Date：2021/3/18

1. Semiconductor field: Japan

Although Japan's semiconductor industry has experienced a decline, it still has a big advantage compared to China. Toshiba has a technological advantage in memory that is at least five years ahead of China, and semiconductor materials are also ahead of China.

2. AI field: China is strong

In terms of AI, China's development is relatively comprehensive, basically covering all industries, while Japan is mainly focused on image recognition. The number of AI papers in China is 7 times that of Japan.

3. Display field: Japan

China’s BOE’s small LCD screens for mobile phones have already occupied the third place in the world. Japan’s Sony has more advantages in the field of TVs and large displays. China’s production scale is larger, and Japan’s technology is even more advanced.

Fourth, the field of smart phones: China is strong

The world's mobile phone sales ranking is Samsung, Apple, Huawei, OPPO, Xiaomi, and Sony ranking sixth. China's integrated manufacturing-related industry chain is stronger, and Japan is currently only leading in some parts and components.

5. Battery field: China is strong

The global automotive power battery installed capacity is ranked by CATL, Panasonic, BYD, and LG Chem. The top 20 Chinese companies account for 16 seats, and the growth rate of Chinese companies is faster.

Sixth, the field of air-conditioning household and small and medium-sized air-conditioning: Japan

Technically, Chinese companies such as Gree have caught up, but they are much inferior to Japanese companies in large-scale air conditioners and overseas markets.

7. Autonomous driving technology: China is strong

The autonomous driving technology developed by Chinese companies such as Baidu has begun to enter the implementation stage, and Japanese companies are very cautious about autonomous driving technology, and their participation is not high. Technically, China has already formed an advantage.

8. New energy vehicles: China is strong

China's sales of new energy vehicles account for 50% of the world's new energy vehicles, 90% of which are domestic brands. With the strong support of the state, Chinese companies already have a competitive advantage.

9. Robots and working machinery: Japan

The field of industrial robots is basically dominated by Japan and Germany. China is currently the world’s largest importer of industrial machinery, and exports only rank fifth in the world. Japan uses 95% of high-end robots for export.

10. Network platform: China is strong

Representative Chinese companies include Bytedance, Tencent, and Alibaba. Japan currently has no representative Internet companies. Most of the market is occupied by American Internet companies, and their development has lagged far behind China.
