    In 2015, the Chinese Academy of Engineering launched a major advisory project: Manufacturing Power Strategy II. This project conducted a systematic and in-depth analysis of the major obstacles affecting China’s position as a manufacturing power, presented relevant suggestions, and formed a research report. Based on a preliminary study of this project, this paper examines and discusses related issues involving manufacturing power indexes, China Manufacturing 2025 strategy, typical cases, and experts’ opinions, by means of data mining, case studies, and expert interviews. The results indicate the main factors that obstruct the construction of China’s manufacturing power, which include: the growth pattern of manufacturing in China| the unbalanced implementation of the five projects within China Manufacturing 2025 strategy| the similar focuses of different local governments on industrial development| and, finally, the risk of neglecting traditional industries. To solve these issues, these authors suggest promoting high-quality manufacturing and new technological transformation in order to accelerate the transformation of the economic growth pattern and the upgrading of traditional industries. They also suggest coordinating the implementation of the five projects with local industry policies in order to develop China’s manufacturing power strategy more efficiently.

    Since the promulgation of Made in China 2025, the central government and many provinces in China have launched numerous action plans and outlines regarding quality development. Meanwhile, they have declared that China is ready to implement the strategy of becoming a global power in manufacturing quality. The concepts of improving quality and brand have become common sense in China’s society. However, in order to achieve the strategic target of becoming a global power in manufacturing quality, two critical issues must be solved. First, how should the manufacturing industry adapt its quality and brand to the requirements of the “new normal” of China’s economy? And second, how should the manufacturing industry undertake the new mission of supply-side structural reform? These authors examine the new challenges confronting the quality and brand of China’s manufacturing industry, and propose action plans and policy suggestions for quality improvement and brand development in the manufacturing industry.

    Numerical Control (NC) technology is a key and generic enabling technology to promote the upgrading of mechanical products. Considering the barriers in technology and capital, among others that affect small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and that may lead to market failure and organization failure, there is a serious “Death Valley” phenomenon in the application of generic enabling technology. The working principle of the NC Generation Demonstration Project is to take demand as traction, innovation as driving power, and enterprise as the main body of technological innovation| and then to combine multivariate innovation between industry, universities, academic research, finance, and government, break through at key points, and successfully demonstrate NC generation projects. The NC Generation Demonstration Project applies NC technology to the mechanical products of a typical industry, essentially improving the product performance. In general, it speeds up the overall upgrading of mechanical products and promotes the transformation and upgrading of an enterprise toward sustainable development. In this way, the NC Generation Demonstration Project bridges the gap between generic enabling technology R&D and enterprises’ innovative production. This project has led to some remarkable accomplishments, and is a successful example of the application of generic enabling technology. The NC Generation Demonstration Project provides a helpful reference and establishes a solid foundation for the further implementation of the comprehensive popularization of NC technology in various industries and regions.

    Process manufacturing is an important pillar of China’s economic development, and its orderly and healthy development is of great significance to China’s economic and social development. However, the development of process manufacturing is constrained by its enormous consumption of resources and energy and its serious environmental impact. To reach a deeper understanding of the future development of process manufacturing, this study extends an analytical perspective from a single industry to all forms of process manufacturing. Based on the concepts of thermodynamics and entropy, this study analyzes the essence of process manufacturing. Three groups of key factors are used to build the analysis framework: flow and process| material, energy, and information| and scale and efficiency. A chemical engineering process and a phosphorus chemical process are then analyzed using this framework. The results show that the fundamental direction of the development of process manufacturing is to minimize the entropy increments of the whole system, rather than only those of the process system, while ignoring the entropy increments of the system of the external environment. In order to minimize the entropy increments of the whole system, it is necessary not only to pay attention to the economic benefits of the process system, but also to improve resource, energy, and environmental efficiency. To improve efficiency, the technology involved requires improvement, upgrading, and innovation. Improving and upgrading the technology can slightly improve the efficiency of a process system, while revolutionary innovation in the technology may greatly improve the efficiency.

    The manufacturing of basic parts and components in China is surging forward at a high level, and its industrial structure is currently in a key upgrading stage. This paper first defines the implication of industrial basic parts and components, and then describes in detail the current development situation of the basic components industry in China. Next, this paper puts forward ideas and suggestions to promote the development of the basic components industry in China, by examining the development experience of developed countries. These authors point out that the government must adhere to market competition in order to promote the optimization and upgrading of the basic components industry. By using innovation to stimulate the formulation of fiscal and tax policies, the government should create a social atmosphere of innovation and give full play to the support and leading role of technological innovation in the basic components industry. Due to the large number and wide range of basic components, the government should shift from a focus on specifics to a focus on general principles in order to promote the coordinated development of both basic components and the industry in general, thus combining key breakthroughs with overall advancement. In addition, because talent is the basis for innovation and industrial development, the government should have a primary focus on people, and should strengthen talent training and the introduction of talents into the basic components industry.
