(Economic Observation) How will China's "stabilizing chain and ensuring smooth" make more efforts in the second half of the year?

  China News Service, Beijing, August 4th (Liu Wenwen) Since the beginning of this year, Chinese officials have continued to make efforts to deploy a number of measures to ensure the safety and stability of the industrial chain and supply chain, and to smooth the economic cycle.

The Politburo meeting of the CPC Central Committee held recently released a clear signal, pointing out the direction for China's work of "stabilizing the chain and ensuring smooth" in the second half of the year.

The resilience of the supply chain of the industrial chain shows

  Since March this year, due to the spread of the domestic epidemic, some areas have experienced problems such as restricted movement of people, obstruction of cross-regional logistics, and poor port dredging, which have had a certain impact on the stable operation of the industrial chain and supply chain in some areas and key areas.

  To this end, the Chinese government has continued to make efforts to deploy a number of measures to clear the stuck points and smooth the economic cycle.

For example, establish a "red, yellow and blue" early warning mechanism; supervise the construction and activation of material transfer stations in relevant localities; establish and dynamically adjust the "white list" system of key enterprises, and promote the orderly resumption of production and production of key industrial chains and key enterprises...

  With the steady implementation of a series of policies, the "dual chain" has achieved an overall stable operation, demonstrating strong resilience: the industrial chain has been continuously repaired, the upstream and downstream needs of the supply chain have been released, and the logistics accessibility, guarantee capabilities and logistics timeliness have improved.

  Although the current "double chain" resilience is emerging, it should be noted that the external environment is still complex and changeable, and the circulation of the industrial chain and supply chain is still blocked.

To this end, the Politburo meeting of the CPC Central Committee made it clear that it is necessary to improve the stability of the industrial chain and supply chain and international competitiveness, smooth transportation and logistics, optimize the layout of the domestic industrial chain, and support the central and western regions to improve infrastructure and business environment.

  Fu Baozong, director and researcher of the Industrial Office of the Industrial Institute of the China Academy of Macroeconomics, told a reporter from China News Agency that at present, the international and domestic situation is complex and changeable, and multiple unexpected factors have impacted China's industrial chain and supply chain. Breakpoints and blocking points appear in some important links, inhibiting the circulation efficiency of the industrial chain and supply chain, posing a threat to the stability of the economic market and the sustainable and healthy development. It is urgent to target key links and focus on solving pain points and difficulties.

  Cai Zhibing, associate professor of the Economics Teaching and Research Department of the Central Party School (National School of Administration), said in an interview with a reporter from China News Agency that from a short-term perspective, smooth transportation and logistics is the key to ensuring the continuous dynamic circulation of the industrial chain and supply chain. , if the continuous and stable circulation of the industrial chain and supply chain can be ensured, it will be of great significance to the domestic and international economic and industrial circulation.

From a long-term perspective, smooth transportation and logistics is an inevitable prerequisite for building a unified national market, which can lay a solid foundation for the scale upgrade and efficiency improvement of the industrial chain and supply chain.

  Fu Baozong said that the central and western regions are late-developing regions and potential areas for future growth.

Supporting the central and western regions to speed up the improvement of infrastructure and business environment is conducive to improving the level of coordination between the eastern, central and western regions. Combined with the construction of a unified national market, it will continue to release the huge potential of the super-large domestic demand market.

  Cai Zhibing further analyzed that compared with the eastern region, the infrastructure and business environment in some central and western regions are "depressed".

If the level of infrastructure and business environment in the central and western regions cannot be improved rapidly, it will affect the production of labor-intensive industries in the eastern region that already lack comparative advantages in these regions, thereby affecting the integrity of China's industrial chain and ultimately impacting competitiveness.

How will the "chain stabilization" gain momentum in the second half of the year?

  Looking forward to the second half of the year, Fu Baozong believes that in the next step, on the basis of doing a good job in epidemic prevention and control, it is necessary to take the enterprise as the starting point, think about what the enterprise thinks, and worry about the urgency of the enterprise, further strengthen cross-regional coordination, and strengthen the supply chain of the industry. Link upstream and downstream linkages.

  In Cai Zhibing's view, we must adhere to the combination of the three.

  First, the short-term "supplement" chain is combined with the long-term "extension" chain.

In the short term, a supplementary chain plan should be formulated for the current shortcomings of the industrial chain and supply chain.

In the long run, on the basis of ensuring the integrity of the current industrial chain and supply chain, we should promote the extension of the industrial chain supply chain to the upstream and downstream links.

  Second, the "solid" cost chain is combined with the "strong" technology chain.

Controlling or even reducing costs is an important means to improve the stability and competitiveness of the industrial chain and supply chain.

At the same time, we must pay attention to the role of technical factors in enhancing the stability and competitiveness of the industrial chain and supply chain, and maximize the technological content and international competitiveness of the entire industrial chain and supply chain.

  Third, the internal "support" chain is combined with the external "promoting" chain.

It is necessary to fully release and utilize the advantages of the domestic super-large-scale market. At the same time, we must also attach great importance to the promotion of external forces on the domestic industrial chain and supply chain, and increase the sense of crisis and competition in the domestic industrial chain and supply chain.
