  During the National People's Congress in 2022, Yuan Jiajun, deputy to the National People's Congress, secretary of the Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee, and director of the Standing Committee of the Zhejiang Provincial People's Congress, said in an exclusive interview with a reporter from China News Agency that Zhejiang will strive to build a demonstration zone for common prosperity through high-quality development to make enterprises more competitive. , Make the society more dynamic, make people's lives better, and let the people truly feel that common prosperity is a fact that can be seen, touched, and felt.

Demonstration area construction starts with a solid and steady start to explore an effective path for common prosperity

  In the past 20 years, under the guidance of the "Eight-Eight Strategy", Zhejiang has built a well-off society at a high level in an all-round way.

In the new journey towards the second centenary goal, Zhejiang has taken over the important task and explored an effective path for common prosperity.

  This is a pioneering undertaking, and there is no experience to draw upon.

Looking back, how did Zhejiang get started?

  "Zhejiang must resolutely shoulder the responsibilities of a pathfinder, learn, seek, and work on the side, build pillars, build beams, and build foundations." Yuan Jiajun said.

  Building the system, strengthening the promotion, grasping the reform, and building the mechanism are the four key words of the road to start.

  Yuan Jiajun introduced that the construction of the system is based on the "Opinions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council on Supporting Zhejiang's High-quality Development and Construction of Common Prosperity Demonstration Zones" and the "Implementation Plan for Zhejiang High-quality Development and Construction of Common Prosperity Demonstration Zones" to initially build "1+7+N" key tasks system, the "1+5+n" major reform system.

  "1" in "1+7+N" is a set of indicator system, "7" is high-quality economic development, reform of income distribution system, high-quality sharing of public services, coordinated development of urban and rural areas, development of advanced socialist culture, and construction of ecological civilization , social governance and other seven pilot demonstrations, in Zhejiang, this is also vividly called "seven runways"; "N" is a series of breakthroughs with leading demonstration role and universal significance.

  "1+5+n" is to explore institutional mechanisms and policy systems that are conducive to common prosperity, "1" is to expand the middle and lower, income distribution, "5" is to narrow the regional development gap, narrow the urban-rural development gap, and provide high-quality public services. Sharing, common prosperity in spiritual life, and common prosperity are the basic units of modernization. "n" is a series of major reforms that have a leading and exemplary role and are of universal significance.

  In terms of strong promotion, Yuan Jiajun said: "It is to insist on promoting common prosperity in high-quality development, focus on solving the 'three major gaps', and do a solid job in the key tasks of common prosperity."

  The report card can be seen through several sets of figures: in 2021, the disposable income of urban and rural residents and the per capita consumption expenditure of residents in Zhejiang will rank first in the country's provinces and regions; The income difference of residents narrowed from 1.96 to 1.94; "one county, one policy" was introduced for 26 counties in mountainous areas, and the ratio of per capita disposable income of residents in 26 mountainous counties to the provincial average increased from 0.725 to 0.732, with the highest per capita disposable income in districts and cities The gap with the lowest price has narrowed from 1.64 to 1.61.

  At the same time, Zhejiang is also moving towards building an olive-shaped structure society in terms of exploring, promoting, expanding, and improving.

Generally speaking, the continuous expansion of the middle-income group and the continuous and rapid growth of the income of the low-income group are important signs of common prosperity.

In 2021, the proportion of households in Zhejiang with an annual disposable income of 100,000 to 500,000 yuan will increase by 3.2 percentage points to 72.4%;

  To promote common prosperity, reform and innovation can provide a steady stream of endogenous power.

  Yuan Jiajun introduced that Zhejiang has solidly promoted the innovation of the common prosperity system and policies, studied and formulated major reform plans such as expanding the centralization and lowering the number of agricultural residents, and promoting the reform of commercial supplementary medical insurance, rural integration reform, and future community reforms. A number of reform experiences such as the reward and subsidy mechanism have been extended to the whole country, and various cities and counties and the first batch of 28 pilot projects for common prosperity have explored and formed a number of models.

  At the level of the construction mechanism, Zhejiang has established a leading group for high-quality development and construction of a common prosperity demonstration area. The provincial party committee and all cities and counties have established social construction committees to regularly plan and promote the construction of demonstration areas.

At the same time, the Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee's Consultative Committee for Building a Demonstration Zone for Common Prosperity was established, and Dacheng Jizhi promoted the theoretical and practical exploration of common prosperity.

Build a systematic work pattern to promote "seven first demonstrations"

  The construction of the demonstration zone has made a solid start, and the road of "practice, understanding, re-practice, and re-understanding" has begun in Zhejiang.

  On the first day of work after the Spring Festival, Zhejiang held a demonstration zone promotion conference for high-quality development and construction of common prosperity in the province, conveying a clear attitude and firm determination to persevere and go all out to promote the construction of the demonstration zone.

  In 2022, Zhejiang will usher in the first anniversary of the construction of the demonstration zone, which is also defined as the year of mechanism innovation, the year of reform and exploration, and the year of achievement display.

  Yuan Jiajun said that Zhejiang should benchmark and implement the central government's "Opinions" deployment, systematically and scientifically shape changes, make innovations and breakthroughs around major common issues, create conditions, improve systems, and steadily move towards the goal of common prosperity.

  Yuan Jiajun introduced: "The main goals of Zhejiang this year can be summarized as 'three batches'. The first is to create a batch of landmark achievements, the second is to explore a batch of institutional and institutional innovation models for common prosperity, and the third is to plan a batch of major reforms."

  Among them, which landmark achievements Zhejiang will create have attracted much attention from the outside world.

Yuan Jiajun explained the starting point of the province, "We will adhere to what the country needs, what Zhejiang can do, what the people hope for, and what the future wants, and strive to create iconic achievements that have national influence, are felt by the masses, and can be demonstrated and promoted."

  It is reported that Zhejiang has sorted out ten "achievement lists".

Including high-quality employment and entrepreneurship system, expanding middle and lowering, overall high-quality development of 26 counties in mountainous areas, reform and development of rural collective economy, basic unit of common prosperity and modernization, full-scale health service system for the whole people, good education in Zhejiang, longevity in Zhejiang, "Zhejiang Youli" "Provincial civilized practice, intelligent and quick handling of affairs for the people.

  To achieve the above goals, it is necessary to build a systematic promotion pattern in the open and complex giant system of demonstration zone construction.

To this end, Zhejiang strives to run the "seven first demonstration" runway well.

  "'Seven pilot demonstrations' is the main runway for Zhejiang to systematically promote the path of common prosperity, and it is also the mission and requirement of Zhejiang's path exploration for the whole country." Yuan Jiajun introduced: "We focus on the 'seven pilot demonstrations' and make concerted efforts to promote major reforms. Integrate breakthroughs, highlight 54 key tasks and 34 major reforms, and solidly promote mechanism innovation and reform exploration."

  Taking the promotion of high-quality economic development as an example, Zhejiang clearly wants to build a modern industrial system led by the digital economy, explore the establishment of a global innovation and support mechanism for common prosperity, build a high-quality employment and entrepreneurship system, strengthen the integration and development mechanism for small and medium-sized enterprises, and build quality consumption. promote the system.

  Another example is to promote the reform of the income distribution system. The province will solidly carry out the action of expanding the middle and lowering, exploring the construction of a large social security system, researching the wealth-sharing fiscal and tax policy system, exploring the establishment of a new charity system, and exploring the establishment of a wealth-sharing statistical monitoring system.

  Yuan Jiajun told reporters that Zhejiang will be down-to-earth and work for a long time, step by step in accordance with the laws of economic and social development, maintain strategic focus and patience, and do one thing after another in a down-to-earth manner. sexual outcomes.

Common prosperity is a common cause that requires the people to work together

  From a longer-term perspective, the purpose of achieving common prosperity and building a better society is for the people, and the strength also comes from the people.

This year's government work report pointed out, "We must adhere to the people-centered development philosophy, rely on common struggle, solidly promote common prosperity, and continuously realize the people's yearning for a better life."

  This is exactly the orientation principle of Pathfinder Zhejiang.

"Common prosperity is the common expectation and common cause of all people, and it is common prosperity that is shared by co-construction, co-governance and sharing. It is necessary for the government, enterprises, society and individuals to work together to gather the majestic force of the whole society to work together to promote common prosperity." Yuan Jiajun said.

  According to reports, facing the future, Zhejiang will work hard to promote the formation of this force from four aspects.

  One is to encourage hard work and innovation to get rich.

Including creating a first-class business environment and enterprise ecology, encouraging innovation, entrepreneurship and creation, forming a development environment and a dynamic development mechanism for everyone to participate in.

  In practice, for example, around the construction of marketization, rule of law, and international business environment, the province has realized that the establishment of enterprises can be completed in one day, and the approval of general enterprise investment projects is "up to 80 days". Implemented 185 items such as notification and commitment, provided 1.22 million legal consulting services to market entities, and helped enterprises solve 150,000 problems.

  Zhejiang also emphasizes that the government is scientifically active.

Yuan Jiajun said: "We must do our best and do what we can, explore the construction of a 'commonality + individuality' public policy toolbox, and implement scientific and precise policies. , do not engage in 'big hulong' and 'one size fits all'."

  The reform of "expanding the middle and improving the lower" is one of the incisions to observe this "scientific and promising" orientation.

Focusing on this reform, Zhejiang not only proposes eight paths in the dimension of "commonality" to promote employment, activate power, expand channels, optimize distribution, strengthen capacity, give more assistance, reduce burden, and promote new trends, and promote the implementation of inclusive policies. Focusing on the nine categories of groups that are the focus of attention at the current stage, the "personality" level is the first to launch a batch of differentiated income distribution incentive policies.

For example, skilled workers mainly put forward specific incentive measures in terms of wage system and cultivation mechanism, and employees in new employment forms mainly put forward specific incentive measures in terms of employment management and rights protection, skills training, and social security.

  In addition, Zhejiang advocates enterprises to fulfill their social responsibilities and participate in charitable and public welfare undertakings on the basis of running their own affairs well.

Advocate that enterprises should be both righteous and profitable on the basis of high-quality development and competitiveness enhancement, promote the first to bring wealth later, give full play to their advantages, and help enhance the hematopoietic function.

  Yuan Jiajun said: "We must also guide the broad participation of the whole society. Adhere to asking the people's needs, asking the people's plans, and asking the people's benefits, exploring the establishment of a mechanism for understanding people's feelings and a mechanism for gathering wisdom, and widely pooling the wisdom and strength of all sectors of society to jointly Put forward opinions on demand, promote innovative breakthroughs, and evaluate work results."

  "In short, we must strive to make enterprises more competitive, make society more dynamic, and make people's lives better through the construction of demonstration zones, so that the people can truly feel that common prosperity is visible, tangible and real. Sensitive facts, and strive to explore a common prosperity path with universal significance." Yuan Jiajun said.
