Foresighted Japanese companies and media have realized that China's "new infrastructure" on the one hand means a huge opportunity for the next step, and on the other hand it also provides a valuable precedent for Japan's future post-epidemic economic recovery.
In April, following China, Europe and the United States, Japan gradually felt the positive impact of the new coronary pneumonia epidemic. Like China two months ago, the epidemic has become an overwhelming topic in Japanese media and social media.
But even in such a "big epidemic", Japanese people of insight, especially business people who have been operating in China for many years, still notice that China has not only taken the lead out of the impact of the epidemic, but also A new infrastructure project with 5G networks, data centers, new energy vehicles, and medical system upgrades as the core content has emerged.
According to the author's understanding, one of Japan's most important investment companies, Mitsubishi Corporation, China, followed this latest trend for the first time, and has compiled a detailed report on related industries and submitted it to the head office.
At the time when some media speculated that "Japanese companies withdrew their capital from China", the head of Mitsubishi Corporation China, who had been deeply involved in China for many years, told the author that they were "very concerned" about the new infrastructure.
The chairman of Hitachi Group, a leading Japanese manufacturing company, also clearly stated to the media that he noticed that China had successfully suppressed the spread of the epidemic with rapid action and created a "scientific epidemic prevention and control system." They would pay attention to this Follow-up progress.
At present, the focus of comprehensive newspapers such as "Asahi Shimbun" and "Yomiuri Shimbun" reporting on China is still the epidemic itself. But more professional financial media, such as the well-known "Toyo Economic Weekly", took the lead and reported in more detail on China's economic recovery strategy in the "post-epidemic era."
On April 8th, the online version of Toyo Economic Weekly published an article by columnist Xichao Haotai-"The Blueprint for the Chinese Economy to Recover after the Lifting of the Forbidden City in Wuhan".
Xicun said that after the unblocking of Wuhan, China will once again play the role of "world factory", and the new infrastructure will be an important promoter of China's economic recovery.
In the article, Nishimura specifically mentioned Huang Qifan's view that the international industrial chain will be reorganized after the epidemic spreads globally, and reminded Japanese readers to pay attention to the future of the four regions of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, the Yangtze River Delta, Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Circles. "Integrated development" of infrastructure and data economy.
Xicun believes that in terms of "software", China is perfecting the free trade zone planning and economic circle integration policies; in terms of "hardware", China will invest heavily to promote new infrastructure projects such as 5G networks and data center construction. At the same time, a new generation of information technology and high-end equipment manufacturing center cities are also being accelerated. These "soft and hard" measures will comprehensively improve the overall level of China's economy.
How to revive the economy after the epidemic will be a worldwide challenge and problem. At present, major European and American countries and Japan are still deeply involved in the fight against epidemics. China should be the first country in the world to propose specific plans and have begun to implement them.
Foresighted Japanese companies and media have realized that on the one hand, China's new infrastructure means huge opportunities for the next step, and on the other hand, it also provides a valuable precedent for Japan's future post-epidemic economic recovery, which deserves special attention and attention.
