We must have a sense of urgency of the times, and we must not wait, wait and see, or slack off. After the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, innovation has become the first of the new development concepts, which has great theoretical significance, practical significance and value of the times, which also means that through the continuous improvement of independent innovation capabilities, to accelerate the transformation of economic and social development, so as to truly achieve the sustainable development of the mainland.
The light of new ideas illuminates a new era.
General Secretary Xi Jinping's footsteps have stepped into the place where the elements of innovation are most active again and again.
In scientific research institutes, the general secretary pointed out that it is necessary to aim at the world's frontier of science and technology, seize the general trend, play a good "first move", and achieve major breakthroughs in forward-looking basic research and leading original achievements;
At the National People's Congress and the National People's Congress, the general secretary emphasized that "the innovation chain is deployed around the industrial chain, the 'island phenomenon' in scientific and technological innovation is eliminated, and the innovation achievements can be transformed into real productivity faster";
During the local investigation, the general secretary hoped that scientific and technological workers "should enhance the sense of urgency and mission of scientific and technological innovation, put scientific and technological innovation in a more important position, and kick the 'door to the door'";
During the inspection of the enterprise, the general secretary proposed that "technological innovation is the lifeblood of the enterprise." Only with independent intellectual property rights and core technology can we produce products with core competitiveness and be invincible in the fierce competition."
At present, the high-tech field has become the forefront and main battlefield of international competition, profoundly reshaping the global order and development pattern. In 2023, in the face of the new domestic and international situation, General Secretary Xi Jinping has a keen insight into the needs of the times, the urgency of development, and the general trend, and creatively puts forward a major thesis on the development of new quality productivity, emphasizing that "we must do a good job in innovation and promote the accelerated development of new quality productivity", profoundly revealing the relationship between scientific and technological innovation and development of new quality productivity.
