The hottest foreign capital withdraws from China's

Foreign capital withdrawal from China? New factories in the manufacturing industry say no strongly

from "world factory" to "world market", China's huge market demand, like a "magnet", attracts many foreign capital. From the "reform dividend" to the "new normal" of China's economy, foreign capital has come and gone, and the market has different opinions. Under the call of China's "promoting transformation", the "excellent foreign investment" seeks the intelligent manufacturing transformation of "quantity and quality"

foreign capital leaving China? Low end manufacturing in the industrial chain is shifting

since the new century, China has been known as the "factory of the world". Its huge labor force, cheap land resources and relatively mature infrastructure have attracted a lot of capital from all over the world. However, with the gradual weakening of the above advantages, the flow of foreign capital has become a new hot topic. Philips Lighting closed its factory in Shenzhen, Seagate, the world's largest hard disk manufacturer, withdrew from Suzhou, and Ge lighting left the site with "ending all direct business activities in Asia and Latin America"... Since last year, some foreign capital withdrawal events have occurred, coupled with the changes in the global investment and trade environment, there is public opinion that there has been a "wave of foreign capital withdrawal" in China

first, from a macro perspective, compare the operating data of foreign-funded industrial enterprises (data as of November 2016): in November 2013, the total number of foreign-funded (including Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan) industrial enterprises in China was 57200, with a sales revenue of 21.80 trillion yuan, of which 6.47 trillion yuan came from exports. This year is also the year with the largest number of foreign entrepreneurs

by November 2016, only 51800 foreign entrepreneurs remained, a decrease of 9.4% over 2013; The sales revenue was 22.76 trillion, and the export scale fell to 5.44 trillion, a full decrease of 15.9% compared with 2013. The most troublesome thing is that the "accounts receivable" of foreign-funded enterprises (confiscated after selling the goods) continue to rise. In November 2013, the accounts receivable of foreign-funded enterprises was 3.33 trillion, with a ratio of 15.3% to the total sales revenue. By November 2016, the amount of accounts receivable increased to 4.05 trillion, with a ratio of 17.8% to the total sales revenue, which is the highest value after China's accession to the WTO. God knows how much of these accounts receivable can finally be recovered...

the withdrawal of foreign capital has aroused public concern

Shanghai Foreign Studies University conducted experiments within 24 hours. Ma Yao, a special researcher of the school of international relations and public affairs, analyzed the frequently cited "evacuation Representatives" of Philips Lighting and Seagate. He pointed out that the reason why Philips closed the factory was mainly due to its own strategic transformation. It constantly tried to increase the research and development and investment of medical equipment, and it did consider the compression of production capacity in the traditional lighting industry. On the other hand, the rise of Chinese local lighting brands has also had a certain impact on Philips Lighting. This kind of action is basically an action of stopping losses and actively seeking strategic direction

the closure of Seagate group's Suzhou plant is an enterprise's own business adjustment under the background of the great industrial change. The products of Seagate group's factories in China are not new solid state drives that are the mainstream of the market, but traditional hard drives driven by magnetic heads that are already declining. This will inevitably lead to a decrease in orders, a decrease in market share and an increase in losses

he believed that the withdrawal of these two enterprises was caused by the company itself and had nothing to do with confidence in China's economy. As put forward in made in China 2025, made in China should transform to innovation, intelligence, green and high-end, and find its own new advantages. At present, robots, artificial intelligence, virtual reality and other high-end industries are developing rapidly in China, which is bound to attract foreign capital to adjust the layout in the Chinese market, withdraw from the low-end, turn to the high-end, and speed up the replacement of old and new kinetic energy

the new expansion and production of new manufacturing plants are on fire

te connectivity

yesterday, I was invited to attend the opening ceremony of the Suzhou factory and customer experience center of the Ministry of industry of te connectivity in China. Te new factory is located in Suzhou Xiangcheng Economic Development Zone, covering an area of 20000 square meters.

Yaskawa electric

Yaskawa electric (Shenyang) Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Yaskawa (Shenyang)") held the foundation laying ceremony of the third phase of the plant on May 8. YASKAWA (Shenyang) was founded in June, 2008 and established the first factory in June, 2010. It is the manufacturing base of Yaskawa servo devices, motors, control machines and related parts. In 2012, the company started the construction of the second factory in November 2012, benefiting from the growth of automation market related to intelligent, robot and other industries, and the company's orders were in short supply. As of April this year, the headquarters is located in Pittsburgh, the United States. The cumulative production volume of Yaskawa (Shenyang) has exceeded 2million sets, and has become one of the most important production bases in Yaskawa group. With the continuous promotion of the upgrading and transformation of China's traditional manufacturing industry, in order to better, faster and more timely respond to user needs, Yaskawa decided to increase production capacity again and start the construction of the third phase plant

the third phase factory of Anchuan (Shenyang) can complete the experiments of pipe ring stiffness, ring flexibility, flattening, zigzag, weld stretching, etc. after that, a servo driver production line will be added. YASKAWA (Shenyang) will make full use of the technological R & D strength of both China and Japan, challenge and innovate, and realize the mass production of robot controllers and the independent production of circuit boards

according to the Japanese economy on April 19, Yaskawa electric plans to double the production capacity of multi joint robots in China to about 1000 units per month, and in the medium-term business plan with 2018 as the final year, it proposes to add a factory in Jiangsu Province and a Changzhou factory to produce large robots for welding and handling goods

Panasonic

Panasonic automotive electronics and Electromechanical Systems Co., Ltd. recently completed its new factory in Dalian, China, which is a car mounted lithium-ion battery with independent intellectual property rights. The factory is the first production base of vehicle battery packs established by Panasonic in China, realizing the construction of Japan North America China production system, thus further strengthening the competitiveness of Panasonic vehicle battery in the world

the new factory will produce square lithium-ion batteries for pure electric vehicles (EV) and other vehicles with less environmental load, which is part of the joint venture to manufacture vehicle batteries established with Dalian liaowuer Electric Appliance Co., Ltd. in February 2016

Panasonic Automotive will challenge the overall turnover (including information systems and components) of 2018 to reach the target of 2 trillion yen. The new factory set up this time will become the core manufacturing base in China, hoping to further help Panasonic strengthen the development of vehicle battery business

in mid April, Bosch announced that the Wujin Factory in China of its automotive electronics division was officially put into use. As the second production base of Bosch Automotive Electronics in China, the new factory will provide electronic products and services in the field of auto driving and interconnection for the Chinese market

the new factory located in Wujin economic development zone of Changzhou has a total construction area of 34000 square meters. By 2019, the total investment will reach 800million yuan. The new factory will mainly provide electronic products and services in the field of auto driving and interconnection for the Chinese market, such as cameras and radar sensors for driver assistance systems, central customs and other interconnected products for the car market, as well as automotive electronic power steering system controllers. It is estimated that by 2019, the new plant will achieve an annual capacity of 41million electronic control units (ECUs), better meeting the growing demand of the Chinese market

Mitsubishi Electric

according to the Japanese economy in February, Mitsubishi Electric plans to build a new plant in Changshu, Jiangsu Province, to double the production capacity of motors and numerical control (NC) devices used in machine tools. The new plant covers an area of about 33000 square meters, which is similar to the scale of the existing plant. The estimated investment is about 2billion yen, and we will strive to put it into production in 2017. Mitsubishi Electric is providing IOT services to factories, etc. by using this service, we can connect the equipment in the factory and manage the operation of the equipment

: the above is only a microcosm of the new expansion and operation of foreign manufacturing enterprises in China in the first half of 2017. At present, the major developed countries in the world have shifted the focus of their development strategies to manufacturing, especially the pace of intelligent manufacturing has gradually accelerated, and China has become one of the main battlefields of competition among countries. "Made in China 2025", "Internet +", industrial IOT and other policy strategies have brought a series of market opportunities and growth points. The intelligent and digital development strategies of industrial giants are also integrated with the Chinese market. As the door of China's opening-up becomes wider and stronger, the so-called "withdrawal of foreign capital and bad mouthing of China's economy" will be defeated
