Xi Jinping delivered an important speech while presiding over the study. He pointed out that since the new era, the CPC Central Committee has made a series of major decisions and deployments, and promoting high-quality development has become the consensus and conscious action of the whole party and the whole society, and has become the main theme of economic and social development. In recent years, China has made fruitful achievements in scientific and technological innovation, and the results of innovation-driven development have become increasingly apparent, the coordination and balance of urban and rural development have been significantly enhanced, the reform and opening up have been comprehensively deepened, and the vitality of development momentum has burst out, and the green and low-carbon transformation has achieved remarkable results, the pace of transformation of development mode has accelerated, and high-quality development has achieved remarkable results. At the same time, there are still a large number of factors restricting high-quality development, which should be attached great importance to and effectively resolved.

Xi Jinping stressed that high-quality development needs to be guided by new productivity theories, and new quality productivity has been formed in practice and demonstrated a strong driving force and support for high-quality development. Generally speaking, the new quality of productivity is the quality of advanced productivity in which innovation plays a leading role, gets rid of the traditional economic growth mode and productivity development path, has the characteristics of high technology, high efficiency and high quality, and conforms to the new development concept. It is born by the revolutionary breakthrough of technology, the innovative allocation of production factors, and the deep transformation and upgrading of the industry, with the basic connotation of laborers, labor materials, labor objects and their optimal combinations, and the substantial increase in total factor productivity as the core symbol, characterized by innovation, the key is high quality, and the essence is advanced productivity.

Xi Jinping pointed out that scientific and technological innovation can give birth to new industries, new models and new kinetic energy, and is the core element of developing new quality productivity. It is necessary to strengthen scientific and technological innovation, especially original and disruptive scientific and technological innovation, accelerate the realization of high-level scientific and technological self-reliance and self-reliance, and do a good job in tackling key core technologies, so that original and disruptive scientific and technological innovation achievements can emerge one after another, and cultivate new momentum for the development of new quality productive forces.

Xi Jinping stressed that it is necessary to apply the achievements of scientific and technological innovation to specific industries and industrial chains in a timely manner, transform and upgrade traditional industries, cultivate and expand emerging industries, lay out and build future industries, and improve the modern industrial system. It is necessary to lay out the industrial chain around the development of new quality productivity, improve the resilience and safety level of the industrial chain and supply chain, and ensure that the industrial system is independent, controllable, safe and reliable. It is necessary to focus on the strategic tasks of promoting new industrialization and accelerating the construction of a manufacturing power, a quality power, a network power, a digital China and an agricultural power, and scientifically lay out scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation. It is necessary to vigorously develop the digital economy, promote the deep integration of the digital economy and the real economy, and build a digital industrial cluster with international competitiveness.

Xi Jinping pointed out that green development is the background color of high-quality development, and new quality productivity itself is green productivity. We must accelerate the green transformation of the development mode and help achieve carbon peak and carbon neutrality. Firmly establish and practice the concept that lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets, and unswervingly follow the path of ecological priority and green development. Accelerate the innovation of green technology and the promotion and application of advanced green technologies, strengthen the green manufacturing industry, develop the green service industry, expand the green energy industry, develop green and low-carbon industries and supply chains, and build a green and low-carbon circular economic system. We will continue to optimize the economic policy toolbox that supports green and low-carbon development, give full play to the leading role of green finance, and build efficient, ecological and green industrial clusters. At the same time, we vigorously advocate a green and healthy lifestyle in the whole society.

Xi Jinping stressed that the relations of production must be compatible with the requirements of the development of productive forces. To develop new quality productive forces, it is necessary to further deepen reform in an all-round way and form a new type of production relationship that is compatible with it. It is necessary to deepen the reform of the economic system and the scientific and technological system, focus on breaking through the blockages that restrict the development of new quality productive forces, establish a high-standard market system, innovate the allocation of production factors, and let all kinds of advanced and high-quality production factors flow smoothly to the development of new quality productive forces. At the same time, it is necessary to open wider to the outside world at a high level and create a good international environment for the development of new-quality productive forces.

Xi Jinping stressed that in accordance with the requirements of the development of new quality productive forces, we should smooth the virtuous circle of education, science and technology, and talents, and improve the working mechanism of talent training, introduction, use, and rational flow. According to the new trend of scientific and technological development, it is necessary to optimize the discipline setting and talent training mode of colleges and universities, and cultivate urgently needed talents for the development of new quality productivity and the promotion of high-quality development. It is necessary to improve the mechanism for the participation of factors in income distribution, stimulate the vitality of production factors such as labor, knowledge, technology, management, capital, and data, better reflect the market value of knowledge, technology, and talent, and create a good atmosphere that encourages innovation and tolerates failure.
