China's laser technology sector is making significant strides, positioning itself among the world's top innovators. 🎉 Ma Xinqiang, a deputy to the 14th National People's Congress (NPC) and chairman of Huagong Technology, announced on Saturday that China has broken decades of foreign dominance in key laser technology areas.
Lasers play a crucial role in manufacturing, being integral to 70% of components in industries like smartphones and automotive production. Historically, China faced challenges due to foreign technology controls, but recent efforts have focused on domestic innovation to overcome these dependencies. Ma highlighted these advancements during a group interview ahead of the second plenary meeting of the third session of the 14th NPC.
Through relentless research and development, Huagong Technology has successfully produced laser welding equipment for car bodies, ending a 40-year reliance on imported solutions. 🌟 This breakthrough not only reduced equipment costs by over 40% but also set a new industry efficiency record—completing laser welding for a new energy vehicle body in just 43 seconds!
These innovations have been pivotal in supporting the domestic production of 45 million vehicles and have facilitated the development of over 100 specialized laser solutions for various industrial applications. 🚗🔧 As China continues to lead in laser technology, the future looks bright for both the domestic market and global collaborations.
