The rise of Japan has made the United States realize that manufacturing cannot be ignored

There is only sunset technology, no sunset industry. Due to its late start, the drying equipment industry belongs to the traditional manufacturing industry and is considered to be a sunset industry. This wrong positioning has led to a decline in the position of the US manufacturing industry in the international competitive landscape. More than half of the drying equipment in the United States needs to be imported. In the 1960s and 1970s, Japan introduced, absorbed and digested a large number of drying equipment technologies from Germany, the United States and other countries. In 2006, the output value of drying equipment reached 13.52 billion US dollars, ranking first in the world, and its exports were 6.89 billion US dollars, ranking second in the world. The rise of Japan has made the United States realize that the manufacturing industry cannot be ignored, and the United States has also begun to realize that the drying equipment industry is a strategic industry, not a sunset industry. The United States re-enacted policies and began to revive the drying equipment industry, which made the drying equipment industry in the United States begin to develop in recovery. In the United States, for some key industries such as petrochemicals, light industry, tobacco, etc., the government stipulates that only American-made drying equipment can be used. As of 2006, the production value of drying equipment in the United States was 3.63 billion US dollars, ranking 7th in the world, after Taiwan, China. The lessons of the United States in the drying equipment industry once again illustrate that 'there is only sunset technology, no sunset industry'. Since the 1990s, China's drying equipment industry has gradually begun to play an important role in China's economic development. In recent years, the leaders of the party and the state have visited drying equipment enterprises many times, and relevant national documents have also made plans for the drying equipment industry.
