The "Recommendations of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on Formulating the Fifteenth Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development" (hereinafter referred to as the "Recommendations") reviewed and approved by the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China puts "building a modern industrial system and consolidating and strengthening the foundation of the real economy" at the top of the strategic tasks, emphasizing that " "Insisting on putting the focus of economic development on the real economy" and proposing a strategic plan to promote the development direction of "intelligent, green and integrated" industries, profoundly reveals the characteristics of the times when my country's economic development is shifting from a high-speed growth stage to a high-quality development stage, and points out the main direction for the optimization and upgrading of the industrial system. The "Recommendations" clearly propose to optimize and upgrade traditional industries, cultivate and expand emerging industries and future industries, promote high-quality and efficient development of the service industry, and build a modern infrastructure system.
The real economy is the foundation of the national economy and the lifeblood of comprehensive national strength. Currently, the global industrial chain, supply chain, and value chain are being restructured at an accelerated pace, and my country is in a critical period of transition from "quantitative expansion" to "qualitative improvement" and from a "manufacturing power" to a "manufacturing power". Only by empowering industrial upgrading with intelligence, leading sustainable development with greening, and improving system efficiency with integration can we win strategic initiative in the complex and ever-changing international competition landscape.
Focus on the direction of "three modernizations": the choice of the times to consolidate and strengthen the foundation of the real economy
The establishment of a country depends on industry, and the strengthening of a country depends on entities. The real economy is the "ballast stone" of Chinese-style modernization and the "fixing star" that stabilizes the economic course of a major country. The real economy plays an important strategic role in ensuring industrial security, enhancing national competitiveness, and promoting high-quality development, and is the foundation of the modern industrial system. Judging from international experience, a strong real economy has always been an important support for major economies to maintain their competitive advantages. The United States implements a reindustrialization strategy to promote the reshoring of manufacturing chains such as semiconductors, artificial intelligence, and clean energy; Germany reshapes its manufacturing system with "Industry 4.0" and achieves deep integration of digitalization and greening; Japan has long insisted on "manufacturing as a nation" and has firmly maintained its position at the high end of the industrial chain with its precision manufacturing and material technology. Looking at global experience, only a strong entity can make the economy stable; only a strong innovation can make it stable and long-term.
For our country, the real economy is not only the carrier of employment, the source of innovation, but also the material basis for the development of new productive forces. The added value of my country's manufacturing industry accounts for about 30% of the world's total, ranking first in the world for 15 consecutive years. It has outstanding advantages in high-speed rail, photovoltaics, ships, 5G equipment and other fields. The export of the "three new items" continues to strengthen, demonstrating the increasing independent controllability of the industrial chain. my country's real economy is in a critical period of transformation from "quantitative accumulation" to "qualitative leap" and from "factor-driven" to "innovation-driven". However, while seeing the achievements, we must also be clearly aware that our country's real economy still faces complex and diverse risk challenges. On the one hand, the restructuring of the global industrial chain is accelerating, the risk of "stuck" key core technologies still exists, uncertainties such as w88 protectionism, green barriers, and data barriers have increased, and the external environment has become more complex than ever. On the other hand, internal structural contradictions have not yet been eradicated, and some industries still have the problem of being "big but not strong" and "complete but not refined." Phenomenons such as duplication of construction, homogeneous competition, and resource misallocation restrict efficiency improvements. Some emerging industries are still in the growth stage, and the innovation chain, industrial chain, and value chain are not smoothly connected. The transformation and upgrading of traditional manufacturing industries is still an arduous task.
This dual dilemma of "external blockage" and "involution" requires the real economy to not only break through in global competition, but also innovate itself in the internal system. The key to solving this problem lies in grasping the "three modernizations" direction - empowering industrial upgrading with intelligence, leading sustainable development with greening, and improving system efficiency with integration. Intelligence drives the industry from "manufacturing" to "intelligent manufacturing", using data to drive innovation and algorithms to improve efficiency; greening promotes energy revolution and ecological optimization, leading to sustainable economic development; integration opens up industrial boundaries and achieves deep collaboration between manufacturing and service industries, and the digital economy and the real economy. Only by taking the "three modernizations" as the traction, turning external risks into the driving force for innovation, and turning internal contradictions into opportunities for transformation, can we achieve the leap from a manufacturing power to a manufacturing power, and win strategic initiative in the new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation.
Clear the connotation of "three modernizations": grasp the logical main line of optimization and upgrading of the industrial system
First, intelligence is the “core engine” driving industrial upgrading.
Intelligence is the leading force leading a new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation, and is the key engine that promotes the optimization and upgrading of the industrial system. The "Recommendations" clearly stated that we should "adhere to the direction of intelligence, greenness and integration", pointing out the direction for accelerating the deep integration of digital technology and the real economy. At present, cutting-edge technology groups such as new generation artificial intelligence, cloud computing, blockchain, and industrial Internet are making breakthroughs. Digital elements are accelerating their penetration into production, circulation, management, services, etc., promoting the systematic reshaping of industrial organizations, production methods, and competition patterns. The core of intelligence is to use data as the new production factor, algorithms as the key driving force, and intelligent manufacturing as the main carrier to achieve automation, flexibility, and precision of the production process, and promote the "quality improvement and renewal" of traditional industries, the "accelerated growth" of emerging industries, and the "accelerated gestation" of future industries.
Intelligence can promote the optimization and upgrading of the industrial system, which fundamentally lies in the realization of the reorganization of the factor structure and the improvement of the efficiency mechanism. At the micro level, artificial intelligence unleashes the potential of traditional factors, promoting collaboration between workers and machines, intelligent decision-making, and precise configuration; at the meso level, corporate organizations accelerate the transformation to flattening and networking, and cross-industry and cross-regional collaboration becomes closer, forming a co-created and shared industrial ecology; at the macro level, intelligence promotes the transformation of the industrial structure from "quantitative expansion" to "qualitative leap", realizing the mutual promotion of "stock innovation" in traditional industries and "incremental breakthroughs" in emerging industries. With its ultra-large-scale market, complete industrial system and continuously optimized policy environment, my country has unique advantages in the integrated development of "artificial intelligence +". Facing the future, intelligence will continue to inject strong momentum into my country's real economy through the coordinated advancement of technological innovation, institutional supply, and scenario expansion, becoming an important driving force supporting China's modernization.
Second, greening is the “clear background” for high-quality development.
Greening is an inherent requirement for high-quality economic development and an important path to promote the optimization and upgrading of the industrial system. The "Recommendations" clearly state that "coordinated promotion of carbon reduction, pollution reduction, green expansion, and growth" provide fundamental guidelines for building a modernization in which man and nature coexist harmoniously. The core of greening is to use green technology, green energy, and green manufacturing as the driving force to promote systematic changes in production methods, energy structures, and consumption patterns, and to achieve a dynamic balance between economic growth and the ecological environment.
From a practical perspective, greening reshapes the structure and efficiency of the industrial system through the coordinated advancement of "carbon reduction, pollution reduction, green expansion, and growth". Carbon reduction is the fundamental path. By optimizing the energy structure and developing new energy and energy-saving technologies, we will promote high-energy-consuming industries to accelerate low-carbon transformation; pollution reduction is a key link, accelerating pollution control and waste resource utilization, and promoting green and clean production processes; green expansion is a strategic space, relying on production. Ecological restoration, green infrastructure and natural capital cultivation will expand the boundaries of green industries and release the economic value of "green waters and green mountains"; growth is the ultimate goal, and ecological advantages will be transformed into competitive advantages and growth momentum through a virtuous cycle of green finance, green supply chain and green consumption. Currently, my country's photovoltaic, wind power, energy storage, new energy vehicle and other industries continue to grow, and the development logic of greening is shifting from "environmental constraints" to "development engines." By reducing carbon to fix the bottom line, reducing pollution to improve quality, expanding green to increase momentum, and using growth as a strong support, our country is realizing a historical leap from high speed to high quality, from high consumption to high efficiency, and is contributing Chinese wisdom and Chinese strength to the global green transformation.
Third, integration is the “key lever” to release system efficiency.
Integration is the "key lever" for the optimization of the modern industrial system structure and the core driving force for improving system efficiency and expanding development space. The "Recommendations" propose to "promote the deep integration of technological innovation and industrial innovation" and provide strategic guidance for building a new industrial pattern with efficient collaboration and complementary advantages. The essence of integration lies in breaking the boundaries of traditional industries, realizing the deep embedding of technology and the cross-border flow of elements, thereby releasing systemic efficiency dividends for the whole society.
On the practical path, integration is accelerating the birth of new productive forces. The manufacturing and service industries are deeply integrated, and the manufacturing process has shifted from "product-oriented" to "service-oriented": intelligent equipment, productive services, and industrial design have developed rapidly, and the proportion of manufacturing services as a service continues to increase. The integration of the digital economy and the real economy promotes "industry cloud migration" and "enterprise blockchain migration": According to some statistics, more than 77% of enterprises across the country have carried out digital transformation, and the industrial Internet logo analysis system has covered 31 provinces across the country. The results of the integration of technological innovation and industrial innovation are also becoming increasingly prominent, and innovation elements are flowing efficiently on a larger scale. The development logic of integration is moving from "superposition of factors" to "system reconstruction", which not only reshapes the organizational methods of industrial chains and innovation chains, but also profoundly changes production relations and governance systems. Through integrated development, traditional industries gain new momentum, emerging industries form new clusters, future industries breed new tracks, and modern service industries are more closely integrated with advanced manufacturing and modern agriculture. Promoting innovation through integration and strengthening integration through innovation are becoming the only way to build a modern industrial system and enhance national competitiveness.
Intelligence, greenness, and integration complement each other and work together to form a new productivity paradigm that promotes the leap forward in the industrial system. Intelligentization empowers innovation-driven development, greening creates sustainable advantages, and integration improves system efficiency. The three support each other and are organically unified to jointly promote deep changes in production methods, industrial structures, and governance systems. Taking the "three modernizations" synergy as the path, we will build an industrial system with integrity, advancement and safety, and provide solid material and technical support for China's modernization. Only by correctly grasping the direction of the "three modernizations" and deepening the coordination of the "three modernizations" can we win the initiative in the new round of global technological revolution and industrial transformation, build a future-oriented modern industrial system, and inject inexhaustible momentum into the construction of a strong country and national rejuvenation.
Collaboratively promote the implementation of "three modernizations": build a solid industrial foundation for the modern industrial system
First, strengthen the drive for innovation and forge the "strong core" for the development of "three modernizations".
Innovation is the first driving force for development and the fundamental engine for promoting the collaborative implementation of intelligence, greenness, and integration. Facing the new pattern of accelerated global technological revolution and industrial transformation, whoever can make breakthroughs in key technologies and cutting-edge fields will be able to take the initiative in industrial competition. In recent years, the world's major economies have seized strategic highlands such as artificial intelligence, quantum technology, biomanufacturing, and advanced materials to create new competitive advantages through technological innovation. For our country, the key to strengthening innovation drive is to break the bottleneck of core technologies being controlled by others and build an independent, controllable, safe and efficient innovation system. It is necessary to adhere to equal emphasis on demand orientation and basic research, strengthen original and leading scientific and technological research, and form an innovation ecosystem with enterprises as the main body, market as the guide, and deep integration of industry, academia and research. Through the collaborative coupling of the innovation chain with the industrial chain, capital chain, and talent chain, the transformation and application of scientific and technological achievements will be accelerated, and total factor productivity and industrial system efficiency will be improved. Taking technological innovation as the core support for the development of new productive forces, we will consolidate the foundation for the development of "three modernizations" with stronger independent innovation capabilities, and inject continuous momentum into the modern industrial system.
Second, promote industrial quality improvement by category and use the “three-step” approach to strengthen industrial momentum.
The key to realizing the implementation of "three modernizations" lies in promoting the quality and efficiency of industries in categories and building a virtuous cycle of structural optimization and kinetic energy conversion. It is necessary to adhere to the systematic thinking of "consolidation and upgrading" of traditional industries, "cluster cultivation" of emerging industries, and "forward-looking layout" of future industries, and coordinate the promotion of structural adjustment and dynamic reshaping. Traditional industries must take technological transformation as the starting point, deepen intelligent and green transformation, optimize production processes and energy structures, promote the transformation of key industries such as mining, metallurgy, chemical industry, light industry, textile, machinery, shipbuilding, and construction into high-end, intelligent, and green directions, and release trillion-level market space. Emerging industries should take cluster development as the path, focus on new energy, new materials, aerospace, low-altitude economy and other fields, improve the industrial chain layout, strengthen strategic emerging industry clusters, and form a dual-wheel resonance of innovation drive and scale effect. Future industries must be guided by forward-looking layouts and deploy advanced directions such as quantum technology, biomanufacturing, hydrogen energy and nuclear fusion energy, brain-computer interfaces, embodied intelligence, and sixth-generation mobile communications to cultivate new growth poles and create new advantages in international competition. Through the dynamic evolution of "old trees sprouting new branches", "new trees forming forests" and "new sprouts breaking ground", we will promote the overall leap of the industrial system and inject lasting momentum into high-quality development.
Third, optimize the guarantee of factors and build a benign ecology for the development of "three modernizations".
The key to the coordinated implementation of the "three modernizations" lies in building a solid ecology of factors and optimizing institutional guarantees. It is necessary to adhere to policy guidance and market mechanisms in parallel, strengthen the coordination and coordination of fiscal, financial, industrial and other policies, and improve the support chain from R&D investment to achievement transformation. By improving the medium- and long-term financing system of the manufacturing industry and developing green financial instruments, we will provide precise support for the digital and green transformation of enterprises. It is necessary to deepen the market-oriented reform of factors, break down industry barriers and regional divisions, optimize the business environment and property rights protection mechanisms, and make capital more efficient and talents more dynamic. At the same time, it is necessary to forge a team of cadres and entrepreneurs who understand the industry, are practical, and good at innovation, promote government-enterprise collaboration, industry-finance integration, and science and technology innovation interaction, and create an open, inclusive, symbiotic and win-win development ecosystem. Optimizing factor guarantees is not only a basic project for economic operation, but also an institutional guarantee for promoting the continuous implementation of intelligence, greenness, and integration. Only by keeping the fire of innovation burning and the roots of industry evergreen can we gather together to form a long-term synergy for high-quality development and provide solid institutional support and lasting growth momentum for China-style modernization.
Intelligent, green and integrated are the strategic directions for building a modern industrial system and the engine of the times leading high-quality development. Facing the new journey, we must deeply grasp the strategic deployment of the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, gather the consensus of the times of "rejuvenating the country through industry and hard work", activate the vitality of the real economy through the practice of "three modernizations", build a solid material and technological foundation for Chinese modernization, consolidate the foundation of a strong country, gather the power of rejuvenation, and write a chapter of the times in the new journey of high-quality development that rejuvenates the country through industry and builds the foundation for a strong country.
