Release time:May 12, 2024 12:14 PM

When industry thrives, all industries will prosper; when industry is strong, the economy will be strong. Looking back at the development process of the western region, industry has always been an important foundation for promoting high-quality development in the western region.

On the afternoon of April 23, General Secretary Xi Jinping presided over a symposium on promoting the development of the western region in the new era in Chongqing and delivered an important speech, using six "persistences" to provide clear guidance for further forming a new pattern of great protection, great openness, and high-quality development. . Among them, “persisting in developing characteristic and advantageous industries as the main direction” ranks first, highlighting the importance of industrial development in promoting the development of the western region in the new era.

To thoroughly implement the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important speech, the western provinces have gathered consensus, seized opportunities, actively planned advantageous industries, and strived to open up a new chapter of high-quality development in the western region.

Work hard on the word "special": plan industrial development based on resource advantages

At this symposium, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: “We must adhere to the development of characteristic and advantageous industries as the main direction, develop emerging industries according to local conditions, and accelerate the industrial transformation and upgrading of the western region.”

The vast area and rich natural conditions give the western region unique resource endowments and industrial development environment: the scenery resources in Gansu, Ningxia, Inner Mongolia and other places provide the basis for the development of new energy industry; Guizhou has many mineral types and large reserves, and is accelerating the development of mineral resources. High-end development and utilization; the geographical features and national culture of Xinjiang, Qinghai, Tibet and other places form unique tourism resources...

"The industrial development in the western region has entered a critical stage of transformation and upgrading." Sheng Yi, a researcher at the Sichuan Academy of Social Sciences, said that currently, industrial development in the western region still faces many difficulties and challenges. The industrial structure is not high-level and is resource-intensive, labor-intensive, and capital-intensive. Industrial industries account for a high proportion, industrial innovation capabilities need to be improved, product added value is low, and isomorphism problems are still prominent.

At this symposium, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized "strengthening the deep integration of technological innovation and industrial innovation" and made detailed arrangements for innovation: "promoting the upgrading, quality improvement and efficiency improvement of traditional advantageous industries" and "exploring the development of modern manufacturing and strategic "Emerging industries" and "Layout and construction of future industries"...

Empower technological transformation, promote equipment updating, and accelerate the upgrading of traditional advantageous industries——

Improving the quality and efficiency of traditional industries has brought new opportunities for industrial structural adjustment in the western region. Qinghai is accelerating the construction of a new power system with a gradually increasing proportion of new energy, and Shaanxi is promoting the extension of coal-based chemicals to new chemical materials... A series of policy measures to strengthen muscles and bones have been implemented one after another.

"To achieve the upgrading of traditional industries, we must improve the efficiency of comprehensive utilization of resources and the degree of intensive processing of products." Li Hengchao, deputy mayor of Liupanshui City, Guizhou Province, said that based on the rich local mineral resources, we will strive to do a good job in "rich ore development" to make our advantages better. , stronger and stronger.

Capture core technologies, make good use of innovative talents, and promote the development of emerging industries——

China's first independently developed F-class 50MW heavy-duty gas turbine rolled off the assembly line in Sichuan; the advanced attosecond laser facility of the Xi'an Institute of Optics and Mechanics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences passed the preliminary design review; Chongqing and other western regions have established and improved talent performance assessment and incentive mechanisms to provide talent with long-term development The stable hard and soft support of the cycle...

To make up for shortcomings in development, innovation results must be accelerated and applied; to break through core technologies, innovative talents must also be continuously cultivated. Relying on innovation and development, the western region has built 9 national-level strategic emerging industry clusters such as new materials and biomedicine, and 5 national-level advanced manufacturing clusters such as electronic information and aviation.

Lay out and build future industries to form new driving forces for regional development——

Not long ago, the 2024 Western Low-altitude Economic Industrial Ecology Conference was held in Pengzhou, Sichuan. By creating dedicated airspace for drones, innovating drone food delivery services, and promoting several application scenarios, Pengzhou continues to explore the path to low-altitude economic development.

Future industries are the key to creating a new engine of economic growth. Looking at the western region, from accelerating the cultivation of a new generation of electronic information technology to actively building the "Western Digital Valley", new industrial stories for the future are being written.

Making a fuss about the word "integration": optimizing the layout of industrial space through cooperation

"Deepen scientific and technological innovation cooperation in the east, central and west regions" and "promote the integrated development of central enterprises and the western region"... At this symposium, General Secretary Xi Jinping gave guidance on the development of industrial cooperation in the western region.

Just 14 milliseconds! This is the speed at which data is transmitted from Ningbo in the east to Guiyang in the west. Relying on the 400G all-optical inter-provincial backbone network, Guiyang can provide more efficient computing services to eastern cities, with inter-hub delays of less than 20 milliseconds. This artery of “counting from the East to the West” is a microcosm of the new round of in-depth cooperation between the East and the West.

Sheng Yi believes that from the past "transmitting electricity from the west to the east" and "transmitting gas from the west to the east" to the current "numbering from the east to the west", the industrial division of labor between the western region and the eastern and central regions has formed a "me among you, you among me" , division of labor, cooperation, and coordinated progress”.

Not long ago, the 2024 China Industrial Transfer and Development Matchmaking Event was held in Sichuan, Guizhou, Ningxia and other places. Sichuan launched promotions focusing on characteristic industries such as electronic information, equipment manufacturing, and materials and chemicals; in Guizhou, 298 projects signed involved areas such as resource intensive processing and new energy vehicles; Ningxia combined resource endowments and development status with the Yangtze River Delta region's digital information, modern Negotiated with more than 50 companies including chemical industry...

Professor Che Wenhui from the Economics Teaching and Research Department of the Party School of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China said that based on the industrial foundation and resource endowment, the western region will undertake the industrial transfer from the eastern region according to local conditions, focus on introducing industries with market prospects, and combine the undertaking of industrial transfer with the adjustment of its own industrial structure and the establishment of modern industries. The system is combined to cultivate and develop new momentum.

With the implementation of a series of measures such as "Science and Technology Aiding Youth", "Science and Technology Entering Yunnan" and "Science and Technology Supporting Ningbo", the independent innovation capabilities and the transfer and transformation level of scientific and technological achievements in the western region have significantly improved. More and more enterprises have integrated key processes, production Bases and R&D centers are located in the west.

By the end of 2023, the number of national key laboratories and 3,197 major science and technology platforms in Sichuan and Chongqing has reached 27; Ningxia has organized and implemented more than 1,700 east-west science and technology cooperation projects; Guizhou actively explores "Guizhou Resources for Eastern Enterprises" and "Guizhou Manufacturing for Eastern R&D" and other models... The surging momentum of high-quality development continues to be released in the western region.

Taking the development of new productive forces as an important focus, guiding the orderly transfer of industries, and optimizing the spatial layout of industries, the western region is accelerating the construction of a modern industrial system supported by advanced manufacturing.
