Japan is a small country with a small land area and poor geographical location, and is only a small country compared to the United States and Russia, which have vast territories. However, Japan has a strong presence in the world, not only in terms of economic glory, but also in terms of science and technology.
In addition to automobiles, lithography machines and other industries, Japan also has an extremely powerful industry, that is, steel smelting. In this area, Japan is much ahead of China, which will take many years to catch up.
Areas of surprise strength
I have to admit that Japan is unique in the field of steel smelting, in addition to supplying its own high-end industries, Japan's steel is also exported to foreign countries, and many countries have to import Japan's high-end steel when developing high-end industries.
The most common is automotive steel. Most of the high-end steel used in the production of automobiles has the shadow of Japan, which is either imported from Japan or produced by a joint venture company with Japan.
At present, Japan's production of stainless steel accounts for 33 percent of the world's total, and it truly achieves "three points in the world"! Unfortunately, the mainland is still relatively immature in this field and still does not have the competitiveness at present.
Japan can have such an advantage, relying on a large number of patents accumulated over a long period of time, with Japan's license, towers and steel mills in other countries can be built, and in this regard, European and American powers must also bow their eyebrows.
On this basis, many world-famous steel companies were born in Japan, such as Nippon Steel, Tokyo Seikatsuna, and Kobe Steel, which have accumulated a lot of technology and experience for a long time, which is very rare.
The famous Baosteel enterprise on the mainland was built with the assistance of Nippon Steel. At the time of the construction of Gaogang, the domestic steelmaking technology was not mature enough, and Nippon Steel sent many technicians to help Baosteel familiarize itself with steelmaking.
Nippon Steel technicians provided comprehensive guidance, from basic operations to production processes, as well as certain movements, gestures, and frequency of movements, and Baosteel's staff completed the basic technical accumulation.
There are so many cutting-edge iron and steel enterprises in Japan, which has naturally given birth to many world-famous military enterprises, such as Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Mitsubishi Electric and other military industries. Without exception, these military enterprises have great ties with Japan's steel enterprises.
As an island nation that does not produce iron ore, Japan is worthy of our respect for being able to achieve this level of steel smelting.
With the rise of China's manufacturing and China's infrastructure, the mainland's steel industry has also made great progress, and the total domestic steel production is far ahead in the world.
However, most of the steel produced in the mainland is crude steel, which can only be used in the fields of construction and civil enterprises, and is difficult to be used in precision industries.
The steel used in the precision industry is the steel that Japanese companies are good at refining. In the field of steel smelting, the Japanese laid out early, and they have long abandoned the manufacture of crude steel with meager profits and turned to the research of high-profit stainless steel.
After completing the technological breakthrough, Japan took advantage of the advantages to earn trade spreads, imported crude steel produced in the mainland, processed it into fine steel, and then sold it back to the mainland.
In a short period of time, it is difficult for mainland steel companies to catch up with this gap, because the advantages of Japanese steel companies are not achieved overnight, as early as the Meiji Restoration, Japan began the steel industry, and today, the accumulation of generations has been very deep.
Since the end of the Qing Dynasty, the mainland has been in turmoil for many years, and after the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was blocked by Western technology, and the steel industry was naturally not outstanding. After the reform and opening up, even though the mainland has learned Japan's advanced technology, there is still a big gap.
As an old industrial power, in addition to metallurgical technology, Japan has many world-leading technologies, and it is precisely with these technologies that Japan stands tall in today's world industry.
And the first?
The world's scientific and technological development is changing with each passing day, and if Japan only clings to its previous achievements, it will naturally not be able to have its current scientific and technological status, and there will be new breakthroughs in those new periods, which is the key to Japan's survival today.
In addition to the metallurgical industry, Japan's industrial robots are also the world's top, and occupy more than half of the world's market share, which is more exaggerated than the metallurgical industry!
The reason why Japan's industrial robots are developed is because of the excellent development of Japan's motor field and artificial intelligence field, and these two factors are also the key to the large-scale production of industrial robots.
Japan's industrial robots are the world's top, and the supporting high-end machine tools are still in the forefront of the world, Makino, Seimori Machine, Komatsu and other brands are world-renowned, laying a huge share for Japan.
Compared with industrial robots, Japan's optical instruments are more world-famous, Sony, Kodak and other brands are world-famous, even people who don't understand optical instruments have heard of these big names.
Most of the lenses for smartphones we use are made by Sony. Moreover, the large number of testing equipment in the hospital is also closely related to Japan. In these areas, there is still a big gap between China and Japan, and it will be difficult for the mainland to catch up with Japan in a short period of time.
In addition to these technology and physical industries, there is another industry that has a gap of at least several decades between China and Japan, and there is no hope of catching up, and that is the cultural industry and the game industry.
As we all know, Japan's anime industry is unique in the world, and anime and manga have a large audience around the world. Twenty years ago, Japanese animation swept the world, and anime such as "Dragon Ball" and "One Piece" were exported overseas, from Europe, America to East Asia, and countless young people were influenced by it.
And now, Japan has formed a fixed anime season, and every year in January, April, July, and October, there are a large number of new releases, not only to meet the needs of Japanese audiences, but also to export overseas and earn a lot of royalties.
What's even more admirable is that to this day, Japan can still make some classic anime, such as "Demon Slayer", "Attack on Titan", etc., these anime can always cause a high degree of discussion, and many fans also make videos for them, and take the initiative to increase the influence of these works on the Internet.
In terms of games, Japan is a leader, and Japanese game companies represented by Nintendo are leaders in the console game industry and have made a name for themselves in the international game market. No matter how computer and mobile games develop, Japan's gaming industry has always stood tall and gained a large number of fans every year.
In contrast, the animation industry in mainland China is a little immature. In recent years, there have been many adaptations of long-form anime in China, but most of these are popular in China, and there are too few works that can be spread abroad, let alone popular all over the world.
In addition, the audience of domestic animation is generally young, and the entire animation market lacks animation products suitable for adults to watch.
In the field of gaming, the gap between the mainland and Japan is even greater. I have a huge game company, but I don't have a good game creation environment, and a large number of well-publicized games are just a flash in the pan.
For so many years, only the mobile game "Genshin Impact" in China has swept Southeast Asia, and it is only with a huge player base that the game industry in the mainland has not declined.
In the field of games and anime, we can't see the possibility of surpassing Japan for the time being, so we can only learn from experience and make better works.
Many friends don't value these things, thinking that games and anime are just things that children are exposed to. However, when these products are sold abroad, they are all real money, and Japanese companies earn foreign exchange while also completing cultural exports, and we should also pay attention to this aspect.
epilogue
Japan's metal smelting industry has been leading for so long, has formed a very complete industrial chain, and the cooperation between enterprises is extremely high, and the steel mill can not only ensure the quality of each batch, but also adjust the size of the steel produced according to the needs of downstream companies.
As a result, Japan's steel mills have significantly reduced waste and improved the productivity of downstream companies, a result that we will not be able to catch up with easily.
In addition to ace metallurgical enterprises such as Baosteel, most steel mills in the mainland still do not meet Japan's technology, and most of the steel produced is crude steel, and it is difficult to reach a consistent standard for the quality of each batch, and the cooperation between upstream and downstream is still not smooth enough.
However, the mainland is trying its best to narrow this gap, and the mainland's general steel has reached the international level, as long as the problem of high-end steel refining is solved, the mainland can reduce a lot of technology that is stuck in the neck.
Moreover, Japan has not always been the leader, and there are many industries in the country that are gradually declining.
Most people can see that the tram is the future of various automotive industries, and high-tech companies in the United States and China have laid out the tram industry, such as Xiaomi, Huawei, Tesla and other companies. A wide variety of trams are gradually taking over the market.
However, Japan, as such an old automobile power, is in the long-term production of gasoline vehicles, and the response to the "future of electric cars in the new era" is very slow, and there is no progress, and at present, Japan's electric car research and development has lagged behind the world a lot.
It is a stone of the mountain, which can be used to attack jade, and those high-precision industrial technologies in Japan are all objects for us to learn and learn from. On this basis, the speed of scientific and technological development in the mainland is changing with each passing day, and I believe that in the near future, there will be more and more Chinese symbols of high-end industrial technology in the world!
