Urgent need to accelerate the integration of information technology and industrialization

Over the years, especially in the past 30 years of reform and opening up, the Chinese mainland industry has achieved a leap forward development, the establishment of an independent and complete industrial system. Industrial added value accounted for 43% of the mainland GDP. The output of major industrial products of coal, steel, cement, chemical fertilizer, micro computers, televisions and other ranks first in the world, light industry, textile, machinery, household appliances, refined oil and ethylene production in the world, aviation, aerospace, shipbuilding and other high technology fields have made remarkable achievements. The total number of telephone users reached 980 million, Internet users reached 298 million, the size of the communication network and user ranks first in the world. However, compared with many developed countries and regions, there is still a big gap in the overall level of industrialization in china. Mainly, the core technology and key technology of high external dependence, independent innovation ability is not strong; resources and environmental constraints become increasingly prominent, the urgent need of industrial development mode transformation; the use of high technology, especially information technology to upgrade traditional industries is a daunting task; decentralized industrial management, weakening of some industries, the lack of management strict market regulation and credit system has not been fully established. It is the inherent requirement of the development of the mainland industry to promote industrialization with informatization, promote informatization with industrialization, take a new road to industrialization, speed up the integration of information and industrialization.

March 2008, the Ministry of industry and information technology, to take a new road to industrialization provides institutional protection. The Ministry of industry and information technology undertook the formulation and implementation of industrial planning, industrial policies and standards, monitoring the daily operation of the industry, promote the development of major technical equipment and independent innovation, management communication industry, promote the informatization construction guidance, coordination of the important responsibilities of safeguarding national security information. Mainly planning, management policies, standards, and guide the development of the industry. At present, we are in accordance with the requirements of the new road of industrialization with Chinese characteristics, strengthen the industry guidance, coordination, supervision and service, and strive to promote the industry by the strong.

Industrial added value in 2009 was 12%

Just past 2008, the mainland economy withstood the severe test of snow and ice, earthquake disasters, the international financial crisis and many other aspects. In particular, the global financial crisis triggered by the U.S. subprime mortgage crisis, involving a wide range, the impact of deep, strong impact, has spread to the world, and spread from the financial sector to the real economy. Affected by the crisis, the rapid decline in the market, confidence in the doldrums, the international financial market turmoil, a serious shortage of liquidity, raw material prices and freight fluctuations, the economic situation is more complex.

China's economic development has been severely hit. Mainly: external demand has been shrinking, overcapacity in some sectors, bank credit crunch, energy, raw material price volatility, corporate production and management difficulties, economic growth downward pressure increased significantly. Among them, the industry suffered the greatest impact. Above scale industrial added value growth rate fell from 16% in 2008 to the month of November to $5.4% in December, a slight rebound in June, up to 5.7%. Annual industrial added value of above scale growth of 12.9%, the growth rate down by 5.6 percentage points. China's industrial development faces many years of grim situation. To maintain steady and rapid growth of the industry, for the protection of development, employment protection, stability
