description: "This article explores how China's manufacturing industry can achieve high-quality competitive advantages through the heterogeneous characteristics of productive services during the \"14th Five-Year Plan\" period. As China's manufacturing transitions from OEM and ODM to OBM, the investment in productive services has changed the traditional homogeneous production model and promoted the upgrade of brand manufacturing. The article emphasizes that leveraging digital technology and the heterogeneous characteristics of global services can better meet consumer demands, increase profit margins, and provide practical support for the transformation of Chinese manufacturing into Chinese creation and Chinese intelligence"

The two sessions that have attracted global attention further clarify that during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, China will focus on developing the real economy, develop new quality productivity according to local conditions, and promote the deep integration of technological innovation and industrial innovation, advanced manufacturing, and modern service industries.

"Made in China" has transitioned from OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) and ODM (Original Design Manufacturer) to OBM (Original Brand Manufacturer). It has shifted from homogeneous price competition to heterogeneous quality competition. The investment of productive services in "Made in China" fundamentally changes the profit model of homogeneous scale production, which lacks brands, research and development, marketing, and channels, transforming it from a follower-type processing manufacturing to a leader-type brand manufacturing of "Created in China."

The heterogeneous characteristics of new product research and development, design, branding, marketing, and after-sales service in productive services have completely changed the traditional homogeneous scale production profit model of "Made in China." It constructs a divergent value chain dominated by "Made in China" globally, fully utilizing the flexible operation model of virtual organizations, integrating high-quality productive services worldwide into the "Made in China" value chain. The intangible characteristics of productive services facilitate cross-border flow through digital technology, allowing China's service trade to expand under higher-level open policies. Through imports and exports, it can not only support the heterogeneous characteristics of "Made in China" + global services, thereby increasing profit margins, but also better meet the increasingly diverse consumer demands by fully utilizing the heterogeneous characteristics of global productive services, making it both marketable and profitable. During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, steadily advancing the specialization and high-end extension of China's productive services will provide effective practices for the advancement of "Made in China" to "Created in China" and "Intelligent Manufacturing in China" in the global value chain.

Thus, during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, increasing the investment of productive services in "Made in China" means matching heterogeneous characteristics with the traditional homogeneous scale production of "Made in China." In the smooth advancement of service-oriented manufacturing, it will transform the traditional scale profit model of "Made in China" into a range competition profit model of "Created in China" and "Intelligent Manufacturing in China," allowing traditional "Made in China" to obtain more high-quality excess profits, accelerating the deep integration of productive services and advanced manufacturing, and steadily promoting the modernization of China in a stable and far-reaching manner.
