BEIJING, May 31 (Xinhua) -- An article on new quality productive forces, by Xi Jinping, general secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, will be published on Saturday.
The article by Xi, also Chinese president and chairman of the Central Military Commission, will be published in this year's 11th issue of the Qiushi Journal, a flagship magazine of the CPC Central Committee.
Developing new quality productive forces is an endogenous requirement and a pivot of high-quality development, the article wrote.
According to the article, steps should be taken to push ahead with sci-tech innovation, which can generate new industries, new models and new momentum, and is the core element for developing new quality productive forces. It is a must to strengthen sci-tech innovation, especially original and ground-breaking innovation, and step up efforts to build "high-level self-reliance and strength in science and technology."
The article underscored the need to promptly apply sci-tech innovation achievements to specific industries and industrial chains, transform and upgrade traditional industries, cultivate and strengthen emerging industries, make plans for the development of future industries, and improve the modern industrial system.
It pointed out that green development underlies high-quality development, and that the new quality productive forces in essence are green. It is imperative to accelerate the transition to a model of green development and work toward the goals of reaching carbon peaking and carbon neutrality.
The article noted that the relations of production must meet the requirements for developing productive forces. It is necessary to deepen reform across the board to create a new type of relations of production that is compatible with the development of new quality productive forces.
The article came from a speech delivered by Xi during a group study session of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee in January 2024. ■
