Suggestions.

At that time, the General Secretary gave Hunan the mission of "focusing on building a highland for important advanced manufacturing industries in the country, scientific and technological innovation with core competitiveness, and reform and opening up in inland areas."

As an important province in central China, Hunan's natural geographical connection with the Yangtze River and its location advantages of connecting the east to the west and connecting the south to the north determine its obvious advantages and potential in promoting the rise of the central region, the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt and promoting high-quality development. Space.

This time, at the critical juncture and important year of the "14th Five-Year Plan", the General Secretary visited Hunan again for inspection and research, which is of great significance for guiding Hunan and all parts of the country to "answer the major question of what kind of development to achieve and how to achieve development."

2. Accelerate the development of new productive forces according to local conditions

General Secretary Xi Jinping's visit to Hunan sent a clear signal on how to develop new productive forces according to local conditions.

Smooth the virtuous cycle of education, technology, and talents--

On the first day of the inspection, the General Secretary came to Hunan First Normal University (Chengnan College Campus) and BASF Shanshan Battery Materials Co., Ltd.

One school, one enterprise, involves education, science and technology, and talents, and is closely related to the development of new productive forces.

This year, the General Secretary emphasized "deepening the reform of the science and technology system, education system, and talent system, and opening up blockages that restrict the development of new quality productive forces"; in February, the General Secretary held the 11th session of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee During collective study, it was emphasized that "we must follow the requirements of developing new quality productive forces and smooth the virtuous cycle of education, science and technology, and talents."

As the basic and strategic support for comprehensively building a modern socialist country, education, science and technology, and talents interact and promote each other. Organic combination of the three aspects of work and integrated advancement will have a multiplier effect on the formation and development of new productive forces.

Promote industrial innovation with technological innovation--

In Changsha, the General Secretary inspected BASF Shanshan Battery Materials Co., Ltd. This company focuses on independent research and development, promotes mass production and commercialization of advanced technological achievements, and its products are used in many fields such as electric vehicles and 3C electronic products.

When participating in the deliberation of the Jiangsu delegation at the National Two Sessions this year, the General Secretary had in-depth exchanges with representatives from the photovoltaic industry. After the two sessions, battery companies were inspected, which fully demonstrated the General Secretary's emphasis on this field.

Scientific and technological innovation is the core element in developing new productive forces. At the National Two Sessions, the General Secretary emphasized "fighting the battle against key core technologies, cultivating new momentum for the development of new quality productivity" and "coordinating the promotion of scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation, and strengthening the transformation and application of scientific and technological achievements." After the two sessions, the General Secretary went deep into enterprises active in scientific and technological innovation, and used a field survey to convey the practical requirements of using scientific and technological innovation to promote industrial innovation and accelerate the cultivation and development of new productive forces.

Expand high-level opening up--

BASF Shanshan Battery Materials Co., Ltd. is a joint venture. The General Secretary visited here and declared that the meaning of expanding high-level opening up to the outside world is very clear.

From "to develop new quality productive forces, we must further comprehensively deepen reforms and form new production relations that are compatible with them" to "to expand high-level opening up to the outside world and create a good international environment for the development of new quality productive forces"... important requirements of the General Secretary, pointing out that new quality productive forces are both a development proposition and a reform proposition.

Only by seeking motivation from reform and vitality from opening up can the prospects for developing new productive forces become broader and broader.

3. Two "must-ensure", base yourself on yourself and keep the bottom line

Hunan is a major agricultural province and one of the 13 major grain-producing areas in the country. Hunan is also a major manufacturing province and plays an important role in the field of construction machinery.

In September 2020, when the General Secretary was inspecting Hunan, he went to Chenzhou to see agriculture and Changsha to inspect the equipment manufacturing industry.

Food security is the "greatest concern in the country." Manufacturing is the lifeblood of the country's economy.

"I often say that two things must be guaranteed. One is that China must secure its food bowl, and the other is that the manufacturing industry must be built firmly. "On March 5, 2023, at the deliberation site of the Jiangsu delegation of the National Two Sessions, the General Secretary profoundly pointed out that a large country with a population of more than 1.4 billion must solve these two problems on its own. It cannot" eat everything in one move "or lack it. No international market can protect us.

The two must-ensure are two safety bottom lines and are related to the overall development.

It is the spring plowing season. On the 19th, the General Secretary came to Changde, Hunan Province, walked into 10,000 acres of farmland to learn about the spring plowing preparations. Fighting the first battle of grain production throughout the year is of great significance to winning summer grain and even a bumper harvest throughout the year.

"We must firmly seize the initiative in food security, and we must seize the opportunity to produce food every year. "The General Secretary clearly understands that only by basing itself on basic food self-sufficiency can a country truly seize the initiative in food security, then have the confidence to deal with risks, and have the ability to ensure national security, social stability, and people's happiness.

This time, BASF Shanshan Battery Materials Co., Ltd., which the General Secretary inspected, is committed to building a stable and sustainable battery supply chain by strengthening manufacturing R & D innovation and green transformation development.

Promoting the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries and promoting high-end, intelligent and green industries is the key to developing new productive forces. In China's process of moving towards high-quality development, promoting high-quality development of the manufacturing industry is the top priority. In today's world where instability and uncertainty have increased significantly, China's manufacturing industry is accelerating its move towards the middle and high end of the value chain, which will create new driving forces and new advantages for development and stabilize the "ballast stone" of a major country's economy.
