Two-wheel drive to build a modern industrial system

　　In his written speech at the APEC CEO Summit, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out that we should accelerate the construction of a modern industrial system, provide better institutional guarantee for all kinds of business entities to share development achievements, and constantly cultivate new growth momentum and release more room for development.

　　Building a modern industrial system, traditional industries and strategic emerging industries are two important driving forces. Only by promoting the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries and accelerating the development and growth of strategic emerging industries can the foundation of modern industrial system be more solid and the content more abundant. In the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries, technology and production organization are constantly optimized, and the rearrangement and combination of elements will bring about continuous improvement in efficiency. Strategic emerging industries continue to grow in steady development, and the process of continuous conversion between old and new kinetic energy will be smoother.

　　Grasping the dialectical relationship and stage characteristics of the two types of industries and guiding their development by classified policies are the inevitable requirements of the new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, and also an important path to promote the high-quality development of industries based on the reality of China.

　　Traditional industry is an indispensable part of modern industrial system and the foundation of new quality productivity. Traditional industries are vast in scale and are closely related to people’s lives and daily production, which directly determines the stability of the whole industrial system. It can be said that without traditional industries, industrial upgrading is a castle in the air. The traditional industry is not a process of starting a new stove, but an optimization and upgrading on the original good basis. From a technical point of view, it is to put technological transformation into the important link of production and improve the input-output situation with technological progress. From the perspective of production operation management, it is to form more advanced production technologies and processes and improve the stability and reliability of product quality.

　　The transformation and upgrading of traditional industries focus on the macro goal of building a modern industrial system, but the key parts involved are one micro and concrete content after another, how to empower a process to the whole production process through parameter optimization, and how to balance the relationship between stable growth of technological innovation investment and sustainable cash flow … … These are all important questions that need to be answered by the business entity and the government in the process of upgrading traditional industries.

　　Strategic emerging industries are the key force to determine the level of industrial development, and their development level directly represents the level of industrial development. At present, the development of China’s strategic emerging industries is facing the objective requirements of making big increments, optimizing the structure and improving the core competitiveness. From the perspective of opportunity conditions, the breakthrough of cutting-edge technology has been accelerated, the mode of factor organization has undergone profound changes, the integration of advanced manufacturing and producer services has been further deepened, and the advantages of China’s super-large-scale market and a relatively complete supporting system of industrial chain and supply chain have been superimposed to make strategic emerging industries more abundant in application scenarios and stronger in production capacity support. From the perspective of challenge risk, we should speed up the adjustment and optimization of the structure in the process of making big increments, better adapt to market demand, and effectively prevent the risk of overcapacity; Coordinating the relationship between "bigger" and "better", there are still many problems to be solved for the high-quality development of strategic emerging industries.

　　Generally speaking, the policy orientation to support the development of strategic emerging industries should be able to effectively coordinate "can’t wait" and "can’t be urgent". "Can’t wait" means looking at the direction and path, optimizing the implementation mode of industrial policies, and increasing support in accordance with the principles of marketization and rule of law. "Urgent" means to prevent redundant construction, resolutely avoid "rushing headlong into action", and guide local governments to formulate relevant plans based on the actual development of local industries to form a differentiated and characteristic strategic emerging industry development trend.

　　To promote the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries and accelerate the development of strategic emerging industries, an important meaning in the topic is to link and connect the development of the two industries, rather than separating them and isolating them from each other. From the law of industrial development, by accelerating the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries, some important links will be directly connected with strategic emerging industries to form a good situation of integrated development. A key focus of the policy is to maintain fairness and inclusiveness, which is very important for coordinating traditional industries and strategic emerging industries. The core key is to treat each other equally and avoid favoritism. Specifically, it is necessary to form a long-term mechanism that is conducive to the free flow and free switching of various factors between the two industries, and give the two industries the same guiding policies and factor support policies in a fair competitive environment. By continuously shaping a level playing field, promoting high-level opening to the outside world, we will cultivate more business entities with the leading geese effect and consolidate the stability of the industrial chain supply chain. A number of typical cases will be formed in a timely manner, which will provide reference for all localities to carry out industrial system construction in combination with reality. Optimize policy support methods to improve the accuracy and effectiveness of support. In the process of promoting the high-quality development of the two industries, we will pragmatically promote the docking with high-standard international economic and trade rules and enhance the international competitiveness of industries.
