On the afternoon of January 31, the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee held its 11th collective study session on solidly promoting high-quality development. When presiding over the study, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that "it is necessary to keep in mind that high-quality development is the absolute principle of the new era" and pointed out that "the development of new productive forces is the inherent requirement and important focus of promoting high-quality development."

　　At the beginning of the new year, the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee focused on the development of new productive forces for the first time, sending an important signal to unswervingly promote high-quality development.

　　In fact, since General Secretary Xi Jinping first proposed it during his inspection and research in Heilongjiang in September 2023, "new quality productivity" has become a hot word of social concern.

　　The Central Economic Work Conference held in December 2023 proposed that technological innovation should be used to promote industrial innovation, especially disruptive and cutting-edge technologies to spawn new industries, new models, and new drivers, and develop new quality productivity.

　　During this collective study, the Party Central Committee further provided a comprehensive explanation and systematic deployment of the development of new productive forces.

　　So, why should we emphasize new productivity?

　　At present, high-quality development has become the main theme of economic and social development, but there are still a lot of constraints.

　　High-quality development requires new productivity theory to guide, and new productivity has been formed in practice and has demonstrated strong driving force and support for high-quality development. It needs to be summarized and summarized theoretically to guide new development. practice.

　　What is new productivity? This collective study further explains.

　　Overall definition: In summary, new quality productivity is an advanced productivity state in which innovation plays a leading role, breaks away from the traditional economic growth mode and productivity development path, has the characteristics of high technology, high efficiency and high quality, and conforms to the new development concept;

　　Source of power: generated by revolutionary technological breakthroughs, innovative allocation of production factors, and in-depth industrial transformation and upgrading;

　　Basic connotation: the rise of workers, labor materials, labor objects and their optimized combination;

　　Core sign: Total factor productivity has increased significantly.

　　“The characteristic is innovation, the key is high quality, and the essence is advanced productivity.” the general secretary emphasized.

　　How to speed up the development of new productive forces?

　　——First of all, we must continue to do a good job in the big article of innovation and cultivate new driving forces for the development of new quality productivity.

　　General Secretary Xi Jinping clearly pointed out that scientific and technological innovation can give birth to new industries, new models, and new driving forces, and is the core element of developing new productive forces.

　　This collective study made a series of deployments, including strengthening scientific and technological innovation, especially original and disruptive scientific and technological innovation; promptly applying scientific and technological innovation results to specific industries and industrial chains; accelerating the green transformation of development methods to help carbon peak and carbon neutrality, etc. .

　　——Secondly, we must further comprehensively deepen reforms and form new production relations that are compatible with them.

　　Accelerating the formation of new productive forces is both a development proposition and a reform proposition.

　　It is necessary to deepen the reform of the economic system, science and technology system, etc., and strive to open up the blockages that restrict the development of new productive forces; it is necessary to expand high-level opening up to the outside world, and create a good international environment for the development of new productive forces...

　　Through comprehensively deepening reform, we will promote production relations to adapt to the requirements of productivity development, so as to accelerate the cultivation and vitality of new productive forces.

　　——Thirdly, it is necessary to smoothen the virtuous cycle of education, science and technology, and talents, and improve the working mechanism for talent training, introduction, use, and reasonable flow.

　　It can be said that this collective study has further explained and deployed the Party Central Committee around the theory and practice, connotation and extension, methods and paths of accelerating the development of new productive forces and solidly promoting high-quality development.

　　In the past January, "new" ideas emerged frequently in the local two sessions, and various localities drew up a "road map" to accelerate the cultivation of new productive forces.

　　Anhui is accelerating the construction of three scientific and technological innovation hubs of quantum information, fusion energy, and deep space exploration; Changsha is making every effort to build a global R&D center city; Beijing is focusing on building an international science and technology innovation center; Heilongjiang is implementing digital transformation of manufacturing, digital empowerment of small and medium-sized enterprises, and intelligent manufacturing. Pilot demonstration actions...

　　This year marks the 75th anniversary of the founding of New China and is a critical year for achieving the goals and tasks of the 14th Five-Year Plan. Facing an increasingly complex and severe domestic and international environment, a consensus has become clearer: promoting high-quality development is the fundamental way to break through and move forward.
