and model innovation, management thinking and method innovation, in order to promote economic restructuring and changes in growth patterns, and then achieve innovation The purpose of the development model.

path

Combining patriotism and scientific attitude

● Independent innovation, focusing on innovation, you are autonomous. We must be firm and cautious, adopt a scientific attitude, and come up with the best shortcut that suits our national conditions. We must fully integrate patriotic pride and scientific attitude.

● Individually mentioning "innovation" or "independence" is rarely controversial, but once "self-innovation" is combined, there are many disputes, and the independent innovations we advocate are often interfered by "left" and right sides. .

● However, no matter how “chemical” it is, if the company cannot really master the core technology and has a dominant position in the research and development of core technologies, it will lose autonomy.

What is innovation? In a general sense, innovation is the reform and promotion of the status quo; in terms of precise meaning, innovation should include a quantum leap from qualitative change to qualitative change. Innovation is the driving force behind the continuous advancement and development of human society and is the essence of Marxism, Mao Zedong Thought, and Deng Xiaoping Theory. Innovation is not imitation, not just improvement. Sometimes for innovation, you can start with imitation, but you cannot think of imitation as innovation.

What is autonomy? In a general sense, autonomy has the right to make decisions on certain things; on the deeper sense, autonomy is the correct grasp of objective laws, and the purpose is to serve a specific subject. The modern world regards countries and regions as the forms of existence. Therefore, autonomy is not only related to the economic category but also to the political category. Therefore, from whatever perspective, autonomy is indispensable.

Independent innovation, focusing on innovation, you are autonomous. Innovation is the content and essence, and it is the soul of the nation’s progress. Autonomy is the principle and spirit, and it is the guarantee for the country’s independence and self-improvement. The Chinese people who love the motherland have always been passionate about the country’s independence, autonomy, and development. All achievements in the new China have galvanized the patriotism of the people. Countless revolutionary martyrs and devotees have given their precious lives. If the country wants to be strong, it must adhere to the reform and innovation line. Reform and innovation are difficult. It is necessary to have risks and to pay the price. We must be firm and cautious, and adopt a scientific attitude to create a best shortcut that meets the national conditions. . We must fully integrate patriotism and scientific attitude.

Independent innovation is an important connotation of the scientific concept of development. Adhering to the scientific development concept to lead the overall economic and social development is the most distinctive feature of the "Suggestions" of this Fifth Plenary Session. The scientific concept of development is a concentrated expression of the world outlook and methodology of the Party Central Committee in guiding the development of all undertakings in China. It is based on the profound conclusions of our country’s long-standing experience in economic construction and the assumption of new achievements in human modern civilization.

We must do a good job in independent innovation. Leading cadres at all levels must find a gap in their world outlook and methodology in order to properly guide their work. Comrade Deng Xiaoping taught us that we must maintain a sober mind on major principles, policies, and other principled issues, so that we will not make big mistakes, and problems will be easily corrected and corrected. He said that right now there is something that affects us. There are also “left” things that affect us, but what’s deep-rooted is still the “left” thing. "Left" has the color of a revolution. It seems that the more "Left," the more revolutionary. China must be wary of the right, but it is mainly to prevent "left". The reform and opening up are described as the introduction and development of capitalism. The main dangers of peaceful evolution come from the economic field. These are the "leftists." Comrade Xiaoping’s teachings are still so gracious today, so there is important guiding significance in reality.

Individually mentioning "innovation" or "independence" is rarely controversial, but once "self-innovation" is combined, the controversy is quite a bit. Today, the independent innovation that we advocate is often interfered with from the “left” and right sides, and often affects the decision-making intention and the implementation of work tasks in various ways. The "left" interference mainly manifests itself in the "pan-politicization" of scientific and technological issues, ignoring or disregarding the trend of economic globalization, emphasizing everything from scratch, and emphasizing the so-called "completely independent intellectual property rights." In the process of formulating standards or work programs, the "leftist" interference is manifested in the principle of not emphasizing openness. On the surface, it is to safeguard national interests. In fact, it may be to protect the interests of small units and small groups. The reason why this kind of interference is not easy to identify is because it holds the banner of "patriotism" and can't move people to put on "unpatriotic" hats, and some seemingly passionate opinions are easy to appeal to the public.

Right interference mainly manifests itself in the fact that Western developed countries are not able to block and curb our country technologically and economically. We regard the serious struggle between containment and anti-containment between countries as purely commercial transactions; on the other hand, It is manifested in despising China's capacity for independent development and placing its hopes on the development of science and technology entirely in the introduction of technology. They believe that the cost of domestic development is much higher than that of foreign countries. Currently, the main focus is on processing-intensive industries. It is also good to be a "world-processing factory," and other funds and talents have accumulated. It is not too late for independent innovation. Such interference can easily deceive some people who are eager for immediate interests, especially those who are politically insensitive, so that they will not be satisfied with the status quo.

When I say these words, I have no intention of deducting the "left" or right hat from the head of the person, but to remind our comrades that there are indeed some people who have more or less erroneous understandings and tendencies of one kind or another. Quickly contrast the spirit of the Fifth Plenary Session and correct their own thinking and behavior.

Everyone is very concerned about the independent development and independent innovation of automotive products. Development, that is, the use of scientific and technical knowledge, skills and the corresponding means to carry out creative, pioneering work, so as to obtain the required technology and products. Self-developed, ie, development led by oneself, including self-defining products, general concept and overall design, self-determination of product development methods, development of the design process, and decision-making and decision-making in the work of cooperation (or commission) development Right, and it has a complete evaluation standard and evaluation system, and has the ability to evaluate the developed product. The property rights (including intellectual property rights) of the developed product are owned by others.

Obviously, the meaning of self-development and self-development is different. Independent development does not mean that all development work is done by the company itself, nor does it need to fully grasp every technical link involved in all parts and components, but it can be achieved in various forms. Experts analyzed that the future development of automotive products will present five major trends: outsourcing of research and development tasks, globalization of development work, expansion of joint development, virtualization of engineering design, and deferral of basic elements, many of which will no longer be individual The behavior of the company will thus become an effective way to save development costs and time. However, no matter how “chemical” it is, if companies cannot truly master the core technology and have a dominant position in the research and development of core technologies, they will lose autonomy. On this aspect, it is our weakest link and the focus of our work in the future.

China is a big country. The speed and mode of development in each region are very different. The history and status quo of auto manufacturing companies are different, and the market environment is not the same. Therefore, in the process of promoting independent innovation, the principle is unified, and the specific method and path There should be no consensus. Under the premise of comprehensively studying the requirements of independent innovation, we must establish their own innovation goals and arrangements in order to achieve practical results.

The main body of China's current car manufacturers is Sino-foreign joint ventures. This form of joint venture and cooperation stems from reform and opening up, in line with the trend of the world and the law of economic development. China has made full use of the opportunity of the transfer and reorganization of the world’s automobile industry. It quickly develops its own automobile industry in a timely manner, driving the overall level of automotive companies, especially the level of technology and management, and training a large number of outstanding corporate management talents and technical talents. The technical team has laid a good foundation for the sustainable development of China's auto industry and independent innovation in the new stage. On this basis, domestic domestic companies and joint ventures have begun the pace of independent innovation products. Not only do emerging companies such as Changan, Hafei, Chery, Geely have good performance, but also leading backbone enterprises have accumulated strong technical advantages over the years. Efforts to innovate and develop new products are remarkable.

It should be emphasized that the opposite of "independent innovation" is not "open innovation", independent innovation does not exclude openness and integration, and independent innovation does not encourage all to start from scratch. Original innovation is independent innovation, integration technology is independent innovation, introduction, digestion, absorption, improvement and then innovation are also an important part of independent innovation. The State Council recently stressed in several opinions on the revitalization of the equipment manufacturing industry that it must adhere to the principle of integrating technology and independent innovation. The China Society of Automotive Engineers organized a large number of experts and spent a year summarizing and analyzing several domestic product development and update models for domestic companies and joint ventures and cooperative enterprises in the automotive industry in China, and made scientific evaluations. Their strengths fully embody the creative abilities of auto companies.

The task of independent innovation in the automotive industry is very important. The road to development is also very wide. There are a variety of feasible solutions and each has its own merits. I am convinced that a beautiful scene of blooming flowers will surely be presented on the road to China's automobile power.

task

Create a batch of competitive companies

● During the “Eleventh Five-Year Plan” period, it is necessary to form a group of competitive enterprises with independent intellectual property rights and well-known brands and strong international competitiveness. This is an honorable and inescapable responsibility of the automotive community.

● In the cultivation of brands, we can not only play low-priced brands, but to engage in cheap brands.

● In a certain period of time and under certain conditions, brands need to be hype to increase their popularity. However, relying mainly on hype, they are unable to produce loyal customers. Therefore, they are unable to speculate on genuine brands.

The Fifth Plenary Session put forward: During the “11th Five-Year Plan” period, it is necessary to form a group of competitive enterprises with independent intellectual property rights and well-known brands and strong international competitiveness. This is a hard target. It is a very arduous task. It is an honourable and unshirkable responsibility of the automotive community. We must go all out, organize carefully, and strive for success.

In order to comprehensively enhance the ability of independent innovation in science and technology, we must start with an effort to grasp core technologies and key technologies, have independent intellectual property rights in this regard, and take effective measures to enhance the transformation of scientific and technological achievements, and form an independent brand as soon as possible to enhance the industry. The overall level.

A brand is a name, a noun, a mark, a symbol, or a combination of them. The brand represents the quality, social recognition, market share and value orientation of a product or a series of products, and also represents the trust and image of the company.

Independent development capabilities and independent intellectual property rights have a very important supporting role in nurturing independent brands. The influence of independent development capability, independent intellectual property rights and independent brands on the international competitiveness of China's auto industry is enormous, and it determines the depth of China's auto industry's participation in the international division of labor. In today's world automotive industry, there is no series of well-known companies and well-known brands that represent the overall level of the national automobile industry. Without the support of the country’s overall scientific and technological strength and industrial strength, it is impossible to take a place in international competition and realize sustainable development.

It should be said that independent development capabilities and proprietary intellectual property mainly cover the field of science and technology, while independent brands actually represent the overall competitiveness of the company. Only when the company's technological development capabilities, organizational management capabilities, cost control capabilities, marketing capabilities, service levels, and financing capabilities that affect the overall competitiveness of the company's various elements have sufficient strength to establish the brand's visibility and influence.

The cultivation of self-owned brands is crucial to the development of independent development capabilities. Independent brands can become an important carrier for independent innovation achievements, an application platform for new technologies and new products, a foundation for independent innovation, and also a talent for scientific and technical personnel and skilled workers. Exercise your own stage. Of course, in China, a large automobile country, many world-renowned brands that are produced in China and are co-innovated by the Chinese market demand are also a big stage for Chinese automakers. We can accumulate a lot of important capabilities for fostering China's brand-name products. . We must take all effective measures to make full use of all available resources and strive to achieve our goals.

Branding is the result of long-term competition with the market and cannot be achieved overnight. In the past, we often mixed brand and product concepts together. We did not regard operating brands as a particularly important task. In addition, we also rarely had our own core technologies and intellectual property rights and internationally competitive products. Well-known brands are seriously lacking. Of course, our goal is not to have a self-owned brand, but to own a well-known brand and a brand that is competitive internationally. Well-known brands must stand the test of time.

With the advancement of technology and changes in market demand, the products of well-known brands must continuously introduce new products, improve quality, reduce costs, and optimize services. Only in this way can consumers' trust be enhanced and the brand's long-term reputation maintained. We can't just play low-priced cards, but we must build cheap and good brands. If we can't get rid of the low value-added status, we won't have a sufficiently competitive brand. In a certain period of time and under certain conditions, brands also need to hype to increase their popularity, but they rely mainly on hype for not being able to produce loyal customers. Therefore, they are unable to speculate on genuine brands. Are the people and brands that are short-lived in the past few years still rare?

Product development is mainly in the field of design and research. The technological innovation in the automotive industry also includes innovations in manufacturing processes, equipment, and materials. It involves many departments in many systems such as machinery, chemicals, electronics, metallurgy, light industry, and textiles. . Brand innovation involves more departments and includes almost all of the company's personnel. Therefore, independent innovation and brand cultivation cannot rely on only a small number of people. Instead, they must mobilize and rely on the participation of all staff of the company to perform their duties and responsibilities. They should display their intelligence and innovation, and encourage technological innovation and invention. create.

The Central Government clearly pointed out that a technological innovation system that combines enterprises as the main body and market-oriented production, research, and research will be established to form the basic institutional framework for independent innovation. It is very correct that independent innovation takes the enterprise as the main body, but the enterprise can play its due main role only in the relatively perfect innovation system. Without a system, it is impossible to rely on the actions of individual scientific and technological personnel and individual enterprises to achieve greater results. Comrade Hu Jintao pointed out during the inspection of the Academy of Sciences that, in the construction of the national innovation system, we must give full play to the leading role of the government, give full play to the basic role of the market in resource allocation, give full play to the main role of the enterprise in technological innovation, and give full play to the national scientific research. The backbone and leading role of the organization give full play to the foundation of the university and the vital force. This instruction accurately outlined the structure of the technological innovation system.

Now, the relevant state departments have started to construct the national innovation system at the national level, focusing on solving the structural and mechanistic issues that affect the overall development, and taking major actions on certain key issues. For example, the country has speeded up the construction of automotive computer platforms, will promote the automotive companies to further grasp the core technologies of the automotive industry, accelerate the solution of the dominant combination of the two pillar industries of the automobile and information, and realize the autonomous design of new generation automobiles.

In this regard, there are two issues worth noting. First, companies generally feel that the establishment of an independent innovation system, top up, take the lead; give pressure to the company, government departments are very easy; slogans are much more shouting, less action; more requirements, less investment. Second, we feel that current scientific research institutes, universities, and enterprises are dislocations on the innovation chain, and they are excessively cross-cutting. According to the central government's rational division of work on innovation systems, national research institutes and universities should focus on core technologies and common key technologies, while enterprises should focus on new technology applications and new product development, and make breakthroughs in manufacturing technology. Should everyone fight for "market". Of course, this is also related to the corporate restructuring of some national scientific research institutes in the previous period, which caused drift of goals and misalignment. I believe that these problems will be solved in the national innovation system and deepening reforms.
