Jin Zhuanglong
On January 31st, 2024, when presiding over the 11th collective study in the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader emphasized that "developing new-quality productive forces is the inherent requirement and an important focus to promote high-quality development" and "we must continue to do a good job in this great article, so as to accelerate the development of new-quality productive forces". In the new era and new journey, it is the key task to comprehensively promote the construction of a strong country and the great cause of national rejuvenation with Chinese modernization and realize new industrialization. The industrial and information system should thoroughly study and implement the important exposition of the Supreme Leader General Secretary on developing new-quality productive forces, firmly grasp the key task of realizing new-type industrialization, accelerate the development of new-quality productive forces, further promote new-type industrialization, promote high-quality development, and provide a solid material and technical foundation for Chinese modernization.
First, deeply understand the significance of accelerating the development of new quality productive forces to further promote new industrialization.
Since 2023, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has made a series of important expositions on developing new-quality productive forces, and profoundly answered major theoretical and practical questions such as "what is new-quality productive forces, why should we develop new-quality productive forces, and how to develop new-quality productive forces". General Secretary of the Supreme Leader’s important exposition on developing new quality productive forces has deepened our Party’s understanding of the law of the development of productive forces with a new vision, made original contributions to the development of Marxist productive forces theory, further enriched the economic thought of the Supreme Leader, and provided an action guide and fundamental follow-up for promoting new industrialization.
The only way to realize the transformation from a manufacturing power to a manufacturing power. New quality productivity means a qualitative leap in productivity, which is a subversive change to the traditional mode of production. Industrialization is the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s unswerving goal. Since the founding of New China, the Communist Party of China (CPC) has United and led the people of the whole country to vigorously promote socialist industrialization, and gradually established an independent and relatively complete industrial system. It took only a few decades to complete the industrialization process that developed countries have gone through for hundreds of years, and successfully embarked on an industrialization road suitable for China’s national conditions. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core, China’s new industrialization development has made historic achievements, the unique advantages of complete industrial system, many varieties and large scale have become more prominent, the industrial scientific and technological innovation capability has been greatly improved, the industrial structure has been continuously optimized and upgraded, and the strength and competitiveness of enterprises have been significantly enhanced. At present, China’s industrial development is at an important juncture from big to strong, the problem of insufficient development imbalance is still outstanding, the manufacturing industry is still at the low end of the global value chain as a whole, and there are many shortcomings and weaknesses in key core technologies, industrial basic capabilities and high-end product supply. To further promote new industrialization, push China’s industry from the low-end to the high-end and build a manufacturing power, the fundamental thing is to completely get rid of the traditional economic growth mode and productivity development path, create new advantages and enhance new kinetic energy. In the new era and new journey, we must put the development of new quality productivity in a prominent position, promote quality change, efficiency change and power change, and improve total factor productivity.Inject more powerful impetus into promoting new industrialization.
It is an inevitable choice to seize the opportunity of a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation. Every major scientific and technological revolution in human society has brought about great improvement of productivity and optimization and upgrading of industrial structure, and promoted industrialization to a higher level. At present, a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation is advancing by leaps and bounds, global scientific and technological innovation is unprecedentedly intensive and active, and subversive technologies in the fields of information technology, manufacturing technology, new material technology and new energy technology are constantly emerging. The combination of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, Internet and big data with traditional technologies has driven major technological changes characterized by green, intelligence and integration, spawned a number of new formats with great influence, promoted the continuous optimization of factors and their combinations, and promoted productivity. The new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation in the world has formed a historic intersection with China’s transformation of development mode. We are faced with a once-in-a-lifetime historical opportunity and a severe challenge that the gap may be widened. In the new era and new journey, we must firmly grasp innovation as the first driving force for development, accelerate the upgrading of industrial scientific and technological innovation capability, deepen the reform of system and mechanism, develop and expand strategic emerging industries, lay out future industries in a forward-looking way, make full use of advanced and applicable technologies such as digital intelligence technology and green technology to transform and upgrade traditional industries, continuously promote the development of new quality productive forces to make new progress and breakthroughs, and push the development of new industrialization to a new level.
The urgent need to improve the toughness and safety level of industrial chain supply chain. It is an important feature that the supply chain of industrial chain cannot fall off at a critical moment. Today, the world is experiencing a great change that has never happened in a century. The global industrial development and division of labor have been profoundly adjusted, unilateralism and protectionism have obviously increased, industrial chain restructuring, supply chain reconstruction and value chain reshaping have been deepened, and international competition in the manufacturing sector has become increasingly fierce. In particular, the United States has engaged in "small courtyard and high wall" and "decoupling and breaking the chain", which has continuously intensified the containment and suppression of China’s technological progress and industrial upgrading, and the risk of security and stability of China’s industrial chain supply chain has increased. Accelerating the development of new quality productivity, leading industrial innovation with scientific and technological innovation, strengthening key core technology research, promoting the emergence of original and subversive innovations, and giving birth to new industries, new models and new kinetic energy can significantly enhance the resilience and competitiveness of the industrial chain supply chain. In the new era and new journey, we must work hard to develop new quality productivity, strengthen the deep integration of innovation chain’s industrial chain, fight the tough battle of upgrading the industrial base and modernizing the industrial chain, effectively prevent and resolve the risk challenges, and ensure that the new industrialization will go deep, solid and far-reaching.
