Beijing, Sept. 13 (Xinhua) -- How to make up for the lack of 'core' in cars, how to 'keep the chain' in the industry, and how to speed up 5G development? -- Official of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology responded to hot topics
How to resolve the problem of China's weak industrial foundation? How to improve the level and competitiveness of the industrial and supply chains? How to deal with global automotive chip shortage in China? Next, how to speed up 5G development? In a press conference held by the Information Office of The State Council on January 13, relevant officials of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology responded to hot topics of public concern one by one.
The weak industrial foundation will be further addressed
The security and stability of industrial and supply chains is an important foundation for building a new development pattern. It is of vital importance to ensure that key sectors and industries do not lose their links at critical times.
Xiao Yaqing, minister of industry and Information Technology, said the government should focus on self-reliance and self-reliance, and lay down the hard battle of upgrading the industrial base and modernizing the industrial chain.
Ministry of Industry and Information Technology chief engineer Tian Yulong said at the meeting, to focus on the 'point' breakthrough, and strive to achieve a number of important landmark basic products and technology to achieve engineering industrialization breakthrough; To strengthen the resilience of the 'line', we should not only transform and upgrade traditional industrial chains, but also build emerging industrial chains. Focus on accelerating the upgrading of 'aspects', seize the opportunity of digital development and green and low-carbon transformation of manufacturing industry; Focus on cultivating 'system' advantages, focusing on the implementation of industrial chain and supply chain ecological construction projects.
Ministry of clear, continue to the national and provincial manufacturing innovation center layout construction, implement key core technology research project, strive to break through 'their' technical bottlenecks, stress the core foundation based software, key parts and components, key base material, advanced technology, such as work, strive to make a further solution to the problem of weak industrial foundation.
At the same time, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will coordinate the 'strengthening of weak links and forging of long links', carry out the action of strengthening and reinforcing the chain of the industrial chain, do a good job in the strategic design and precise measures of the industrial chain and supply chain by industry, and continuously improve the stability and resilience of the industrial chain and supply chain.
Enhance the supply capacity of automobile chip
Since the second half of 2020, the global IC manufacturing capacity continues to be tight, and the 'lack of core' of automobiles has become a problem in front of global automobile manufacturers.
Tian yulong said that the continuous global epidemic has caused chip manufacturers to slow down their capacity expansion plans, and the repeated epidemic has forced some countries and regions to shut down chip production lines, resulting in the interruption of the supply of certain types of chips, which is the main reason why many industries around the world are facing the problem of 'core shortage'.
He said the ministry has set up a working group for the promotion and application of automotive semiconductors to strengthen the synergy between supply and demand and enhance the supply capacity of automotive chips. At the same time, on the premise of ensuring safety, the approval procedure is simplified to promote the application of alternative chips as soon as possible.
'At present, the problem has been alleviated to some extent, but the global IC supply chain stability still faces severe challenges.' Tian said the ministry will strengthen coordination, strengthen the precise docking of supply chains, and promote the improvement of chip supply capacity.
This includes actively supporting chip manufacturing enterprises to accelerate the improvement of supply capacity and accelerate the use of alternative solutions; Accelerate the construction of infrastructure for charging and replacing electricity, continue to carry out activities to send new energy vehicles to rural areas, and accelerate the development process of the intelligent and connected automobile industry. China will strengthen open cooperation with other countries in technological innovation and international trade, and jointly maintain the stability and smooth flow of the automotive supply chain.
New infrastructure construction has been accelerated, and nearly 420 million 5G terminals have been connected
China has built 1,037,000 5G base stations, covering all prefecture-level cities and more than 95 percent of county towns, according to data released at the conference. By the end of August 2021, nearly 420 million 5G terminals had been connected.
The 5G industry has accelerated development, and Chinese enterprises have claimed leading advantages in the number of necessary PATENTS for 5G standards, shipments of 5G system equipment of domestic brands, and chip design capabilities. Penetration of 5G mobile phone products accelerated, with 168 million 5G mobile phones shipped in China from January to August this year, up 80 percent year-on-year.
Zhao Zhiguo, director of the Information and Communications Administration bureau of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT), said the acceleration of new infrastructure, represented by 5G, has promoted digital industrialization and industrial digitization, and new forms and models have emerged, injecting strong impetus into high-quality development of the manufacturing industry.
'We will continue to advance the development of 5G networks in an appropriate way, and accelerate the expansion of the network to towns and townships.' He said the network coverage of transport hubs, business centers and other key areas will be accelerated. Another batch of 5G integrated and innovative applications will be developed for new information consumption, real economy, and people's livelihood services. At the same time, it will promote the r&d and industrialization of 5G chips, modules and terminals for industrial applications, and promote the innovative development of 5G.
Focus on remediation of the problem of shielding url links
In recent years, China's platform economy has developed rapidly, playing an important role in promoting economic and social development, but there are also some problems such as non-standard development of platform enterprises.
The ministry launched a six-month campaign in July to disrupt market order, infringe on users' rights and interests, threaten data security, and violate regulations on resource and qualification management, zhao said. Shielding website links is one of the key problems of this special action.
'Restricting the identification, parsing and normal access of web links without justified reasons affects user experience, harms users' rights and interests and disrupts the order of competition,' Mr. Zhao said. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is guiding relevant Internet enterprises to carry out self-inspection and rectification in accordance with the special rectification action plan of the Internet industry. At the same time, enterprises are also required to be able to according to the rectification requirements, pragmatic promotion of instant messaging shielding website links and other different types of problems to be solved step by step, stage by stage. In the next step, miIT will focus on key issues, strengthen administrative guidance, strengthen supervision and inspection, and strengthen legal handling.
