Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, Feb. 8 (Xinhua) -- The enlightenment of the "new three" counterattack.
Xinhua News Agency reporter Liu Zheng.
In the context of the current economic difficulties, the performance of China's "new three" - electric manned vehicles, lithium-ion batteries and solar batteries - is eye-catching.
In 2023, the total exports of the "new three" will exceed one trillion yuan for the first time, an increase of 29 over the previous year9%, higher than the overall export growth rate of 293 percentage points, but also to promote China to become the world's largest country in automobile manufacturing and solar energy installed capacity, so that the world is impressed by "Made in China".
From the "short board" that lagged behind the world at the beginning to the "long board" that is now leading the world trend, the changes can be described as earth-shaking. The results achieved by breaking through the barriers can be seen in the real chapter.
First of all, rely on scientific and technological innovation to take your destiny into your own hands, and there will be a qualitative leap when quantitative changes accumulate to a certain stage, and we must have perseverance and patience.
China's auto industry once wanted to "exchange the market for technology", but it could only follow the development, and the same model of the joint venture brand often became the world's leading highland. However, after more than 10 years of hard work, by seizing the opportunities of "corner overtaking" such as electric vehicles and intelligent networking, domestic electric vehicles have ushered in explosive growth with technological innovation and become a global cost-effective highland, benefiting Chinese and even world consumers.
Take a look at this layout and this scene: on the bank of the Pearl River in Guangzhou, the 7,500-acre GAC Zhilian New Energy Automobile Industrial Park is busy, with the vehicle factory as the core, it can realize the battery, electronic control, chassis, body and other core components within 10 kilometers. On the first day of the new year, the "Jiuyangji" car ro-ro ship carried 3,600 domestic new energy vehicles to Mexico.
Looking back on the past, I can't help but feel a lot of emotion. Similarly, Europe and the United States were far ahead in solar power generation technology and application, and now China ranks first in the world in the number of patent applications for solar cells, becoming a global industry leader.
Gu Shiyun: "Where is Chang'an, only under the horse's hooves." If industrial upgrading is "Chang'an", innovation-driven is "horseshoe". According to the World Intellectual Property Organization, China's innovation index has risen from 29th in the world in 2011 to 12th in 2023. The momentum has risen, and it can be done. With perseverance, the effect of innovation drive will become more and more apparent.
Second, the advantages of institutional mechanisms are our unique magic weapon for cultivating new kinetic energy, and we must have foresight and courage.
To promote independent innovation, as a "visible hand", it is very important to guide the force. This is precisely where the unique advantages of the socialist market economy system with Chinese characteristics lie, and it is one of the sources of creating the "Chinese miracle". In the early stage of the development of strategic emerging industries, they are often weak, and they have increased guidance and support to protect the development and growth of emerging industries.
It is true that in this process, we have experienced some hardships and even setbacks, and it is inevitable that some enterprises will fail, but the final effect not only meets or even exceeds expectations.
After years of cultivation, China has formed a new generation of information technology, biotechnology, new energy, new materials, high-end equipment, new energy vehicles, green environmental protection and other industries including strategic emerging industries. According to information from the National Development and Reform Commission, the added value of strategic emerging industries has increased from about 8% of GDP at the beginning of the 13th Five-Year Plan to more than 13% in the middle of the 14th Five-Year Plan, and is expected to exceed 17% in 2025. New kinetic energy continues to exert force.
Finally, in the midst of difficulties, we must seize the opportunity to run forward, break through, and act firmly.
To say that it is difficult, in the great changes in the world unseen in a century, which country is not difficult? Is it possible to move from high-speed growth to high-quality development? Looking back on the course of China's economic development, it has never been smooth sailing, and we have seized opportunities and achieved leaps again and again in the midst of many difficulties.
He stepped on the peak and looked at the eyes. Although there are many difficulties, the advantages are accumulating. The ** Economic Work Conference held at the end of 2023 emphasized that the favorable conditions facing China's development are stronger than the unfavorable factors. With a large market of more than 1.4 billion people, the world's most complete industrial system, and the strong support of comprehensively deepening reform and opening up, as long as we find the right direction, give full play to our advantages, and persevere, we will continue to create a new situation of development.
