Understanding the “New New Three”: The Storage Infrastructure Powering China’s Advanced Manufacturing

Recently, the term “new new three”, an emerging industry buzzword that has gained recognition in authoritative discussions, has continued to attract attention as a key lens through which to understand China’s high-quality economic transformation. From traditional foreign trade to advanced manufacturing, China’s industries have undergone three rounds of transformation and upgrading, with each wave reshaping the key drivers of industrial development. This evolution offers a glimpse into the direction of today’s technology industries while highlighting the foundations on which hard-tech enterprises build their competitiveness.

Three Waves of Industrial Transformation: From “Selling Labor” to “Selling Innovation”

The “old three” relied on labor, the “new three” on industrial chains, while the “new new three” increasingly depend on technological and innovation capabilities.

In the early stages, the “old three”, clothing, furniture and home appliances, aid the foundation for China’s manufacturing sector by building up initial production capacity. The subsequent “new three” , new energy vehicles, lithium-ion batteries and solar cells, reached an export scale of nearly RMB 1.3 trillion, helping China establish a leading position in global green manufacturing. Now, the emerging “new new three”, artificial intelligence, robotics and innovative drugs, are taking industrial upgrading to a new level.

According to an analysis by Xinhua Net, the most significant transformation represented by the “new new three” is its departure from the traditional logic of goods trade, shifting from “selling products” to “selling technology, systems and capabilities.” 

Domestic open-source large models have recorded more than 10 billion cumulative downloads, industrial robotics businesses have expanded into 141 countries and regions worldwide, and the value of overseas licensing transactions for innovative drugs has exceeded the RMB 100 billion level.

Behind these figures lies a comprehensive upgrade in data volumes, computing-power requirements and storage capabilities across industries. The deployment of advanced industrial innovation increasingly depends on the high-frequency read and write of massive datasets, long-term data retention and reliable archiving. The visible transformation of industries is, in essence, being continuously supported by an invisible storage infrastructure.

Building the Digital Storage Foundation for the “New New Three”

As a semiconductor storage enterprise deeply engaged in the innovation ecosystem spanning Hong Kong and Shenzhen, JinTech Semiconductor is closely aligned with the development of the “new new three.” Leveraging its integrated capabilities in storage products and customized solutions, JinTech supports advanced manufacturing and digital innovation, helping bridge the final link between technological development and industrial application.

As artificial intelligence, advanced industrial control and intelligent robotics continue to expand into new industrial applications, JinTech draws on its end-to-end integration capabilities to develop storage solutions tailored to industrial environments. These solutions are designed to support the performance and reliability of critical data read/write operations and long-term data retention, enabling intelligent equipment to make decisions based on stable and reliable data.

Meanwhile, ALYNCE, JinTech’s consumer brand, provides high-performance SSDs and Creator SSD storage products designed to support the rapid transfer and management of large volumes of data, including large-model content, experimental datasets, extensive image and video files, and AAA game resources. By combining high capacity with high-speed data transfer, ALYNCE helps creators, researchers and gamers manage demanding storage requirements with greater ease.

From the “old three” to the “new three” and now the “new new three,” the continued evolution of China’s foreign-trade portfolio reflects the accelerated development of new quality productive forces and the country’s progress toward high-quality development.

Looking ahead, JinTech will remain focused on the semiconductor storage sector, continuously advancing its technologies and refining its products to build a solid and reliable storage foundation. As China’s technology industries continue to upgrade, JinTech will provide storage support for emerging applications across industries and contribute to the advancement of Chinese advanced manufacturing toward higher-value segments of global value chains.
