＂New ideas lead a new journey＂, expand strategic emerging industries and cultivate new economic kinetic energy
Cctv news(News Network): General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out that strategic emerging industries are new pillars and new tracks leading the future development. Since the beginning of this year, China’s strategic emerging industries have flourished, and innovation breakthroughs in key areas such as lithium batteries, photovoltaics and new energy vehicles have been accelerating, which has become an important support for high-quality economic development.
The latest data show that in the first half of this year, the investment in high-tech industries in China increased by 12.5%, which was 8.7 percentage points higher than the total investment in fixed assets. At present, the added value of China’s strategic emerging industries has accounted for more than 13% of GDP, and the strategic emerging industries have a strong development momentum.
The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has always attached great importance to the cultivation of strategic emerging industries. Since the beginning of this year, the General Secretary’s many domestic inspections have paid attention to the development of local strategic emerging industries. In Shaanxi, the general secretary asked the local authorities to be brave enough to open up new fields and new tracks and cultivate new competitive advantages; In Jiangsu, the general secretary pointed out that it is necessary to constantly cultivate new industries with new technologies; The the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee Conference held not long ago once again pointed out that it is necessary to vigorously promote the construction of a modern industrial system, accelerate the cultivation and expansion of strategic emerging industries, and create more pillar industries.
