It has written a new chapter in the political economy of socialism with Chinese characteristics, enriched and developed Xi Jinping’s economic thoughts on socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era, and became the fundamental follow and action guide for doing economic work well. It also clarified the direction and ideas for doing well next year’s economic work. .

The "14th Five-Year Plan" has a good start: the fundamentals will not change in the long-term

  In 2021, my country will calmly respond to the changes in the past century and the epidemic in the century, take new steps to build a new development pattern, achieve new results in high-quality development, and achieve a good start to the "14th Five-Year Plan".

  In Han Wenxiu’s view, the hard-won achievements are manifested in six aspects: economic development and epidemic prevention and control maintain a global leading position; national strategic scientific and technological forces have accelerated; the resilience of the industrial chain has been improved; reform and opening up are deepened; and people’s livelihood protection is strong. Effective; the construction of ecological civilization continues to advance.

  Han Wenxiu said that some institutions, experts and scholars now predict that my country’s GDP will increase by about 8% this year, totaling more than 110 trillion yuan, and the per capita GDP is expected to exceed 12,000 US dollars, which is close to the high set by the World Bank. Income country threshold.

The increase in consumer prices was less than 1%, more than 12 million new jobs were created in urban areas, and the surveyed unemployment rate in cities and towns across the country remained at a relatively low level of around 5%.

"It can be said that an optimized combination of higher growth, lower inflation and more employment has been achieved."

  While fully affirming the achievements, we must also see that the difficulties and challenges facing my country's economic operation have increased.

From a domestic perspective, economic development is faced with the triple pressure of demand shrinking, supply shocks, and weakening expectations. There are problems such as coal shortages, power shortages, core shortages, cabinets, and labor shortages. From an international perspective, under the impact of the epidemic in the century, the changes in the past century have accelerated evolution. , The external environment has become more complex, severe and uncertain.

  "We must face up to the difficulties, but also strengthen our confidence." Han Wenxiu said that my country's economic development has many favorable conditions, with strong economic resilience, great potential, a complete industrial system, abundant human resources, convenient infrastructure, and a strong domestic economy. The market, the surging market vitality, sufficient policy space, especially the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee, and the wisdom and experience of a century of struggle, "my country's sustained economic recovery and development will not change, and the fundamentals of long-term improvement will not change."

"Four Musts": The knowledge of the law of doing economic work continues to accumulate

  The Central Economic Work Conference pointed out that in the practice of responding to risks and challenges, we have further accumulated an understanding of the regularity of doing economic work well.

  "We must adhere to the centralized and unified leadership of the Party Central Committee", ranking first.

Han Wenxiu said that this year's economic work has encountered many new major challenges. The key is that under the centralized and unified leadership of the Party Central Committee, all regions and departments can move forward in unison, so that we can overcome perilous beaches, overcome difficulties, and stabilize the overall situation.

  "We must insist on high-quality development"-Han Wenxiu said that insisting on focusing on economic construction is the requirement of the party's basic line, and the whole party must concentrate on implementing it.

The development of the new era cannot wear new shoes and follow the old path. It must fully, accurately and fully implement the new development concept, build a new development pattern, and promote high-quality development.

  "We must persist in seeking progress while maintaining stability"-Han Wenxiu said that economic operation is a dynamic process. We must grasp the timeliness of policy adjustments and promote reforms, insist on standing first and then breaking through, steadily and steadily, and maintain strategic determination and patience. Do not make long-term goals short-term, fragment system goals, and do not turn protracted warfare into assault warfare.

  "It is necessary to strengthen overall coordination"-Han Wenxiu pointed out that economic and social development is a complex and interconnected system.

It is necessary to prevent the occurrence of "composite fallacy" and avoid the superposition of partial reasonable policies to cause negative effects; also to prevent "decomposition fallacy", to avoid simplification of the overall task, and not to add layers to it, making it unbearable for the grassroots.

Steady word at the head: Adhere to the general tone of the work of seeking progress while maintaining stability

  "'Stability' is the most prominent key word of this year's Central Economic Work Conference." Han Wenxiu said that 25 words "stable" appeared in the conference news draft. Seek advancement".

  The meeting put forward seven major policies to do well next year’s economic work: macroeconomic policies must be stable and effective; micropolicies must continue to stimulate the vitality of market players; structural policies must focus on smoothing the national economic cycle; scientific and technological policies must be firmly implemented; reform and opening policies must activate development momentum ; Regional policies must enhance the balance and coordination of development; social policies must hold the bottom line of people’s livelihood.

  Han Wenxiu said that all regions and departments must shoulder the responsibility of stabilizing the macro economy. This is not only an economic issue, but also a political issue.

All parties must actively introduce policies that are conducive to economic stability, and cautiously introduce policies that have a shrinking effect. Policy efforts must be appropriately advanced, and strive to achieve a stable start to the economy next year and good development.

  When talking about macro policies, Han Wenxiu said that next year's macro policies should be stable and effective, and continue to implement a proactive fiscal policy and a prudent monetary policy.

"Steady" means to maintain policy continuity, stability, and sustainability, and "effective" means to improve the pertinence, operability, and usefulness of policies, resist economic downward pressure, and make the "six stability" stable. "Six guarantees" can be kept.

  Micro-subjects have a fundamental role in macroeconomic stability, and are the beneficiaries and "checkers" of policy effects.

Han Wenxiu said that micro-policies should continue to stimulate the vitality of market entities, such as increasing the value-added tax credit and rebate, implementing accelerated depreciation of fixed assets, etc., and strengthening the protection of property rights and intellectual property rights, and effectively managing malicious defaults and malicious evasion of debts. And other behaviors to create a good environment for enterprises to compete for development.

Based on the present, focus on the future: Correctly understand and grasp the five key issues

  In response to the many new issues facing my country’s development in the new stage of development, the meeting proposed to correctly understand and grasp five major theoretical and practical issues, involving the strategic goals and practical approaches to achieve common prosperity, the characteristics and behavioral laws of capital, and the supply of primary products. , Preventing and resolving major risks, carbon peak and carbon neutrality, etc.

  How can the path of common prosperity go?

Han Wenxiu said that common prosperity is a long-term process that requires the people of the whole country to work hard for a long time.

It is necessary to make the "cake" bigger and better through high-quality development, and cut and divide the "cake" through reasonable institutional arrangements.

To make good use of the third distribution role, it is necessary to support willing and capable companies and social groups to actively participate in public welfare and charity, but not to engage in moral kidnapping-style "forcing donations."

  The meeting proposed to set "traffic lights" for capital.

Han Wenxiu said that under the conditions of a socialist market economy, how to play the positive role of capital and restrain its negative role is not in the classic works of Marx and Lenin, and the Soviet Union did not encounter the planned economy. This is a brand-new subject facing our party.

Capital is profit-seeking. It is necessary to strengthen the effective supervision of capital in accordance with the law to prevent the barbaric growth of capital, but also to support and guide the standardized and healthy development of capital.

"To curb the disorderly expansion of capital, it is not about avoiding capital, but for the orderly development of capital."

  How to guarantee the supply of primary products?

Han Wenxiu said that the supply of primary products must prevent major gaps from turning into "gray rhino" incidents, especially food security must not be missed. Chinese people's jobs must be firmly in their hands at all times.

We must insist on giving priority to conservation, implement a comprehensive conservation strategy, and enhance domestic resource production guarantee capabilities.

  Speaking of preventing and resolving major risks, Han Wenxiu said that we must increase our awareness of danger, establish a bottom-line thinking, and continue to follow the principles of stabilizing the overall situation, overall coordination, categorized policy implementation, and precise bomb disposal. Responsibilities of industry leaders and other parties should consolidate the main responsibility of the enterprise for self-rescue and promote the effective resolution of risks.

  How to advance carbon neutrality?

Han Wenxiu said that the "carbon charge" and "exercise carbon reduction" problems that have appeared in actual work do not meet the requirements of the Party Central Committee.

Achieving carbon peaks and carbon neutrality is a complex project and a long-term task. The goal must be unswerving, the strategy must be steady, and the basic national conditions such as the domestic energy structure and industrial structure must be fully considered. It cannot affect the overall economic and social development.

  "Five major theoretical and practical issues are not only important practical issues that must be faced and resolved at the moment, but they are also forward-looking, strategic and long-term." Han Wenxiu said.
