Take reform and innovation as the fundamental driving force
——High-quality development from the perspective of new energy vehicles
Ren Ping
High-quality development is the "primary task" and has become the main theme of economic and social development.
As the culmination of modern industrial technology, automobile is an important pillar industry of the national economy, which is the moving movement in this main theme.
In his 2024 New Year's message, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "New energy vehicles, lithium batteries, and photovoltaic products have added new colors to Made in China. ”
In 2023, China's automobile production and sales will reach 30 million units for the first time, making it the world's largest automobile exporter. Among them, the production and sales of new energy vehicles accounted for more than 60% of the world, ranking first in the world for nine consecutive years. In the first quarter of this year, China's automobile sales increased by 10.6% year-on-year, domestic sales of new energy vehicles increased by 33.3% year-on-year, and exports increased by 23.8% year-on-year, ushering in a good start.
Back in April 1983, the first joint venture car Santana rolled off the assembly line in Shanghai, and China began a new journey into an automobile country with the pace of reform and opening up.
From "not a single car can be built" when New China was founded to the first Jiefang brand truck rolled off the assembly line in July 1956; automobile production and sales exceeded the 10 million mark for the first time in 2009 to remain the world's first for 15 consecutive years in 2023, what kind of code is behind "Chinese people will definitely be able to, China will definitely do"?
"Now if China wants to develop towards a higher goal of becoming a manufacturing power and an industrial power, it is necessary to seize opportunities and overtake in the development of strategic emerging industries";
"If we want to become a manufacturing power, we must be an automobile power";
"The development of new energy vehicles is the only way for the mainland to move from a large automobile country to an automobile power";
…………
Following the development trajectory of China's automobiles in the new era, especially new energy vehicles, and in-depth study and comprehension of a series of important assertions of General Secretary Xi Jinping, we have more truly realized that "high-quality development is the last word in the new era", and more deeply realized that "promoting Chinese-style modernization is an exploratory cause, and there are still many unknown areas, which require us to boldly explore in practice and promote career development through reform and innovation".
BYD's fully intelligent production line.
(a)
Manufacturing is the foundation of the country and the foundation of a strong country. The automobile industry is an important symbol of the country's manufacturing strength.
In 2012, the sales volume of new energy vehicles in mainland China was 12,800 units, and in 2023, the annual production and sales volume will exceed 9 million units. China's new energy vehicle products are blooming, and the scale of production and sales has grown by leaps and bounds.
From 2012 to 2023, the mainland's retail sales of automobiles will increase from about 2.4 trillion yuan to 4.86 trillion yuan, accounting for about 10% of the total retail sales of consumer goods, and its contribution to economic growth has increased significantly.
From a little-known to a global leader, the rapid rise of China's automobiles, especially new energy vehicles, in the new era is important to not only transform and upgrade traditional industries, actively promote high-end, intelligent and green industries, but also cultivate and expand emerging industries, and achieve overtaking in new fields and new tracks.
Things are not difficult to do, but easy but hard. There is no advantage at all, and there are all kinds of singing and questioning, for new energy vehicles, the problem of lane change and overtaking is beyond imagination.
Keeping in mind General Secretary Xi Jinping's important assertion that "the only way to become a strong automobile country" and the ambition of "bringing up the national automobile brand", whether state-owned enterprises, private enterprises, or government departments, scientific research institutions, and investment institutions, are anchored in the strategic direction to move forward, just as an industry insider sighed "I didn't want to retreat".
On March 25, 2024, BYD's 7 million new energy vehicles rolled off the assembly line, becoming the first car brand in the world to reach this sales milestone. In 2023, there are 16 Chinese brands in the top 20 sales of new energy models in the world.
The brand is good and the industry is new, and behind it is the increasingly mature industrial chain system.
In Hefei, Anhui Province, there are layouts in the fields of "three electrics" (battery, electric drive, and electronic control) and "three intelligences" (intelligent driving, intelligent cockpit, and intelligent networking), and the whole industry chain of new energy vehicles has been formed, and the industrial cluster will achieve a revenue of nearly 300 billion yuan in 2023.
In the Yangtze River Delta "car-making map", there is a more efficient and collaborative "4-hour industrial circle" - Shanghai provides chips and software, Jiangsu provides power batteries, and Zhejiang provides body integrated die-casting machines...... The supporting parts required for a car can be solved within 4 hours by car.
As a representative industry of the manufacturing industry, the leapfrog development of the automobile industry has made significant contributions to driving related industries and stimulating employment.
The modern industrial system is the material and technological foundation of a modern country and an important carrier for the development of new quality productive forces. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that "accelerate the construction of a modern industrial system supported by advanced manufacturing" and "lay out the industrial chain around the development of new quality productivity, and improve the resilience and safety of the industrial chain and supply chain".
Port of Frehamnen, Stockholm, Sweden. It is home to NIO's sixth battery swap station in Sweden, and a charging network connecting the three major cities of Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmö has been formed.
SAIC Motor has four vehicle manufacturing bases in Thailand, Indonesia, India, and Pakistan, and BYD's Uzbekistan plant will officially start production in January 2024...... Chinese automobiles are writing the "story of globalization" in "going global".
Promoting green and low-carbon development is the international trend and the trend of the times. China has built the world's largest clean energy system, and China's green production capacity is helping developing countries achieve carbon reduction goals, accelerate green transformation, and contribute to the implementation of the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the construction of a clean and beautiful world.
In 2023, the continent exported 1.203 million new energy vehicles, up 77.6% y/y. In June 2023, the international standard "Road Vehicles - Functional Safety - Application of Rechargeable Energy Storage System for New Energy Vehicles" led by Continental was officially released in the form of a technical report......
Reminiscing about the past makes people feel sorry for the present and the night.
From "electrification" to "intelligence", the development of new energy vehicles has entered the second half.
Hebei, Xiong'an New Area. We will continue to build a low-carbon intelligent transportation network, and strive to build the country's first large-scale regional-level digital road, which has completed 153 kilometers, and the safe (test) operation mileage of intelligent networked buses is currently close to 200,000 kilometers.
Beijing, Yizhuang, high-level autonomous driving demonstration area. Breakthroughs have been made in the construction of the five major systems of "smart cars, smart roads, real-time clouds, reliable networks, and accurate maps", and we are committed to helping the development of the automobile industry and the construction of smart cities with the iterative upgrading of autonomous driving technology.
General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: "The international automobile manufacturing industry is very competitive, and the continuous development of informatization, intelligence, and sharing is dangerous for us. "In the development of global market competition, China's new energy vehicles have formed innovative advantages and excellent quality, and have the confidence and confidence to deal with challenges.
Since the new era, the rapid development of the mainland's new energy vehicle industry has not only vividly confirmed that "new quality productivity has been formed in practice and demonstrated a strong driving force and support for high-quality development", but also made us more determined to "focus on the real economy for economic development, promote new industrialization, and accelerate the construction of a manufacturing power".
On April 1, in the assembly workshop of an automobile intelligent factory in Jinhua New Energy Automobile Town, the intelligent production line was running efficiently, the skilled workers were busy in their respective positions, and the new energy vehicles completed the assembly and testing and drove off the production line.

New quality productivity is gaining momentum, and high-quality development is full of momentum. Innovation is the primary driving force for development, and it is at the core of the mainland's modernization drive.
The reason why the new energy vehicles in mainland China have achieved lane change and overtaking is that they have realized power transformation and kinetic energy conversion with scientific and technological innovation, opened up new fields and new tracks for development, and shaped new development momentum and new advantages.
Batteries are a key component of new energy vehicles. Ultra-fast charging, long battery life, and high safety are the key demands of users, which are the technical problems that must be solved by scientific and technological innovation. Among the prior technologies, lithium batteries have the best comprehensive performance.
The battery volume utilization rate is 83.7%, ranking first in the world, and the range is increased by more than 500 kilometers after 15 minutes of charging...... The ZEEKR 007 pure electric coupe, which will be launched at the end of 2023, is equipped with a self-developed lithium iron phosphate battery, truly realizing "charging for thousands of miles in one moment".
"A few more big projects, a few more 'golden dolls', and accelerate leapfrog development. "In 2010, Comrade Xi Jinping visited Ningde and gave him earnest entrustment.
In 2022, it will be ranked among the top 100 cities in China, and in 2023, it will achieve the highest economic growth rate in Fujian Province for five consecutive years. The secret of Ningde's change is in the "Golden Doll"——
Since 2011, the implementation of strategic emerging industries represented by CATL has accelerated. Driven by industrial transformation and technological development, CATL has made efforts to develop lithium batteries, seize the commanding heights of the supply chain, and become a major industrial "chain master" in the new energy industry, especially in the battery field.
General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed that "we must master the key core technologies in our own hands". From following to leading, from liquid lithium-ion batteries to semi-solid-state lithium batteries, from blade batteries, Kirin batteries to 800-volt high-voltage silicon carbide platforms...... From academia to the industry, keep in mind General Secretary Xi Jinping's entrustment, and promote the continuous breakthrough of the core battery technology of new energy vehicles in the mainland. In 2023, among the top 10 power battery companies in the world in terms of vehicle loading, Chinese companies will occupy 6 seats.
Seek deeply, think far, and become the cause. When lithium batteries become one of the "new three" in foreign trade, we must look farther.
70% of lithium resources are imported, and it is difficult to meet the large-scale energy storage needs of transportation, smart grids and renewable energy at the same time...... Open up a new track and develop a battery system that is not limited by resources——
In 2023, CATL's first-generation sodium-ion battery cells will be launched for the first time, and in 2024, the country's first large-capacity sodium-ion battery energy storage system will be successfully developed......
The continuous breakthrough of battery technology profoundly shows that "whoever holds the bull's nose of scientific and technological innovation, and who takes the first step of scientific and technological innovation, will be able to take the lead and win the advantage".
Mastering a large number of key core technologies, the development of new energy vehicles in mainland China confirms from one side: scientific and technological innovation is the core element of the development of new quality productivity, is the source of power for high-quality development, and we are fully confident, advantageous and capable to win the battle of key core technologies.
The industrial transformation driven by scientific and technological innovation not only has a jump in "wisdom", "green content" and "gold content", but also a reshaping of production methods.
In December 2023, GAC Aion Smart Ecological Factory was selected into the "Global Lighthouse Network", becoming the only new energy vehicle "lighthouse factory" in the world. Here, customized production lights up the manufacturing beacon, and a more "smart" production line can achieve 100,400 configuration combinations, and a new energy vehicle rolls off the assembly line every 53 seconds.
The "Lighthouse Factory" represents the highest level of intelligent manufacturing and digitalization in the global manufacturing industry today, and 12 of the 21 new "Lighthouse Factories" are in China.
Leading industrial innovation with scientific and technological innovation, on the new track of high-end, intelligent and green development of China's manufacturing industry, the new energy vehicle industry has accelerated, not only widely applying emerging technologies such as intelligent manufacturing, industrial Internet, 5G, artificial intelligence, and big data, but also leading the transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry.
"With disruptive technology and cutting-edge technology to give birth to new industries, new models, new kinetic energy, and develop new quality productivity", General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out, "It is necessary to apply scientific and technological innovation achievements to specific industries and industrial chains in a timely manner, transform and upgrade traditional industries, cultivate and expand emerging industries, lay out and build future industries, and improve the modern industrial system." ”
Focusing on the key core technologies and "stuck neck" problems in all walks of life, and doing a good job in innovation will surely provide scientific and technological support for promoting Chinese-style modernization.

Develop the topic and reform it. Scientific and technological innovation is the new engine, and reform and opening up is the ignition system.
The technology is immature, the production cost is high, the industrial chain has not been formed, and the market has yet to be cultivated...... In the face of a series of difficulties at the beginning of the new energy vehicle industry, we used reform methods to break all kinds of blockages.
The supply-side reform has been drastic, allowing enterprises to "move".
Boao Forum for Asia, 2018. General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed that "it is necessary to relax the restrictions on foreign ownership as soon as possible, especially in the automotive industry".
After a week, the "timetable" for the cancellation of foreign ownership restrictions in the automobile industry has been released - special vehicles and new energy vehicles in 2018, commercial vehicles in 2020, and passenger cars in 2022.
Three months later, Tesla announced the construction of a factory in Shanghai, with a total investment of 50 billion yuan and a planned annual production capacity of 500,000 vehicles. As the first wholly foreign-owned new energy vehicle project, it not only brings the "catfish effect" and forces Chinese car companies to innovate and change, but also provides Tesla with a broad development space to achieve a win-win situation for all parties.
Since the beginning of the new era, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and other departments have successively introduced more than 70 supporting policies and measures to provide "good prescriptions" and "navigation" for industrial development...... A series of reform measures have activated the "pool of spring water" of the new energy vehicle industry, promoted the whole industry chain to accelerate the breakthrough of core technology stuck points, and continuously created the world's leading competitiveness.
Demand-side reform continues to make the market "hot".
Charging at 11 o'clock every night is scheduled, and the cost of electricity per kilometer is less than 1 dime, which is much cheaper than the 8 dimes of a fuel vehicle.
Supporting the "cost performance" is the county's "one network and one circle" - the network is the "one network" of charging and swapping facilities with ports in the county, stations in the town, and piles in the village, and the circle is the "5-minute charging circle" in the county. At present, the mainland has built the world's largest number of vehicle charging infrastructure systems, the largest radiation area, and the most complete service vehicles.
Implement the "green card" policy, so that car buyers can easily obtain license plate qualifications and avoid driving restrictions, promote new energy vehicles to the countryside, carry out car trade-in, support charging piles, charging stations and other infrastructure construction, and implement the peak and valley electricity price policy...... A series of policy measures have been introduced, which have effectively alleviated consumers' "price anxiety", "range anxiety" and "charging anxiety".
改革一子落，发展满盘活。
At the same time, we should pay attention to the supply-side structural reform, break through the blockages, make up for the shortcomings, and connect the links of production, distribution, circulation and consumption, forming a higher level of dynamic balance in which demand drives supply and supply creates demand.
The "good wind with strength" of new energy vehicles also comes from the general environment created by comprehensively deepening reform and opening up.
The reform ......of "delegating power, delegating power, delegating power, delegating power Comprehensively deepen reform, brave the wind and waves, overcome difficulties, and continue to add impetus and vitality to economic and social development. The "reform story" of the automobile industry is a vivid epitome and a powerful witness.
This year is another important year for comprehensively deepening reform, and the main task is to plan to further deepen reform in an all-round way, which is not only a continuation of the practice of comprehensively deepening reform since the Third Plenary Session of the 18th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, but also a new chapter of the era of promoting Chinese-style modernization in the new journey.
"It is necessary to plan major measures to further deepen reform in an all-round way, and continue to inject strong impetus into promoting high-quality development and promoting Chinese-style modernization. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that "accelerate the improvement of property rights protection, market access, fair competition, social credit and other basic systems of the market economy", "stimulate the endogenous power and innovation vitality of various business entities", and "break through the blockages that restrict the development of new quality productive forces".
Persist in using reform and opening up as a key measure to solve problems in development and cope with risks and challenges on the way forward. On the new journey, we will create more miracles of lane change and overtaking and write more new chapters of reform and self-improvement with the strategy of seeking development through reform, promoting the trend of opening up, and stimulating innovation.
In 1995, the first electric car in mainland China was born, named "Yuanwang", which not only implies the heroism of Wangyuan, but also contains the ambition of arrival.
Today, China's new energy vehicles have gone farther, portraying a new legend of an ancient civilization.
The dream of automobiles, the dream of a strong country, and the dream of rejuvenation, we look forward to the distance, and we will come.
It provides a strong security guarantee for the construction of a strong country and the rejuvenation of the nation
-- Written on the National Security Education Day
National security is the foundation of national rejuvenation, and social stability is the prerequisite for a strong and prosperous country. Today is the ninth National Security Education Day. In the past few days, all regions and departments have carried out a wide range of publicity and education activities in various forms around the theme of "the 10th anniversary of the overall national security concept and innovation leadership", so as to promote the concept of great security to take root in the hearts of the people.
On April 15, 2014, General Secretary Xi Jinping presided over the first meeting of the Central National Security Commission, which creatively put forward the overall national security concept from the strategic perspective of upholding and developing socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era, combining Marxist national security theory with contemporary China's security practice and China's excellent traditional strategic culture. Pointing out that "national security is an important cornerstone of a stable and stable country, and safeguarding national security is where the fundamental interests of the people of all ethnic groups in the country lie", emphasizing that "adhering to the people's security as the purpose, political security as the foundation, economic security as the foundation, military, scientific, technological, cultural and social security as the guarantee, and promoting international security as the basis", General Secretary Xi Jinping's important exposition on the overall national security concept has raised our party's understanding of national security to a new height and realm, and provided a fundamental guide for national security work in the new era.

Liu Gensheng People's Daily Review 2024-04-15 10:30 Beijing
Through the holographic image communication system, people can cross thousands of mountains and rivers to achieve "cloud embrace", 6G research and development has made a number of key technological breakthroughs, some of which have been used in satellite communications and other fields, on-demand customized network service capabilities have reached the "minute level", deterministic service guarantee capabilities have reached the "microsecond level", and multi-cloud exchange service capabilities have reached the "tens of millions" level...... The R&D team of Purple Mountain Laboratory continues to tackle key problems and build a new network architecture, which is committed to leading the future of information technology. This enlightens us that scientific and technological innovation is by no means an overnight achievement, and we need to anchor the goal, dive in, and avoid rushing for quick success and quick success.
General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: "I hope that the majority of scientists and scientific and technological workers will shoulder their historical responsibilities, adhere to the world's scientific and technological frontiers, the main economic battlefield, the major needs of the country, and the lives and health of the people, and continue to march towards the breadth and depth of science and technology." "Scientific research work needs to adhere to the "four aspects", constantly study and aim at "breadth and depth", create "from 0 to 1", break through the "stuck neck", and bravely enter the "no man's land". After determining the goal, it is especially necessary to calm down and diligently pursue it with the endurance of "sitting on the bench for ten years", not in a hurry, but also able to walk quickly in small steps, so as to accumulate small victories into big victories.
If you aim high, you won't be overwhelmed by the scenery along the way. Wang Fan, a senior engineer at the Institute of Biophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, led the team to devote many years of research and development to achieve a technological breakthrough in the engineering of new magnetoencephalography and key components for industrial transformation, filling the gap in domestic magnetoencephalography technology at room temperature. Sometimes, if you don't wander in the scenery of one time and one place, it is because there is an infinite scenery of the summit beckoning. This also enlightens people that factors such as external environment and personal ability are important, but the key is whether there is a lofty goal. The charisma and attractiveness of the goal will make people firm and confident, pursue excellence, persevere to climb to the peak, and finally "see the mountains at a glance".
Only with a deep understanding can we act more consciously. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "We say that the big thing is a late bloomer, what is the big thing? It is the best things, the most sophisticated things, these things can not be made all at once, they require a lot of effort, and even a lifetime of energy. To enhance our ideological understanding, we must see clearly the connotation of "big tool" and understand the essence of "big tool". The more you build a big tool, the more you need to grasp the "slow variable" and accumulate momentum. In fact, many seemingly sudden disruptive innovations stem from long-term perseverance. The frontier of scientific and technological innovation is never-ending. Only by integrating knowledge and action, being down-to-earth, respecting the laws of scientific research, and moving forward step by step, can we achieve actual results with calmness and tenacity and accelerate the formation of new quality productivity.
Strengthen the sense of mission, in order to carry heavy burdens and catch up with the long road. Deng Jiaxian, the "father of the two bombs," adhered to the Gobi for decades, sleeping in the open without fear of the wind, and deciphering the mystery of the atomic bomb "by the most primitive method." Zhang Shaoling, the "pear chief", has traveled to more than 120 counties and cities in more than 20 major pear-producing provinces to check the pulse of the pear industry in various places, and is dedicated to "strong pear industry, rich pear farmers, and beautiful pear township". Those who know their responsibilities are the beginning of their husbands, and those who are responsible are the ends of their husbands. How much responsibility, how much career. Caring about national affairs, shouldering national responsibilities, enhancing the sense of mission and responsibility, and tackling the most difficult places, we can "make the most difficult and try to go far".
As the ancients said, "If you don't get sick, you should get it in your hand and in your heart." Nowadays, the mainland's investment in scientific research has increased year by year, and the conditions for scientific research are getting better and better, and the vast number of scientific research workers have kept in mind that "science and technology are the sharp weapon of the country, the country depends on it to be strong, enterprises rely on it to win, and the people's life depends on it", have the courage to shoulder the responsibility of the times, and maintain the persistence of "accomplishing one thing in a lifetime", they will certainly be able to create more innovative achievements and achieve a valuable life.
Resolve crises, overcome difficulties, respond to emergencies, and open a new situation. Since the beginning of the new era, under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core, we have implemented the overall national security concept, comprehensively strengthened national security, and withstood the risks and challenges from politics, economy, ideology, and the natural world. From the establishment of the Central National Security Commission, the formulation and promulgation of a series of laws and regulations in the field of national security, and the continuous improvement of the national security leadership system, the rule of law, the strategic system, and the policy system, to the effective prevention and resolution of various risks and challenges, to withstand and counter extreme external suppression and containment, and to safeguard national sovereignty, security, and development interests with firm will and quality...... Historic achievements and changes have taken place in national security work, demonstrating the scientific value and practical power of the overall concept of national security, and the path of national security with Chinese characteristics is getting broader and broader.
The 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC) drew a grand blueprint for comprehensively promoting the construction of a strong country and the great cause of national rejuvenation through Chinese-style modernization, and made strategic arrangements for modernizing the national security system and capabilities, and resolutely safeguarding national security and social stability. At the first meeting of the 20th Central National Security Commission, General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed: "It is necessary to fully implement the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, deeply understand the complex and severe situation facing national security, correctly grasp major national security issues, accelerate the modernization of the national security system and capabilities, ensure a new development pattern with a new security pattern, and strive to create a new situation in national security work." "Chinese modernization is a pioneering undertaking that has never been done before, and it is also a grand undertaking full of risks and challenges and requires hard work. To this end, it is necessary to unswervingly implement the overall concept of national security, to ensure that safeguarding national security runs through the entire process of all aspects of the work of the party and the state, and to ensure national security and social stability, so that the destiny of the mainland's development and progress can be firmly in our own hands.
At present, the national security issues we are facing have become significantly more complex and arduous. It is necessary to accelerate the modernization of the national security system and capabilities, pay more attention to coordination and efficiency, rule of law thinking, scientific and technological empowerment, and grassroots foundation, and promote the organic convergence and linkage integration of all aspects of construction; Everything depends on the people, consolidates the social foundation of national security, and gathers powerful forces to safeguard national security.
To realize the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and ensure that the people live and work in peace and contentment, national security is the top priority. On the new journey, we will be able to continuously improve the people's sense of gain, happiness and security, and provide a strong security guarantee for the construction of a strong country and the great cause of national rejuvenation by implementing the overall national security concept, improving the national security system, enhancing the ability to safeguard national security, and better coordinating development and security.
Continuously cultivate and expand new kinetic energy and new advantages Commentators observe
Continuously cultivating and expanding new momentum and new advantages: Confidence from the new economic highlights at the beginning of the year (4)
On March 25, BYD announced that its 7 million new energy vehicles rolled off the assembly line. This data was refreshed from 5 million to 7 million in just over 7 months.
On March 28, Xiaomi Auto announced that the new new energy vehicle exceeded 20,000 orders in just 7 minutes after the start of booking, and 50,000 in only 27 minutes.
Since the beginning of the year, the good news of domestic new energy vehicles has been frequent, which is the epitome of the industry's booming production and sales. According to data from the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, from January to March this year, the production and sales of new energy vehicles increased by 28.2% and 31.8% year-on-year respectively, and exports increased by 23.8% year-on-year. China's auto industry, which is moving towards "new" and "green", and its increasing international competitiveness has opened a window for observing China's economy: a number of high-end, intelligent and green emerging industries are rising rapidly, and new quality productivity is showing a strong driving force and support for high-quality development.
General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: "We must lead industrial innovation with scientific and technological innovation, and actively cultivate and develop new quality productive forces." "Working at the forefront of the new track, climbing to the upstream of the value chain, and promoting quality change with efficiency change and power change, have a profound impact on today's Chinese manufacturing. According to the data, from January to February, the output of intelligent products such as service robots and 3D printing equipment increased by 22.2% and 49.5% year-on-year respectively; The construction of a modern industrial system supported by advanced manufacturing has been accelerated, making China's economic growth engine stronger.
Today's investment is tomorrow's supply, investment in emerging industries has maintained rapid growth, and investment in technological transformation in the manufacturing industry has been running at a high level, injecting new momentum into high-quality development. Shandong Yantai Fushan District New Energy Automobile Industrial Park, focusing on batteries, motors, electronic control "big three electricity" investment, and strive to build a 100 billion industry in the next 3 to 5 years; Guangdong Zhongshan Torch High-tech Zone, signed 12 projects of more than 100 million yuan in the first quarter, advancing into new tracks such as optoelectronic information and high-end equipment...... From January to February, the mainland's investment in high-tech industries increased by 9.4 percent, and investment in technological transformation in the manufacturing industry increased by 15.1 percent year-on-year, 5.7 percentage points higher than the growth rate of all manufacturing investment. The integration of scientific and technological innovation resources and the acceleration of the implementation of a large number of good projects focusing on making up for shortcomings and forging long boards will continuously improve the resilience and safety of the industrial chain and supply chain, and create new competitive advantages. We will further expand effective investment, lead the development of strategic emerging industries and future industries, and accelerate the formation of new quality productive forces.
Cultivating new quality productive forces calls for new production relations that are compatible with them. Only by speeding up the construction of a large, efficient, standardized, fair competition, and fully open national unified market can we make the protection of intellectual property rights more effective, the market competition fairer, and the flow of factors smoother. In the G60 Science and Technology Innovation Corridor of the Yangtze River Delta, the Shanghai Stock Exchange provided consultation on the listing of the Science and Technology Innovation Board, the Bank of Jiangsu launched the G60 Science and Technology Innovation Loan, and the Shanghai Pudong Development Bank implemented the linkage of stocks and bonds, and the integration of financial supply and finance, so as to accelerate the formation of strategic emerging industrial clusters in the nine cities. Through the support of the fund, Jiaxing, Zhejiang Province has attracted Shenzhen Syst, which manufactures high-end semiconductor abrasives, Zhejiang Huarong Technology, which focuses on new energy graphite and related composite materials, has settled its production base in Xuancheng, Anhui Province, and Jiaxing Kaisheng Power, which is engaged in the design and manufacture of automotive electronic components, is expected to establish a R&D center in Songjiang, Shanghai. The development of new quality productive forces is an innovation proposition and a reform proposition. By further deepening the reform in an all-round way, breaking through all the blocking points that hinder the deep integration of the innovation chain and industrial chain, improving the efficiency of resource allocation, and striving to improve the total factor productivity, we can not only gain a firm foothold on more new tracks, but also have the ability to run new advantages and show new style.
The key to consolidating and enhancing the positive trend of economic recovery and continuously promoting the economy to achieve qualitative and effective improvement and reasonable quantitative growth is to solidly promote high-quality development. The development of new quality productivity is an intrinsic requirement and an important focus for promoting high-quality development. If we continue to do a good job in innovation, we will be able to accelerate the cultivation and burst out of vitality with new quality productivity.
Train the first-line craftsmen of the big countries one by one People's Times
This year, Yang Jinlong, a representative of the National People's Congress and a teacher of Hangzhou Technician College, submitted a proposal on the deep integration of vocational education and industry. This year, he will also guide students to prepare for the WorldSkills Competition, hoping to help more students stand on the podium of the competition. At the age of 15, he began to learn automobile painting, and at the age of 21, he won the gold medal in the automobile painting project at the 43rd World Skills Competition.
Great craftsmen are the cornerstone and pillars of our Chinese national edifice. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: "Cultivate the first-line craftsmen of the great countries in batches. This is the top beam, without diamonds, you can't do porcelain work. From casting the shining business card of "China's high-speed rail", to picking up the "three pearls" of the shipbuilding industry, and then to making domestic large aircraft soar into the sky...... Behind the heavy weapons and scientific and technological achievements of the great powers, they are inseparable from the hard work of the craftsmen who are persistent and focused, and strive for perfection, which is engraved with the meticulous and pursuit of excellence of the craftsmen of the great countries. The mainland's economy must be supported by the real economy, which requires a large number of professional and technical personnel and a large number of craftsmen from major countries. Cultivating more high-quality technical and skilled talents, skilled craftsmen, and craftsmen of great countries is not only a practical need, but also a great plan for the long-term development of the country.
Vocational education is the cradle of skilled talents and craftsmen of great powers. The mainland has always attached great importance to vocational education and has built the world's largest vocational education system. However, compared with the demand for skilled talents for accelerating the cultivation of new quality productivity and building a modern industrial system, the supply of skilled talents is still insufficient, and the quality, adaptability and attractiveness of vocational education are not high enough. To do a good job in vocational education, it is necessary to continue to increase support, accelerate the construction of a modern vocational education system, further promote the reform of education methods, school-running models, management systems, and guarantee mechanisms, and vigorously improve the quality of vocational education.
The confidence of the craftsmen of a great country is superb craftsmanship. Practicing unique skills is inseparable from the adherence to the spirit of craftsmen. Precious metal smelter Pan Congming went through tens of thousands of repeated tests before achieving the goal of improving the purification process, and fitter Chi Zhao studied hard and practiced hard, and the error of molds, tooling, and diesel engine parts handled was only 0.005 mm...... If you want to practice the skills of perfection, you must have the unremitting pursuit of "doing one line and one line", and you need to accumulate in-depth study. This enlightens us that to cultivate batches of craftsmen in large countries, we need to praise the feelings of craftsmen and cultivate the culture of craftsmen. Create a glorious labor, valuable skills, and create a great social atmosphere, so that the whole society respects and attaches importance to skills, so that there will be an endless stream of craftsmen from great countries and the brilliance of high-skilled talents.
Cultivating a large number of craftsmen from major countries also requires strong policy support and guarantees. From supporting craftsmen to carry out project research and skill inheritance, to setting up special funds for incentives and guarantees for craftsmen in major countries, to strengthening the recommended use of craftsmen in major countries, and strengthening policy support, it will help promote the formation of a good situation in which craftsmen of major countries take the lead and craftsmen continue to emerge. Only by improving and implementing the training, use, evaluation and assessment mechanism of skilled workers, giving them corresponding political status, social status and remuneration, and smoothing the career development channel of skilled talents, can we encourage more workers, especially young people, to take the road of becoming skilled and serving the country with skills.
In December 2023, Wang Shuqun, the chief assembly worker of the third branch of Shanghai Aerospace Equipment Manufacturing General Factory Co., Ltd., won the "Ho Leung Ho Lee Foundation Science and Technology Innovation Award", becoming the first front-line industrial worker to receive this honor. As he said: "Scientific and technological innovation is not only a matter of scientists, as long as skilled workers strive for excellence and dare to be the first, they can also become an important force in our scientific and technological power." "Vigorously promote the spirit of craftsmen in the whole society, and lead workers to take on great responsibilities, do great things, become great tools, and make great contributions in the industry and field, and there will be more solid talent and skill support for high-quality development.
