  Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has visited Liaoning twice and participated in the deliberations of the Liaoning delegation twice during the National Two Sessions.

  Bearing in mind the general secretary's entrustment, Liaoning rolled stones up the mountain and climbed the slopes to write a new chapter of comprehensive revitalization and all-round revitalization.

"To make state-owned enterprises the 'leader' of Liaoning's revitalization"

  On March 7, 2017, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out when participating in the deliberation of the Liaoning delegation at the Fifth Session of the Twelfth National People's Congress that state-owned enterprises should be regarded as the "leader" of Liaoning's revitalization.

  Liaoning, known as the "eldest son of the Republic's industry", gathers a group of large state-owned enterprises that are related to national industrial security and the lifeline of the national economy.

Due to factors such as rigid systems and mechanisms and heavy historical burdens, many state-owned enterprises were once struggling.

  The reform of state-owned enterprises is related to the revitalization of the Northeast, and it is a topic that Liaoning must answer.

  In August 2013 and September 2018, General Secretary Xi Jinping went to Liaoning twice to inspect and investigate state-owned enterprises, and made a series of important instructions on the reform of state-owned enterprises.

Following the direction of the general secretary, the reform of state-owned enterprises in Liaoning entered the "fast lane" and entered the "deep water area".

  In September 2018, General Secretary Xi Jinping came to Liaoyang Petrochemical for inspection.

Knowing that the company has ended 12 consecutive years of losses by adjusting its structure and focusing on innovation, the general secretary said happily: "I hope you will continue to work hard, be consistent, and forge ahead, as the 'seed team' of the Republic, and achieve better results!"

  "In the past few years, we have been focusing on technological innovation and three system reforms on the other. The product structure has been continuously optimized, the enthusiasm of cadres and employees has been greatly improved, and the operating efficiency has continued to improve." Li Guihe, secretary of the Liaoyang Petrochemical Party Committee, said that in April this year, the company realized profits. 416 million yuan, the best monthly profit in history.

  Only through reform can there be a way out, and only through reform can there be a way out.

  In recent years, Liaoning has vigorously promoted three system reforms. 475 provincial enterprises at all levels have signed tenure-based contracts and contracts with 1,406 management members, and 2,910 management personnel of provincial enterprises have achieved competitive employment...

  Reforms should not be just minor repairs. We must have the courage to use the knife on the system and mechanism.

Li Wenhua, vice chairman of the company, said: "After China General Technology Group reorganized the company, the system and mechanism took on a new look. We are undergoing a fundamental change from 'hemostasis' to 'hematopoiesis'."

  The reforms fell in one fell swoop, and the development was fully revitalized.

  In 2021, Liaoning state-owned enterprises will submit such an answer: the added value of industrial enterprises above designated size will increase by 4.6% over the previous year, of which the added value of state-owned and state-controlled enterprises will increase by 8.7%.

  "Form an industrial development pattern with multi-point support, multi-industry development, and diversified development as soon as possible"

  "One pillar of industry and a single structure" used to be a chronic disease that restricted the revitalization and development of Liaoning.
