On January 31, 2024, during the 11th collective study session of the CCP Central Committee's Political Bureau, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized the need to accelerate the development of new quality productivity and solidly promote high-quality development. He pointed out that "technological innovation can give birth to new industries, new models, and new dynamics, and is the core element of developing new quality productivity." From the initial mention of "new quality productivity" in September last year to the deployment at the Central Economic Work Conference and then to the systematic explanation during this collective study session, General Secretary Xi Jinping's series of important statements and major deployments on new quality productivity represent an innovation and development of Marxist productivity theory. This further enriches the connotation of Xi Jinping's economic thought and provides scientific guidance for promoting high-quality development on the new journey of building a powerful country and national rejuvenation. As a significant innovation in contemporary Marxist theory, where exactly is the "new" in new quality productivity? How to promote it effectively? We must deeply understand and grasp the connotation and characteristics of new quality productivity to accelerate its formation.
A new era fosters new thoughts, and new theories lead to new practices. "Sichuan Daily" invited Yin Ximing, a scholar of technological innovation management theory and policy, to write a theoretical article titled "Technological Innovation is the Core Element of Developing New Quality Productivity," published in the theory section of "Sichuan Daily" on February 19, 2024. The article reached the top five in readership on Sichuan News that day, with a readership of 400,000, and was reposted by over a hundred media platforms such as Guangming Daily, China.com, China Work Network, China Youth Network, Tencent News, Phoenix News client, Overseas Network, and Technology China, achieving a total network dissemination of over 1 million and having a broad impact. On February 23, the "Learning Power" platform managed by the Central Propaganda Department fully reposted the article and included it in the "Research on Xi Jinping's Economic Thought" theme collection.
