Shenzhen TV Zhi News:

As we know, Jiangxi's industrial structure has always been dominated by traditional manufacturing, facing challenges in industrial upgrading and transformation. I would like to ask how Jiangxi will promote the enhancement and expansion of its manufacturing sector and accelerate the development of a modern industrial system with local distinctions and advantages? Thank you.

Ye Jianchun:

Thank you for your question, I will invite Mr. Ying Jiong to answer it.

Ying Jiong:

Thank you for your concern about Jiangxi's industry. Jiangxi is the birthplace of industrialization under our Party's leadership, producing the nation's first aircraft, first diesel wheeled tractor, first military motorcycle with sidecar, and first coastal defense missile. Of course, these achievements belong to the past. Today, we are striving to revitalize Jiangxi's manufacturing glory. As introduced by Mr. Ye Jianchun, we are deeply implementing the action plan to improve key manufacturing industrial chains, abbreviated as the "1269" action plan. The "12" refers to strengthening 12 key manufacturing industrial chains, including electronic information, non-ferrous metals, equipment manufacturing, new energy, the petrochemical and chemical industry, building materials, steel, aviation, food, textile and clothing, medicine, and modern furniture. The "6" refers to building six advanced manufacturing clusters: electronic information, copper-based new materials, lithium and photovoltaic new energy, tungsten and rare earth metal new materials, aviation, and integrated refining and chemical new materials. The "9" refers to achieving annual growth of around 9% in the output of industries above designated size by 2026.

In 2023, we upheld the promotion of integrated projects, enterprises, chains, and clusters, achieving a year-on-year increase of 5.4% in the province's industrial added value above designated size, 0.8 percentage point higher than the national average. This growth ranks seventh nationwide, demonstrating strong momentum in industries such as new energy, non-ferrous metals, and electronic information, marking a favorable beginning for the implementation of the "1269" action plan. Next, we will continuously deepen and specify the "1269" action plan, accelerating the establishment of Jiangxi's modernized industrial system with distinct strengths.

First, we will promote industrial upgrading. Focusing on the 12 key industrial chains and six advanced manufacturing clusters, we will implement the "industrial chain chief" mechanism to consistently upgrade traditional industrial chains, enhance competitive industrial chains, and consolidate emerging industrial chains, comprehensively improving the strength of Jiangxi's industry.

Second, we will maintain the transformation of growth drivers, primarily through the digital transformation of manufacturing. Within the next two years, we aim to establish 2,000 exemplary enterprises in digital transformation and implement digital reform in 10,000 enterprises, comprehensively improving the province's manufacturing digitalization.

Third, we will enhance the cultivation of entities. We will strengthen policy and financial guidance, cultivate more market entities, and provide tiered support to leading key enterprises and those using specialized and sophisticated technologies to produce novel and unique products. Meanwhile, efforts will be made to promote the integrated development of large, medium and small enterprises and accelerate the building of a number of provincial and national advanced manufacturing clusters. Thank you.
