Having a solid and developed real economy is the key to make China have long-term competitiveness. The Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China clearly put forward that "the focus of economic development should be placed on the real economy", and detailed arrangements were made around the development of the real economy. This is a major strategic choice made by the CPC Central Committee based on the overall situation and facing the future, which is of great and far-reaching significance.
The real economy is the lifeblood of China's economy. Looking back at the 13th five year plan, the central government has made many important arrangements around the development of the real economy. Whether it emphasizes "vigorously revitalizing the real economy" and "consolidating the foundation of the real economy" or "insisting on taking the real, strong and excellent real economy as the main direction of attack", the unchanged core logic is "putting the focus of economic development on the real economy". It should be said that China's development depends on the real economy, but also depends on the real economy for the future. As general secretary Xi Jinping pointed out, "no matter what the economic development, the real economy is the foundation of China's economic development and the winning of the international economic competition." To achieve the development goal of the "14th five year plan" and even the long-term goal of 2035, we must make efforts to consolidate the real economy. This is a strategic force that we should always maintain.
Looking forward to the new journey, we should have a profound insight into the "time" and "potential", "danger" and "opportunity" faced by the development of the real economy. Raging like a storm, novel coronavirus pneumonia has accelerated the evolution of the international pattern, and the competition among countries around the real economy has become more intense. Some developed countries reflect on the development mode of "de real to virtual", and even try to encourage the "de Sinicization" and "localization" of the industrial chain by taking advantage of the epidemic situation, which has a negative impact on the development of China's real economy. Looking inward, China will enter a new stage of development, and high-quality development is in urgent need of "breakthrough". If there is no solid real economic system as the support, whether it is to enhance the innovation ability, realize the self-reliance of science and technology, or form a strong domestic market and build a new development pattern, it will be a water without a source and a tree without roots.
Therefore, we must adhere to the system concept and grasp the development of the real economy in a more grand historical dimension. We should consider building a manufacturing power, a quality power, a network power and a digital China as a whole, adhere to the principle of giving priority to the real industry, grasp the key areas, optimize the support and guarantee, and constantly improve the economic quality, efficiency and core competitiveness.
The focus of economic development should be placed on the real economy, and we should adhere to the principle of giving priority to the real industry. At present, some real industries in China have been in the downstream or even outsourcing position of the supply chain for a long time, far away from the core of the industrial chain, resulting in the relatively extensive and passive development mode of China's real economy. In view of these problems, we must adhere to self-reliance and build a reliable and controllable strong industrial chain. On the basis of continuing to do everything possible to maintain the integrity of the industrial chain, it is necessary to lengthen the long board and supplement the short board, and build an independent, controllable, safe and reliable domestic production and supply system in the fields and nodes related to national security. In addition, we should deploy innovation chain around the industrial chain, lay out the industrial chain around the innovation chain, build a solid foundation of the real economy, and firmly hold the real industry in its own hands.
We should focus on the real economy and focus on key areas. Manufacturing industry is the main battlefield of revitalizing the real economy. We should do something about "going out", "transferring" and "cultivating": we should resolutely and thoroughly "go" backward production capacity and speed up "changing cages and birds"; we should vigorously "transform" with the help of new technologies to promote the digitalization, networking and intelligent upgrading and transformation of traditional industries; we should aim at the high-end frontier and accurately "educate" to cultivate and develop digital economy High end industries such as artificial intelligence and quantum technology will seize the commanding heights of future industrial development.
Put the focus of economic development on the real economy, and adhere to the optimization of support and guarantee. In this process, we should not only increase investment in transportation, water conservancy, energy and other fields, make up for the shortcomings of infrastructure, but also accelerate the investment in "new infrastructure" such as 5g, artificial intelligence and industrial Internet, so as to pave a "high-speed road" for long-term development. At the same time, policies, funds, technology, talents and other elements should be continuously gathered to realize the coordinated development of real economy, scientific and technological innovation, modern finance and human resources, so as to provide more solid industrial support for high-quality development in the "14th five year plan" and even longer period.
