Recently, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council issued the "Opinions on the Development of New Productivity", which clearly stated that the development of new productivity must coordinate the relationship between the government and the market, quality and business, reform and development, independence and openness, and pointed out a scientific and practical path for various regions to promote industrial upgrading and cultivate new productivity.
New quality productivity is an advanced productivity quality that conforms to the new development concept. Quality is the intrinsic quality and development quality of productivity, and business form is the external manifestation and carrier of productivity. To coordinate the relationship between quality and business format, we must not only pay attention to technical research and master core technologies, but also attach importance to the application of new technologies to form realistic productivity. New productivity relies on the modern industrial system to take root. Traditional industries, emerging industries, and future industries are the forms of new productivity at different stages, and they are also the realistic carriers for achieving a qualitative leap in productivity. In practice, we must abandon one-sided thinking, prevent industries from advancing individually, promote industry iterations and linked upgrades, and lay a solid foundation for high-quality development with a complete industrial ecology.
Traditional industries are the foundation of the real economy, carrying mature manufacturing systems, supply chain networks, and massive market scenarios; emerging industries are the backbone of industrial upgrading, undertaking technology transformation, driving production capacity iterations, and cultivating new momentum; future industries are the core engines of forward-looking development, leading technological changes and opening up new tracks. The three are not separated from each other or have an either-or competitive relationship, but an organic whole that complements each other and thrives together.
High-quality industrial development patterns often feature coordinated upgrading of multiple business formats. Many domestic and foreign industrial development cases confirm that a single breakthrough in an industry is difficult to last, and only through coordinated efforts can sustainable growth momentum be formed. For example, the iterative upgrade of the automobile industry is a typical example of the coordinated evolution of traditional manufacturing, emerging business formats, and future tracks: traditional automobile manufacturing provides production capacity and scenario support for new energy vehicles, while new energy vehicles accumulate technology and market foundations for high-level autonomous driving, and innovation in high-level autonomous driving can open up new growth space for the first two.
If we underestimate traditional industries and blindly focus on emerging industries and future industries, it will lead to a lack of implementation scenarios for cutting-edge technologies and a lack of basic support for high-end manufacturing, leading to a dilemma of "hanging technology and hollow industries"; one-sided adherence to traditional industries and neglecting the iteration of emerging industries and the layout of future industries. Otherwise, new growth opportunities will be missed, long-term competitiveness will be weakened, and the initiative may be lost in future industrial competition; unilaterally pursuing a single frontier track, blindly following the trend in deploying emerging industries and future industries, and breaking away from the local industrial base will result in a waste of resources and homogeneous "involution."
To prevent the industry from advancing alone, we must establish a systematic thinking and build an industrial development pattern with global collaboration and gradient complementation. Different regions have different industrial endowments, scientific and technological innovation capabilities, and resource advantages. We cannot copy a single development model, let alone deploy a single track. We must be based on reality, accurately positioned, and dislocated. Areas with outstanding advantages in traditional industries should focus on promoting intelligent and green transformation, and use the upgrading of traditional industries to nurture emerging momentum; areas rich in scientific and technological innovation resources should deepen the cultivation of emerging industries, future industrial layout, and feed back the real economy with cutting-edge innovation; areas with manufacturing clusters should do a good job in industrial connection and transformation, and open up the intermediate links for industrial iterative upgrading.
At the same time, it is necessary to break down barriers to the flow of regional factors, unblock technology, talent, capital, and data circulation channels, establish cross-regional industrial collaboration and benefit-sharing mechanisms, and avoid homogeneous competition and duplication of construction. Optimizing the industrial ecology through policy guidance and improving the inclusive and prudent regulatory system will not only leave enough space for the transformation of traditional industries, but also provide support for the growth of emerging industries and future industry trials and errors, so that each can display its strengths and complement each other.
The integrity and synergy of the industrial system determine the development quality of new productive forces. To cultivate and develop new productive forces, we must abandon short-sighted thinking such as "emphasis on cutting-edge and under-emphasis on tradition" and "emphasis on single points and light systems" to avoid individual advances in various industries. Only by coordinating the quality improvement of traditional industries, the expansion of emerging industries, and the empowerment of future industries with a systemic concept can we build a solid foundation for the real economy, continue to stimulate new momentum for industrial development, and promote stable and long-term high-quality economic development.
