Novel coronavirus pneumonia, Minister of industry and information technology, said that in the face of the sudden outbreak of the new crown pneumonia, the national industrial and information system focused on ensuring the supply of key medical materials. The fiscal, tax and financial policies that have been issued in the early stage have accelerated their implementation and achieved results. The counter cyclical adjustment policies have been launched simultaneously. The significant institutional advantages, huge industrial scale, complete industrial system and huge domestic demand market of China's concentrated efforts have made China's industrial economy show strong resilience and vitality to cope with the complex and severe situation.

From January to April, the added value of industries above designated size decreased by 4.9% year on year. However, in April, the data turned to an increase of 3.9%, which realized the transition from negative to positive, sending a very positive signal.

Miao Wei, Minister of the Ministry of industry and information technology, pointed out that since March, with the continuous improvement of the effectiveness of domestic epidemic prevention and control, the resumption of work and production has been accelerated, and the industrial production order has also been accelerated.

Specifically, there are three main characteristics in the current industrial resumption:

First, the speed-up and expansion of resumption of production showed positive changes in the main indicators. The industrial chain coordinated the resumption of work and production. The rate of return to work and the rate of return to work are close to 100%, basically returning to the normal level. With the rapid release of production capacity after the resumption of work, market demand has gradually picked up.

Second, most industries recovered growth, and the production and supply of raw materials and necessities were generally stable. The growth rate of production in the raw material industry has turned positive, the production in the machinery industry has gradually picked up, and the light industry, textile and other consumer goods industries have continued to recover. In April, automobile production and sales increased by 2.3% and 4.4% respectively, and the sales volume achieved positive growth for the first time after 21 consecutive months of decline.

Third, the high-tech manufacturing industry is growing against the trend, and the new business forms and new models are growing rapidly. From January to April, the added value of high-tech manufacturing industry increased by 0.5% year-on-year, of which the growth rate rebounded to 8.9% and 10.5% in March and April, respectively, faster than the growth rate of industries above the overall scale. New business models such as telecommuting, online education and contactless distribution are booming.

"In the long run, we have significant institutional advantages, a complete industrial system, huge market demand and sufficient policy toolbox. The impact of the epidemic on China's industrial economy is only periodic and generally controllable, and it will not change its long-term trend of development Miao Wei said.

New infrastructure becomes an important hand

The construction of new infrastructure is of particular concern. In response, Wen Ku, director of the information and Communication Development Department of the Ministry of industry and information technology, said that the Ministry of industry and information technology has successively issued documents to promote 5g's accelerated development and the comprehensive development of the mobile Internet of things, committed to accelerating the construction and development of digital infrastructure, and better playing an important role in stabilizing investment, expanding domestic demand and stimulating economic growth.

Expand effective investment. Taking 5g network construction as an example, in addition to the large amount of investment in network construction itself, it can also drive the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain, including the R & D and production of relevant equipment and mobile terminals, as well as cultivate and expand new consumption such as online education, smart home and immersive games.

We will foster new models, formats and industries. Telemedicine, remote contract signing, online office, and even the defense of undergraduate, master and doctoral students, as well as the opening ceremony of the World Health Assembly, can be carried out by relying on digital infrastructure. These new infrastructures transform technology into productivity and provide guarantee for the recovery of economic and social order.

Digital empowerment of traditional industries. At present, there are more than 70 platforms with certain regional and industrial influence in the field of industrial Internet. The application depth and breadth in energy, transportation, medical and other industries continue to expand, effectively improving production efficiency and quality, and improving the competitiveness and overall development level of traditional industries.

"On the one hand, we will accelerate the cultivation and expansion of new consumption, such as Ultra HD live broadcast, cloud conference and cloud tourism, which have been shown during the epidemic, and promote consumption upgrading. On the other hand, we should continue to increase the innovation of information and communication technology, expand new business forms of information services, promote the research and development and scale application of smart terminals such as 5g mobile phones, and drive the sustained and rapid growth of information consumption. " Wenku revealed.

Micro subject releases new vitality

When talking about how to alleviate the impact of the epidemic on small and medium-sized enterprises, Miao Wei said that small and medium-sized enterprises are related to the stability of the industrial chain, and more to the employment problem. Therefore, all departments and localities have made timely efforts to help small and medium-sized enterprises through a set of "policy combination fist".

"With the accelerated implementation of various preferential policies, the return rate of small and medium-sized enterprises is steadily increasing, and the difficulties of enterprises have been alleviated to a certain extent." Miao Wei said that in the future, it will further cultivate the endogenous vitality and power for the survival and development of small and medium-sized enterprises, guide small and medium-sized enterprises to focus on subdivisional fields, strive to take the development path of "specialization, specialty and innovation", make more small and medium-sized enterprises focus on the industries and fields they are good at, and realize "developing strengths and avoiding weaknesses".
