1. A deep understanding of the significance of promoting new industrialization
General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that the Chinese dream is specific to the industrial front to accelerate the promotion of new industrialization. Promoting new-type industrialization is a strategic deployment made by the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core, proceeding from the overall situation of the party and the country, and focusing on building a modern socialist country in an all-round way. It has great practical and far-reaching historical significance.
Promoting new-type industrialization is an inevitable requirement for realizing Chinese-style modernization.Industrialization is the premise and foundation of modernization. Since the founding of the People’s Republic of China, especially since the reform and opening up, we have completed the industrialization process that Western developed countries have gone through in hundreds of years in a few decades, creating a miracle of rapid economic development and long-term social stability. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, under the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core, my country’s industrial system has become more complete, the industrial chain has become more complete, the overall strength and quality of the industry have been continuously improved, and the industry’s innovation, competitiveness, and risk resistance capabilities Significantly improved, and the pace of new industrialization has been significantly accelerated. Both history and reality have shown that in promoting industrialization in a large developing country with a population of more than 1.4 billion, we must not only follow the general laws of world industrialization, but also take a new road of industrialization with Chinese characteristics based on national conditions. In the new era and new journey, new-type industrialization has new connotations and characteristics. It is an industrialization that adheres to the direction of socialist market economic reform, adheres to high-level opening up, and accelerates the construction of a new development pattern. The goal of industrialization that promotes the common prosperity of all people is the industrialization that insists on high-level technological independence and self-improvement, and relies on innovation to drive development. It is the industrialization that builds a modern industrial system and accelerates towards the middle and high end of the global value chain. 1. The industrialization that promotes green and low-carbon development is an industrialization that conforms to the new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation trends and promotes the deep integration of the digital economy and the real economy. To promote new-type industrialization, we must accurately grasp the characteristics and connotative requirements of its era, change the development mode, innovate the development path, and accelerate the process of Chinese-style modernization with new achievements in the development of new-type industrialization.
Promoting new-type industrialization is the fundamental support for comprehensively building a modern and powerful socialist country.The 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China drew up a grand blueprint for comprehensively building a modern socialist country, basically realizing socialist modernization by 2035, and building my country into a prosperous, strong, democratic, civilized, harmonious and beautiful modern socialist country by the middle of this century. To achieve this ambitious goal, we must substantially increase economic strength, scientific and technological strength, and comprehensive national strength, achieve high-level technological self-reliance, build a modern economic system, form a new development pattern, and basically realize new industrialization, informatization, urbanization, and agricultural modernization. Modernize national defense and the military. Industry is the foundation of a country’s comprehensive national strength, and it is an important support for building a strong agricultural country, a strong scientific and technological country, a strong quality country, a strong aerospace country, a strong transportation country, a powerful network country, a digital China and a world-class military. For a big country like ours, without a strong industry, it will be difficult to achieve the goal of a modern and powerful country. It is necessary to accelerate the promotion of new industrialization, accelerate the construction of a manufacturing power, make the real economy stronger, better and bigger, and provide a strong material foundation, technical support and spiritual motivation for the comprehensive construction of a socialist modern power.

Promoting new-type industrialization is an urgent need to build a major country’s competitive advantage.The real economy is the capital of my country’s development, an important support for building a strategic advantage for future development, and the foundation for winning the initiative in international economic competition. Since the founding of New China, especially since the reform and opening up, my country has established an independent and complete industrial system with complete categories, which has provided strong support for the long-term and rapid development of the national economy, and significantly enhanced the confidence and confidence to calmly deal with various risks and challenges at home and abroad. In today’s world, technology and industry are the focus of competition among major powers. In the face of increasingly fierce international competition, it is necessary to accelerate the promotion of new industrialization, achieve high-level technological self-reliance, protect the most complete industrial system in the world, improve the resilience and security level of the industrial chain and supply chain, and improve the status of manufacturing in the global industrial division of labor and competitiveness to ensure that my country wins the initiative in the game of great powers.
Promoting new industrialization is a strategic choice to achieve high-quality economic development.Industry is the main engine of economic growth and plays a key role in stabilizing the macroeconomic market. Industry is the main battlefield of technological innovation, the field with the most active innovation activities, the most abundant innovation results, the most concentrated innovation applications, and the strongest innovation spillover effects. According to statistics, US industry accounts for less than 20% of GDP, but 70% of innovation activities are directly or indirectly dependent on the industrial field. Industry provides raw materials, energy and technical equipment for various sectors of the national economy. It is an important field for realizing the “double carbon” goal and an important pillar for meeting people’s needs for a better life. Without high-quality industrial development, there will be no high-quality economic development. To promote high-quality economic development, the focus is on industry, and the difficulty lies in industry. It is necessary to accelerate the promotion of new industrialization, fully, accurately and comprehensively implement the new development concept, promote technological progress and structural optimization and upgrading, and promote the transformation of the quality, efficiency and driving force of economic development.
2. Accurately grasp the new situation facing the promotion of new industrialization
