  After the victory of the fight against poverty, the common prosperity that has been "placed in a more important position" has a "road map."

The "14th Five-Year Plan" and the draft chapter of the 2035 long-term goal outline talk about optimizing the income distribution structure and require "more active and promising promotion of common prosperity."

  Observing the "road map" of common prosperity, there are some big and hard moves for "lowering", "expanding the middle" and "limiting the height".

The representatives and committee members who are participating in the National Two Sessions in Beijing also made suggestions.

"Height limit" has big tricks

  With regard to the “height limit”, the draft plan proposed to strengthen tax regulation and supervision of high-income earners.

Reasonably regulate excessively high income, ban illegal income, and curb income from monopoly and unfair competition.

  "Constraining the use of monopoly and unfair competition to obtain income" and preventing the rich from relying on monopoly and unfair competition to continue to grab huge amounts of wealth is the big way to curb the gap between the rich and the poor.

  In the “Proposal on Narrowing Residents’ Income Gap to Solidly Promote Common Prosperity”, the Central Committee of the Democratic Progressives proposed to deal with the income inequality brought about by new technologies, strengthen the anti-monopoly supervision of technology companies, speed up the revision of the “Anti-Monopoly Law”, and prevent large-scale technology The company uses its monopoly advantage to obtain high profits and high income and maintain fair and reasonable competition in the market.

  Qi Zhifeng, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, pointed out that common prosperity requires both prosperity and fairness. Fairness is not about equalization, but to protect the future of the struggle of all people and protect opportunities from being deprived.

"Expanding China" has key points

  With regard to the expansion of middle-income groups, the draft plan has made key deployments—implementing the action plan for expanding middle-income groups, focusing on college and vocational college graduates, skilled workers, and migrant workers, and continuously increasing the proportion of middle-income groups .

  There are plans, focus, and channels.

Aiming at key populations, the draft plan outlines a targeted “program” for increasing income.

For example, improve the employment matching and labor participation rate of graduates from colleges and vocational colleges.

Improve the treatment level and social status of skilled talents.

Implement high-quality farmers' cultivation plan, use agricultural and rural resources and modern business methods to increase income.

  Zhong Ying, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, a researcher at the Institute of Contemporary China of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, and a member of the Standing Committee of the Beijing Municipal Committee of the Democratic National Construction Association, told a reporter from China News Agency that through the reform of factor marketization, the development of the private economy will be further promoted. Large expansion of middle-income groups.

At the same time, it is necessary to increase the accuracy of taxation, social security, transfer payments and other adjustments to effectively reduce the tax burden of middle-income groups.

  "China already has more than 400 million middle-income groups. To further expand the scale, it is necessary to provide more employment opportunities, and at the same time expand the channels and space for residents' income and wealth to rise." Member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, deputy of the Faculty of Economics and Management, Peking University Director Jin Li told a reporter from China News Agency that ordinary people’s wealth is growing slowly and their ability to resist risks is poor. The financial resources obtained in the process of wealth appreciation are limited compared with high-net-worth individuals. More guidance must be made through fiscal and tax policies. Financial resources support the growth of ordinary people’s property income.

"Raise down" is strong

  "Continuously increase the income of low-income groups", the draft plan proposes a series of measures-perfecting the wage determination, reasonable growth and payment guarantee mechanism, and perfecting the minimum wage standard and the wage guideline formation mechanism.

Explore the use of land, capital and other factors to use rights, income rights to increase the element income of low- and middle-income groups.

Standardize labor dispatch and employment behavior, and guarantee equal pay for equal work.

  Liu Shangxi, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and president of the Chinese Academy of Fiscal Sciences, believes that the size of low-income groups must be reduced, and the formation of low-income groups has inherent institutional factors.

For example, the existing nearly 300 million migrant workers have difficulty enjoying same-city treatment.

Like poverty alleviation, we must fight a tough battle for social reform with equal treatment in the same city as the core.

  Hu Zucai, deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission of China, said at a press conference held by the State Council Information Office on the 8th that he is working with relevant departments to quickly study and formulate an action plan for common prosperity.

While "making a big cake", "cut the cake" at the same time.

We must coordinate the work of people’s livelihood and well-being in all aspects of employment, income distribution, education, social security, medical care, housing, elderly care, and childcare, and pay more attention to the rural, grass-roots, and underdeveloped areas, and the people in need.

  "The way to govern the country starts with the enrichment of the people." Promoting the common prosperity of all people is a long-term and arduous task. The people expect that common prosperity will be reflected in reality from dreams as soon as possible.
