Focusing on the Study of Theory and Policy of High-Quality Development

聚焦研究高质量发展的理论与政策

In his keynote report, Professor Cheng Enfu, Honorary President of the China Society of Political Economy and Member of the Academic Division of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, pointed out that the theory and policy of high-quality economic development should primarily study four aspects. First, the history of high-quality economic development: from extensive expanded reproduction to intensive expanded reproduction, from quantitative growth to intensive growth, especially since reform and opening up, there has been a continuous emphasis on transforming the economic development model, handling the relationships among speed, efficiency, structure, and quality, and achieving continuous improvement in industrial structure, economic efficiency, and development quality. Second, the theory of high-quality development: it is necessary to adhere to the theory of adapting Marxism to the Chinese context and the needs of the times, especially Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, as the guide to promote high-quality economic development. The neoliberal development approach should be discarded, and “three-controlled” national enterprises—those controlling holdings, technology, and brands—should be vigorously developed. The controlling power and influence of state-owned enterprises should be brought into play. Third, the policy of high-quality development: Marxist economists should organically combine Marxist academic research, theoretical propaganda, and policy discussion, conducting relatively independent academic research while maintaining consistency with the Party Central Committee, and offering wisdom and strategies for high-quality development. Fourth, the indicators of high-quality development: it is necessary to study which indicators can truly measure high-quality development, thereby testing the effectiveness of theories, policies, and proposals, and jointly promoting high-quality development.

中国政治经济学学会名誉会长、中国社会科学院学部委员程恩富教授在主题报告中指出，关于经济高质量发展的理论和政策应主要研究四个方面的内容：一是要研究经济高质量发展的历史。从外延式扩大再生产到内涵式扩大再生产，从数量型增长到集约型增长，尤其是改革开放以来，不断强调转变经济发展方式，要处理好速度、效益、结构和质量之间的关系，实现产业结构、经济效益和发展质量的不断提升。二是要研究高质量发展的理论。要坚持以马克思主义中国化时代化的理论，特别是习近平新时代中国特色社会主义经济思想为指导推动经济高质量发展。要摒弃新自由主义的发展思路，大力发展控股、控技、控牌的“三控型”民族企业。要发挥国有企业的控制力和影响力。三是要研究高质量发展的政策。马克思主义经济学者应当把马克思主义的学术研究、理论宣传和政策探讨三者有机结合起来，在坚持与党中央保持一致的前提下开展相对独立的学术研究，为高质量发展献智献策。四是要研究高质量发展的指标。要研究哪些指标能够真正衡量高质量的发展，从而检验理论、政策和建议有效性，共同推动高质量发展。

Professor Zou Jinwen, Vice President of Zhongnan University of Economics and Law, briefly introduced the university’s history and its successful experiences and outstanding achievements in discipline construction in his address. He stated that since the New Era, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core has creatively proposed that China’s economy has shifted from a stage of high-speed growth to a stage of high-quality development, theoretically revealing the profound logic of high-quality development. Currently, we are at a new journey and a new historical starting point for comprehensively building a modern socialist country. This forum, focusing on the theme “Theory and Policy of High-Quality Economic Development” and closely addressing major issues in China’s current economic development, hopes that participating scholars can inspire new research ideas, engage in in-depth exchanges and discussions, jointly provide theoretical support and policy recommendations for promoting high-quality development, and collectively contribute to the development of Chinese economics.

中南财经政法大学副校长邹进文教授在致辞中简要介绍了中南财经政法大学的办学历史以及学科建设方面的成功经验和优异成绩。他表示，新时代以来，以习近平同志为核心的党中央创造性提出我国经济已由高速增长阶段转向高质量发展阶段，从理论上揭示高质量发展的深刻逻辑。当前，我们处于全面建设社会主义现代化国家新的征程、新的历史起点上，此次论坛聚焦“经济高质量发展的理论与政策”这一主题，紧扣当前中国经济发展的重大议题，希望与会学者能够在此次盛会中激发新的研究思路，深入交流探讨，共同为推动经济高质量发展提供理论支持和政策建议，共同为中国经济学的发展贡献力量。

Hou Weimin, President of the China Society of Political Economy and Director of the Research Center for Marxist Economic and Social Development at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, stated that China’s economy shifting from high-speed growth to high-quality development marks a new period in China’s socialist economic construction and indicates that in the coming years or even decades, Chinese-path modernization will bring new, unprecedented historical changes to the Chinese people. He proposed that exploring China’s high-quality economic development should seek four consensuses: high-quality economic development is a dialectical unity of “quality” and “quantity”; high-quality economic development is a unity of rapidly developing productive forces and further improving relations of production; high-quality economic development is holistic development, a unity at the macro, meso, and micro levels; and high-quality economic development is a unity of economic development and economic security. Facing the theoretical difficulties of high-quality development, on the one hand, scientific theoretical nourishment should be drawn from the Marxist intellectual treasury; on the other hand, attention should be paid to extracting rich material from the vivid practice of Chinese-path modernization for theoretical innovation.

中国政治经济学学会会长、中国社会科学院马克思主义经济社会发展研究中心主任侯为民研究员表示，中国经济从高速增长转向高质量发展，标志着中国社会主义经济建设进入了新的发展时期，标志着未来数年以至数十年，中国式现代化即将给中国人民带来新的、史无前例的历史巨变。他提出，探讨中国经济的高质量发展，应寻求四个共识：经济高质量发展是“质”与“量”的辩证统一，经济高质量发展是快速发展生产力和进一步完善生产关系的统一，经济高质量发展是整体性的发展，是宏观、中观和微观层面的统一，经济高质量发展是经济发展与经济安全的统一。面对经济高质量发展的理论难点，一方面要从马克思主义思想库中汲取科学的理论营养，另一方面要注意从中国式现代化的生动实践中提炼丰富素材，进行理论创新。

Conducting All-Round and Multi-Level Academic Exchanges

全方位多层次开展学术交流

Renowned experts and scholars engaged in full exchanges on topics including the theory and policy of China’s high-quality development, the relationship between new quality productive forces and high-quality development, high-quality development and rural revitalization, high-quality development and high-level opening up and national economic security, mathematical political economy analysis of high-quality development, and other issues in Marxist political economy theory and application, stimulating theoretical thought and enlightening academic wisdom.

知名专家学者聚焦中国高质量发展的理论与政策、新质生产力与高质量发展的关系、高质量发展与乡村振兴、高质量发展与高水平开放和国家经济安全、高质量发展的数理政治经济学分析，以及其他马克思主义政治经济学理论与应用问题等内容，展开充分交流，激发理论思想，启迪学术智慧。

Wang Zhongbao, Vice President and Secretary-General of the China Society of Political Economy and Researcher at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, from the theoretical perspective of political economy, proposed that the most important aspect of high-quality development at various levels and in different areas is the high-quality development of the production and reproduction of labor power. High-quality economic development requires shifting from focusing on expanding the quantity of products that meet people’s needs to focusing on improving product quality under constant scale. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the value of labor power to drive up product quality and added value, to promote China’s move from the middle and low end to the middle and high end of the global value chain in the international division of labor, and to promote the high-quality development of private enterprises that provide over 80% of urban employment, thereby enabling them to offer sufficiently decent jobs and high-quality employment that allow for the expanded reproduction of labor power.

中国政治经济学学会副会长兼秘书长、中国社会科学院王中保研究员从政治经济学的理论视角提出，各个层次、不同方面的高质量发展中最重要的是劳动力的生产与再生产的高质量发展，经济高质量发展要求从注重推动满足人民需要的产品数量的扩张转向注重实现规模不变的情况下的产品质量的提高，因此要通过提高劳动力的价值来推动产品质量和附加值的增加，要推动我国在国际分工中从全球价值链的中低端走向中高端，要推动解决80%以上城镇就业的民营企业的高质量发展，从而能够提供让劳动力扩大再生产的足够体面的工作、高质量的就业。

Participating scholars believed that high-quality economic development means fully, accurately, and comprehensively implementing the new development philosophy, using innovation as the driving force to develop new quality productive forces, vigorously developing emerging high-tech industries, while simultaneously promoting traditional industries toward networking, digitalization, and intelligence. It is necessary to advocate green production methods, green lifestyles, and green consumption patterns, and accelerate the green transformation of the development model. Rural revitalization should be comprehensively promoted to achieve coordinated urban-rural development. Regional coordinated development strategies, major regional strategies, main functional area strategies, and new-type urbanization strategies should be deeply implemented to promote coordinated development among the eastern, central, and western regions. High-level opening up should be used to promote the optimization of China’s industrial structure and the upgrading of the value chain, forming a new development pattern. The public sector of the economy must be unswervingly consolidated and developed, and the non-public sector must be unswervingly encouraged, supported, and guided, maintaining the dominant position, leading role, and developmental vitality of the public sector in the competition and cooperation between public and private sectors, laying a solid foundation for achieving shared development for all the people.

与会学者认为，经济高质量的发展，就是要完整、准确、全面贯彻新发展理念，以创新为驱动力来发展新质生产力，大力发展新兴高新产业，同时推动传统产业走向网络化、数字化、智能化。要倡导绿色生产方式、绿色生活方式、绿色消费方式，加快发展方式的绿色转型。要全面推进乡村振兴实现城乡协调发展。要深入实施区域协调发展战略、区域重大战略、主体功能区战略、新型城镇化战略，推动东部中部西部协调发展。要以高水平开放推动我国产业结构优化和价值链的跃升，形成新发展格局。要毫不动摇巩固和发展公有制经济，毫不动摇鼓励、支持、引导非公有制经济发展，在公私竞合中始终保持公有制经济的主体地位、主导作用和发展活力，为实现全体人民共享发展打下坚实基础。
