Professor Gao first emphasized that China's economic development has entered a new stage, and further explained this view from the great changes in the international situation and the changes in China's internal economic development. He believed that in the new stage of economic development, we face two major challenges, that is, to prevent the Sino-US economic competition from falling into a "long-term stalemate" internationally, and to prevent China's economic development from lingering at a long-term low speed domestically. Therefore, the core tasks of the new phase can be summarized as two firsts, one dominant and one first. The two firsts are to "quickly build the world's first economic power" and "accelerate the construction of the world's first economic power".The one dominant is to establish a technological innovation system, industrial system and economic system dominated by local enterprises and local forces. A first-class is that every unit and every individual should speed up to the world-class. Professor Gao put forward four principles for the new stage of technological innovation strategy, especially the importance of forming a local system. In the lecture, Professor Gao interspersed a large number of cases of China's advanced manufacturing enterprises and high-tech enterprises, and spoke with facts, which made the teachers and students who participated in the lecture feel convinced and excited.

Finally, Professor Gao also fully communicated with the teachers and students present and answered various questions.

Zhou Jianghua, Director of MBA Center, thanked Professor Gao for his wonderful lecture. This lecture gave the students a clear view of the research and solid research practice to share, at the same time, Professor Gao's explanation is simple, fascinating, andexciting, for the students to understand the new stage of China's economic development. It has a very important guiding significance.
