Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Commercial Aerospace Industry Belt The Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Commercial Aerospace Industry Belt includes four major industrial clusters: Beijing Haidian, Beijing Yizhuang, Tianjin, and Hebei Xiongan. Among them, the First and Fifth Institutes of the Aerospace Science and Technology Group are the industrial core of the development of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei commercial aerospace industry belt, and have hatched the &#8220;State Grid Constellation&#8221; led by China Star Network in Xiongan, Hebei. As the &#8220;core chain master&#8221; of the regional industry, it has attracted many industrial chain enterprises to settle in, forming the Hebei Xiongan satellite Internet industry cluster. 2. Yangtze River Delta Commercial Aerospace Industry Belt The Yangtze River Delta Commercial Aerospace Industry Belt mainly includes nine industrial clusters: Anhui Bengbu, Anhui Hefei, Shanghai Minhang, Shanghai Songjiang, Shanghai Lingang, Jiangsu Nanjing, Jiangsu Wuxi, Jiangsu Suzhou, and Zhejiang Hangzhou. Among them, Shanghai Minhang Rocket Manufacturing Industry Cluster, Shanghai Songjiang Satellite Internet Industry Cluster, and Anhui Hefei Commercial Satellite Industry Cluster are the &#8220;technical highlands&#8221; for commercial aerospace development in the region. Relying on the overall design and manufacturing capabilities of Shanghai Aerospace and Shanghai micro-satellites, Shanghai has hatched the &#8220;Thousand Sails Constellation&#8221; led by Yuanxin Satellite, which is the second pole of China&#8217;s commercial aerospace industry facing the &#8220;Star Network&#8221; from the north to the south. 3. Greater Bay Area Commercial Aerospace Industry Belt The Greater Bay Area Commercial Aerospace Industry Belt mainly includes two major industrial clusters: Guangzhou, Guangdong and Shenzhen, Guangdong. Mainly relying on Guangzhou&#8217;s traditional electronics manufacturing industry capabilities and Shenzhen&#8217;s information industry foundation to attract commercial aerospace companies, it is an important potential area for the future development of China&#8217;s commercial aerospace application industry. Among them, Guangzhou, Guangdong, takes advantage of the phased array radar and satellite communication payload manufacturing industries and has attracted China Aerospace and Galaxy Power to settle in Nansha to create an industrial structure integrating satellites and arrows. Shenzhen Commercial Aerospace mainly uses the &#8220;Weijing-1&#8221; constellation built by Shenzhen Dongfanghong as its core industrial chain, and mainly develops satellite applications and aerospace information industries. 4. Western Commercial Aerospace Industry Belt China\u2019s Western Commercial Aerospace Industry Belt covers Shaanxi, Sichuan, and Chongqing, and mainly includes four major industrial clusters: Chengdu, Sichuan, Mianyang, Sichuan, Xi\u2019an, Shaanxi, and Liangjiang New Area, Chongqing. The core of the western commercial aerospace industry mainly originated from the &#8220;third-line construction&#8221; movement that emerged in the 1960s. After the 1990s, a commercial aerospace industry layout featuring Xi&#8217;an Aerospace Power and Sichuan Communications Electronics was formed. At present, the commercial aerospace industry in the western region uses Sichuan Guoxing Aerospace\u2019s \u201cStar Computing Plan\u201d and China Science and Technology Xiguang\u2019s \u201cXiguang-1\u201d as the core chain owners of the industrial chain. Meishan Huantian Intelligence is also actively deploying the remote sensing satellite constellation \u201cTianfu Constellation\u201d. 5. Decentralized commercial aerospace industry clusters In addition to the 19 industrial clusters distributed in the four major industrial belts, there are also 9 decentralized industrial clusters in Jiuquan in Gansu, Changchun in Jilin, Haiyang in Shandong, Jinan in Shandong, Hebi in Henan, Wuhan in Hubei, Zhuzhou in Hunan, Guiyang in Guizhou, and Wenchang in Hainan. Among them, Jiuquan, Haiyang, and Wenchang relied on the resources of the local space launch sites to establish final assembly, testing, and supporting enterprises, forming characteristic industrial clusters; the aerospace industry foundations of Zhuzhou and Guiyang originated from the &#8220;third-line construction&#8221; movement like the western aerospace industry belt; Hebi and Jinan relied on local financial planning to attract manufacturing industries that overflowed from the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei industrial belt; Wuhan has The central region has the best aerospace industry foundation, using the scientific and technological resources of Sanjiang Aerospace, FiberHome Communications, China Information Technology Group, and Wuhan University to develop an integrated industry layout of satellites and arrows; Jilin relies on the Changchun Institute of Optics and Mechanics to incubate China&#8217;s first commercial satellite company Changguang Satellite. Its core chain owner &#8220;Jilin-1&#8221; is currently the largest commercial remote sensing satellite constellation in the country. <\/p>\n<p>02<\/p>\n<p>What other \u201cdilemmas\u201d need to be overcome?<\/p>\n<p> Before discussing the &#8220;dilemma&#8221; of China&#8217;s commercial aerospace industry layout, let&#8217;s first understand what is the difference between commercial aerospace and traditional aerospace? Traditional aerospace is an industry closely related to national security. In the past few decades, its development has been to complete &#8220;national missions.&#8221; Moreover, due to the high barriers, high risks and high costs of aerospace activities, the first priority of all aerospace activities is to &#8220;ensure success&#8221;. Single products and trial production cycles are long, there are many redundant designs, and labor and test costs are high. This not-for-profit model is different from the underlying logic of commercial aerospace. Entering the era of commercial aerospace, the aerospace industry has ushered in an important &#8220;value orientation&#8221; change. The first thing to consider in all commercial activities is cost. At the same time, to develop the commercial market, spacecraft and rockets must change from handicrafts to industrial products on the assembly line. In addition to technical factors such as design, the most important factor affecting industrial production costs is the configuration of production factors. All production activities must be closer to the &#8220;market&#8221;. Where the market is, production will be there. For example, the southeast coast, as a low-latitude area, is the best area for rocket launch and recovery activities. Then the research and development, manufacturing, assembly, warehousing, logistics, etc. of rockets and satellites must be as close as possible to the launch area to reduce the cost of production activities. From the perspective of market-oriented allocation of production factors, there are still two major problems in the layout of China&#8217;s commercial aerospace industry. First, the allocation of industrial resources is unreasonable. For example, the Yangtze River Delta region, which mainly produces rockets and satellites, lacks launch sites, and the distance between the R&#038;D and manufacturing bases of most enterprises is too far, making coordination difficult. Second, the industrial development in various regions is highly overlapping. For example, Shandong, Henan, Sichuan, Hubei and other places have proposed the goal of &#8220;building an integrated satellite and rocket industrial chain&#8221; in their policy planning, and cannot develop characteristic aerospace industries according to local conditions. The main reasons for the problem are: first, the main resources of the industry are still in the hands of traditional aerospace, and marketization is not the main consideration in the layout; second, the current entrepreneurs in the domestic commercial aerospace field still mainly go to sea by traditional aerospace enterprises and institutions, and research and development are mainly concentrated in Beijing and Xi&#8217;an. and other inland areas, while manufacturing construction is concentrated in areas with developed manufacturing and transportation such as the eastern coast, resulting in a mismatch; third, industrial agglomeration is mostly based on local government &#8220;planning&#8221;, and various localities have attracted a large number of commercial aerospace companies in urgent need of &#8220;funds&#8221; through policy support, industrial fund investment and other means. China&#8217;s commercial aerospace industry has only developed in the past 10 years. As a hard technology field with a high &#8220;threshold&#8221;, the construction of the commercial aerospace industry still has a long way to go.
