603670-104 For subjective reasons
I talk about the subjective reasons, mainly from the user side to talk.
China’s industrial software market is small, to a certain extent, the enterprise itself does not pay attention to. When a developing country is in the following stage, the attention to design and development, product quality is far from enough, because the business focus is not comfortable here. The vast majority of Chinese enterprises attach the most importance to cost, followed by output. At this time, their demand for industrial software is not strong. To follow my usual analogy: beggars have no need for imperial chefs.

If you talk too much, they will think you are selfish and bluff-just as Bian Que sees Huan Gong of CAI said in the post. People who engage in software are often “the life of the earth and the heart of the sea” : they eat the life of gutter oil and worry about the heart of Zhongnanhai.
Hope for the future.

603670-104 There is, of course, some hope for the future. First of all, China’s market is growing, and people’s consciousness is changing. Secondly, the trade war will bring some positive benefits to domestic industrial software, and military-civilian integration may also be able to find a way out. Third, large private enterprises such as Huawei and BAT have the economic strength to engage in industrial software. A fourth possibility is to rely on “open source software” to take the edge off some foreign competitors. The fifth possibility is the combination of software and human services to play the advantage of cheap labor in China.
That is, of course, if the market can survive the fittest, not the other way around. This will depend on how reform of state-owned enterprises (soes) develops, since soes are the main market for high-end industrial software. Rich state-owned enterprises should also shoulder more social responsibilities and give more opportunities to domestic industrial software. Without the promotion of reform, industrial software will be as disappointing as the national football team.
