Obviously, even if the United States asks Switzerland to stop supplying machine tools to China, it will not affect the production scale of the existing J-20 fighter, because as a national heavyweight, China will inevitably make plans to replace production with other equipment after the supply of Swiss equipment is cut off.
Friends who are familiar with machine tools know that Swiss machine tools actually represent the advanced manufacturing level in Europe and even the world. This small country with a population of more than 8.5 million has dozens of world-class machine tool enterprises, and there are 2 1 company in the world's top 500 enterprises (data 20 19). Its output value accounts for nearly 5% of the global scale, and its machine tool export ranks sixth in the world.
And such a set of almost perfect data is attributed to the Swiss's rigorous and serious "craftsman spirit" and their persistence in the craftsman spirit. Many Swiss machine tool companies are invisible champions. For example, Switzerland has GF Archie Xia Mier, who is familiar with the die and high-end parts industry, Miquelao, a leading enterprise in the field of five-axis linkage and high-speed cutting, and many machine tool enterprises such as Seiki, Bao Mei, Xiao Bolin, Wilmingma Caudal, AFFOLTER, Tornos, etc.

After reading the above 13 introduction of Swiss machine tools, although our high-end machine tools are not as good as those in the west, we are also a big machine tool manufacturer and, more importantly, a big machine tool consumer. The past being big but not strong does not mean the future.
In fact, whether chips or high-precision machine tools, if some of our enterprises still adhere to the concept of "building is better than buying, buying is better than renting", then they will only be eliminated by the times in the end. As a manufacturing power in the world, China is also a country with the most complete industrial categories in the world. After we have developed to a certain extent, we must March into high-end equipment in various fields so as not to be banned by western countries.
