"Guangdong is the vanguard, pioneer and experimental area of reform and opening up, and it plays an important position and prominent role in the overall situation of China's modernization." From April 4 to 10, General Secretary Xi Jinping visited Zhanjiang, Maoming, Guangzhou and other places in Guangdong Province, earnestly hoping that Guangdong would "be at the forefront of promoting Chinese-style modernization."

"Chinese-style modernization" is a key word running through this inspection, highlighting the important theme of the general secretary's trip to Guangdong.

Since the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China defined the central task of building a modern and powerful socialist country in an all-round way and comprehensively promoting the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese-style modernization, the general secretary has systematically explained a series of major theoretical and practical issues such as the Chinese characteristics and essential characteristics of Chinese-style modernization on many important occasions.

Fully implementing the first local inspection in the first year of the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the general secretary went deep into Guangdong enterprises, ports, rural areas, etc. to conduct research, and further clarify the direction and guide the path for the practice of Chinese-style modernization.

"Achieving high-level scientific and technological self-reliance and self-improvement is the key to China's modernization." The general secretary emphasized.

Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the general secretary has inspected Guangdong four times, and each time he will enter the enterprise and repeatedly emphasize independent innovation. During this inspection, the general secretary came to GAC AION New Energy Automobile Co., Ltd. to understand the company's breakthrough in key core technologies.

The 2035th National Congress of the Communist Party of China listed "achieving high-level scientific and technological self-reliance and self-improvement and entering the forefront of innovative countries" as one of the overall goals of China's development by <>. During this year's National People's Congress and the National People's Congress, the general secretary clearly pointed out: "The key to whether we can build a modern and powerful socialist country in an all-round way as scheduled depends on self-reliance and self-improvement in science and technology." ”

This time in Guangdong, the general secretary further clarified the key role of achieving high-level scientific and technological self-reliance and self-improvement in China's modernization construction.

The key core technology cannot be obtained, bought, or obtained. Only by realizing the autonomy and controllability of key core technologies can we firmly grasp the initiative of modernization in our own hands. As a big country, we must have a clear understanding of this.

Guangdong's scientific and technological innovation has long been at the forefront of the country. "Strive to make greater progress in breaking through key core technical problems", "Cultivate more innovative enterprises with independent intellectual property rights and core competitiveness", "Build an industrial science and technology innovation center with global influence", "Promote the construction of talent highland in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area"... During this inspection, the general secretary pinned new high hopes on Guangdong.

"Chinese-style modernization cannot take the road of turning reality into virtuality, and we must accelerate the construction of a modern industrial system supported by the real economy." During the inspection, the general secretary pointed out.

The real economy is the foundation of a country's economy and the source of wealth. Advanced manufacturing is a key to the real economy. Practice has proved that a country must have the correct strategic choice in its economic development. China is a big country, we must develop the real economy, continuously promote industrial modernization, improve the level of manufacturing, and cannot turn reality into reality.

The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China clearly pointed out that we should persist in focusing our efforts on the real economy for economic development. The general secretary visited Guangdong this time, once again in-depth research on manufacturing enterprises, emphasizing that "we must pay attention to the real economy" and "cannot take the road of turning reality into reality", which once again released a clear signal.

Deeply understand the great importance that the general secretary attaches to the manufacturing industry and the real economy, and firmly grasp the three words of "modernization", benchmark the primary task of high-quality development and the strategic task of building a new development pattern, and understand the far-sighted foresight to better coordinate development and security.

During this inspection, the general secretary put forward clear requirements for Guangdong: "We must always adhere to the establishment of the province with manufacturing, pay more attention to the development of the real economy, accelerate industrial transformation and upgrading, promote the advanced industrial foundation, modernize the industrial chain, develop strategic emerging industries, and build a modern industrial system with more international competitiveness." ”

During this inspection, the general secretary investigated the issue of coordinated regional development and stressed: "Common prosperity of all the people is the essential feature of China's modernization, and coordinated regional development is an inevitable requirement for achieving common prosperity."

"This is my first time in western Guangdong, and I am very pleased to see the villagers living a solid life through the development of lychee and other characteristic planting industries." On the 11th, in Baiqiao Village, Genzi Town, Gaozhou City, Maoming, the general secretary said to the villagers.

The first two stops of the general secretary's inspection tour of Guangdong, Zhanjiang and Maoming, are located in western Guangdong. After visiting Guangdong in the first three times, he visited the Pearl River Delta, northern Guangdong and eastern Guangdong, and the general secretary came to western Guangdong this time, sending a strong signal to promote coordinated regional development and common prosperity.

In Zhanjiang, the general secretary specifically mentioned that "to promote Chinese-style modernization, we must take the issue of water resources into account." Optimizing the allocation of water resources is also an important means to promote the solution of the problem of unbalanced regional development.

After inspecting the lychee industry of the villagers in Maoming, the general secretary said, "To promote Chinese-style modernization, we must comprehensively promote rural revitalization and solve the problem of unbalanced development between urban and rural areas."

Both sentences point to coordinated regional development, which shows that he asked Guangdong to "make efforts to solve the problem of unbalanced regional development", focusing on the essential feature of "common prosperity of all the people", which is the essential feature of Chinese-style modernization.

From the perspective of the whole country, unbalanced regional development is also a problem to be gradually solved in the process of building a modern socialist country in an all-round way. As a major economic province, Guangdong's exploration in promoting the coordinated development of urban and rural areas will provide experience for the whole country.

"Chinese-style modernization is fundamentally different from Western modernization, and we cannot and cannot follow the path of Western modernization, such as polarization and plundering of other countries." The general secretary pointed out during the inspection.

This time in Guangdong, the general secretary also came to a foreign-funded enterprise, LG Display Guangzhou Manufacturing Base to investigate, and cordially communicated with researchers, entrepreneurs, employees and representatives of foreign-funded enterprises at the GAC Research Institute.

"China will accelerate the construction of a new development pattern and strengthen the construction of the business environment, and its market advantages will be more obvious", "China's reform and opening up policy will remain unchanged for a long time, and it will never close the door to opening up by itself", "All countries willing to cooperate with us for win-win results, we are willing to meet them halfway and promote the common prosperity and development of the world economy"...

The general secretary's research itinerary and important speech have made the relationship between Chinese-style modernization and the world clearer - with unswervingly deepening reform in an all-round way and expanding high-level opening up, Chinese-style modernization will create more new opportunities for the world.

To comprehensively promote the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese-style modernization, the blueprint has been drawn, and in the final analysis, it depends on practical work. The general secretary solemnly declared: "Chinese-style modernization is based on China's reality, conforms to China's national conditions, has goals, plans, and strategies, and we will advance step by step in a down-to-earth manner."
