Jin Guanping: Building production relations that adapt to the leap in productivity
How to accelerate the formation of new production relations that are compatible with new productivity has a profound impact on the efficiency of transforming potential productivity into real driving force. "We must deepen reforms in the economic system, science and technology system, and strive to clear the bottlenecks that restrict the development of new productivity." "We must expand high-level opening up to the outside world and create a good international environment for the development of new productivity."... General Secretary Xi Jinping's important remarks have clarified the important tasks of further deepening reform in an all-round way.
Production relations must be adapted to the requirements of productivity development. The household contract responsibility system in Xiaogang Village, Anhui Province, kicked off the rural reform; the strategy of rejuvenating the country through science and education was implemented, igniting the engine of scientific and technological innovation; the employment of workers was allowed, awakening the entrepreneurial dreams of countless "self-employed" people... The magnificent development process has repeatedly proved that reform can break the ideological obstacles and institutional barriers that restrict productivity, allowing the vitality of production factors to burst out, and allowing the source of social wealth to flow fully. New quality productivity is closely related to emerging industries and future industries, reflecting the energy level jump of productivity evolution, and especially requires a matching scientific mechanism and a suitable development environment.
At present, a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation is gaining momentum, triggering major adjustments in the international division of labor, reshaping the international competition landscape, and changing the balance of power among countries. Whoever takes the lead in innovation will have the initiative to lead development. Faced with the new situation, we must solidly promote institutional and mechanism innovation, accelerate the formation of new production relations, guide all kinds of advanced and high-quality production factors to flow smoothly to develop new quality productivity, and stimulate the endogenous driving force and social vitality of high-quality development. The task is arduous and the time is pressing.
Further deepening reform in an all-round way is aimed at those inherent models and rules and regulations that no longer meet the requirements of productivity development. This requires us to deeply grasp the connotation and characteristics of new productivity, recognize the laws of formation, create a system and mechanism environment conducive to the growth of new productivity, cultivate fertile soil conducive to the development of new productivity, and provide strong guarantees for the development of new productivity.
New productivity requires both government planning and guidance, scientific policy support, market mechanism regulation, and continuous innovation of micro-subjects such as enterprises. It is jointly cultivated and driven by the "visible hand" and the "invisible hand". In the process of vigorously developing new productivity and forming new production relations, "giving full play to the decisive role of the market in resource allocation and better playing the role of the government" has become an important principle that must be adhered to. Adhere to and improve the basic socialist economic system, focus on giving full play to the vitality of various business entities and the enthusiasm and creativity of production and operation; build a unified national market, deepen the market-oriented reform of factors, and build a high-standard market system; improve the basic market economy systems such as property rights protection, market access, fair competition, and social credit; improve the efficiency of scientific and technological investment, and deepen the reform of the allocation and use mechanism of fiscal science and technology funds... Only by achieving a benign interaction between an effective market and an effective government can we accelerate the improvement of my country's total factor productivity and accelerate the formation of new competitive advantages in developing new productivity.
Opening up is also reform. It should be noted that the complexity, systematicity and synergy of current scientific research have been significantly enhanced, and international cooperation is becoming a "necessary condition" for promoting scientific and technological innovation. To accelerate the development of new quality productivity, it is also necessary to promote international scientific and technological exchanges and cooperation with more open thinking and measures, steadily expand institutional opening up, promote the connection of rules, regulations, management, standards, etc. with international high-standard economic and trade rules, actively integrate into the global innovation network in the continuous improvement of open innovation mechanisms and the two-way flow of resources, deeply participate in global industrial division of labor and cooperation, gather global innovation elements, and create more possibilities for achieving better development.
This year is another important year for comprehensively deepening reform. The main task is to plan for further comprehensively deepening reform. This is not only a continuation of the practice of comprehensively deepening reform since the Third Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee, but also a new chapter in the era of promoting Chinese-style modernization in the new journey. From this perspective, further comprehensively deepening reform and building a new production relationship that adapts to the leap of productivity have greater requirements of the times, and will play a more important role in effectively resolving the risks and challenges on the road ahead.
