Provincial-level two sessions: shorten the duration of meetings and strictly control the scale of meetings in some regions

  By convention, the provincial and local NPC and CPPCCs held at the beginning of each year have always been an important window for the outside world to observe China’s local economic and social development.

  Judging from the information published in various places, most provinces this year set the time of the two sessions at the provincial level in mid-to-late January.

However, due to the needs of epidemic prevention and control, some regions have recently adjusted the meeting time and compressed the duration of the meeting to strictly control the scale of the meeting.

  For example, on January 11, Hebei Province decided to postpone the provincial-level People's Congress originally scheduled to be held on January 25, and the specific meeting time will be decided separately.

Subsequently, Liaoning Province also announced that it would appropriately postpone the fifth meeting of the Thirteenth People's Congress of Liaoning Province, and the specific meeting time will be decided separately.

  In terms of meeting time, Beijing has announced that the National People’s Congress will reduce the duration of the meeting and the length of oral reports, and the official meeting will be reduced to four and a half days. To ensure the deliberation time of the delegates, the duration of each plenary meeting will be controlled within 1.5 hours. .

  Another example is Henan, which has officially entered the "two sessions". In previous years, the provincial political association’s parliamentary period was generally 5 to 6 days. This year, the conference period has been reduced to 3.5 days.

Special year: what kind of transcripts will be shown in various places

  At the time of the "two sessions" in various places, the government work report is undoubtedly the focus of public opinion.

As usual, the government work reports of various regions will show the development report card of each region in the past year and announce this year's economic development goals.

  In the past 2020, the new crown pneumonia epidemic hit the world hard, and after the Chinese economy experienced a downturn, it successfully achieved a "V" rebound.

In October last year, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) announced the "World Economic Outlook" and pointed out that China will be the only country in the world's major economies to maintain positive growth in 2020, and "China will recover faster than expected."

  2020 is the year of decisive victory in building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way and the end of the "13th Five-Year Plan". With the opening of the provincial two sessions in 2021, what kind of economic and social development report cards each province will hand over will undoubtedly attract attention.

  Prior to this, many provinces, including Yunnan, Anhui and other places, have adopted different forms to publicly solicit opinions and suggestions on government work reports.

Such as housing, education, food safety, medical care, pension, etc., are keywords for soliciting opinions and suggestions from various places.

The first year: how to plan the development blueprint

  This year marks the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China and also the first year of the "14th Five-Year Plan".

Standing at a new historical starting point, the new layouts of the two associations in various regions for local development have attracted attention from the outside world.

  The Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China held in October last year put forward the main objectives of economic and social development during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period.

These important goals are composed of specific goals in many fields such as economy, science and technology, market, education, culture, rule of law, ecology, etc., and jointly outline a goal roadmap for the future.

  At the end of last year, various provinces successively reviewed and approved the province’s "14th Five-Year Plan" and proposals for long-term goals for 2035.

Areas such as regional economy, metropolitan area, expansion of domestic demand, dual circulation, and breakthroughs in core technologies are frequently mentioned in various places.

  At this year's provincial and local two sessions, in these key areas, what specific development measures will be taken by various regions is worth looking forward to.

At the same time, it is necessary to strictly organize the scale of the meeting, reduce the number of staff, prepare anti-epidemic materials in advance, and disinfect the venue and hotel. Comprehensively and carefully implement the requirements of epidemic prevention and control measures, and efficiently and pragmatically prepare for the epidemic prevention and control of the conference, to ensure that the epidemic prevention and control work of the conference is fully covered, without omissions, and zero risk.

  In addition, the conference proceedings have always been the focus of the provincial two sessions.

Strict meeting discipline to ensure that the meeting is clean and upright.

Strictly implement the attendance requirements of the conference and strictly implement the leave system to ensure the attendance rate of the conference.

Strictly implement the spirit of the eight central regulations, practice strict economy, and organize meetings diligently and thriftily.
