China’s comprehensive industrial system, sound infrastructure and steady policies all contributed to the gradual growth of its manufacturing sector into a key link in the global industrial and supply chains.
The COVID-19 pandemic puts the global industrial and supply chains in frequent high risks of disruption which was initially and acutely felt by the Chinese manufacturers. They responded to this immediate challenge by promptly adjusting management and operation against all odds.
Measures like accelerated application of 4IR technologies like 5G, IIOT, big data, block-chain and AI, adoption of new business models and solutions like virtual R&D collaboration, unmanned production and remote operation & maintenance, as well as innovatively leveraging IIOT and online marketplace for contingent business solutions helped to mitigate “disruption risks” and gradually put the industrial supply chains running again enabling resumption of work and production at an early date.
By restoring stability in supply chain in the Chinese market in a time when COVID-19 was not yet under effective control globally, Chinese manufacturers proved themselves to be a crucial stabilizer for global industrial and supply chains. What specific China experience could be shared globally? How do we plan for the future facing the global industrial and supply chain restructuring and the unprecedented recession in the post-pandemic world?
