The "new quality productivity" that has been hotly discussed in China's economic and industrial circles has become the focus of attention from all walks of life. With the promotion of "accelerating the development of new quality productive forces", China's economy is rapidly moving towards a new peak of innovation, and striving to achieve the "connotation" and "temperament" of development. So, what are the characteristics of this new productive force?
From a conceptual point of view, the "new quality productivity" has the characteristics of "high technology, high efficiency and high quality", and the key lies in innovation and quality first, and its essence is advanced productivity. Over the years, the development of new quality productivity in China has gradually accelerated.
For example, Shenzhen, located on the coast of the South China Sea, has become a globally influential industrial technology innovation center. The output of communication base stations here accounts for half of the world's production, the production of life information and support medical devices accounts for 20% of the world's production, and the production of consumer-grade drones accounts for 70% of the world's production. At the same time, Hefei, the capital of Anhui Province, has also demonstrated remarkable innovation, especially in the development of the quantum science experiment satellite "Micius" and the optical quantum computer. Beijing has made full efforts in the brain-computer interface industry, Shanghai has made efforts to break through the key technologies of the metaverse, and Chengdu has initially formed the world's most cutting-edge nuclear fusion research facility ......These are the results of an in-depth and sustained innovation and development strategy. According to the Global Innovation Index 2023 released by the World Intellectual Property Organization, China ranks 12th, with six indicators ranking first in the world.
Accelerating the development of new productive forces demonstrates China's determination to further ignite the engine of innovation. Looking back at history, we can find that every subversive scientific and technological innovation can bring about the great liberation of social productive forces and profoundly change the development trajectory of human history. In the 21st century, when global scientific and technological innovation is unprecedentedly active, a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation is developing rapidly, the global economic structure is being reshaped, and the global innovation map is also being reconstructed.
Unlike in the past, this "race of innovation" has provided a valuable opportunity for emerging market countries and developing countries to catch up. On the track of new technologies, new formats and new industries, whoever can take the lead and stand at the forefront will be able to grasp the greater initiative and discourse.
In the context of protectionism and anti-globalization, the importance of a country's scientific and technological self-reliance and self-reliance has become more and more prominent. With the accumulation of innovation momentum and the continuous upgrading of its economic structure, China's comprehensive national strength, economic strength, and scientific and technological strength have jumped to a new level, laying a solid foundation for the accelerated rise of new quality productive forces.
New quality productivity, innovation engine, China's economy, scientific and technological innovation, productivity improvement.
