High-end equipment manufacturing into high-speed high-speed bearings into a short board

The Shanghai-Hangzhou high-speed rail was officially opened, which is another milestone in the history of China’s high-speed rail construction. The astonishing construction speed of Shanghai-Hangzhou High-speed Rail, the significant technological innovation achievements, and the overall improvement of the technology platform prove that China's high-speed rail has the ability and level of leading the world. The Shanghai-Hangzhou high-speed rail as a representative project that reflects the overall strength of China's high-end equipment manufacturing industry, its smooth opening symbolizes that China's equipment manufacturing industry has taken a solid step in the transformation from a big change to a strong one.

Although the Shanghai-Hangzhou High-speed Rail is a world-class company and has added points for the high-end equipment manufacturing industry in China, we must realistically see our own deficiencies and gaps. “Barrel theory” tells us how much water the bucket can eventually hold, not depending on the longboard and on the shortest board. In fact, in the advanced project of the Shanghai-Hangzhou high-speed rail, we can also find some shortcomings in our technology. It should be noted that the high-speed bearings used at speeds over 200 kilometers per hour are currently not yet capable of independent production in China, and all of them need to be imported at speeds above 300 kilometers per hour. The Shanghai-Hangzhou High-speed Railway uses the Harmony CRH380A high-speed EMU at a speed of over 400 kilometers per hour. It has the name of “land-based flight,” but its bearings cannot be produced by ourselves. The data shows that in recent years, there have been seven or eight imports of machinery and equipment that exceed US$1 billion in average each year, of which parts and components account for nearly 80% of imported funds.

In addition, from the perspective of the international situation, the future development of high-end equipment manufacturing in China will also face some difficulties. The current Western countries, especially the traditional strong countries in the equipment manufacturing industry, have all proposed the "reindustrialization" strategy. This will inevitably affect foreign trade policies and even trade protectionism. This will directly affect the export of China's equipment manufacturing.
