  In the future, how will China's economy go, how will its food and rice bowls be served, how to maintain energy security, and how to persist in opening up to the outside world...

In response to the concerns of China's economy, the three officials answered and responded to their concerns one by one, conveying three major signals of China's economy.

China's economy is resilient and has huge potential

  At present, the international situation is complicated and severe, and the new crown epidemic is spreading in many places. The "triple pressure" facing the Chinese economy has not been relieved. What is the economic outlook?

  Zhao Chenxin said bluntly that, affected by changes in the domestic and foreign environment, there are still some prominent contradictions and problems in the current economic operation, and economic development still faces many difficulties and challenges.

"But it should be noted that, in the face of the impact of unexpected factors, China's economy has stabilized and rebounded in a relatively short period of time, showing strong resilience and huge potential."

  He pointed out that China has a population of more than 1.4 billion, the world's largest middle-income group, a super-large market advantage, a complete industrial system, a complete industrial chain, and an increasingly modern infrastructure system.

Zhao Chenxin believes that these conditions provide huge opportunities and broad market space for the development of various enterprises.

  "We have done a lot of monitoring recently, and orders for key equipment such as energy equipment, petrochemical equipment, mining machinery, construction machinery, CNC machine tools, and industrial robots in China have grown significantly, which is very gratifying. All these provide relevant upstream and downstream enterprises. A rare opportunity." Zhao Chenxin said.

Keep the bottom line of security and improve security capabilities in key areas

  The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposed to strengthen the ability to maintain national security, including "ensure the security of food, energy resources, and important industrial chains and supply chains."

  ——In order to ensure that the Chinese people's rice bowls are firmly in their own hands, Cong Liang, director of the State Bureau of Grain and Material Reserves, said that "grain storage in the land" should be implemented, and efforts to protect cultivated land and farmland construction should be strengthened; ”, strengthen scientific and technological support such as the modern seed industry; optimize the production layout, enhance the comprehensive grain production capacity; strengthen the regulation of purchase and storage, and achieve a dynamic balance between grain supply and demand at a higher level; carry out grain saving and loss reduction, and promote grain conservation and nutritional health.

"In the future, we have the foundation, the conditions, the ability, and the confidence, and we will always firmly grasp the initiative in food security, and the road to food security with Chinese characteristics will become wider and wider." Cong Liang said.

  ——In order to maintain the bottom line of energy security, Ren Jingdong, deputy director of the National Energy Administration, talked about how China focuses on maintaining the bottom line of energy security from three aspects: solid foundation and strong foundation, orderly replacement, and risk management.

Specifically, it is necessary to strive to achieve an annual comprehensive energy production capacity of more than 4.6 billion tons of standard coal by 2025, and to ensure that the proportion of non-fossil energy consumption will reach about 20% by 2025 and 25% by 2030. In addition, we must resolutely Guarantee the safety of energy consumption in the production and life of the people.

  ——In order to continuously improve the resilience and security level of the industrial chain and supply chain, Zhao Chenxin said that it is necessary to forge long plates to make up for shortcomings, stabilize industrial production, optimize industrial layout, deepen open cooperation, and strengthen risk prevention.

  In the context of the normalization of epidemic prevention and control, he specifically mentioned that it is necessary to make every effort to prevent the arbitrary closure of key enterprises in the industrial chain and key enterprises involved in ensuring people's livelihood, and resolutely avoid problems such as simplification, one-size-fits-all and layer-by-layer overweighting of epidemic prevention and control. , and strive to ensure the orderly operation of the industrial park and the normal production and operation of enterprises.

China's three determinations will not change, the door will open wider and wider

  Some voices at home and abroad believe that "taking the domestic cycle as the main body" means that China will significantly shrink in opening up to the outside world, or even talk about developing a self-sufficient economy?

  "This understanding is wrong." In response to such a misunderstanding, Zhao Chenxin clearly responded that in today's world, the trend of economic globalization is irreversible, and no country can engage in construction behind closed doors, and China has long been deeply connected with the world economy and the international system. Integration has a relatively high degree of industrial correlation and interdependence with many countries in the world, and the domestic and foreign demand markets themselves are interdependent and mutually reinforcing.

  Zhao Chenxin said bluntly that China's determination to expand high-level opening up will not change, its determination to share development opportunities with the world will not change, and its determination to promote economic globalization towards a more open, inclusive, inclusive, balanced and win-win direction will not change. Change.

In the future, China's door will only open wider and wider, and China's development will provide more opportunities and inject strong impetus into the region and the world.

  In the question and answer between you and me, Zhao Chenxin also took the opportunity to turn the reception into a "promotion meeting" for investment promotion.

At the scene, he shouted to foreign reporters: "There are many foreign reporters here. Using this occasion, I hope you will understand and help us introduce. We welcome companies from all over the world to invest in China and continue to share China's development dividends." (End)
