I.GuidingIdeology TakingXiJinpingThoughtonSocialismwithChineseCharacteristicsforaNewEraastheguide,wemustfullyimplementthespiritofthe20thPartyCongress,takethenewstageofdevelopment(新发展阶段)asourbasis,completely,accurately,andcomprehensivelyimplementthenewconceptofdevelopment(新发展理念),accelerateconstructionofthenewpatternofdevelopment(新发展格局),conformtothefundamentalprinciplesofindustrialdevelopment,takebuildinganadvancedpilotingcapabilityasthegoal,adheretobeingdemand-orientedandscenario-led,improvetheserviceplatformsystem,developthepilotingindustryinaninnovativeway,optimizethepilotingdevelopmentecosystem,andpromotethesynchronizeddevelopmentofthepilotingandinnovationchainwithproductionchains,therebyprovidingstrongsupportforpromotingthehigh-qualitydevelopmentofthemanufacturingindustry,acceleratingtheachievementofnew-styleindustrialization(新型工业化),andconstructingamodernizedindustrialsystem. II.BasicPrinciples Persistininnovativedevelopment.Usinginnovationdriverstoleadpilotingdevelopment,promotethecontinuousupgradingofthewholepilotingchain,andachievehigher-endtechnology,moremodernizedcapability,morerefinedmanagement,andmoreefficientservices,therebysupportinghigh-qualitydevelopmentandtheindustrializationofachievements. Persistinsystematiclayout.Focusingoncombiningthebigpicturewiththedetails(远近结合),differentiatedimplementation,andsoftware-hardwaresynergies,buildappropriatepilotingcapacityaccordingtoindustrialcategories,layoutpilotingservicesaccordingtoindustrialclusters,andpromotethedeepintegrationofpilotproductionlineconstructionandproductionchains,soastosupportthemovementofindustriestowardsthemiddleandthehighend.
