Strategic transition from "leading in scale" to "breaking through in quality"
2026-03-06
The draft outline of the 15th Five Year Plan emphasizes the leading role of technological innovation, focuses on consolidating and strengthening the foundation of the real economy, and builds a modern industrial system with advanced manufacturing as the backbone. Not long ago, the German Chancellor visited China and made a special trip to Yushu Technology Company in Hangzhou, Zhejiang to watch the martial arts performance of the same humanoid robot on the Spring Festival Gala. From intelligent algorithms to key components, the independent controllability and efficient collaboration of the industrial system have supported China's embodied intelligence to amaze the world time and time again, reflecting the strategic value of the "modern industrial system". Without solid material and technological foundations, we cannot hope to build a great modern socialist country in all respects. The "15th Five Year Plan" has started, and building a modern industrial system and consolidating and strengthening the foundation of the real economy are the primary strategic tasks. This is an active action under the hundred year changing situation, a crucial move in an extraordinary period, and a strategic plan to plan the overall situation. This is not a continued expansion of production capacity or repeated stacking of industries, but a strategic leap from "leading in scale" to "breaking through in quality". For a long time in the past, from clothing and toys selling well worldwide to steel and aluminum production consistently ranking first in the world, the label of "world factory" has enabled China's manufacturing industry to dominate the world with its massive scale. However, the structural contradictions of being large but not strong and comprehensive but not optimal are gradually emerging, becoming a bottleneck that restricts the realization of greater development. The key lies in the shift of the driving force for industrial development from factor input and scale expansion to innovation driven, efficiency improvement, and value-added creation, in order to reshape the industrial backbone with new quality productivity and promote the industrial system towards high-end, intelligent, and green development. Empowering technological innovation injects strong momentum into the "quality breakthrough". In traditional industries, digital technology leads industrial transformation, not only improving production efficiency and product quality, but also bringing environmental benefits; In emerging industries, new tracks such as commercial aerospace and low altitude economy are accelerating their rise, and technological iteration is helping the industrial system to move towards a new and better direction; In the field of future industries, quantum technology, embodied intelligence, and other layouts have shown significant effectiveness, reserving long-term momentum for high-quality development. Promote the deep integration of technological innovation and industrial innovation, allowing innovative achievements to continuously move from the "laboratory" to the "production line", and more and more "Made in China" will transform from "Made in China" to "Created in China" and "Made in China". Structural optimization and upgrading provide a solid framework for "quality breakthrough". In terms of green transformation, the proportion of clean energy has increased, energy consumption per unit of GDP has continued to decline, and green and low-carbon have become the distinctive background of China's industry. In terms of industrial integration, there is deep interaction between the technology and finance industries, cross-border integration of the primary, secondary, and tertiary industries, and the linkage of culture, tourism, commerce, and sports, resulting in a broader blue ocean for development. In terms of the industrial chain value chain, from gathering new energy vehicle components within a 4-hour drive in the Yangtze River Delta to forming an open model of "Hong Kong and Macao services+bay area manufacturing+global market" in the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area, doing a good job in the "chain" can strengthen the industrial backbone and enhance the momentum of development. A modern industrial system with higher quality, stronger resilience, and better competitiveness, like the robust backbone and efficient engine of China's economic giant, determines the pattern and height of future development. We will steadfastly pursue the path of high-quality development and continue to promote the optimization and upgrading of the industrial system. What awaits China is a more beautiful and bright future ahead. (New Society)
