Policy Brief丨Zhang Yunfei: New quality productivity itself is green productivity

Summary

When presiding over the 11th collective study of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that the development of new quality productivity should be accelerated, and new quality productivity itself is green productivity. The new quality productive forces embody the scientific connotation of innovation, coordination, green, sharing and openness from five aspects: development momentum, development mechanism, development conditions, distribution of development results, and development environment. The development of new quality productive forces is an inevitable choice and requirement for implementing and implementing the "new productive forces theory", achieving high-quality development, and meeting the needs of the people for a better life. In order to ensure that green investment should vigorously develop green finance, on the one hand, it is necessary to adhere to the party's leadership over green finance, on the other hand, it is necessary to promote the deep integration of digital technology and green finance, and play its supporting role in the development of new quality productivity.

First, the scientific connotation of the new quality of productivity

General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that the new quality of productivity is the quality of advanced productivity that plays a leading role in innovation, gets rid of 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. The new quality productive forces have realized the effective unity of the speed, quality, and efficiency of the development of the productive forces, and are based on the achievements of the new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation with green, intelligent, and ubiquitous trends and characteristics. Combined with the new development concept, we can grasp the connotation of the new quality productivity from the following five aspects.

First, in terms of development momentum, the new quality of productivity is the productivity that adheres to innovation and development. At present, scientific and technological innovation has become the primary driving force to promote the development of productive forces, and knowledge innovation has become a significant symbol of new quality productivity, and new quality productivity is innovation-driven productivity.

Second, in terms of the development mechanism, the new quality of productive forces is the productive forces that adhere to coordinated development. The new quality of productive forces is the productive forces that seek coordinated development, and we are committed to promoting the coordinated development of urban and rural areas and regions through the coordinated development of productive forces.

Third, in terms of development conditions, the new quality productivity is the productivity that adheres to green development. The new quality productivity has the characteristics and advantages of low resource consumption and low pollution emissions, and is committed to building a resource-saving society and an environment-friendly society, a modernization of harmonious coexistence between man and nature, and an ecological civilization.

Fourth, in terms of the distribution of development results, the new quality of productivity is the productivity that adheres to shared development. On the premise of eliminating exploitation and absolute poverty, the new quality of productive forces should adhere to the goal of achieving shared development, and insist that all the people share the fruits of the country's reform and development in all aspects.

Fifth, in terms of the development environment, the new quality of productive forces is the productive forces that adhere to open development. In accordance with the concept of a community with a shared future for mankind, the development of new quality productive forces should shift from conforming to globalization to leading globalization and promoting the healthy and green development of globalization.

Second, the significance of developing new quality productive forces

(1) The development of new quality productive forces is an inevitable choice for implementing and implementing the "new theory of productive forces."

The development of productive forces is a development under the guidance of a certain theory of productive forces. While devoting itself to the liberation and development of China's productive forces, the Communist Party of China attaches great importance to the application and development of the Marxist theory of productive forces. From "primary productive forces" to "advanced productive forces" and then to "new qualitative productive forces" is a process of innovation and development of the Marxist theory of productive forces. The development of new quality productive forces is an important theoretical innovation achievement proposed by Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era. General Secretary Xi Jinping profoundly expounded a series of major issues such as the great significance of the development of new quality productivity to achieve high-quality development, the driving force of scientific and technological innovation for the development of new quality productivity, the transformation path of new quality productivity into modern advanced industrial forms, the strategic position and significance of green productivity in the development of new quality productivity, and the formation of a new type of production relationship compatible with new quality productivity.

(2) The development of new quality productivity is an inevitable requirement for achieving high-quality development

The development of new quality productive forces is an inevitable choice for realizing Chinese-style modernization. If China wants to ensure that the second centenary goal is achieved as scheduled, it must achieve leapfrog development. In order to achieve the unity of quality, speed and efficiency of high-quality development, high-quality development must be built on the basis of new quality productivity. Only by vigorously developing new quality productive forces and adhering to green development can we achieve the unity of high-quality development and high-level protection. Only by vigorously developing new quality productive forces and adhering to safe development can we achieve the unity of high-quality development and high-level security.

(3) The development of new quality productive forces is an inevitable choice to meet the needs of the people for a better life

In the new era, on the basis of continuing to promote the development of productive forces, China should focus on solving the problem of unbalanced and inadequate development of productive forces, so as to better meet the growing needs of the people in the economic, political, cultural, social, and ecological fields. Therefore, we must vigorously improve the quality, speed and efficiency of development, and we must achieve high-quality development. Only by vigorously developing new quality productive forces can we achieve high-quality development, better meet the needs of the people for a better life, promote all-round human development, and achieve all-round social progress.

Third, the green nature of new quality productivity

(1) New quality productivity is green productivity

Traditional productive forces have the characteristics and limitations of high consumption of resources and energy, high pollution of the ecological environment, etc., and have destructive power, which is essentially "black productivity". The new quality productivity is essentially green productivity, and it is a sustainable productivity that can unify the ecological and ecological productivity of productivity. Maintaining the harmonious coexistence of man and nature, that is, maintaining the green background, is the basic condition for the normal progress of productivity. On the basis of the sustainable development of general productivity, the new quality productivity has effectively achieved sustainable development. Through the ecological reshaping of productivity factors, the new quality productivity applies the green, intelligent and ubiquitous technological revolutionary breakthroughs to the innovative allocation of productivity factors, thus becoming green productivity. From the perspective of scientific and technological power, green productivity has shifted from factor input to scientific and technological input, which is a productivity driven by green technology. From the perspective of the object of labor, green productivity is the productivity of sustainable resources such as information. From the perspective of labor materials, green productivity is the productivity with digital intelligence as the main tool. From the perspective of the main body of labor, green productivity is the productivity of a new generation of workers armed with the concept of scientific ecological civilization, and the productivity of workers with all-round development. On the basis of green technology, the ecological reshaping of the factors of productivity has greatly improved the sustainable development level of productivity, and can effectively realize the unity of ecological, economic and social benefits.

(2) The relationship between new quality productivity and technological revolutionary breakthroughs, innovative allocation of production factors, and deep industrial transformation

The new quality productivity is born by the revolutionary breakthrough of technology, the innovative allocation of production factors, and the deep transformation and upgrading of the industry, and its formation is a system composed of a series of links such as technological innovation, labor innovation, and industrial innovation.

Revolutionary breakthroughs in technology are the driving force for the formation of new quality productive forces. Green, intelligent and ubiquitous have become the significant signs and achievements of a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation. In the face of global ecological and environmental problems, with the development of a series of disciplines such as ecological science and environmental science, green technology has become a frontier achievement in technological development, which can organically unify the transformation of nature and the protection of nature, and put forward the requirements of greening or ecology to the development of the whole society. With the development of digital technology, artificial intelligence and network technology, the whole society is developing towards informatization, intelligence and networking, and there is a scientific and technological foundation for the formation of new quality productive forces. Scientific and technological innovation is the core element in the development of new quality productive forces.

The innovative allocation of production factors is the key link in the formation of new quality productivity. Productivity is a system composed of three parts: the object of labor, the means of labor, and the subject of labor. In terms of labor objects, the new quality productivity takes renewable resources such as information as an important labor object, which can effectively save material resources and reduce environmental pollution. In terms of labor materials, the new quality productivity uses intelligent hardware and other automation tools as labor materials, realizes the organic combination of man, machine and network, expands people's brain power, and can effectively improve the ecological, economic and social benefits of the development of productivity. In terms of the main body of labor, the new quality productivity pays more attention to the strength of human capital and the all-round development of workers.

The deep transformation and upgrading of the industry is the material carrier for the formation of new quality productivity. The new quality of productivity is embodied in the modern industrial system. Technological innovation and factor reshaping will inevitably drive the industry and its structure to develop in a green, intelligent and ubiquitous direction. Therefore, it is necessary to take new industrialization as the starting point, to realize the coordinated development of new industrialization, urbanization, informatization, agricultural modernization and greening, to unify information industrialization and industrial informatization, to unify ecological industrialization and industrial ecology, to promote the deep integration of traditional industries and modern industries, to promote the deep integration of digital economy, ecological economy and real economy, and to achieve deep industrial transformation and upgrading.

(3) Give full play to the supporting role of green finance in the development of new quality productivity

Traditional productive forces focus on industries with high resource consumption and high environmental pollution, which has the characteristics and limitations of "black investment". New quality productivity has the characteristics and advantages of "green investment". To realize the transformation from "black investment" to "green investment", the healthy and sustainable development of green finance is urgently needed.

The first is to strengthen the investment in natural resources and natural assets, consolidate the country's natural capital strength, and provide a sustainable natural material foundation for the development of new quality productivity. The second is to strengthen investment in ecological and environmental infrastructure and other public infrastructure construction, so as to promote green employment and consolidate the achievements of ecological poverty alleviation, and provide a sustainable social and economic foundation for the development of new quality productivity. The third is to strengthen investment in green technology to provide sustainable scientific and technological impetus for the development of new quality productivity. Fourth, we should strengthen investment in green industries, cultivate new growth poles, and provide a sustainable industrial foundation for the development of new quality productivity.

Green finance is an important policy tool to ensure green investment, and efforts should be made to create a new business model of "finance + industry + ecology", and on the basis of enhancing the strength of national natural capital, the development of green finance provides financial policy support and support for new quality productivity.

To develop green finance, on the one hand, we must adhere to and strengthen the party's leadership over green finance. When leveraging social capital, especially foreign capital, to participate in the development of green finance, it is necessary to strengthen the supervision of green finance, improve the national policy system for the development of green finance, strengthen information disclosure, prevent financial speculation and financial risks, and ensure the country's financial security and people's property security. On the other hand, it is necessary to promote the deep integration of digital technology and green finance. Specifically, it is necessary to improve green financial products such as green credit, green bonds, and green stock indexes, actively and steadily promote innovation in climate investment and financing, and continue to steadily strengthen green investment. While expanding the scale and benefits of green credit and green bonds, we should also make good use of the ruler function, investment function and derivative product target function of the green index to guide green investment.
