Industrial software has been widely used in various industries across the country, from the design and manufacturing of components to large-scale major engineering projects, with an increasing demand for its use. As is well known, due to the Sino-US trade war, China’s weaknesses in the field of chips have become particularly evident: the control over chip technology remains in the hands of foreign manufacturers. However, it’s not just the chip issue; for a long time, Chinese manufacturing has also faced a core problem that urgently needs to be addressed: industrial software! According to relevant information, at present 50% of the software used for development in China, 80% of the planning software, and 95% of the service-related software are in the hands of foreign companies. For example, CAD software used in various fields across the country is monopolized by foreign firms, and the underlying reason for this is that the core technologies are under control of those foreign companies. China is widely recognized as a major manufacturing country in the world, playing a crucial role in the economic development of the globe. Of course, the development of China’s manufacturing sector also relies on the support of industrial software. Since the introduction of concepts such as \"Made in China\" and the \"2025 Plan,\" in addition to terms like industrial Internet, artificial intelligence, big data, and blockchain becoming widely known, the issue of industrial software has also come to the attention of everyone. In particular, problems related to the use of domestic industrial software, the need for independent control over core technologies, and ensuring information security have drawn attention from the government as well as various industries in the country. For some time now, domestic experts have been pointing out that if multinational companies’ industrial software products are widely used in our country, it could have a severe impact on our national industrial security, as well as pose safety risks to various sectors such as our defense industry. Take CAD design software as an example; it is essential for projects in China’s military manufacturing, aerospace, and geological survey industries. If we rely solely on foreign-developed core design software, there is a risk that important information related to these fields could be stolen. Therefore, it is increasingly important to develop domestic industrial software that is under our own control. If we continue to rely on foreign industrial software, on the one hand we will be constrained by foreign products or related **policies; on the other hand, if important information such as data security is leaked, the consequences could be disastrous ； More importantly, without domestically developed software that is autonomous, controllable, safe, and reliable, China’s intelligent manufacturing cannot exist. In several recent incidents that posed challenges to China’s manufacturing capabilities, industrial software and chips served as both soft and hard threats to this sector; the difficulties faced by industrial software, particularly CAD software, are especially prominent. CAD software is widely used in various important industries such as electrical design, mechanical manufacturing, and industrial construction. In particular, specialized CAD software enhances design efficiency, provides better tools for knowledge management and information retrieval, and enables accurate and efficient exchange of information within a company as well as between upstream and downstream partners, all on the basis of uniform formats and standards. CAD software has become an essential efficiency tool for numerous enterprises. If foreign CAD software is banned from being sold in China or if there are significant changes in import and export policies, it will lead to unpredictable consequences. This is not an exaggeration; as is well known, the Sino-US trade war has been going on for some time now, and foreign chip and software companies have imposed a sales ban on Huawei ； News such as the global renowned brand Adobe blocking Venezuelan users due to U.S. export sanctions is sufficient to prove this point. Only by ensuring autonomy and control over core technologies can software and data security be free from any risks. Therefore, software security should be planned in advance, and it must not become a barrier that hinders the development of domestic enterprises. According to available data, the market size for industrial software in China was over 160 billion yuan during 2018–2019. On the one hand, there is an increasing demand for industrial software within the country; on the other hand, this industry faces many challenges when operating in the domestic market, such as whether core technologies can truly be developed and controlled by local companies ； Faced with the diverse Chinese market, where each company has its own unique needs, how can one find a balance between technology and business strategies in order to truly meet market demands? ； How to promote the use of domestic software on a large scale within the country and prevent the spread of piracy… These are all issues that the development of domestic software must address. In fact, in recent years, faced with a relatively complex international market environment, **has introduced an increasing number of policies to promote the development of domestic industrial software. At the same time, it actively encourages and guides state-owned enterprises as well as various industries in the country to use such software. Public awareness of domestic industrial software has also evolved from skepticism to widespread adoption, indicating that this type of software has received considerable attention from ** and recognition from domestic users. Of course, the research, development, and innovation of core technologies for industrial software play a crucial role in this regard. For example, Haocheng CAD, which is currently the most widely used CAD software in China, has been dedicated to the development and advancement of domestic industrial software since its establishment in 1992. Through nearly three decades of effort, it possesses complete independent intellectual property rights, and its core technologies feature truly autonomous architectures that ensure safety and controllability. In response to the policy call for building a \"strong country in technology,\" Haocheng focuses on the needs of enterprise users, relies on fully independent technical solutions, and continuously innovates its products. It actively participates in market competition, helping domestic industrial software to expand its influence both domestically and internationally. It is precisely because of companies such as Haochen CAD, which continuously strive to enhance product research and development as well as the user experience associated with their products, taking it upon themselves to promote the development of domestic industrial software and to support the adoption of such software by enterprises. These companies cooperate actively with the Copyright Administration and copyright authorities at all levels to raise awareness and provide guidance regarding the use of domestic software and the adoption of legitimate versions thereof. By providing industrial software with independent intellectual property rights, and by offering comprehensive solutions for industrial software tailored to different industries and users, they have played a key role in driving the development of domestic industrial software. In the face of the current complex market environment, it is no longer possible to neglect the vigorous promotion of the development of domestic industrial software and the widespread use of such software. On the one hand, **continued guidance is needed; on the other hand, software companies are required to keep investing in technology research and development and innovation, to strengthen their presence in both domestic and international markets, and to offer users more flexible and diverse services. Domestic enterprises and users also need to give more opportunities to domestic software; by choosing to use such software, they are contributing to its development. Only in this way can Chinese enterprises and users gain more control in the future!
