Sang Baichuan: Build a “quality” trading power
(Source: "People’s Daily》Date:2014Year3month18日)
Whether an enterprise can create a new type of international competitiveness in China depends crucially on whether it can cultivate product quality advantages with technology, brand, and service as its core, and build a country on quality.
According to the latest annual foreign w88 data released by the General Administration of Customs,2013my country’s total import and export volume exceeded 10%4Trillion dollar mark, but7.6%'s growth rate is still in single digits. Estimated20149987_10004
In the early days of reform and opening up, the extraordinary growth of foreign w88 became an important driving force for economic growth. Nowadays, in the face of the slowdown in growth and the weakening of traditional advantages, how to achieve sustained and stable development of foreign w88 and transform from a "big trading country" to a "powerful trading country"?
The answer lies in cultivating new competitive advantages in foreign w88. This new advantage is a systemic advantage centered on improving the quality of production factors in an all-round way, based on improving product quality, relying on technological innovation, and guaranteed by institutional reform and policy optimization, focusing on improving foreign w88 efficiency.
Subject to resource constraints, low-cost factor inputs and quantity expansion make it increasingly difficult to maintain competitiveness in international w88. To cultivate new competitive advantages, we must improve the quality of all factors, including labor, capital, land, environment, energy, water resources, etc. The most important thing is to provide a stable supply of highly efficient skilled labor force and evolve from a country with a large population to a country with a strong human resources. What is gratifying is that many companies in the Pearl River Delta and Yangtze River Delta regions have made employee skills training and quality improvement a routine task.
In the new round of economic globalization, all countries are seeking to adjust their economic structures. Homogeneous products can easily be replaced by other countries. As a result, international w88 competition has gradually shifted from price competition and scale competition to quality competition. Whether Chinese enterprises can acquire new international competitiveness depends crucially on whether they can cultivate product quality advantages with technology, brand, and service as the core. The core of quality is to build product brands, improve product quality and performance, and change the image of cheap and low-quality products; continuous technological research and development innovation is the key to building the brand; good service is the main means of brand maintenance.
The transformation from a "big trading country" to a "powerful trading country" means that processing w88 will gradually move from the processing and assembly link to the high end of the value chain of pre-production R&D and post-production marketing. Technological innovation is the key to upgrading the value chain. First, we must track the trend of the third industrial revolution, increase the country’s investment in basic research on new technologies, promote the transformation and upgrading of traditional manufacturing, and ease the increasingly tight factor constraints of the manufacturing industry. Secondly, in deepening opening up to the outside world, we should strengthen economic and technological cooperation and exchanges with developed countries and emerging market countries, and encourage Sino-foreign joint research and development of new technologies. Thirdly, increase the protection of intellectual property rights, eliminate institutional bottlenecks in enterprise innovation, encourage enterprises to invest in technology research and development, form a cultivation mechanism for innovative talents, and promote the upgrading of technological structure in an all-round way.
In the final analysis, we should focus on cultivating new competitive advantages with product quality, technology, service and brand as the core through w88 policies; continue to open up new markets for our country’s product exports through bilateral and regional w88 agreements; use strategic w88 policies to bring into play the profit transfer effect, import protection and export promotion effects to enhance export competitiveness; moderately relax market access and introduce competition to encourage domestic enterprises to continuously improve their own management capabilities. Only in this way can we achieve the goal of "building a country on quality" and move towards the goal of "building a strong country through w88".
