The General Secretary provides strong guidance for the development practice of new quality productive forces

On the afternoon of March 5, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized during the review of the Jiangsu delegation at the second session of the 14th National People's Congress that the primary task is to firmly grasp high-quality development and develop new quality productive forces according to local conditions.

(1) Clarify a relationship

(2) Deepen two aspects of understanding

(3) Grasp three key points

The Central Economic Work Conference held at the end of last year deployed economic work for 2024, placing "leading the construction of a modern industrial system with technological innovation" as the first of nine key tasks. In this year's government work report, "vigorously promoting the construction of a modern industrial system and accelerating the development of new quality productive forces" ranks first among the top ten government tasks for 2024.

Technological innovation is the core element of developing new quality productive forces. Timely application of technological innovation achievements to specific industries and industrial chains, and improving the modern industrial system, connects the chain from technological innovation and industrial innovation to the development of new quality productive forces.

From participating in the Jiangsu delegation review in March last year, inspecting Jiangsu in July, to this time participating in the Jiangsu delegation review, the General Secretary has consistently attached importance to technological innovation and the construction of a modern industrial system. Leading with technological innovation, coordinating the upgrading of traditional industries, the growth of emerging industries, and the cultivation of future industries... Jiangsu has the conditions and capabilities to take the lead and set an example.

— Further comprehensively deepen reform.

This year is another important year for comprehensively deepening reform. At the Central Political Bureau's collective study at the end of January, the General Secretary clarified the relationship between developing new quality productive forces and comprehensively deepening reform: developing new quality productive forces must further comprehensively deepen reform and form new types of production relations that correspond to it.

During this participation in the Jiangsu delegation review, the General Secretary again emphasized planning major measures to further comprehensively deepen reform. Using reform methods to unblock bottlenecks will effectively remove constraints and obstacles to the development of new quality productive forces, allowing innovation and creativity to continuously emerge.

— Give full play to the important role of major economic provinces in developing new quality productive forces.

The General Secretary clearly pointed out, "Jiangsu has good conditions and capabilities to develop new quality productive forces," earnestly hoping Jiangsu "become an important base for developing new quality productive forces," and requiring Jiangsu "to link innovation chains, industrial chains, and supply chains on a larger scale, better leveraging the radiation and driving force of major economic provinces for regional and even national development," fully demonstrating that major economic provinces like Jiangsu shoulder important responsibilities in developing new quality productive forces.

The General Secretary's focus on new quality productive forces at the National Two Sessions is based on Jiangsu but also looks nationwide. For all regions, the key is to make good use of the methodology of "adapting to local conditions" pointed out by the General Secretary, continuously deepen theoretical understanding and practical exploration of new quality productive forces, promote sustained economic recovery and improvement, boost the development confidence of the whole society, and truly benefit the people.
