Reinventing the Nation: Made in China 2025

China remains the world's largest patent applicant

Thanks to a slight recovery in the global economy, once again a record number of patent applications were filed in 2013. Just as in 2012 the majority of applications came from China, followed by the United States and Japan.

For the fourth consecutive year 2013 saw a sharp rise in the number of patent applications worldwide. In total 2.57 million applications were filed; 9 percent more than in 2012. Worldwide 1.17 million patents were actually issued; an increase of 3.1 percent over the previous year. These are the findings of a report published by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) on patent activity in a hundred countries.

Two years ago China overtook the United States to move into first place. In 2013 there were 825,136 patent applications in China; an increase of 26.4 percent over the previous year. The United States ended the year in second place, with 571,612 applications (+5.3 percent). Japan followed in third place with 328,436 applications (-4.2 percent). Currently there are more than 9.45 million patents in force worldwide. With a share of 26 percent, the United States is by far the leader, followed by Japan.

Specialisation in innovation

The most popular area for filing patent applications in 2013 was for computer science (7.6 percent), followed by electronics (7.2 percent), measuring instruments (4.7 percent), digital communications (4.5 percent) and medical applications (4.3 percent). The applications reflect a clear specialisation in innovation in the different countries. Most pharmaceutical patent applications, for example, come from Switzerland, while filings related to developments in the area of food technology are mainly of Russian origin. French and German patents generally focus on transportation, while applications from China, South Korea, the United States and Great Britain are generally focused on IT.

If you had a chance to study under Alibaba Group's founder Jack Ma on entrepreneurship, would you pass it up or grab it?

As many as 36 Chinese businesspeople seized the opportunity, weathering fierce competition to become the first group of students at Hupan College, which Ma created with seven other entrepreneurs and distinguished scholars whose aim is to nurture the country's next generation of entrepreneurs.

The college in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province, held its opening ceremonies on Friday.

Ma likened entrepreneurs to scientists.

"They are people with a certain gift. But once these gifted people are found, time and energy is needed to make them shine," he said.

The biggest difference between the course at Hupan and master's degree programs at other institutions is that people "study mistakes here", Ma said.

Ma, who turned a small website into one of the world's largest business empires over the past 15 years, said he wants Hupan to last for 300 years.

"It needs to be built not only by teachers but also by students," he said, adding that future student candidates will be recommended by their predecessors.

Wang Lifen, a widely known television producer and founder of UMIWI Multimedia Co, is in that first group of students at Hupan. She said she was asked to make suggestions on curriculum. "But what attracted me most is the legendary teachers and bright students Hupan was able to pull together," Wang said.

Hupan's co-founders include Feng Lun, a Chinese property tycoon, and Qiang Yingyi, dean of the School of Economics and Management at Tsinghua University.

To get into Hupan, applicants must have at least three years' experience in their own businesses and have a team of more than 30 people. Many in the inaugural class are well established, even leading, players in their individual industries.

The program lasts for three years, with tuition of about 280,000 yuan ($45,000).

Wang Yong, founder of Weiweipinche, a carpooling app, and a student at Hupan, said that for entrepreneurs who have a certain level of experience, traditional MBA courses can't satisfy their needs.

Ma, a former English teacher, will pass along his knowledge in person, according to the college's curriculum. His lecture, which focuses on business strategy, is scheduled to kick off on Saturday and run through Sunday.

Spotlight: Chinese hi-tech firms, equipment makers gainincreasing traction overseas
(Xinhua) 17:14, March 27, 2015

BEIJING, March 27 -- Chinese technology firms and equipment makers are gaining moreand more traction overseas, propelled by the country's drive to realize a shift from low-endmanufacturing onto construction into innovation hub for high-end technology.

As the government highlighted in a recent executive meeting of the State Council (the Cabinet), China needs to accelerate implementation of the "Made in China 2025" strategyby raising product and service standards in a bid to promote the economy to a medium-to-high level.

A mature equipment manufacturing industry could inject new momentum to China'seconomy under the "new normal."

The government report for 2015 delivered at an annual session of the National People'sCongress (NPC) in early March said the country encourages its companies to participate inoverseas infrastructure projects and engage in cooperation with their foreign counterpartsin building up production capacity in a bid to increase the international market share ofChina's sectors of railways, electric power generation, telecommunications, engineering machinery, automaking, aircraft production, electronics and other equipment manufacturing.

No sector better symbolizes China's shift from a nation of labor intensive manufacturingonto one that excels in the high-tech field than high speed rail (HSR), which has alreadybecome a new "image card" for China.

The country's railway transportation industry is seeing great opportunities to export itstechnology, as China is engaging itself in discussions with Russia, Mongolia, India andThailand on railway cooperation.

Huang Bin, an expert at Thailand's think tank KAITAI Research Center, said China'srailway industry enjoys some prominent advantages and a late-mover edge as it is capableof offering a full range of ancillary equipment and has experience in operation uderdifferent climate and terrain conditions. What is more important is that its products arealways highly efficient and cost-effective.

In December 2014, China and Thailand inked a memorandum of understanding (MoU) onrailway cooperation, agreeing to jointly build Thailand's first standard-gauge railway lineswith a total length of more than 800 km.

The railway line, linking the Nong Khai Province in northern Thailand and the Map TaPhut Port in southern Thailand, will be built totally with Chinese technologies, standardsand equipment.

In January 2015, Kenya's Mombasa-Nairobi railway line was officially put into operation.

The 480-km railway line, built by China Road and Bridge Corporation, is the first tocompletely adopt Chinese standards outside the world's second biggest economy, and it issaid to be the largest infrastructure project in the country since the independence ofKenya.

Always upholding the win-win principle, China actually has a fairly long history of railwaycooperation with other countries. Officials from the Argentine province of Chubut recentlyrevealed that they have been negotiating with some Chinese companies on possible railwaycooperation.

The chairman of the Argentine-Chinese chamber of production, industry and commerce,Carlos P. Spadone said recently that no one wants to lose the opportunity to hitch a rideaboard China's economic development.

Over the years, China's railway transportation industry has witnessed earth-shakingtransformation, as evidenced by its state-of-the-art technologies and equipment.

In 2014, the export contract value of China's top two bullet train makers, China South RailCorporation (CSR) and China North Rail (CNR), exceeded three billion U.S. dollars, a 60percent increase from 2013. They have recently announced that they would merge into anew company in a bid to accelerate overseas expansion.

The railway sector is just a snapshot of China's fast-evolving equipment manufacturingindustry, as an increasing number of Chinese equipment makers and high-tech firms are"going global," offering cost-effective and quality products to regions and countries aroundthe world.

In October 2014, Romania and China General Nuclear (CGN) signed a joint letter of intentto build two new reactors in Romania's Cernavoda nuclear plant for which the Chinesecompany has been designated as an investor.

Chinese nuclear power companies have also managed to gain ground in South Africa,Argentine and Turkey, as the country has formally launched its first indigenous nuclearpower reactor design.

In August 2014, China National Nuclear Corporation announced that China's own-brandthird-generation reactor "Hualong One" has passed through experts review to become thecountry's independent nuclear power technology that could be exported.
 
Huawei's Kirin 930 flagship CPU uses enhanced Cortex A53e cores pushed to 2GHz clock speed
Posted: 27 Mar 2015

Huawei is making serious progress with its chipmaking business, coming up with more impressive in-house processors for its smartphones each year. The one that's en vogue for 2015 is the Kirin 930, an eight-core monster that's built on a 16nm process. Previously, the available information suggested that the K930 is based on stock ARM Cortex A53 and Cortex A57 cores, with the most recent reports surprisingly revealing an all-Cortex A53 octa-core configuration at the helm.

Predictably, some questioning ensued, as the A53 cores are low powered and play second fiddle to the hotter A57 cores in the typical octa-core configuration. However, Huawei chimed in with an interesting explanation. Apparently, the Kirin 930 is based on four regular Cortex A53 cores and four enhanced Cortex A53e cores. The latter appears to be a Huawei creation, and are remarkably different to the traditional Cortex A57 and Cortex A53 cores. For starters, stock A53 cores traditionally run at 1.2GHz, which doesn't cut it for flagship performance. So Huawei pushed them as hot as 2Ghz, which makes them nearly as fast as Cortex A57 cores, but more power-efficient.

According to the company, A57 cores, which are about 56% faster than A53 cores, could eat up as much as 256% more electricity, which results in heat creation and reduced battery life. So Huawei made a careful compromise and ended up with slightly slower, but hopefully more power-conscious cores.

China's E-commerce Giants Go Rural
2015-03-30

China has recently wowed the world with its strong ability to generate revenue in digital retailing. Yet the country's leading e-commerce companies believe they can bring sales to a new high, reaching China's rural population.

"The number of online shoppers in China's rural areas will hit 300 million. That is on the same scale of urban areas," Alibaba's President Jin Jianhang said over the weekend at the Boao Forum for Asia.

In order to reach to those potential users, Alibaba plans to invest 10 billion yuan (US$1.6 billion) in the next three to five years. The money will be used to build operational centers in 1,000 small towns and 100,000 villages.

Last October, Alibaba announced Cuntao, an e-commerce platform designed for people living in rural areas.

Acknowledging higher logistic costs and longer delivery time as obstacles for rural e-commerce, Alibaba has teamed up with several partners to establish a nationwide logistics network called Cainiao.

The latest market data from Cainiao Network shows that 13 percent of Cuntao's orders can be delivered on the same day or the next day of orders.

Among Alibaba's partners for Cainiao Network are the logistics service providers S.F. Express, Shentong Express, and Yuantong Express.

Last week, S.F. Express announced that it began using small drones to deliver packages to rural areas in south China.

Alibaba is not the only one eying the rural market. Jingdong Mall is also working to expand its business to 100,000 villages this year, according to its CEO, Liu Qiangdong.

Jingdong Mall's focus will be establishing service hubs for delivering, installing and after-sales services for home appliances in rural areas.

China's e-commerce gross merchandise volume in 2014 was 12.3 trillion yuan (US$2 trillion), up 21.3 percent from the previous year, according to market research company iResearch.

Small cities and countryside will provide an even bigger market when their living standards are getting higher and higher. More importantly, transportation in the countryside has been considerably improved. Without a modern logistics system, Alibaba and Jingdong could not succeed, which is often neglected in other developing countries.
 
@Shotgunner51 @TaiShang
I'd rather say their success is because they are in China, the biggest market and they are backed up by the central government.
Without this huge expressway network(111,950km by 2014), could Alibaba succeed?

Without perhaps the densest expressway network in Yangtze Delta, could Alibaba realize 1-day delivery?

A network of expressways needs be built on Shanghai's Chongming,the third largest island in China。:hitwall:

Their roads in the countryside are not bad.
When we name an expressway, we mean controlled-access highway.
If we use Indian criteria(They call some normal highways as "expressway"), we will have at least 1,000,000 km expressways.

These are "provincial highways"(worse than national highways) or village roads.
We cannot call this highway "expressway" since it's not controlled-access.
