Strive to realize Liaoning’s all-round revitalization (authoritative interview, take the first step and see the new atmosphere (19))
As a big industrial province and an old industrial base in China, how can Liaoning give full play to its own advantages and make overall plans to make up the short board and forge the long board? In view of the weak links in the industry, how to implement key core technology research projects and solve a number of "stuck neck" problems as soon as possible? How to intensively cultivate in the field of industrial advantages and create more unique stunts? How to implement the industrial base reengineering project, lay a solid foundation for basic parts, basic processes and key basic materials, and strive to achieve comprehensive and all-round revitalization? The reporter interviewed Zhang Guoqing, secretary of Liaoning Provincial Party Committee.
Reporter: The Central Economic Work Conference made major arrangements for strengthening the country’s strategic scientific and technological strength. How will Liaoning exert its efforts in promoting scientific and technological innovation?
Zhang Guoqing: The Central Economic Work Conference regards "strengthening the national strategic scientific and technological strength" as the first of eight key tasks, which fully demonstrates the firm determination of the CPC Central Committee to implement the innovation-driven development strategy and take the road of strengthening the country through science and technology. Liaoning is rich in scientific and technological innovation resources, so we should unswervingly take the "innovation road" and exert ourselves in the following four aspects:
The first is to set up a platform. We should actively strive for a national innovation platform and scientific apparatus to land in Liaoning. Accelerate the construction of Shenyang National Research Center for Materials Science, concentrate on creating regional comprehensive State Key Laboratories, and cultivate and build a national technological innovation center and a clinical medical research center. Focus on the needs of industrial development, optimize and upgrade a number of key laboratories, industrial technology innovation centers and new research and development institutions.
The second is to choose the right direction. It is necessary to give full play to Liaoning’s industrial advantages and talent advantages in the fields of new materials, fine chemicals, high-end equipment manufacturing, semiconductor chip manufacturing equipment and industrial basic software, focus on solving a number of "stuck neck" problems, and contribute Liaoning wisdom to the country’s scientific and technological self-reliance.
The third is to improve the mechanism. It is necessary to build a substantial Industry-University-Research Alliance so that enterprises can truly become the main body of technological innovation. It is necessary to invest all kinds of innovative resources in enterprises, and enterprises will form a community of interests with universities and research institutes through contractual relations, so that Industry-University-Research Alliance will have the endogenous motivation for innovation and the technological innovation achievements will be transformed into social reality productivity as soon as possible.
The fourth is to optimize the ecology. We should promote technological innovation with institutional innovation. It is necessary to improve the innovation incentive and guarantee mechanism, build a revenue distribution mechanism that can fully reflect the value of innovation elements such as knowledge and technology, improve the scientific and technological evaluation mechanism, comprehensively strengthen the protection of intellectual property rights, create a social atmosphere that advocates innovation, and effectively create a good environment for innovation drive.
Reporter: The Central Economic Work Conference called for enhancing the self-control ability of the industrial chain supply chain. As an important industrial base in China, what considerations does Liaoning have in promoting the upgrading of industrial chain and supply chain?
Zhang Guoqing: Liaoning is a big industrial province with a relatively complete industrial system. Equipment manufacturing, petrochemical and metallurgical industries occupy an important position in the national industrial layout. Liaoning can give full play to its advantages in manufacturing capacity, scientific research, skilled workers and so on, and make contributions to enhancing the independent and controllable ability of the industrial chain supply chain.
First, do a good job in transforming and upgrading the "old brand", deeply developing the "original brand name" and cultivating and expanding the "new brand name".
To transform and upgrade the "time-honored brand" means to empower and increase efficiency for the "time-honored brand" industry with the new generation of information technologies such as artificial intelligence, big data and Internet of Things, especially to enhance the intelligent level of manufacturing industry from the whole chain of independent research and development, design, manufacturing and system integration, and promote the upgrading of manufacturing industry to intelligence, green, high-end and service.
In-depth development of "original brand name" is to supplement, extend and strengthen the chain of metallurgical, petrochemical and other "original brand name" industrial chains, change the situation that "refining" is excessive but "chemical" is insufficient, "coarse chemical" is insufficient, raw materials are excessive and value-added chain is insufficient, and promote the development of "original brand name" industries to the middle and high end of the industrial chain value chain.
Cultivating and expanding the "new brand name" means vigorously promoting the development of strategic emerging industries, high-tech manufacturing and high-tech service industries, and vigorously developing the digital economy. We should give full play to the advantages of scene resources in industrial digitalization and data resources in digital industrialization, do a good job in opening up scene resources and data resources, promote the deep integration of digital economy and real economy, and cultivate and expand digital industrial clusters. At the same time, it is necessary to speed up the construction of digital government and digital society, speed up the improvement of the intelligent level of public services and social governance, and realize the "digital butterfly change" in Liaoning.
The second is to strengthen the foundation, promote the advantages, and lay a solid foundation for basic parts, basic processes and key basic materials. Focus on the development of high-end equipment manufacturing, integrated circuits, fine chemicals, biomedicine, new materials and energy conservation and environmental protection, so as to make the advantages more prominent.
Third, the future industries such as additive manufacturing, flexible electronics, the third generation semiconductor, quantum technology and energy storage materials will be laid out ahead of schedule, and logo products and leading enterprises will be built to form a new industrial echelon, which will contribute to Liaoning’s power in improving the self-control ability of the industrial chain supply chain.
Reporter: How does Liaoning focus on building a new development pattern in service?
Zhang Guoqing: We should revitalize Liaoning in the process of building a new development pattern and build a new development pattern with Liaoning’s revitalization and better service. Liaoning has a good foundation in industry, resources, science and education, ecology and location. Robots, medical CT, high-grade CNC machine tools, gas turbines, large tankers and other products are competitive in the international market. At the same time, Liaoning has a population of more than 43 million, and its per capita deposit ranks in the forefront of the country, which has huge market demand and consumption potential. These are the good foundation and favorable conditions for Liaoning to expand domestic demand and build a new development pattern for services. In particular, Liaoning undertakes the political mission of safeguarding national defense security, food security, ecological security, energy security and industrial security. We should organically combine the political mission of safeguarding the "five major security", the strategic base of expanding domestic demand and the main line of supply-side structural reform, plan high-quality project groups, incite more social capital investment, improve the adaptability of Liaoning’s supply system to domestic demand, and serve to build a new development pattern.
Reporter: The Central Economic Work Conference has made arrangements for comprehensively promoting reform and opening up. Please tell us about this situation in Liaoning.
Zhang Guoqing: General Secretary of the Supreme Leader put forward six requirements for further promoting the revitalization of Northeast China. The first is to comprehensively deepen reform based on optimizing the business environment. To revitalize Liaoning, we must solve the development environment problems, including political ecology, social ecology, natural ecology and innovation and entrepreneurship ecology. Among them, political ecology is fundamental and must be continuously purified.
The ecology of innovation and entrepreneurship is the business environment, which is a major issue related to the overall revitalization and development of Liaoning. We should aim at marketization, rule of law and internationalization, and strive to create a business environment with convenient handling, good rule of law, strong cost competitiveness and ecological livability. Specifically, convenience is to make people and enterprises feel convenient and efficient in doing things in Liaoning, and they can do things without asking for help. It is necessary to strengthen the service spirit of public servants, improve the level of "one network to run" and "one network to manage", leave the "trouble" to ourselves and give convenience to enterprises and the masses. Good rule of law means that market players can feel that their legitimate rights and interests have been protected in Liaoning, see their future clearly and predictably, and develop in Liaoning with peace of mind. Strong cost competitiveness is to lower what should be lowered and raise what should be raised. On the one hand, it is necessary to greatly reduce the institutional transaction cost and the cost of production factors, create a low-cost land and an investment highland, and on the other hand, it is necessary to increase the cost of violating laws and regulations. Ecological livability is to make people and enterprises feel that Liaoning has a good ecological environment and a high livability, which can attract talents and talent teams and make all kinds of talents feel at ease, settle down and work in Liaoning. I believe that as long as we work hard to create a good development environment, all elements will gather in Liaoning, and more and more people will love Liaoning, take root in Liaoning and realize their dreams.
