Since the beginning of this year, the international environment has become more complex and severe, domestic epidemics have frequently spread, the adverse impact has increased significantly, the economic development has been extremely unusual, and unexpected unexpected factors have brought serious impact.

The CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core looks at the general situation, seeks the overall situation, and insists on maintaining stability and seeking progress while maintaining stability. China's economy has overcome difficulties, stabilized and rebounded.

"Focus Interview" will launch the series "Pilot" from today.

First of all, let's take a look at how China effectively coordinates epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development?

How to promote high-quality economic development while keeping the bottom line?

　　Since 2022, China's economy has gone through an extraordinary journey.

In the first two months of the year, driven by a series of policies to stabilize growth, China's economy recovered well.

However, since March, the highly contagious Omicron variant has spread rapidly in the country. Coupled with the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, the world has undergone tremendous changes unseen in a century, and the Chinese economy, which is recovering, is facing downward pressure again.

How to protect people's life safety and health to the greatest extent?

How to minimize the impact of the epidemic on economic and social development?

A difficult exam question is placed in front of China.

Dong Yu, executive vice president of the China Development Planning Institute of Tsinghua University, said:

"At every important time point, General Secretary Xi Jinping personally commands and steers the helm, which is also the sudden difficulty that we can overcome at every stage. and the root cause of the challenge.”

　　On March 17, at the critical moment of epidemic prevention and control, General Secretary Xi Jinping presided over a meeting of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee to review the situation, coordinate the overall situation, and make decisive decisions.

General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: "We must always adhere to the supremacy of the people and life, adhere to scientific precision and dynamic clearing, and curb the spread of the epidemic as soon as possible." Economic and social development, take more effective measures, strive to achieve the greatest prevention and control effect at the least cost, and minimize the impact of the epidemic on economic and social development."

Wang Xiangming, deputy dean of the Xi Jinping Thought Institute of Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, Renmin University of China, said:

"This meeting has played a role in setting the needle, which is what strategy we should adopt in today's epidemic prevention and control. The Party Central Committee, President Xi Jinping The secretary made the final decision, that is, persistence is victory, and we must insist on dynamic clearing."

　　Dynamic clearing is not the pursuit of zero infection, but to find and eliminate them together.

The sooner the epidemic is brought under control, the less affected economic and social development will be.

To do this, the key is two points, one is fast, and the other is precision.

At this meeting, General Secretary Xi Jinping also made arrangements for scientific and precise prevention and control.

Guo Liyan, director of the Comprehensive Situation Research Office of the China Academy of Macroeconomics, said:

"The most important feature of dynamic clearing is its speed and precision. The 'four early' -- early detection, early reporting, early isolation, and early treatment, and the small and At the same time, it is necessary to emphasize the precise epidemic prevention by division and classification. Under the guidance of the general policy, the whole country has gathered consensus, unified action, and consolidated responsibilities. Rapid response and precise epidemic prevention.”

　　Epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development are not "single-choice questions".

As early as in the fight against the epidemic in 2020, General Secretary Xi Jinping proposed an important relationship between epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development - overall planning.

Over the past two years, under the leadership of the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core, my country has embarked on a path to accurately coordinate epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development.

　　On April 29, General Secretary Xi Jinping presided over a meeting of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, proposing to efficiently coordinate epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development according to the new characteristics of virus mutation and spread, and emphasized: "The epidemic must be prevented and the economy must be stabilized. , development must be safe, this is the clear requirement of the Party Central Committee."

Dong Yu, executive vice president of the China Development Planning Institute of Tsinghua University, said:

"The epidemic must be prevented, the economy must be stabilized, and development must be safe, which points out three bottom lines in our development, and we must do a good job of coordinating these three bottom lines. Moreover, we do not plan for general planning, but to efficiently coordinate epidemic prevention and control and economic development. We must make epidemic prevention and control policies more precise, and strive to reduce the simplistic 'one size fits all' approach in the prevention and control process. The measures have caused the economic cycle to be sluggish to a greater extent. On the contrary, in the process of prevention and control, we must open up the blocking points and smooth the logistics at some key hub nodes.”

　　Six days after this meeting, on May 5, General Secretary Xi Jinping presided over a meeting of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, and once again emphasized that we must unswervingly adhere to the general policy of "dynamic clearing".

Resolutely overcome problems such as insufficient knowledge, insufficient preparation, and insufficient work, and resolutely overcome the thoughts of contempt, indifference, and self-righteousness.

Dong Yu, executive vice president of the China Development Planning Institute of Tsinghua University, said:

"The meeting on May 5 is to remind the majority of cadres that there must be no slack in the bottom line of epidemic prevention and control. As the epidemic evolves, The characteristics of the new virus, Omicron, determine that if a slight negligence occurs, the epidemic may take advantage of the situation, and it may change from a point to a surface and spread at a fast speed. Once this happens, It will definitely have a much bigger impact on the normal production and living order than before."

　　Implementing the decisions and arrangements of the CPC Central Committee, all regions and departments across the country acted quickly, focusing on epidemic prevention and control on the one hand and economic development on the other.

Implement a new combined tax and fee support policy, stabilize market players, clear logistics congestion, and accelerate the construction of new infrastructure... A series of measures have been introduced intensively to stabilize the economic market.

Guo Liyan, director of the Comprehensive Situation Research Office of the China Academy of Macroeconomics, said:

"At present, the national economy is stabilizing and picking up. During the whole process, we benefited from our adherence to the general policy of 'dynamic clearing', adherence to the mass line, and adherence to precise science. Effective epidemic prevention. Our country's system has the advantage of concentrating efforts on major events. The key is to have correct strategic decisions as pilots and guides, which can build consensus and unite actions, and use the power of all sectors, places, and groups of people in the whole society. Come together to stabilize the economy, prevent the epidemic, and better protect the bottom line of safety."

　　While efficiently coordinating epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development, General Secretary Xi Jinping has always taken a long-term perspective and firmly promoted high-quality development.

He has repeatedly emphasized that "the most important thing is to concentrate on doing your own business well."

　　To promote high-quality development, innovation-driven is the key.

Since the beginning of this year, when presiding over the relevant meetings of the Central Committee for Comprehensively Deepening Reform, General Secretary Xi Jinping has made important arrangements many times, emphasizing that the lifeline of science and technology must be firmly in his own hands.

Dong Yu, executive vice president of the China Development Planning Institute of Tsinghua University, said:

"In the current international environment, the competition between major powers is increasingly reflected in the competition of scientific and technological strengths of all parties. Whoever can innovate better has a better innovation environment. , whoever has more innovative achievements will likely occupy the commanding heights and take the initiative in future development. The general secretary emphasized in the survey that innovation is to let everyone in the economic development, never forget that innovation is national development. important motivation.”

　　To promote high-quality development, infrastructure construction is an important support.

Since the beginning of this year, from the central to local governments, major projects have been continuously implemented, and comprehensive strengthening of infrastructure construction has been placed in an important position.

In late April, when presiding over the 11th meeting of the Central Finance and Economics Committee and the meeting of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee, General Secretary Xi Jinping made important strategic arrangements in this regard.

　　Accelerating the construction of a new development pattern with the domestic cycle as the main body and the domestic and international dual cycles promoting each other is a forward-looking strategic layout made by the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core.

Since the beginning of this year, under the personal deployment and promotion of the General Secretary, the construction of a new development pattern has been steadily advanced.

　　On April 10, the relevant opinions on accelerating the construction of a unified national market were released, releasing a reform signal to comprehensively promote the transformation of my country's market from large to strong.

　　In June this year, China once again assumed the presidency of the BRICS countries.

In the series of meetings, "safety" and "development" became the key words.

General Secretary Xi Jinping proposed that all countries work together to maintain world peace and stability, adhere to cooperative development, and promote the building of a community with a shared future for mankind.

Since the beginning of this year, from the World Economic Forum, the Boao Forum for Asia to the 25th St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, etc., in his important speeches, General Secretary Xi Jinping has been sending an important signal to the world, that is, China's opening door will be Get bigger and bigger.

Guo Liyan, director of the Comprehensive Situation Research Office of the China Academy of Macroeconomics, said:

"China's big market is always a big market that is fully open. We are facing the periodic impact of the epidemic in the century. To reflect the responsibility of a big country, we must open up to promote our own domestic market. On the one hand, it needs to meet its own needs, and on the other hand, it can better meet global needs, so that the world can share the dividends of the continuous expansion and strength of the Chinese market. At the same time, our country has strengthened its own market by strengthening its own market. and industry, contribute to the stable operation of the global industrial chain and supply chain, and contribute our own strength.”

　　The epidemic must be prevented, the economy must be stabilized, and development must be safe.

Ensuring that key areas are safe and controllable is the bottom line for achieving high-quality development.

Food security has a special weight in the mind of the general secretary.

From arable land, seeds to science and technology, etc., General Secretary Xi Jinping has given important instructions many times.

The bumper harvest of summer grains has laid a solid foundation for us to secure our Chinese rice bowl, and it has also added confidence to stabilize prices and effectively deal with various risks and challenges.

Since the beginning of this year, my country has given full play to the role of coal as a "ballast stone", continuously promoted the work of ensuring energy supply and stabilizing prices, and firmly adhered to the bottom line of energy security.

　　In the first half of this year, despite facing many challenges, under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core, we effectively coordinated the work of epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development, and achieved positive results in epidemic prevention and control, and new achievements in economic and social development.

On July 28, the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee held a meeting to fully affirm this achievement and make arrangements for economic work in the second half of the year.

The fundamentals of China's economy, which is resilient, has ample potential, and has ample room for manoeuvre, will remain positive in the long run.

In accordance with the requirements of General Secretary Xi Jinping, by maintaining strategic focus and doing our own work firmly, we will have the confidence to keep the economy operating within a reasonable range and strive to achieve the best results.
