The State Should “Exit” to Support Domestic Scientific Research Achievements

At the same time, two “twin” scientific research achievements of the same institute in Anhui province began to “single” foreign monopolies in their respective fields. A few years later, a result was successfully squeezed out of China by foreign monopolies because of the support from the state, and another unsupported project was strangled by foreign monopolies to the brink of survival. The different outcomes highlight the "massive" operations of foreign companies and the lack of support for "individual" operations by state-owned enterprises.
Scientific and technological achievements even won the country to support independent innovation Anti-monopoly success The Chinese Academy of Sciences Anhui Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics (ANHMC) obtained three scientific and technological achievements such as the "Chemical Luminescence Air Quality Nitrogen Oxygen Automatic Monitor" around 2000. And successfully transformed the company with three companies in Wuhan and other places. At the time, all of these domestic environmental quality monitoring instruments were monopolized by foreign companies, and the price was as high as more than RMB 1 million, which was more than twice that of similar domestic products.
"After China broke the technological blockade, the strangling of foreign monopoly companies followed." Liu Jianguo, deputy director of the Anhui Institute of Optics and Mechanics, said, "This kind of strangling is a 'mortar' type attack. It was fast and embarrassing. It once brought us to a desperate situation.” “First of all, foreign professional journals began to say that our products are not technical and data are not allowed. Then we monopolized foreign companies and lobbied to relevant departments, saying that it was a foreign product. The most embarrassing thing is that we propose to carry out field comparison experiments on domestic and foreign products. The comparison time is more than one year.” Liu Jianguo said, “At that time, the results had just been transformed, companies were unable to sell their funds, and they also spent money everywhere to compare. We are like a child in the middle of a rut, and the opponent is a strong, strong man. If there is no miracle, we will really be dragged by foreign companies."
This miracle is to obtain strong support from the relevant state departments. By chance, the responsible person of the relevant state department at that time understood this situation and decided to give support. "This gives us valuable breathing space," Liu Jianguo said. After 6 years, with the advantage of price and quality, these products already accounted for two-thirds of the domestic market share. Two of the three foreign monopoly companies had already withdrawn from the Chinese market.
The results of the "Twin Health" are being strangled by foreign companies to the edge of survival. The "seven-band carbon black aerosol monitoring technology" is also the scientific research achievement of the Anhui Institute of Optics and Technology. It is equivalent to the technology of foreign products, and its price is only half that of similar products. It is also to maintain the national environment. The role of weather data security is the "hygiene" brother of the independent innovation achievements. However, due to lack of support, it was strangled by foreign companies to the edge of survival.
Li Ji, executive director of Anhui Recycling Economy and Technology Engineering Institute, said that at present, this field is monopolized by similar foreign instruments for a long time. Under the service of Anhui Circular Economy and Technology Engineering Institute, this technology has been transformed in a company in Hefei. Compared with similar foreign products, the selling price is reduced to 60%, and the localization rate is 95%. However, there has been no progress in the domestic sales of this equipment, mainly due to the strangling of foreign monopoly companies.
First, since the equipment is mainly used for atmospheric environmental monitoring, it is generally used in the national, provincial and municipal meteorological bureaus or environmental protection bureaus. Therefore, the government procurement method is used for procurement, and the method of packaging is used in the bidding process. However, in the packaging process, the purchased instruments include instruments that have not been domesticated. The foreign instrument sales representatives will jointly cancel the authorization of the domestic equipment tenderers, and will not provide the tender authorization for foreign instruments, making the localized instruments inaccessible. The tender threshold.
Second, in domestic universities or research institutes and other scientific research institutions, if the use of localized instruments to conduct project research, analysis, and publish articles, research reports, etc., the general foreign journals will not be recognized as localized instruments, etc., do not recognize The research results obtained with domestic instruments have blocked the use of domestic instruments by domestic researchers.
Third, foreign instrument importers, driven by the interests of the foreign instrument marketing to the domestic units at the same time, will encourage all units of the state to engage in "production and sales access permit" to raise the domestic sales threshold of the instrument. The access permit has never been used for foreign instruments. There is no need for foreign instruments to enter China.
Combat the monopoly of foreign companies to support the localization of scientific and technological achievements Grassroots scientific research personnel summarize the foreign monopoly enterprises’ domestic strangulation of self-innovative enterprises into eight categories: public opinions, intellectual property rights, periodicals, tenders, comparative experiments, joint ventures, price cuts, production and sales Access permit. Liu Jianguo said: "From these means of foreign companies, we can see that monopoly foreign companies not only have strong financial and technical strength, but also are very good at using group-style operations such as discourse rights and channel rights."
Li Ji believes that to support self-innovative enterprises against foreign monopoly, the country must issue a licence because the overall victory of this battle without smoke, involves the country's major economic interests, national defense security and national sustainable development capabilities.
He put forward three suggestions: First, for scientific and technological achievements that have independent intellectual property rights and can achieve localization and break the monopoly, the government will use the directory to publicize it. Second, for localized equipment entering the government's catalog, the government should bid separately for procurement, and give a tilt to the proportion of financial allocations. Third, the access system adopted by various departments shall strictly check whether the imported instruments use the same method, so that the localized instruments and foreign instruments are in the same starting line.
