The modern industrial system is the material and technological foundation of a modern country and an important support for promoting Chinese-style modernization. General Secretary Xi Jinping attaches great importance to the construction of modern industrial system, emphasizing that "to build an independent and controllable, safe and reliable, competitive modern industrial system" "to promptly apply scientific and technological innovation achievements to specific industries and industrial chains, transform and enhance traditional industries, cultivate and strengthen emerging industries, layout and construction of future industries, and improve the modern industrial system". In general, to build a modern industrial system, we must find the right positioning, clear direction, integrate resources, precise force, aim at the goal of improving the integrity, advancement and safety of the industrial system, and coordinate the modernization level of industrial technology, governance, organization and layout.

We will accelerate the development of new quality productive forces

It is an important task to build a modern industrial system to continuously improve the technical and management modernization level of various industries. To modernize the industrial system, we will not only transform and upgrade traditional industries, but also vigorously develop emerging industries and foster industries of the future. We should use scientific and technological innovation to lead the development of a modern industrial system, in particular, disruptive and cutting-edge technologies to generate new industries, new models and new drivers of growth, and accelerate the development of new quality productive forces. At present, China has accumulated a lot of experience in the digital, intelligent and green transformation, formed a group of service providers specializing in providing transformation and upgrading for enterprises, and produced a number of digital, intelligent and green benchmarking enterprises for successful transformation, but there are still a large number of enterprises facing the difficulty of weak upgrading foundation and insufficient capital investment ability. Promoting large-scale equipment renewal is an important policy measure to promote the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries. Emerging industries and future industrial development are important areas for China to give full play to its innovation advantages, and can achieve win-win development with developed countries. Judging from the practice in recent years, China has strong advantages in using the advantages of a complete industrial system, a high level of development and a large scale market to develop new industries, new formats and new models, and has realized the transformation from following to running and even leading in many fields, which has become an important direction to improve the level of industrial modernization. In addition, the development level of many business service industries in China, such as research and development design, management consulting, testing and certification, lags behind that of the manufacturing industry. Accelerating the development of these industries is also an important part of enhancing the modernization level of the industrial system.

Improve relevant institutions and mechanisms

To build a modern industrial system, we need to improve the governance system conducive to the continuous upgrading and development of industries, and stimulate the internal motivation of business entities to climb to the middle and high end of the value chain. Perfect investment and financing system and mechanism can guarantee the continuous investment of industry and healthy competition among enterprises. As the development stage changes, it is necessary to reform and standardize the behavior of attracting investment, so as to ensure that business entities make independent decisions and assume their own profits and losses when investing in new projects. Effective innovation incentive mechanism can enhance the internal innovation power of enterprises. At present, further strengthening the support for enterprises to safeguard intellectual property rights can improve the innovation income of enterprises and enhance the enthusiasm for innovation. The quality supervision mechanism of the whole chain can encourage enterprises to continuously improve the quality level of goods and services and promote the survival of the fittest. It is necessary to strengthen the management of the whole supply chain, the whole industrial chain and the whole life cycle of products through extensive quality management system upgrading actions, strengthen strict supervision, severe penalties and serious accountability, and ensure the quality of goods and services. In addition, the guarantee mechanism from the upgrading of technology to the upgrading of added value is also important. A modern industrial system should not only be able to produce high-quality goods and services, but also be able to create a high level of added value and form a strong social purchasing power. It is necessary to improve the mechanism for determining workers' wages and increasing them reasonably, so that the wages of front-line workers, the profits of enterprises and the tax revenue of the state can all increase in step with industrial upgrading.

Form a sound industrial organization structure

A good industrial organization structure is the premise to ensure the coordinated development and positive interaction of various enterprises, and is an important part of building a modern industrial system. At present, the high degree of monopoly in a few industries and the large number of enterprises in some industries and the low degree of market concentration coexist, which not only leads to the abuse of monopoly status by some enterprises to obtain improper benefits, but also leads to the existence of low-level vicious competition in some industries. According to the characteristics of different industries, we should attach equal importance to strengthening anti-monopoly and promoting merger and reorganization to optimize market structure, so as to avoid excessive competition. At the same time, efforts should be made to build a collaborative cooperation pattern between upstream and downstream enterprises in the industrial chain, promote the reasonable distribution of industrial value in different links of the industrial chain, prevent a small number of enterprises in the industrial chain from taking advantage of their market advantages to unreasonably usurp the interests of upstream and downstream enterprises, and promote the formation of an industrial organizational structure in which upstream and downstream enterprises jointly create value and develop in synergy. In addition, continue to adhere to the development of specialized new enterprises, improve the ability of enterprises to produce differentiated products and services, which is also an important aspect of improving the level of modernization of industrial organizations.

Foster multi-level industrial clusters

The modern industrial layout can not only give full play to the industrial agglomeration and industrial supporting effect, but also promote the coordinated development of regional economy and narrow the regional gap. Since the reform and opening up, China has initially formed a certain differentiated industrial layout, but there are still some problems, such as, a large number of industries are distributed in the eastern region, the strength of the industrial clusters in the central and western regions is relatively weak and the ability to drive economic development is not strong, and the degree of industrial homogeneity across the region is relatively high. At present, many industries in the eastern region of China are gradually transferring to the central and western regions, and a large number of new industries and new forms of business are developing rapidly. We should seize the favorable opportunity to optimize the industrial layout, and strive to promote the formation of an industrial layout with the rational distribution and misplaced development of world-class, national and provincial industrial clusters in various places. To break down regional divisions, implement the Outline of the Development Plan for the Yangtze River Economic Belt and the Outline of the Development Plan for the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, and build a number of world-class industrial clusters in key industrial clusters across the country; To build a number of national industrial clusters on the basis of strategic emerging industrial clusters and advanced manufacturing clusters; On the basis of provinces, regions and cities, we will build regional industrial clusters with reasonable division of labor and distinct regional characteristics. In this process, the key is to strengthen the reform, enhance the overall coordination of industrial cluster planning at all levels and reasonable division of labor, not only to prevent the industrial planning level of non-matching, non-cohesion, but also to improve the implementation of industrial planning.

In addition, improving the modern industrial system should also strive to improve efficiency and enhance the ability to absorb employment. With the development of economy and society, it is necessary and necessary to continuously improve the quality of employment and enhance the ability to absorb employment. At present, the level of intelligent production continues to improve, the application of digital and information technology in various industries has accelerated, and many technologies have shown employment substitution effect. The modern industrial system should not only be able to make full use of the latest technological achievements, continuously improve production efficiency and industrial competitiveness, but also be able to ensure sufficient and high-quality jobs. The manufacturing industry makes full use of intelligent manufacturing technology to improve production efficiency in participating in international competition, and the moderate reduction of employment scale after the basic completion of industrialization is in line with international experience. The service industry, especially the life service industry, will increasingly become an important area to attract employment.
