Core view: The development prospects of the private economy in the new era and new journey are broad and has great potential. Taking advantage of the policy trend, relying on the super-large-scale market and a complete industrial system, unswervingly follow the path of high-quality development, stick to the main business, strengthen industry, strengthen independent innovation, and change the development model, we can continuously improve the quality, efficiency and core competitiveness of enterprises. It is time for private enterprises and private entrepreneurs to show their skills.

"The Party and the state's basic policies and policies for the development of the private economy have been incorporated into the socialist system with Chinese characteristics and will be consistently adhered to and implemented, and cannot be changed, nor will it change." At the private enterprise symposium held on February 17, General Secretary Xi Jinping delivered an important speech, fully affirming the major achievements made in the development of the private economy and the important contributions made to the country's economic and social development, emphasizing the need to correctly understand the opportunities and challenges facing the development of the private economy, and made comprehensive arrangements for promoting the healthy and high-quality development of the private economy at present and in the future.

The private enterprises in my country have flourished from small to large and from weak to strong, and have flourished with the great process of reform and opening up. For a long time, the private economy has played a positive role in stabilizing growth, promoting innovation, increasing employment, and improving people's livelihood. The private economy not only contributes more than 50% of tax revenue, more than 60% of GDP, but also contributes more than 70% of technological innovation achievements and more than 90% of new jobs.

As of the end of September 2024, the total number of private economic entities in my country reached 180.8648 million, accounting for 96.37% of the total number of business entities. Among them, the number of registered private enterprises nationwide exceeded 55 million, and the proportion of private enterprises was stable at 92.3%. As a new force in promoting Chinese-style modernization, the private economy has formed a considerable scale, occupied a heavy weight, and has a solid foundation for high-quality development. From the popularity of "Black Myth: Wukong" overseas to the box office of "Nezha: The Devil Child's Trouble" exceeding 10 billion yuan; from the emergence of DeepSeek, to the "out of the circle" after the humanoid robot Spring Festival Gala debut... One private enterprise after another is moving forward on the innovation track, showing the spirit of loving to fight and winning.

Developing new quality productivity is an inherent requirement and important focus for promoting high-quality development. At present, the new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation is developing in depth, and is reconstructing the global innovation map and reshaping the global economic structure. The penetration, diffusion and disruptive characteristics of scientific and technological innovation are more significant, and "technology is the primary productive force" is accelerating into reality. Private enterprises have sufficient innovation motivation, strong spirit of change, and high market sensitivity. They are important forces in my country to cultivate new development momentum and open up new fields and new tracks. The important role of private enterprises and private entrepreneurs is irreplaceable to develop new quality productivity according to local conditions and promote the integrated development of scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation.

It should be noted that the development of the private economy still faces some difficulties and challenges, which generally arise in the process of reform and development and industrial transformation and upgrading, but these problems are local and temporary and can be overcome. "Resolutely break down various obstacles to equal use of production factors in accordance with the law and fair participation in market competition", "Focus on solving the problem of arrears of accounts arrears of private enterprises", "Concentrated rectification of random charges, random fines, random inspections, and random seals"... At the symposium of private enterprises, General Secretary Xi Jinping put forward a series of clear requirements, facing the actual problems, aiming to solve the pain points and difficulties that restrict the development of enterprises, and fully reflect the Party and the state's high attention and deep care for the private economy.

Just a while ago, news came from the "First New Year Meeting" of Guangdong Province that the Guangdong Provincial Development and Reform Commission officially established the Private Economic Development Bureau. Since the National Development and Reform Commission established the Private Economy Development Bureau, many places have established special institutions to promote the development of the private economy, sending a positive signal to escort the high-quality development of the private economy. Development problems must be solved by development. On February 18, a relevant person in charge of the National Development and Reform Commission said that the new version of the negative list for market access will be revised and issued as soon as possible to support private enterprises to actively participate in the "two doubles and two new". Solidly implement policies and measures to promote the development of the private economy is the focus of the current work to promote the development of the private economy.

The development prospects of the private economy in the new era and new journey have broad prospects. Taking advantage of the policy trend, relying on the super-large-scale market and a complete industrial system, unswervingly follow the path of high-quality development, stick to the main business, strengthen industry, strengthen independent innovation, and change the development model, we can continuously improve the quality, efficiency and core competitiveness of enterprises. It is time for private enterprises and private entrepreneurs to show their skills. (China Economic Network commentator Deng Hao)
