From July 7 to 5, Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee, President of the People's Republic of China, and Chairman of the Central Military Commission, successively visited Suzhou, Nanjing and other places to conduct research in industrial parks, enterprises, historical and cultural districts, scientific laboratories, etc., which was Xi Jinping's first domestic inspection in the second half of this year.
At this year's National People's Congress, Xi Jinping participated in the review of the Jiangsu delegation, and after four months, he came to this major coastal economic province for field research. During the inspection, Xi Jinping put forward a clear requirement for Jiangsu - "to be at the forefront and demonstrate in promoting Chinese-style modernization." This expedition is at the middle of the year, and "time" and "space" have become the key perspectives for the outside world to observe the trip.
To promote Chinese-style modernization, we must grasp well the work in the first year. From the perspective of time, China's economic development has shown great resilience in the complex and severe external environment, and at present, China is in a critical period of economic recovery and industrial upgrading. Chen Fengying, former director and researcher of the Institute of World Economy of the China Institute of Contemporary International Relations, has long been engaged in the research of the world economy and China's foreign economic relations, and she believes that conducting investigation and research in the middle of the year is of great significance for better planning development ideas, deploying economic work, and promoting the completion of the annual economic and social development goals and tasks.
From the spatial dimension, Jiangsu's position in China's economic map is pivotal, the province is a large economic province, a large population province, a large cultural province, an open province, the important characteristics of Chinese-style modernization are more concentrated in Jiangsu, Jiangsu's modernization construction in the national "chess game" has important typical significance, Jiangsu also bears the hope of "continuing to be at the forefront of high-quality development".
Wang Heng, a researcher at the National Institute of Development and Strategy of Chinese Minmin University, noted that after the end of the first quarter of this year, Xi Jinping went to Guangdong, the largest province in terms of economic aggregate, and after the end of the second quarter, he came to Jiangsu, which ranked second, "At an important node of economic development, research and deployment in major economic provinces is undoubtedly a major 'wind vane' for observing China's future development path." ”
To walk ahead and make an example, we must anchor the primary task of high-quality development and grasp the key factors of Chinese-style modernization. Achieving high-quality development is one of the essential requirements of China's modernization. Some foreign media commented that this concept is the key to the transformation and upgrading of China's economic structure, which will determine the temperament of China's economy and has the significance of "watershed".
This visit is Xi Jinping's third trip to Jiangsu after the 2017th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. High-quality development has always been the focus of Xi Jinping's inspection in Jiangsu. In December 12, just over a month after the conclusion of the 2020th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Xi Jinping visited Jiangsu and pointed out that China's economy must pass from high-speed growth to high-quality development. In November 11, Xi Jinping went to Jiangsu again, giving this major coastal economic province an important mission, "focusing on reform and innovation and promoting high-quality development."
"Firmly grasp the primary task of high-quality development," Xi Jinping said during this year's National People's Congress and National People's Congress (NPC) during the Jiangsu delegation's review. After four months of field investigation in Jiangsu, Xi Jinping refocused on grasping this "primary task", looking at the overall situation from one region, and how to promote Chinese-style modernization with high-quality development is also clearer.
From the site of the National Two Sessions to the front line of scientific and technological innovation, Xi Jinping has always been concerned about high-level scientific and technological self-reliance and self-improvement. During this inspection in Jiangsu, Xi Jinping once again requested in the Suzhou Industrial Park, which is famous for daring to "be the first to eat crabs", to strengthen the docking of scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation. At the Purple Mountain Laboratory in Nanjing, Xi Jinping stressed that with the rapid development of information technology, disruptive technologies may appear at any time.
From the Jinji Lake in Suzhou to the downtown area of Nanjing, while walking, the intention of promoting high-level scientific and technological self-reliance and self-improvement is very clear. Especially at the work report meeting of the Jiangsu provincial party committee and the provincial government, Xi Jinping clearly pointed out that the key to Chinese-style modernization lies in scientific and technological modernization. As soon as this statement was proposed, it attracted great attention from the outside world. In this regard, Su Jian, director of the National Economic Research Center of Peking University, analyzed that scientific and technological innovation is the top priority to achieve high-quality development and realize Chinese-style modernization, opening up new fields and new tracks for development, shaping new momentum and new advantages for development, fundamentally speaking, or relying on scientific and technological innovation.
Wang Heng pointed out that focusing on this inspection, we can see everywhere the innovative exploration to achieve high-level scientific and technological self-reliance and self-improvement, and the vivid practice of "bravely picking the big beam and walking in the forefront" can be seen everywhere. Since the beginning of this year, high-level scientific and technological self-reliance and self-improvement have become an important content of Xi Jinping's domestic inspection, as he said, "whether we can build a modern socialist power in an all-round way as scheduled, the key depends on scientific and technological self-reliance and self-improvement."
During Xi Jinping's visit to Jiangsu, the outside world noticed that the real economy represented by advanced manufacturing is also the focus of his attention. In the first stop of the trip to Jiangsu, Suzhou, as an innovative city, is based on manufacturing, and Nanjing, with automobiles, steel, electronics, and petrochemicals as its pillar industries, has long become one of its "city cards".
"Continuously cultivate new industries with new technologies and lead industrial upgrading", "We must accelerate the iterative upgrading of key technologies and core products", "Accelerate the construction of a modern industrial system with advanced manufacturing as the backbone"... During his inspection in Jiangsu, Xi Jinping put forward many detailed requirements for the development of the manufacturing industry, and stressed that it is necessary to adhere to the real economy and build a modern industrial system as the key to strengthening the province.
This is reminiscent of Xi Jinping's exchange with representatives of workers from Jiangsu XCMG during the National People's Congress and the National People's Congress this year. "China cannot lack manufacturing at any time." At that time, Xi Jinping stressed that "two must be guaranteed", and manufacturing must be firmly built.
"In the 'window period' of China's economic transformation, around the 'primary task' of high-quality development, the real economy represented by advanced manufacturing will be a key part of the construction of a modern industrial system." Chen Fengying analyzed.
Wang Heng further pointed out that through Xi Jinping's inspection trip to Jiangsu, China further indicated that in the future, it will adhere to the orientation of focusing on the real economy and accelerating the construction of a modern industrial system, which also clearly presents China's specific path towards high-quality development.
