The Theoretical Significance of Accelerating the Development of New Quality Productive Forces

Since the 18th National Congress of the CPC, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core has taken adhering to high-quality development as the hard truth of the New Era, consistently and unswervingly liberating and developing social productive forces, making a series of major decisions and deployments, and pushing our country's economy onto a development path that is higher quality, more efficient, more equitable, more sustainable, and more secure. The level of productive forces has achieved a great leap and a breakthrough development, forming a new qualitative state of productive forces development. Comrade Xi Jinping's series of important expositions on developing new quality productive forces profoundly answer the major theoretical and practical questions of "what are new quality productive forces, why develop new quality productive forces, and how to develop new quality productive forces," point out the important focal points for promoting high-quality development, and embody a profound grasp of the laws of productive forces development and the prominent problems facing our country's development. They represent a deepening of understanding and a profound summary of the laws of our country's economic construction and possess important theoretical significance.

党的十八大以来，以习近平同志为核心的党中央把坚持高质量发展作为新时代的硬道理，一以贯之不断解放和发展社会生产力，作出一系列重大决策部署，推动我国经济迈上更高质量、更有效率、更加公平、更可持续、更为安全的发展之路，生产力水平实现了巨大提升、突破性发展，形成了生产力发展的新质态。习近平总书记关于发展新质生产力的一系列重要论述，深刻回答了“什么是新质生产力、为什么要发展新质生产力、怎样发展新质生产力”的重大理论和实践问题，指明了推动高质量发展的重要着力点，体现了对生产力发展规律和我国发展面临的突出问题的深刻把握，是对我国经济建设规律的认识深化和深刻总结，具有重要的理论意义。

I. Accelerating the Development of New Quality Productive Forces Embodies the Innovation and Development of the Marxist Theory of Productive Forces

一、加快发展新质生产力体现马克思主义生产力理论的创新和发展

The theory of productive forces is the basic theory of Marxist political economy. Productive forces are the production capacity of human beings in their practical activities of transforming nature. Productive forces are jointly determined by many factors, including: the average degree of skill of the workers, the level of development of science and its degree of application in technology, the social combination of the production process, the scale and efficacy of the means of production, and natural conditions. It can be seen that productive forces are a complex systemic concept, whose basic elements are the laborers, the means of labor, and the objects of labor. In addition, elements such as nature, management, and science and technology also play an important role in production. In *Capital*, Marx also regarded cooperation as an element of productive forces: "The special productive power of the combined working day is the social productive power of labor, or the productive power of social labor. This productive power arises from cooperation itself." [1]1 Karl Marx, *Capital*, Volume 1, Chapter 13, "Cooperation." Marx also regarded natural forces as elements of the development of productive forces, believing that large-scale industry incorporates enormous natural forces and natural science into the production process, such as using water power and wind power to generate electricity, and utilizing solar energy.

生产力理论是马克思主义政治经济学的基本理论。生产力是人类改造自然时从事实践活动的生产能力。生产力是由很多因素共同决定的，其中包括：工人的平均熟练程度，科学的发展水平和它在工艺上应用的程度，生产过程的社会结合，生产资料的规模和效能，以及自然条件。可以看到，生产力是一个复杂的系统性概念，基本要素是劳动者、劳动资料和劳动对象。另外，自然、管理、科技等要素在生产中也起到了重要的作用。在《资本论》中，马克思还把协作作为生产力的要素，“结合工作日的特殊生产力都是社会的劳动生产力或社会劳动的生产力。这种生产力是由协作本身产生的”。 马克思把自然力也作为生产力发展的要素，认为大工业把巨大的自然力和自然科学并入生产过程，如利用水力、风力发电，利用太阳能等。

Marx placed particular emphasis on science and technology and their application, considering science and technology to be an important component of productive forces. He stressed that productive forces also include science. In Marx's view, productive forces exist not only in material form but also in the form of knowledge; natural science is a general social productive force characterized by the form of knowledge. Science and technology can also directly participate in the production process and become direct productive forces, mainly by being transformed into the labor skills of workers and materialized into tools of labor and objects of labor. As Marx stated, the development of fixed capital indicates the extent to which general social knowledge has become a direct productive force. [2]2 Karl Marx, *Grundrisse*, "The Fragment on Machines." Marx revealed the enormous changes that science and technology bring to people's mode of production and way of life. Marx pointed out that natural science and modern science and technology are increasingly entering human life in practice through industry, transforming human life, and that labor productivity is continuously developing with the constant progress of science and technology. For this reason, Engels emphasized that, in Marx's view, science is a revolutionary force that plays a driving role in history.

马克思尤其重视科学技术及其运用，认为科学技术属于生产力的重要组成部分，他强调生产力中也包括科学。在马克思看来，生产力不仅以物质形态存在，而且以知识形态存在，自然科学就是以知识形态为特征的一般社会生产力。科学技术也可以直接参与生产过程，成为直接的生产力，主要通过转化为劳动者的劳动技能，物化为劳动工具和劳动对象的方式实现。正如马克思所说，固定资本的发展表明，一般社会知识，已经在多么大的程度上变成了直接的生产力。马克思揭示了科学技术对人们的生产和生活方式带来的巨大改变。马克思指出，自然科学和现代科技正通过工业日益在实践上进入人的生活，改造人的生活，并且，劳动生产力是随着科学和技术的不断进步而不断发展的。为此，恩格斯强调，在马克思看来，科学是一种在历史上起推动作用的、革命的力量。

Productive forces are not static but are developing and changing. The development of productive forces is the material foundation of social and historical development and the decisive force in the development of human society. The sum total of the productive forces that people have attained determines the state of society. Relations of production must adapt to the state of development of the productive forces. When relations of production are incompatible with the development of the productive forces, contradictions arise, which will hinder the development of the productive forces. Therefore, the contradictory movement between the productive forces and the relations of production constitutes the fundamental driving force of the development of social formations.

生产力不是静态的，而是发展和变化的，生产力的发展是社会历史发展的物质基础，是人类社会发展的决定性力量。人们所达到的生产力的总和决定着社会状况。生产关系必须适应生产力发展的状态，当生产关系与生产力发展不相适应时，就会出现矛盾，就会阻碍生产力发展。因此，生产力与生产关系的矛盾运动构成了社会形态发展的根本动力。

New quality productive forces theoretically inherit and develop Marx's theory of productive forces. They are the product of combining the Marxist theory of productive forces with the reality of our country's productive forces development in the New Era, and represent the Sinicization and modernization of the Marxist theory of productive forces. [3]3 "Sinicization and modernization" renders the Chinese term 中国化时代化, which refers to the process of adapting Marxism to China's specific conditions and contemporary era.

新质生产力在理论上继承和发展了马克思生产力理论，是马克思主义生产力理论同新时代我国生产力发展实际相结合的产物，是马克思主义生产力理论的中国化时代化。

The emergence of new quality productive forces conforms to the law of the movement of productive forces and relations of production. Against the backdrop of a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, traditional productive forces are unable to break through technological constraints to continue providing new momentum for economic development. However, as our country continuously achieves disruptive technological breakthroughs in fields such as big data, artificial intelligence, 5G communications, quantum technology, and biotechnology, new quality productive forces have emerged as the times require. The formation of new quality productive forces inevitably requires the adaptation of new relations of production, promoting institutional and mechanism reforms centered on innovation-driven development, so that relations of production better adapt to the development of new quality productive forces. The continuous maturation of our country's basic socialist economic system, the continuous improvement of the reform of the socialist market economy system, and especially the new system of nationwide mobilization [4]4 "New system of nationwide mobilization" renders 新型举国体制, a mechanism for concentrating national resources to achieve strategic technological breakthroughs, updated from the earlier planned-economy model. and the new science and technology system, provide a strong guarantee for the development of new quality productive forces.

新质生产力的产生符合生产力与生产关系运动规律。在新一轮科技革命和产业变革的时代背景下，传统生产力无法突破技术制约继续提供经济发展的新动能，而随着我国在大数据、人工智能、5G通信、量子科技、生物技术等领域不断取得颠覆性技术突破，新质生产力应运而生。新质生产力的形成必然要求新的生产关系相适应，围绕创新驱动推进体制机制变革，使生产关系更好地适应新质生产力的发展。我国社会主义基本经济制度的不断成熟、社会主义市场经济体制改革的不断完善，特别是新型举国体制和新的科技体制，为新质生产力的发展提供了有力保障。

The theory of new quality productive forces inherits and develops Marx's view that "productive forces also include science," placing greater emphasis on leading with scientific and technological innovation and highlighting the core role of new types of production factors such as technology, information, and data in promoting the development of social productive forces. Scientific and technological innovation, as a permeating factor, is the endogenous driving force of new quality productive forces and must be integrated into every link of production, combining with other production factors. The integration of science and technology with traditional production factors can further enhance the technical level of laborers, enrich the content of the means of labor, and expand the scope of the objects of labor, which is conducive to the further development of social productive forces.

新质生产力理论继承和发展了马克思“生产力中也包括科学”的观点，更加强调科技创新为引领，突出技术、信息、数据等新型生产要素在推动社会生产力发展中的核心作用。科技创新作为一种渗透性要素，是新质生产力的内生动力，必须融入生产的每一个环节，与其他生产要素结合起来。科技与传统生产要素的融合可以进一步提升劳动者的技术水平、丰富劳动资料的内容、扩大劳动对象的范围，有利于社会生产力进一步发展。

The theory of new quality productive forces inherits and develops Marx's thought on the relationship between humans and nature, emphasizing that new quality productive forces are themselves green productive forces. It is necessary to firmly establish and practice the concept that lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets, [5]5 "Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets" is a standard translation of 绿水青山就是金山银山, a slogan associated with Xi Jinping emphasizing the economic value of environmental protection. and unswervingly follow the path of prioritizing ecology and green development.

新质生产力理论继承和发展了马克思关于人与自然关系的思想，强调新质生产力本身就是绿色生产力，必须牢固树立和践行绿水青山就是金山银山理念，坚定不移走生态优先、绿色发展之路。

The theory of new quality productive forces inherits and develops Marx's view on production factors and their organic combination, emphasizing that new quality productive forces take the leap in laborers, means of labor, objects of labor, and their optimized combination as their basic connotation. Developing new quality productive forces requires continuously improving the quality of laborers, widely adopting digital and intelligent production tools, and continuously expanding the scope of use of new energy sources and new materials. At the same time, through the optimized integration of various factor resources, new industries, new business forms, and new models are spawned, promoting an overall leap in the level of productive forces.

新质生产力理论继承和发展了马克思关于生产要素及其有机结合的观点，强调新质生产力以劳动者、劳动资料、劳动对象及其优化组合的跃升为基本内涵。发展新质生产力必须不断提高劳动者素质，广泛采用数字化智能化的生产工具，不断扩大新能源和新材料的使用范围。同时，通过对各种要素资源的优化整合，催生新产业、新业态、新模式，推动生产力水平的整体跃升。

II. Accelerating the Development of New Quality Productive Forces Points Out a New Direction for the Development of Productive Forces

二、加快发展新质生产力指明生产力发展的新方向

The historical process of the modernization of human society is a history of the development of productive forces. With the development of the economy and society, new productive forces will continuously replace old productive forces, becoming the main driving force for economic and social progress. Each leap in new productive forces is based on and conditioned by the development of traditional productive forces to a certain level, and over time, actual productive forces will eventually be replaced by even newer productive forces in the future. This is a continuously iterative process. From the modernization process of Western countries, it can be seen that the level of economic and social development is a prominent marker of a country's entry into modernization, and the fundamental driving force of economic and social development is the development of productive forces. In the 18th century, the improvement and widespread use of the steam engine replaced manual labor with machine production, pushing human society to gradually transform from an agricultural society to an industrial society. In the 1940s and 1950s, the invention and application of the electronic computer realized the automation of production, leading human society from an industrial society into an information society. As modern, advanced productive forces continuously replace past traditional, backward productive forces, human society has continuously moved towards modernization.

人类社会现代化的历史进程，就是一部生产力发展的历史。随着经济社会的发展，新的生产力会不断取代旧的生产力，成为推动经济社会进步的主要动力。每一次新的生产力的跃升，都以传统生产力发展到一定水平为基础和条件，并且随着时间的推移，现实生产力终将被未来更新的生产力所替代，这是一个持续不断迭代的过程。从西方国家的现代化进程中可以看到，经济社会发展水平是各国迈入现代化的突出标志，而经济社会发展的根本动因是生产力的发展。18世纪蒸汽机的改良和广泛运用使机器生产代替手工劳动，推动人类社会逐渐从农业社会向工业社会转型；20世纪四五十年代电子计算机的发明和应用实现了生产的自动化，引领人类社会从工业社会迈入信息社会。随着现代的、先进的生产力不断替代过去传统的、落后的生产力，人类社会不断走向了现代化。

Innovation in science and technology is the key to the development of social productive forces. Every major leap in productive forces has been preceded by a series of groundbreaking scientific discoveries and technological breakthroughs. Each industrial revolution began with major scientific and technological innovations, with new science and technology improving traditional tools of production, forming new modes of production, and causing a qualitative change in productive forces. Industrial revolutions always accompany scientific and technological revolutions; the widespread application of new technologies raises the overall level of social productive forces. The First Industrial Revolution was marked by the invention of the spinning jenny and the widespread use of the steam engine, with mechanical power completely replacing biological power, and machine-based mass production greatly improving production efficiency. The Second Industrial Revolution was marked by the invention and use of electricity and the large-scale application of the internal combustion engine, with large-scale concentrated production raising the level of social productive forces to a new stage. The Third Industrial Revolution was marked by the invention and application of electronic computers, atomic energy, and biotechnology, with the information technology revolution promoting the formation of more advanced productive forces. New quality productive forces are productive forces generated by taking scientific and technological innovation as the leading factor and achieving breakthroughs in key and disruptive technologies. Without key breakthroughs in scientific and technological development, there would be no new quality productive forces; advanced science and technology are the internal driving force for the generation of new quality productive forces.

科学技术的创新是社会生产力发展的关键，每一次生产力的巨大跃升都以一系列开创性的科学发现和技术突破为先导。每一次工业革命都是由重大科技创新为起点，新的科学技术对传统生产工具进行改良，形成新的生产方式，导致生产力发生质变。产业革命总是伴随科技革命出现，新技术的广泛运用推动了社会整体生产力水平的提升。第一次工业革命以“珍妮纺纱机”的发明和蒸汽机的广泛使用为标志，机械力全面取代生物力，机器大生产推动生产效率极大提升；第二次工业革命以电力的发明和使用、内燃机的大范围应用为标志，大规模集中的生产使社会生产力水平跃上新的台阶；第三次工业革命以电子计算机、原子能、生物科技的发明和应用为标志，信息技术革命推动形成了更先进的生产力。新质生产力是以科技创新为主导、实现关键性颠覆性技术突破而产生的生产力。没有科技发展的关键性突破，就没有新质生产力，先进科技是新质生产力生成的内在动力。

The key to new quality productive forces lies in the "new" and the "quality." The so-called "new" refers to productive forces whose main connotation is new technologies, new economy, and new business forms, differing from traditional productive forces in the general sense. The so-called "quality" emphasizes taking innovation-driven development as the key element of productive forces, and taking self-reliant and self-strengthening breakthroughs in key and disruptive technologies as the leading factor for a leap in productive forces. Therefore, new quality productive forces are productive forces in which scientific and technological innovation plays a leading role, characterized by high technology, high efficiency, and high quality. They are distinct from the mode of productive forces development that relies on large amounts of resource input and excessive consumption of resources and energy. They are advanced productive forces that break away from traditional growth paths and meet the requirements of high-quality development, and are productive forces in the digital era that are more integrated and better embody new connotations.

新质生产力的关键是“新”与“质”。所谓“新”，是指不同于一般意义上的传统生产力，以新技术、新经济、新业态为主要内涵的生产力。所谓“质”，是强调把创新驱动作为生产力的关键要素，以实现自立自强的关键性颠覆性技术突破为龙头的生产力跃升。因此，新质生产力是科技创新在其中发挥主导作用的生产力，高科技、高效能、高质量，区别于依靠大量资源投入、过度消耗资源能源的生产力发展方式，是摆脱了传统增长路径、符合高质量发展要求的先进生产力，是数字时代更具融合性、更体现新内涵的生产力。

In today's world, a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation is deepening, and the globe has entered an era of intensive innovation. Whichever country first achieves breakthroughs in key and disruptive technologies and forms new quality productive forces will be able to shape new advantages for future development and win the strategic initiative in the new round of global development. The lessons of history and the trends of reality both remind us that on the new journey of building a strong country and realizing national rejuvenation, we must unswervingly promote high-quality development, enhance our capacity for independent innovation, and form new quality productive forces as soon as possible. Only in this way can we truly grasp the initiative in development amid fierce international competition. In recent years, China's economic development has faced a complex internal and external environment. Whether it is boosting confidence and promoting economic recovery and improvement at present, or winning strategic initiative in future development and international competition, the key lies in scientific and technological innovation, and the focus is on breakthroughs in key and disruptive technologies. In July 2023, during his inspection in Jiangsu, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized the need to strengthen the connection between scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation, deepen the integration of industry, academia, and research with enterprises as the leading force, improve the rate of transformation and industrialization of scientific and technological achievements, and continuously cultivate new industries and lead industrial upgrading with new technologies. In March 2024, during his inspection in Hunan, General Secretary Xi Jinping again emphasized the need to lead industrial innovation with scientific and technological innovation, and actively cultivate and develop new quality productive forces. It can be said that the proposal of new quality productive forces reflects the confidence and determination to promote industrial innovation through scientific and technological innovation, to build new competitive advantages through industrial upgrading, and to win the initiative in development.

当今世界，新一轮科技革命和产业变革深入发展，全球进入一个创新密集时代。哪个国家率先在关键性颠覆性技术方面取得突破，形成新质生产力，哪个国家就能够塑造未来发展新优势，赢得全球新一轮发展的战略主动权。历史的教训、现实的趋势都启示我们，在强国建设、民族复兴新征程上，我们必须坚定不移推动高质量发展，提高自主创新能力，尽快形成新质生产力，如此才能在激烈的国际竞争中真正掌握发展主动权。近年来，我国经济发展面临复杂的内外部环境，无论是当前提振信心、推动经济回升向好，还是在未来发展和国际竞争中赢得战略主动，关键都在科技创新，重点在关键性颠覆性技术的突破。2023年7月，习近平总书记在江苏考察时强调，要加强科技创新和产业创新对接，加强以企业为主导的产学研深度融合，提高科技成果转化和产业化水平，不断以新技术培育新产业、引领产业升级。2024年3月，习近平总书记在湖南考察时再次强调，要以科技创新引领产业创新，积极培育和发展新质生产力。可以说，新质生产力的提出，体现了以科技创新推动产业创新，以产业升级构筑新竞争优势、赢得发展主动权的信心和决心。

The 20th National Congress of the CPC [6]6 The 20th National Congress of the CPC: The 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, held in October 2022, which set out the Party's guiding principles and strategic plans for the next five years and beyond. clearly stated that China has entered the ranks of innovative countries. Now, China's frontier, foundational, and original technological innovations and their capabilities have been greatly improved. However, some developed countries, relying on their own technological monopolies, constantly create various conflicts and decoupling, attempting to slow down China's development in the new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation through unfair means. It can be said that major challenges such as the new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, intensified competition among major powers, and the transformation of China's economic development mode are converging historically at the present time, which also creates important strategic opportunities for us. We must promote industrial innovation through scientific and technological innovation, build new competitive advantages through industrial upgrading, accelerate the formation of new quality productive forces, seize the commanding heights of development, win the initiative in development, and accelerate the achievement of high-level scientific and technological self-reliance and self-strengthening. Science and technology, by being applied to the production process and permeating many elements of productive forces, are transformed into actual production capacity, which will promote and cause profound changes and great development in productive forces. As General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: "In the fierce international competition, to open up new fields and new tracks for development, and to shape new drivers and new advantages for development, fundamentally, we still have to rely on scientific and technological innovation."

党的二十大明确指出，我国已进入创新型国家行列。现在，我国的前沿性、基础性、原创性技术创新及其能力已经有了很大提高。但一些发达国家借助自身的技术垄断，不断制造各种冲突和脱钩，企图以不公平的手段拖慢我国在新一轮科技革命和产业变革中的发展。可以说，新一轮科技革命和产业变革、大国竞争加剧以及我国经济发展方式转型等重大挑战在当下形成历史性交汇，这也为我们创造了重要的战略机遇。我们必须以科技创新推动产业创新，以产业升级构筑竞争新优势，加快形成新质生产力，抢占发展制高点，赢得发展主动权，加快实现高水平科技自立自强。科学技术通过应用于生产过程、渗透在生产力诸多要素中而转化为实际生产能力，将促进并引起生产力的深刻变革和巨大发展。正如习近平总书记所强调：“在激烈的国际竞争中，我们要开辟发展新领域新赛道、塑造发展新动能新优势，从根本上说，还是要依靠科技创新。”

III. Accelerating the Development of New Quality Productive Forces Highlights the World Significance of Chinese Discourse and Chinese Theory

三、加快发展新质生产力彰显中国话语和中国理论的世界意义

The fundamental task of socialism is to liberate and develop social productive forces. The superiority of socialism over capitalism is manifested in its ability to develop productive forces faster and better. Since the founding of New China, our Party has led the people to complete the industrialization process that took developed countries several hundred years in just a few decades, promoting China's development into the world's second-largest economy and creating a miracle of rapid economic development rarely seen in the world. An extremely important point is that we have always adhered to combining the Marxist theory of productive forces with China's actual conditions and the requirements of the times, continuously deepened our understanding of the laws governing the development of productive forces, attached great importance to and always persisted in continuously developing productive forces, and constantly enhanced the comprehensive national strength of the socialist country.

社会主义的根本任务是解放和发展社会生产力，社会主义相对于资本主义的优越性就体现在能够更快、更好地发展生产力。新中国成立以来，我们党领导人民仅用几十年的时间走完发达国家几百年走过的工业化历程，推动我国发展成为世界第二大经济体，创造了世所罕见的经济快速发展奇迹，极其重要的一点就是始终坚持将马克思主义生产力理论与中国实际情况和时代发展要求相结合，不断深化对生产力发展规律的认识，高度重视和始终坚持不断发展生产力，不断增强社会主义国家的综合国力。

On the new journey of building a strong country and realizing national rejuvenation, we must base ourselves on China's practice, comprehensively summarize the experience of China's economic development, strive to reveal the regular understanding contained in the great achievements of China's economic development, and deeply explain how to better adhere to the Chinese path, promote the Chinese spirit, and consolidate the strength of the Chinese nation from the combined perspective of history and reality, theory and practice. All of this, in the final analysis, is to construct an independent knowledge system of China. Now, new quality productive forces have already taken shape in practice and demonstrated a strong driving and supporting force for high-quality development. We need to summarize and generalize them theoretically to guide new development practices. Accelerating the formation and development of new quality productive forces means taking China as the reference and the times as the reference, basing ourselves on China's actual conditions, and explaining from the perspective of Chinese discourse and Chinese theory how China achieves a great leap from a large country to a strong country, from getting rich to becoming strong, through a leap in the development of productive forces.

在强国建设、民族复兴新征程上，我们要立足中国实践，全面总结中国经济发展经验，努力揭示中国经济发展伟大成就背后所蕴含的规律性认识，从历史和现实、理论和实践相结合的角度深入阐释如何更好坚持中国道路、弘扬中国精神、凝聚中国力量。而这一切，归根结底就是建构中国自主知识体系。现在，新质生产力已经在实践中形成并展示出对高质量发展的强劲推动力、支撑力，需要我们从理论上进行总结、概括，用以指导新的发展实践。加快形成和发展新质生产力就是以中国为观照、以时代为观照，立足中国实际，从中国话语和中国理论视角阐释中国如何通过生产力发展的飞跃，实现从大国到强国、从富起来到强起来的伟大飞跃。

The proposal of new quality productive forces provides a good demonstration for us to promote and construct Chinese discourse and Chinese theory. This theory combines the Marxist theory of productive forces with the reality of contemporary China's economic development, profoundly summarizes the practical experience of China's productive forces development, grasps the objective laws of world productive forces development, and carries out theoretical summarization and theoretical innovation based on reality. It not only provides theoretical guidance for advancing Chinese-path modernization but also has great world significance. Advancing Chinese-path modernization, the most fundamental thing is to achieve the modernization of productive forces. Accelerating the formation and development of new quality productive forces will not only contribute to China's development but also inject more and stronger impetus into the recovery and growth of the world economy, set a model for developing countries to achieve modernization, and make the theory of new quality productive forces a Chinese theory leading world development. We have completed the development process that took developed countries several hundred years in just a few decades. China's economic development process is magnificent and its achievements are world-renowned, containing huge momentum, vitality, and potential for theoretical creation. We must be good at refining and elevating theory from China's rich practice, accelerate the construction of philosophy and social sciences with Chinese characteristics, and promote the innovative development of Marxist theory.

新质生产力的提出，为我们推进和构建中国话语和中国理论提供很好的示范。这一理论把马克思主义生产力理论与当代中国经济发展的实际相结合，深刻总结我国生产力发展的实践经验，把握世界生产力发展的客观规律，从实际出发进行理论总结、理论创新，不仅为推进中国式现代化提供了理论指导，而且具有重大世界意义。推进中国式现代化，最根本的是要实现生产力的现代化。加快形成和发展新质生产力，不仅有助于中国发展，也将为世界经济复苏和增长注入更多更强动力，为发展中国家实现现代化树立典范，使新质生产力理论成为引领世界发展的中国理论。我们用几十年的时间走完了发达国家几百年走过的发展历程，我国经济发展进程波澜壮阔、成就举世瞩目，蕴藏着理论创造的巨大动力、活力、潜力，要善于从我国丰富实践中提炼和升华理论，加快构建中国特色哲学社会科学，推动马克思主义理论的创新发展。
