Chinese industrial designs are definitely garnering more global attention -- thanks to consumer brands like Xiaomi and Huawei. But is the industry improving in substance, as well as style? How can better industrial designs propel manufacturing upward? Remember the search for the MH370 wreckage and how that painfully long it was? This flyimager, a new underwater robot, is set to make undersea searches easier and faster. And it's 100% Chinese designed. The man behind this design award candidate -- Fang Li, is a firm believer in the winning combination of Chinese talent and research infrastructure with international partnerships. "The only thing is not made here is the sonar, bought in US, everything else here. If I test in US, cost a fortune. Here so very easy. When I do test, go in Uni test pool, or pressure vessel, they allow us to use it for free," he said. Yan Feng, who heads up digital innovation research at China’s top arts institute -- says designing for the world’s workshop --needs cooler heads. "For Chinese companies there’s too much temptation, they try to cover all bases, the brand, users, awards, products, so they’re not very dedicated. In the US, some people are still doing more focused, vertical things," he said. "This will be next step, china diff reality, have to produce so many things quickly, no time to think. Beautiful to look at. But in Europe, social or environmental impact. This is the big potential for China. Something to better society," said Fabian Furrer, president, Int'l Dept, Dongdao Design. The love affair between Chinese companies and design awards is blossoming. 10% of this year’s red dot awards are won by Chinese companies. Submissions to the 2016 red star awards are at a record high of 6000 works. "Now the awards go to more Chinese companies, they’re needed by Chinese companies, to attract more consumers, it’s also good for the Chinese manufacturing industry. It's a two-way relationship," Yan Feng said. "The red star award also comes to us, for judges. We see more judges from different disciplines. The trend is towards flattening out, decentralization." The downside to winning awards is more pressure from copycats. Dongdao design uses legal protection. "IPR is a troubling issue, we often see…our students’ works are copied, even prototypes for factories or design houses get copied in under a week. This for China is a long journey," Yan Feng said. Tech veteran Fang Li has an unusual attitude to others stealing his ideas. "My team, patent here…there…to me meaningless. If I have idea, someone recognizes my innovation, make it happen, thank you, save my time," he said. Fang Li may be an outlier, but it speaks to the tough manufacturing environment in China -- which is forcing companies to innovate or die--and design has to catch up. 本栏目更多同类内容 扫码关注和谐英语微信公众号,第一时间获取最新学习资料 或公众号搜索myhxen 上一篇 英国脱欧的不确定性 下一篇 里约奥运会安保人员增加 相关文章 中国引领全球专利申请全球健康促进大会在上海开幕英国在全球自由贸易中的领导地位三星全球停止销售Note72016全球竞争力排名报告出炉 中国大陆仍排28位奥巴马谈论全球治理全球学者关注G20峰会《全球华语大词典》将走出国门G20关注世界经济和金融中国刺激全球经济新增长
