Independent Innovation is the Inevitable Choice for China to Become a Powerful Country of Automobiles


The "Proposal for Formulating the Eleventh Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development," passed by the Fifth Plenary Session of the 16th CPC Central Committee, not only depicts China's magnificent development prospects in the new century, but also proposes for all walks of life. Goal of progress. As the automobile industry of the pillar industry of the national economy, our goal is to strive to make China a big automobile country and a strong automobile country. To achieve this goal, one of our important tasks is to improve our capability for independent innovation. My speech this year will talk about my own understanding.

I. China's automobile industry, which has grown and expanded in independent innovation

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

In the 1950s, with the construction of the first automobile factory as a symbol, China’s self-reliance created the initial base point for the automotive industry; at the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee, it set the stage for economic construction, and put pressure on the auto industry. , Various key construction and preferential policies support, opened the prelude to the great development of the automobile industry;

The reform and opening up, joint ventures and cooperation have opened up the heavy imprisonment and fog encountered in the development of the auto industry, boldly moving toward the world, and radiating vitality and vigor 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. It has not only become a pillar of the national economy. Industry, and gradually becoming a national strategic industry; On the basis of introduction, digestion, absorption, and improvement, the industry’s technological level, management level, operating level, and talent status have made rapid progress, laying a preliminary foundation for independent development and independent innovation. And has begun to sum up the fruit of its own brand.

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

FAW Group has not only laid the foundation of 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 the brand strategy, and successfully established various forms of joint ventures to produce world-renowned brand products. They also spent huge sums of money to innovate and develop their own brands. In 2004 alone, the technological innovation cost reached 3.67 billion yuan. In the sales of millions of cars, more than half of its own brand products.

The birth of Dongfeng Group indicates that the strategic layout of the automobile industry is closely linked to the country's safety. For several generations of Dongfeng people, it was hard to establish an unstoppable automobile industry base and a team of autos who would never leave history. The overall joint venture and cooperation of Dongfeng Company has made significant breakthroughs in institutional innovation and has solved a series of historical problems. It has enabled the Dongfeng Brand to quickly enter the age 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 stereotyped habits of the auto industry, and open up new paths for rapid development. They have used the wisdom and sweat to create the first automotive industry cluster in China in just a few years time. Prototype.

A group of auto companies such as BAIC Group, CNHTC Group, Chery Group, Chang'an Group, and Geely Group also have their own characteristics, all of which make a rational value contribution to the development of China's auto industry. The development process of the auto industry is vivid and we continue to admire that this is a road of independent innovation that embodies the care of the party, the expectations of the people, and the hard work of all automakers. It is an independent development with distinctive Chinese characteristics. The basic characteristic of this path is that everything starts from reality, combines subjective requirements with objective conditions, integrates development and reform, and resolves technical progress and resolution of institutional conflicts. Combining independent innovation with opening up, we have resolved the adherence to the dominant position of public ownership and explored a variety of development models. We combined the development of the industry with the development of the market. Of course, there are certain deficiencies in the development process, mainly the transformation of growth. The method is not clear enough in terms of steps, there are no regional barriers to adjustments in the economic structure, and in particular there is not enough independent innovation in core technologies. All of these are problems that should be resolved during the “11th Five-Year Plan” period. There is now 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 clearly stated that “the enhancement of independent innovation capability is the strategic basis for the development of science and technology and the adjustment of the industrial outcome and transformation of the growth mode.” These clearly cover three important aspects, and the combination of these three aspects is The central document points out part of the innovative development model.

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 the mode of economic growth. We must improve the capacity for independent innovation. We must promote coordinated development of urban and rural areas. We must strengthen the building of a harmonious society and must continuously deepen reform and opening up. . These six "must" are the common tasks of the people throughout the country, and it is the auto industry that must fully implement its tasks. If the development of the automobile industry deviates from this aspect, 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 an in-depth and comprehensive manner. It must not only do a good job of independent technical innovation, but must also earnestly carry out system innovation, mechanism innovation, business philosophy and model innovation, management thinking and method innovation, To promote changes in adjustments and growth patterns, and then achieve the purpose of innovative development models.

Second, independent innovation must not only be full of patriotism and pride, but also have a scientific attitude of seeking truth

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, and it is not just improvement. Sometimes for innovation, it can begin with imitation, but imitation cannot be regarded 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. Now the world takes the country and the region as the form of existence, and thus autonomy not only relates to the economic category but also to the political category. Therefore, regardless of from which perspective, autonomy is indispensable.

Independent innovation focuses on innovation. You are independent; innovation is the content and essence, and 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-reliance.

It is seldom controversial to mention "innovation" or "independence" alone, but once "self-innovation" is combined, the controversy is quite a bit. The independent innovation that we have advocated this year has always been subject to interference from both the left and right sides, and it often affects the decision-making intention and the implementation of work tasks in various ways. Left interference mainly manifests itself in the "pan-politicalization" of scientific and technological issues, neglecting or defying the trend of economic globalization, emphasizing everything from scratch, emphasizing the so-called "completely independent intellectual property rights." In the process of setting standards or work programmes, left The interference is manifested in not emphasizing the principle of openness. On the surface, it is the maintenance of 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 recognize 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 the intensive processing industry. It is also good to be a “world processing factory”. It is not too late for other funds and talents to accumulate, and it is not too late to engage in independent innovation. Such interference can easily deceive people who are eager for immediate interests, especially those who are politically insensitive, so that they can remain content with the status quo. When I say these words, I don’t intend to tie the left or right hat to anyone’s head. However, some of us are determined to have some or all of these misunderstandings and tendencies. We should quickly contrast the spirit of the Fifth Plenary Session and correct our thinking and behavior. .

Adhering to the overall vision of economic and social development with the scientific concept of development is the most distinctive feature of the "Proposal" of this Fifth Plenary Session. Independent innovation is an important connotation of the scientific concept of development. 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 China’s various undertakings. It is the Party’s profound experience in summing up the lessons learned from China’s long-term economic development, and absorbing the progress of modern human civilization. Based on the results presented. 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.

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 also the same. Therefore, in the process of promoting independent innovation, in principle, it is unified. The specific method is the 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 have star companies such as Chery and Geely performed well, but leading backbone enterprises have also developed innovative technologies with strong technical advantages accumulated over many years. New products are eye-catching. It should be emphasized. The opposite of “independent innovation” is not “open innovation”. Independent innovation does not exclude openness and integration. Independent innovation does not encourage all to start from scratch. Integration technology is independent innovation, and introduction, digestion, absorption, and improvement are also important components of independent innovation. The State Council’s recent comments on the revitalization of the equipment manufacturing industry also emphasized the need to adhere to the correct policy 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. This material will be sent to everyone as an annex to this report. It is worthwhile for the automotive industry to study and learn from it.

The task of independent innovation in the automotive industry is very important. The road to development is very wide, and there are many kinds of feasible solutions. Each has its own merits. I am convinced that a beautiful scene of blossoming flowers will surely represent China's road to becoming an automobile power.

Third, the current auto industry independent technological innovation task

The Fifth Plenary Session put forward: In the “Eleventh Five-Year Plan” period, a group of advantageous enterprises with independent intellectual property rights and well-known brands and strong international competitiveness will be formed. This hard target is a very arduous task. It is a glorious and inescapable responsibility for the automotive community. We must go all out, organize meticulously, and strive for success.

In order to comprehensively enhance the ability of independent innovation in science and technology, we must start with efforts 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 overall industry. Level. 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 corresponding means to carry out creative, pioneering work, so as to obtain the required technology and products, independent development, that is, to develop their own, including self-definition products, put forward the overall concept And overall design, autonomously determine product development methods, lead the development of the design process, have decision power and decision-making in the work of cooperation (or commission) development, and have their own complete evaluation criteria and evaluation system, have the ability to develop products To evaluate, the property rights (including intellectual property rights) of the products developed belong to themselves.

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 adoption of basic elements, many of which will no longer be individual enterprises. Behavior will thus become an effective way to save development costs and time. However, no matter what “reification”, if the enterprise can not really master the core technology and occupy a dominant position in the research and development of core technologies, it will lose autonomy. This is our weakest link and the focus of our work in the future.

A brand is a name, a noun, a mark, a symbol, or a combination thereof. A brand represents the quality, social recognition, market share, and value orientation of a product or a series of products. It also represents the trust and image of a 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 relying on the country’s overall scientific and technological strength and industrial strength, it is impossible to take a place in international competition and achieve sustainable development. It should be said that independent development capabilities and proprietary intellectual property rights mainly cover the field of science and technology, while self-owned brands actually represent the comprehensive competitiveness of enterprises. Only when the enterprise's technology development capabilities, organizational management capabilities, cost control capabilities, marketing capabilities, service levels, and financing capabilities that affect the comprehensive competitiveness of the company's various elements have sufficient strength to establish the brand's visibility and influence.

Branding is the result of long-term competition with the market and cannot be achieved overnight. Our goal is not to have an independent brand, but to own a well-known brand, an internationally competitive brand, and a well-known brand that will 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, so as to increase consumer trust. To maintain the brand's long-term reputation, we must not only play low-priced brands, but must engage in inexpensive 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 these short-lived characters and brands less? 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, an application platform for new technologies and new products, and a stage for scientists and technicians to develop their talents and exercise themselves. 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 many important capabilities for nurturing famous Chinese brands. We must take all effective measures to make full use of all available resources and strive to achieve our goals. 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. Almost all the company's personnel are included. 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 the staff of the company to perform their duties and responsibilities. They should give full play to the intelligence and innovation of the masses and encourage technological innovation and innovation. 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 for independent innovation to take the enterprise as the main body, but only in the relatively perfect innovation system can it play its due main role. Without a system, the actions of individual scientific and technological personnel and individual enterprises cannot play a greater role. 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 institutions. The backbone and leading role play a full role in the university's foundation and 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 accelerated the construction of automotive computer platforms, which will greatly promote the automotive companies to further grasp the core technologies of the automotive industry, speed up the solution to the dominant combination of the two pillar industries of autos and information, and realize the autonomous design of next-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 scientific 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. Everyone is fighting 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 construction of the national innovation system and deepening reforms.
