General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out at the eleventh collective study of the 20th CPC Central Political Bureau that green development is underlying color of high-quality development, and new-quality productive forces are in themselves green productive forces. This conclusion emphasizes the importance of green development, reveals the intrinsic connection between newquality productive forces and green productive forces, and points out the direction and path for speeding up the comprehensive green transformation of economic and social development and achieving high-quality development. So why is it said that new-quality productive forces are in themselves green productive forces? What do "new" and "green" imply, and where is the focus of green transformation development?

The so-called "new-quality productive forces are in themselves green productive forces" means to properly handle the relationship between economic development and ecological and environmental protection, contains the value pursuit of harmonious coexistence between man and nature. New-quality productive forces refer to the advanced productive forces with the characteristics of high technology, high efficiency and high. It abandons the traditional growth mode and the path of productive forces development, emphasizing the realization of green transformation and optimization of productive forces elements through ways such as scientific and technological, model innovation and institutional innovation, building a resource-saving, environment-pollution-reducing and climate-friendly development system, and thus providing higher efficiency and more sustainable new for economic and social development. This not only conforms to the concept of green development, but also opens up a new green path for the development of productive forces

Specifically, to correctly understand and grasp that "new quality of productive forces itself is green productive forces", we need to start from three. First, from a theoretical point of view, Marxist productive forces theory is the theoretical source of new quality productive forces. Marxist productive forces theory covers natural productive forces and social productive forces, and contains green connotations. Traditional productive forces emphasize the control of nature by human beings, but ignore the production constraints of nature on human beings. However, the theory new quality productive forces incorporates the symbiotic relationship between human beings and nature into the category of productive forces, enriches and develops the Marxist theory of productive forces. Secondly, a realistic point of view, new quality productive forces can promote the green leap of productive forces and the green and low-carbon development. In the past, some places have pursued shortterm economic growth at the expense of the environment, and environmental problems have become increasingly prominent. Now, all parts of the country are changing their development concepts, emphasizing the development of new productive forces, taking the road of green development, and achieving a high degree of fit between the "gold content" and "green content" of the economy, which provides a driving force and support for high-quality development. Thirdly, from the perspective of value goals, the development of new quality productive forces reflects the value pursuit of people-centered, only focusing on the subject value of human beings, but also adhering to the ecological attributes, abandoning the dichotomy between human beings and nature, aiming to achieve a harmon unification between human beings and nature, and achieving a win-win situation between economic development and ecological protection.
