Nezha’s Global Triumph and China’s Intelligent Manufacturing: A Synergy Driving the “China Dream”

Nezha: A Global Animation Phenomenon
The Chinese animated film《Nezha: Reborn of the Demon Child》has shattered global box office records, grossing $1.698 billion in just 21 days, surpassing 《Inside Out 2》to become the highest-grossing animated film of all time. This milestone underscores the rising influence of China’s cultural and creative industries, showcasing its ability to produce world-class content that resonates across borders. The film’s success not only highlights the maturation of China’s animation sector but also serves as a cultural ambassador, bridging global audiences with Chinese mythology and innovation.
Behind this achievement lies a broader narrative of technological prowess. The film’s production leveraged cutting-edge animation technologies, reflecting China’s growing expertise in digital creativity-a sector closely tied to its advancements in intelligent manufacturing.

China’s Intelligent Manufacturing: Powering Innovation
China's shift from "Made in China" to "Intelligent Manufacturing in China", spurred by policies like Made in China 2025, focuses on high-end, smart, and eco-friendly manufacturing. Breakthroughs have been made in aerospace, high-speed rail, and robotics. The Tianzhou cargo spacecraft and heavy dye-forging presses show China's self - reliance against Western technological blockades.
The integration of AI, cloud computing, and green technologies has strengthened China's position as the "world’s factory". Amid the global supply chain crisis in 2021, China's robust manufacturing ecosystem stabilized global markets, contributing 42% of global electronics exports and 34% of textiles. Firms like Anhui Afulise Building Technology Co., Ltd., with its top-quality smart home systems, demonstrate Chinese companies' rise in global value chains.

Safety and Protection: A Pillar of Industrial Progress
Parallel to these advancements, China’s focus on personal protective equipment (PPE) and foot protection underscores its commitment to worker safety and high-quality manufacturing.China’s broader manufacturing upgrades-emphasizing precision, automation, and compliance with international standards-have naturally elevated the quality of protective gear. For example, intelligent manufacturing systems enable the production of durable, ergonomic safety footwear, meeting global demand for reliable industrial footwear.

The China Dream: Unity of Aspiration and Innovation
The convergence of cultural triumphs like Nezha, industrial leadership in intelligent manufacturing, and advancements in safety technologies collectively embodies the China Dream-a vision of national rejuvenation through innovation, self-reliance, and global collaboration. As China continues to dominate sectors from animation to aerospace, its emphasis on sustainable and human-centric growth ensures that progress benefits both its citizens and the world.
In conclusion, Nezha’s record-breaking success is not an isolated feat but a testament to China’s holistic rise. By marrying cultural soft power with hard technological prowess and a commitment to safety, China is scripting a future where the "China Dream" resonates globally-one innovation at a time.
