The "Proposal of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on Formulating the 15th Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development", which was deliberated and adopted by the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee, has made a top-level design and strategic plan for China's development in the next five years.
How can state-owned central enterprises implement the key tasks proposed in the "Suggestion", such as "strengthening original innovation and key core technology research and development", "consolidating and expanding the foundation of the real economy", and "deepening state-owned assets and state-owned enterprise reform"? Journalists interviewed Zhang Yu Zhu, Secretary of the Party Working Committee and Director of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council.
Four aspects to strengthen state-owned central enterprises' independent innovation and original innovation.
Q: The Proposal puts forward the need to accelerate high-level self-reliance and self-improvement in science and technology. What significant measures will state-owned assets and central enterprises take during the "15th Five-Year Plan" period to fully enhance their independent innovation capabilities and seize the high ground in the development of science and technology?
A: Central enterprises are the national team in scientific and technological innovation and an important part of the national strategic scientific and technological forces. In recent years, state-owned central enterprises have taken scientific and technological innovation as their "top priority", fully played the advantages of the new national system, and the R&D investment has exceeded 1 trillion yuan for three consecutive years. A number of key core technologies that are "bottleneck" have been conquered, such as industrial mother machines, industrial software, and basic materials. A number of "big country heavy machines" that have attracted worldwide attention, such as Chang'e-6 and the "Fighting Player", have been created.
Looking ahead to the "15th Five-Year Plan" period, we will focus on addressing major scientific and technological issues that affect China's development, security, and long-term interests, significantly strengthen independent innovation and original innovation, and provide a solid support for achieving a high level of self-reliance in science and technology and building a strong science and technology country.
First, we will strive to increase the supply of high-quality science and technology. State-owned central enterprises will actively undertake major national science and technology tasks, strive to achieve greater breakthroughs in the fields and links that are restricted and "choking" the neck, especially in fields that require large investment and long cycle, and where other enterprises lack the willingness or ability. We will not make excuses to take on the responsibility of providing "root technologies" and key enabling technologies, and produce more original and leading results, to solve problems at the source and at the bottom.
Second, we will strive to promote the transformation of achievements with high efficiency. We will give full play to the dual driving role of central enterprises as “chain leaders” and application scenarios, accelerate the construction of a number of major pilot verification platforms, intensify the implementation of the application expansion project for scientific and technological achievements, increase the purchase of the first unit (set), the first batch, and the first version, and promote the iterative upgrading in the process of large-scale application, so as to help more innovative achievements enter the market and form real productive forces.
Third, we will strive to pool high-level innovative factors. We will further improve the multi-channel financing and rational growth mechanism for R&D investment, especially by speeding up the increase in basic research investment, building more science and technology innovation platforms, fully strengthening the training, introduction and utilization of science and technology talents, and improving the system and mechanism of enterprises' science and technology innovation, so that science and technology personnel can focus on their work and devote themselves to scientific research.
Fourth, we will strive to build a high-level innovation ecology. We will take the initiative to play a leading role of large enterprises, strengthen the deep integration of industry, education, and research with the enterprise as the main body, upgrade the innovation joint venture, accelerate the construction of a common technology platform, deepen international innovation cooperation, improve the mechanism of co-investment of factors, co-sharing of benefits, and risk sharing, promote the collaborative innovation of enterprises in the upstream, downstream, and midstream of the industrial chain, and continuously stimulate the vitality and dynamic of scientific and technological innovation.
Promote the leap of the industrial system towards high added value and high technology content.
Q: The "Proposal" puts forward new requirements for deepening the reform of state-owned assets and state-owned enterprises. What will be the focus of this work in the next five years?
Answer: General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that to grasp industrial innovation, we must adhere to the foundation of the real economy, insist on promoting the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries and the creation of new tracks for strategic emerging industries and future industries. In recent years, state-owned assets and central enterprises have thoroughly studied and implemented the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's important instructions and the relevant decisions and arrangements of the Party Central Committee, and have coordinated efforts in the upgrading of traditional industries and the cultivation of emerging industries. They have implemented special actions such as the revitalization of central enterprises' industries, the setting sail of future industries, and the "AI+". The average annual growth rate of investment in the emerging industries sector exceeded 20% during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, and a number of world-class industrial clusters have been created in the fields of new generation information technology, new energy, new materials, and high-end equipment manufacturing, which has effectively promoted the upgrading and development of key industries.
During the "15th Five-Year Plan" period, we will guide and promote central enterprises to further focus on their main responsibilities and main business, develop the real economy, and promote the industrial system to continuously leap towards high added value and high technology content, and play a leading and traction role in building a modern industrial system.
Focus on the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries. Deeply carry out the new round of digital transformation actions for central enterprises, deepen and expand the "AI+" special action, promote the deep integration of information technology such as artificial intelligence, big data, cloud computing, 5G, and the Internet of Things with the whole process and all elements of traditional industries, continuously promote technological transformation and large-scale equipment renewal, take the lead in implementing the carbon peak implementation plan for key industries and fields, promote resource recycling, accelerate product iteration and upgrading, strengthen the supply of high-end products, and promote the realization of intelligent, green, and integrated development.
Focus on the cultivation of emerging industries and future industries. Implement the action of revitalization and the action of setting sail in depth, highlight the engineering and scenario traction, find the new track with large volume, fast growth and good prospects in the next five years, adhere to " hierarchical cultivation, classified strategy", continue to exert efforts in key areas such as new energy, new energy vehicles, new materials, aerospace, low-altitude economy, actively develop platform economy, and plan quantum technology, embodied intelligence, bio-manufacturing, green ships, 6G and other cutting-edge tracks in advance, and promote the continuous transformation of the development momentum of enterprises.
Focus on building a professional and market-oriented system for financing and investment in industries. Leverage the role of state-owned capital investment and operation companies, make full use of the central enterprise strategic emerging industries development special fund, various entrepreneurial investment funds and other financial tools, and study the construction of an industrial financing and investment system covering the whole chain from seed period, angel period, growth period to母 fund, etc., to improve the scientific, professional and efficient industrial investment decision-making mechanism, create a high-level state-owned capital operation platform, and develop long-term capital, patient capital and strategic capital for the development of the real economy, to help the construction of a modern industrial system.
Advancing a new round of state-owned enterprise reform and accelerating the development of more world-class enterprises.
Q: The Suggestions put forward new requirements for deepening the reform of state-owned assets and state-owned enterprises. What is the focus of this work in the next five years?
Answer: At present, the main tasks of the action plan for deepening and improving state-owned enterprise reform have been basically completed. In the next step, we will resolutely implement the decisions and arrangements of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, focus on promoting the new round of state-owned assets and state-owned enterprise reform, adhere to the problem-oriented approach, pay more attention to the quality and effectiveness of reform, and promote reform to go deeper on a higher starting point. We will promote state-owned enterprises to continuously enhance their core functions and improve their core competitiveness.
In further enhancing the capacity to serve the national strategy, focus on strategic security, industrial leadership, national economy and people's livelihood, public services and other functions, further clarify the functional orientation of various enterprises, strengthen the evaluation of strategic missions, improve the management of main responsibilities and main businesses, accelerate the concentration of state-owned capital in important industries and key fields related to national security and the national economy, in public services, emergency capabilities, public welfare fields and other fields related to the national economy and people's livelihood, and in strategic emerging industries.
To further improve the modern Chinese enterprise system with Chinese characteristics, we need to effectively strengthen the leadership of the Party in improving corporate governance, improve the corporate governance mechanism for state-owned enterprises with Chinese characteristics, accelerate organizational changes, improve scientific management levels, continuously strengthen the management at the corporate level, and improve the efficiency of corporate decision-making and operation. In terms of talent introduction and training, we need to break the routine and strengthen the positive incentives for key core talents.
Further enhancing the effectiveness of state - owned assets supervision is also an important reform task. During the 15th Five - Year Plan period, efforts will be made to balance "giving enterprises more flexibility" and "exercising effective supervision", establish specialized and professional state - owned assets supervision agencies, enhance the strategic coordination among relevant management departments, formulate more targeted, inclusive and flexible supervision policies, improve the classified assessment and evaluation system, improve the "one - enterprise - one - policy" assessment mechanism, vigorously promote penetrating supervision, and continuously improve the professional, systematic, law - based and efficient supervision level, so as to develop and safeguard the common wealth of all the people.
Q: The Proposal puts forward the need to accelerate the development of more world-class enterprises. How will state-owned assets and central enterprises implement this requirement?
A: World-class enterprises are an important manifestation of a country's economic strength, technological strength, and international competitiveness. To build a socialist modernized powerful country in an all-round way, it is necessary to cultivate a number of world-class enterprises as a support. The "Suggestion" has made arrangements for "accelerating the construction of more world-class enterprises", and state-owned assets and central enterprises will take the lead in implementing and promoting the work, deeply promoting the special actions of benchmarking world-class enterprises in value creation, management improvement, and brand leadership, solidly carrying out the evaluation and promotion of world-class enterprises, increasing the cultivation of professional leading enterprises, and accelerating the construction of more world-class enterprises with excellent products, outstanding brands, leading innovation, and modern governance.
First, enhance the ability to create value. Guide central enterprises to focus more on intrinsic value, long-term value, and strategic value, and strive to achieve better quality, higher benefits, stronger competitiveness, and greater driving effect. Second, enhance the ability to drive innovation. Actively integrate into the national innovation system, accelerate the construction of original technology source, increase the supply of key enabling technologies, promote the deep integration of innovation chains and industrial chains, and better play the main role of enterprise scientific and technological innovation. Third, enhance the ability of modern enterprise governance. Deepen the reform of the three internal systems, promote the spirit of entrepreneurs, vigorously promote the transformation of flat, agile and intelligent, and build a more scientific and efficient management and operation system. Fourth, enhance the ability to allocate and integrate resources. Innovate production modes and industrial organization methods, focus on high-quality co-construction of the "Belt and Road", and integrate more deeply and widely into the global market.
At the same time, state-owned central enterprises should enhance the ability of Party building to lead and guarantee. We should adhere to the political construction of the Party as the leading point, improve the work system of Party building that is compatible with the system of comprehensively and strictly governing the Party and suitable for the functions and missions of state-owned enterprises, and lead and guarantee the high-quality development of enterprises with high-quality Party building.
