Enhance the independent controllability of the supply chain of the industrial chain (authoritative interview · take the first step, see the new weather ⑤)

——Interview with Xiao Yaqing, Minister of Industry and Information Technology

  2021 is a year of special importance in the process of my country's modernization drive, and it is of great significance to promote the smooth operation of the industrial economy.

How to enhance the independent controllability of the industrial chain and supply chain, better support the operation of the national economy in a reasonable range, and ensure a good start of the "14th Five-Year Plan"?

The reporter interviewed Xiao Yaqing, Minister of Industry and Information Technology.

Make up for shortcomings, forge longboards, strengthen enterprises, and enhance the independent controllability of the industrial supply chain

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

What is the current status of my country's industrial supply chain?

How to coordinate the advancement of supplementing short plates and forging long plates?

  Xiao Yaqing: General Secretary Xi Jinping attaches great importance to the development of the industrial chain and supply chain and issued a series of important instructions.

The "Recommendations" of the "14th Five-Year Plan" put forward the advancement of the industrial base and modernization of the industrial chain.

The Central Economic Work Conference called for strengthening the independent controllability of the industrial chain supply chain.

  my country is the world's largest manufacturing country, with an independent and complete industrial system and all industrial categories, with obvious industrial scale and supporting advantages, and the industrial chain supply chain has strong resilience.

At the same time, the supply chain of the industrial chain still has the problem of weak foundation and low level, some basic products and technologies are highly dependent on foreign countries, there is a risk of "stuck neck" in key links, and the supply of high-end products is insufficient.

These problems are the "hard bones" that we must gnaw down to build a manufacturing power.

  In the next step, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will focus on the advancement of the industrial base and the modernization of the industrial chain, focusing on three aspects:

  One is to make up for shortcomings.

Implement the industrial infrastructure reengineering project, focus on the weak links of the industry, and carry out engineering research on key basic technologies and products.

Strengthen key core technology research, lay out a number of national manufacturing innovation centers, increase the supply of industrial common technologies, and accelerate the transformation and industrialization of scientific and technological achievements.

  The second is forging long plates.

Promote high-end, intelligent, and green transformation and upgrading of traditional industries, accelerate the in-depth integration of a new generation of information technology and manufacturing, create an emerging industrial chain, focus on industrial advantages, and cultivate and build a number of advanced manufacturing clusters.

  The third is a strong enterprise.

We will implement various policies that benefit enterprises and stabilize enterprises, promote the optimization of the market environment, support large enterprises to become stronger and better, and cultivate a group of ecologically dominant industrial chain "chain master" enterprises.

Support small and medium-sized enterprises to improve their specialization capabilities, form a group of "specialized, special-new" small giant enterprises and single-sport champion enterprises in the manufacturing industry, and promote the integration and development of large and small enterprises.

Focus on key tasks of "financing and rights protection" to add vitality to small, medium and micro enterprises

  Reporter: In the epidemic prevention and control work, what benefits have been brought to small, medium and micro enterprises by the multiple policy "gifts" jointly launched by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and other departments?

What other measures will the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology take to promote the development of small, medium and micro enterprises in 2021?

  Xiao Yaqing: The Party Central Committee and the State Council have always attached great importance to the development of SMEs.

Since 2020, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has given full play to the coordination role of the Office of the State Council's Leading Group for Promoting the Development of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises, working with its member units to do two "subtractions" and two "additions" to help small and medium-sized enterprises overcome difficulties.

  One is to do a good job of "subtracting" taxes and fees.

Promote the implementation of phased reductions in corporate social insurance premiums, lower corporate electricity and gas prices, and rent reductions to reduce corporate burdens. It is expected that the scale of new tax and fee reductions in 2020 will exceed 2.5 trillion yuan.

  The second is to do a good job in the "subtraction" of arrears.

Increase the efforts to settle the debts owed by state-owned enterprises to private enterprises and small and medium-sized enterprises. From January to November 2020, a total of 184.1 billion yuan of debts in arrears will be settled nationwide.

  The third is to do a good job in credit "addition."

The implementation of policies such as the phased postponement of the repayment of principal and interest for loans to small, medium and micro enterprises, and the increase of credit loan support for small and micro enterprises have benefited more than 3.1 million enterprises.

In the first three quarters of 2020, the balance of inclusive small and micro loans reached 14.6 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 29.6%.

  The fourth is to do a good job of service "addition."

From January to November 2020, the public service system for small and medium-sized enterprises in various regions held more than 80,000 service events, carried out more than 6.3 million services, and served more than 57 million enterprises.

  Driven by various business-benefit policies, SMEs have overcome the impact of the epidemic and accelerated their recovery and development.

From January to November 2020, the total profits of small and medium-sized industrial enterprises above designated size across the country increased by 6.9% year-on-year, achieving positive cumulative growth for 4 consecutive months.

  In the next step, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will conscientiously implement the spirit of the Central Economic Work Conference, give full play to the role of the office of the leading group for promoting the development of SMEs at all levels, and focus on the three areas of “policy, environment, and service” and focus on “financing and rights protection” The key work is to achieve the goal of improving the professional ability and level of SMEs.

  One is to pay close attention to policy implementation and optimization of the environment and services.

Deepen the third-party assessment of the development environment of small and medium enterprises, improve the integrated public service platform for small and medium enterprises, improve the voluntary service system for small and medium enterprises, and further cultivate the national public service demonstration platform for small and medium enterprises and the demonstration base for entrepreneurship and innovation of small and micro enterprises.

  The second is to strengthen financing services and rights protection.

Strengthen the connection between government, banks and enterprises, deepen the integration of production, research and improve the policy of reducing fees and subsidies for small and micro enterprise financing guarantee services, and strengthen the policy guidance for the national SME development fund.

Implement the regulations on guaranteeing payment for small and medium enterprises to prevent new defaults.

  The third is to implement a project to enhance the professional capabilities of SMEs.

Improve the high-quality enterprise gradient cultivation system, strive to pass 3-5 years, select and announce 10,000 "specialized, special new" small giant enterprises, cultivate 100,000 provincial-level "specialized, special new" small and medium-sized enterprises, and drive the incubation of millions of innovations Small and medium-sized enterprises.

  The fourth is to promote financing innovation for large and small enterprises.

Implement special actions for innovation and promotion of enterprise management and special actions for digital empowerment of SMEs.

Promote the cooperation between leading enterprises and "specialized, special and innovative" small and medium-sized enterprises, and accelerate the formation of a facilitating and innovative industry ecosystem featuring innovation collaboration, capacity sharing, and supply chain interoperability.
