(Abstract)

Liu Yuanchun

Developing new quality productive forces is an important theoretical and practical proposition of the Chinese path to modernization. To deeply understand the scientific connotation of new quality productive forces, we need to grasp its theoretical category and foundation within the framework of Marxist political economy, and comprehensively interpret it from both micro and macro levels in combination with the qualitative structure of productivity. The development of new quality productive forces should follow the general laws of productivity, and it also has demonstrated that the CPC Central Committee with Xi Jinping at its core upholds fundamental principles and breaks new ground based on the practice of China’s economic and social development in the new era. Only by continuously understanding the regularity of new quality productive forces and adhering to the construction of a modern industrial system fueled by technological innovation, can we accelerate the cultivation and development of new quality productive forces and foster high-quality economic development in practice.
