The Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China held a meeting on March 4 to study the current priorities for the prevention and control of the new crown pneumonia epidemic and the stabilization of economic and social operations. This is the sixth special session of the Politburo Standing Committee on the prevention and control of the epidemic since the outbreak.
Experts here believe that on the basis of precise analysis of "time" and "potential", the conference will "re-enter" the epidemic prevention and control and promote economic and social development, and further improve the "dialectics" of prevention and control and development.
"Often" and "Change"-Two "Cannot Decrease"
At the meeting, Xi Jinping, general secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, pointed out that "the situation of the epidemic prevention and control situation has continued to improve and the production and living order has been accelerated." The increase in the spread of epidemic risk is increasing. Strengthening the prevention and control of the epidemic must be carried out with due care. The vigilance against the epidemic cannot be reduced, and the requirements for prevention and control cannot be reduced. "
Xi Jinping ’s “continued improvement”, “accelerated recovery”, and “increasing risks” represent higher-level understanding of the stages, development trends, and laws of epidemic prevention and control. It is based on research and judgment based on knowledge. Xue Lan, a professor at the School of Public Management at Tsinghua University, said that from the perspective of dialectics, these assertions reflect both the "chang" side and the "change" side, and are the dialectical unity of "chang" and "change".
"People are still constantly learning about the characteristics of the new crown virus, and the situation in Hubei and Wuhan is still complicated. Recently, some overseas imported cases have appeared in various places, which indicates that epidemic prevention and control must not be relaxed, otherwise there will be no success. "Can not be lowered," the prevention and control will not be repeated, do not go back. "Xue Lan said.
Xi Jinping pointed out in particular that "it is necessary to deepen international cooperation in epidemic prevention and control and to play the role of China's responsible great power." This deployment is related to the progress of the global new crown pneumonia epidemic. According to reports, as of 12:00 Beijing time on the 5th, in addition to China, a total of 14,942 cases have been confirmed in 78 countries, with a total of 268 deaths.
Ruan Zongze, executive vice president of the China Academy of International Studies, believes that public health issues represented by the epidemic have become a global common challenge, and China once again makes it clear that the attitude of "deepening international cooperation in epidemic prevention and control" is very important. From the perspective of the spread of the epidemic, no matter whether it is neighbours, locked doors or closed doors, or people who are in danger, down the road, or unilateralism or isolationism, "unity" is the only option to finally overcome the epidemic.
"Shou" and "Offensive" —— Focus on the most urgent issues
This meeting made special arrangements for the "epidemic" of scientific and technological warfare, called for greater scientific research, focused on the most urgent problems, continued to strengthen the research on virus traceability and transmission mechanisms, and research and development of pharmaceutical vaccines, testing reagents, and medical equipment. It should be closely integrated with clinical treatment, coordinated with the front line of prevention and control, strengthen basic medical research such as pathology, and better guide clinical practice.
Professor Chang Jian of Zhou Enlai School of Government and Management, Nankai University said that Xi Jinping requested to “overcome the key and difficult issues of epidemic prevention and control as soon as possible” when he inspected the scientific research of new crown pneumonia in Beijing on the 2nd. Tackling this problem highlights the urgency of this issue.
He said that in the early days of epidemic prevention and control, people based on existing knowledge and using existing methods to fight the epidemic, and were more "defensive" in fighting against viruses. With the increasing number of low-risk counties, all localities and departments can and should free up more energy and concentrate more high-quality resources to launch scientific research "offensives" to find out the core problems related to the epidemic and fight the epidemic in a more efficient way. Is the "strategic solution."
"From the perspective of the world or China, there is no real" weapon "that can effectively respond to the epidemic, and the development of vaccines and effective drugs is imminent. Strengthen the research on the source and transmission mechanism of the virus, and strengthen basic medical research such as pathology. It is even more important, not only for people to understand and understand the new crown virus, but also to learn from the others, to lay the foundation for understanding the mechanism of similar viruses, and to strengthen the defense force against infectious diseases. "Xue Lan said.
"Danger" and "Opportunity"-Hedging the adverse effects of the epidemic
The meeting also made arrangements for the accurate and orderly promotion of resumption of production and production. Experts believe that many specific measures and methods focus on “turning crisis into opportunity” and “seeking opportunities in crisis” to hedge against the adverse effects of the epidemic on economic and social development and minimize losses.
For example, the meeting emphasized the need to combine the resumption of work and production with the expansion of domestic demand, to foster new types of consumption and upgrade consumption that have been promoted in epidemic prevention and control, and to make up for physical consumption and service consumption.
Analysis believes that the "home economy" that was born out of the epidemic is expected to further grow and supplement physical consumption. For example, more and more physical supermarkets and shopping malls are launching various online applets urgently, or transforming to "home services" through takeaway platforms; "contactless" consumption such as online medical care and unmanned retailing is popular; consumers are immune to Expenditure on health and other health-related consumer spending has risen, and such spending will extend to offline.
As another example, the meeting called for accelerating the construction of new infrastructure such as 5G networks and data centers. Xue Lan believes that the advantages of information technology, including drone patrols and video online courses, have played a huge role in responding to the epidemic. The related deployment of the conference aims to further explore the potential of the digital economy and provide "double assistance" for epidemic prevention and control and resumption of production ".
As another example, the meeting pointed out that it is necessary to promote the resumption of work and production in the expansion of opening up. Actively assist foreign-funded enterprises in resolving difficulties in returning to work and production, continue to grasp the landing of landmark major foreign-funded projects, and expand the opening of the financial and other service industries to the outside world.
Xue Lan said that China introduced a series of measures to speed up opening to the outside world last year, and some of these measures have been hit by the epidemic before they have actually taken effect. The measures to expand opening to the outside world not only help to "digest" the adverse effects of the epidemic, but also show that China's open attitude is consistent and it will not resort to protectionism due to temporary difficulties.
