Why should China take the road of new industrialization? How to promote the optimization and upgrading of industrial structure?

Industrialization generally refers to the process of transformation from a traditional agricultural society to a modern industrial society. Under different historical conditions, the road to industrialization is different. The old road to industrialization was completed through foreign aggression, colonial plunder, environmental destruction and massive consumption of energy and raw materials. China's continued industrialization is facing a new era of rapid development of the new scientific and technological revolution represented by information technology. Therefore, we must take a new road of industrialization that promotes industrialization with informationization and pays attention to transforming traditional industries with informationization. Using the latest science and technology, aiming at improving economic benefits and market competitiveness, relying on sustainable development and giving full play to China's advantages in human resources are the fundamental guiding principles for China's industrialization and modernization at this stage.

To promote the optimization and upgrading of industrial structure, we must: (1) give priority to the development of information industry and actively develop high-tech industries. (2) Adhere to the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries with high-tech and advanced applicable technologies, and vigorously revitalize the equipment manufacturing industry. (3) Accelerate the development of service industry, especially modern service industry. Therefore, we must attach great importance to and correctly handle the following relations: (1) the relationship between developing high-tech industries and developing traditional industries. (2) The relationship between developing capital-intensive industries and developing labor-intensive industries. (3) the relationship between the development of virtual capital and the development of real economy.
