　　In the words of Liu Yuanchun, the vice president of Renmin University of China, the Central Economic Work Conference has never been so intense in science and technology strategy in the past, which shows that China has placed technological innovation at the core of strategic support.

　　Tang Jianwei, chief researcher of the Financial Research Center of Bank of Communications, noted that in the official news of this conference, "technology" and "innovation" were mentioned 30 times in total, far exceeding the 16 times last year. This shows that the central government attaches great importance to technology and innovation. .

　　Observations also found that the meeting put forward “adhere to strategic demand orientation” and “play the main role of enterprises in technological innovation”, and put more emphasis on increasing strength from the perspective of demand, creating a collaborative model for innovative scientific and technological research, and solving the “stuck neck” problem.

　　Shen Jianguang, chief economist of JD Digital, predicts that during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, China's requirements for the assessment and support of scientific research investment will be significantly increased, and the new generation of information technology, semiconductors, new energy, medical and medical fields will become the main focus.

Tighter development security relations

　　"Better coordinate development and security", "Efforts to solve major problems that restrict national development and security", "Grasp the two major issues of development and security"... At the Central Economic Work Conference, the number of terms "development" and "security" Simultaneously appearing, closely connected.

　　At the specific work level, the deployment of “enhancing the independent controllability of the supply chain of the industrial chain”, “solving the problems of seeds and arable land,” all directly pointed to some development security risks exposed by the epidemic.

　　Wen Bin, chief researcher of China Minsheng Bank, believes that the completeness of China's domestic industry and the completeness of the industrial system are essential to minimize external influences and achieve sustained and healthy economic development.

To this end, it is necessary to coordinate the advancement of supplementing short boards and forging long boards, tackling key core technologies, implementing industrial infrastructure reengineering projects, optimizing the industrial chain supply chain development environment, and strengthening element support.

　　“Guaranteeing food security is of practical and strategic significance, and long-term dependence on imports will be led by people”, Tang Jianwei reminded, especially under the anticipation of unstable global food production and supply, China must focus on the implementation of storing grain on the ground and storing grain on technology. , To build a national food safety industrial belt, protect seed safety, and maintain food supply security.

More accurate matching of supply and demand

　　While "tightening the main line of supply-side structural reforms", demand-side management has also been put on the agenda of China's economic work.

　　In the view of Lian Ping, chairman of the China Chief Economist Forum, the central government's move has made it clear that the core of the new development pattern is the transformation and upgrading of the supply-side industrial structure and the expansion of domestic demand on the demand side, which improves the degree of matching between supply and demand.

　　As he said, around the main line of supply-side structural reform in the medium and long term, there must be demand-side management that matches it.

Wen Bin pointed out that the timely start of mid-to-long-term demand side management will help alleviate the current mismatch between supply and demand, forming an effect that affects the whole body, thereby providing specific "operational guidelines" for the expansion of domestic demand strategy.

　　Under this tone, the analysis believes that next year, China will highlight effective investment on the investment side and stimulate the investment vitality of the whole society. The investment in the "two new and one heavy" fields is worth looking forward to; on the consumer side, it will promote employment and optimize the income distribution structure. Work as the basis to promote consumption upgrades and increase consumption capacity.

More stringent market fairness requirements

　　"Strengthening anti-monopoly and preventing the disorderly expansion of capital", the expression that first appeared in the list of key economic tasks in the coming year has also attracted much attention.

This means that the official requirements for creating a fair competitive market environment will be stricter.

　　Lian Ping said that the great significance of this move is reflected in: First, the "building a high-standard market system" proposed by the Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China has further deepened and enriched; It is of practical significance; the third is that anti-monopoly helps protect the rights and interests of consumers and further promote consumption.

　　Under this task, the official also emphasized that "financial innovation must be carried out under the premise of prudential supervision."

Tang Jianwei said frankly that in recent years, financial innovation models represented by financial technology have emerged one after another. While helping finance better serve the real economy, it also breeds potential risks due to rapid innovation.

From a long-term perspective, it is clear that financial innovation must be conducive to promoting the healthy development of financial technology under the premise of supervision.
