Promoting the development of private economy, inspiration from a county

　　In 2023, the private economy contributed nearly 70% of the province's regional GDP, 70.6% of tax revenue, more than 70% of scientific and technological innovation achievements, more than 80% of urban labor employment, and 94% of the number of enterprises...

　　Recently, Fujian Province showed this private economic report card during the provincial two sessions.

　　At the beginning of every year, the local two sessions will become a window for the outside world to gain insight into China’s economic direction. Compared with the "56,789" contribution pattern of the national private economy, the characteristics of Fujian's private economy are "77,789", which is quite eye-catching.

When talking about Fujian and the private economy, we have to mention a landmark city - Jinjiang, Fujian.

　　On the first working day of this year, the National Development and Reform Commission organized a conference on innovative development "Jinjiang Experience" to promote high-quality development of the private economy in Jinjiang. The "First Meeting of the New Year" was held in a county-level city, which has obvious directional significance.

　　In the development process of China's private economy, Jinjiang is indeed a sample worthy of analysis.

　　You may not know that Jinjiang is a county with only more than 700 square kilometers, but you must have heard of

Anta, Panpan, Septwolves, Hengan, Jinba Men's Wear, Hongxing Erke, Jiumu Wang, Xtep, Jordan, Guireniao, 361°, Delhui, Jinjiang Lake, Xidelong...

　　Yes, these well-known national brands all come from Jinjiang.

　　More than 20 years ago, when General Secretary Xi Jinping was working in Fujian, he discovered Jinjiang, a very representative sample. Through in-depth investigation and thinking, he concluded that "six consistent persistence" and "correct handling of five major relationships" should be the main The connotation of "Jinjiang Experience".

　　According to Zhang Zhanbin, director of the Chinese Modernization Research Center of the Central Party School (National School of Administration), the core connotation of the "Jinjiang Experience" is development, especially vigorously developing the county economy, vigorously developing the private economy, vigorously developing the real economy, and relying on development to achieve common prosperity. .

In the past 20 years, the GDP of Jinjiang region has increased from 27.7 billion yuan in 2002 to 320.7 billion yuan in 2022, making it one of the most active regions in the country's private economy, which is equivalent to recreating 10 Jinjiangs in 20 years.

　　In a sense, the history of Jinjiang's achievements in reform and opening up is the history of entrepreneurship of private enterprises. Jinjiang's leap-forward development in the past 20 years demonstrates that the "Jinjiang experience" is still of great value in promoting the development of the private economy today.

　　In 2023, China's economy will show a recovery trend, the economic growth rate will achieve the expected target, and the structural optimization will show many new highlights. But at the same time, it must be noted that at present, the phenomenon of unstable expectations and weak confidence of business entities still exists. In the public opinion field, arguments such as "leaving the market" and "the state advances and the people retreat" appear from time to time.

　　Clearing up the fog and boosting confidence requires a bright attitude, and more importantly, practical and hard measures.

　　In July last year, the "Opinions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council on Promoting the Development and Growth of the Private Economy", known as the "31 Measures for the Private Economy", was announced. Among the 31 measures, which are all practical, "continuous innovation and development of the 'Jinjiang Experience'" was written in.

　　Wei Chu, deputy dean of the School of Applied Economics at Renmin University of China, believes that under the current background of China's strong support for the development of the private economy, it is very necessary to revisit the "Jinjiang Experience". This is to find breakthroughs based on the successful practices of the past. The degree of private economic development in various parts of China is high or low, and the speed is fast or slow. It is necessary to flexibly apply the "Jinjiang experience" according to the time and place.

　　As long as development and reform are on the road, the "Jinjiang experience" will not fade. To sum up, the current inheritance, promotion, innovation and development of the "Jinjiang Experience" mainly depends on grasping its four essences:

The first is to attach importance to the development of private economy.

It is necessary to improve the policy system, promote judicial justice, effectively protect the property rights, innovation rights and independent management rights of private enterprises, and give enterprises clear directions and stable expectations.

The second is to attach importance to the development of the real economy.

We should regard the real economy as the focus of economic development, rely on the resource endowment structure and comparative advantages, scientifically choose the direction of industrial development, and strive to make the industry excellent, distinctive and large-scale. Low profit margins are an important factor restricting the development of the real economy. It is necessary to promote the accumulation of various resource factors into the real economy and increase the profit margins of the real economy.

The third is to attach importance to innovation and development.

An important aspect of "Jinjiang Experience" is technological innovation. Encourage, support, and guide private enterprises to play their main role in innovation and comprehensively strengthen original innovation, product innovation, business model innovation, and management innovation.

The fourth is to properly handle the relationship between the government and the market.

The "Jinjiang Experience" emphasizes the insistence on market-oriented economic development and always requires strengthening the government's guidance and services for the development of market economy.

　　Last year, Fujian introduced 2,280 private enterprise manufacturing projects, private manufacturing investment increased by 8.1%, and 1.128 million newly registered private business entities increased by 9.1%.

　　At the end of last year, Jinjiang put forward eight key tasks when deploying its work in 2024. The first one was to "take new industrialization as a breakthrough and accelerate the construction of a strong private economic city in China": promoting more than 900 high-tech enterprises and more than 100 specialized and special new enterprises. There are more than 200 domestic and new enterprises, and more than 200 small technology giant companies...

　　Jinjiang has recreated 10 of its own in 20 years and is still exploring new experiences.

　　Look at the whole situation from a corner. Why is "Jinjiang Experience" effective? Why is Fujian's private economy so successful? How to promote the development of China's private economy?

　　The inspiration from a county is concrete and vivid.
