On the occasion of the Chinese New Year of the Dragon, a number of Chinese automakers released New Year's production and sales data: in January 2024, China's FAW sales exceeded 29680,000 units, a year-on-year increase of 542%；Dongfeng Motor sells cars 2740,000 units, a year-on-year increase of 1202%；Geely Automobile Group sold 2130,000 units, a year-on-year increase of 110%; BYD's new energy vehicle sales were 2010,000 units, a year-on-year increase of 3314%……
The car has been called the "crown jewel of modern industry". Today, one out of every three new cars sold worldwide is "made in China", and on average, six out of every 10 electric vehicles have batteries from China.
Accelerate the construction of a unified national market, smooth the domestic and international dual circulation, and constantly transform the advantages of the super-large-scale market into competitive advantages ......China's "lane change and overtaking" on the global automobile manufacturing track is exactly the new action that China has shown in implementing the new development concept and building a new development pattern.
In Changchun, Jilin Province, workers are stepping up to make export orders in the prosperous factory area of FAW Hongqi Manufacturing Center. China FAW's vehicle sales in 2023 will be 33670,000 units, a year-on-year increase of 51%, the sales of independent brands, new energy vehicles, and overseas sales increased rapidly.
FAW firmly grasps the development trends of the automobile industry such as electrification, intelligence, networking, and multi-functional integration, and has made every effort to break through a number of original and leading key technological achievements, adding impetus to the innovation and development of China's automobile industry. Wang Deping, president of the FAW Group R&D Institute, said.
While making breakthroughs in key industries and key technologies, China's regional development has also become more balanced. In 2023, China's "big family" of cities with a GDP of one trillion yuan will once again usher in a "new face": the GDP of Changzhou in Jiangsu Province and Yantai in Shandong Province will exceed one trillion yuan, bringing the number of trillion-level cities to 26.
The Yangtze River Delta Physics Research Center, jointly established by the Institute of Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Liyang City, is committed to the industrialization of advanced energy storage technology, which is the exterior of the research center (taken on February 16, 2023, drone **) Photo by Xinhua News Agency reporter Li Bo Changzhou is the fifth "trillion city" in Jiangsu after Suzhou, Nanjing, Wuxi and Nantong, and building a new energy industry is one of the secrets of its success.
According to the data, the output value of Changzhou's new energy industry exceeds 760 billion yuan, and the integrity of the power battery industry chain reaches 97%. A few days ago, Jiangsu Province issued the "Opinions on Supporting the High-quality Development of Changzhou's New Energy Industry" to further support Changzhou to build a "new energy capital".
As an economically strong province, Jiangsu's manufacturing high-quality development index in 2023 will reach 919. Ranking first in the country, Changzhou's breakthrough shows the achievements of the local government in continuously building a new development pattern, relying on manufacturing clusters to promote the transformation of new and old kinetic energy and release growth potential.
Not only the expansion of trillion-dollar cities, but also the advancement of some of China's original trillion-dollar cities: Chongqing's GDP exceeded 3 trillion, Hangzhou and Wuhan achieved a leap from "1 trillion square" to "2 trillion square", and the economic growth rate of Ningbo, Qingdao, Wuxi, Jinan, and Nantong in 2023 exceeded the national GDP growth rate by ......
The first economic work conference held at the end of last year pointed out that it is necessary to adhere to high-quality development as the last word in the new era, and coordinate the expansion of domestic demand and the deepening of supply-side structural reform.
In 2023, Chongqing, a municipality directly under the central and western government, will promote the construction of the Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Circle as the "No. 1 Project", and related major projects will be promoted in an orderly manner, the Sichuan-Chongqing section of the Chongqing-Kunming high-speed railway will enter the track-laying stage of the whole line, the Chengdu-Chongqing Central Line, Yuxi, Yuwan, Chengdawan and other high-speed rail projects will progress smoothly, and the site selection of Chongqing's new airport will be approved.

Under the framework of cooperation in the construction of the Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Circle, the resources of Sichuan and Chongqing have been integrated to build the China-Europe Express (Chengdu-Chongqing) brand, and the cumulative number of trips ranks first in the country.
The implementation of the new development concept and the construction of a new development pattern have effectively promoted the high-quality development of local governments. In Jilin, the province's GDP grew by 63%, the added value of industrial enterprises above designated size increased by 68%, industrial transformation and upgrading accelerated, quality and efficiency improvement; In Chongqing, a total of 288 national specialized, special and new "little giant" enterprises and 13 national individual champion enterprises have been established ......
In the process of accelerating the construction of a new development pattern, China urgently needs to use scientific and technological innovation as the driving force to accelerate the formation of new quality productive forces and inject impetus into the construction of a modern industrial system. **Liu Chunsheng, associate professor at the University of Finance and Economics, believes that all parts of China have deployed the development of new quality productive forces and improved the quality of economic development through scientific and technological innovation. With the support of many favorable policies, the development of strategic emerging industries will form a new engine of economic growth. (Contributor: Lu Huadong).
