Just now, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council issued the "Opinions on Developing New Productivity Productivity" (hereinafter referred to as the "Opinions"), drawing a roadmap and construction drawings for igniting the engine of innovation and accelerating the development of new quality productivity.
Artificial intelligence, biomedicine, robotics, quantum technology and other research and development applications are at the forefront of the world. Black-light factories, unmanned workshops, and smart mines are dotted all over the world. Chinese cars, Chinese ships, and Chinese high-speed rail continue to lead the world... Today's China is seeing rapid growth of new productive forces, demonstrating its strong impetus and support for high-quality development.
Issuing a major document on new productivity in the first year of the “15th Five-Year Plan” has far-reaching considerations and important significance. In the “15th Five-Year Plan” outline, “building a modern industrial system and consolidating and strengthening the foundation of the real economy” ranks first among the strategic tasks. To accomplish this strategic task, an important support is to vigorously develop new productive forces.
To this end, the "Opinions" adhere to the principles of "innovation-led, reform-oriented, adapting to local conditions, establishing first and then breaking", and deploys 19 key measures in five aspects: "vigorously promote scientific and technological innovation", "promote the deep integration of scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation", "focus on promoting innovation in development methods", "solidly promote innovation in systems and mechanisms" and "deepen innovation in talent work mechanisms".
A careful reading of the document can clarify the direction and focus of developing new productive forces in the coming period. The two most prominent keywords are “innovation” and “reform.”
Innovation requires unswerving determination to effectively promote the "two-way rush" of scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation.
On the one hand, build a solid “hard base”.
What does scientific and technological innovation do, who will do it, and how will it be done? The "Opinions" adhere to a problem-oriented approach and clarify measures one by one.
"What to do?" Focus on the long term and "strengthen original and disruptive technological innovation." Based on the current situation, "accelerate breakthroughs in key core technologies."
"Who will do it?" From the perspective of a promising government, it plans to "coordinate the construction of national strategic scientific and technological forces." From the perspective of market effectiveness, deploy "strengthening the dominant position of enterprises in scientific and technological innovation."
"What will be done?" The "Opinions" regard "accelerating the transformation of scientific and technological achievements into real productivity" as one of the major tasks, and urge the flowers of innovation to bear industrial fruits.
On the other hand, break the "two skins".
In order to promote the deep integration of technological innovation and industrial innovation, the "Opinions" make arrangements from the aspects of "transforming and upgrading traditional industries", "cultivating and strengthening emerging industries", "prospectively deploying future industries" and "promoting the deep integration of the real economy and the digital economy".
The "Opinions" highlight the "comprehensive implementation of the 'artificial intelligence +' action", whose purpose is to promote the deep integration of artificial intelligence and the real economy, and to use intelligence to drive high-end and green industries.
With technological empowerment and industrial upgrading, new industries, new models, and new kinetic energy will emerge at an accelerated pace, and the development of new quality productive forces will be more dynamic.
Reform must be unswerving and strive to form production relations that are compatible with new productive forces.
To develop new productive forces, reform must be a key step. The "Opinions" emphasize "focusing on the close integration of science and technology and economy to deepen reform", and propose specific measures to break the "two skins" of science and technology and economy and deepen the reform of the science and technology system.
It is worth noting that in the past, relevant departments paid more attention to the layout of the industrial chain around the innovation chain, while the "Opinions" emphasize supply-side reform while paying more attention to the demand side. For example, the proposal to “deploy scientific and technological tasks on demand in major national engineering projects” is an important measure to deploy an innovation chain around the industrial chain.
In addition, in order to promote new technologies, new fields and new tracks that are both "flexible" and "well managed", the "Opinions" set "improving the market supervision system" as a major task deployment, aiming to promote the standardization and development of new things in development.
By deepening reforms and allowing all types of advanced and high-quality production factors to flow smoothly to the development of new-quality productive forces, China's economic potential will be unleashed.
The driving force for economic growth comes from reform and innovation. Reform and innovation are the key to getting rid of weak growth and gaining inexhaustible driving force. If all regions and departments take action to effectively implement the "Opinions", the momentum for the development of new productive forces will be stronger, and the material and technological foundation for Chinese-style modernization will be more solid.
