Member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, Secretary of the Party Committee and Rotating Chairman of Sany Group, and Chairman of Sany Heavy Industry, Xiang Wenbo Talks about Going Global: The Prospect of the Third Party Market is Wide
Member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, Secretary of the Party Committee and Rotating Chairman of Sany Group, and Chairman of Sany Heavy Industry, Xiang Wenbo
Xiang Wenbo: "I strongly support going global, and the fundamental reason is that China's high-end manufacturing industry has global competitiveness. In recent years, the overseas revenue of Chinese construction machinery enterprises has continued to grow rapidly. Against the backdrop of unprecedented global changes, the Chinese government and enterprises have begun to turn their attention to third-party markets, mainly the vast southern markets, especially some emerging markets. I believe that the third-party market has very broad development prospects
Xiang Wenbo: AI will change our lives, our industries, and even enter all aspects of social management. It is disruptive, so it has a dual meaning: first, AI is a technology; Secondly, there is also a huge industry behind AI. From a business perspective, we are driving the digital transformation of enterprises and also promoting the application of AI. Now our company requires all positions and departments to have their own AI operation plans internally. In terms of digital transformation at Sany, we mainly focused on three aspects in the past: intelligent manufacturing, intelligent operation, and intelligent products. I think the arrival of the AI era is a huge opportunity, but also a huge challenge: either turn the tide or capsize. Either you make up your mind to drive the digital transformation of your enterprise and drive the AI revolution, you may become a trendsetter of the times; If you don't seize this opportunity, you may be eliminated by the times.

Yang Huayong, member of the CPPCC National Committee, academician of the CAE Member, director of the Engineering Department of Zhejiang University
As an expert in fluid transmission and control, Yang Huayong, a member of the Standing Committee, has been deeply involved in the manufacturing field for many years, actively promoting the development of new quality productivity, and paying special attention to pilot problems in the process from innovative research and development to mass production. He found in the research and transformation process of manufacturing related technologies that the pilot stage of new product development is weak, which has become a bottleneck restricting the upgrading of China's manufacturing industry. Yang Huayong, a member of the Standing Committee, called on manufacturing enterprises to open up the real scenarios of research and development and manufacturing to universities and other scientific research institutions, especially leading enterprises and scientific research institutions to cooperate in building pilot platforms and break through the "death valley" of scientific and technological achievements transformation. As a representative attending the conference, Standing Committee member Yang Huayong suggested, "We hope to strengthen the construction of the pilot base platform, so that the achievements and innovations of universities can be more transformed into mass production technologies and products of enterprises
Han Xiaojun, deputy to the National People's Congress, secretary of the Party Committee and chairman of SINOMACH Heavy Industries: increase the promotion of domestic key parts to improve the safety of the supply chain
Han Xiaojun, Deputy to the National People's Congress, Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of SINOMACH Heavy Industries
Han Xiaojun, deputy to the National People's Congress (NPC), secretary of the Party Committee and chairman of the National Machinery Industry Corporation (SIPC) Heavy Equipment Co., Ltd. (SIPC) at this year's NPC and CPPCC sessions, actively made contributions and suggestions on the promotion and application of localized basic key components and instruments and meters for industrial machines, and on building a national training base for highly skilled talents. Han Xiaojun stated that in the process of promoting new industrialization, China has successfully developed a large number of domestically produced key components for high-end equipment, but the market promotion and application of some products still need to be strengthened, and the awareness of domestic substitution is not strong in some fields. Han Xiaojun proposed that in the planning and design stage of national major projects, enterprises should give priority to selecting products that have been selected in the national and provincial "First (Set) Major Technical Equipment Promotion and Application Guidance Catalogue". At the same time, allowing host manufacturers to make independent choices based on market factors such as global supply capacity, price, and delivery time, creating a fair competitive environment for domestic enterprises. In terms of research and application, Han Xiaojun proposed that relevant departments encourage state-owned enterprises to actively try and apply their first (set) products. At the same time, for state-owned enterprises that successfully develop and actively adopt their first (set) product, bonus points will be given in the performance evaluation index system. Han Xiaojun also expressed his concern for the cultivation of high skilled talents.
Han Xiaojun believes that the high skilled talents required for the manufacturing industry of major technical equipment have the characteristics of "customization, high-end, and specialization", and their growth and development need to be closely integrated with the actual production of the enterprise, with a long training cycle and great difficulty. Currently, vocational colleges or socialized skill training institutions generally have weak targeting and low applicability in the cultivation of high skilled talents in the field of major technical equipment. The training of high skilled talents in the field of national major technical equipment manufacturing needs to be mainly carried out by leading enterprises in major technical equipment.
Shan Zenghai, NPC deputy and chief engineer of XCMG: promoting green and intelligent construction machinery industry
Shan Zenghai, NPC deputy and chief engineer of XCMG
Shan Zenghai said that as a "production tool", construction machinery is more concerned about cost and return for users, while the initial purchase cost of new energy equipment is high and the applicable scenarios are limited. In the current situation where the penetration rate of new energy passenger vehicles continues to increase, construction machinery products that operate continuously and have discrete operating areas are facing challenges such as high cost of pure electric vehicles, insufficient range, and insufficient power to fully meet usage needs.
As a supplement to pure electricity and fuel, range extender technology has the advantage of improving energy efficiency, reducing emissions, and lowering costs. With increasingly strict environmental policies, range extender technology has broad development space. "Shan Zenghai proposed that relevant policies can be introduced to support the replacement of traditional power products with range extender hybrid engineering machinery and agricultural machinery. For example, promoting the implementation of large-scale equipment updates and the policy of exchanging old for new consumer goods in order to expand the scope, and including extended range hybrid engineering machinery and agricultural machinery in the promotion and subsidy catalog.
In terms of technological breakthroughs, Shan Zenghai said that developing specialized range extenders suitable for engineering and agricultural machinery is extremely challenging, especially in highly integrated specialized engines, motors, and electronic controls. Technical problems such as spatial layout, power output, precise control, and electromagnetic interference still need to be overcome. He suggested supporting leading enterprises in the industry to take the lead in forming joint innovation bodies, gathering resources from scientific research institutions, universities, and upstream and downstream enterprises in the industrial chain, accelerating the tackling of technical difficulties in the extended range system and components of engineering and agricultural machinery, and promoting the green transformation and development of the industry.
Shan Zenghai suggests that the national level can regulate and improve the order of the second-hand engineering machinery car market, and increase policy support for second-hand engineering machinery cars. At the same time, we will support the export of used engineering machinery vehicles and enhance the international operation capability and influence of Chinese brand used cars.

Zeng Yuqun, member of the 14th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and Chairman of Ningde Times
At this year's Two Sessions, Zeng Yuqun, a member of the 14th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and chairman of Ningde Times, put forward suggestions on the market-oriented application of new energy storage.
Zeng Yuqun believes that new energy storage is a key technology and basic equipment supporting China's new power system, as well as a strategic new field for international energy competition. Compared to foreign countries, the market participation mechanism for energy storage in China is not yet perfect, and energy storage power stations face problems such as limited usage, low utilization, and long return cycles, making it difficult to fully realize the value of energy storage.
At the level of participation mechanism in the new energy storage market, Zeng Yuqun suggested improving the market participation mechanism for energy storage, mainly including electricity pricing mechanism, cost diversion mechanism, and capacity compensation mechanism. In terms of the new energy storage security guarantee mechanism, Zeng Yuqun suggested that the country should establish a new energy storage security guarantee mechanism as soon as possible. It is suggested to learn from the regular maintenance mechanism of the power industry and establish a regular safety inspection system applicable to new energy storage.

Wang Dujuan, deputy to the National People's Congress, chief engineer of China Railway Industry, deputy general manager and chief expert of China Railway Equipment
Wang Dujuan suggested that, on the one hand, we should accelerate the formulation of detailed rules and policies for the implementation of the Vocational Education Law of the People's Republic of China at the national and provincial levels, clarify the rights and responsibilities of enterprises to participate in vocational education, implement incentive policies, incorporate the construction of industrial workers into the corporate social responsibility evaluation system, and provide support such as tax reduction and land priority to enterprises that deeply participate in the integration of industry and education.
On the other hand, establish a vocational education joint conference system led by the State Council, and incorporate the development of vocational education into the performance evaluation index system of local governments. The "China Craftsman Day" was established to increase the proportion of industrial workers in the selection of model worker and May Day Labor Medals, and expand media publicity on the deeds of outstanding workers. Add "vocational enlightenment courses" in primary and secondary education, and organize students to practice in factories and workshops. Promote the spirit of craftsmanship through film and television works and documentaries, and reverse the social concept of "emphasizing education over skills".
Thirdly, establish a nationwide "industrial worker database" to achieve cross regional and cross industry mutual recognition of skill certification. Provide job transfer training and new employment support for industries undergoing capacity adjustment. Develop personalized learning systems using technologies such as artificial intelligence and big data, dynamically analyze industry talent needs, and accurately push job information.
Fourthly, promote the "education factory" model and build 100 national level demonstration bases for industry education integration in key industrial parks. Encourage enterprise engineers and high skilled talents to work part-time as teachers in vocational colleges, and vocational college teachers to regularly intern in enterprises to achieve the sharing of technical experience and teaching resources. Develop standardized courses for emerging fields such as intelligent manufacturing and green energy, and promote an integrated training model of "online+offline".

This time, Zhou Yingfeng focuses on the cultivation of skilled talents, the integration of industry and education, as well as financial and tax issues, based on the direction of high-quality development in the manufacturing industry and his own practical work. 1. Vigorously cultivate high-quality skilled talents. Representative Zhou Yingfeng believes that accelerating the integration of industry and education and cultivating a large number of high-quality skilled talents has become an urgent task to promote high-quality economic development. To this end, he put forward four suggestions: firstly, establish a "dual system" with Chinese characteristics, and achieve seamless integration between the vocational education system and the industry; Secondly, support the construction of "craftsman cities" in western industrial cities to form a concentrated area for cultivating high-level skilled talents; Thirdly, support the establishment and improvement of cross regional talent collaboration mechanisms to enhance the matching and effective supply of high skilled talents; Fourthly, support the optimization of the management mechanism and training path for high skilled talents, and stimulate a sense of honor and initiative in technological innovation. 2. Tax incentives empower and increase efficiency for enterprise innovation. The achievement of advanced technological achievements cannot be separated from the good policies and services of the country. Tax and fee preferential policies help enterprises to go into battle with ease, and the real tax and fee dividend funds are applied to technological reform and innovation, making enterprise products more competitive, enterprise brands more influential, and enterprise development more vibrant, "said Zhou Yingfeng. In 2024, Guangxi Zhongyuan Machinery Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Liugong, obtained a tax reduction and fee reduction of 4.98 million yuan, of which 1.8 million yuan was deducted from relevant enterprise income tax for equipment and appliances.
