Japan's earthquake brought the shock of the global automotive industry chain, also led to reflect on the Japanese government and enterprises. When the Japanese company intends to accelerate the transfer of industries to the Chinese market, this on the Chinese auto and auto parts manufacturers, whether a challenge or an opportunity? "Daily Economic News" and the Academy of Social Sciences Research director of the National Japanese economy and the State Council Development Research Center Bai Yimin Wang Qing, an associate researcher engaged in a dialogue.
"Daily News" (hereinafter referred to as NBD): Japan small parts manufacturers to build components collectively Industrial Park in China, the Japanese auto parts industry mean?
Qing Wang: First of all, the auto parts industry, the transfer to China is not accidental that the phenomenon of the "Eleventh Five-Year" period has been very clear that the earthquake in Japan only accelerate the process. Japanese parts manufacturers, continue to maintain the competitiveness of the Chinese market, will be to maintain and enhance the competitiveness of the automotive industry an important way. Second, with China and other emerging manufacturing countries, the scale of the expansion of demand for cars, Japanese domestic parts suppliers to increase the pressure of growing, plant in China will reduce the cost approach. Third, the future of China's market potential not only in car manufacturing, but also in parts supply, which will bring greater opportunities for parts manufacturers in Japan.
Bai Yimin: Japan's core manufacturing business in the past will be on the local community in the establishment of a set of effective logistics system, even if the supply to the U.S. and European companies are also very effective, but because of the earthquake because the system is broken. Japanese automobile companies invest in China, mostly in two or three years will be able to recover the cost, along with auto parts also come in order to obtain more profits.
NBD: Do you think the Japanese parts manufacturers in the industrial part of the trauma suffered, it will be what kind of strategic adjustment?
Wang Qing: After the earthquake in Japan, shortly before the earthquake, the production scale is difficult to recover, we must accelerate the transfer of industry to China. In addition, to avoid the risk of natural disasters, growing ahead of Japan on employment, technological security and other considerations. Meanwhile, parts manufacturing firms only part of the transfer, research and development component will continue to carry out in Japan, which is the core competitiveness of the Japanese parts and components increased benefit in line with the current world auto industry value chain adjustment trends.
Bai Yimin: the transfer of Japanese companies overseas, from Japan, there has been pressure on the government level, do not want to tax and personnel affected. But now, through earthquakes, and the Japanese government's attitude relaxed. SMEs do not worry that China will take away their technology, because through a long period of market exploration, they have put themselves firmly in the industrial chain, and bundled together.
NBD: Enterprise has been in the past at the upper reaches of the whole industry chain, to accelerate access to Japanese parts manufacturers in China, on China's domestic auto parts industry will have any effect?
Wang Qing: on the one hand, the Japanese parts manufacturers shift to China and focus on large-scale, in reducing the cost of Japanese parts and components to enhance the competitiveness of Japanese parts, but also parts enterprises in China increased pressure of market competition. On the other hand, will have some spillover effects on China-related technology upgrades, training, management improvement, etc. have a positive effect.
Bai Yimin: China's local auto parts company, not a chance, but the threats. While China has cheap labor and a lot of talent, possibly through joint ventures or enterprises in Japan to enjoy the overflow value of the work, but in training, the Chinese and Japanese companies are also completely different way. Japanese staff tenure is more conducive to the training of business, but China is still a market-oriented way of talent.
NBD: In the field of new energy vehicles, you expect the Japanese parts manufacturers in China, how the layout?
Qing Wang: As with the development of new energy vehicles in China in particular, electric cars need abundant natural resources, Japan should accelerate the establishment of the position in the world to be leveraging China. Japan also will be the estimated future power batteries, investment and cooperation in various ways to speed up the layout in China.
Bai Yimin: Japanese companies to master electronics, electrical equipment and technology, even the shell of the car create Chinese, Japanese companies will be very happy.
