China News Service, Beijing, January 31 (Reporter Li Jinlei) How the economy of various parts of China will do in 2024, the provincial two sessions are an important window for observation. Currently, 31 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities have proposed expected economic growth targets for 2024. In terms of specific measures, focusing on the "innovation card" and creating new driving forces for new quality productivity have become key tasks for local planning.
31 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities have finalized economic growth targets for 2024
Judging from the New Year GDP targets finalized by various provinces, the vast majority of provinces are not less than 5%. Among them, Hainan and Tibet have set their 2024 growth targets at about 8%, the highest in the country.
The top three economic provinces, Guangdong, Jiangsu, and Shandong, have unanimously set their 2024 GDP growth target at 5%, but the specific expressions are slightly different. Guangdong is 5%, and Jiangsu and Shandong are both above 5%.
In the past year, these three major economic provinces have achieved new breakthroughs. Guangdong became the first province in the country with a GDP exceeding 13 trillion yuan, Jiangsu became the first province in the country with five "trillion cities", and Shandong's GDP It exceeded 9 trillion yuan for the first time. Standing at a new starting point, Guangdong Sulu continues to work steadily and strives to shoulder the responsibility of leading the economic province.
Beijing and Shanghai have also anchored their 2024 economic growth target at around 5%. Among them, Beijing’s growth target this year is higher than last year’s “more than 4.5%”. The Beijing Municipal Development and Reform Commission stated that this is a need to stabilize expectations, boost confidence, and achieve important people's livelihood goals such as employment and residents' income.
Chongqing has set its economic growth target for 2024 at around 6%. Chongqing said that this goal is "a jump away, within reach", which reflects self-pressure, proactive action, and striving to achieve better results in actual work.

Focusing on the "innovation brand" to create new quality productivity
The goal has been set, how to achieve it is the key. According to the deployment of the Central Economic Work Conference, "leading the construction of a modern industrial system with technological innovation" is placed at the top of the key tasks. The conference emphasized the need to promote industrial innovation with technological innovation, especially disruptive technologies and cutting-edge technologies to spawn new industries and new models. , new kinetic energy, and develop new qualitative productivity.
The specific arrangements proposed by various localities for 2024 also closely follow this requirement, highlight the "innovation brand", firmly grasp the "narrow nose" of technological innovation, and strive to create new quality productivity.
Lay out future industries.
Vigorously developing future industries is a strategic choice to lead scientific and technological progress, promote industrial upgrading, and cultivate new productive forces. Striving to create a future industrial pilot area has become a "first mover" for many provinces to compete.
Guangdong, which "adheres to the real economy as its foundation and manufacturing as its dominant force", proposes to implement five major future industry cluster action plans, advance the layout of future industries such as 6G, quantum technology, life sciences, and humanoid robots, and create a national future industry pilot zone. Shanghai also proposed to cultivate and upgrade high-end industrial clusters such as new energy vehicles, high-end equipment, advanced materials, civil aviation, and space information, and accelerate the creation of future industrial pilot areas. Shandong has made it clear that it supports Jinan, Qingdao and Yantai in building future industrial pilot zones. Zhejiang proposed to support Hangzhou and Ningbo in striving to create future industrial pilot zones.
Open up new tracks.
Beijing proposes to open up new tracks for future industries such as quantum, life sciences, and 6G. Jiangsu requires opening up new tracks for future network, quantum, life sciences, hydrogen energy and new energy storage, deep sea, deep earth, aerospace and other industries.
Breakthrough in key technologies.
Hubei proposes to focus on breaking through "stuck" technologies such as high-end AI chips, intelligent CNC machine tools, and high-end medical equipment, and proactively plan for "nuclear explosion points" of science and technology innovation with a scale of hundreds of billions, such as biosynthesis and aerospace technology, and build an innovation track. The "card position" advantage. Beijing requires accelerating the promotion of major integrated circuit projects and achieving greater breakthroughs in fields such as optoelectronic integration and chip technology.
2024 is a critical year for China's sustained economic recovery and high-quality development. Each province aims at new productive forces, takes scientific and technological innovation as a guide, stimulates new momentum, and continues to work hard to promote high-quality economic development to a new level.
