http://news.sohu.com/20170109/n478133122.shtml If it hadn’t been the **prime minister who said it, I guess many people wouldn’t have known. With over 3,000 pen manufacturing enterprises, more than 200,000 workers, and an annual production of over 40 billion ballpoint pens… China has rightfully become a major pen-making country. Yet behind these impressive figures lies a problematic situation: the country is highly dependent on imports for key technologies and materials, and there is a proliferation of low-quality counterfeit products; in addition, many of the “balls” used in ballpoint pens also need to be imported. As a major manufacturing country in the world, why is it unable to achieve complete independent research, development, and production of even a small component? “The question of ballpoint pens is, in fact, the question of China’s manufacturing industry!

I recently read in the newspaper that China has developed ceramic ink balls with improved performance.

In fact, there are still many areas that require effort. Take bearings for example: ours can rotate for over a minute with just a gentle push, while those of others can rotate for five minutes.

This could have been made a long time ago, but the cost is not proportional to the benefits. For example, when the United States builds airplanes, many of the components are also purchased from abroad; it’s just that this issue gets a lot of discussion online

I see, it was made by Taiyuan Iron and Steel. Taiyuan Iron and Steel is truly the leader in China’s stainless steel industry

There is a gap; acknowledge it and strive to overcome it.

The manufacturing industry needs to calm down, conduct thorough research, and focus on production in order to create high-quality products. This requires many years of inheritance and solitary dedication. But what society encourages are those industries that yield quick results.........
