(A closer look at China) From Shanghai to the sea, Xi Jinping asked about China's opening up
China News Service, Beijing, November 13 (Reporter Liang Xiaohui) Shortly after the Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, President of the State, and Chairman of the Central Military Commission came to Shanghai Pudong on the 12th to attend the 30th Anniversary Celebration of Pudong Development and Opening-up.
After the Fifth Plenary Session of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China conducted a systematic plan for China’s future development, Xi Jinping, based in Pudong, once again explained a number of "keywords" related to China's future development, such as strengthening the innovation engine, high-level institutional opening, and building a new development pattern. Declare.
Shanghai is a special presence in China's urban map. It has a very important position in the overall work of the party and the country. It is also a pioneer in the advancement of many major tasks in China.
Observers have noticed that when Xi Jinping set foot in Shanghai at many important time points, he has the meaning of "dissecting the sparrow", "seeing the big from the small" and "radiating the whole country."
In October 2017, only one week after the closing of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Xi Jinping led a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee to Shanghai to pay a visit to the site of the First National Congress of the Communist Party of China.
In November 2019, after the Fourth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee, Xi Jinping also chose Shanghai for his first local visit. A number of arrangements focused on the modernization of the governance system and governance capabilities, which were regarded as strengthening the implementation of the spirit of the Fourth Plenary Session.
And this time in Shanghai, Xi Jinping repositioned Pudong’s next development: “Dare to take the heaviest burden, gnaw the hardest bones, and strive to become a pioneer of higher-level reform and opening up, and a pioneer in the comprehensive construction of a modern socialist country. "Four self-confidence" practical examples"...In the eyes of observers, the central government’s positioning of Pudong takes the overall situation into consideration, and Pudong has once again become a “key player” concerning the overall situation.
In particular, Xi Jinping mentioned that the Party Central Committee is studying and formulating the "Opinions on Supporting the Pudong New Area's High-Level Reform and Opening up and Building a Leading Area for Socialist Modernization."
This means that Pudong New Area has been given the new heavy responsibility of reform and opening up, and the future construction path it explores is related to the overall construction of socialist modernization.
——Strengthen the innovation engine.
"Science and technology have never had such a profound impact on the future and destiny of the country, and has never had such a profound impact on the happiness and well-being of the people. The economic and social development of our country needs more scientific and technological solutions than ever before, and it is more important to enhance innovation as the number one priority. Motivation." Xi Jinping’s statement shows the clear understanding of Chinese senior officials on the issue of technological innovation.
In his speech at the conference, he emphasized that we must fight for the key core technologies, accelerate the transformation of scientific and technological achievements into actual productivity, improve the level of the industrial chain, and make more new contributions to ensure the stability of the national industrial chain supply chain.
Professor Zhu Lijia of the Central Party School (National School of Administration) pointed out that China’s scientific and technological development is in a period of rapid advancement. In the fourth technological revolution, China is basically in a parallel or even lead in the fields of artificial intelligence, biotechnology, and cloud computing. Among them, there are many advantages of Pudong.
However, it cannot be denied that, compared with some developed countries, China's progress in basic scientific research fields such as chips is still lagging behind.
The key to changing this situation is to make every effort to strengthen the innovation engine.
As a technological "leader", Pudong is obliged to explore the overall path for China's innovation and development.
——High-level institutional opening.
"Opening to the outside world" is a key word in Xi Jinping's series of speeches this year: At the twentieth meeting of the Council of Heads of State of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization a few days ago, Xi Jinping stated to the world that China will unswervingly pursue a mutually beneficial and win-win opening. strategy.
"All parties are welcome to seize the new opportunities for China's development and actively deepen cooperation with China." At the opening ceremony of the 3rd CIIE earlier, Xi Jinping also announced a number of new measures for China to expand its opening up.
At the celebration meeting, Xi Jinping once again stated that opening to the outside world is China's basic national policy and cannot be shaken at any time.
He especially emphasized that open cooperation is still a historical trend, and mutual benefit and win-win are still the aspirations of the people.
"All countries, regions and companies that are willing to cooperate with us, we must actively cooperate."
He proposed that Pudong should focus on promoting the institutional opening of rules, regulations, management, and standards, provide high-level institutional supply, high-quality product supply, and high-efficiency capital supply, and better participate in international cooperation and competition.
Dai Yanjun, a professor at the Central Party School (National School of Administration), pointed out that from attitudes to measures to systems, China has shown a high level of determination to open up, and that openness is still the key word for China's future development.
"Pudong, as the first place to lead the trend of opening up, is of great significance to China's high-level opening up in the future by exploring institutional opening up measures and accumulating relevant experience."
——Construct a new development pattern.
Constructing a new development pattern in which the domestic big cycle is the main body and the domestic and international double cycles promote each other is considered an inevitable choice for China's economic development, and it is also an important deployment of the Fifth Plenary Session of China's future development.
However, there are still voices from the outside world deliberately splitting, giving rise to misunderstandings such as "China's economy will turn inward" and "China will operate in a closed manner."
At the celebration meeting, Xi Jinping used the "ocean" as a metaphor for the Chinese economy and the world economy, and once again responded to this view: "The world's oceans and oceans are interconnected. Anyone who attempts to artificially hinder the world's oceans and oceans can only be An overpowering fantasy!"
Chen Fengying, a researcher at the Institute of World Economics of the China Institute of Modern International Relations, believes that in the past, China advocated integrating into the world, integrating with the world, and participating in the world. Today, the world is more uncertain. China takes the initiative to reform, open up, and innovate to create a world and attract the world. Come in, this is the "double loop".
Pudong has been a leader in reform and opening up in the past 30 years. In the current new round of reform and opening up, Pudong is expected to become a dual-cycle strategic link and form a new batch of popular and replicable experiences. "This is not only for China, It is equally important to the world".
