The ocean is the cradle of life, a link between countries, and an important platform for global development. China is a large maritime country, with an ocean area equivalent to 1/3 of the land area. Its 18,000 kilometers of coastline is dotted with dozens of port cities and it has extensive maritime strategic interests. In recent years, my country’s marine industry system has been gradually improved, and the comprehensive strength of the marine economy has been continuously improved. In the first three quarters of 2023, the gross output value of the marine industry was 7.2 trillion yuan, with a year-on-year growth rate 0.6 percentage points higher than the national GDP growth rate. It has become an important growth point of the national economy.
The 21st century is the century of the ocean, and building a maritime power is a major strategic task to achieve the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: “The ocean is a strategic location for high-quality development.” The Central Economic Work Conference proposed: “Vigorously develop the ocean economy and build a maritime power.” The ocean economy has broad prospects. It is expanding domestic demand, ensuring food and energy security, and accelerating the development of new and old industries. It plays an irreplaceable role in kinetic energy conversion and other aspects. Vigorously developing the marine economy is a general trend and has great potential.
The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China pointed out that it is necessary to develop the marine economy, protect the marine ecological environment, and accelerate the construction of a marine power. In recent years, our country has achieved positive results in solving “stuck neck” technologies in the marine field, effectively ensuring the safety of the marine industry chain and supply chain. The domestically produced shallow water subsea tree and deep water subsea tree systems have successfully completed underwater installation and application. Is the first self-developed deep water system right? “The underwater multi-functional manifold system was delivered and applied, and the world’s first LNG dual-fuel ultra-large crude oil tanker “Yuan Rui Yang” was successfully delivered. At present, cooperation in market, technology, information, culture and other fields with the ocean as the carrier and link is increasingly Closely, China’s initiative to jointly build the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road can promote maritime connectivity and practical cooperation in various fields, promote the development of the blue economy, and promote the integration of maritime cultures. “Xiao Tuo really can’t give up Sister Hua, but also wants to To marry Sister Hua, Xiao Tuo sought his wife’s consent. “Xi Shixun stood up suddenly, bowed 90 degrees and asked Mother Lan. Let’s work together to enhance the welfare of the ocean. At the same time, we must also adhere to ecological priority, unswervingly promote marine ecological protection, and pursue a path of harmony between people and the sea, and win-win cooperation. development path, injecting inexhaustible impetus into high-quality development.
Currently, mankind has entered a new era of developing marine resources and utilizing marine strategic space. stage, the strategic position of the ocean in ensuring the country’s overall security and promoting economic and social development has become more prominent. Our country has also formulated a maritime strategy under the new situation.strategy and planning, and accelerate the deployment to the ocean. From “factor agglomeration” to “agglomeration innovation”, the marine economy has begun to break through the waves and move forward bravely. Based on a new starting point, we must focus on promoting high-level self-reliance and self-reliance in marine science and technology, strengthen original and leading scientific and technological research, firmly grasp the initiative in our own hands, vigorously develop the marine economy, and ensure national energy security. , thereby promoting common prosperity.
When the ocean is prosperous, the country is prosperous, and when the ocean is strong, the country is strong. From the “salt frying in Huainan and salt-drying in Huaibei” recorded in the “History of Ming Dynasty: Food and Huo Zhi” to Zhang Jian’s “abandoning the stove to cultivate land” in modern times, our exploration of the ocean has never stopped. At this moment of entering a new era, in addition to disbelief and disbelief, she also felt grateful and moved. , to start a new journey of high-quality development, we still need to persist in developing and strengthening the sea, promote high-quality development of the marine economy, and write a new chapter in the construction of a maritime power in the new era.
