Focus on demand side management

  The meeting called for speeding up the construction of a new development pattern with the domestic big cycle as the main body and the domestic and international double cycles mutually promoting each other. It is necessary to tightly twist the main line of supply-side structural reform, pay attention to demand-side management, open up blocking points, and make up for shortcomings. Link production, distribution, circulation, and consumption to form a higher level of dynamic balance in which demand drives supply and supply creates demand, and enhance the overall effectiveness of the national economic system.

  After the supply-side structural reform was proposed in 2015, vigorous deleveraging, destocking, and capacity reduction began, and now it is proposed to "focus on demand-side management", which is bound to have a profound impact on the future economic structure.

  Fu Linghui, spokesperson for the National Bureau of Statistics, said that the current Chinese economy has entered a new stage of development. To build a new development pattern with the domestic cycle as the main body and the domestic and international dual cycles mutually promoting each other, a very important aspect is to insist on The domestic cycle is the main body.

To establish a domestic cycle as the mainstay and actively establish a complete domestic demand system, these are actually inseparable from expanding domestic demand and giving play to the fundamental role of consumption.

  Xu Hongcai, deputy director of the Economic Policy Committee of the Chinese Academy of Policy Sciences, told a reporter from Chinanews.com that due to the impact of the epidemic, there is still room for boosting current investment and consumer demand, focusing on demand-side management, and managing the total demand and structure. , Curb unreasonable demand such as extravagance and waste, conspicuous consumption, correctly guide demand, and loosen consumption from the restrictions of the five-flower tie, which will help release the consumption potential and improve the level and quality of consumption.

  Wen Bin, chief researcher of China Minsheng Bank, told a reporter from Chinanews.com that China has a population of 1.4 billion at present, and the market space is huge. The per capita GDP has exceeded 10,000 US dollars. There is still a lot of room for unleashing consumption potential. The key is to do a good job. The adjustment of the income distribution pattern will allow people to have money to consume, and at the same time improve the social security mechanism, solve the worries of education, pension, and medical care, improve the consumption environment, and let people dare to consume and willing to consume.

  According to the deployment of the conference, the most fundamental thing to expand consumption is to promote employment, improve social security, optimize income distribution structure, expand middle-income groups, and solidly promote common prosperity.

It is necessary to combine the expansion of consumption with the improvement of the people's quality of life.

Orderly cancel some administrative restrictions on consumer purchases, and fully tap the consumption potential of counties and townships.

It is necessary to rationally increase public consumption and improve the efficiency of public service expenditures such as education, medical care, elderly care, and childcare.

Do more unique skills

  The meeting proposed to enhance the independent controllability of the industrial supply chain.

The security and stability of the industrial chain and supply chain are the foundation for building a new development pattern.

It is necessary to coordinate the advancement of filling short boards and forging long boards, implement key core technology research projects for weak links in the industry, solve a number of "stuck neck" problems as soon as possible, and intensively cultivate and develop more unique skills in the areas of industrial advantage.

  The term "unique skill" is impressive.

Xu Hongcai said that this is China's realistic choice under the background of being "stuck" by foreign countries.

"Resolving a batch of "stuck neck" problems as soon as possible and creating more unique skills means that China has to find a new way and can no longer engage in large-scale goods, but pursues to create unique and distinctive things. This is the core competition of everyone. force."

  Wen Bin believes that my country has made great achievements in the field of science and technology, but there are still shortcomings in some key areas, such as chips. High-end chips, core components and other fields are restricted by others. This has become our industrial security and the construction of a new development pattern. Restrictive factors.

China has the foundation and strength to achieve breakthroughs in basic and key areas.

  The meeting also proposed to strengthen the national strategic scientific and technological strength.

It is necessary to give full play to the role of the state as an organizer of major scientific and technological innovation, adhere to the strategic demand orientation, determine the direction and focus of scientific and technological innovation, and focus on solving major problems that restrict national development and security.

  "Specifically, we need to do a good job in system and mechanism innovation, including a series of policy guidance such as basic investment, which will help us achieve a breakthrough in the problem of'stuck neck'. The security of science and technology has increased to the same height as the development of science and technology, and in the new stage , I can’t overemphasize the safety of technology.” Wen Bin said.

Strengthen anti-monopoly and prevent disorderly expansion of capital

  The meeting proposed to strengthen anti-monopoly and prevent the disorderly expansion of capital.

It is necessary to improve the legal standards for platform enterprise monopoly identification, data collection and use management, and consumer rights protection.

It is necessary to strengthen regulation, enhance supervision capabilities, and resolutely oppose monopoly and unfair competition.

Financial innovation must be carried out under the premise of prudential supervision.

  "Strengthening anti-monopoly and preventing the disorderly expansion of capital," which was also mentioned at the Politburo meeting held on December 11.

  Wen Bin said that with technological progress and the rapid development of the Internet economy, market resources are accelerating the concentration of leading platforms, but with the excessive concentration of resources, monopoly and unconstrained expansion have become more and more serious, exposing many hidden risks. Conducive to innovation, but not conducive to fair competition in the market.

  Xu Hongcai said that some platform companies use capital advantages to eliminate competitors, winners take all, shops bully customers, sit on the ground and raise prices, harming fair competition in the market. At the same time, big data is used to kill familiarity, to increase fees after binding members, and personal privacy is trafficked. The chaos damages the rights and interests of consumers, so it is necessary to strengthen anti-monopoly and prevent the disorderly expansion of capital, especially to control some platform companies.

  Recently, the state has made frequent moves.

In order to prevent and stop monopolistic behaviors in the Internet platform economy, the State Administration for Market Regulation issued in November the Anti-monopoly Guidelines on the Platform Economy (Draft for Comment); recently, Ali, Yuewen, and Fengchao failed to declare illegal operators The highest penalty was imposed on the concentration case, and the three companies were each fined 500,000 yuan.

  Huang Jin, deputy director of the International Economic Law Research Office of the Institute of International Law of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said that the central government has recently issued successive anti-monopoly policies and has repeatedly strengthened anti-monopoly statements, which indicates that the era of anti-monopoly "strong supervision" has arrived.

  In terms of housing, the meeting proposed to solve the outstanding problems of housing in big cities, and continued to emphasize "the positioning of the house to be used for living, not for speculation." At the same time, there is a lot of focus on renting.

  The meeting clarified that it is necessary to attach great importance to the construction of affordable rental housing, accelerate the improvement of long-term rental housing policies, gradually enable rental housing to have equal rights in enjoying public services, and standardize the development of the long-term rental housing market.

The supply of land should be tilted towards the construction of leased housing, the land use plan for leased housing should be listed separately, and the use of collective construction land and the idle land owned by enterprises and institutions should be explored to build leased housing. State-owned and private enterprises must play a functional role.

It is necessary to reduce the burden of rental housing taxes and fees, rectify the order of the rental market, standardize market behavior, and conduct reasonable adjustments to rent levels.

  "Reasonable regulation of rent levels is expected to be an important task for the rental market and real estate market in 2021." Yan Yuejin, research director of the Think Tank Center of E-House Research Institute, said a reporter from Chinanews.com. The follow-up guide price and increase for rent Etc. It is expected that local or local versions of relevant regulations will be issued.

  Zou Linhua, head of the housing big data project team of the Institute of Financial Strategy of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said that promoting the same rights of rent and purchase, reducing rental taxes, standardizing the development of long-term rental housing, and incorporating rent levels into regulation, etc., are all mentioned less, but very relevant. Currently realistic.

  Zhang Dawei, chief analyst of Centaline Property, believes that the leasing market has become a policy focus, and the thunderous second landlord leasing is expected to be strongly regulated.

"The biggest problem in the leasing market at present is that the second-landlord leasing model in some cities has gone off the road and thundered. For the market, a large number of leasing and renting houses will continue to be developed in the future, and the simultaneous development of rent and sale is the trend."

Determined to fight a turnaround in the seed industry

  "Solving the problem of seeds and arable land" is listed as one of the eight major tasks of China's economy next year.

The meeting proposed to strengthen the protection and utilization of germplasm resources and strengthen the construction of seed banks.

It is necessary to carry out the technical research of seed source "stuck neck", determined to fight a turnaround in the seed industry.

  The seed problem was highlighted by the Central Economic Work Conference, which is rare.

  Dang Guoying, a researcher at the Institute of Rural Development of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, told a reporter from Chinanews.com that seed technology is particularly important to agriculture and has a relatively large contribution to increasing production.

Seed monopoly is now relatively strong in the world, which means that the supplier has the final say in price.

China itself is a big agricultural country. The cultivation of fine seeds is a basic technology, and it should be mastered by yourself.

  Dang Guoying said that the current coverage rate of improved varieties in China is actually quite high, especially in terms of grains, which are mainly cultivated by our country, but there are indeed some seed sources that need to be imported, and this part requires technical research.

  “Seeds can be said to be agricultural chips. At present, the seeds are monopolized. China is heavily dependent on imports, which is not good for its own food security. It must be prepared in advance so that the rice bowl can be firmly placed in the hands of the Chinese.” Xu Hongcai said.

  Wan Jianmin, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and vice-president of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, told Chinanews.com that there are many sources in China that are still being "stuck". It is necessary to increase the research and development of seed industry technology and major product research and development to cultivate high-yield, High-quality, pest-resistant, salt-tolerant, and adaptable major new species of animals and plants will enhance food production capacity.

After all, food security is a major strategic demand of our country and the cornerstone of national security and stability.

  The meeting requested that the key to ensuring food security lies in implementing the strategy of storing grain on the ground and storing grain on technology.

It is necessary to strengthen the protection and utilization of germplasm resources and strengthen the construction of seed banks.

It is necessary to respect science, strict supervision, and orderly promote the industrial application of biological breeding.
