Based on the new stage of development, promoting the construction of a strong quality country
The new development stage is a stage of comprehensively building a socialist modernized country and advancing towards the second centenary goal. Entering a new stage of development is a great leap in the historical process of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. Our country's economy has shifted from a stage of high-speed growth to a stage of high-quality development, and the people's yearning for a better life has generally shifted from "existence" to "good or bad", presenting diverse, multi-level, and multifaceted characteristics. Based on the new stage of development, it is necessary to shift the focus of promoting development to improving quality and efficiency.Quality is not only the fundamental support for national modernization, but also an important indicator of national competitiveness. To promote the construction of a quality strong country, it is necessary to grasp the new characteristics, new situations, and new needs of the new development stage, vigorously promote quality development, pay close attention to quality improvement, and promote the transformation of quality, efficiency, and driving force in China's economic development.
Concrete embodiment of adhering to the people-centered approach
The fundamental purpose of development is for the people and to meet their aspirations for a better life. Our party's unity and leadership in continuously liberating and developing social productive forces among people of all ethnic groups in the country are fundamentally aimed at meeting the growing material and cultural needs of the people. The development concept centered on the people reflects the original aspiration and mission of our party, and the interests of the people are the fundamental starting point and foothold of all our party's work. At present, the main contradiction in Chinese society has transformed into a contradiction between the growing needs of the people for a better life and the unbalanced and insufficient development. On the one hand, the people's desire for a better life is becoming stronger, and consumers have higher requirements for product quality. The demand is shifting from "purchasing products" to "enjoying services", and from "meeting daily needs" to "improving the quality of life". On the other hand, the problem of imbalanced and insufficient industrial development is still prominent. The people's needs for a better life have not been effectively met, and some low-end products are severely oversupplied, while many high-end products are in short supply. The reason for this situation is largely due to the fact that the improvement of quality level in our country still lags behind the economic and social development, and the foundation of quality development is not solid enough. The quality of products and services, as well as the corresponding brand value, cannot meet the requirements of consumers.
In order to meet the people's needs for a better life, it is necessary to promote the construction of a quality strong country. Firstly, building a strong quality country can better ensure consumer safety. By establishing and improving quality standards, it is beneficial to solve problems such as counterfeiting, price fraud, false advertising, and infringement of intellectual property rights, thereby creating a safer and more reassuring consumption environment. Secondly, building a strong quality country can better promote consumption upgrading. Consumption upgrading includes the upgrading of consumption structure, mainly referring to the structural upgrading and level improvement of various consumption expenditures in total consumption expenditure. At the same time, in a certain sense, it also includes the upgrading of quality, mainly referring to the improvement of consumption level through product innovation, service upgrading, and quality improvement. Quality upgrading can meet people's higher quality consumption needs and is also an important way of consumption upgrading. Once again, the construction of a quality strong country can better promote the comprehensive development of people. The satisfaction of diversified and multi-level consumption needs will inevitably promote the improvement and expansion of new types of consumption such as customization, experience, intelligence, and fashion, which will further promote the development of consumer culture and the transformation of lifestyle.
The key lever for implementing the new development concept
The new development concept provides an action guide for promoting high-quality development. The construction of a quality strong country is conducive to improving supply quality, leveraging the contribution of quality to improving total factor productivity and promoting economic development, thus becoming an important lever for implementing the new development concept.
Firstly, promote innovative development. The pursuit of quality by enterprises is actually a process of technological and management innovation, creating products with higher added value through lower investment, thereby achieving intensive growth. Promoting the construction of a quality strong country can promote enterprises to increase investment in quality and technological innovation, promote the application of new technologies, processes, and materials, and achieve variety development and quality upgrading. At the same time, it also helps to cultivate new forms and models of the service industry, promote the specialization and high-end extension of the productive service industry, and upgrade the lifestyle service industry to high quality and diversification. Secondly, promote coordinated development. Currently, the gap in regional development in China is mainly reflected in the quality of development. By strengthening policy guidance and promoting the integration of regional quality development with productivity layout, location advantages, environmental carrying capacity, and social development needs, we can achieve coordinated development of regional quality and effectively promote more balanced regional development. At the same time, by vigorously developing agricultural socialized services, improving the level of rural infrastructure construction, and improving the quality of rural products and services, it can effectively promote coordinated development between urban and rural areas. Thirdly, promote green development. Green is the foundation for high-quality development. By promoting green design, green manufacturing, and green construction, and establishing a unified green product standard, certification, and labeling system, it helps to achieve the green development of the industry, adhere to the concept of green consumption, and promote green lifestyles. Fourthly, promote open development. To promote the construction of a quality strong country, we must adhere to expanding openness, continuously learn from advanced foreign experiences, benchmark against international first-class standards, and gather high-quality production factors on a global scale, so as to achieve internal and external linkage of development and enhance China's industrial quality competitiveness. Fifth, promote shared development. Quality is an important guarantee for human production and life. Promoting the construction of a quality strong country benefits the people, optimizes the supply of consumer goods, focuses on improving the quality of life of the people, and enables them to better enjoy the fruits of development.
The inevitable choice for building a modern industrial system
The modern industrial system is the material and technological foundation of a modern country. The construction of a quality power is conducive to promoting new industrialization and building a modern industrial system with integrity, progressiveness and safety.
From the perspective of completeness, the construction of a quality strong country can solidify the industrial foundation of our country and truly demonstrate the advantages of a complete range of industrial categories. China is the only country in the world with all industrial categories, and its production of over 220 industrial products ranks first in the world. However, the problem of large but not strong industry is still quite prominent. Although some fields have industrial layout, product quality is difficult to meet the needs, which is not conducive to fully leveraging the advantages of China's complete industrial system. By promoting the construction of a quality strong country, we can accelerate the technological iteration and quality upgrading of traditional manufacturing, improve product reliability and applicability, and effectively expand the breadth and depth of industrial layout. From the perspective of progressiveness, building a quality power can strengthen the international competitiveness of China's industries and promote industrial transformation and upgrading. At present, the competitive advantage of many industries in our country is mainly reflected in low costs, rather than product quality. The added value of products is relatively low, which leads to many enterprises in our country being at the low-end of the value chain in the international division of labor system, and can only sacrifice resources and environment in exchange for meager profits. Promoting the construction of a quality strong country can effectively promote the transformation of Chinese manufacturing to Chinese creation, the transformation of Chinese speed to Chinese quality, and the transformation of Chinese products to Chinese brands, making quality and brand an important source of core competitiveness for Chinese enterprises. From a safety perspective, the construction of a quality strong country can enhance the stability of the industrial and supply chains, and enhance the degree of localization of core technologies, key components, and key basic materials. At present, some key areas in China's industrial development are facing bottleneck problems, posing a threat to China's economic security. Promoting the construction of a quality power is conducive to guiding enterprises to increase investment in quality and technology innovation, promoting key core technology research, promoting variety development and quality upgrading, improving the stability, reliability and progressiveness of products, so as to realize the localization of imported technologies, key components and key basic materials.
An important guarantee for building a new development pattern
The key to accelerating the construction of a new development pattern with domestic circulation as the main body and domestic and international dual circulation promoting each other is the smooth flow of economic circulation, and the most essential feature is to achieve high-level self-reliance and self-improvement. Building a high-quality country is an important guarantee for promoting the construction of a new development pattern. Quality is connected to both supply and demand, connecting the entire industrial chain and integrating into the entire economic development domain. At the same time, quality is also a key element for deep participation in global industrial division of labor and cooperation. Comprehensive improvement of product and service quality helps to promote smooth circulation in production, circulation, consumption and other links.
From the perspective of domestic circulation, China has a super large scale market advantage with great capacity and potential. In order to truly transform this market advantage into a driving force for economic growth, it is necessary to improve the quality of the supply system, drive innovation, lead high-quality supply, and create new demand. Promoting the construction of a quality strong country is conducive to forming a higher level dynamic balance between demand driven supply and supply creating demand, and promoting a virtuous cycle of the national economy. On the one hand, the construction of a quality strong country focuses on the shortcomings of industrial basic quality, implements industrial basic quality improvement projects by industry, strengthens key areas of industrial basic quality research, and achieves supply-demand interaction in the production process; On the other hand, the construction of a quality strong country conforms to the trend of consumer upgrading, promotes enterprise transformation and upgrading, and better meets the needs of consumers for mid to high end products, service-oriented products, personalized products, etc. by improving product quality and strengthening brand building, achieving supply-demand interaction in the consumption process.
From the perspective of international circulation, in today's globalized economy, it is difficult for any country to achieve modernization through closed development. Instead, it is necessary to allocate resources and layout production globally, promote supply chain adjustment, industrial structure upgrading, and value chain leap, in order to achieve high-quality economic development. However, it is not easy to deeply participate in global industrial division of labor and cooperation. It is necessary to shape one's own industrial quality competitiveness and gain an advantage in global competition. This requires promoting the construction of a quality power, comprehensively improving the quality of products and services, constantly improving China's position in the global industrial chain supply chain innovation chain, shaping new advantages in participating in international cooperation and competition, and providing a strong driving force for promoting Chinese path to modernization.
