(Closer look at China) Xi Jinping's Zhejiang trip releases extraordinary signals

China News Agency, Beijing, April 1 (Zhang Ziyang, Huang Yuqin) Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee, State President, and Chairman of the Central Military Commission, recently visited Zhejiang Province, China's most active private economy.

This is the second time Xi Jinping has left Beijing for a local investigation after the Lunar New Year this year. As the situation of domestic epidemic prevention and control continues to improve, analysis shows that unlike the trip to Wuhan, Xi Jinping's trip has released that China will accelerate the restoration of production and living order, and accelerate the resumption of work and production without easing epidemic prevention and control. This is a clear signal, which also shows that China is trying to get everything back to its original rhythm.

——Change the “battlefield” according to the situation and make clear the main attack direction

On March 10, Xi Jinping went to Wuhan City, Hubei Province to inspect the epidemic prevention and control work, and commanded and deployed the war epidemic on the "frontline". Today, with the background of major new changes in epidemic prevention and control and the economic situation at home and abroad, Xi Jinping quickly switched to the "battlefield" and went to the southeast coastal area to investigate and resume production.

"During the fight against the new crown pneumonia epidemic, different industries and companies have been affected to some extent." "This investigation is also to listen to everyone's opinions." During the investigation, Xi Jinping emphasized this in Zhejiang.

"Before the introduction of major policies, I went to the field to conduct field research. This is also the valuable governance experience formed by the ruling party over the years. As a top leader, how to direct the hard battle to win economic and social development in extraordinary times must be well understood. "Dai Yanjun, a professor at the Central Party School (National School of Administration), told China News Agency.

The outside world noticed that Xi Jinping's two research sites for resuming production and resuming production in Zhejiang were quite meaningful. One is Ningbo Zhoushan Port, which ranks first in the world for 11 consecutive years in cargo throughput, and the other is Beilun Daqi High-end Auto Parts Mould Park where small and medium-sized private manufacturing enterprises gather. Both are representatives of China's outward-oriented economy.

Dai Yanjun believes that after the domestic epidemic has been better controlled, resumption of work and production has become the "main attack" direction on the national agenda. Xi Jinping's investigation in Zhejiang "reflects that the overall work of the central government will be adjusted according to the current situation and conditions-shifting the focus to how to restart the economic development where the 'pause button' was pressed."

Chang Jian, a professor at Nankai University's Zhou Enlai School of Government Management, also holds the above views. He said that Zhejiang is a concentration of private enterprises and an important port for import and export, covering an important vitality point of the Chinese economy. Xi Jinping's field investigations and investigations are intended to outline the key points for getting the economy back on track, orient the rudder, and clear the meridians.

——Government combination boxing to cheer for SMEs

According to a survey report by the China Association of Small and Medium-sized Business Enterprises, 58.25% of the companies expect their revenue to fall by more than 50% in the first quarter.

Under the epidemic situation, how to get private enterprises, especially small and medium-sized enterprises to overcome difficulties, is related to China's economic vitality.

As early as February 21, the meeting of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China hosted by Xi Jinping emphasized the need to increase assistance to key industries and small and medium-sized enterprises, the rescue policy must be accurately implemented, and the policy must run ahead of the trapped enterprises.

On March 27th, the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee pointed out that it is necessary to promptly sort out and analyze the difficult and blocked problems reflected by local and enterprises, and promptly resolve them to promote the coordinated return to production and production of the industrial chain.

"We have issued a series of policy combos. We will continue to improve them as the situation changes, and we will introduce more targeted measures to help small and medium-sized enterprises resume production as soon as possible and make new developments." In the mold park management and service center, Xi Jinping emphasized this to representatives of SMEs and representatives of returnee employees.

Looking back at these two months, the relevant state departments have implemented a series of fiscal, tax, financial, social security and other policies, such as reducing the VAT collection rate of small-scale taxpayers, reducing corporate social security premiums, and implementing corporate deferred housing provident funds. ...

Compared with "point-to-point" assistance to alleviate the real difficulties, Chen Fengying, former director of the Institute of World Economics of China Institute of Modern International Relations, believes that because of the epidemic, many countries have adopted measures to block their national doors, which inevitably has an impact on global trade. What should Chinese export products do in the background, and how to break through in a difficult situation? This may be the focus of the leaders' inspection of Zhejiang at this time. She believes that "in the short term, we will focus on breakouts and continue to maintain social order and avoid unemployment after resuming work and production. From a long-term perspective, it is important to optimize the layout of the future industrial chain."

——China accelerates resumption of work and production, injecting certainty into the world

Some analysts pointed out that when many countries had to stop due to the impact of the epidemic, Xi Jinping released China through Zhejiang to speed up the overall restoration of order and minimize the economic impact of the epidemic. Stimulate market confidence and inject stability and certainty.

"For China's import and export, the bad news is that many countries have closed their doors, but the good news is that world demand is still there. Therefore, China needs to seize this opportunity to bring its economic supply capacity into play." Chang Jian said, From another perspective, China has set an example and resisted the impact of the epidemic with open and cooperative actions to protect the security of the global supply chain and build a smooth trade channel, which will bring a boost and demonstration effect to the world.

In addition, observers have noted that Xi Jinping's visit to Zhejiang was not the only option for investigating “resumption of work and production”. Ecological protection, urban governance, and understanding of the work of mediating contradictions and disputes at the grass-roots level ... A series of normalized survey schedules have "returned" again, highlighting the deep meaning.

In response, Dai Yanjun pointed out that there are still many urgent tasks to be completed in China this year. After the epidemic situation is effectively controlled, the routine work needs to be advanced as usual. "Like ecological environmental protection, it is a matter of long-term development. It cannot affect the long-term work layout due to epidemic prevention and control."

He said that the normalization of the investigation schedule "return" reflects the improvement of the epidemic prevention and control work. The central government's efforts to get everything back on track can be regarded as a long-term development. (Finish)
