Under the background of economic recovery, how should foreign trade enterprises seize the opportunity to expand the market?
With the optimization of the epidemic prevention and control policy, many foreign trade companies have taken advantage of the policy to make full use of it, increase capital and expand production, and seize opportunities to expand the market.
The reporter saw in Ningbo, Zhejiang, that some foreign trade companies worked overtime to catch up with orders, and plans to increase capital and expand production were also put on the agenda; the government departments delivered policies in time, and the companies were very confident.
In the factory area of a door and window accessories company in Ningbo, a batch of accessories to be sent to Saudi Arabia is being loaded. This is the order brought back by Ding Yandong, the general manager of the company, who participated in the chartered flight "going to sea" organized by the Zhejiang Provincial Department of Commerce a month ago. This On New Year's Day, the workers only had one day off, and they worked overtime to catch up.

Authoritative interview: Guaranteeing the elements of resources and promoting the overall improvement of economic operation
How can various natural resource elements contribute to high-quality economic development?
Natural resources are the material basis, space carrier and energy source of economic and social development.
In the new year, how to ensure that various natural resource elements contribute to high-quality economic development and promote the construction of a beautiful China?
In this regard, CCTV reporters from the main station interviewed Wang Guanghua, Minister of Natural Resources.
Wang Guanghua said that since 2022, in the face of the impact of unexpected factors at home and abroad, in order to implement the decision-making and deployment of the Party Central Committee on stabilizing the economic market, the Ministry of Natural Resources has successively issued a series of protection policies for land use and sea use.
Including speeding up the preparation of land and space planning at all levels to provide a basis for spatial planning for the implementation of major construction projects; speeding up the approval of land use and sea use, supporting the real economy and related industries to reduce the cost of land use; on the premise of keeping the bottom line of cultivated land and ecology, ensuring The demand for land and sea use in various places, in conjunction with relevant fiscal and financial control policies, has effectively guaranteed the implementation of a large number of major projects and promoted the stable economic development.
Wang Guanghua, Minister of Natural Resources: Adhere to the land element following the project, and enhance the pertinence of land use planning and arrangement.
In the past, as long as there were good projects, there was land.
Now resources are limited, so we don’t need to use as much as we want. We need to change from the past resource guarantee type to the current resource constraint type, and use limited resources to meet larger-scale development.
The effects of various policies that have been introduced so far are showing, and many projects will be fully launched this year, which will play a very important role in stabilizing growth.
Wang Guanghua introduced that this year, the Ministry of Natural Resources will conscientiously implement the major deployments determined by the Central Economic Work Conference, continuously optimize the protection policy of natural resource elements, and coordinate efforts with macroeconomic policies to promote the overall recovery of economic operation.

Prioritize the use of sea for major projects and livelihood projects.
Promote the reform of "decentralization, management and service" of land use approval authority, so that provincial governments have greater autonomy.
Expert Interpretation: How to stabilize the economy and strengthen confidence now that the positive signal is now?
Through the positive information conveyed by multiple departments and industries at the beginning of the new year, we can already feel that the pace of China's economic recovery is gradually accelerating.
Now that the positive signals have emerged, how should we stabilize the economy and strengthen confidence?
Let's listen to the interpretation of Dong Yu, Executive Vice President of the China Development Planning Research Institute of Tsinghua University.
Dong Yu, executive vice president of the China Development Planning Research Institute of Tsinghua University: The confidence and expectations of this year come from the optimization of the epidemic control policy, and also from the Central Economic Work Conference's unwavering adherence to the two, and the support for the confidence of market players.
We can see that the Central Economic Work Conference has particularly emphasized the need to firmly develop the private economy in terms of policy and public opinion, so that the platform economy can further show its talents. These are closely related to the difficulties and challenges that have emerged in some enterprises and the platform economy in the past few years.
Many of the problems of weakening expectations and lack of confidence encountered in the current development are reflected in the private economy and in small, medium and micro enterprises.
The Central Economic Work Conference emphasizes optimizing the development environment of private enterprises, which will also play a very important guiding role in building confidence and improving expectations throughout the year.
At the same time, the central government has made a series of new deployments in expanding reform and opening up. For example, this year, it has placed special emphasis on attracting and utilizing foreign capital. On the one hand, it will continue to leverage the advantages of my country's super-large-scale market to attract global resource elements through domestic circulation.
On the other hand, by creating a first-class business environment that is market-oriented, ruled by law, and internationalized, more foreign-funded enterprises are willing to vote with their feet, to come to China, to stay in China, and to share the opportunities of China's development.
These will play a very positive role in promoting the overall operation of China's economy from different perspectives of internal circulation and external circulation.
