Olaf Scholz, the first mayor of Hamburg, Germany, made a statement at the press conference on his visit to China held recently. Scholz told a reporter from China Business News, "Germany and China have good cooperation in the industrial field, which can be seen from the w88 figures."

At the same time, "'Industry 4.0' is an important topic for our exchanges with China." Scholz said.

So, can the manufacturing industry between the two countries cooperate? How will w88 casino take place? How will both countries benefit from this? "China Business News" reporter also responded to this issueProfessor Shi Shiwei, Director of the European Center of the Institute of Regional and National Studies, w88 casinoConducted an exclusive interview with Associate Professor Yan Jin, Executive Deputy Director of the Center for European Studies at Renmin University of China.

"China Business News": What is the essential difference between "Made in China 2025" and "German Industry 4.0"?

Shi Shiwei: Although Germany’s “Industry 4.0” is still just a goal and has not yet been reached, Germany is moving from Industry 3.0 to 4.0. Although our country is currently close to 3.0 in some aspects, it is still working hard to move from 2.0 to 3.0 and transform from mechanization to automation。

Ke Muxian: We call the first industrial revolution the realization of mechanization, the second industrial revolution realized electrification, the third industrial revolution realized automation, and the fourth industrial revolution realizes informatization. For Germany, we are in the fourth industrial revolution. Since the two countries are at different stages of development, they start from different levels.

Germany’s “Industry 4.0” is not a completely mature concept, but one thing is clear: the realization of a new production model will change the way the economy operates. To put it simply, there are two elements, one is the Internet, and the other is traditional manufacturing and traditional manufacturing models. If you analyze the United States, it is relatively strong in the Internet field, while Germany and China have stronger traditional manufacturing levels. So what we have to do is to better develop the Internet and combine the two. If analyzed this way, the two countries have a common background and common starting conditions. We can strengthen w88 casino, which will benefit both parties.

"China Business News": In what way will the future w88 casino between China and Germany be carried out, and which party will take the lead?

Yan Jin: The approach must be to try to find common ground between China and Germany, such as points where Germany’s “Industry 4.0” plan and “Made in China 2025” can fit in. Germany's "Industry 4.0" is a stage of industrial development in Germany. It is a large-scale project jointly funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research and the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology. It is promoted by the German Academy of Engineering, Siemens and some academic institutions to form a national strategy. The government investment is very high, 200 million euros. This is consistent with "Made in China 2025".

In the "Sino-German w88 casino Action Plan: Co-Shaping Innovation" jointly released by the Chinese and German governments in October last year, how "Industry 4.0" and "Made in China 2025" strengthen w88 casino under the framework is reflected. There are four aspects in total, including that the two governments should provide policy support for enterprises to participate in this process; strengthening professional exchanges between business groups and industry associations of the two countries is conducive to deepening w88 casino; China and Germany will cooperate closely on standards issues and include the "Industry 4.0" topic in the Sino-German Standardization w88 casino Committee.

Shi Shiwei: Enterprises will be the main body of future w88 casino. The government may play the role of standard setter and help build platforms for w88 casino. w88 casino between enterprises may focus on intelligent manufacturing, informatization and other aspects.

At present, both parties have established an Industry 4.0 w88 casino forum, and both parties have leading units, which may provide some framework guidance suggestions and guidance standards. When specific problems arise during w88 casino, the w88 casino group may discuss the problems and provide corresponding solutions.

"China Business News": In the future, in which industries will specific w88 casino begin to achieve breakthroughs?

Shi Shiwei: In fact, the entire manufacturing industry will see a trend towards standardization and intelligence. But for now, it may start more from the equipment manufacturing industry, starting from the automotive industry and other industries related to mechatronics. When it comes to automation, the first thing that bears the brunt is mechatronics. w88 casino will also occur in the manufacturing of microsystems such as sensors and commanders.

Yan Jin: In the fields of computers and robotics, there is potential for w88 casino between the two parties. Germany has its own technological advantages in this field, such as industrial robots, intelligent manufacturing, high-end CNC machine tools, sensor IoT, automation, and digital factories. The above-mentioned areas are also some of the key areas for development in "Made in China 2025".

At the same time, electric vehicles, smart homes, high-efficiency smart energy control, sewage treatment, etc. may be priority areas of w88 casino between the two countries. These are both Germany’s strengths and key areas for “Made in China 2025”. In these aspects, the two sides still have common ground for w88 casino.

The two manufacturing plans of the two countries cover the direction of future economic development of the two countries. Basically, other development directions can be included in these two systems. It can be said that this summarizes the main scope of future w88 casino between China and Germany in the economic field.

"China Business News": What kind of experience and technology can China learn from Germany?

Yan Jin: Germany is still relatively advanced in technology. In terms of possible key areas of w88 casino, German technology is in a leading position in the world. At the same time, the manufacturing industries of both countries need to develop in the direction of intelligence. At the research and development level, there are many technologies that have yet to be developed, and Germany is very strong in this field.

The high-end technologies jointly developed by the two countries are definitely shared. Germany has an advantage in technology. Throughout the process, the R&D mechanism composed of Germany's R&D system, system, and funding system has reference significance for China. At the same time, the two countries can also learn from each other in terms of how they combine R&D and industry.

As a technologically leading manufacturing country, Germany definitely needs to rely on research institutions such as universities. Enterprises have close w88 casino with it, which not only ensures the funding of the research department, but also ensures the continuously updated application of technology in the corporate world. Germany has a long history in this regard, and there are still some experiences worth learning from.

Shi Shiwei: First, relevant standards should be formulated. As far as smart manufacturing is concerned, Germany has implemented it at the factory level. From a hardware perspective, Germany has reached a certain height. But when it comes to end-to-end and the entire industry chain, including production, services and consumer-facing, the overall data will be reflected in the Internet of Things. The resulting many interfaces require the development of standards that everyone agrees with. Finally, overall virtualization is achieved, and all links can use this network.

In addition, Germany is very strong in manufacturing. It uses its strong manufacturing industry to integrate its manufacturing industry through the tool of the Internet, but overall the software part is relatively weak. Moreover, Germany still has room for improvement in terms of cybersecurity. However, we can still use Germany's existing experience in related aspects to solve the current problems that may arise and need to be faced when intelligence and production appear in the same link. And Germany will also be interested in some of our software.

However, it should be noted that some of Germany's experiences have evolved through history and have a close relationship with its own system. Each country has its own comparative advantages, which will turn into competitive advantages. Therefore, there is more than one path to success. Germany's path may not be suitable for China. Although it can provide inspiration to China in some aspects, it must not be copied completely.
