During the National Two Sessions this year, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized when participating in the deliberation of the Jiangsu delegation that “developing new productive forces does not mean neglecting or abandoning traditional industries.”
He pointed out that it is necessary to "take scientific and technological innovation as the guide and coordinate the promotion of the upgrading of traditional industries, the growth of emerging industries, and the cultivation of future industries."
"Tradition" and "emerging" promote each other and are interdependent.
"Don't ignore, don't give up" conveys the general secretary's concern and emphasis on traditional industries.
"Coordinated promotion" points out the dialectical development idea of "maintaining" and "creating" between "traditional" and "emerging" industries.
my country's traditional industries often have profound historical accumulation and mature technology systems. They are mainly concentrated in the fields of light industry, textiles, machinery, food, etc., accounting for more than 80% of the manufacturing industry. They are closely related to people's lives and are of great significance to the national economy. .
However, in recent years, some places have labeled traditional industries and regarded them as "burden" and "cumbersome". When it comes to traditional industries, they believe that they should be eliminated.
As early as 2020, at the seventh meeting of the 19th Central Financial and Economic Committee, when talking about several major issues in the country’s medium- and long-term economic and social development strategies, General Secretary Xi Jinping warned from the perspective of development strategy: “It must be noted that the real economy is The foundation, various manufacturing industries cannot be lost. As a large country with a population of 1.4 billion, food and real industries must be based on itself. This must not be lost."
In May 2023, the first meeting of the 20th Central Financial and Economic Commission emphasized that we must persist in promoting the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries and cannot simply withdraw as "low-end industries".
At this year's National Two Sessions, the General Secretary once again emphasized that developing new productive forces does not mean neglecting or abandoning traditional industries.
The core of developing new productive forces is to promote industrial innovation through scientific and technological innovation.
Transformation and upgrading are the key for traditional industries to stimulate new productivity.
Taking the automobile industry as an example, in 2023, my country's automobile export volume will surpass Japan for the first time and become the first in the world. New energy vehicles have contributed important increments, setting a model for the integrated development of traditional industries and emerging industries to complement each other.
In a clothing company in Suzhou, in the past, staff had to go through multiple processes such as drawing, pattern making, and proofing to design a garment, which required the collaboration of more than a dozen departments.
Today, on the digital service platform, a 3D sample garment can be completed in less than half an hour. If modifications are needed, just click the mouse.
In a beverage factory in Foshan, on the fully automated production line, rows of beverages go through processes such as filling and disinfection, then enter packaging and palletizing, and are finally sold across the country.
The maximum production capacity of 8 digital and intelligent production lines can reach 2,000 cans/minute.
…………
Guided by technological innovation, through the installation of "digital engines" and increased technological transformation, traditional industries are glowing with new vitality.
The obvious difference from traditional industries is that emerging industries exist in the market for a short time, get rid of the traditional economic growth mode and productivity development path, have the characteristics of high technology, high efficiency and high quality, and represent the future development direction.
In recent years, a series of new achievements and applications have been unveiled from laboratories, research institutes, science cities, to manufacturing companies, industrial parks, and industrial parks.
With its relatively complete industrial system, huge market scale, massive application scenarios, abundant human resources and many other advantages, my country has achieved certain international competitiveness in the fields of rail trains, marine equipment, new energy vehicles, etc., and has strong competitiveness in 5G, big data, etc. , artificial intelligence, industrial Internet and other new technologies.
Looking at industrial development from the dialectical perspective of "keeping" and "creating", in the process of accelerating the construction of a modern industrial system and promoting high-quality development, the stable development of traditional industries provides a solid foundation and support for the rise of emerging industries. Development will also promote the optimization and upgrading of traditional industrial structures.
All in all, we must not only stick to our traditional industrial positions and continuously optimize and upgrade, but we must also have the courage to create emerging industries and make good use of new productive forces.
Only by grasping the dialectical relationship between "keeping" and "creating" and taking scientific and technological innovation as the guide can we promote high-quality development while keeping integrity and innovation and realize the grand blueprint of Chinese-style modernization.
