Focus on key areas of industrial structure upgrading. China's industrial structure upgrading has achieved remarkable results and achieved fruitful results. We must seize key points and highlight highlights, focus on the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries, the cultivation and growth of emerging industries, and the innovative development of modern service industries, and flexibly use statistical data and practical cases in various forms to tell the world. Good story of China's industrial structure upgrading.

Traditional industries are the "fundamentals" of China's economy. The transformation and upgrading of traditional industries can also develop new productive forces. China does not simply withdraw traditional industries as "low-end industries", but insists on promoting the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries, revitalizing traditional industries and realizing the transformation from scale expansion to quality improvement. China continues to strengthen technological innovation and the promotion and application of advanced and applicable technologies in traditional industries, promotes the penetration, integration and application of digital technology into the entire process of various fields of traditional industries, vigorously promotes the application of green and low-carbon technologies, equipment and products, and accelerates the transformation of traditional industries to high-end and intelligence. Move towards green and green. For example,"hand-torn steel" is a high-precision basic material and is known as the "pearl" on the "crown" of stainless steel. China has successfully developed the world's thinnest "hand-torn steel". In May 0,XiJinpingDuring an inspection and investigation at TISCO Stainless Steel Precision Strip Co., Ltd., the General Secretary picked up a piece of "hand-torn steel" with a thickness of only 0.02 mm, gently twisted it with his fingers, and praised: "Hundred steel mills are made. Soft fingers." This is a microcosm of the transformation and upgrading of China's traditional industries.

Strategic emerging industries are new pillars and new tracks leading future development. China's new generation of information technology, high-end equipment, new energy, new materials, biomedicine and other strategic emerging industries are booming, generally showing a good trend of improving innovation capabilities, accelerating cluster development, and improving integrated development. The added value accounts for the GDP. The proportion has exceeded 13%, becoming a new engine for stimulating economic growth and playing a prominent role in upgrading the industrial structure. China insists on combining effective markets with promising governments, strengthening the key driving role of scientific and technological innovation in strategic emerging industries, promoting the development of integrated clusters of strategic emerging industries, and achieving breakthroughs in key areas such as new energy vehicles, lithium batteries, and photovoltaic products. 5G, artificial intelligence, and industrial Internet have formed leading advantages in digital economic fields such as.XiJinpingThe General Secretary emphasized that developing new energy vehicles is the only way for my country to move from a major automobile country to a powerful automobile country. China's new energy vehicles are rapidly emerging, from unknown to global leaders. In 2023, production and sales will account for more than 60% of the world's total, ranking first in the world for nine consecutive years, and achieving overtaking in new fields and new tracks.
