Jin Zhuanglong, Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology： Strengthening top-level planning to promote China’s traditional industries to move towards the middle and high end

CCTV News:At 9: 00 am on March 5, the first meeting of the 14th National People’s Congress was held in the Great Hall of the People. After the opening ceremony, a "ministerial channel" interview was held, and some responsible persons of relevant ministries and commissions in the State Council were invited to attend the meeting.

Reporter of Central Radio and Television General Station:The Central Economic Work Conference proposed to enhance the position and competitiveness of traditional industries in the global industrial division of labor. May I ask Minister Jin, what measures has the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology taken to upgrade and transform traditional industries?

Minister of Industry and Information Technology Jin Zhuanglong:China’s traditional industries are large, accounting for more than 80% of the manufacturing industry. Traditional industry is the base of modern industrial system, and the transformation and upgrading of traditional industry is directly related to the overall construction of modern industrial system. We are conscientiously implementing the spirit of the Central Economic Work Conference, strengthening top-level planning, and studying and formulating guiding opinions for accelerating the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries. The general direction is to focus on high-end, intelligent and green, so that China’s traditional industries will move from low-end to high-end.

The next step focuses on the following three aspects. In terms of high-end, we should pay attention to basic support and high-end equipment guidance, that is to say, we should focus on implementing two major projects. The first is the industrial base reengineering project, which was deployed by the Central Economic Work Conference. We have to break through a number of basic components, basic parts, basic software, basic materials and basic processes. The second is to implement major technical and equipment research projects, and to break through a number of landmark key products in key areas such as large aircraft, industrial machinery, deep-sea equipment, medical equipment and agricultural machinery and equipment. In terms of intelligence, we have a top-level plan to implement the "14 th Five-Year Plan" for intelligent manufacturing development. Focus on key manufacturing industries, take intelligent manufacturing as the main direction, build a number of smart factories and a number of smart supply chains. In terms of greening, it is generally "1+4", and "1" is the general plan, the peak carbon dioxide emissions plan in the industrial field; "4" refers to four industries, iron and steel, nonferrous metals, building materials, petrochemical and chemical industries, all of which have formulated the peak carbon dioxide emissions Plan. Through the top-level design, we have defined the objectives, tasks, ways and measures of industrial peak carbon dioxide emissions, and the next step is to implement them one by one.

Here are several measures: First, implement major projects and projects of energy conservation and carbon reduction, and build a number of green factories, green parks and green supply chains. At the same time, it is necessary to promote the application of energy-saving and carbon-reducing technologies and expand the green environmental protection industry. In addition, it is necessary to improve the comprehensive utilization level of resources, such as the comprehensive utilization level of new energy vehicle power batteries and scrap steel and waste paper, which everyone cares about.
