　　(Economic Observation) Supporting Shenzhen's construction of a pilot demonstration zone, China uses a "key move"

　　China News Agency, Beijing, October 11 (Reporter Wang Enbo) At the important node of the 40th anniversary of the establishment of the special economic zone, Shenzhen has ushered in a "key move" in building a pilot demonstration zone of socialism with Chinese characteristics.

　　Recently, the General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the General Office of the State Council have issued the "Implementation Plan for the Pilot Comprehensive Reform of the Pilot Demonstration Zone of Socialism with Chinese Characteristics in Shenzhen (2020-2025)" (hereinafter referred to as the "Plan") to support Shenzhen's implementation of the pilot comprehensive authorized reform.

Experts in Beijing believe that this move will become an important opportunity for Shenzhen to demonstrate first and develop to a new level.

　　This year is the first year of the aforementioned reforms.

The "Plan" proposes that in 2020, a number of major reform measures will be launched in important areas such as the market-oriented allocation of factors, the optimization of the business environment, and the overall utilization of urban space. The first batch of comprehensive authorization lists will be formulated and implemented to promote a successful pilot project. step.

Thereafter, in 2022 and 2025, there will be corresponding phased goals.

　　According to Wang Yiming, former deputy director of the Development Research Center of the State Council, the central government has given Shenzhen more autonomy in key areas and key links, allowing Shenzhen to build on the latest practices in reform and innovation, and carry out relevant pilot experiments and demonstrations under the authorization, which is beneficial to Shenzhen. Promote reform and opening up at a higher starting point, higher level, and higher goals, and accelerate the formation of a new pattern of comprehensively deepening reforms and comprehensively expanding opening up.

　　However, to undertake this important historical mission, Shenzhen still has to deal with many challenges.

　　Liu Shijin, deputy director of the Economic Committee of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, said bluntly that China has basically formed a relatively complete product market, but the development of the factor market is relatively lagging, and there is a large gap between the requirements of the high-standard market system in some areas.

After experiencing sustained and rapid growth and transformation and upgrading, Shenzhen is also facing increasing factor constraints. For example, the cost of land, labor and other factors has risen significantly, the growth momentum of the industrial structure supported by existing factors has weakened, and the source of innovation is insufficient.

　　In response to these situations, the "Plan" clearly proposes to improve the market-oriented allocation system and mechanism of factors.

Support the in-depth exploration of land management systems; improve labor mobility systems that adapt to the characteristics of mega-cities; support pioneering trials in capital market construction; speed up the improvement of relevant systems for the transformation of technological achievements; accelerate the cultivation of data element markets; improve the element market evaluation contribution mechanism.

　　It is worth mentioning that the free flow, optimal allocation, and efficient use of elements, especially middle and high-level elements, also rely on a high-standard, high-quality system and policy environment.

　　"Optimizing the business environment and promoting fair competition is an important source of Shenzhen’s development vitality." Wang Yiming noted that the "Plan" requires Shenzhen to further improve its fair and open market environment, and formulate Shenzhen on the basis of a unified national market access negative list. Relax the list of special measures for market access, etc.

This will promote Shenzhen to better attract foreign investment, as well as high-end elements such as talents and technology, and promote the formation of a new development pattern in which the domestic and international double cycles promote each other.

　　At present, Shenzhen is constantly advancing the reform of factor marketization, and how to simultaneously promote the coordinated development of economy, society and ecology is a larger and more strategic issue.

　　Liu Shijin said that in recent years, Shenzhen has been able to maintain a high growth rate of more than 7% with a per capita GDP approaching 30,000 US dollars. At the same time, it strives to achieve air quality standards and carbon emissions peak targets, leading the country in urban development. .

But at the same time, it is also facing challenges such as the relatively lagging social development restricting the improvement of human capital, the capacity of resources and the environment, and the limited space for urban expansion that restrict continued growth. "Shenzhen must play a big game in expanding the space for sustainable development."

　　To meet the above needs, the "Plan" requires the improvement of the people's livelihood service supply system, such as supporting the development of international cutting-edge drug clinical applications in the medical service system, and expanding the autonomy of running schools in Shenzhen universities in education.

At the same time, improving the ecological and environmental protection system has also become the highlight of Shenzhen's sustainable development.

In this regard, the government has made it clear that it will improve the “three lines and one single” ecological environment zoning control system, such as the ecological protection red line, the bottom line of environmental quality, the online resource utilization and the ecological environment access list.

　　After the goals, priorities, and policies of the reform are determined, the reform mechanism is extremely important.

After the "Plan" is put into effect, how can the top-level design and the basic-level experiment be combined organically?

　　"True reform is the innovation of system, mechanism and policy, and innovation is essentially a trial and error process." Liu Shijin pointed out that China’s economy has entered a period of moderate and stable growth. How to achieve innovation-driven high-quality development? Which industries and places can There is still a lot of uncertainty as to which method will be the first to make a breakthrough.

It is necessary to mobilize all sectors of society to participate in the experiment and give a larger space for trial and error. Only in this process can good institutional mechanisms and policies be gradually formed.
