不可否认，在一些地方，制造业"老三样"存在附加值不高、缺乏差异化竞争、环保压力较大等问题。但 解决这些问题不能采用"一刀切"关停办法，而是要加快高端化、智能化、绿色化转型。服装、家具等产 业的绿色转型，可推动环保染料、节能电机等配套产业发展；家电行业的智能化升级，可为芯片、传感 器等零部件企业创造广阔市场。反之，若没有"老三样"多年积累的制造业基础、产业工人储备和全球营 销网络，芯片、"新三样"也难以快速实现规模化发展。全球产业竞争的实践表明，真正强大的制造业体 系，必然是多元协同、梯次发展的，既要有引领未来的芯片、"新三样"，也要有根基扎实的"老三样"。 正确处理新旧产业关系，核心在于坚持因地制宜、实事求是。各地发展产业"不能刻舟求剑、拿一个模 子去套"，而应立足资源禀赋和产业基础，实现芯片、"新三样"与"老三样"的有机衔接。产业基础雄厚 的地区可聚焦芯片、"新三样"核心技术攻关，打造创新集群；劳动力资源丰富的地区可深耕"老三样"的 升级改造，延长产业链条。 "一些地方不顾实际，盲目追风口。看别人搞芯片，自己也搞。看别人搞'新三样'，自己也不甘落 后。"在最近召开的中央经济工作会议上，习近平总书记指出，一些 ...
