Domestically Produced Ultrapure Water Systems Are Keeping Pace with the Times, Making a Strong Statement About Chinese Brands

This summer, Chinese audiences were captivated by the film *Ne Zha*. According to Maoyan box office data, *Ne Zha* surpassed 3 billion yuan in box office revenue in just 14 days after its release, and by its 19th day, it had exceeded 100 million viewers, becoming the first animated film in mainland China to achieve this milestone since records began. The transformation of Chinese animation from initial skepticism to its current status as a source of visual feasts and widespread acclaim reminds us of the development history of my country's instrument industry.

I. Like domestic animation, the rise of domestic ultrapure water systems has not been smooth.

Early on, pure water technology primarily employed methods such as chemical purification and distillation. Later, ion exchange and RO reverse osmosis membranes emerged as purification technologies abroad. With technological advancements, the requirements for source water in pure water systems have decreased, resulting in increasingly better pure or ultrapure water quality, making RO pure water systems far superior in quality. Due to a late start, my country's pure water equipment technology lagged behind foreign companies. Against this backdrop, Chinese national enterprises persevered, overcoming numerous challenges and focusing on innovation and research. Through relentless persistence and effort, they finally broke the monopoly in core technology areas and are now comparable to ultrapure water equipment produced by foreign companies.

Furthermore, in the past, government agencies and companies would specify "only imported instruments" when purchasing new equipment, directly excluding domestically produced instruments and denying them even a chance to prove themselves. However, with the continuous growth and innovative development of domestic instruments, government agencies no longer solely consider imported products when purchasing equipment. Instead, only a few accept bids for imported products, while the majority choose domestic instruments.

Not only ultrapure water machines, but other instruments and equipment also faced a monopoly by foreign companies. However, those in the instrument industry did not give up. Instead, they chose to go against the tide, absorbing the advanced experience of foreign companies and continuously innovating and developing, enabling domestic instruments to gain a foothold in the market. On the road to the rise of domestic instruments, Chinese national enterprises have gained their own market share.

II. Standing at the Forefront: A Flourishing Instrument Industry

Science and technology are the primary productive forces, and innovation is the soul of a nation. To regain its voice in the domestic instrument industry, Chinese enterprises of all sizes are actively improving their technological and innovative capabilities. Through technological innovation, they are continuously enhancing the quality and service value of their instruments to meet market demands, thereby strengthening the instrument industry, expanding its competitiveness, and realizing the industrialization of domestically produced instruments.

In the past, familiar foreign companies were often mentioned, but with the continuous progress and development of my country's instrument industry, the names of Chinese national enterprises have also come to mind. After years of development, Sichuan Ulupure has strived to adjust its product structure and contribute to the development of my country's instrument industry.

With the continuous improvement of people's living standards and technological levels, instruments are becoming increasingly advanced and diverse. Against the backdrop of strong national support for the development and growth of domestic instrument enterprises, numerous small and medium-sized instrument companies have flourished, forming a large and dynamic group of enterprises. This has injected vitality and a "balancing agent" into the instrument industry, playing an immeasurable role in promoting economic growth, creating employment, and driving technological innovation.

"Ne Zha" will not be a unique success story in my country's animation industry, but rather the beginning of a prosperous era for Chinese animated films. Just like the animation industry, we believe that my country's domestically produced instruments will also experience a flourishing development, just like domestic animation, and through continuous efforts, they will amaze the world and forge their own brands.
