What are the heavy signals released at the first meeting of the 20th Central Deep Reform Commission?

On April 4, the first meeting of the 21th Central Committee for Comprehensively Deepening Reform was held. This is the first appearance of the <>th Central Committee for Comprehensively Deepening Reform.

The meeting focused on one theme: comprehensively deepening reform; Three topics: scientific and technological innovation, state-owned economy, and private economy. The weight speaks for itself.

■ Scientific and technological innovation

First, let's look at technological innovation. Scientific and technological innovation is a powerful driving force for high-quality development. At present, the instability and uncertainty of the international situation are increasing, the risk of world economic stagflation is inevitable in the post-epidemic era, the global industrial chain and supply chain are facing restructuring, scientific and technological innovation has become the main battlefield of the international strategic game, and the competition around the commanding heights of science and technology is becoming more and more fierce. To accelerate the realization of high-level scientific and technological self-reliance and self-improvement, it is necessary to strengthen the main position of enterprise scientific and technological innovation, accelerate the transformation of the government's scientific and technological management functions, create a good innovation ecology, and continuously stimulate the vitality of innovation subjects.

One of the key points of the first meeting of the 20th Central Committee for Comprehensively Deepening Reform is the main position of enterprises in scientific and technological innovation. Enterprises are closest to the market, responsive to market demand, and have a strong desire to innovate to meet market demand. In the decade of the new era, the main position of China's enterprises in scientific and technological innovation has been continuously enhanced, and the innovation elements have accelerated to converge on enterprises. Independent innovation is the life of an enterprise, and the foundation for an enterprise to climb through difficulties and develop and grow. Key core technologies must be firmly in your hands.

The meeting pointed out that strengthening the main position of enterprises in scientific and technological innovation is a key measure to deepen the reform of the scientific and technological system and promote the realization of high-level scientific and technological self-reliance. Focusing on "for whom to innovate, who to innovate, what to innovate, and how to innovate", the meeting also made relevant arrangements.

General Secretary Xi Jinping is here and every time he investigates and investigates local areas, innovation is one of the aspects he pays the most attention to. The general secretary has repeatedly walked into the front line of enterprise research and development, repeatedly emphasized the importance of key core technologies, and pointed out the path and direction for the majority of enterprises to rely on independent innovation and break through key core technologies. "It is necessary to strengthen the main position of enterprises, promote the deep integration of innovation chain, industrial chain, capital chain, and talent chain, continuously improve the level of transformation and industrialization of scientific and technological achievements, and create an industrial science and technology innovation center with global influence." "In the direction of the target, we must plan the layout ahead of time, increase investment, focus on conquering a number of key core technologies, and accelerate the pace of catching up and even leading the pace." "Innovation is the source of the core competitiveness of enterprises, and many core technologies cannot be found or bought."

We can see that the Party Central Committee has been vigorously promoting enterprises to become the main body of innovation, which makes innovation and demand closer, closer to practicality, and more consistent with economic development, and innovation can be transformed into scientific and technological achievements at the fastest speed. Making innovation more efficient and practical can also make the future of China's economy more resilient and self-reliant.

■ State-owned economy

The state-owned economy is an important pillar of national economic development and plays the role of "stabilizer" and "ballast stone" in stabilizing the overall economic market.

Regarding deepening the reform of state-owned enterprises, since the 1th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee has made a series of major arrangements, from the issuance of the "<>+N" series of documents to the three-year action of state-owned enterprise reform. Today, the reform of state-owned enterprises has entered a new stage. The report of the <>th National Congress of the Communist Party of China pointed out that it is necessary to accelerate the optimization and structural adjustment of the layout of the state-owned economy, promote the strengthening of state-owned capital and state-owned enterprises, and enhance the core competitiveness of enterprises. The Central Economic Work Conference held last year and this year's government work report both put forward the content of adhering to the reform of classification and improving the governance of state-owned enterprises.

What is the next step in the reform of the state-owned economy? The first meeting of the 20th Central Committee for Comprehensively Deepening Reform pointed out the direction.

First of all, the meeting determined the mission, task and functional positioning of the state-owned economy in the new era and new journey, and made it clear that to strengthen and improve the management of the state-owned economy, it is necessary to have a strategic height. The meeting pointed out that from the strategic perspective of building a new development pattern of services, promoting high-quality development, promoting common prosperity and safeguarding national security, improve the security responsibility, quality structure, assets and enterprise management of the state-owned economy.

It is particularly noteworthy that this is the first time that state-owned economic management has been included in the agenda of the Central Deep Reform Commission meeting. It is believed that in the next aspects of "safety responsibility, quality structure, assets and enterprise management", the state-owned economy will make great moves.

Secondly, the meeting also put forward the next step of the reform of state-owned enterprises - focus on making up for shortcomings, strengths and weaknesses, solid base, and build a top-level overall management system with clear rights and responsibilities, efficient operation and strong supervision.

On the day of the first meeting of the 20th Central Committee for Comprehensively Deepening Reform, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission also held a conference on promoting the informatization of state-owned central enterprises. The meeting pointed out that efforts should be made to improve the level of intelligent supervision, comprehensively promote the construction of the cloud system and big data system of state-owned central enterprises, and in the process of building world-class enterprises, simultaneously build first-class information capabilities, better promote the improvement of the efficiency of state-owned assets supervision, accelerate the high-quality development of state-owned central enterprises, and contribute more to the modernization of the national governance system and governance capabilities.

It is believed that with the launch of a new round of SOE reform, a batch of modern new SOEs with clear powers and responsibilities, efficient operation and strong supervision will emerge.

■ Private economy

The private economy is the "ballast stone" for stable social development and the "main battlefield" for economic innovation and development. General Secretary Xi Jinping has repeatedly stressed the need to earnestly implement the "two unwavering", and the Party Central Committee has always attached great importance to the development of the private economy and encouraged and supported the high-quality development of the private economy.

As early as 2019, the <>th meeting of the <>th Central Committee for Comprehensively Deepening Reform deliberated and adopted the Opinions on Creating a Better Development Environment to Support the Reform and Development of Private Enterprises. The opinions point out that it is necessary to create a long-term stable development environment that is market-oriented, rule-of-law, and institutionalized, and ensure that all ownership economies use production factors equally in accordance with the law, participate in market competition openly, fairly and justly, and enjoy equal legal protection.

The Central Economic Work Conference held in December last year made it clear that it is necessary to set down the requirements for equal treatment of state-owned enterprises and private enterprises in terms of system and law, encourage and support the development and growth of the private economy and private enterprises in terms of policy and public opinion, and protect the property rights of private enterprises and the rights and interests of entrepreneurs in accordance with the law. Leading cadres at all levels should do practical things for private enterprises to solve problems and build pro-Qing government-business relations.

At this year's National People's Political Consultative Conference, General Secretary Xi Jinping proposed that private entrepreneurs "lay down their burdens and boldly develop" when visiting members of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.

The first meeting of the 20th Central Committee for Comprehensively Deepening Reform once again emphasized the importance of the private economy. The meeting pointed out that supporting the development of the private economy is the consistent policy of the Party Central Committee.

How to promote the development and growth of the private economy? This conference gave answers from both the aspects of business environment and policy.

The meeting pointed out that efforts should be made to optimize the environment for the development of the private economy, break down the institutional barriers that restrict the fair participation of private enterprises in market competition, guide private enterprises to find their correct positioning in high-quality development, and continuously improve the quality of development through their own reform and development, compliant operation, transformation and upgrading.

The meeting also proposed to improve the implementation of policies, strengthen policy coordination, promote the precise and direct delivery of various preferential policies, and effectively solve the practical difficulties of enterprises. It is believed that with the introduction of a series of relevant policies in the future, private entrepreneurs will be more motivated, more confident and more at ease.

■ Deepen reform

With regard to reform, this year is a special year: the first year to fully implement the spirit of the 45th CPC National Congress, the 10th anniversary of reform and opening up and the <>th anniversary of the Third Plenary Session of the <>th CPC Central Committee.

Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, we have comprehensively deepened reform with great political courage and opened up a brand-new situation with unprecedented intensity. In the decade of the new era, the reforms we have promoted are all-round, deep-seated and fundamental, and the achievements we have made are historic, revolutionary and groundbreaking.

The first meeting of the 20th Central Committee for Comprehensively Deepening Reform made clear the great significance of comprehensively deepening reform, which is the fundamental driving force and an important starting point - it is necessary to take the comprehensive deepening of reform as the fundamental driving force for promoting Chinese-style modernization, and as an important starting point for stabilizing the overall situation, responding to changes and opening up a new situation. The latest "Party and State Institutional Reform Plan" introduced this year shows us the strength, determination and courage of national reform. Regarding this reform, General Secretary Xi Jinping once pointed out: "On the whole, this reform of party and state institutions highlights key industries and fields, is relatively targeted, relatively strong, involves a wide range, touches on deeper interests, and strives to solve some difficult issues of great importance and social concern, which will have an important impact on economic and social development." ”

For the reform on the new journey, the meeting made further arrangements. The meeting made it clear that it is necessary to focus on major issues in the comprehensive construction of a modern socialist country, plan and promote reform, make good use of the favorable conditions created by institutional reform, and strive to overcome some more difficult points in eliminating the shortcomings of various systems and mechanisms and adjusting the pattern of deep-seated interests.

It is particularly worth mentioning that the meeting emphasized the need to strengthen reform research and research. The "style of investigation and study in Daxing" was written into this year's government work report, and not long ago, the CPC Central Committee decided to conduct investigation and study in a vigorous manner throughout the party. The first meeting of the 20th Central Committee for Comprehensively Deepening Reform expanded the "style of investigation and research in Daxing" to the field of reform, which is the embodiment of the comprehensive implementation of the "style of investigation and study in Daxing".

The meeting pointed out that we should go to the localities and departments where contradictions and problems are concentrated, go down to the grassroots level and go to the masses, experience the facts, dissect the sparrows, not only study specific problems in depth, but also be good at comprehensively integrating the situation in all aspects, and use more brains and efforts in overall thinking and overall work.

On the new journey, the blueprint for reform has been drawn, and our next step is to align the direction of reform, clarify the goals and tasks, really do solid work, and carry out the reform to the end!
