"Seeking Truth" magazine commentator: Put the development of the service industry in a more prominent position.

An article by a commentator in the magazine "Seeking Truth" points out the importance of focusing on demand traction and tapping into the potential of the service industry. The essence of the service industry is to use services to meet needs, create value, and provide support and guarantee for enterprise production and resident living. Emphasizing demand traction is a necessary requirement for unleashing the potential of the service industry. Currently, consumer consumption in China is rapidly shifting from "having or not having" to "good or not good", with trends towards quality, personalization, and upscale consumption becoming increasingly strong. The potential demand for service consumption in areas such as tourism, culture, sports, health, elderly care, and education is enormous. At the same time, as the world's largest manufacturing country, although China has obvious advantages in the production and manufacturing sector, there is still a certain gap with the world's advanced level in research and development design, supply chain management, quality testing, brand marketing, and other areas. The future development space for productive service industries is vast. It is estimated that during the "13th Five-Year Plan" period, the scale of the service industry in China will exceed one trillion yuan, containing enormous development space and potential. It is necessary to adapt to changes in population structure, upgrades in consumption structure, and transformations in industrial structure trends, adhere to the dual focus on expanding capacity and improving quality, focus on key areas of production and life, promote the development of the service industry through layered and classified promotion, facilitate the high-quality, diversified, and convenient development of life service industries, promote the extension of productive service industries towards specialization and high-end value chains, and continuously cultivate new growth points in the service industry. It is important to promote basic demand services to be more widely available and of high quality, expand and upgrade supply of upgrade services, refine and specialize personalized services, accelerate the growth of technology services, vigorously develop advanced manufacturing services, and focus on improving the level of supporting professional services.
