  As far as high-quality development is concerned, it is necessary to further improve high-end, intelligent, and green, so that the manufacturing level can be further improved on the original basis.

  In terms of supply-side structural reforms, it is necessary to implement modern technological transformations in traditional industries and develop strategic emerging industries, such as 5G, new materials, new equipment, etc., as well as communication technology and chips.

However, Xiao Yaqing reminded that the development of emerging industries should not be blindly duplicated, and should be prevented from "rushing into a rush."

  He also said that it is necessary to encourage the development of industrial clusters.

During the "13th Five-Year Plan" period, China's advantageous industrial clusters have developed very well. The next step will be to further improve the advantageous clusters in accordance with the principles of marketization and rule of law.

As system integrators, these companies can continue to lead the development of the industry.

  We must make good use of two markets and two resources.

"The globalization of the international industrial chain and the international industrial division of labor are the general trend, so we must further open up, deepen cooperation with all parties, and achieve more international development." (End)
