Accelerate the promotion of new industrialization and help Chinese modernization

Industrialization is an important foundation and key driving force for promoting modernization, which runs through all fields and links in the whole process of modernization. To promote Chinese-style modernization, we must firmly grasp the "bull's nose" of new industrialization and continue to improve the level of industrial modernization.

To accelerate the process of new industrialization and help Chinese modernization, it is necessary to deeply understand the characteristics and requirements of promoting new industrialization, accurately grasp the key aspects of promoting new industrialization, gather strong synergy to promote new industrialization, and create a new situation in China's industrial development with new responsibilities and new actions.

Deeply understand the characteristics and requirements of promoting new industrialization

Industrialization is the only way for a country's economic development. To accelerate the process of new industrialization and help Chinese modernization, we must first deeply analyze and grasp the changes in the domestic and foreign situation and the phased characteristics of China's new industrialization, which is also the overall requirement for the in-depth promotion of new industrialization.

The first is to respond to the transformative challenges and tests of the times. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, China built the world's most complete and largest industrial system on the basis of "one poor and two white". In the face of the accelerated evolution of the world's major changes unseen in a century, China's development has entered a period of coexistence of opportunities, risks and challenges, and increasing uncertain and unstable factors. The world economy is still hovering in the sluggish recovery, major developed countries have accelerated the return of advanced manufacturing industries, and many emerging economies have accelerated the industrialization process, making China's industrialization development face a grim situation. How to ensure the overall development and security under the changes in the external environment, how to ensure that the industrial chain and supply chain do not fall off at critical moments, how to ensure the smooth circulation of the national economy under extreme scenarios, and how to ensure that the development initiative is in their own hands are a series of major issues of the times that must be answered to promote new industrialization.

Second, it plays a supporting role in carrying basic strategies. Industrialization is an important foundation and key driving force for promoting modernization, which runs through all fields and links in the whole process of modernization. The world's major developed economies have basically relied on strong manufacturing and real economies to enter the ranks of modern powers. The breadth and depth of industrialization profoundly affect the speed and degree of modernization, and accelerating the pace of new-type industrialization has strategic significance and far-reaching impact on the realization of Chinese-style modernization. To build a new development pattern, promote high-quality development, and promote Chinese-style modernization, we must firmly grasp the "bull's nose" of new industrialization, continue to improve the level of industrial modernization, and constantly consolidate the material and industrial foundation for the construction of a strong country and national rejuvenation.

The third is to follow the development requirements of regularity and particularity. In the process of promoting new-type industrialization, it is necessary to realize that the development process of industrialization in various countries in the world and the exploration and practice of industrialization in China have shown that taking scientific and technological progress as the guide, marketization as the driving force, enterprises as the main body, and industrialization and urbanization as the starting point are universal laws, basic observances, and common requirements, and that the promotion of new-type industrialization can never be ignored, deviated from, or abandoned; it is also necessary to realize that what kind of modernization path a country chooses is determined by its historical traditions, social system, development conditions, external environment, and many other factors. At present, China's industrialization is in a special stage where the constraints are from wide to strict, the development goal is an important juncture from large to strong, and the development requirements are from quantitative to qualitative.

Scientifically grasp the key aspects of promoting new industrialization

The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China clearly stated that by 2035, a new type of industrialization will be basically realized. On the basis of adapting to the requirements of the times and changes in the situation and accurately grasping the characteristics and requirements, we should clarify the timetable, task book, and roadmap, and promote the new industrialization to continuously achieve greater breakthroughs and better results.

The first is to focus on scientific and technological innovation to lead and drive, and strive to build an independent, controllable, safe and reliable industrial system. Achieving high-level scientific and technological self-reliance and self-reliance and ensuring that the industrial system is independent, controllable, safe and reliable are the prerequisites and objective requirements for new industrialization, and are also important tasks for promoting new industrialization. It is necessary to strengthen demand orientation and scenario traction, give full play to the role of leading enterprises, and build an innovation consortium with efficient collaboration between industry, academia, research and application, and close cooperation between upstream and downstream. In view of the long-term accumulation of China's materials, processes and other industrial basic fields, and the shortcomings of basic parts, basic components, basic processes, and basic materials, we should sort out and clarify the blocking points and breakpoints of the key industrial chain of the manufacturing industry, and concentrate on accelerating the research of key core technologies, landmark major technical equipment breakthroughs and promoting the implementation of industrial base reengineering, and support the continuous improvement and iterative upgrading of products at the application end, so as to truly realize the "three" improvement, that is, to enhance the industrial innovation ability and enhance the upgrading of the industrial base. The level of modernization of the industrial chain will improve the resilience and security of the industrial chain and supply chain. In view of China's high dependence on foreign strategic mineral resources, lack of pricing power and insufficient right to speak, we should accelerate the construction of domestic reserves and production, supply, storage and marketing system, deepen investment and economic and trade cooperation with resource-based countries, actively participate in improving the global mining governance mechanism, and further make full use of global resources to ensure the long-term needs of industrial and economic and social development.

The second is to focus on the optimization and upgrading of the old and the new, and strive to improve the industrial structure with clear positioning and distinctive characteristics. It is necessary to promote the optimization and upgrading of traditional industries. Traditional industries account for more than 80% of the overall industry, which is the foundation of the modern industrial system, and cannot be simply withdrawn as a "low-end industry". Increase the financial support for technological transformation of manufacturing enterprises, implement preferential tax treatment and special re-lending policies for technological transformation investment, improve the standard requirements for technological transformation of enterprises, strengthen the construction of relevant laws and regulations, and actively promote equipment renewal, process upgrading, digital empowerment, and management innovation. Vigorously develop R&D and design, inspection and testing, intellectual property services and other productive services, guide and support the producer service industry to specialize and extend the high-end of the value chain, promote the integration and symbiosis of modern service industry and advanced manufacturing industry, promote each other, provide important support for the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries, realize the vitality of traditional industries, and continue to consolidate the unique advantages of the integrity of the industrial system. It is necessary to vigorously cultivate new industries and new tracks. At present, the added value of China's strategic emerging industries accounts for a small proportion of GDP, and the future development space and potential are very huge. It is necessary not only to continue to promote the strengthening of the chain and supplement the chain of advantageous industries such as information and communication, new energy vehicles, and photovoltaics, but also to make a forward-looking layout of future industries, cultivate more emerging pillar industries that can lead industrial upgrading and seize the commanding heights of global industrial competition, and promote the cluster and integrated development of strategic emerging industries and future industries.

The third is to focus on overall planning and integrated advancement, and strive to form an industrial layout with reasonable division of labor and complementary advantages. It is necessary to adhere to the concept of systems and the concept of a game of chess, based on the objective reality that there are differences in resource endowment, industrial base and development conditions, effectively mobilize the enthusiasm, initiative and creativity of all localities, avoid low-level redundant construction and disorderly and excessive expansion of production capacity, and pay attention to the coordinated development of new industrialization, urbanization and agricultural modernization. It is necessary to guide the industrial layout to be reasonable with the strategy of regional coordinated development, major regional strategy and main functional area strategy, and form a regional economic layout with reasonable division of labor, complementary advantages and high-quality development by firmly grasping their respective functional positioning and giving full play to their comparative advantages and location advantages. It is necessary to improve the functional role of economic development zones, high-tech zones, industrial parks and other parks in view of outstanding problems such as overlapping functional positioning, convergence of industrial layout, weak agglomeration effect, and vicious competition for investment promotion, and promote the upgrading of the quality and efficiency of the national new industrialization industry demonstration base. It is necessary to strengthen international cooperation in industrial and supply chains, strive to achieve leaps and bounds in open competition, and constantly add new momentum for development and expand new space for development.

Fourth, we will focus on deep integration and empowerment, and strive to enrich the background of a strong, green and low-carbon industry. It is necessary to vigorously promote the deep integration of digital technology and the real economy, and give full play to the advantages of China's super-large-scale market, massive data resources, and rich application scenarios to accelerate industrial digital transformation in view of the complex scenarios of the industrial industry, the bottlenecks faced by digital transformation, and the diversified and diverse needs. It is necessary to attach great importance to the innovative application of artificial intelligence, accelerate the construction of infrastructure and service systems such as networks and computing power, open up the main arteries of digital infrastructure, build a solid digital security barrier, realize the large-scale application of the industrial Internet, and promote interconnection, co-construction and sharing. It is necessary to comprehensively promote the green and low-carbon development of industry. At present, China's industrial energy consumption accounts for about 2/3 of the total, and carbon emissions account for about 70%, which is the top priority to achieve the goal of carbon peak and carbon neutrality. It is necessary to implement the requirements of "dual control" of carbon emissions, do a good job in carbon reduction, pollution reduction, green expansion and growth, and steadily promote carbon peaking in key industries such as coal power, iron and steel, nonferrous metals, building materials, petrochemicals, and chemicals. Explore the establishment of a carbon pricing system that is in line with national conditions and internationally recognized, improve the structure of industrial energy consumption, increase the proportion of clean energy, rely on technological innovation to continuously improve the energy efficiency level of the manufacturing industry, and comprehensively promote the high-end, intelligent and green development of the manufacturing industry.

Gather a strong synergy to promote new industrialization

Promoting new industrialization is a systematic project related to the overall strategic situation, and we must have the courage to pioneer and innovate and take responsibility, and gather the wisdom to accelerate the promotion of new industrialization.

The first is to adhere to the effective market and provide strong support. From the perspective of the general law of industrialization, the market size and capacity of a country determine the breadth and depth of the division of labor, and the breadth and depth of the division of labor determine the level of industrial development. The large-scale domestic market is a significant advantage of China's new industrialization, and it is also a strong support for promoting new industrialization. Only by speeding up the formation of a unified national market, building a high-standard market system, and promoting the full and unimpeded flow of various commodities and factor resources can we enhance the economies of scale and economies of scope, alleviate the tightening constraints on factor resources faced by industrial development, and create favorable conditions for speeding up new-type industrialization. From the perspective of the market system of various factors, it is necessary to effectively accelerate the pace of market-oriented reform of factors in view of the difficulties in confirming the rights, pricing, and circulation of production factors such as data, so as to promote the full development of various factor markets, improve the efficiency and effectiveness of allocation, and fully transform them into real productive forces. From the point of view of resolutely breaking down market barriers, it is necessary to focus on resolving the thresholds, obstacles, or barriers set up in some areas in terms of market access and in some fields in bidding and procurement, and eliminate local protection and market segmentation factors that hinder a unified market and fair competition. By optimizing the way of market supervision, upholding the principle of inclusiveness and prudence, encouraging innovation and exploration, improving the level of legalization, standardization and transparency of supervision, and striving to maintain the order of fair competition in the market.

The second is to insist on a promising government and provide a strong guarantee. It is necessary to continuously improve the accuracy, sustainability and depth of policy supply, realize the coordinated linkage of various policies such as finance and taxation, finance, investment, environmental protection, science and technology, and land, optimize and improve the implementation methods, and form a compound superposition effect. From the perspective of industrial policy supply, it is necessary to firmly establish a strong sense of industrial policy support to promote new industrialization, and increase support for industry, especially for advanced manufacturing and key industrial chains. Continuously improve the level of industrial governance capabilities, fully implement existing policies and measures, and promote policy resources to concentrate on advanced manufacturing and key industrial chains in a more vigorous, larger, and more targeted manner. In terms of fiscal and taxation policies, it is necessary to implement the value-added tax deduction policy for advanced manufacturing enterprises, improve the insurance compensation mechanism for the first (set) major technical equipment and the first batch of key new materials, and study and introduce the first version of the software insurance compensation policy. From the perspective of financial policy supply, it is necessary to adhere to serving the real economy, gradually expand the scale of medium and long-term loans and credit loans in the manufacturing industry, encourage continuous innovation of financial products, improve the multi-level financial service system, and guide all kinds of social capital to invest in new investment, early investment, small investment and hard technology.

The third is to insist on activating enterprises and providing strong guarantees. In the final analysis, new industrialization must be realized by enterprises, and only when enterprises are strong can the industry be strong, and only when the industry is strong can the country be strong. It is necessary to further promote and promote the complementary advantages of all kinds of enterprises, compete on the same stage, and develop together, and further grasp the cultivation of large and small, gradient development, and synergy, not only to cultivate more world-class enterprises with international competitiveness, but also to cultivate specialized and special new enterprises that focus on subdivided industries and fields and master unique skills. As the backbone of promoting new industrialization, state-owned enterprises should be based on national needs and industrial trends, focus on better serving the national strategy, aiming at the international advanced level, in-depth implementation of state-owned enterprise reform and deepening and upgrading actions, and play a demonstration and leading role in tackling key core technologies, laying out new industries and new tracks, and ensuring the supply of strategic resources. Private enterprises account for more than 7 percent of the number of industrial enterprises above designated size, and are an indispensable and important force in promoting new industrialization. Efforts should be made to optimize the environment for the development of the private economy and earnestly help private enterprises solve practical problems. It is necessary to stimulate the vitality of power, boost the confidence of enterprises, enhance the expectations of enterprises, promote the entrepreneurial spirit, and promote more outstanding enterprises to stand out and develop in fair competition.
