The strategic goal of building a powerful country is clear.
On May 19, the State Council officially released "Made in China 2025", which is the first ten-year action plan for China to implement the strategy of building a strong country. "Made in China 2025" puts forward that China will strive to achieve the transformation from a manufacturing power to a manufacturing power in about 30 years through "three steps", that is, it will enter the ranks of manufacturing powers by 2025, the manufacturing industry as a whole will reach the middle level of the world manufacturing power camp by 2035, and its comprehensive strength will enter the forefront of the world manufacturing power by the centenary of the founding of New China.
The history of the rise and fall of world powers has repeatedly proved that without a strong manufacturing industry, there will be no prosperity of the country and the nation. Strengthening the competitiveness of manufacturing industry, especially the core competitiveness, is the only way to achieve the goal of making a strong country. According to industry experts, today's world powers all have strong manufacturing industries, such as American manufacturing driven by innovation, German manufacturing known for its exquisiteness, and Russian manufacturing that wins by practicality, all of which have achieved one dream after another. And those countries that rely on resources to develop have a high income level, but it is difficult to be called a strong country because of the weak manufacturing industry.
From China's point of view, China used to be the largest manufacturing country in history, but around 1850, China lost its position as the largest manufacturing country, and it was not until 20 10 that China became the largest manufacturing country in the world again. In 20 13, China's manufacturing output accounted for 20.8% of the world, and it remained the largest country in the world for four consecutive years.
However, an unavoidable grim reality is that although China has returned to the position of the largest manufacturing country, the contradiction of "big but not strong" is more prominent, the independent innovation ability of manufacturing industry is insufficient, key core technologies are mastered, the brand quality level is not high enough, and the industrial structure is not reasonable. In this regard, "Made in China 2025" proposes to realize the transformation from China manufacturing to China creation, from China speed to China quality, from China products to China brand, and complete the strategic task of China manufacturing from big to strong.
The crux of the matter is, how can China achieve the historical leap from a manufacturing power to a manufacturing power?
In this regard, when "Made in China 2025" puts forward the strategic goal of "three steps", it also puts forward five "basic policies" to be adhered to, namely, innovation-driven, quality first, green development, structural optimization and talent-oriented; And four "basic principles": market leading and government guiding; Based on the current situation and focusing on the long term; Overall promotion, key breakthroughs; Independent development and open cooperation. At the same time, Made in China 2025 also put forward nine strategic tasks, five key projects and eight strategic support guarantees. The content is rich and the deployment is clear, which sends a strong policy signal to the outside world, and demonstrates China's determination to seize the commanding heights of the new round of competition in manufacturing industry and realize the transformation of manufacturing industry from large to strong.
To realize the historical leap from big manufacturing to strong manufacturing in China, we must firmly grasp the strategic tasks and key points, and comprehensively improve the development quality and core competitiveness. To achieve the strategic goal of strengthening the country, we must adhere to the problem orientation, make overall plans and give prominence to key points; We must unite the consensus of the whole society and accelerate the transformation and upgrading of manufacturing industry. In this regard, "Made in China 2025" proposed five major projects, namely, manufacturing innovation center construction project, strong foundation project, intelligent manufacturing project, green manufacturing project and high-end equipment innovation project. At the same time, specific arrangements have been made for key areas to seek breakthroughs in technology and industrialization, such as the new generation of information technology industry, high-end ships and marine engineering, aerospace, new energy vehicles and so on.
To realize the historic leap from big manufacturing to strong manufacturing in China, we need to firmly grasp the strategic support and guarantee, and create a good atmosphere for the realization of manufacturing power. To build a manufacturing power, we must give full play to institutional advantages, mobilize all forces, further deepen reforms and improve policies and measures; We must cultivate innovative culture and manufacturing culture with China characteristics, and push the manufacturing industry from big to strong. In this regard, "Made in China 2025" puts forward eight strategic supports and guarantees, including deepening the reform of institutional mechanisms, creating a fair market environment, improving financial support policies, and increasing fiscal and taxation policy support.
To realize the historic leap from big manufacturing to strong manufacturing in China, we need to give full play to the core role and leverage effect of the financial industry and constantly improve the financial support policies. Among all kinds of support and guarantee policies, financial policy is particularly valued. "Made in China 2025" has placed expectations on the financial industry in many aspects. For example, it is necessary to deepen the reform in the financial sector, broaden financing channels for manufacturing industries and reduce financing costs; Give full play to the advantages of policy finance, development finance and commercial finance. At the same time, it is necessary to improve the multi-level capital market, promote the standardized development of the regional equity market, and support qualified manufacturing enterprises to list and finance at home and abroad and issue various debt financing instruments; Encourage qualified manufacturing loans and leased assets to carry out securitization pilot projects; Encourage the development of loan guarantee insurance and credit insurance business.
At present, the development of China's manufacturing industry faces both new challenges and historic opportunities. We must focus on the whole world, step up strategic deployment, focus on building a manufacturing power, turn challenges into opportunities, form new impetus for economic growth, shape new advantages in international competition, and successfully realize the strategic goal of making China a manufacturing power.
