China News Service, March 8: "Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, my country's new industrialization has accelerated significantly, forming unique advantages, which can be expressed in four words as 'complete, multiple, large and strong'."
On March 8, the second "Ministerial Channel" of the second session of the 14th National People's Congress was held in the Great Hall of the People. Jin Zhuanglong, Minister of Industry and Information Technology, said this in an interview.
Five sets of data look at my country’s new industrialization
Complete system, many varieties, large scale, strong network facilities...Jin Zhuanglong vividly summarized the special situation of my country's new industrialization with five sets of data:
Our country now has all the industrial categories in the United Nations Industrial Classification, which are 41 major categories and 666 sub-categories;
Among the 500 industrial varieties in the world, more than 40% of our country's product output ranks first in the world;
In 2023, our country's total industrial added value will be close to 40 trillion yuan, about 39.9 trillion yuan, accounting for 31.7% of GDP;
Our country's manufacturing industry accounts for more than 30% of the world's total, ranking first in the world for 14 consecutive years;
Our country has built the world's largest and most technologically advanced communications network facilities. The number of 5G base stations has reached 3.38 million, enabling cities to have Gigabit connectivity, counties to have 5G connectivity, and every village to have broadband access.
Promote artificial intelligence to empower new industrialization
Jin Zhuanglong said that our country is still in a critical period of growing from big to strong and climbing over obstacles, and there are many shortcomings and weaknesses that need to be resolved.
"At present, a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation are developing in depth, and we are facing both opportunities and challenges. We are confident that we will base ourselves on the foundation, seize opportunities, overcome difficulties, and accelerate development."
He pointed out that we must make every effort to maintain the upward trend of the industrial economy, make every effort to promote high-quality actions in key manufacturing industry chains, accelerate the construction of a modern industrial system with advanced manufacturing as the backbone, and strive to enhance industrial scientific and technological innovation capabilities.
"Traditional industries cannot be simply withdrawn as low-end industries. They must be allowed to sprout from old trees. Advantageous industries must be consolidated and improved, maintain their competitive advantages and leading positions, and continue to create a number of Made-in-China products with international influence." Brand. As we all know, large aircraft, gas turbines, and large cruise ships have all been breakthroughs made through major research in recent years."
Jin Zhuanglong also pointed out that we must give full play to the main role of enterprises in innovation. What everyone is generally concerned about is the deep integration of technological innovation and industrial innovation. This is a big article.
Our country has 178 high-tech zones and 465,000 national high-tech enterprises. We must give full play to their role, which means three sentences: develop high technology, realize industrialization, and accelerate the formation of new productive forces.
He said that in promoting the deep integration of informatization and industrialization, we will focus on two aspects.
"On the one hand, we must consolidate and enhance the competitive advantages and leading position in the information and communication industry, and build 5G, computing power and other information facilities appropriately ahead of schedule. We must continue to promote the large-scale application of the industrial Internet and promote 5G to empower 'thousands of industries.' At the same time, , we must strengthen the evolution of 5G, support the development of 5G-A, and increase the research and development of 6G technology. On the other hand, we must promote the digital, networked, and intelligent development of the manufacturing industry. One is to promote the digital transformation of the manufacturing industry, which we need to classify Advance, and at the same time carry out the 'artificial intelligence +' action to promote artificial intelligence to empower new industrialization."
In addition, Jin Zhuanglong emphasized that to promote new industrialization, we must further deepen reform and expand opening up.
This year, we will completely lift restrictions on foreign investment in the manufacturing sector, and we are also preparing to pilot the opening of value-added telecommunications services such as Internet data centers.
Polish the golden signboard of specialized, specialized and new enterprises
There are more than 50 million small and medium-sized enterprises in our country, which are large in size and wide in scope, connecting thousands of households and supporting thousands of industries.
Promoting the specialized and innovative development of small and medium-sized enterprises is an important task.
Jin Zhuanglong said that so far, our country has cultivated 124,000 specialized, special and new small and medium-sized enterprises, of which 12,000 are specialized, special and new "little giant" enterprises.
"These companies have played an important role in strengthening and extending the chain."
"We must introduce policies and measures to promote the high-quality development of small and medium-sized enterprises that are specialized, specialized, and innovative, and continue to polish the golden signboard of 'specialized, specialized, innovative,' and make it 'genuine.'" Jin Zhuanglong said that we must promote the implementation of digital empowerment of small and medium-sized enterprises. Special actions have been taken to further promote urban pilot projects for the digital transformation of small and medium-sized enterprises. The central government has supported more than 40,000 small and medium-sized enterprises in implementing digital transformation for three consecutive years.
In terms of optimizing the environment, it is necessary to fully implement the "Law on the Promotion of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises" and implement the "Regulations on Guaranteeing Payments to Small and Medium-sized Enterprises".
At the same time, financial support must be strengthened to provide guarantees for small and medium-sized enterprises in terms of energy, personnel, data, and land use.
In terms of strengthening services, we will continue to improve the public service system for small and medium-sized enterprises, and work with relevant departments to carry out a series of activities to serve small and medium-sized enterprises.
"We also have a national small and medium-sized enterprise development fund, which should play a good role in supporting entrepreneurship, innovation and creation of small and medium-sized enterprises."
In terms of promoting integration, the leading role of chain owners should be further brought into play to allow more small and medium-sized enterprises to participate in the development of key industrial chains; the government should build a docking platform to promote the integrated development of large, small and medium-sized enterprises.
"This year we will focus on building about 100 special industry clusters for small and medium-sized enterprises. Now there are 200." Jin Zhuanglong said.
