Experts: Talent shortage restricts the development of China's auto industry

At the 8th China (Changchun) International Automobile Expo, many people in the industry expressed their concern about the lack of talent in China’s auto industry and believed that the lack of talent is the primary bottleneck for the development of China’s auto industry.

“China has no shortage of funds and no shortage of markets. What is lacking most is technology, that is, talented people who have mastered technology.” Zhang Xiaoyu, executive vice president of the China Federation of Machinery Industry and president of the China Automotive Engineering Society, frankly stated.

Fu Yuwu, executive vice chairman and secretary-general of the Chinese Society of Automotive Engineers, said that the gap between the overall level of China’s autos and the international advanced level is first reflected in the technology. “The core technologies of China's auto industry are lagging far behind. Engines and automotive electronic devices Neither the active or passive safety systems have mastered the core technology,” said Fu Yuwu. “If China is to become a strong country in the world automotive industry, talent is the biggest bottleneck.”

Fu Yuwu also cited an example of automotive academic research. He said that FISITA's papers represent the level of development of international automotive technology to a certain extent, and Chinese auto engineers have never been awarded that year. The excellent paper award of the meeting. This reflects the problems in China's automotive researchers in terms of research and development, experience, and language.

According to Guan Xin, deputy director of the China Automotive Talent Association, the talent bottlenecks have largely constrained China’s auto industry from becoming bigger and stronger. Reflecting on China's automobile professional education, in fact, China does not lack quality education resources. However, there are many shortcomings in terms of the education system, personnel training methods, and corporate employment concepts. “Chinese companies should be brave enough to take on the social responsibility of cultivating talents. Cooperation between industry, universities, and research institutes should build a talent training environment that meets industrial needs and solves difficult situations,” said Guan Xin.
