The Political Bureau of the Central Committee held its first collective study session in the new year, and "new quality productivity" became the key word.
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. This collective learning provided a comprehensive explanation and systematic deployment of the development of new productive forces, releasing an important signal for promoting high-quality development.
"New productivity" has become a high-frequency word in China's economy
Since last year, "new productivity" has become a high-frequency word in China's economy.
What is "new productivity"? Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee, explained when presiding over the study: In summary, new quality productivity is innovation that 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 is in line with the new development concept The quality of advanced productivity. "The characteristic is innovation, the key is high quality, and the essence is advanced productivity."
According to Li Jin, chief researcher of the China Enterprise Research Institute, this collective study provided a more detailed interpretation of the concept and essence of new productivity and is a theoretical program and action program. The main body responsible for the new quality productivity is the enterprise, and its content will be further clarified, which will provide the enterprise with ideological concepts and specific actions to follow.
Why emphasize the development of new productive forces? This is closely related to China's promotion of high-quality development.
At present, there are still a lot of constraints on high-quality development. "Difficulty in understanding and difficulty in practice are the two major problems that restrict high-quality development." Cai Zhibing, a professor at the Economics Teaching and Research Department of the Party School of the CPC Central Committee (National School of Administration), pointed out that the difficulty in understanding mainly refers to the difficulty in comprehensively grasping and accurately understanding high-quality development in various departments and localities. Difficulties in the connotation of development; difficulty in practice refers to the difficulty in various departments and localities quickly identifying the starting point for high-quality development in real economic work.
Cai Zhibing said that the proposal of new quality productivity pointed out the direction of high-quality development and provided support for all sectors of society to further clarify the connotation of high-quality development. On the other hand, it also directly defines the starting point of high-quality development, which can provide direct motivation for various departments and localities to promote high-quality development practices.
How to speed up the development of new productive forces?
This collective study not only deeply explained the connotation of new quality productivity, but also pointed out the direction on how to accelerate the development of new quality productivity.
First, be innovation-driven.
Scientific and technological innovation can give birth to new industries, new models, and new driving forces, and is a core element in developing new productive forces.
Ma Xiaohe, former vice president and researcher of the China Academy of Macroeconomics, believes that China has technological innovation conditions accumulated over many years, which provides rare favorable conditions for the development of new productive forces. However, it still needs to be noted that China’s original innovation capabilities are not strong enough and its human capital support is insufficient. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out breakthrough innovations around key core technologies in key areas, cultivate and develop new industrial clusters, and promote the formation of new productive forces.
Regarding the direction of future innovation, some key points of efforts were clarified through this collective learning. For example, we need to strengthen original and disruptive scientific and technological innovation and fight against key core technologies; apply scientific and technological innovation results to specific industries and industrial chains in a timely manner; accelerate the green transformation of development methods, accelerate green technological innovation and the promotion and application of advanced green technologies, etc.
Second, comprehensively deepen reforms.
To develop new productive forces, we must further comprehensively deepen reforms and form new production relations that are compatible with them. To allow all kinds of advanced and high-quality production factors to flow smoothly to the development of new productive forces, there are still blockages that need to be broken through.
Cai Zhibing analyzed that productivity and production relations influence each other and are inseparable. The development of new productive forces will inevitably require the formation of new production relations that are compatible with them. In accordance with the requirements for developing new productive forces, we must find institutional and institutional obstacles that restrict the development of new productive forces, comprehensively promote and deepen reforms, continuously optimize the economic system and scientific and technological system, and gradually establish and improve new production relations that are compatible with the requirements for developing new productive forces. Lay an institutional foundation for achieving high-quality development goals.
Third, pay attention to talent cultivation.
Smoothing the virtuous cycle of education, technology, and talents, and improving the working mechanism for talent cultivation, introduction, use, and reasonable flow were put on the agenda during this collective study. These include optimizing the subject settings and talent training models of colleges and universities in accordance with new trends in scientific and technological development, and cultivating urgently needed talents for the development of new productive forces and the promotion of high-quality development.
Ma Xiaohe believes that talents are the first resource for innovation and a key element in forming new productive forces. He suggested exploring diversified talent training models, creating a group of strategic talents, cultivating and introducing a group of leading talents, and focusing on cultivating a group of applied talents to serve the development of new-quality productivity. At the same time, we should implement systems and policies that are conducive to the growth of high-quality talents and create conditions in many aspects to attract scientific researchers to be willing to innovate, concentrate on innovation, and innovate boldly.
