Introduction: In the past 30 years, the world's industrial development has experienced an interesting process from "de-industrialization" to "re-industrialization". The important historical background for my country to become the world's largest manufacturing country is the de-industrialization of developed countries.

The obvious difference from the past two industrial revolutions is that in the third industrial revolution, my country, as the world's largest emerging economy, emerged as an active participant and promoter. Seizing the major opportunity of the new round of scientific and technological revolution and accelerating the transition from "Made in China" to "Intelligent Manufacturing in China", my country is expected to initially complete the upgrade from Industry 2.0 to Industry 3.0 by 2020 and lay an important foundation for Industry 4.0.

The revival and transformation of industrial civilization

In the past 30 years, the world's industrial development has experienced an interesting process from "de-industrialization" to "re-industrialization". The important historical background for my country to become the world's largest manufacturing country is the de-industrialization of developed countries. At present, it is very obvious that the main countries are trying to regain the advantages of manufacturing. Industry has once again become the focus of global attention, and a new round of global competition has begun. The Obama administration made it clear that in order to make the US economy "eternal", the manufacturing industry must be revitalized; Germany proposed an Industry 4.0 strategy; in 2013, the European Union clearly stated that Europe needs to be "reindustrialized" to revitalize the European economy and take industry into the European Union The proportion of GDP has increased from 15.6% to the overall target of 20% in 2020. When the return to industry has become the development consensus of major countries in the world, a new round of industrial revolution is gaining momentum, and the Industrial Internet is an important engine to promote the new round of industrial revolution. On the whole, my country's industrial system was established in accordance with the model of the Industry 2.0 era, and the unsustainable contradictions of the traditional industrial model have become increasingly prominent.

Through the previous background analysis, we know that the introduction of "Made in China 2025" is not unreasonable, nor is it a simple plan. It is understood that the overall idea of "Made in China 2025" is to promote the innovation and development of the manufacturing industry as the theme, to improve quality and efficiency as the center, to accelerate the integration of a new generation of information technology and manufacturing as the main line, and to promote intelligent manufacturing as the main direction. In order to meet the needs of major technical equipment for economic and social development and national defense construction, we will strengthen basic industrial capabilities, improve comprehensive integration levels, improve multi-level talent systems, promote industrial transformation and upgrading, and realize the historical leap of manufacturing from large to strong.

What are the similarities and differences between "Made in China 2025" and German Industry 4.0? Su Bo, former vice minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, gave an answer.

Similarities: The main feature of the new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation is the deep integration of information technology and manufacturing technology. Combining the data revolution based on the Internet of Things with energy, medical care, manufacturing, transportation, agriculture, media, etc., will produce new products, new business formats, new models and new technologies, and produce huge industrial influence. For example, the new generation of information technology such as mobile Internet, Internet of Things, cloud computing, big data, and robotics has penetrated into all aspects of economic and social development. The trend and core of this change is the digitalization, networking and intelligence of the manufacturing industry. At this point, "Made in China 2025" and German Industry 4.0 are both important strategic measures for the development of the manufacturing industry under the background of the new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation.

Differentiation: Made in Germany has a strong technical foundation, so it directly implements Industry 4.0, has advantages in the integration of industrialization and informatization, and promotes "Internet +" in various aspects, and its industrial technology is relatively good. With the simultaneous promotion of Industry 2.0, 3.0 and 4.0, China is realizing the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries. It also needs to achieve leapfrog development in the high-end field. The task is more complicated and arduous than Germany's realization of Industry 4.0.

Transformation from a large manufacturing country to a strong manufacturing country

The "Made in China 2025" plan aims to transform China from a large manufacturing country to a strong manufacturing country, with new areas as the main direction for future development, and to promote the transformation and upgrading of domestic industries and the improvement of economic efficiency. Manufacturing is an area with a relatively high degree of market in our country, an important pillar and foundation of the national economy, and it plays a very important role in the development of the national economy. It is the foundation of a country, a tool for rejuvenating a country, and a foundation for a strong country. China will set up a leading group for building a national manufacturing power, expand the influence of "Made in China 2025" at home and abroad, further form a broad consensus, form a joint force, and superimpose the dividends of reform, the potential of domestic demand, the vitality of innovation, and a higher level of open cooperation Get up and work together to promote the building of a manufacturing power.
