Theoretical contribution and practical path of high-quality development in manufacturing industry

2025-09-18   

Manufacturing is the "anchor" of a big country's economy, related to the country's economic lifeline and is the key to ensuring national security. General Secretary Xi Jinping has repeatedly stressed that "manufacturing is the foundation of the country and the key to a strong country" and listed the need to consolidate manufacturing and the need to firmly control the food bowl as "two musts", profoundly revealing the fundamental role of manufacturing in the overall modern construction.
At present, the overall scale of China's manufacturing industry has ranked first in the world for many years, and the industrial system is complete in categories, but problem of being big but not strong still exists, the bottleneck of key core technologies being restricted by others urgently needs to be broken through, the resilience of the industrial and supply chains facing tests, and the promotion of the global value chain position has a long way to go. Effectively responding to various difficulties and challenges, striving to advance from a manufacturing power to manufacturing strong power, and promoting the high-quality development of manufacturing industry bears a dual mission: on the one hand, it bears the heavy responsibility of promoting Chinese-style modernization mainly by stabilizing and promoting employment to consolidate the basic livelihood security, promoting common prosperity through technology diffusion, and achieving harmonious coexistence between man and nature through green transformation on the other hand, it undertakes the mission of exploring and solving the problems brought about by industrial civilization. Some Western industrialized countries have been deeply trapped in the dilemma of technology and industrial hollowing, while China, with independent innovation as the core, adhering to the concept of green and low carbon, has led the manufacturing industry to a new path development, and strives to provide a new solution for the world that unifies the right to development and the right to environment.

In the face of the new round of scientific technological revolution and industrial transformation, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that "we should promote the high-quality development of manufacturing industry in the direction of high-end, intelligence anding". This requirement not only anchors the direction of transformation, but also reveals the way to break the deadlock, that is, to break the technological monopoly with independent, to break the "low-end lock-in" with value leap, and to coordinate development and security with systematic thinking. China's manufacturing industry's transformation and upgrading a new path that takes into account efficiency and fairness, coordinates technological progress and civilization evolution, and provides a new choice for achieving modernization

Scientific Guidance of Ideological Theory
Ideas come before action, and theory guides practice. High- development of manufacturing industry cannot be separated from the guidance of advanced ideological theory. General Secretary Xi Jinping profoundly pointed out that "high-quality development of manufacturing industry is the most important of the high-quality development of China's economy. To build a socialist modern country and to develop and strengthen the real economy, we cannot do without manufacturing industry. We need continue to work hard on promoting the optimization and upgrading of industries" and "we need to build on the existing industrial foundation, solidly promote the high-quality development of advanced industry, accelerate the upgrading of traditional manufacturing industry, and play the role of scientific and technological innovation as a incrementer". These important statements are not only rooted in Marxist political but also profoundly respond to the practical requirements of the times, providing theoretical guidance for promoting the high-quality development of manufacturing industry.
The people-centered development philosophy has defined value orientation of manufacturing development. In the process of promoting the high-quality development of manufacturing industry, China has always taken improving people's lives and well-being as the starting and the foothold, promoted full employment to solidify the foundation of common prosperity, practiced the concept of ecological civilization by building green factories, and shaped the connotation of culture by inheriting the spirit of craftsmanship. This development concept transcends the concept of "seeing things but not people", making industrial progress resonate with the development of people
The dialectical principle of coordinating development and security provides methodological guidance for the transformation and upgrading of manufacturing industry. Faced with the challenge of global industrial chain restructuring, on one hand, China has implemented the "chain leader system" in depth, forming industrial synergy and building a solid foundation for industrial security through building chains, extending chains, filling gaps and strengthening chains. On the other hand, by promoting the "Belt and Road" initiative, China has pushed standards "going to sea" and improved its independent innovation capability open cooperation. A deep understanding of the dialectical relationship between development and security also helps coordinate ecological protection and economic development. When the steel industry achieves "black to green" through ultralow emissions, and when the textile industry moves towards flexible customization through digital technology empowerment, the new vitality of traditional industries is a vivid reflection of the socialist view of ecological civilization
