Correctly understand and grasp the strategic goals and practical approaches to achieve common prosperity
Zhejiang Pathfinder
This year's Central Economic Work Conference pointed out that the new development stage is facing many new major theoretical and practical problems and emphasized that we must correctly understand and grasp the strategic goals and practical ways to achieve common prosperity.
To achieve the goal of common prosperity, we must first make the "cake" bigger and better through the joint efforts of the people of the whole country, and then cut the "cake" well through reasonable institutional arrangements.
This is a long-term historical process, and we must steadily advance towards this goal.
Common prosperity is the essential requirement of socialism and the common expectation of the people.
The Sixth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee of the Party pointed out when summing up the historical experience of the party's centuries of struggle and pointed out that it is unswerving to follow the path of common prosperity for all people.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core has united and led the people across the country to create a historical miracle of winning the fight against poverty and building a well-off society in an all-round way, and ushering in the historical stage of solidly promoting common prosperity.
Piloting is an important task and method of reform.
On the centenary of the founding of the party, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core gave Zhejiang a glorious mission of high-quality development and construction of a common prosperity demonstration zone, emphasized the need to build a common prosperity demonstration zone in Zhejiang, and encouraged localities to explore effective paths according to local conditions, summarize experience, and gradually promote open.
How to realize the solid promotion of common prosperity?
How does Zhejiang explore the path to common prosperity?
The "general thinking" and "six major measures" plan for mutual prosperity, Zhejiang emphasizes technological innovation and digital transformation, and explores a path for high-quality economic development
General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that the general idea of promoting common prosperity is to adhere to the people-centered development concept, promote common prosperity in high-quality development, correctly handle the relationship between efficiency and fairness, and build coordination of primary distribution, redistribution, and three-time distribution. Supporting basic institutional arrangements, increase taxation, social security, transfer payments and other adjustments and improve accuracy, expand the proportion of middle-income groups, increase the incomes of low-income groups, rationally regulate high incomes, ban illegal incomes, and form a large middle income group and a small income group at both ends. The olive-shaped distribution structure promotes social fairness and justice, promotes the all-round development of people, and enables all people to make solid progress toward the goal of common prosperity.
General Secretary Xi Jinping also proposed six major measures, namely, improving the balance, coordination, and tolerance of development, focusing on expanding the size of middle-income groups, promoting the equalization of basic public services, strengthening the regulation and adjustment of high-income, and promoting the common spiritual life of the people. Prosperity promotes common prosperity for farmers and rural areas.
How to grasp the high-quality "eyes" and find the grasping hands that move the whole body?
Highlighting technological innovation, digital transformation, and exploring high-quality economic development paths have become Zhejiang's choice.
Recently, without running the department and handing in materials, Hu Weirong, a subsistence allowance holder in Donghujiayuan Community, Wuxing District, Huzhou City, has automatically deducted 713 yuan for “No Intentions” through preferential policies for the people in difficulty.
The original need to go to the relevant public service unit to run at least 4 times has become "zero run", and at least 5 materials submitted are streamlined to "zero declaration", and the processing time is reduced from at least 6 working days to "immediate".
Behind the “no sense” management is a digital reform that breaks data barriers and innovates joint offices.
Last year, five public service units, including the Huzhou Municipal Affairs Office and the State Grid, innovated the joint work model, built departmental data exchange warehouses with the support of big data, and included the subsistence allowance families, the subsistence marginal families and the destitute people with scattered support. The scope of benefits is given to the needy people according to the corresponding account number, and there is no need to apply separately.
Digital reform has promoted the fundamental removal of system and mechanism barriers and opened up a new space for high-quality economic development.
"A breeding engineer raises 86,000 chickens." In Cixi National Modern Agricultural Industrial Park, the digital layer farm has refreshed people's understanding of agricultural production efficiency.
In the control room of the breeding farm, a team of only 12 people manages the entire 12 chicken houses of the farm, and intelligently manages 1 million laying hens.
On the computer screen, key data such as temperature, humidity, and carbon dioxide content of each chicken house are clear at a glance.
With a light click of the mouse, you can remotely feed, feed water, collect eggs, and discharge manure; the fans in the chicken house, adjustable light sources and other facilities are all connected to the network, and the temperature and humidity are adjusted through the automatic system.
Relying on the automated system, a worker can sort 36,000 eggs every day.
At present, the pace of industrial digitization and digital industrialization in Zhejiang is getting faster and faster. The amplification, superposition, and multiplication effects of data production factors have been fully stimulated, and a modern economic system led by the digital economy is taking shape.
Focus on solving the regional gap, urban-rural gap, and income gap as the main direction, and cut the "cake" well through reasonable institutional arrangements
1.55, 1.9, 80% and 45%, in the "Zhejiang High-quality Development and Construction of Common Prosperity Demonstration Zone Implementation Plan (2021-2025)", there are three sets of figures that attract attention.
This is Zhejiang’s main goal of addressing regional gaps, urban-rural gaps, and income gaps. It has proposed a detailed goal by 2025: the highest and lowest per capita disposable income in districts and cities will be reduced to less than 1.55; the income gap in urban and rural residents will be reduced to less than 1.55. Within 1.9: 80% of the group with an annual disposable income of 100,000 to 500,000 yuan, and the ratio of the group with 200,000 to 600,000 yuan, strive to reach 45%.
How to cut and divide the "cake" on the basis of making the "cake" bigger and better?
With different resource endowments and different development bases, how to narrow the gap?
Zhejiang has launched a series of pioneering explorations centering on "resolving regional gaps, urban-rural gaps, and income gaps as the main direction of attack."
In Beilun District, Ningbo, there is an "enclave" of about 150 acres, a small and micro enterprise incubation base and two enterprises settled in it.
In this "enclave", the mountainous areas of Yunhe County in Lishui City and Beilun District in Ningbo City break the original administrative division restrictions, and realize resource complementary and coordinated development through cross-space administrative management and economic development.
This is not only the actual need to help mountain counties break the development bottleneck, but also an effective way to achieve market-oriented and efficient allocation of factor resources.
Behind the "enclave" is an upgraded version of the mountain-sea collaboration created by the "26 mountainous counties", Zhejiang's outstanding shortcomings aimed at regional development.
By strengthening land-sea coordination and mutual assistance between mountains and seas, the province’s 50 economically powerful counties paired and helped 26 counties.
At the same time, support the 26 counties to invest in the construction of three types of "enclaves" in the developed areas of the province, including industry, science and technology, and depletion (elimination of weakness).
In terms of narrowing the income gap, Zhejiang uses taxation and other tools to regulate the order of income distribution in accordance with the law, protect legal income in accordance with the law, rationally regulate excessively high income, and ban illegal income.
The “topic” is the reform of “expanding the middle” and “upgrading”, that is, expanding the scale of middle-income groups and increasing the income of low-income groups.
At the beginning of this year, Xinchuan Village, Meishan Town, Changxing County, Huzhou City, planned to develop characteristic agricultural products and establish a rural characteristic industry development base, with an initial investment of more than 2 million yuan.
Facing the problem of insufficient funds, a strong village company invested by villagers came into being. It creatively introduced a modern equity fund model, and invested the villagers’ existing capital, land, mountain forest resources and other income-generating sources in the form of equity shares into the strong village company. Dividends will be distributed in proportion to the villagers' equity participation.
"This new model can not only revitalize the villagers' idle funds and resources, but also solve the problem of shortage of funds in the development of the village, and increase the channels for villagers to invest and create wealth." said Zhang Xiaoqiang, the village cadre.
In addition, in the implementation path, Zhejiang proposes to promote income growth and broaden the income channels of residents; optimize distribution, innovate and improve the distribution and adjustment mechanism; strengthen ability, increase inclusive human capital investment; focus on assistance, and strengthen assistance to the needy groups; Improve quality and make every effort to reduce unreasonable burdens.
For example, in terms of increasing income, it will promote the realization of fuller and higher-quality employment and increase the property income of urban and rural residents; in terms of strong ability, it will deepen the integrated development of vocational education and deepen the training of skilled talents.
To promote common prosperity, the most arduous and arduous task is still in the rural areas. The main battlefield is in the "three rural areas", and the shortcomings are in the "three rural areas".
The annual per capita income of farmers has increased to 44,000 yuan, the urban-rural income differential has shrunk to less than 1.9, and the coverage rate of Zhejiang-level good governance (demonstration) villages has reached more than 50%... "Agriculture", the shortcomings are in "agriculture, rural areas and farmers". Through five years of hard work, it is planned to become a pioneering demonstration of high-quality and high-efficiency agriculture, livable and business-friendly rural areas, and affluent farmers.
my country has been a big agricultural country since ancient times.
The current unbalanced and insufficient development of our country is prominently manifested in the unbalanced development of urban and rural areas and insufficient development of rural areas.
The most difficult and arduous task of promoting common prosperity remains in the rural areas.
"Gradually narrowing the gap between urban and rural areas, regions, and classes, we must grasp the key to the "three rural areas"." Huang Zuhui, chief expert of the China Rural Development Research Institute of Zhejiang University, told reporters that rural areas are currently in income distribution, infrastructure, and human settlements. There are shortcomings in other aspects.
Take income as an example. In 2020, the per capita disposable income of rural residents in Zhejiang has exceeded 30,000 yuan, but the per capita income of farmers in 7 counties (cities) in the province has just reached the 20,000 yuan level.
The 15 counties (cities, districts) have an urban-rural income differential greater than 2.0; the province’s five counties (cities, districts) with the highest urban-rural income differential and the lowest five counties (cities, districts) have a gap of 0.7 about.
“The low-income groups are mainly concentrated in the rural areas. The income channels of farmers are relatively simple, and the proportion of property income is relatively low, accounting for only 3% of income.” Huang Zuhui said that the initial distribution should be devoted to “lowering” and “expanding the middle”. Among them, "upgrade" is the foundation, and "enlargement" is the goal.
While making the "cake" bigger, only by continuously increasing the income of low-income groups can the goal of "expanding China" be effectively achieved.
Promoting common prosperity is the common prosperity of all people, and the differences caused by the dual structure of urban and rural areas are worthy of attention.
"The dual structure of urban and rural areas has separated the urban and rural element markets, the urban and rural economy is poorly circulated, and there is still a lot of room for the integrated development of urban and rural areas. This is mainly reflected in two aspects: First, the accumulation of agricultural and rural development is less, and the modernization process is slow. The second is the low level of rural public service supply, and there is a gap between urban and rural public services." Huang Zuhui said.
Common prosperity means that the people are rich in material and spiritual life. To promote common prosperity requires both "rich pockets" and "rich brains."
While narrowing the income gap between urban and rural areas, efforts also need to be made to make rural areas livable, workable, and desirable beautiful homes.
"Agriculture and rural areas are shortcomings, and at the same time, it also shows that there is room for development." Huang Zuhui, for example, said that Zhejiang is the birthplace of the concept of "green water and green mountains are golden mountains and silver mountains", and "green water and green mountains" are mainly concentrated in rural areas. Develop precious resources of "agriculture, rural areas and farmers", open up high-quality, broaden, and optimize the transformation of "two mountains", which can turn ecological resources into capital for enriching the people, increase farmers' income, and narrow the development gap between urban and rural areas.
We need both material and spiritual wealth, and dynamically build a vision of common prosperity while promoting the all-round development of people
As night fell, in Xiazhu Village, Jiangbei, Yiwu, known as the "first village of Chinese Internet celebrities", the villagers put on dance costumes and danced happily to the rhythm of the music on the square. Dance teachers invited from the village Teaching the villagers to dance and walk the show.
The sound of singing, laughter, and music one after another.
While the material living conditions of the villagers have improved, their spiritual life has become increasingly colorful.
The promotion of common prosperity and the promotion of the all-round development of people are highly unified, which requires both material wealth and spiritual wealth.
The coverage rate of "15-minute quality cultural life circle" and "15-minute civilized practice service circle" is 100%, and the coverage rate of cultural facilities at the city, county, and township levels is 100%...a project goal that shows that Zhejiang places cultural civilization in Prominent position in the construction of the demonstration zone, focusing on creating a spiritual civilization highland.
From "Zhejiang courtesy" to "comfortable zebra crossing", from implementing cultural projects to benefit the people to constructing a high-quality public cultural service system, from "volunteer Zhejiang" to "most beautiful Zhejiang" and "moving Zhejiang", culture is improving, civilization is flowing, and spirit Be rich.
"Common prosperity is the common expectation of all people, and it is an all-round system engineering." said Chen Fangliu, the deputy dean and professor of the School of Marxism of the Party School of the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee. We must achieve common prosperity for 1.4 billion people. Moving forward, relying on struggle to achieve common prosperity.
While Zhejiang's high-quality development and construction of a common prosperity demonstration zone, various localities are also exploring effective paths in accordance with local conditions and moving steadily towards common prosperity: Jiangsu Province strives to develop a new type of rural collective economy to promote common prosperity for farmers; Guangdong Province strives to change the uneven regional development It will implement a new strategy for regional development led by functional zones; Jinjiang City, Fujian Province is exploring to build a demonstration of common prosperity, focusing on the real economy, cultivating and expanding market players, enhancing entrepreneurship and employability, equalizing public services, and allowing more people to live and work in peace.
Discipline inspection and supervision agencies based on their functions and responsibilities, escort the construction of a demonstration zone for common prosperity
Realizing common prosperity is not only an economic issue, but also a major political issue related to the party's ruling foundation.
In July of this year, the Zhejiang Commission for Discipline Inspection based on its functions and responsibilities, studied and formulated the "Opinions on Supervising and Guaranteeing High-quality Development and Building a Common Prosperity Demonstration Zone", systematically building a system and mechanism for monitoring and guaranteeing the construction of a common prosperity demonstration zone, and clarifying the focus of supervision and guarantee , Paths, and methods to promote the construction of the Common Prosperity Demonstration Zone.
Disciplinary inspection and supervision agencies at all levels in Zhejiang Province focus on effective paths for high-quality development, strengthen supervision of the implementation of policies to enhance independent innovation capabilities, shape new industrial competitive advantages, and promote the formation of a more dynamic, innovative and competitive high-quality development model; focus on benefits Enrich the people, promote the implementation of the common prosperity policy, carry out special supervision in hierarchical areas, promote more and more equitable development results to benefit the general public; focus on the acceleration of the first demonstration of reforms, and carry out the reform of the deepening of the income distribution system and the reform of the ecological civilization system And improve the supervision of urban-rural integration, regional coordinated development mechanism, etc., and promote the reshaping of institutional mechanisms.
"The facilities in the village have been built, and the environment is clean and tidy. More and more people come here for vacations. Our pockets are also bulging, and we are happy!" A few days ago, in West Lake, Yanjia Village, Jieshou Township, Chun'an County, Hangzhou City The Discipline Inspection and Supervision Team of the District Commission for Discipline Inspection in the District Development and Reform Bureau of Economic and Information Technology heard the enthusiastic feedback from the local people when it inspected the progress of the "mountain-sea collaboration" work on the spot.
It is understood that the Xihu District paired Yanjia Village and invested 9.6 million yuan in construction aid to assist in the construction of 12 demonstration sites for rural revitalization.
In order to ensure the implementation of "mountain-sea collaboration", the Hangzhou Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection strengthened political supervision, and urged the Municipal Bureau of Counterpart Support and Regional Cooperation to revise and improve the "Management Rules for Mountain-Sea Cooperation Aid Construction Projects (Funds)" to further standardize the scope of fund use and management methods. Establish a closed-loop management mechanism for the whole process of project application, review, task and fund release, follow-up evaluation, etc., and form a review mechanism of “project reporting, on-site Q&A, expert scoring, and comprehensive comments” to consolidate the supervision responsibilities of recipients and supporting parties.
The Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision of Huzhou City focuses on creating an optimized business environment and strengthening supervision, in-depth investigation of the situation of enterprises, focusing on abuse of power, use of power for personal gain, inadequate implementation of policies and systems, insufficient responsibility, ineffective performance of duties, etc., to create an overall atmosphere for the healthy development of enterprises; Wenzhou The Municipal Discipline Inspection and Supervision Agency has stepped up its inspection and investigation efforts, focused on solving the income gap, urban-rural gap, and regional gaps behind the unhealthy trends and corruption issues, deeply digging into the deep-seated problems behind the cases, and supervising and ensuring the effective implementation of policies and measures on common prosperity.
Common prosperity is the essential requirement of socialism and an important feature of Chinese-style modernization.
In the course of a hundred years of struggle, our party can unite and lead the people to eliminate the absolute poverty problem that has plagued the Chinese nation for thousands of years, and step by step the great cause of common prosperity to today’s historical stage, and will surely lead all the people to continue in the new era and new journey. Steady progress towards the goal of common prosperity.
