Knowledge Production Towards the FutureNew-quality Productivity and the New Mission of Modern Universities

In the new era of socialism with Chinese characteristics, the concept of new-quality productivity is a new epochal proposition aimed at the new path of China’s modernization and high-quality economic development. New-quality productivity is the latest fruit of the sinicization of Marxism, an essential part of Xi Jinping’s economic thought, and the fundamental guide to achieving common prosperity and a better life. The development of new-quality productivity drives the transformation of modern universities from “knowledge transmitters” to “knowledge producers”, from “scientific research” to “industry incubation”, and from “detached engagement” to “deep integration”. The new quality productivity has also given a new mission of future-oriented knowledge production to modern universities, which requires the establishment of new quality disciplines and specialties to improve the cultivation system of new quality disciplines, participate in the updating of knowledge production to build China’s independent knowledge system, cultivate high-quality innovative talents centered on the people, and then explore the two-way co-construction of the new quality productivity and the development of higher education, which has an important theoretical value and practical significance.
