The industrial chain is an important form of modern economy, and its resilience and security level reflect the ability of a country's economy to resist risks, which has an important impact on the construction of a modern industrial system. The Economic Work Conference proposed to improve the resilience and safety level of the industrial chain. In the face of new changes and new challenges, it is an important path to build a modern industrial system and a new development pattern, and it is also an inevitable requirement to enhance the international competitiveness of China's industry, respond to risks and challenges and maintain economic security.
At present, a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation is surging, the international industrial division of labor pattern and competition map have been profoundly adjusted, global industrial competition has entered the "chain era", and the global industrial chain has accelerated its reconstruction, showing the development trend of localization, regionalization, and short chain. As the world's second largest economy, the second largest consumer market and the largest country in goods, China has always been an important participant and maintainer of the global industrial chain. In recent years, China has carried out a series of work to supplement the chain, strengthen the chain and extend the chain around the improvement of the resilience and safety level of the industrial chain, forming a complete industrial chain in many industries, and steadily improving the independent and controllable ability of the industrial chain, laying a good foundation for accelerating the construction of a modern industrial system. However, it should also be noted that China's industrial chain is large but not strong, complete but not refined, tough and brittle, and there are still a series of problems that need to be solved urgently, especially the "stuck neck" problem is still prominent, and the innovation ability of key links is insufficient; An efficient modern circulation system has not yet been built, and the transportation efficiency of production factors is not high; The level of industrial digitalization is not high, and the empowerment effect of the digital economy needs to be improved; insufficient demand-side driving force; Wait a minute. To build a modern industrial system, it is necessary to focus on these shortcomings and weaknesses, open up the first chain stuck points, blocking points and breakpoints of the industrial chain, create a safe, stable and reliable industrial chain with strong anti-risk ability, and ensure the safety and stability of the industrial chain.
First, based on the actual development situation, we should achieve high-level scientific and technological self-reliance and self-reliance. For traditional industries, it is necessary to focus on the basic core areas related to national development and security, take practical needs as the guide, tilt financial investment more towards key technology areas, broaden technology transfer channels, establish various scientific and technological achievement transfer institutions, technology trading markets, and fully release the innovation vitality of business entities. At the same time, to break through the technological bottleneck of traditional industries, it is necessary to increase cooperation and innovation. It is necessary not only to encourage interdisciplinary cooperation among innovation subjects, build innovative research teams with interdisciplinary characteristics, and achieve breakthroughs in key technologies through multidisciplinary in-depth accumulation and discipline integration, but also to carry out international scientific and technological cooperation with a more open attitude, actively integrate into the global innovation network, make full use of global innovation resources, and respond to global development problems with global innovation achievements. For emerging industries, it is necessary to strengthen the main position of enterprise innovation, not only to support large enterprises to become stronger and better, encourage enterprises to integrate innovation resources and elements, cultivate a number of ecological leading industrial chain chain owners and world-class enterprises with global competitiveness, but also support small and medium-sized enterprises to do specialization and refinement, strengthen policy support for small and medium-sized enterprises and start-ups, and form a number of specialized, special and new "little giant" enterprises and single champion enterprises in the manufacturing industry at important nodes of the industrial chain, so as to promote the integration and development of large and medium-sized enterprises.
Second, we should break down barriers and strengthen the construction of a modern circulation system. Perfect circulation infrastructure is the basic guarantee for the efficient circulation of production factors, and is a key node for smooth economic circulation, which is conducive to promoting a virtuous cycle of production and consumption, can effectively link global resources, and embed domestic industries in the global chain, thereby helping to improve the resilience and safety level of the industrial chain. It is necessary to focus on practical needs, accelerate the construction of a three-dimensional comprehensive transportation system with internal and external connections, optimize and improve the layout of comprehensive transportation channels, accelerate the construction of national comprehensive freight hubs, and increase support for the construction of national backbone cold chain logistics bases. It is necessary to accelerate the implementation of the innovation-driven development strategy, promote the whole process of the circulation industry "mechanized substitution, automation reduction, intelligent unmanned", and realize the transformation of the intelligent logistics model based on "Internet of Things + artificial intelligence". It is necessary to break the market segmentation, eliminate regional barriers, promote the market-oriented reform of competitive links in the railway, civil aviation, postal and other industries, implement the management model of "one list for the whole country", simplify the commercial service process of circulation enterprises, and take multiple measures to maintain the order of fair competition in the circulation industry. It is necessary to adhere to the integration and synergy, improve the logistics service standardization system, through the integration of national transportation and warehousing resources, technology and information, rely on artificial intelligence, blockchain and other information technology to achieve full utilization of circulation resources, establish an effective operation mechanism, and ensure and improve the circulation efficiency of strategic resources and basic production factors on the industrial chain.
Third, strengthen digital empowerment and help enterprises "chain" digital transformation. It is necessary to actively guide large enterprises in the industrial chain to play a leading role, focus on the digital transformation needs of small and medium-sized enterprises, encourage large-scale Internet platform enterprises, digital transformation service providers and large enterprises that have successfully transformed to build an industrial Internet platform for the needs of small and medium-sized enterprises, output transformation plans, products and experience, and further enhance the closeness of the connection between the main bodies and links of the industrial chain, which is the key to enhancing the independent and controllable ability of the industrial chain. It is necessary to support the digital transformation of small and medium-sized enterprises in terms of funds, support policies and related supporting measures, vigorously promote digital industrialization, establish and improve the collaborative innovation platform of government, industry, academia, research and application, and promote the deep integration of the digital economy and the real economy. At the same time, it is also necessary to focus on the forward-looking layout of strategic emerging industries in the digital industry, build a digital industrial cluster with international competitiveness, empower the improvement of the resilience and security level of the industrial chain with the high-level development of the digital economy, and help build a modern industrial system.
Fourth, tap the potential of demand and enhance the anti-risk ability of the industrial chain. On the one hand, it is necessary to effectively enhance residents' consumption capacity, and while ensuring the stability of employment in traditional industries, new infrastructure, new energy and high-end manufacturing and other emerging industries should drive employment, promote the growth of residents' income, and then release the consumption potential. On the other hand, the production activities of the industrial chain should be guided by the domestic market demand, and the products and services should be upgraded through technological innovation and process transformation, so as to better fit the current new characteristics of China's traditional consumption upgrading, intelligent consumption and online consumption, new consumption and green and low-carbon consumption in the ascendant, and realize the high-level development of the industrial chain led by domestic demand, smooth the domestic cycle, and accelerate the construction of a modern industrial system.
