It's not hard to know what happened.
Since the beginning of this year, the international environment has become more complex and severe, the domestic epidemic has frequently spread, the adverse impact has increased significantly, and the economic development has been extremely unusual.
The CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core deeply grasps the overall international and domestic situation, adheres to the general principle of seeking progress while maintaining stability, efficiently coordinates epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development, and leads China's economic ships to break through the waves and move forward steadily on the high-quality development channel. reach far.
The scenery should be long-term.
To observe China's economy, we must adhere to a comprehensive, dialectical and long-term perspective, looking at both the current "form" and the long-term "trend". , while maintaining resilience, boosting confidence and determination, and accumulating momentum for development.

In the face of the most severe test of epidemic prevention and control since the Wuhan defense war in 2020, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core efficiently coordinated epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development, unswervingly adhered to the people first, life first, and insisted on external defense import and internal defense.

Since March, the highly contagious Omicron variant has spread to most provinces, threatening people's lives and health, and impacting the stable recovery of China's economy. Some unexpected factors have exceeded expectations, and the downward pressure on the economy in the second quarter has increased significantly. Major economic indicators fell in an all-round way, and the economic operation experienced large fluctuations.

The epidemic is a "stumbling block" for economic and social development. Only scientific, accurate and effective prevention and control of the epidemic can create a fundamental prerequisite for the normal operation of the economy and society.
Some countries have adopted the strategy of "laying down", and China's decision is unswerving: "It would be better to temporarily affect economic development, rather than harm the lives and health of the people, especially to protect the elderly and children."
It is very difficult to cope with scientific strategies.
To implement the decisions and deployments of the CPC Central Committee, all regions and departments across the country acted promptly to implement them firmly.

Under the epidemic of the century, how to protect people's lives and health and achieve stable economic development is a common problem faced by all countries.
On June 22, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out at the opening ceremony of the BRICS Business Forum: "China adheres to the principle of putting people first and life first, building a solid barrier for epidemic prevention and control, consolidating the results of epidemic prevention and control, and protecting people's lives and health to the greatest extent. It has stabilized the fundamentals of economic and social development.”
On June 28, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out during his inspection in Wuhan City, Hubei Province: "If we calculate the general ledger, our epidemic prevention measures are the most economical and effective."
Under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, this is a political, economic, and social account that adheres to the people as the center. It is a dialectic method for scientifically grasping the temporary, regional and long-term, and overall situation, and coordinating epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development——
Our country has a huge population. Once the virus spreads, the consequences will be unimaginable. The achievements made in fighting the epidemic may be in vain, let alone economic development.
Only when the epidemic is effectively controlled can people's lives, health and safety be effectively guaranteed, and favorable conditions exist for economic development and normal life.
At present, the economic operation is at a critical juncture in determining the trend of the whole year.
The achievements are hard-won, and the road ahead is not smooth: China’s economic operation has seen some positive changes, but the triple pressure of shrinking demand, supply shocks, and weakening expectations has not changed. difficulty.
Steady words at the head, seek progress while maintaining stability.
By insisting on coordinating epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development, the foundation for the stable recovery of China's economy will continue to be consolidated, and efforts will be made to achieve a better level of economic development this year.
Guarantee people's livelihood: "Do your best to handle the people's affairs one by one"
Governing the country is constant, and benefiting the people is the first.
Under the impact of the epidemic and the downward pressure on the economy, it is very important to effectively protect people's livelihood and keep the bottom line of people's livelihood.
General Secretary Xi Jinping said here: "Do a good job in employment, social security, assistance to the poor and other aspects, do a good job in maintaining social stability, keep people's hearts stable, and maintain overall social stability."
Since the beginning of this year, all localities and departments have actively implemented and implemented various policies of the central government. With a series of pragmatic actions, they have focused on solving the needs, urgency and expectations of the people, so that the people can have more, more direct and more real sense of gain, happiness, and happiness. sense of security.

——Place stable employment in a more important position, and make every effort to do a good job of people's livelihood.
In the spring and summer of 2022, Li Man, a master graduate from a 211 university, and her classmates felt the pressure of "uncertainty of recruitment examinations" and "urgency of signing deadlines".
In March and April, under the influence of multiple factors such as the epidemic, many companies reduced or slowed down recruitment.
The number of new urban laborers in need of employment this year is about 16 million, the highest in many years, of which 10.76 million are college graduates, a record high.
Employment is facing a grim situation.
"Almost since May, I have felt the gradual return of job fairs and the increase in recruitment positions." After several rounds of screening, Li Man received an offer of employment from a high school teacher in his home provincial capital.
The changes she felt were also confirmed in the macro data: in the first quarter, the national average urban survey unemployment rate was 5.5%, which was at a low level; in April, affected by the epidemic, it rose to 6.1%, fell to 5.9% in May, and fell to 5.9% in June. It further fell to 5.5%, and the employment situation gradually improved.
Since the beginning of this year, the employment priority strategy and the active employment policy have been implemented in detail, various measures to reduce the burden, stabilize jobs and expand employment have been implemented in depth, the assistance and employment services for key groups have been continuously increased, and all localities have made every effort to ensure the overall stability of the employment situation.
In the first half of the year, 6.54 million new jobs were created in cities and towns across the country, completing 59% of the annual target and tasks, which were basically the same as the time series.

—— Pay more attention to the rescue and assistance of the needy people, and stick to the bottom line of people's livelihood.
During the special period, some people are facing difficulties in basic life.
Since the beginning of this year, all localities have taken the initiative to act in accordance with local conditions, increased assistance, and timely distributed various relief funds to help them solve their problems.
Focusing on the unemployed, on the basis of regular insurance and living benefits and raising the standard of unemployment insurance, the policy of expanding the coverage of unemployment insurance will be implemented, and temporary assistance will be provided to those in difficulty who are temporarily unemployed and uninsured due to the impact of the epidemic. Make all the hair, it should be guaranteed.
From January to May, my country has paid 33.4 billion yuan of various types of unemployment insurance benefits to more than 5.6 million unemployed persons.
Focusing on the subsistence allowances and the extremely poor, additional living allowances will be issued on the basis of the original living allowances to ensure that their living standards will not be lowered; pension and medical insurance premiums will be paid for the poor groups to prevent poverty-stricken households from returning to poverty.

Since July, the pension payment standards will be adjusted in many places.
In 2022, the basic pension for retirees in my country will be raised by another 4%, benefiting more than 130 million retirees.

Keeping the bottom line: "Achieving a benign interaction of high-quality development and high-level security"
According to data from the National Bureau of Statistics, the national consumer price rose by 2.5% year-on-year in June and by 1.7% year-on-year in the first half of this year, maintaining a moderate upward trend.
"Compared with high inflation in Europe and the United States, China's pressure is still small." The Wall Street Journal of the United States commented that this means that China can focus more clearly on reviving the economy.
Since the beginning of this year, the impact of the new crown pneumonia epidemic and the Ukraine crisis has been intertwined and superimposed, resulting in the disorder of the global industrial chain and supply chain, the continuous rise of commodity prices, and the more fragile international monetary and financial system.
Many economies around the world are facing severe inflationary pressures.
In June, the U.S. consumer price index (CPI) increased by 9.1% year-on-year; the inflation rate in the euro zone reached an annual rate of 8.6% in June, a new record high; the British inflation rate reached 9.1% in May, rising to a 40-year high.
Recently, the International Monetary Fund, the World Economic Forum and other international organizations have warned that the global economy is facing the risk of recession.
Coordinating development and safety, enhancing the awareness of urgency, and being prepared for danger in times of peace is a major principle of our party's governance of the country.
The century-old changes and the epidemic of the century are superimposed on each other. In the face of various predictable and unforeseen risk factors, the most important thing is to concentrate on running your own affairs well.
Ensuring energy security and food security is an important support for stabilizing the domestic fundamentals, effectively guaranteeing and improving people's livelihood, and an important starting point for coping with the impact of external uncertainties and grasping the initiative in economic development.
Since June, domestic electricity demand has continued to rise.
The China Electricity Council predicts that the electricity consumption of the whole society will increase by about 7% year-on-year in the second half of the year, which is about 4 percentage points higher than that in the first half of the year.
"The national epidemic situation is generally under control, and a series of deployments to stabilize the macroeconomic market have been accelerated. The stable supply and price of electricity, especially thermal coal, is of special significance to support the steady recovery of the economy and ensure people's livelihood needs." China Academy of Macroeconomics Comprehensive situation Guo Liyan, director of the research laboratory, said.
The volatility of the international energy market has intensified, and the energy supply of some countries has sounded the alarm. Based on the basic national conditions of coal, my country has given full play to the role of coal as a "ballast stone". The energy production, supply, storage and sales system is running smoothly to ensure stable energy supply and stable prices. , firmly hold the bottom line of energy security.
On the premise of ensuring safe production and ecological environmental protection, release high-quality coal production capacity in an orderly manner; make overall arrangements for transportation capacity to ensure smooth and orderly coal transportation; vigorously promote clean and efficient utilization of coal, strengthen crude oil and coal reserve capacity building, and speed up large-scale wind power photovoltaics The construction of bases... With the two keys of "maintaining quantity" and "stabilizing prices", my country has accelerated the formation of a "firewall" that can effectively resist the large fluctuations in international energy prices.
According to the National Development and Reform Commission, due to the combination of the rapid economic recovery and the continuous high temperature weather, the demand for electricity across the country has grown rapidly, and the supply and demand in some areas are tight during peak hours. Significant year-on-year growth, coal supply and coal storage in power plants under unified national regulation are at historically high levels; major oil and gas companies have maintained a high level of refined oil inventories, and natural gas pipeline storage and tank storage are at high levels. Solid foundation.
Grain production is an important foundation for stable economic and social development.
In Huangshan Village, Tiantou Town, Ningdu County in the south of Jiangxi Province, the early rice grains here are full and growing satisfactorily. Several harvesters are busy harvesting.
This year, the sown area of early rice in Jiangxi Province reached 18.3 million mu. In the past few days, early rice in various places has entered the mature stage and is being harvested from south to north.
At present, North China, Northeast China and other places are taking various measures to speed up the production of autumn grains and make every effort to ensure a bumper harvest of autumn grains.
Affected by the international situation, the international prices of wheat and corn have risen sharply since the beginning of this year, which has driven the prices of other agricultural products to rise. Although they have fallen recently, the international prices of soybeans, soybean meal and rice have remained firm.
In the face of the disturbance of the epidemic, my country has made great efforts to ensure spring ploughing and summer harvest, and make every effort to stabilize and increase grain production: the central government has allocated 30 billion yuan to provide subsidies for actual grain farmers; increased the minimum purchase price of rice and wheat; vigorously implemented soybean oil plant expansion Action; Arrange temporary reserves of more than 3 million tons of summer tube fertilizers, and start putting them on the market as required from June...
This year's summer grain harvest has been bumper again, with a total output of 147.39 million tons, an increase of 1.434 million tons or 1.0% over the previous year.
The area of autumn grains has increased steadily, and the growth trend is generally normal. There is a good foundation for a bumper harvest.
At present, my country has a solid foundation for ensuring supply and stabilizing prices of important commodities for people's livelihood, the market supply is generally sufficient, the foundation for stabilizing prices is solid, and the policy toolbox is abundant, providing strong support for coping with risks and challenges and stabilizing the macroeconomic market.
Be prepared without fear, and be the permanent way for the country.
Implement a prudent monetary policy, insist not to flood or over-issue money, and leave room for flexible implementation of monetary policy in response to new challenges;
Adhere to the positioning that houses are for living in, not for speculation, support localities to improve real estate policies based on local realities, and promote the stable and healthy development of the real estate market;
Make up for shortcomings and forge long boards, and focus on long-term consolidation of industrial and supply chain security; prudently handle risks in the financial sector, and resolutely maintain the bottom line of no systemic financial risks; pay attention to solving water security issues, ensure national network and information security, and ensure ecological environment safety……
In the face of various risks and challenges on the way forward, we must maintain a sense of urgency. We must be highly vigilant against "black swan" events and prevent "grey rhino" events; It is necessary to fight a strategic initiative war of turning danger into danger and turning crisis into opportunity.
Seeking the general trend: "The fundamentals of long-term improvement will not change"
On June 20, the multinational agricultural product giant Cargill announced that it would invest nearly US$30 million to establish the company's first innovative production base for flavored syrups in Pinghu City, Zhejiang Province.
"China is one of the most attractive food ingredient markets in the future. Our determination to develop in China has not changed," said Liu Jun, President of Cargill China.
Investing pays more attention to medium and long-term factors.
From January to May this year, China's actual use of foreign capital was 564.2 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 17.3%, reflecting the outside world's confidence in China's long-term economic growth.
At present, China's economy is stabilizing and recovering, but the foundation for continued recovery is still not solid, and hard work is still needed to stabilize the economy.
