During the critical period, General Secretary Xi Jinping went to the Northeast for inspection.

  Two years ago, in September 2018, at the node where the Northeast revitalized the rolling stones and climbed the hurdles, the general secretary inspected the three northeastern provinces and presided over the in-depth promotion of the northeast revitalization symposium, drawing a blueprint for the comprehensive and all-round revitalization of the northeast in the new era .

  Today, China has reached a critical junction.

  In Jilin, the general secretary made such an important judgment on the current situation:

  "The world today is undergoing major changes unseen in a century, and the internal conditions and external environment of my country's development are undergoing profound and complex changes."

  Indeed, 2020 is too special!

  The pandemic has swept across the world, and its impact on the economic and social development of mankind and on the international political landscape is far-reaching. Some predictable megatrends have come ahead of schedule, and more and more unexpected changes are coming: the game between big powers has intensified, the economy has been adjusted in depth, the industrial transformation has accelerated, and black swans and gray rhinos have emerged in an endless stream... Many netizens use the "Lifetime Series" ", to describe this "great change unseen in a century" that we are experiencing personally.

  And China is standing at the historical intersection of the "two centenary" goals, crossing the threshold of a decisive victory in an all-round well-off society and a decisive battle against poverty. The new journey ahead is the comprehensive construction of a modern socialist country. At this time, profound changes in internal and external environmental conditions have brought us unprecedented difficulties and challenges.

  How does China respond to the situation of "profound and complex changes"? From this inspection of General Secretary Jilin, we can see some strategic fulcrums for governing the country.

1. Food is the leader: "I am very concerned about food production and safety"

  The strategic position of the Northeast is too important. During the War of Liberation, the People's Army under the leadership of our party took the Northeast as an important foundation, struck from the white mountains and black waters to the coast of the South China Sea, and liberated the whole of China.

  When inspecting the three provinces of Northeast China in September 2018, the general secretary made such a positioning: "The Northeast region is an important industrial and agricultural base in China. It is very important to maintain the strategic position of national defense security, food security, ecological security, energy security, and industrial security. It is related to the overall situation of national development."

  In a sense, grasping the Northeast means grasping the foundation and grasping the key. And what is the key of the foundation of the foundation? It is undoubtedly a food security issue.

  In Hong Fan Bazheng, food is the head of politics; everything is easy, food is great. In a country with a population of 1.4 billion, resolving the problem of food is always the top priority of governance.

  On this trip to Jilin, the first stop of the General Secretary went to the black soil to inspect the national standard production base of green food raw materials (corn) in Lishu County, Siping City, Jilin Province.

  The Northeast region accounts for more than one-fifth of the country’s grain output. Lishu County is the country’s strongest agricultural county in terms of grain yield per unit area and fourth in total output. The overall situation for the country’s summer grain harvest has now been determined. One is corn. The deep meaning behind the selection of the general secretary's investigation point is self-evident. He said: "I am very concerned about food production and safety."

  As early as February this year, when giving important instructions to the country’s spring agricultural production, the general secretary emphasized: “The more you face risks and challenges, the more you must stabilize agriculture, and the more you must ensure the safety of food and important non-staple foods.”

  The key to our successful and effective response to this epidemic is that the "rice bag" and "vegetable basket" have stabilized. The barn is solid and the world is safe, with grain in hand and no panic in the heart, it is the truth at all times.

  In terms of food production, the general secretary went on to emphasize the protection and utilization of black land, the application of agricultural science and technology, and the modern agricultural management system, all of which embodied the idea of ​​governing the country with emphasis on agriculture and consolidating its roots.

  Holding the bottom line has the confidence to deal with risks and challenges.

2. The people are the foundation of the nation: "Do the work at the grassroots level well, so that we can'stand the wind and waves and sit firmly on the Diaoyutai'""

  Urban and rural communities are the cornerstone of this building of the national governance system.

  During the inspection in Jilin, the general secretary investigated a model community-Changshan Garden Community, Tuanshan Street, Kuancheng District, Changchun City, and a training institution dedicated to cultivating professional and professional community cadres-Jilin Changchun Community Cadre College. A clear orientation of focusing on the grassroots and strengthening the foundation.

  As the saying goes, "If the foundation is not strong, the ground will shake." The more we face risks and challenges, the more we must consolidate the foundation of grassroots social governance. In this fight against the epidemic, the community has been called an important position and the most effective line of defense, and played an important role in preventing the epidemic.

  As the smallest unit of social governance, the improvement of the governance capabilities of urban and rural communities is the meaning of the modernization of the national governance system and governance capabilities, and it is also an important connotation of "preserving the operation of the grassroots" in the "six guarantees" task highlighted by the Party Central Committee.

  If the grassroots governance is done well, the last mile of connecting the party with the masses will be opened up, the relationship between the party and the masses will be closer, the society will be more harmonious, and there will be a stable environment for economic and social development.

  How to do a good job in grassroots governance?

  The general secretary said: "The key to improving the effectiveness of community governance is to strengthen the party's leadership. It is necessary to promote the extension of the party organization to the grassroots level and do a good job at the grassroots level, so that we can'stand the wind and waves and sit firmly on the Diaoyutai'."

  During the inspection, the general secretary of FAW Group learned about the employment situation of college graduates this year. He also particularly emphasized the need to "do everything possible to stabilize existing employment, actively increase new employment, and promote the re-employment of the unemployed."

  Employment is the foundation of people's livelihood, ranking first among the "six stability" and "six guarantees".

  Stabilizing and preserving employment is a livelihood issue related to the well-being of the people, and a political issue related to reform, development and stability. It is bound to be a priority prerequisite for state governance in complex situations.

3. Strategic determination: "It is very important to plan for development during the 14th Five-Year Plan period"

  There is another important background for the general secretary’s visit to Jilin: the Party Central Committee is organizing and formulating proposals for economic and social development during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period. The general secretary of this bank also conducted research on this.

  Five years ago, in July 2015, at the same time, General Secretary Xi Jinping came to Jilin to "plan the economic and social development during the 13th Five-Year Plan period to conduct research and investigation."

  From the formulation of the 13th Five-Year Plan to the 14th Five-Year Plan, the general secretary has taken Jilin as the research object, which fully reflects the important strategic position of the Northeast in national development.

  The general secretary said: "The '14th Five-Year Plan' period is the first five years that my country has embarked on a new journey of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way. It is very important to plan for the development of the '14th Five-Year Plan' period."

  Everything is difficult at the beginning, and the goal of "the second centenary" is a matter of overall and long-term development.

  During this visit to Jilin, FAW Group, the general secretary called: to achieve technological self-reliance and self-reliance, and make the national brand stronger and bigger;

  In the Changchun New District Planning Exhibition Hall, the general secretary requested: adhere to high-level planning, high-standard construction, and take the road of intensive and connotative development;

  When listening to the work report of the Jilin Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government, the general secretary emphasized: To promote high-quality economic development, we must focus on promoting the quality of economic development, efficiency, and power changes, and enhance economic competitiveness, innovation, and risk resistance.

  Reform and innovation are the key words throughout. This has once again confirmed the truth: the more you face risks and challenges, the more you must maintain strategic determination, make far-reaching plans, advance the established deployment, and concentrate on doing your own affairs well, so as to master the initiative in development.

  At the same time, it is also a reminder not to give up high-quality development because of temporary difficulties in economic development and poor data, and start blindly stimulating and launching low-end projects. The more at this time, the more motivation for reform and innovation. Find the way in.

  As the day before the visit to Jilin, the general secretary said at the entrepreneurs forum: "At the moment of the pandemic, all industries are difficult, but the crisis is organic, and only the innovator wins."
