Only one week after the conclusion of the two sessions, on March 18, General Secretary Xi Jinping came to Hunan to inspect schools, enterprises and farmland, investigate the facts, talk about development, and grasp the implementation, which is of great and far-reaching significance.
(1) In key years, we will solidly promote the implementation of the goals and tasks of the 14th Five-Year Plan
This year marks the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and it is also a crucial year for achieving the goals and tasks of the 14th Five-Year Plan. The 14th Five-Year Plan, which runs from 2021 to 2025, has entered a critical period in the second half of its journey.
The two sessions of the National People's Congress that have just been convened have clearly defined the expected goals and important tasks for this year's economic and social development, and strengthened our confidence and strength to move forward firmly.
At the two sessions, the general secretary stressed that "if you see it, you should do it quickly." The task is clear, and the key lies in implementation.
At this time, the general secretary went to the local area to inspect and guide in order to promote the implementation of relevant work.
In September 2020, on the eve of the Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping went to Hunan for investigation and research, and presided over a symposium of grassroots representatives to listen to the opinions and suggestions of grassroots cadres and representatives on the preparation of the "14th Five-Year Plan".
At that time, the general secretary gave Hunan the mission of "striving to build an important national advanced manufacturing industry, scientific and technological innovation with core competitiveness, and a highland for reform and opening up in inland areas".
As an important province in the central part of the mainland, Hunan's natural connection with the Yangtze River geographically and its geographical advantages of connecting the east to the west and connecting the south to the north determine that it has obvious advantages and space in promoting the rise of the central region, the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt and the promotion of high-quality development.
This time, at the key node and important year of the "14th Five-Year Plan", the general secretary went to Hunan for investigation and research, which is of great significance for guiding Hunan and all parts of the country to "answer the major question of what kind of development to achieve and how to achieve development".
(2) Accelerate the development of new productive forces in accordance with local conditions
How to develop new quality productive forces according to local conditions, General Secretary Xi Jinping's trip to Hunan has released a clear signal.
Smooth the virtuous circle of education, science and technology, and talents——
On the first day of the inspection, the general secretary successively came to Hunan First Normal University (Chengnan College Campus) and BASF Shanshan Battery Materials Co., Ltd.
One school and one enterprise, involving education, science and technology, and talents, are closely related to the development of new quality productivity.
In February, at the 11th collective study session of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, the general secretary stressed that "it is necessary to unblock the virtuous circle of education, science and technology, and qualified personnel in accordance with the requirements for the development of new productive forces."
As the basic and strategic support for building a modern socialist country in an all-round way, education, science and technology, and talent interact with each other and promote each other, and the organic combination of the three aspects of work and the overall promotion of the three aspects will have a multiplier effect on the formation and development of new quality productive forces.
Promote industrial innovation with scientific and technological innovation——
In Changsha, the general secretary inspected BASF Shanshan Battery Materials Co., Ltd. The company focuses on independent research and development, promotes the mass production and commercialization of advanced technological achievements, and its products are used in electric vehicles, 3C electronic products and other fields.
When participating in the deliberations of the Jiangsu delegation at the National People's Congress and the National People's Congress this year, the general secretary had in-depth exchanges with representatives from the photovoltaic industry. After the two sessions, he inspected battery companies, which fully reflected the importance of the general secretary to this field.
Scientific and technological innovation is the core element in the development of new quality productive forces. At the two sessions of the National People's Congress and the National People's Congress, the general secretary emphasized that "we should do a good job in tackling key core technologies, cultivate new kinetic energy for the development of new quality productivity", "coordinate the promotion of scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation, and strengthen the transformation and application of scientific and technological achievements". After the two sessions, the general secretary went deep into the enterprises that are active in scientific and technological innovation, and conveyed the practical requirements of promoting industrial innovation with scientific and technological innovation and accelerating the cultivation and development of new quality productive forces with a field investigation.
Expanding high-level opening-up
BASF Shanshan Battery Materials Co., Ltd. is a joint venture, and the general secretary visited here, declaring that the meaning of expanding high-level opening up to the outside world is very clear.
From "to develop the new quality of productive forces, it is necessary to further deepen the reform in an all-round way and form a new type of production relations that are compatible with them" to "it is necessary to expand the high-level opening up to the outside world and create a good international environment for the development of the new quality of the productive forces"...... The important requirement of the general secretary pointed out that the new quality of productive forces is not only a proposition for development, but also a proposition for reform.
Only by seeking impetus from reform and vitality from opening up can the prospects for developing new productive forces become broader and broader.
(3) Two "must be guaranteed", based on oneself and keep the bottom line
Hunan is a major agricultural province and one of the 13 major grain-producing areas in the country. Hunan is also a major manufacturing province and plays an important role in the field of construction machinery.
In September 2020, when the general secretary inspected Hunan, he went to Chenzhou to look at agriculture and Changsha to inspect the equipment manufacturing industry.
Food security is the "great thing of the country". Manufacturing is the lifeblood of the country's economy.
"I often say that there are two must be guaranteed, one is that China must secure the grain and rice bowl, and the other must build a solid manufacturing industry. On March 5, 2023, at the deliberation site of the Jiangsu delegation to the National People's Congress and the National People's Congress, the general secretary profoundly pointed out that a large country with a population of more than 1.4 billion must solve these two problems on its own.
The two must be guaranteed are the two bottom lines of safety, which are related to the overall development situation.
It's spring planting season. On the 19th, the general secretary came to Changde, Hunan, walked into 10,000 acres of farmland to learn about the spring plowing preparations. Successfully fighting the first battle of grain production throughout the year is of great significance to seizing the summer grain and even the annual grain harvest.
"It is necessary to firmly grasp the initiative in food security, and grain production must be stepped up every year. "The general secretary clearly understands that only when a country is based on basic self-sufficiency in food can it truly seize the initiative in food security, and then have the confidence to deal with risks and have the ability to ensure national security, social stability and people's happiness.
BASF Shanshan Battery Materials Co., Ltd., which was inspected by the General Secretary, is committed to building a robust and sustainable battery supply chain by strengthening manufacturing R&D innovation and green transformation and development.
Promoting the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries and promoting high-end, intelligent and green industries is the proper meaning of the development of new quality productivity. In the process of China's high-quality development, promoting the high-quality development of the manufacturing industry is the top priority. In the face of the obvious increase in instability and uncertainty in the world today, the mainland's manufacturing industry has accelerated to the middle and high end of the value chain, which will shape new momentum and new advantages for development and stabilize the "ballast stone" of the economy of a large country.
