Original question: Solidly promoting the construction of a modern industrial system supported by the real economy
General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized at the first meeting of the 20th Central Finance and Economics Committee that the modern industrial system is the material and technological foundation of a modern country, and the focus of economic development must be placed on the real economy to achieve the second centenary goal. Provide strong material support. We should thoroughly study and implement the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's important exposition on building a modern industrial system, speed up the modernization of industry, agriculture, service industry, and infrastructure, and build a modern industrial system supported by the real economy with the characteristics of intelligence, greening, and integration. A modern industrial system that meets the requirements of integrity, advancement, and safety will lay a more solid material and technological foundation for building a modern socialist power in an all-round way.
1. and speeding up the construction of a modern industrial system is crucial for us to win the strategic initiative in future development and international competition.
Building a modern industrial system is a major strategic deployment made by the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core, focusing on comprehensively building a modern socialist power and comprehensively promoting the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese-style modernization. It is related to our strategic initiative in future development and international competition. It has both short-term urgency and long-term strategic needs.
From an international perspective, a new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation is deepening, and international competition is becoming increasingly fierce. It is necessary to accelerate the construction of a modern industrial system to win the initiative in competition. In recent years, the international economic and political landscape has undergone profound and complex changes, with prominent global food and energy security issues, severe impacts on industrial and supply chains, and rampant anti globalization trends. A new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation is deepening, and the global industrial system and supply chain are showing a trend of diversified layout, regional cooperation, green transformation, and accelerated digitization. The competition between countries around industries is becoming more intense, and the modern industrial system has become the "winner" of the competition. In the face of unprecedented changes in the world, only by achieving modernization of the industrial system can we effectively maintain the security and stability of the industrial and supply chains; Only by achieving modernization of the industrial system can we win the initiative in fierce international competition.
From a domestic perspective, China has embarked on a new journey of comprehensively building a socialist modernized strong country, and it is necessary to accelerate the construction of a modern industrial system to build a solid foundation. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, China has made historic achievements in industrial development, and has basically formed a large-scale, comprehensive, and highly competitive industrial system. However, at the same time, it also faces problems such as "large but not strong" and "complete but not precise". There are still many bottlenecks in the industrial chain and supply chain, and there are still many difficulties and obstacles in the smooth economic circulation. We can only meet the needs of building a new development pattern by achieving modernization of the industrial system, adapting to existing demand with independent and controllable high-quality supply, creating and leading new demand, enhancing the driving force and reliability of the domestic circulation; Only by modernizing the industrial system, promoting high-quality economic development, and improving total factor productivity can we achieve the grand goal of common prosperity.
2. my country's industry has formed scale advantages, system advantages and leading advantages in some fields, and accelerating the construction of a modern industrial system has a solid foundation
In recent years, the National Development and Reform Commission has conscientiously implemented the decisions and deployments of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, and worked with relevant departments to promote the development of my country's industry, agriculture, service industry and infrastructure to a new level, laying a solid foundation for the construction of a modern industrial system.
The comprehensive industrial strength has reached a new level. Introduce a series of policy measures to revitalize the operation of the industrial economy, providing strong support for stabilizing the overall economic situation. Promote the structural adjustment and layout optimization of key industries such as petrochemicals, steel, and new energy vehicles, and continuously consolidate the leading position of advantageous industries. We will hold high-level China Brand Day activities, deeply implement pilot demonstration actions for intelligent manufacturing, and energy-saving and carbon reduction actions in key industrial areas. The level of high-end, intelligent, and green manufacturing will continue to improve. We will deepen the implementation of the action plan to enhance the core competitiveness of the manufacturing industry, major technological equipment research projects, and strategic resource guarantee capacity enhancement projects, continuously enhancing the resilience of the industrial chain and supply chain. In 2022, the added value of China's manufacturing industry accounted for 27.7% of GDP, accounting for nearly 30% of the global manufacturing industry, ranking first in the world for 13 consecutive years. The core competitiveness of the manufacturing industry has continued to improve, and some key link products have achieved significant leaps from scratch and from unusable to usable. Some areas have also achieved a significant transformation from following to running and leading.
The basic position of agriculture is constantly being consolidated. Deeply implementing the strategy of storing grain in the land and storing grain in technology, the comprehensive agricultural production capacity has steadily increased, and the grain yield has remained stable at over 1.3 trillion catties for 8 consecutive years. Grains are basically self-sufficient and the food supply is absolutely safe. We will strongly support the construction of agricultural water conservancy infrastructure and build 1 billion mu of high standard farmland. Accelerate the research and development of key agricultural core technologies, deepen the implementation of the seed industry revitalization action, continuously enhance the support capacity of agricultural technology and equipment, achieve a comprehensive mechanization rate of 73% for crop cultivation and harvesting, and significantly improve agricultural production efficiency. We will continue to promote the integrated development of the primary, secondary, and tertiary industries in rural areas, deepen the implementation of actions to enhance deep processing of agricultural products, promote the construction of logistics backbone networks and cold chain logistics facilities for storage and preservation of agricultural products, and accelerate the formation of the entire agricultural industry chain.
The development of the service industry is growing day by day. A series of documents have been issued to promote the high-quality development of the service industry in the new era, the deep integration of advanced manufacturing and modern service industries, the high-quality development of productive service industries, and the high-quality development of manufacturing service industries. The policy system for the development of the service industry has been continuously improved. Promote the design of supporting systems such as statistical classification and standardized development of the service industry, carry out pilot projects for comprehensive reform of the service industry and integration of the two industries, support the construction of carrier capacity in the service industry, and promote the continuous expansion of China's service industry scale and structural optimization. Despite being severely impacted by the epidemic, the added value of the service industry still accounted for 52.8% of GDP in 2022, contributing 41.8% to economic growth and supporting half of the national economy.
The infrastructure guarantee capability continues to enhance. The overall level of infrastructure development has achieved a leapfrog improvement, with continuous improvement in network layout, significant improvement in service capabilities, significant improvement in comprehensive efficiency, and continuous enhancement of governance capabilities, effectively supporting and leading economic and social development. As of the end of 2022, the total length of China's comprehensive transportation network has exceeded 6 million kilometers, and the world's largest high-speed railway network, expressway network, and world-class port cluster have been built. The passenger and freight volume, port throughput, and power generation of railways, highways, and other areas have remained the world's first for a long time. A number of major national projects, such as the Hong Kong Zhuhai Macao Bridge, Beijing Daxing International Airport, and the East Middle Line of the South to North Water Diversion Project, have been completed and put into operation. The construction of major logistics infrastructure is steadily advancing, and the construction of new infrastructure has achieved positive results.
