General Secretary Xi Jinping: The Manufacturing Industry In The Two Compulsory Insurances Should Accelerate To Move Towards The High-End

General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed during the deliberation of the Jiangsu delegation at the first session of the 14th National People's Congress held on March 5, "I often said that two must be guaranteed, one is that China must secure the food bowl, and the other is that the manufacturing industry must be consolidated. A large country with a population of more than 1.4 billion must solve these two problems by itself". The important speech of the General Secretary once again clarified the strategic position of the manufacturing industry as the lifeline of the national economy, and pointed out the direction for the high-quality development of China's manufacturing industry.

Manufacturing is the foundation of building a country and a strong country. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, focusing on the overall strategic situation of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and the unprecedented changes in the world in a century, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core has attached great importance to the development of the manufacturing industry, and has repeatedly stressed the importance of accelerating the construction of a manufacturing power, which has provided a fundamental basis for building the foundation of China's manufacturing industry. From the central government to the local government, a series of policies have been issued successively, bringing "timely rain" to the development of the manufacturing industry, and giving strong support to the advantages of China's manufacturing industry.

The world's most complete industry categories, the most complete industrial system, and the world's leading industrial chain supporting capacity have laid a solid foundation for China's manufacturing industry to continuously improve its innovation, competitiveness, and risk resistance. Moreover, relying on China's super large-scale market advantage and the world's largest middle-income group, in the wave of deep integration of the digital economy and the real economy, new competitive advantages of China's manufacturing industry are being formed and increasingly prominent.

Sail against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. From the perspective of the overall trend, a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation is booming. The major industrial powers in the world have deployed manufacturing industry to seize the commanding heights of competition. The global industrial chain restructuring, supply chain remodeling, and value chain restructuring are deepening. Externally, in recent years, some countries have continuously upgraded their crackdowns on China's advanced manufacturing industry, and China's manufacturing industry is facing a complex international environment. Internally, China's manufacturing industry is still at the middle and low end of the global value chain, and there are still problems such as large but not strong, some core technologies are restricted by people, and the supply and demand structure is unbalanced.

China's manufacturing industry must improve its internal skills to make progress. As General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed, China cannot lack manufacturing at any time. At present, China's manufacturing industry has a complete range of categories and varieties. The next step is to strive to develop high-end manufacturing industry to achieve comprehensive improvement. Promoting China's manufacturing industry to move towards the high-end is an urgent need to build the competitive advantage of a big country, and is also a strategic choice to achieve high-quality economic development.

The first is to strengthen the industrial foundation. The industrial chain and supply chain can not be broken at a critical moment, which is an important feature of a large country's economy. Practice has proved that if you want to keep the chain, you have to further promote the "strong chain to supplement the chain and stabilize the chain". We will strengthen the reconstruction of the industrial base and tackle major technical and equipment problems, focus on making up weak points and forging long ones, strengthen the supply guarantee of raw materials, key parts, etc., implement the project of leading enterprises to ensure and stabilize the chain, strengthen the collaborative research of upstream and downstream of the industrial chain, large, small and medium-sized enterprises, and promote the development of the whole industrial chain.

The key is to accelerate the construction of a modern industrial system. The leading position of advantageous industries should be consolidated, and more Chinese business cards should be polished in the fields of new energy vehicles, photovoltaic, mobile communications, electric power equipment, etc; Traditional industries should radiate new advantages through transformation and upgrading to enhance their position and competitiveness in the global division of labor; Emerging industries should be actively cultivated and expanded. Future industries should be forward-looking and occupy the commanding heights of competition.

It is fundamental to stimulate innovation vitality in an all-round way. Innovation is the core driving force for manufacturing industry to grow from big to strong, and enterprises are the main body of scientific and technological innovation. A strong enterprise makes a strong industry. China's manufacturing industry needs not only large enterprises with international competitiveness and ecological leading enterprises with industrial chain control power, but also small and medium-sized enterprises with unique skills. Only by building a sound industrial ecology of large, small and medium-sized enterprises for innovative development and building a collaborative innovation system of manufacturing industry, can we input more impetus to China's manufacturing industry and truly build the foundation of manufacturing industry.
