On the eve of the New Year, President Xi Jinping delivered his 2025 New Year’s message.
Reviewing the year 2024, President Xi pointed out, “We have cultivated new quality productivity in accordance with local conditions, new industries and new modes of business have emerged competitively, the annual output of new energy vehicles exceeded 10 million for the first time, and new achievements have been made in the fields of integrated circuits, artificial intelligence, and quantum communications.”
“The annual output of new energy vehicles exceeded 10 million for the first time,” President Xi said again about China’s new energy vehicles.
In his New Year’s message in 2024, President Xi said, “National tidal brands are popular, new domestic cell phones are hard to find, and new energy vehicles, lithium batteries, and photovoltaic products have added new bright colors to Made in China.”
As early as May 24, 2014, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized during a local visit that “the development of new energy vehicles is a necessary path for China to move from a large automobile country to an automobile power.”This instruction, for the development of China’s new energy vehicles to put the steering wheel, for China’s construction of automotive power marked a clear path.
In recent years, China’s new energy vehicles ran out of “acceleration”. 2012, the annual output of 13,000 units; in 2018, the annual output reached one million units; in 2024, it is expected that the annual output of 12 million units.
In just 12 years, just more than ten years, to realize the amazing growth from 10,000 to 10 million vehicles.
This achievement, not only for China’s manufacturing to add a new bright color, so that new energy vehicles become a business card of China’s manufacturing, but also reshaped the pattern of development of the global automotive industry; not only to promote new energy vehicles to become China’s strategic emerging industries, but also highlights China’s innovative power, the vitality of the development of a vigorous surge.
The industry recognizes that electrification and intelligence are the direction of the century-long change of the automobile industry, which represent the “first half” and “second half” of the road-changing race, and the “second half” of intelligence is based on and premised on the electrification “first half”.electrification “first half” as the basis and premise.
The new energy automobile track is so competitive that there is no room for slacking off.A greater pace in electrification and intelligentization can consolidate China’s head position as the world’s largest producer, seller and exporter of new energy vehicles, and strengthen the first-mover advantage of China’s automobile industry in the wave of the new round of global scientific and technological revolution.
Looking at the rapid development of China’s new energy vehicles, we can’t just focus on how many thousands of units have been produced and how many thousands of units have been sold, but we should also see that it is the epitome of the development of new quality productivity in China.
The automobile industry has accelerated the transformation of electrification, network connectivity and intelligence, and has become an important force in promoting new industrialization and developing new productivity.
“The development of new-quality productivity is an inherent requirement and an important focus point for promoting high-quality development.”
In recent years, General Secretary Xi Jinping has been highly concerned about new quality productivity.
In September 2023, General Secretary Xi Jinping proposed the concept of “new quality productivity” for the first time during his visit to Heilongjiang.
Later, at the Central Economic Work Conference, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized the “development of new-quality productive forces”;
at the beginning of the New Year in 2024, General Secretary Xi Jinping, while presiding over the Eleventh Collective Learning Session of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee, pointed out that the new-quality productive forces are dominated by innovation, which “is characterized by innovation, and the key to it lies in quality and excellence.and the essence is advanced productivity.”
Over the past year, General Secretary Xi Jinping has gone on local inspection tours and has been mindful of new-quality productivity.
For example, during his visit to Qinghai, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out, “Remodeling and upgrading traditional industries, developing strategic emerging industries, and cultivating new quality productivity according to local conditions.”

In recent years, a number of industries in China, including new energy vehicles, have made a qualitative leap forward by moving towards “new” and winning with “quality”.
President Xi said in his New Year’s message that new industries and new modes of business have emerged in China, such as integrated circuits, artificial intelligence, quantum communications and other areas that have achieved new results.
