Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, we have comprehensively implemented the new development concept, continuously deepened our understanding of the stage characteristics and laws of my country's economic development, and placed greater emphasis on the high quality of development. The report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China declared that "my country's economy has transitioned from a stage of rapid growth to Shifting to the stage of high-quality development." The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China emphasized that "high-quality development is the primary task of comprehensively building a modern socialist country." Since the new era, the Party Central Committee has made a series of major decisions and arrangements, and promoting high-quality development has become the consensus and conscious action of the entire party and society, and high-quality development has become the main theme. In recent years, my country has made fruitful achievements in scientific and technological innovation, and the results of innovation-driven development have become increasingly apparent; the coordination and balance of urban and rural regional development have been significantly enhanced; reform and opening up have been comprehensively deepened, and development momentum has burst out; green and low-carbon transformation has achieved remarkable results, and the pace of transformation of development methods has accelerated. , high-quality development has achieved remarkable results.
At the same time, there are still a lot of factors restricting high-quality development. From the perspective of the external environment, the world's major changes unseen in a century are accelerating in all directions and in depth. From the perspective of internal conditions, the situation in which key core technologies in some areas of our country are controlled by others has not fundamentally changed. The gap between urban and rural regional development and income distribution is still large, constraining high-quality economic and social development. Judging from the progress of work, some leading cadres do not have adequate understanding and habitually return to the old path of pursuing extensive expansion and inefficient development when encountering contradictions and difficulties in actual work; some leading cadres have outdated ideas, which are called promoting high-level development. Quality development is actually "old wine in new bottles"; some leading cadres lack the ability and face new challenges in the new environment at home and abroad and do not know how to promote high-quality development, etc. We must attach great importance to these problems and effectively solve them. We must keep in mind that high-quality development is the last word in the new era, implement the new development concept completely, accurately and comprehensively, accelerate the construction of a modern economic system, promote self-reliance and self-reliance in high-level science and technology, accelerate the construction of a new development pattern, and coordinate the advancement of deep-seated reforms and high-level Strategic tasks such as horizontal opening up, coordinating high-quality development and high-level security are implemented in place, and the assessment and evaluation system for promoting high-quality development is improved to lay a solid foundation for promoting high-quality development.
Developing new productive forces is an intrinsic requirement and an important focus to promote high-quality development. Here, I will focus on some insights on this.
Since July last year, when I visited Sichuan, Heilongjiang, Zhejiang, Guangxi and other places, I proposed 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. In mid-December, at the Central Economic Work Conference, I proposed to use scientific and technological innovation to promote industrial innovation, especially disruptive and cutting-edge technologies to spawn new industries, new models, new drivers, and develop new quality productivity. When I proposed the concept of new productive forces and the major task of developing new productive forces, my main consideration was that productivity is the fundamental driving force for the development of human society and the ultimate cause of all social changes and political changes. High-quality development requires new productivity theory to guide, and new productivity has formed in practice and demonstrated a strong driving force and support for high-quality development. We need to summarize and summarize it theoretically to guide new Development practice.
What is new quality productivity and how to develop new quality productivity? I have been thinking about it and noticed some research results in academia. In summary, new quality productivity is an advanced productivity state in which innovation plays a leading role, breaks away from the traditional economic growth mode and productivity development path, has the characteristics of high technology, high efficiency and high quality, and conforms to the new development concept. It was born from revolutionary technological breakthroughs, innovative allocation of production factors, and in-depth industrial transformation and upgrading. It takes the leap in workers, labor materials, labor objects and their optimal combination as its basic connotation, and takes the substantial increase in total factor productivity as its core symbol. Its characteristics It is innovation, the key lies in high quality, and the essence is advanced productivity.
The distinctive feature of new productivity is innovation, which includes innovation at the technology and business model levels, as well as innovation at the management and institutional levels. We must continue to do a good job in the big article of innovation and promote the accelerated development of new productive forces.
First, vigorously promote technological innovation. New productivity is mainly generated by revolutionary breakthroughs in technology. Scientific and technological innovation can give birth to new industries, new models, and new driving forces, and is a core element in developing new productive forces. This requires us to strengthen scientific and technological innovation, especially original and disruptive scientific and technological innovation, and accelerate the realization of high-level scientific and technological self-reliance and self-reliance. It is necessary to thoroughly implement the strategy of rejuvenating the country through science and education, the strategy of strengthening the country through talent, and the strategy of innovation-driven development, adhere to the "four orientations", strengthen the national strategic scientific and technological strength, and organize and promote strategically oriented original and basic research. It is necessary to focus on the national strategy and the actual needs of economic and social development, take key common technologies, cutting-edge leading technologies, modern engineering technologies, and disruptive technological innovations as breakthrough points, give full play to the advantages of the new national system, and fight the battle against key core technologies to make originality and subversion Innovative achievements in sexual science and technology are emerging one after another, cultivating new momentum for the development of new productive forces.

Second, promote industrial innovation through scientific and technological innovation. Scientific and technological achievements are transformed into real productivity in the form of spawning new industries and promoting in-depth industrial transformation and upgrading. Therefore, we must promptly apply the results of scientific and technological innovation to specific industries and industrial chains, transform and upgrade traditional industries, cultivate and strengthen emerging industries, layout and build future industries, and improve the modern industrial system. It is necessary to lay out the industrial chain around the development of new productive forces, promote weak industries to supplement the chain, advantageous industries to extend the chain, traditional industries to upgrade the chain, and emerging industries to build the chain, improve the resilience and safety level of the industrial chain and supply chain, and ensure that the industrial system is independent, controllable and safe. reliable. It is necessary to scientifically lay out scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation around the strategic tasks of promoting new industrialization and accelerating the construction of a manufacturing power, a quality power, a network power, and a digital China. It is necessary to vigorously develop the digital economy, promote the deep integration of the digital economy and the real economy, and create an internationally competitive digital industry cluster. Focusing on the goal of building an agricultural power, we must increase scientific and technological innovation and the application of innovative results in the seed industry, agricultural machinery, etc., use innovative science and technology to promote the development of modern agriculture, and ensure national food security.
Third, efforts should be made to promote innovation in development methods. Green development is the foundation of high-quality development, and new productivity itself is green productivity. We must accelerate the green transformation of our development model and help reach peak carbon neutrality. We must firmly establish and practice the concept that clear waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets, and unswervingly follow the path of ecological priority and green development. Accelerate green technological innovation and the promotion and application of advanced green technologies, strengthen green manufacturing, develop green service industries, expand green energy industries, develop green and low-carbon industries and supply chains, and build a green and low-carbon circular economic system. Continue to optimize the economic policy toolbox that supports green and low-carbon development, give full play to the traction role of green finance, and create efficient ecological green industrial clusters. At the same time, we vigorously promote a green and healthy lifestyle in the whole society.
Fourth, solidly promote institutional innovation. Production relations must adapt to the requirements of productivity development. To develop new productive forces, we must further comprehensively deepen reforms and form new production relations that are compatible with them. New productivity requires not only advanced planning guidance and scientific policy support from the government, but also market mechanism regulation and continuous innovation by micro entities such as enterprises. It is jointly cultivated and driven by the "visible hand" of the government and the "invisible hand" of the market. Therefore, it is necessary to deepen the reform of the economic system, science and technology system, etc., strive to clear up the blockages that restrict the development of new productive forces, establish a high-standard market system, innovate the allocation of production factors, and allow all types of advanced and high-quality production factors to smoothly develop new productive forces. flow. At the same time, we must expand high-level opening up to the outside world and create a good international environment for the development of new productive forces.
Fifth, deepen the innovation of talent work mechanism. In accordance with the requirements for developing new productive forces, we must smoothen the virtuous cycle of education, science and technology, and talents, and improve the working mechanism for talent training, introduction, use, and reasonable flow. It is necessary to optimize subject settings and talent training models in colleges and universities according to new trends in scientific and technological development, and cultivate urgently needed talents for the development of new productive forces and promotion of high-quality development. We must focus on cultivating strategic scientists, first-class scientific and technological leaders and innovative teams, focus on cultivating outstanding engineers and great craftsmen, strengthen labor skills training, and continuously improve the quality of all types of talents. It is necessary to improve the factor participation income distribution mechanism, stimulate the vitality of production factors such as labor, knowledge, technology, management, capital and data, better reflect the market value of knowledge, technology and talents, and create a good atmosphere that encourages innovation and tolerates failure.
