Scientific Outlook on Development is a sharp weapon to guide economic and social development and an important guiding principle for building Socialism with Chinese characteristics. In studying and practicing Scientific Outlook on Development, the role of science and technology should not be underestimated, and science and technology should be regarded as an important lever for studying and practicing Scientific Outlook on Development.
First, to practice Scientific Outlook on Development, we should have a deep understanding of the inherent and inevitable relationship between science and technology and Scientific Outlook on Development.
Today's era is moving towards the era of knowledge economy, and the development of science and technology has become the general trend of developing economy, strengthening the country and participating in international competition. The traditional development model relying on resources, capital and labor force is turning to the scientific and technological innovation development model relying on science and technology, knowledge and talents. International and regional competition is also increasingly showing the characteristics of scientific and technological competition. Scientific Outlook on Development was put forward based on the basic national conditions in the primary stage of socialism, summing up China's development practice, learning from foreign development experience and adapting to new development requirements. Scientific Outlook on Development's proposal has a distinct background of the times, especially the background of science and technology.
From the background put forward by Scientific Outlook on Development, the development of China in the new century presents a series of new stage features. Opening to the outside world is expanding day by day, and international competition is becoming increasingly fierce. The pressure of the dominant position of developed countries in economy, science and technology has existed for a long time, foreseeable and unpredictable risks have increased, and the requirements for coordinating domestic development and opening up have increased. In the process of modernization, to solve the problems of resource depletion, energy depletion and new energy development, scientifically and rationally utilize the natural resources on which human beings depend, and establish a resource-saving and environment-friendly society, we must rely on scientific and technological progress to change the development mode.
From the internal motivation of implementing Scientific Outlook on Development, science and technology, as the fundamental means to solve the major problems in coping with environmental changes and future development, as the internal motivation to develop advanced productive forces, advanced culture and realize the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people, has become increasingly important and urgent.
From the method of establishing and implementing Scientific Outlook on Development, we can see that scientific attitude and scientific spirit are important methods to implement Scientific Outlook on Development, and we should closely combine establishing and implementing Scientific Outlook on Development with mastering scientific thinking methods. Scientific Outlook on Development is the scientific basis for guiding development. Only by seeking truth and being pragmatic, knowing and grasping the law can we get its essence. We should make Scientific Outlook on Development run through the whole process of thinking, decision-making and work, plan development from a long-term perspective, make overall plans for development with overall awareness, grasp development with a scientific attitude, and more consciously promote the coordinated development of socialist material civilization, political civilization and spiritual civilization.
Judging from the requirements of studying and practicing Scientific Outlook on Development in depth, the State Council's "Decision on Implementing the Outline of Science and Technology Planning to Enhance the Ability of Independent Innovation" pointed out that the main responsible comrades of party and government at all levels should attach great importance to scientific and technological work and regard the effectiveness of improving the ability of independent innovation as an important content of implementing Scientific Outlook on Development and the correct view of political achievements.
Therefore, there is an inherent and inevitable relationship between science and technology and Scientific Outlook on Development. Science and technology are the strong support of Scientific Outlook on Development, and Scientific Outlook on Development is the action guide to solve the development problems in modernization by using science and technology and advanced theories and material achievements created by human beings.
Second, to practice Scientific Outlook on Development, we must promote new industrialization.
Industrialization is the only way for any country to develop its economy. One of the goals of building a well-off society in an all-round way in the first 20 years of this century is to basically realize industrialization. To implement Scientific Outlook on Development and promote sound and rapid economic and social development, we must rely on science and technology and take the road of new industrialization.
First, persist in promoting industrialization through informationization. Informatization is an inevitable choice to accelerate industrialization and modernization. It is necessary to promote industrialization by informationization, promote informationization by industrialization, and embark on a new road of industrialization with high scientific and technological content, good economic benefits, low resource consumption, less environmental pollution and full play to the advantages of human resources. Only in this way can we give full play to the advantages of backwardness, achieve the goal of ensuring growth and development, and realize the leap-forward development of productive forces.
Second, persist in taking scientific and technological progress as the driving force, transform traditional industries and develop high-tech industries. Facing the world financial crisis, we should turn the crisis into an opportunity, seize the opportunity and develop high-tech industries based on information technology, biotechnology, new energy, new material technology and environmental technology. At the same time, we will transform traditional industries with high-tech and advanced practical technologies, and strive to improve the overall quality and core competitiveness of industries.
The third is to develop agriculture with the concept of industrialization. Run industry around agriculture, develop industry to feed agriculture, and promote the construction of new countryside with new technology.
Fourth, give full play to the advantages of human resources and promote new industrialization. In the face of the world economic downturn, in the process of promoting industrialization, we should handle the contradiction between improving labor productivity and expanding employment, the relationship between capital-technology-intensive and labor-intensive industries, the relationship between high-tech industries and traditional industries, the relationship between export-oriented economy and domestic demand-oriented economy, give full play to the extensive advantages of human resources and domestic market, and promote stable and rapid economic development.
Third, to practice Scientific Outlook on Development, we should vigorously improve the scientific quality of cadres and the masses.
Implementing the people-oriented, comprehensive, coordinated and sustainable development concept is a great undertaking with rich scientific and technological connotations. To implement Scientific Outlook on Development and solve many historical and practical problems, we must rely on scientific and technological progress and implement the concept that science and technology are the primary productive forces.
First, we should really deepen our understanding that science and technology are the primary productive forces. "Science and technology is the primary productive force", which is the driving force of social development and the first driving force of social political, economic and cultural development. It can be said that after agricultural civilization and industrial civilization, human society will be a branch civilization marked by science and technology industry. Only by advocating science and respecting creation can we achieve a fundamental change in the way of ensuring growth and development. In promoting Scientific Outlook on Development's practical activities, leading cadres at all levels and the broad masses of the people should take the lead in learning scientific knowledge and enhancing their awareness of science and technology. Party and government leaders at all levels should grasp the "primary productive force" in their hands, truly form a strong atmosphere of learning and using science, promoting development and ensuring growth, and truly put science and technology in the first place.
Second, we should respect science and improve our overall planning ability. Facing the increasingly severe resource and environmental problems, in order to achieve comprehensive, coordinated and sustainable development and realize five overall plans, we must grasp the law of overall plans and their mutual influence. This requires leading cadres to have a solid scientific foundation, master scientific methods and laws, and constantly improve their decision-making level and overall planning ability. It is necessary to establish a "humanistic and rational spirit", correct scientific attitude, cultivate scientific spirit, apply scientific and technological achievements reasonably and correctly in the process of constantly understanding and adapting to nature and promoting social progress, and seek long-term harmonious economic and social development.
Third, we must attach great importance to the role of science and technology and fully implement the strategy of rejuvenating the country through science and education, strengthening the country through talents and sustainable development. Science and technology are the primary productive forces, which is not only a slogan, but also reflected in decision-making and implementation in action. It is necessary to effectively increase the implementation of policies and financial support to encourage scientific and technological innovation, and truly regard scientific research as the cornerstone of future development; We should attach great importance to the cultivation and use of talents, put talent work in a very important strategic position, make good use of existing talents, cultivate future talents and optimize the allocation of talent resources; It is necessary to effectively create a good software and hardware environment to provide support for innovative talents to stand out and outstanding scientific and technological achievements; Attach great importance to ecological construction and environmental protection, vigorously develop industries and products that save resources and do not pollute the environment, properly handle the relationship between economic development and population, resources and environment, and take the road of sustainable development.
Take science and technology as an important lever to practice Scientific Outlook on Development, promote the efficiency integration and optimization of the whole social system, and realize the maximization of "system efficiency". To practice Scientific Outlook on Development, we must put the development of science and technology in the first place, promote the effective integration of various resources with scientific methods and advanced technologies, and strive to achieve the grand goal of building a well-off society in an all-round way.
