[Abstract] The paper carries out an in-depth interpretation of Industry 4.0, analyzes the far-reaching implications that the tide of Industry 4.0 will bring to China's manufacturing sector, in particular the automotive industry, points out the universal misunderstandings of the Industry 4.0, and suggests clearly that we should think on Industry 4.0 more from the perspective of production rather than sales or service. On this basis, it stresses the necessity to throughly understand the notion from the national strategic height and expounds the inportance of national top-level design. Finally, the paper puts forward concrete suggestions for all parties concerned to make joint efforts in a bid to promote the realization of "wisdom in China" at an early date.
