General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that it is necessary to “integrate scientific and technological innovation resources, lead the development of strategic emerging industries and future industries, and accelerate the formation of new productive forces.” Entering 2024, various localities and departments are accelerating technological breakthroughs to create “newness” and industrial upgrading to increase “quality”, jointly shaping new quality productivity and providing new impetus for high-quality economic development.

Not long ago, Heilongjiang formulated an “Action Plan for Accelerating the Formation of New Productivity in Heilongjiang Province” after more than three months of research and investigation. In this 30-page plan, the reporter noticed that the 24 key development industries proposed this year are more detailed than before. For example, “high-end equipment manufacturing” is divided into “industrial machine” and “offshore equipment” and other five sub-industries.

  Li Wenhua, deputy director of the Heilongjiang Provincial Department of Science and Technology:The purpose is to make our work more focused and targeted. In 2024, we will implement the General Secretary’s requirements and accelerate the formation of new quality productivity through these measures.

In September 2023, General Secretary Xi Jinping proposed “new quality productivity” for the first time during his inspection in Heilongjiang. He pointed out: “Actively cultivate strategic emerging industries such as new energy, new materials, advanced manufacturing, and electronic information, actively cultivate future industries, and accelerate the formation of New productive forces and enhanced new momentum for development.” At the Central Economic Work Conference held at the end of 2023, General Secretary Xi Jinping once again emphasized: “We must promote industrial innovation with scientific and technological innovation, especially disruptive and cutting-edge technologies to spawn new industries and new industries. model, new momentum, and the development of new productive forces.”

  Zhang Zhanbin, director of the Chinese Modernization Research Center of the Central Party School (National Academy of Administration):General Secretary Xi Jinping’s proposal and interpretation of the concept of new productive forces has pointed out the way forward for further liberating and developing productive forces and reforming and improving production relations. This also means that in the process of promoting Chinese-style modernization, the Party Central Committee will make greater efforts to lead the comprehensive revitalization of industries with scientific and technological innovation and win the initiative in development.

To develop new productive forces, technological innovation is the core driving force. Currently, my country is deeply implementing an innovation-driven development strategy and has made significant progress in fields such as artificial intelligence, quantum computing, space technology, and synthetic biology. In 2023, my country will rank first in the world in terms of the number of the world’s top 100 scientific and technological innovation clusters for the first time, becoming the first country in the world with more than 4 million valid domestic invention patents, and ranking first in the world in terms of full-time equivalent of R&D personnel.

  Cai Jiming, director of the Political Economics Research Center of Tsinghua University:As technological innovation continues to empower the real economy, overall, my country has initially formed the foundation and advantages to comprehensively promote the development of new productive forces in terms of innovation capabilities, industrial systems, and market size.

Entering 2024, all localities have prioritized accelerating the cultivation of new industries and the development of new productive forces when arranging work for this year. Shandong proposes to implement 100 major scientific and technological innovation projects and cultivate about 10 provincial-level emerging industry clusters; Guizhou emphasizes seizing the “window” of artificial intelligence to strengthen the digital economy and deeply implements six major scientific and technological strategic actions; Anhui proposes to build quantum information, Fusion energy and deep space exploration are the three major technological innovation highlands, and the construction of emerging industrial clusters such as new energy storage has been accelerated.

This year, various national departments will also introduce measures to smooth the virtuous cycle of education, science and technology, and talents, accelerate the improvement of the new national system, and strive to open up the blockages that restrict the development of new quality productivity, so that all kinds of advanced and high-quality production factors can develop new quality productivity. Smooth flow and efficient allocation enable China’s economy to move forward steadily while accelerating the cultivation of new productive forces. (CCTV News Client)
