China Sets An Example For The Development Of Manufacturing In Africa.

According to comprehensive media reports, a few days ago, Rob Davies, Minister of trade and industry of South Africa, said at the closing of the world economic forum Africa Conference that African countries, including South Africa, must vigorously develop the manufacturing industry, while the world manufacturing power China has set an example for African countries in developing their own manufacturing industries.

Davies pointed out that the products currently exported to Africa are mainly concentrated in the fields of primary raw materials and mineral resources, Africa. Exit Goods lack diversity. This situation makes it easier for trade to be affected by fluctuations in the international market. This is also the main reason why the growth of GDP in African countries has not been transformed into improvement in people's lives. He said that the mining industry belongs to capital intensive enterprises, and has a very limited positive impact on major issues related to the national economy and people's livelihood, such as job creation and poverty reduction. African countries need more efforts to develop manufacturing and labor-intensive enterprises. Only in this way can we expand employment, effectively solve the problem of poverty, and really raise people's living standards.

Davies also believes that African countries should fully learn from China's successful experience and promote the industrialization process and the rapid development of manufacturing industry through government intervention and policy support to enhance the international competitiveness of African products. Africa's development of manufacturing industry should take China as an example and gradually integrate itself into the international economic division of labor system. Africa needs to learn from China, take a new road to industrialization, enhance its ability to innovate, improve its position in the international division of labour, speed up the development of equipment manufacturing industry, and lay emphasis on optimizing the layout of industries and guiding the development of industrial clusters. Davies said that the way and process of China's development of manufacturing industry is worth drawing lessons from African countries.

He believes that the rise of China's manufacturing industry has basically gone through the following process: the first round is the 1980s junior high school period. light industry The growth cycle of the textile industry is the leading growth cycle. The second round of growth cycle began in the early 90s, and the high growth industries that took action included infrastructure construction and basic industries and household appliances. The third round of growth cycle took place after 2001, and Shi Jianshe, communications, and communications became the new leading high growth industries. The three structural changes are related to the upgrading of the consumption structure of the residents, forming a development pattern of upgrading the consumption structure and promoting the upgrading of the industrial structure. This is the inevitable result of the consumption oriented industrialization strategy.

He also believes that China manufacturing industry Compared with the industrial structure of heavy industry in Japan and other countries, the biggest difference is that when the heavy chemical industry has been developing rapidly, the technology intensive industries such as electronic communications equipment manufacturing have been developing faster.
