Ministry of Industry and Information Technology: Build emerging pillar industries such as integrated circuits and aerospace, and continue to crack down on "internal competition"

On March 19, Xin Guobin, member of the Party Group and Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, chaired a symposium on the operation of industrial economy in some provinces in the first quarter and the formulation of the "Fifteenth Five-Year Plan". The meeting mentioned the need to accelerate the improvement of industrial scientific and technological innovation capabilities, strengthen scenario traction, promote the application of new products, and build emerging pillar industries such as integrated circuits, aerospace, biomedicine, and low-altitude economy. It is also necessary to cultivate future industries such as quantum technology, embodied intelligence, brain-machine interfaces, and 6G. The meeting emphasized the need to continue rectifying "overlapping" competitions, encourage enterprises to invest more resources in research and development innovation, quality improvement, and strengthen monitoring and early warning of key product capacity. Original Text: Symposium on the operation of industrial economy in some provinces in the first quarter and the formulation of the "Fifteenth Five-Year Plan" held in Qingdao On March 19, member of the Party Group of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and Deputy Minister Xin Guobin chaired a symposium on the operation of industrial economy in some provinces in the first quarter and the formulation of the "Fifteenth Five-Year Plan" in Qingdao, Shandong Province, to understand the current work in key areas and plan deployment for promoting stable growth of the industrial economy and making good preparations for the formulation of the "Fifteenth Five-Year Plan". The meeting pointed out that since the beginning of this year, the industrial and information technology system across the country has resolutely implemented the decisions and deployments of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, vigorously promoted key tasks, achieved a good start in the industrial economy in the first two months, with a year-on-year growth of 6.3% in the value-added of industries above a designated size, and orderly progress in the formulation of the "Fifteenth Five-Year Plan". Next, we must effectively unify our thoughts and actions with the scientific judgments of the Central Committee of the Party on the economic situation and its decisions on economic work, thoroughly implement the tasks assigned at the National Two Sessions, actively leverage policy forces, promote supply-demand compatibility, promote the upgrading of industry capacity, enhance the efficiency of industry governance, and consolidate the good momentum of the industrial economy. The meeting emphasized the need to prioritize promoting stable growth of the industrial economy, focus on key industries and key regions, coordinate supply and demand in the same direction, implement policies to boost domestic demand such as "two reductions" and "two news", create new demand by leading with high-quality supply, further facilitate domestic circulation, and promote diversified exports to stabilize industrial exports. It is necessary to accelerate the improvement of the capabilities of industrial scientific and technological innovation, strengthen scenario traction, promote the application of new products, build emerging pillar industries such as integrated circuits, aerospace, biomedicine, and low-altitude economy, and cultivate future industries such as quantum technology, embodied intelligence, brain-machine interfaces, and 6G. It is important to continue to rectify "overlapping" competitions, encourage enterprises to invest more resources in research and development innovation, quality improvement, and strengthen monitoring and early warning of key product capacity. It is necessary to complete the formulation of the series of "Fifteenth Five-Year" plans for the industrial and information technology sectors with high quality, strengthen the alignment of planning between the central and provincial levels, streamline and optimize cross-redundant, ineffective planning tasks, and ensure that planning is implemented and effective. It is important to deeply study and promote the critical issues of new industrialization, strengthen judgment of economic operation risks and policy reserves, guard the bottom line of safe development, and promote the qualitative and efficient improvement and rational growth of the economy. At the meeting, officials in charge of industrial and information technology departments from 13 provinces, including Hebei, Liaoning, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui, Fujian, Shandong, Henan, Hubei, Hunan, Guangdong, Sichuan, and Shaanxi, exchanged views. Officials from relevant departments of the ministry also attended the meeting.
