What exactly is it, General Secretary's mention of "new quality productivity" innovation | technology | productivity
Wen | Green Bee
At the symposium on promoting the comprehensive revitalization of Northeast China in the new era held on September 7th, General Secretary once again pointed out, "Actively cultivate strategic emerging industries such as new energy, new materials, advanced manufacturing, and electronic information, actively cultivate future industries, accelerate the formation of new quality productivity, and enhance new development momentum."

What is "new quality productivity"?
Literally, it refers to a new type of productivity that is different from traditional productivity.
Since the reform and opening up, China's economic development has gone through a stage of rapid growth. However, as we enter a stage of high-quality development, the previous approach of relying mainly on resource input to promote economic growth is no longer feasible.
The so-called new quality productivity refers to the productivity mainly based on technological innovation, which is a productivity that breaks away from traditional growth paths and meets the requirements of high-quality development. It is a productivity that is more integrated and reflects new connotations in the digital age.

Historical materialism emphasizes that productivity is the ability of humans to transform and conquer nature, and it is the decisive force and driving force that drives the continuous development of human civilization.
Looking back at the entire historical process of human society, it is actually the continuous development process of social productivity from low to high, from backward to advanced.
From the mechanization of the first industrial revolution in the 18th century, to the electrification of the second industrial revolution in the 19th century, and then to the informatization of the third industrial revolution in the 20th century, disruptive technological innovations have brought about a great liberation of social productivity and a great leap in living standards, fundamentally changing the development trajectory of human history.
Entering a new era, humanity has ushered in a new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation.
This is the fourth scientific and technological revolution based on the information revolution. The productivity represented by big data, the Internet, cloud computing, blockchain, artificial intelligence and other tool systems is completely different from the traditional new quality productivity, which will bring new quality development fundamentally different from the past.
Taking popular technologies such as generative artificial intelligence and autonomous driving as examples, they have the potential to completely change our production and lifestyle.
In the face of a hundred competing vessels, whoever can seize the opportunity can seize the lead, win the advantage, and truly grasp the initiative in competition and development.

Technology is the primary productive force, talent is the primary resource, and innovation is the primary driving force.
From the three technological revolutions in history, it can be seen that behind economic growth and productivity leaps, significant innovations such as steam engines and electricity usage have been achieved.
The new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation has formed a historic intersection with China's accelerated transformation of economic development mode. To form new quality productive forces, the key lies in technological innovation.
We must deeply understand the core position of innovation in the overall modernization construction, integrate innovation into all aspects and processes of modernization construction, continuously open up new fields and tracks for development, and continuously shape new driving forces and advantages for development.
Industry is the foundation of the economy and a concrete manifestation of productivity transformation.
In recent years, unilateralism and protectionism have significantly increased, with multiple challenges intertwined and overlapping. Economic globalization has encountered a backlash, and the global industrial chain division of labor has been deeply adjusted.
China's proposal to build a modern industrial system is not only an inevitable requirement for promoting high-quality development, but also an urgent need to win the initiative of major countries in competition.
At present, although China's industrial system has a large scale and numerous categories, the overall development level is not yet high. It is necessary to accelerate the development of strategic emerging industries and future industries, fill the gaps and weaknesses, extend the strengths and weaknesses, and seize the commanding heights of future industrial competition.

Only by following the trend of history can we keep pace with the times.
In recent years, China is striving to become the "leader" of a new round of information revolution from the "latecomer" of the Internet era by conforming to the development trend of digitalization, networking, intelligence and greening.
The proposal of new quality productivity has further pointed out the direction for us to promote industrial innovation through technological innovation and build competitive advantages through industrial upgrading.
Only by increasing the reserve of source technology and actively cultivating future industries can we accelerate the formation of new quality productive forces, accelerate the transformation of scientific and technological achievements into real productive forces, and provide more new competitiveness and lasting impetus for the high-quality development of the Chinese economy.
