China News Service, March 23 (Wei Chenxi, Chen Tianhao, Lin Zhuowei, Meng Xiangjun) Recently, China has proposed to develop new productive forces, which has attracted great attention from overseas media and international experts and scholars. In the eyes of foreign scholars, what is the concept of new productivity? How can new productive forces promote China’s economic development? What role does it play in improving China’s international competitiveness?
Focusing on related topics, China News Network conducted exclusive interviews with Jhala Nath Khanal, the former Prime Minister of Nepal and senior leader of the Communist Party of China, and Berthold Kuhn, a professor at the Freie Universität Berlin and senior economic adviser to the European Commission. ), Robert Kuhn, Chairman of the Kuhn Foundation in the United States, and Fabio Massimo Parenti, an expert at the Lorenzo Medici Institute of International Relations in Italy, provided interpretations.
Innovation in the field of science and technology
Khanal said that the introduction of the concept of new productivity reflects China's use of technological innovation to promote the development of productivity in all fields of society.
In his view, China's development in artificial intelligence technology and its breakthroughs in new energy technologies represented by lithium batteries and photovoltaic batteries are strong examples of this.
Kanal also said that the reason why China's economy is booming is that it integrates technological innovation and development into the process of socialist construction.
Kuhn believes that China needs to "continue to make disruptive breakthroughs in the field of science and technology." These technologies have promoted the development of emerging industries, promoted industrial transformation, and accelerated green transformation, all of which benefit from the support of intelligent information.
"In the field of science and technology, only by achieving disruptive innovation can we master the most advanced technology. For China, this is a brand new idea." Kuhn said.
Development concept innovation
Kang Baorui believes that the term new quality productivity is in line with China's new development concept and represents "innovative productivity with high technology, high efficiency, and high quality characteristics."
Kuhn said that new productivity is an advanced productivity that conforms to the new development concept and is a productivity that breaks away from the traditional growth path.
Kuhn pointed out that deepening reform is equally important to promoting the development of new productive forces, especially in modern scientific and technological management.
In addition, Kuhn also said that the private economy is also one of the key factors in developing new productive forces.
Kang Baorui also believes that private technology companies are "one of the most suitable choices" to promote the development of new productive forces. He said, "Building trust with international partners and lowering interest rates are very important to develop new productive forces."
Growth model update
Many experts are concerned that China's proposal to develop new productive forces may send a signal that the economic development model is changing.
Fabio believes that based on ideas and concepts such as new productivity, the Chinese government is studying and formulating a new economic development model.
"In fact, China has been actively transforming its traditional economic growth model." Fabio added that from renewable energy to quantum computers and industrial robots, China is vigorously developing strategic emerging industries and future industries, while focusing on transforming and upgrading traditional industry.
Kuhn pointed out that China is paying more and more attention to the high-quality economic development model.
Kuhn pointed out that it is expected that next year, the added value of China's strategic emerging industries will account for 17% of the gross domestic product (GDP), which will be a "very remarkable increase."
In his view, the improvement of this new quality of productivity heralds China's economic transformation and upgrading, with new kinetic energy replacing old kinetic energy, thereby ensuring sustainable economic development.
"China pursues high-quality development, rather than just focusing on growth rate." Kanal said that China's economic development is quite stable. He expects China to deliver outstanding results and continue to make significant contributions to promoting world economic development. .
“China has always been in the process of continuous innovation,” Fabio concluded. Since the 1980s, with the acceleration of innovation, China has been taking various measures to innovate its economic growth model. He also said, "China's economic and social development will be even better, and we are feeling unprecedented vitality." (End)
