The western region plays a crucial role in the overall reform, development, and stability of the country. In May 2019, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council issued the "Guiding Opinions on Promoting the Western Development in the New Era and Forming a New Pattern", which significantly improved the high-quality development capacity of the western region. In April 2024, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized at the symposium on promoting the development of the western region in the new era that "developing new quality productive forces according to local conditions, exploring the development of modern manufacturing and strategic emerging industries, laying out and constructing future industries, and forming new driving forces for regional development." At present, new quality productive forces have already formed and demonstrated strong driving force and support for high-quality development in practice. Striving to write a new chapter in the development of the western region, we should start from the actual situation of the western region, explore a high-quality development mode that is compatible with the requirements of the development of new quality productive forces, our comparative advantages, and the positioning of our main functions. We should develop new quality productive forces according to local conditions and accelerate the formation of new driving forces for regional development. Fully leverage regional advantages. The characteristic of new quality productivity is innovation, which is essentially advanced productivity. Technological innovation is the core element for developing new quality productivity. The western region has a vast land area, with some areas having good resource endowments, strong industrial foundations, and great development potential, and has its own advantages in developing new quality productive forces. For example, the Chengdu Chongqing dual city economic circle is the most densely populated, industrially strong, innovative, and open region in western China; The development process and momentum of the Guanzhong Plain urban agglomeration have accelerated, and its comprehensive strength has steadily improved in recent years; wait. We need to fully leverage the development advantages of these regions, effectively integrate scientific and technological innovation resources, explore the development of modern manufacturing and strategic emerging industries, and lay out the construction of future industries; Fully leverage the leading and exemplary role of these regions, radiate and drive the overall improvement of scientific and technological innovation capabilities in the western region, and promote the accelerated development of new quality productivity. At the same time, the western region should strengthen scientific and technological innovation cooperation with the eastern and central regions, rely on the comparative advantages of the western region in energy supply, land supply, etc., enhance scientific and technological exchanges and cooperation, actively cultivate and introduce high-level scientific and technological innovation talents, and accumulate scientific and technological innovation resources in the western region by improving the level of internal and external openness. Create a group of distinctive advantageous industries. Traditional industries are important carriers for developing new quality productivity and cannot be simply regarded as "low-end industries" and blindly withdrawn. The proportion of traditional industries in the economy of the western region is relatively high, and most of them have great market demand and development potential. After transformation and upgrading, they can become an important force driving stable economic growth. We should focus on the functional positioning and industrial foundation of the western region, and strive to promote the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries, as well as improve their quality and efficiency. Vigorously promote the upgrading of equipment in key industries, and promote the continuous development, strengthening, and optimization of characteristic advantageous industries such as energy and chemical industry, deep processing of resources, agriculture and animal husbandry and their processing, and equipment manufacturing. Promote the high-end, intelligent, and green development of the manufacturing industry, especially through digital technology empowering innovative changes in production methods and organizational models, fully utilizing new technologies to update traditional processes and equipment, optimize product structures, achieve clean production throughout the entire process, efficiently utilize resources, gradually extend the industrial chain, and gradually transform the development mode, accelerating the construction of a modern manufacturing industry system with characteristics and advantages. Promote green and low-carbon development. Green development is the foundation of high-quality development, and new quality productivity itself is green productivity. The western region is a key area for ecological construction in China, with abundant natural resources and a relatively fragile ecological environment. To this end, it is necessary to firmly establish the concept that green mountains and clear waters are as valuable as mountains of gold and silver. Based on the natural resource endowment of the western region, we should strengthen the planning and control of mineral resources and the large-scale intensive development and utilization, extend the industrial chain, and strive to transform resource advantages into development advantages. Accelerate the construction of a new energy system, improve energy infrastructure, promote the upgrading of existing energy bases, leverage the advantages of wind, solar, and hydropower, vigorously develop clean energy, and cultivate it as a new growth point. Vigorously develop industries such as ecological planting and breeding, create a high-value ecological industry chain, comprehensively promote the construction of a natural protected area system with national parks as the main body, support high-quality development with high-quality ecological environment, and promote the development of new quality productivity.
