  The Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China held a meeting on July 28 to analyze and study the current economic situation and deploy economic work in the second half of the year.

The meeting pointed out that reform and opening up should be used as a driving force for economic development.

Around this goal, three tasks are focused.

  "Sprint" the three-year action of state-owned enterprise reform

  State-owned enterprises are regarded as the "pillars" of China's high-quality economic development.

The meeting emphasized the need to continue to implement the three-year action plan for the reform of state-owned enterprises.

  Under the impact of the epidemic, state-owned enterprises have become an important force in stabilizing the economic market.

In the first six months of this year, central SOEs achieved a net profit of 1.1 trillion yuan (RMB, the same below), a year-on-year increase of 6.1%.

The accumulated taxes and fees paid were 1.5 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 14.4%.

A total of 1.2 trillion yuan of fixed asset investment was completed, a year-on-year increase of 6.7%.

  The competitiveness, innovation, and anti-risk capabilities of state-owned enterprises have been continuously enhanced, largely due to the continuous deepening of reforms in recent years.

  This year marks the final year of the three-year reform of state-owned enterprises.

Entering the "sprint" stage, both central enterprises and local state-owned enterprises are hurrying to speed up and accelerate reform tasks such as mixed-ownership reform and listing, and mid- and long-term incentives to ensure the "ringing of the bell".

According to the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council, as of the end of June, the completion rate of reform tasks and measures at the central enterprises and local provincial levels has exceeded 95%.

  "Reform must be tangible, but also spiritual." Peng Huagang, secretary-general of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council, said that key reform tasks such as market-oriented mechanisms should be placed in a prominent position in the high-quality final stage, and the effectiveness of the reform should be carried out according to the standards to be handled. Re-evaluation and re-inspection to ensure both excellent quality and both spirit and form.

  Healthy and sustainable development of platform economy

  Platform economic regulation has always attracted much attention.

The meeting proposed to promote the healthy and sustainable development of the platform economy, complete the special rectification of the platform economy, implement normalized supervision of the platform economy, and focus on launching a number of "green light" investment cases.

  Since the beginning of this year, Chinese officials have repeatedly spoken out about the development of the platform economy.

On April 29, when analyzing and studying the economic situation, the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China pointed out that it is necessary to promote the healthy development of the platform economy, complete the special rectification of the platform economy, implement normalized supervision, and introduce specific measures to support the standardized and healthy development of the platform economy.

The recent State Council executive meeting reiterated the relevant statement, and also proposed to "give full play to the role of the platform economy in creating employment and promoting consumption".

  At the specific policy level, nine departments including the National Development and Reform Commission, the State Administration for Market Regulation, and the Central Cyberspace Administration jointly issued the "Several Opinions on Promoting the Standardized, Healthy and Sustainable Development of the Platform Economy" at the beginning of the year. Market environment.

  This series of statements and policies on the development of the platform economy are stable and continuous, and it is not difficult for the market to read a clear signal of "emphasizing both development and regulation".

  Wen Bin, chief economist of China Minsheng Bank, said that the role of the platform economy in promoting innovation and creating employment opportunities cannot be ignored.

The completion of special rectification and the implementation of normalized supervision and other measures will help stabilize the platform's economic confidence and focus on its positive role.

  The expansion of opening up to the outside world keeps pace

  Opening up has always been a key move for China's development.

The meeting stated that it is necessary to actively promote exports, expand imports, do a good job in the introduction of technology and foreign capital, and promote the high-quality development of the joint construction of the "Belt and Road".

  Despite the impact of unexpected factors such as the epidemic, China's integration into the global economy has not stopped this year.

In the first half of this year, China's foreign trade bucked the trend. The total import and export value reached US$3.08 trillion, a year-on-year increase of 10.3%; the actual use of foreign capital in US dollars increased by more than 20% year-on-year.

  The 2nd China International Consumer Goods Fair, which is being held hotly, is the latest example.

This year's Consumer Expo has attracted more than 2,800 exhibiting brands from home and abroad, which not only provides opportunities for companies from all over the world to share the Chinese market, but also creates business opportunities for Chinese and other countries' consumer products to be sold to the world.

  Huang Wenkai, Vice Chairman of KPMG China, said that in the context of global economic turmoil, China has effectively controlled the epidemic and has launched a series of policies to stabilize foreign investment, including further reducing the negative list for foreign investment access, and continuously optimizing the foreign investment environment. , enhancing its attractiveness to foreign investment.

This not only shows China's open attitude towards the world, but also fully shows that China is willing to join hands with the world to create a new future and inject new impetus into the world economy.
