Socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era, and the major social contradictions in China have been transformed into the contradiction between the people's growing needs for a better life and the unbalanced and inadequate development. Facing the current practical problems and contradictions, we should strive to solve the problems of unbalanced and inadequate development, achieve balanced development, and let the people have a sense of gain, happiness and security, live a better life, and build a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way. This is the goal of our party.

The ceramic industry we are engaged in has developed at a high speed in the past decades, with the output and export volume ranking first in the world. The variety of designs, matching level, product quality, equipment level and production technology level have been significantly improved, but there are also some problems. The imbalance and insufficiency of the ceramic industry are also prominent

First, the rapid development, blind development and low-level repeated construction lead to the increase of production capacity, sharp increase of output and increase of inventory; a large number of natural resources and precious energy are consumed, and most of the products produced are low-grade products with low prices and low profitability.

Second, it pays too much attention to economic growth and expansion, but ignores environmental protection issues, which brings a certain degree of pollution and damage to the ecological environment (water, air, vegetation). Ceramic industry is defined as "three high (high pollution, high energy consumption, high resource consumption)" industry, which is widely criticized for "high pollution".

Third, the development of each region is unbalanced, and the product quality is uneven. As a whole, there is a big gap between the quality level and the world famous brands. Specifically, due to the different historical and cultural accumulation, production scale, equipment level, technical level, personnel quality and management level of enterprises in different regions, the product quality varies greatly.

The product quality of some large enterprises with a long history of ceramic culture is similar to that of world famous brands, while the product quality of some small and medium-sized enterprises is relatively poor. Due to the poor product quality of small and medium-sized enterprises in some places, quality problems are frequently exposed in provincial and national sampling. For example, the water absorption, water seal, water consumption, water seal recovery and other indicators of sanitary ceramics, the dissolution of lead and cadmium, thermal shock and other indicators of daily ceramics are frequently unqualified items in random inspection.

Fourth, there are many ceramic enterprises and brands, but there are nameless brands. Lack of world famous brands and influential and powerful large enterprises. The value of existing corporate brands is still very low. The lack of confidence in Chinese products is the reason why people flocked to Japan in the past few years to clean toilet covers and other products.

Fifthly, the innovation ability of enterprises is generally weak, and there are few products with core competitiveness of their own intellectual property rights. There are few representative industry benchmark demonstration enterprises.

Sixth, for many years, the pursuit of production ignored quality, operation was not refined, and lack of craftsmanship. The outstanding performance is that there is still a gap in the physical quality of product appearance, and there are many small defects, which to some extent affect the product image of the enterprise and are not conducive to the founding of world-famous brands.

The 19th national congress put forward new ideas, goals and requirements. Under the guidance of the new development concept, to solve the problem of imbalance and inadequacy and meet the people's needs for a better life, we should vigorously promote supply side reform, change the mode of economic development, innovation driven, quality first, efficiency first, and achieve high-quality economic development.

In order to solve the problem of imbalance and insufficiency in the development of ceramic industry, we should take the following measures:

1. Accelerate integration and reorganization. We will raise the threshold for industry access, eliminate backward enterprises, and encourage the development of advantageous enterprises. Develop large groups and enterprises and become international enterprises. Improve the strength of enterprises, enhance competitiveness, enhance brand value, and build world famous brands.

2. We will no longer pursue production and development speed, but strive to achieve four changes: the change from high-speed growth to high-quality development, from made in China to created in China, from speed to quality in China, and from Chinese products to Chinese brands.

3. We should do a good job in scientific and technological innovation, strengthen energy conservation and emission reduction and waste utilization, pay attention to environmental protection, and promote the green, circular and sustainable development of the ceramic industry. Vigorously cultivate and develop resource-saving and environment-friendly "two type" enterprises, vigorously establish benchmark and demonstration enterprises, and lead the industry development. It is gratifying that Mona Lisa ceramic tiles, new Zhongyuan ceramics and other companies are ahead of the industry in terms of technological innovation, product innovation, standard innovation, energy conservation and emission reduction, clean production, etc., leading the development of the industry as a benchmark demonstration enterprise.

4. Improve the overall level of the industry and solve key technical problems. For example, the thermal shock of bone china products, sanitary ware blowdown, water leakage, air leakage and safety. Provide green, water-saving, safe and reliable ceramic products for the society, and make our contribution to meet the needs of the people for a better life.
