Ever wondered how lasers made in the Chinese mainland went from being assembled with imported screws to shining at the forefront of global tech? 🌟
CGTN reporter He Jingyi paid a visit to HGTECH in Optics Valley in Wuhan, in the Chinese mainland, to uncover the secrets behind this leap. Here’s the lowdown:
- Breaking Technical Barriers: Early on, many key components were imported. Engineers tackled this by investing heavily in R&D, gradually mastering optics, control systems, and precision manufacturing. Today, homegrown lasers match – and often surpass – overseas rivals.
- Control Over Core Parts: By focusing on self-made modules like high-precision screws and lenses, companies have cut costs, reduced dependency, and improved quality. Think of it as assembling your own tech Avengers team 🦸♂️🦸♀️!
- Unified National Market: The Chinese mainland’s vast demand became a “training ground.” From electric vehicles to aerospace, multiple industries fuel growth, providing constant feedback and scale. This “dual circulation” strategy leverages domestic strength while boosting exports.
Today, laser tech from the Chinese mainland powers everything from EV battery welding to satellite components. 🚗🛰️ The unified market not only sharpens competitive edges but also builds firms ready to conquer markets worldwide.
As dual circulation gains momentum in 2026, keep an eye on this sector—it’s a glowing example of how strategic focus and home-grown innovation can illuminate global success! ✨
