[During his investigation in Jilin, Zhang Guoqing stressed that he will continue to expand and strengthen the advanced manufacturing industry and improve the level of independent control of the industrial chain] October 10th, Zhang Guoqing, member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Vice Premier of the State Council, visited Jilin Province from the 8th to the 10th to investigate the development of advanced manufacturing and independent innovation of high-end scientific research instruments. He emphasized that it is necessary to thoroughly implement the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important instructions and instructions, implement the decisions and arrangements of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, adhere to the direction of intelligence, greenness, and integration, continue to expand and strengthen advanced manufacturing, continuously improve the level of independent control of the industrial chain, and accelerate the construction of a modern industrial system with advanced manufacturing as the backbone. In Changchun City and Jilin City, Zhang Guoqing visited FAW Group, Jilin Petrochemical, Jilin Chemical Fiber and other enterprises to learn more about production operations, R&D innovation, industry development, etc. He emphasized that greater efforts should be made to promote the deep integration of technological innovation and industrial innovation and vigorously develop advanced manufacturing. It is necessary to strengthen the main position of enterprises in innovation, encourage enterprises, especially large enterprises, to strengthen basic research, strengthen collaborative research between industry, academia and research, implement high-quality development actions for key manufacturing industrial chains, accelerate breakthroughs in a number of key core technologies and key common technologies, and consolidate the technological base. We must focus on developing a new generation of intelligent manufacturing, use artificial intelligence to empower the entire process of manufacturing R&D, production, and management, accelerate the creation of high-quality data sets, actively cultivate industry vertical models and agents, and cultivate large-scale industrial application scenarios. We should pay attention to making good use of technological transformation, process upgrading and other starting points, give full play to the guiding role of policies such as equipment updating, accelerate the widespread application of digital intelligence technology and green technology, and promote the renewal and upgrading of traditional industries. It is necessary to guide state-owned enterprises to focus on their main responsibilities and main businesses to strengthen their layout in the advanced manufacturing field, promote integration innovation, application integration and factor aggregation, drive upstream and downstream collaboration and linkage, and continue to enhance the resilience and competitiveness of the industrial chain and supply chain. Zhang Guoqing also visited high-end scientific research instrument research institutions for research. He emphasized that it is necessary to strengthen basic theoretical research on scientific research instruments, give full play to the role of national strategic scientific and technological forces such as national laboratories, national scientific research institutions, high-level research universities, and leading scientific and technological enterprises, deepen scientific principles, accumulate technological foundation, and promote source and underlying breakthroughs through systematic research. It is necessary to adhere to the coordinated advancement of hardware, software, standards and patent layout, and integrate the research and development of scientific research instruments, key components, special software, reagents and other standard patents to improve product consistency and performance stability. It is necessary to accelerate the improvement of common support capabilities such as scientific research instrument system integration, standard measurement, pilot verification, inspection and testing, promote the promotion and application of independently developed technology products, and form a virtuous cycle of promoting research through use and iterative upgrades.
