Under the concern of the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core, the post-earthquake recovery and reconstruction work in Wenchuan has achieved remarkable results.

　　In the new era, a prominent feature of the Party Central Committee governing the country with the Supreme Leader as the core is to speak clearly about politics. Since the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has pointed out on many occasions that the quality and ability of a cadre in party member should first be judged by whether he is politically stable and reliable, and whether he consciously safeguards the authority of the CPC Central Committee and centralizes and leads. Among all the abilities of leading cadres, political ability is the first. Grasping the connotation of current politics and its ruling logic scientifically is of great practical significance for improving political position, strengthening political awareness and enhancing political skills.

　　1. The political mission of the Party in the new era is to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

　　In the party’s political discourse, in addition to the use of political concepts in the sense of political power, politics is also used from the perspective of the connotation of the times and the basis of governance. The most typical is two sentences: development is the biggest politics; Popular support is the greatest politics. In May 2015, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out at the Central United Front Work Conference that the opposition of people and the contrast of strength are the key to the success or failure of the cause of the party and the people, and they are the biggest politics. Development is people-centered, and only by constantly meeting the people’s growing needs for a better life can we win the masses and win the times. Of course, we are talking about all-round development, not just economic development; It is scientific development, not extensive development.

　　The 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China clarified the party’s initial intention and mission, and actually gave politics a brand-new connotation: seeking happiness for the people of China and rejuvenation for the Chinese nation. On December 1, 2017, at the high-level dialogue between the Communist Party of China (CPC) and the world’s political parties, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader emphasized: strive for peace and development for mankind. The Communist Party of China (CPC) is not only a political party seeking happiness for the people of China, but also a political party striving for the cause of human progress, and always takes making greater contributions to mankind as its mission.

　　The Communist Party of China (CPC)’s political mission in the new era is to take charge of the "Four Greatness", adhere to and develop Socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era, and complete the Chinese dream of building a well-off society in an all-round way, basically realizing socialist modernization, building a socialist modernization power in an all-round way and realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation step by step. It can be seen that the politics we are talking about is by no means "short politics", but by solving the problem of insufficient imbalance, we can better meet the people’s growing needs for a better life; Our struggle is by no means a "class struggle", but to overcome all kinds of difficulties and obstacles on the road of national rejuvenation with historical responsibility and fearless spirit; Now, when we talk about revolution again, we want to maintain the enterprising spirit formed in the revolutionary era and continue to promote social change and the self-construction of the ruling party.

　　2. The overall leadership of the Party is the premise and guarantee to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

　　In recent years, several major political conclusions have been repeatedly emphasized: the Communist Party of China (CPC) is the highest political leadership force in China; Party, government, military and civilian studies, east, west, north and south, the party is the leader of everything; The Communist Party of China (CPC)’s leadership is the most essential feature of Socialism with Chinese characteristics and the greatest advantage of Socialism with Chinese characteristics system. In this regard, we should strengthen our understanding of the following aspects:

　　First, the emphasis on the party’s overall leadership and the party leading everything now is mainly due to the fact that the party’s leadership has been blurred, weakened and marginalized for a period of time. Some people don’t deny the party’s leadership verbally, but when they get busy, they put it aside, and the organization, personnel and work are not in place or become a mere formality. Some people even use the excuse of "separation of party and government" to weaken and overhead the party’s leadership. As a result, the party’s leadership is blurred, weakened and marginalized, and it is difficult to fully implement the major decisions of the central government, and the management of cadres in party member is lax and soft, which leads to corruption, bad work style and other problems.

　　Second, to accomplish the major deployment, political mission or historical mission in the new era, we must unify our thoughts and actions and break the pattern of vested interests, otherwise we will delay the opportunity and accomplish nothing. This process is full of predictable and unpredictable risks. Without the central flag-raising orientation, subversive mistakes may occur. Therefore, emphasizing the centralized and unified leadership of the CPC Central Committee is an urgent need to meet major challenges, resist major risks, overcome major obstacles and solve major contradictions.

　　Third, the overall leadership of the party is mainly political leadership. The so-called political leadership, first of all, is the leadership in political direction, political decision-making, political discipline, etc. In order to realize this kind of leadership, we need ideological, organizational and cadre protection. From the point of view, the overall leadership of the party is not the leadership at the management and operation levels. From the perspective of role orientation, the party’s leadership should "take the overall situation and coordinate all parties"; From the function point of view, the content of the party’s leadership is to "take the direction, seek the overall situation, formulate policies and promote reform." A series of specific expositions by the Supreme Leader General Secretary also dialectically expounded the relationship between the Party and other parties. On the one hand, it highlighted the importance of the Party’s leadership, on the other hand, it also paid attention to giving full play to the enthusiasm of all parties. In other words, upholding and strengthening the party’s overall leadership is not to replace specific organizations and take care of some specific things in great detail. The view that emphasizing everything under the leadership of the party means "no distinction between party and government" and "unity of party and government" is incorrect.

　　3. The party’s leadership should be strong, and political construction must be given priority.

　　The content of the party’s political construction includes seven aspects: First, political loyalty. Ensure that the whole party obeys the central authorities, and uphold the authority of the Party Central Committee and centralized and unified leadership. The second is the political line. Adhere to the party’s basic line in the primary stage of socialism and consciously implement the major decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee. The third is political discipline. Strictly abide by political discipline and rules, and maintain a high degree of consistency with the CPC Central Committee in political stance, political direction, political principles and political road. The fourth is political life. Strictly implement some norms of inner-party political life under the new situation, and create a good political ecology with a clean atmosphere. The fifth is political principle. Strict implementation of democratic centralism not only fully promotes democracy, but also is good at centralization and unification. Sixth, political value. Be loyal, honest, fair and upright, realistic, honest and clean, and prevent and correct the erosion of the principle of commodity exchange. The seventh is political responsibility. Constantly improve political awareness and political ability, so as to be loyal to the party, share worries for the party, perform due duties for the party and benefit the people.

　　Guiding the Party’s all-round construction with political construction will fully and concretely embody the above seven aspects in all fields of Party building.

　　In terms of ideological construction, highlight political ideals. Firmly believe in Marxism, the lofty ideal of communism and the common ideal of Socialism with Chinese characteristics, and persist in arming our minds and guiding our work with Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought of the Supreme Leader in the new era. In terms of organizational construction, highlight political standards. Party member, which deviates from the requirements of political construction, can’t develop and its cadres can’t be reused. In terms of work style construction, we should highlight our political stance. Adhere to the mass line, strictly implement the eight central regulations, and establish a correct view of political achievements. In terms of discipline construction, highlight political rules. Strictly abide by the provisions of party discipline and state law and keep all kinds of bottom lines. In the fight against corruption, we should stress political inspection and supervision, and urge party organizations at all levels, party member and cadres to fulfill their political responsibilities.

　　To sum up, achieving the goal of "two hundred years" and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is the most fundamental requirement of politics in the new era and the historical mission of the party; To fulfill the political mission of the new era, we must uphold and strengthen the party’s overall leadership, especially political leadership; To be strong and powerful, the Party’s leadership must implement the requirements of political construction and promote the comprehensive and strict management of the Party. This is the fundamental logic of the party’s ruling in the new era.

　　CCTV News:According to official website news of the Ministry of Public Security, on August 10th, the Ministry of Public Security held a press conference to inform the public security organs of the effectiveness of cracking down on illegal crimes against citizens’ personal information. Thomas lee, deputy director of the Network Security Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security, said that with the wide application of face recognition technology and the progress of artificial intelligence technology, face recognition and verification crimes came into being. The materials used by criminals to implement "AI face change" are mainly photos, especially ID photos. At the same time, the face recognition verification system is broken through by combining the name and ID number of the person. In order to prevent and crack down on this new type of crime, the public security organs, in conjunction with the State Key Laboratory and other units, carried out the safety assessment of face recognition and in-vivo detection technology, covering key apps such as instant messaging, webcasting, social networking, e-commerce platform and financial payment, which have a large number of users in China and have prominent hidden problems, and timely discovered the potential risks existing in the face recognition verification system, and notified the operators to upgrade security protection measures and face recognition algorithms. At the same time, relying on the special action of "Net Net", we organized a special battle to crack down on the source of crimes that leaked image information such as ID card photos, cracked 79 cases of "AI face-changing" and arrested 515 suspects, effectively curbing the momentum of such crimes.　

　　CCTV News:On July 20th, CCTV’s "International Sharp Review" broadcast an article entitled "The Secret of American Enterprises Obtaining High Profits in China", which was reprinted by many overseas media.

　　On July 20-21, facebook account of French Radio LCF, German website of European Times, German-Chinese Report website, Russian Siberian News website, Spanish Radio International website, Turkish Economic Observer website, Kazakh newspaper official website, Nordic Times website, American Business Daily website, European Union Chinese website, African Times website, Canadian Business Daily website, Hungarian United Daily website, Chinese PT portal. On July 21st, Hong Kong Ta Kung Pao and Wen Wei Po also published this article. The main reports are as follows:

　　The Section 301 Committee of the United States will hold a hearing from August 20th to 23rd to discuss the list of US government’s proposal on July 10th to impose a 10% tariff on China’s $200 billion goods exported to the United States. The Trump administration said that the United States did this because of China’s improper behavior and unfair trade practices, including government subsidies, which brought huge losses to the United States. Is this the truth?

　　First of all, thanks to China’s fast-growing economy and huge consumer market, many American companies are very successful in the China market.

　　The world’s second largest manufacturer of connectors and cable components, Amphenol Group of the United States, just entered the China market, relying on mergers and acquisitions to develop rapidly. In 2007, Amphenol finally became the dominant company through two barriers: patents and standards, and earned high profits from relevant markets in China every year. At present, Amphenol controls 80% of the high-speed connector market in China communication equipment and server industry.

　　In fact, Ann Fanor is not the only American company that has achieved great success in the China market. According to statistics, the market share of glass substrates of American Corning Company in China is over 50%, and China’s 10th and 5th generation glass substrates are all monopolized by Corning Company. As for Apple and General Motors, China has become not only their production base, but also the largest consumer market for their products.

　　Secondly, in order to encourage foreign enterprises to invest or develop certain priority industries, local governments in China often give a lot of preferential policies and financial support to joint ventures, which not only provides an important boost to the development of American companies, but also becomes a source of high profits.

　　After China joined the WTO, a large number of American companies made huge profits from China. For example, in 2017, the two joint ventures of General Motors in China realized a total profit of 27.99 billion yuan, from which General Motors took a profit of 13.33 billion yuan.

　　As the world’s largest IC consumer market, nearly half of the world’s IC products are sold to China. Last year, the revenue of 20 major integrated circuit companies in the United States in China exceeded $75 billion, accounting for about 35% of the total revenue of these 20 companies.

　　Washington launched a trade war against China under the banner of protecting American interests. It is hard to understand that such unilateral measures will benefit these American companies in China, which have already made huge profits? The common sense of the international community has always been that a trade war brings a double loss, not a win-win situation.

Who would have thought that this "May Day" holiday, a warehouse discount store in a small county in Hebei Province, has also become a "conformity". The people who came to spend money pushed shopping carts full of goods and formed a spectacular "long queue".

In recent years, the retail industry is facing challenges and transformation. On the one hand, with the overall recovery of China’s macro economy, the department store retail industry is also recovering as a whole; However, on the other hand, head retail enterprises have shifted their digital focus to improving quality and efficiency inward and looking for more accurate positioning, which has intensified competition in the industry. Coupled with the continuous impact of e-commerce and the rising pressure of offline retail operating costs, the retail industry, especially the county retail system, is in need of an unprecedented profound transformation in rebuilding supply and marketing links, transforming the circulation system, reducing procurement costs, and providing intelligent services.

Some experts believe that the transformation of the retail industry requires the transformation of business entities from selling goods to guiding production and innovative lifestyles, from extensive development to focusing on quality and efficiency, from decentralized and independent competitors to integrating and coordinating new ecology, and moving towards diversified and innovative development. Take Tongfu Group as an example, it is planning to create a "China version of Sam" by innovating the warehouse discount store model, pry open the vast county consumer market, change the current situation of physical retail with "new species" and "new model" and inject new vitality.

New Species: Tongfu Explosives Warehouse "Detonates" County Consumption

On the first day of May Day, Tongfu Explosives Warehouse (Old Town) located in Hengshui, Hebei Province (hereinafter referred to as "Old Town Warehouse") once again ushered in the "peak" of consumption.

There is still more than an hour before the business hours, and the in-store broadcast has sounded the recent popular pop music. In this warehouse, which covers an area of over 2,000 square meters and is decorated in a minimalist style, all kinds of goods are neatly packed, and more than 30 shop assistants are making final preparations in their respective cargo areas.

During the "May 1" period, the price of the parallel wine area in Gucheng Cang was generally lower than that of the general supermarkets and convenience stores. People’s Network Zhu Yansheng photo

Better quality, lower price. During the "May Day" period, Gucheng Cang launched activities such as free delivery of 1,000 kilograms of edible salt and shocking prices of vegetables. From a box of 24 bottles of 550ml Tongfu mineral water in 6.9 yuan, to a box of 12 boxes of Mengniu pure milk at 36.8 yuan, and then to two bottles of 42-degree Hengshui Laobaigan in 530 yuan … Tongfu’s benefits to consumers are really visible, prompting consumers to take action.

Li Qi, head of Tongfu Group’s Tongfu Explosives Warehouse Center, introduced that Tongfu Explosives Warehouse allows consumers to really experience the benefits through the hard discount mode.

"On April 13, the first day’s operating income exceeded 800,000 yuan." Li Hui, the manager of Tongfu Explosives Warehouse (Old Town), said that during the "May 1" period, the store’s sales revenue is expected to reach a new high.

From the eve of this year’s Spring Festival, the first Tongfu explosive warehouse in Zhengding, Shijiazhuang was officially opened, and from Hengshui Old City, Bozhou, Anhui Province to Handan Daming, which was opened during the May 1 ST period, Tongfu explosive warehouses in various places all appeared the phenomenon of "opening immediately". According to the data provided by Tongfu Group, during the "May 1" period, the single-day turnover of Tongfu explosive warehouses with an area of more than 2,000 square meters was about 500,000 yuan.

"In the past year, consumers in China have undergone multiple tests. While paying attention to product performance, quality and brand reputation, consumers are also paying more and more attention to the rationality of prices. The retail industry in China has entered the’ cost-effective era’." Patrick Cua, managing director of Nielsen IQ in China, believes that for FMCG retailers and brands, it is necessary to explore opportunities in different consumer perceptions, formulate more accurate pricing and promotion strategies according to the performance and price growth trend of different categories, and seek new growth opportunities.

"We continue to bring value to consumers and stores with better products and services and lower prices." Li Qi said that Tongfu Explosives Warehouse is a sunken market warehouse discount store built by Tongfu Group based on the vast county market. By integrating the upstream and downstream supply chains such as manufacturers, distributors and terminal stores, it can improve quality and increase efficiency, and realize the goal of "when manufacturers come to your home, they will also wholesale everything".

On April 15th, Deloitte China released the report "Overview of Consumer Goods and Retail Industry 2024", which showed that the discounted operation met the current consumers’ demands for products with both quality and cost performance. This operation mode may remain in the retail format for a long time and become an effective strategy to attract and retain customers.

"For the vast number of county consumers, Tongfu Explosives Warehouse is a’ new species’." Distinguished professor Cheng Shaoshan, a well-known marketing expert and EMBA/EE of Business School of Renmin University of China, believes that the residents in first-and second-tier cities have become "normal" about warehouse discount stores, but it will still bring great impact to the people in low-tier cities.

In Cheng Shaoshan’s view, the reason why Tongfu Explosives Warehouse is "hot" is not only because it caters to consumers’ requirements for consumption upgrading, but also because it conforms to the current situation of more rational consumption of ordinary people.

In addition to being sought after by consumers, Tongfu Explosive Warehouse has also been recognized by the industrial chain. "I really don’t worry about selling goods now." Jia Xiuling, the supplier of Tongfu Explosives Warehouse (Old Town), specializes in daily chemical products. In the past, she and her employees were required to go to a supermarket and convenience store to run orders. Now, they can directly sell the goods just by putting them in the warehouse. Through the technological empowerment of Tongfu Group, the number of bulk purchases can be increased, logistics costs can be reduced and operational efficiency can be improved.

"Traditional dealers run terminal stores with high cost, low consumption and slow efficiency. But if you don’t run, this batch of goods can’t be sold. " In addition, Cheng Shaoshan said that dealers are also facing the supply pressure of upstream strong manufacturers; Hard costs such as daily expenses and labor are increasing.

The appearance of Tongfu explosive warehouse can just solve these pain points in the industry. Zhuang Shuai, an expert in the retail e-commerce industry and founder of Bailian Consulting, believes that the replication and promotion of Tongfu explosive warehouse model will meet the needs of users in the sinking market in the region for local high-cost goods, accelerate the circulation of goods by dealers, and improve the turnover rate and capital efficiency.

New mode: China version of Sam with grounded gas.

"It is not a subversive of the traditional market, but an enabler." Cheng Shaoshan believes that the same warehouse discount store, different from the member stores in Sam, has chosen to take root in non-first-and second-tier cities and county markets, and its products are closer to ordinary people’s kitchens for three meals a day, and the price is also "grounded".

"In the current county market, Tongfu Explosives Warehouse is a’ new species’ with competition, but no major competitors." Cheng Shaoshan said that the traditional large-scale chain retail institutions are either "ungrounded" or do not choose a high-frequency and just-needed main track in the county market, which is not explosive. The local traditional single supermarkets and couples’ wives’ shops, which lack the ability of marketing and quality control, are not rivals of Tongfu Explosion Warehouse.

This has also been affirmed by insiders. "It is very difficult for peers to copy the Tongfu explosive warehouse model." Li Hui said that the products operated by Tongfu Explosives Warehouse are daily fast-moving products and belong to low-profit products. Tongfu, with more than 30 years of experience in entity management, has the ability to "knock down" the prices of similar commodities.

In addition to the lower cost of getting goods, Li Qi said that Tongfu Group will also send a special person to give the store a transition period of three to five months, and strive to achieve "helping the horse and sending a ride".

On the eve of the Spring Festival this year, customers in Tongfu Shared Warehouse (Zhengding) lined up to settle goods. Photo courtesy of Tongfu Group

Li Hui calculated an account. At present, the biggest cost of the old city warehouse comes from rent, water, electricity and labor, of which the rent is about 300,000 yuan per year and the labor salary costs more than 100,000 yuan per month.

However, with the support from the headquarters of Tongfu Group, the local Tongfu explosive warehouse can be more confident and calm. "What we are concerned about at this stage is how to attract more passengers and cultivate more potential customers." Li Hui said that the old city warehouse will maximize its profit through post-operation, stable volume and reasonable profit space.

In 2023, the "Three-year Action Plan for County Commerce (2023-2025)" issued by the Ministry of Commerce and other nine departments proposed to "establish a rural commercial system with county as the center, towns as the focus and villages as the foundation."

"At present, Tongfu explosive warehouse is rapidly copying and landing in the country." Zu Hongkui, head of the logistics center of Tongfu Group, said that this model will greatly promote the infrastructure construction of the county-level commercial system in China and help smooth the two-way circulation of industrial products to the countryside and agricultural products to the city.

At present, compared with first-and second-tier cities, counties with more than 50% permanent residents in China still face the contradiction between the demand for consumption upgrading and the shortage of quality supply. Cheng Shaoshan said that the vast county market needs more warehouse discount stores, represented by Tongfu Explosives Warehouse, to inject new consumption vitality.

New track: the surging momentum of the physical retail industry

Since the beginning of 2024, the fiery consumer market has shown the vitality of China’s economy. Statistics from the National Bureau of Statistics show that in the first quarter, the total retail sales of social consumer goods reached 12,032.7 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 4.7%. "Popularity" is the most intuitive perspective to observe the vitality of consumption. The "long queue" of Tongfu Explosives Warehouse shows that on the basis of strong consumer demand, the offline retail industry is trying its best to optimize the circulation link, solve the logistics bottleneck, cultivate its own internal strength, adapt to emerging markets, and create a new hot spot of county consumption in China.

Recently, Nielsen IQ released the report "Panoramic Outlook of China Consumption in 2024", which shows that China’s economic resilience and potential coexist, and consumers’ consumption strategies and behaviors are more complicated and differentiated. In the future, China’s consumer goods market will continue to grow driven by diversification of consumer demand. How to quickly identify and meet users’ needs under the challenges of increasing cost pressure and differentiation of online and offline channels has become the key to success for brands and retailers. Zhuang Shuai said that if Tongfu Explosive Warehouse can deeply cultivate the local market and sink the market and continue to provide cost-effective goods, its model is sustainable.

At present, there are more than 30 Tongfu explosive warehouses in China, including Hebei, Henan, Shandong and Anhui. In 2024, Tongfu Group plans to achieve 100 Tongfu explosive warehouses in the first half of the year, and the total number will reach 1,000 by the end of the year.

"We are not blindly seeking for speed, and we are fully rolled out. The headquarters is still strictly controlling." Li Qi revealed that at the 2024 Tongfu Sharing Platform Thousand Merchants Conference held in March this year, there were 600 dealers who reached an intention and signed a contract with Tongfu.

Who can cooperate with Tongfu Group?

Li Qi introduced that to join Tongfu Explosive Warehouse, it is necessary to meet the minimum threshold, including a mature team, sufficient warehouse area, parking lot and other hardware conditions, and the ability to accurately cover the surrounding consumer groups.

For qualified dealers, Tongfu Group will give them a week’s training and let them practice in Tongfu explosive warehouse at Zhengding headquarters for a period of time. On the basis of the above, Tongfu Group will also send people to stay in the store to assist it in business opening, commodity stacking and marketing of irregular large-scale activities.

"I believe that the Tongfu explosive warehouse model will rise from Tongfu Group and eventually form an industry trend." Li Qi said that the future retail industry will pursue high-efficiency and low-cost operation methods to get rid of the fancy outer layer.

　　In recent years, the competition between "involution" and "involution" has become a hot word on the Internet, which has attracted widespread attention, especially in the economic field. Then, how to treat the problem of involution, what is its influence, what are its manifestations, what are its causes and how to solve it? In this regard, we inviteProfessor Liu Zhibiao, Executive Dean of Changjiang Industrial Economic Research Institute of Nanjing University.,Professor Mao Zhenhua, Co-Director of Economic Research Institute of Renmin University of China.Answer.

　　What is the impact of "involution"

　　Moderator:On July 30th, 2024, the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee Conference pointed out that it is necessary to strengthen industry self-discipline and prevent "involution" vicious competition. The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China attaches great importance to preventing "involution". Then, what impact does "involution" have on the economy?

　　Liu Zhibiao:At present, the problem of "involution" has aroused widespread concern at home and abroad, which has substantially affected the situation and direction of China’s economic operation and development. There are two completely different views on this. One view is that market competition is "involution" to a certain extent. As some scholars have pointed out, Japanese enterprises are "decisive at home and decisive abroad" and gain international competitiveness through domestic market competition. Another point of view is that China’s "involution" competition leads to more and more sales and lower prices, so it is a reason for the current economic contraction. If the latter is established, the problem will become quite serious, instead of being an ordinary market competition phenomenon.

　　Mao Zhenhua:At present, the "involution" competition of enterprises in China has caused a certain impact at home and abroad. In China, the "involution" competition leads to the decline of commodity prices, which leads to the decline of corporate profits, which in turn leads to the decline of residents’ wage income and consumption power. In addition, with the further intensification of "involution" competition, the market may gradually take price as the sole criterion to measure products, which may lead to the phenomenon of "cutting corners and counterfeiting" that once existed in the era of backward technology and cruel competition in the past. In foreign countries, the "involution" of China enterprises has caused some negative public opinions.

　　The main manifestations of "involution"

　　Moderator:Whether it is "involution" or "involution" competition, what are its manifestations in the economic field?

　　Liu Zhibiao:The problem of involution can be analyzed from three levels: micro, meso and macro. At the micro level, it involves the choice of enterprise strategy and behavior, such as occupying the market at a low price; At the meso level, we need to pay attention to the relationship between enterprises within the industry, such as the relationship between entry and exit and the degree of competition; At the macro level, it is necessary to grasp the macro situation and trend from the perspective of the balance between total supply and total demand. Here, I focus on the discussion from the perspective of the middle industry.

　　First, from the perspective of industry balance, when the production capacity or supply capacity of an industry significantly exceeds the expansion speed of its market capacity, it will lead to the shrinking market share of each enterprise. Because the growth of market capacity can’t keep up with the expansion of production capacity, it is easy to trigger a price war. This situation is particularly obvious in China’s new energy automobile industry. The increase of inventory pressure and oversupply have directly led to the outbreak of price war, which has become an important factor for the automobile industry to reflect on low profit rate or even loss.

　　The second is to understand from the income of input factors. The "involution" mainly shows that the marginal income of factor input decreases until the marginal income drops to zero or becomes negative. At this time, enterprises continue to invest because vicious competition poses a threat to survival, and whoever does not continue to invest will die first. In the past, in order to attract large projects, local governments competed to provide preferential conditions, such as "three exemptions and two reductions" and "five exemptions and five reductions", which eventually led to meager local income, and most of the income flowed to investors. Excessive discretionary investment behavior not only makes the benefits flow to the capital owners too much, but also breeds a large number of groups rushing to get the benefits of the project, which in turn leads to overcapacity.

　　The third is to analyze from the perspective of innovation. In the absence of innovation, technological development mainly depends on imitation and introduction, and the competition among enterprises often manifests itself as homogeneous competition, which eventually evolves into a vicious price war. Due to the lack of differentiation and pricing ability of homogeneous competitive products, enterprises can’t control market share through product characteristics, so they can’t raise prices, so they can only compete by lowering prices.

　　Fourth, from the perspective of industrial entry, when the entry threshold of an industry is too low, or although there are certain entry thresholds, competitors can easily break through these thresholds with the support of government forces, which will lead to a rapid influx of too many enterprises in the limited market capacity. Because these enterprises can’t achieve economies of scale, they can only compete by lowering prices in the end, thus triggering a vicious price war.

　　Fifth, from the perspective of industrial chain, China has a strong production capacity in the field of end products, forming many industry giants. However, these giants often transfer the fierce competition pressure between them to upstream suppliers through various methods and channels, which shows the growth of robbing suppliers. For example, the downstream chain owner enterprise delays payment to the upstream supplier, often for half a year or even more, or forces the supplier to reduce the price by 15%-20% quickly in the short term, otherwise it refuses to purchase its products. This practice is actually to enhance their competitiveness by squeezing upstream enterprises. In addition, all kinds of centralized purchasing behaviors for final products, such as centralized purchasing in the communication equipment market and centralized purchasing in the pharmaceutical market, often lead to the price being pushed down to a surprising level, which is very serious.

　　Mao Zhenhua:The main form of "involution" competition among enterprises in China is involution price, while price reduction mainly depends on cost reduction, which comes from salary reduction, layoffs and R&D reduction. Especially for industries with relatively low industrial and technical thresholds and products that are easy to copy, latecomers have more room for cost reduction. Starting from VC (venture capital, also translated as venture capital), the first-time enterprises finally formed an industrial structure after several rounds of investment, and invested a lot of costs in this process. However, the second-time enterprises do not need such a large-scale basic investment, and can directly use ready-made technologies and equipment, so their cost is lower and it is easier to achieve "involution".

　　The deep-seated reasons of "involution"

　　Moderator:When analyzing problems, we should look at the essence through phenomena. Then, what are the deep-seated or essential reasons for the "involution" in the economic field?

　　Liu Zhibiao:The phenomenon of "involution" can be analyzed from the classical three-dimensional structure of technology, market and system.

　　First, from the strategic concept of China enterprises. For a long time, some enterprises in China have relied on the concept of competition, which is a non-cooperative competition game rather than a win-win cooperation game. This concept is based on the thinking of zero-sum competition, that is, pushing competitors into trouble by means of price reduction, thus occupying a dominant position in the market. This kind of competitive thought not only exists in the domestic market, but also prevails in the international market, but it is often not welcomed by the enterprises and governments in the host country.

　　Second, from the perspective of industrial organization structure. China’s industrial organization mechanism has long been imperfect. Specifically, despite decades of competition, China’s enterprises have not yet formed the common oligopoly market structure in modern market economy. Oligopoly market structure is the micro-foundation of market economy in developed countries, in which several oligopolistic enterprises dominate the market and at the same time drive a large number of small and medium-sized enterprises to develop in the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain. This structure promotes the competition and cooperation between the main enterprises in the industrial chain and the upstream suppliers, and forms the governance mechanism, which forms the foundation of modern market economy. In the course of industrialization of about 200 years, western countries have experienced eight large-scale waves of mergers and acquisitions, which have shaped the current market structure. In contrast, China has not experienced a similar wave of mergers and acquisitions. Therefore, the imperfection of China’s industrial organization structure and the consequent "involution" phenomenon conform to the basic laws and viewpoints revealed by industrial economics to some extent.

　　Third, from the way the government participates in competition. The way the government participates in the competition leads to or aggravates the defect of industrial organization structure to a certain extent. One of the characteristics of China’s economic system transition is that the central government devolves power to local governments instead of delegating all power to enterprises. After becoming the main body of development, local governments have a variety of means to participate in market competition. Among them, providing various preferential policies is a common way of competition for local governments. In recent years, a new phenomenon is that local governments participate in competition by setting up various funds. Local governments participate in market competition by means of fund investment, which has potential risks because it may aggravate the involution competition in the market.

　　Fourth, from the perspective of institutional mechanisms. The administrative regional pattern formed since the reform and opening up has hindered the formation of a unified national market. The administrative regional pattern makes the competition mainly between the block economies. In these massive economies, the coordination mechanism is often a mixture of administrative orders and market coordination, while the external coordination mechanism mainly depends on the administrative relationship between regions. This state has hindered the free flow of factors and fair competition to some extent. The recently issued "Guidelines for National Unified Big Market Standards" aims to solve this problem and standardize the behavior of local governments. However, because the economic, administrative and judicial functions of local governments have not been completely straightened out, the guide can play a certain role, but it cannot completely solve the problem. To solve this problem fundamentally, we need to further adhere to the market-oriented reform, clarify the basic functions of the government and the market, and then establish the division of responsibilities and the relationship between the central and local governments.

　　Mao Zhenhua:From the perspective of price, I think that the formation of "involution" competition of enterprises comes from the problem of supply and demand. Long-term oversupply will lead to overcapacity and promote enterprise involution. From the demand side, the demand has shrunk in recent years, especially the lack of domestic demand and the weakening of terminal consumption. From the supply side, a long-term supply side force will form a large amount of production capacity, leading to oversupply.

　　The convergence of industrial policies of local governments will further aggravate overcapacity, which is an important reason for the "involution" competition of enterprises. In order to attract investment, local governments have launched various industrial funds, and the convergent industrial policies have further intensified the homogenization competition. Local governments promote the development of an industry at the same time, which will soon turn an industry from a "window" into a "risk exposure". We should reflect on the advantages and disadvantages of the government’s personal investment and industrial layout, whether it is shifting from advantages exceeding disadvantages to disadvantages exceeding advantages, whether it will lead to overcapacity and further promote the "involution" competition of enterprises.

　　Ways to get rid of the problem of "involution"

　　Moderator:How to overcome the negative effects of involution? How to prevent "involution" fundamentally?

　　Liu Zhibiao:First, to solve the problem fundamentally, we must strengthen the construction of enterprise autonomy and decision-making independence, and implement hard budget constraints including economic responsibility and bankruptcy. Without the hard budget constraint mechanism, enterprises will not use resources effectively, nor will they make responsible management and strategic decisions. Such enterprises cannot compete effectively in the market.

　　The second is to carry out the system reform in which local governments participate in competition. In this system, it is necessary to stimulate the enthusiasm of local governments and prevent the occurrence of unfair competition, which constitutes a pair of contradictory relations and is a highly complex worldwide problem. It may be necessary to solve it slowly from the aspects of power restriction and separation of functions according to the requirements of rule of law.

　　The third is to reconstruct the industrial organization structure of China. National policies should be devoted to promoting the formation of monopolistic competition market structure, and promote the merger, acquisition, bankruptcy and reorganization of enterprises through market competition mechanism.

　　Fourth, the national macro-level policy efforts. Here, I will focus on some suggestions for the transformation of industrial policy:

　　First, we should support the transfer of industrial policies to the front end, rather than the back-end capacity replication. In the past, industrial policies often supported the replication and expansion of production capacity. This is correct in the era of shortage economy. But now it not only intensifies market competition and overcapacity, but also promotes the phenomenon of "involution". Industrial policy should now pay more attention to front-end research and development and innovation. Although the intensification of front-end competition may lead to repeated investment of certain resources, which seems to be a waste, it is actually a necessary cost and price for technological progress. Once an enterprise obtains results through research and development and applies for a patent, other enterprises will naturally quit. Therefore, industrial policies should shift from supporting capacity expansion to supporting scientific and technological innovation, especially front-end innovation activities.

　　Second, the subsidy mode of industrial policy needs directional adjustment. Previous policies tended to subsidize producers, which easily led to overcapacity, rent-seeking and corruption. We should turn to subsidizing consumers, users and customers to expand market demand. In this way, the problem of "involution" can be effectively alleviated.

　　Third, the implementation method of industrial policy needs to be transformed. In the past, the main practice was to select losers and winners, and selectively support those enterprises that were considered competitive without competition in advance, ignoring the development needs of other enterprises. In addition to being unfair, this practice will also contribute to overcapacity. Industrial policy should support the creation of a favorable and fair competition environment for innovation, rather than simply supporting specific enterprises.

　　Fourth, the main body of industrial policy implementation should move up. It should be combined with the reform of local government functions to transform the local leading industrial policy into the central leading industrial policy. This is the basic premise of building a unified big market in China. If the industrial policy function continues to be dominated by local governments, it will be difficult to form a unified big market in China. Because the market will be divided into block structures by local government’s industrial competition means. The implementation of the central leading industrial policy does not mean returning to the planned economy, but reducing the number of industrial policies, so that the central government can concentrate resources to support several key industries instead of intervening in all industries. In most developed countries, it is usually the function of the central government to formulate industrial policies, and local governments rarely get involved. The special situation in China is that most industrial policies are dominated by local governments, which participate in market competition not for the purpose of realizing public interests, which leads to market segmentation. Therefore, some industries that are vital to the country, especially industrial policies that are suitable for developing new quality productive forces, should be uniformly implemented at the central level, which is conducive to achieving the consistency of rules, policies and coordination of actions.

　　Mao Zhenhua:How to solve the negative effects brought by the "involution" competition of China enterprises will affect the operation of international trade and the economic trend of China. The problem of "involution" competition among enterprises in China is very complicated, and it is ultimately necessary to solve the problem in economic development. Under the background that western capitalist countries have introduced policies to support enterprises’ export, China is no exception. Before new international trade advantages are formed, we should maintain our existing advantages and not simply and rudely raise product prices to eliminate "involution", which is neither reasonable nor feasible.

　　At the same time, the government should introduce policies to protect the competitive pattern of China’s export industry under the current price advantage. However, under the premise of maintaining the existing advantages, we should actively deal with new problems. In the process of governance, we should give play to the role of market mechanism, form consistent expectations from recognizing policies to behaviors, and actively deal with the negative effects brought by "involution" competition. First, we should pay attention to the chaos of low-price competition among enterprises, and introduce relevant policies to promote fair competition and restrict enterprises from unfair competition in a way below cost. The second is to properly handle the relationship between "promising government" and "effective market" to prevent improper government intervention from aggravating overcapacity. Third, chain owners should actively take measures to comprehensively sort out the problems existing in product pricing, wages and benefits, labor assessment, etc., seriously think about it, take the initiative to take improvement measures, respond to social concerns, and make contributions to changing the "involution" competition. Finally, scientific and technological innovation should lead the development of new quality productive forces and accelerate the formation of new competitive advantages. Of course, this process is inseparable from the support of the academic community. The "involution" competition among enterprises in China has posed a very important question not only to China, but also to global economists, that is, how to reshape the world trade theory in theory. With the improvement of China’s economic development level, the basic theory of world trade and competition may change. The practice of simply relying on cost theory to build a theoretical framework needs to be adjusted in the current situation, and it is suggested to strengthen theoretical research in this field in the future.

　　Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, April 14 th Question: Why can you cheat billions of dollars by making a phone call? — — Taiwan Province telecom fraud suspects reveal fraud shady.

　　Xinhua news agency reporter

　　Recently, 77 suspects of telecom fraud were repatriated to Chinese mainland, including 32 from mainland China and 45 from Taiwan Province. This is the first time that China has brought back a telecom fraud suspect from Africa on a large scale.

　　Why are criminal dens located in distant Africa? How do criminal suspects commit telecom fraud on Chinese mainland people "from a distance"? How do a large number of fraud gangs divide their work and cooperate? What kind of fraud tricks are behind their repeated success and taking away hundreds of millions of stolen money?

　　On the 14th, with the approval of the case-handling organ, the reporter interviewed the police handling the case and some telecom fraud suspects in custody.

　　Deceptions are interlocking, and the spoils are divided according to the "basic salary" and "commission"

　　The suspect, Jane, born in 1992, is from Taoyuan, Taiwan Province, and came to Kenya in October 2014 through a friend, Ayao.

　　"Yao arranged for me to go to Jimmy’s place and let me pretend to be a policeman and call to cheat money." Jane confessed that the whole gang lived in the villa rented by Jimmy (one of the suspects, responsible for outreach, translation, transportation, etc.). According to the different division of labor, the "first line" lives on the first floor, and the "second line" and "third line" live on the second floor; The boss "Pangcai" lives alone in a room on the first floor. Jane is a "second line".

　　The so-called "first line", "second line" and "third line", Jane further introduced: "first line" about 10 people, in the first floor living room to answer the "customer" (victim) phone. "They are all landlines, and there are about a dozen telephones, one for each person; In addition, there is a person who specializes in operating computers. "

　　The "second-line" people are all on the second floor, and there are also 10 people in four or five rooms, each with two landlines. There are fewer people on the "third line", and they are also on the second floor, making phone calls in one room.

　　So, how did this gang commit fraud?

　　According to the police investigating the case, first of all, the person operating the computer in the "first line" sent a group call service to the mainland according to the telephone number given by the boss. "The mainland people received a voice packet saying that there was something wrong with your medical insurance card. Please press 9 for more information."

　　If the victims press the "9" key, the phone will be connected to the "front line" person. “‘ First line ’ Some people pretend to be medical insurance personnel, take customers’ identity information in the name of inquiry, and tell customers that their information has been stolen. ‘ First line ’ They all speak according to the contents of the speech list, and then transfer the call to us ‘ Second line ’ At the same time, people sent a note with the customer’s name and ID number on it. " Jane confessed.

　　"Our second-line people pretend to be police officers of Chaoyang Branch of Beijing Public Security Bureau or Criminal Investigation Team of Shunyi Branch, and accept the customer’s report. After the customer has finished speaking, we will ask them to wait and call them back later." Jane confessed, "After hanging up, we used the landline to call the customer back, pretending to be a police officer of the criminal investigation team, and then telling the customer according to the contents of the call sheet that their identity information was stolen and suspected of money laundering, and asked the customer to provide name, family situation, occupation, income and other information, as well as bank accounts they often use."

　　In order to convince the victims, fraud gangs will also play pre-recorded background sounds when making phone calls, such as hospitals, public security bureaus and other scenes; At the same time, we also use the number change software, which can display the incoming call as the phone number of any public security organ in mainland China.

　　"We asked the customer to dial 114 to check whether the number displayed on the mobile phone is the phone number of the Public Security Bureau. We will give him a minute to check the time, and then dial it again. " Jane said that they will further ask the victim’s account balance. If it is small, the second line will directly trick the other party into transferring money and remittance; If the amount is large, the call will be transferred to the "third line", and the person from the "third line" will pretend to be the head of the financial crime department and continue to talk to the victim about remittance and transfer.

　　One of the "three lines", the suspect Xu confessed, "We know which bank the customer uses to transfer money when talking to the customer, so we will ask the boss for the account number of which bank. The other party is eager to prove innocence to us, and we will provide one ‘ Security account number ’ Let the other party transfer the money to this account, which will be inquired by our financial crime department and transferred by ATM according to our instructions on the phone. "

　　According to the police investigating the case, the "third line" has the highest technical content in the whole criminal chain, and has clever deception, which can cope with various problems and doubts of the victims. Sometimes, for a "big order", the boss will even invite an "excellent" "third line" to play, with the ultimate goal of tricking the victim into remitting money into a designated bank account.

　　How do criminal suspects divide the stolen goods?

　　According to reports, there is a whiteboard in the living room on the first and second floors. Who negotiated the list and which account received the money will be recorded on the whiteboard. The boss pays the bill once a month, and the "first line" takes "basic salary+commission", with a basic salary of 5,000 yuan, and the commission is generally 3% of the amount of each fraud; "Second-line" only has "commission", which is 4%— 5%； The "third line" with the highest "technology" content can get 8%.

　　The backbone of gang bosses with higher degree of specialization are all from Taiwan Province.

　　According to the police investigating the case, in many telecom fraud gangs, the bosses and backbones are all from Taiwan Province, as are the fraud gangs where Jane and Xu are located — — The bosses "Pangcai", "Second Line" and "Third Line" are all from Taiwan Province, and the script "Speech Script" is also written by Taiwan Province people. The "first line" is dominated by mainlanders with little fraud experience.

　　When recruiting personnel, the boss "Fat Wealth" especially pays attention to those who have fraud experience and criminal record, and tries every means to attract them. Xu is one of them. As soon as he arrived in Kenya, he was entrusted with the "third-line" responsibility and pretended to be the "Chief of the Financial Crimes Section".

　　"I am familiar with the process of telecom fraud, so Pangcai found me and asked me to join him ‘ Start work ’ 。” Xu, a 37-year-old native of Taichung, Taiwan Province, was sentenced to 7 months’ imprisonment by Taichung City Court in 2010 for fraud, and was released after serving his sentence. At the end of July 2014, he was recruited to Kenya by "Pangcai" and was arrested and detained by local law enforcement agencies in November of that year on suspicion of committing crimes. On April 9 this year, Xu was sent back to Chinese mainland.

　　Jane also has a criminal record. She fought and took drugs since she was a child. She dropped out of high school and was unemployed. She was dealt with by the Taiwan Province police for taking K powder, claiming that she was still wanted by the Taiwan Province police. According to his confession, as soon as he arrived in Kenya, the boss sent him a "speech sheet" to learn from it and recite it over and over again, so that he could answer questions when committing fraud.

　　Within the gang, there is not only a clear division of labor, but also very strict management. In order to ensure that all members concentrate on investment and improve the success rate of fraud, there are still strict boundaries between the "lines". “‘ First line ’ ‘ Second line ’ When talking about the list, no one else can be near; ‘ Third line ’ They are all in the same house, and no one can go in except the boss. " Jane said.

　　According to another introduction, the boss’s "fat money" generally pays a salary in advance and promises a high salary in order to win people’s confidence. For example, "Pangcai" once lent more than NT$ 100,000 to Xu by way of advance, which made Xu, who had a difficult family, grateful and worked hard for him. However, after the crime of fraud is successful, "Fat Wealth" always refuses to pay wages for various reasons.

　　According to the police investigating the case, Taiwan Province Telecom’s fraud started earlier, and the main target of fraud was the people of Taiwan Province. With Taiwan Province stepping up anti-fraud propaganda, there is no market for fraud. Around 2002, telecom fraud gangs, which were difficult to establish themselves in Taiwan Province, set their sights on the mainland and began to move to Fujian and other places, mainly to defraud the mainland people.

　　Zhang Jun, deputy director of the Criminal Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security, said that another reason why Taiwan Province Telecom’s fraud crimes are developed is that they can constantly update their scripts, among which the scripts of the Public Prosecution Law are "classic" and have been tried and tested on the grounds that victims’ accounts are involved in criminal cases.

　　"Some parts of the front line may change, such as pretending to be medical insurance, post office, express delivery, gehuayouxian, etc., but then they will still use the people’s awe and trust in the public security law to pretend to be the staff of the public security organs and complete the fraud process." Zhang Jun said. One of the latest fraud methods is to open a "cottage website" of Chinese mainland judicial organs, make a "wanted order" based on the identity information and photos provided by the victims, hang it online, and send the link to the victims; If the victim is a middle-aged and elderly person who can’t surf the Internet, he will send a "wanted order" by fax, so that the victim can believe it and fall into a trap when he is surprised and afraid.

　　In April 2009, the two sides signed the Agreement on Combating Crimes and Mutual Legal Assistance across the Taiwan Strait, which intensified the joint crackdown on telecom fraud. Fraud gangs then moved to Southeast Asia, Africa, Oceania and other countries, and some gangs also moved to the Russian Far East to implement cross-border telecom fraud.

　　"The dens of fraud are getting farther and farther away. Like this Kenyan case, they mainly consider staying away from Chinese mainland, making it more difficult to arrest, so as to escape the blow. But no matter how far the suspect runs, we have the confidence and ability to arrest him. " Zhang Jun said.

　　"Things have developed to this day, all of which are my own self-inflicted, all of which are my retribution, but the deceived mainland people must be more sad. I say sorry to these mainland people, and I am willing to accept legal sanctions. I will definitely turn over a new leaf in the future, and I will never do bad things again. If I have the opportunity, I will definitely engage in legitimate work. " Xu deeply repented.

　　Jane also expressed regret: "I knew from the beginning that I was going to defraud the mainland people. Fraud is a wrong act, an unnatural thing, and there will be karma. I want to sincerely apologize to the people who have been deceived in the mainland. I am willing to accept legal sanctions and hope to be treated leniently. "

　　Every year, 10 billion yuan is defrauded, and Taiwan’ s crackdown needs to be intensified.

　　According to the relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Public Security, telecom fraud crimes have intensified in recent years, and the number of cases has increased by 20% to 30% annually. Among them, the telecom fraud criminal group headed by Taiwan Province criminal suspects set up fraud dens in Southeast Asia, Africa, Oceania and other countries, recruited telephone operators, and pretended to be the mainland public security organs to madly commit telecom fraud to the mainland people. The harm was very serious and the people hated it. According to statistics, the losses of fraud cases committed by telecom fraud criminal gangs with Taiwan Province as the backbone account for more than 50% of the total losses of telecom fraud cases, and the major cases of more than 10 million yuan are basically committed by Taiwan Province telecom fraud group. For example, on December 29th, 2015, Yang, the cashier of the Construction Bureau of Duyun Economic Development Zone in Guizhou, was cheated by Taiwan Province Telecom Fraud Group for 117 million yuan.

　　In view of the grim situation of telecom fraud related to Chinese mainland, the public security organs in have always maintained a high-pressure and severe crackdown situation, and have continued to organize crackdown operations, and joined hands with the Taiwan Province police to carry out police law enforcement cooperation. Since 2011, the police on both sides of the Taiwan Straits have joined hands to go to Indonesia, Cambodia, the Philippines and other countries, and organized several transnational and cross-strait simultaneous arrests, arresting more than 7,700 telecom fraud suspects, including more than 4,600 suspects from Taiwan Province.

　　However, due to the fact that Taiwan Province’s laws impose a lighter sentence on telecom fraud crimes, and the standards of evidence identification are quite different from those in mainland China, many criminal suspects can’t be convicted or have a lighter sentence for a felony, and less than 10% of them are sentenced. In August 2013, 21 gang leaders, including suspects Lin Minghao, Liang Jiabi and Wu Hanjie, were captured by Beijing public security organs in Cambodia and handed over to Taiwan Province police. In 2015, they appeared in Indonesia, Cambodia, Australia and other countries to open fraud dens, recruit soldiers and continue to commit crimes.

　　Statistics show that every year, more than 10 billion yuan of telecom fraud money is swept from the mainland to Taiwan Province by swindlers. Although the mainland public security organs have taken various measures to recover it, they have only recovered 207,000 yuan from Taiwan Province.

　　Due to Taiwan’s ineffective crackdown and the difficulty in recovering the stolen money, the arrogance and criminal desire of swindlers have been encouraged, which has led to repeated attacks by telecom fraud criminal gangs with Taiwan Province as the backbone, hiding overseas and committing crimes crazily, causing huge economic losses to mainland people. Criminals in Taiwan Province used the money they cheated to buy luxury houses and luxury cars, went to casinos to gamble and splurge, and publicly clamored that they would "cheat all the mainland’s money". According to the data from Taiwan Province, there are nearly 100,000 people in Taiwan Province who make a living by committing telecommunication fraud.

　　"The mainland has handed over a large number of Taiwan Province telecom fraud suspects to Taiwan Province, but the Taiwan side did not severely punish them, but sentenced them lightly or even acquitted them, which led to the suspects’ aggravation and became recidivists and recidivists. The amount of fraud was huge, and mainland residents and enterprises suffered serious losses. If this momentum cannot be stopped in time, the consequences will be unimaginable. " Liu Huawen, assistant to the director of the Institute of International Law of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, believes that cross-strait cooperation to combat telecom fraud needs to be strengthened, and hopes that Taiwan Province will attach great importance to it.

　　"Taiwan Province has not formulated criminal law provisions specifically for telecom fraud, but treats telecom fraud as a general fraud, with a low sentence, insufficient economic sanctions, lax legislation and too light punishment." Fan Chongyi, a professor at the Institute of Litigation Law of China University of Political Science and Law, believes that "Taiwan Province should intensify the crackdown on telecom fraud through legislation, and improve the determination of charges, methods of crackdown, and punishment rules so that criminals can get the punishment they deserve."

On April 14th, Uncle Zhou of Yue ‘an Community showed party member, a grassroots resident, his own collection of party constitution singles issued by previous party congresses.

　　The key to achieving the goal in the next five years lies in the party, and the key lies in the party’s management and strict management of the party. Party organizations at all levels should implement the requirements of strictly administering the Party in an all-round way, deepen the new great project of Party building, and strive to create a clean and upright political ecology, so that the Party will always become a strong leadership core, providing a strong political guarantee for building a well-off society in an all-round way at a high level and accelerating the construction of a "strong, rich, beautiful and high" new Nanjing.

　　The work report of the Municipal Party Committee has drawn a grand blueprint for the development of Nanjing in the next five years. To realize this blueprint, it is the fundamental guarantee to strictly manage the party in an all-round way. How to firmly grasp the correct political direction, comprehensively build the party’s grass-roots foundation, unremittingly push forward the rectification and anti-corruption, and actively create an entrepreneurial atmosphere for officials? In the past few days, around the topic of "strictly administering the party in an all-round way", delegates attending the 14th Party Congress of the city have had a heated discussion.

　　Keywords: grass-roots foundation　

　　Rectify and upgrade the weak and backward party organizations and build a strong fighting fortress at the grassroots level.

　　According to the report of the Party Congress, the ruling foundation of the Party is at the grassroots level, and the most solid strength of the Party’s work is supported at the grassroots level. Zhang huimin, a representative from the Organization Department of Xuanwu District Committee, said that it is an important aspect of Party building to strengthen the foundation at the grassroots level. The organization department of Xuanwu District should, together with all the party (work) committees, start from every organization, every party member, and every activity, and rectify and upgrade a certain number of weak and backward party organizations in various fields every year, so as to promote the all-round progress of all grass-roots party organizations and become a strong fighting fortress. At the same time, strengthen the training of party leaders, continue to hold community secretaries’ forums, explore the establishment of excellent community secretaries’ studios, regularly train the secretaries of the "two new" party organizations, create a team of grassroots party cadres who dare to take responsibility and do something, unite and lead the broad masses of party member people to work together to build the party’s grassroots foundation in the city.　

　　Deputy Gao Junling from Xigang Street in Qixia District said that the party’s ruling foundation is at the grassroots level, and the most solid strength support for the party’s work is also at the grassroots level. Xigang Street, located in Xianlin University Town, is the youngest street in Qixia District. Relying on the Nanjing LCD Valley project, the development of Xianlin Lake real estate and the planning and construction of Qinglong subway town, the total economic output of the street has been continuously improved. In recent years, in practical work, I feel that the grass-roots work of the party is the basis for doing all the work well. Party member and cadres should give full play to their vanguard and exemplary role and lead everyone to do it, so as to establish prestige among the masses.

　　Mark the "risk points" of power matters and strengthen the early warning of clean government risks.

　　"The key to strictly administering the party in an all-round way is to strengthen supervision before, during and after the event." Deputy Hong Ying from the Municipal Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau said that it is necessary to strengthen the study of clean government education beforehand, constantly strengthen personal party spirit cultivation, and strengthen ideals and beliefs; There should be a strong and effective supervision mechanism, such as discovery mechanism, inspection mechanism, responsibility implementation mechanism, etc., so that the risk of clean government can be controlled; Afterwards, it is necessary to standardize the accountability procedures, strengthen the investigation of responsibilities, and truly be responsible and strict in discipline. It is suggested to do more articles on the early warning of integrity risks, such as drawing a "integrity risk early warning map", what is the work process of a department, and marking high, medium and low risk points of integrity according to power matters, so that it can be controlled in actual operation. For high risk points, multi-party monitoring can be set up to make the alarm bell ring.　

　　Deputy Yu Xudong from Hengxi Street, Jiangning District suggested that party member cadres, especially grassroots cadres, could be given more opportunities to work in the discipline inspection department in the future, which would help party member cadres to enhance their self-discipline awareness and theoretical cultivation of clean government. In his view, party member cadres working at the grassroots level are often busy with routine work, and their theoretical study is relatively weak. In the past, some grassroots party member disciplinary cases were handled, and some party member cadres "stepped on the red line" may be unconscious. If we strengthen theoretical study at ordinary times, these mistakes can be avoided. Let party member cadres at the grass-roots level go to the discipline inspection department for training, so as to enhance the awareness of clean government and cultivate a more pure party member team through personal experience.　

　　Zhai Jianming, a deputy from Qixia District Commission for Discipline Inspection, said that the building of a clean and honest party style and the struggle against corruption are long-term, complicated and arduous tasks, and we must always be on the road, constantly making unremitting efforts and sounding the alarm bell. The District Commission for Discipline Inspection will also assist and urge grass-roots party organizations to compact their main responsibilities, strengthen supervision and inspection, ensure reform and development, strengthen supervision and inspection on the implementation of party constitution and the Party’s principles, lines and policies, and supervise and inspect the implementation of inaction, slow action, chaotic action and passive slack in the decision-making and deployment of district committees to ensure that supervision does not leave a dead end.

　　It is necessary to clearly encourage and support the broad masses of party member cadres to take responsibility.

　　The report of the Party Congress puts forward that we should actively explore the establishment of a fault-tolerant and error-correcting mechanism, take responsibility for the cadres who dare to take responsibility, and take a clear-cut stand to encourage and support the cadres in party member to take responsibility and start businesses.　

　　Dingshan Street is located in the middle and east of Pukou District, which is the core area of Jiangbei New District. "The construction of the new district is ahead, and the cadre team determines success or failure." Deputy Lu Changyu, from Dingshan Street, said that the average age of nine community secretaries in the street was 40.4 years old this year, including two university student village officials, three under the age of 35, and the average age of community deputy secretaries was 32.8 years old. A group of young cadres with hard political quality, good governance, courage to take responsibility and positive style were enriched into grassroots party organizations. In addition, on the basis of daily honest and clean government education, we also conducted in-depth inspections on community party style and clean government construction around key links such as power operation, discipline implementation, key posts, major issues, financial revenue and expenditure, and honest and clean government risk points. At present, six communities have been completed, and more than 100 problems have been found, discovered and urged by community party organizations.　

　　After the county was set up, Lishui District developed well. Huang Weimin, a representative from the Organization Department of Lishui District Committee, said that the report of the Party Congress put forward a clear-cut proposal to encourage and support the broad masses of party member cadres to act as officials and start businesses, which was particularly powerful. The development of Lishui is inseparable from the creation of entrepreneurial atmosphere for officers, and both incentives and accountability should be taken to promote cadres to take responsibility. The district Committee promotes the middle by grasping both ends: on the one hand, it promotes the annual assessment of district management cadres and the selection and appointment of non-leadership positions, mobilizes the enthusiasm of cadres of all ages and encourages cadres to act positively; On the other hand, strengthen the supervision and assessment of the completion of key work, and promote cadres to grasp the work, promote and implement.　

　　Representative Zhou Hongwei from Jiangsu Runhe Software Co., Ltd. said that Runhe Software currently has 6,000 employees, and there are more than 600 employees in party member, and 80% of the company’s business is abroad. With the development of enterprises, the authority of employees in some positions is increasing, and the requirements of internet-based management and control are getting higher and higher. In this case, it is difficult for enterprises to ensure that every employee, especially party member, will not make mistakes on the way forward, so it is equally important for non-public enterprises to strictly manage the party in an all-round way. In the future, I hope that party organizations in non-public enterprises can continue to strengthen party building, so that employees can share the same values through party building and become a strong backing for enterprises to develop their business, especially international business.

　　Off-site connection

　　Wang Li, teacher of Rencheng Training Center: Compared with the past, the work style of government agencies has been greatly improved. The most direct experience is that going to the service windows of various departments to handle affairs, all kinds of services are much better than before, and the efficiency of handling affairs has also improved. This change has benefited the masses. I hope this kind of good style can persist all the time, not "a gust of wind".

　　Wang Senlin, a retired trade union cadre of Nanjing Automobile Co., Ltd.: My wife and I, our children are all from party member, and we are a party member family. Now that I’m retired, I always demand myself by party member’s standards, stick to political study and give full play to my residual heat. In recent years, from the central government to the local government, the anti-corruption efforts are getting stronger and stronger, and the relevant systems are getting more and more perfect. The word "honesty" is deeply rooted in the hearts of every party member. This gives us more confidence in the party.

　　Wu Weihua, a resident of Shuiximen Community, jianye district: I hope that party member cadres will be more diligent in their clean government, listen to public opinions among the masses, solve people’s livelihood problems in time, and do more practical and good things for the people. Only in this way can party member cadres be good cadres in people’s minds and enhance people’s trust and confidence in the Party.

　　A mountain city is resilient and relaxed.

　　Chongqing is the city with the largest area and population in China, with complex terrain and dense bridges and tunnels. It is faced with the management problems of high frequency of disasters, various types of urban operation risks and great difficulty in risk prevention and control. In recent years, Chongqing has adhered to the principle of "giving consideration to both hardness and softness", systematically promoted the construction of a resilient and safe city, and continuously improved the modernization level of urban safety governance.

　　Sponge project will "breathe"

　　At the turn of spring and summer, the rain keeps coming. Walking in the rain garden of Donglin Road, Bishan District, Chongqing, the flowers and plants were wet by the rain, which was even more full of green, but the road surface was still dry and practical.

　　"My children like to step on the stagnant water in the potholes in rainy days." Shen Xiaofeng, a resident of the community, said that in the past, the road surface was slippery and there was water accumulation in rainy days. Later, with the renovation of the sponge project, even if it rained heavily, it was difficult to accumulate water in the community. Children no longer tread on water, but they can run and play more freely, which is a lot more fun.

　　On the badminton court on the other side of the Rain Garden, as soon as the rain stopped, people came one after another with rackets, and Mao Yong, a resident of the community, was one of them. The playground is paved with permeable pavement, which can be used as soon as it rains. "Now you don’t have to wait for the sun to come out, and the utilization rate of the venue has increased." Mao Yong said.

　　Arkwu, the designer of the residential sponge project, introduced that the function of sponge facilities was fully integrated with the landscape environment during the renovation. Rainwater gardens and permeable pavements were distributed in the residential area. Rainwater would not flow directly from the trail to the canal in rainy days, but first entered the rainwater garden or permeable pavements. Stay and permeate; Excess rainwater can flow into municipal pipe network or storage tank to realize natural accumulation, natural infiltration and natural purification. While water resources are effectively utilized, the heat island effect is also alleviated.

　　"Sponge project can not only effectively reduce ground water accumulation and improve the sense of living experience, but also reduce pollutants flowing into water bodies and improve urban water quality." Arkwu said.

　　"Sponge facilities make urban construction not only’ face’ but also’ resilience’. Cities can be like sponges and have good’ elasticity’ in adapting to environmental changes and responding to natural disasters. " Zou Xiaochun, director of the Human Settlements Department of Chongqing Municipal Commission of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, said that in recent years, Chongqing has promoted all districts and counties to build 34 typical drainage zones and 122 typical source emission reduction projects according to local conditions, forming a differentiated sponge technology route suitable for mountainous areas, deep canyons, hills and flat dams. Up to now, there are 466 drainage sub-zones in Chongqing, accounting for 40% of the urban built-up area.

　　Intelligent early warning and timely arrival

　　On August 29th, 2021, a dangerous rock collapse occurred in Group 1, Guanmiao Community, Guanmian Township, Kaizhou District, Chongqing. Through early warning, 37 threatened families and 93 people were evacuated in advance, causing no casualties.

　　At 10 o’clock on August 30, 2022, the monitoring of Heping Village, Wenquan Town, Kaizhou District found signs of landslide, and the judgment was quickly released through the intelligent early warning information release platform, and the early warning plan was automatically generated at 10: 30. The local government immediately demarcated the danger zone, quickly organized emergency control and evacuation of residents, and the slope slipped as a whole at 12: 30.

　　There were no casualties in the two natural disasters, thanks to the effective local intelligent early warning management mechanism.

　　"In 2021, we comprehensively upgraded the intelligent early warning information publishing platform by comprehensively sorting out the early warning responsible persons and affected people in disaster-related fields and potential risks." Lishui, deputy director of the Kaizhou District Emergency Management Bureau, said that once the disaster trigger threshold is reached, the platform will automatically match the instruction measures and release targets, and the early warning information will be pushed synchronously and accurately through radio, television, big screen and online applications covering the whole region.

　　In the face of natural disasters, early warning and prevention in advance are effective means to reduce disaster losses. According to reports, in 2023, Kaizhou District accurately released more than 15,000 kinds of early warning information and received more than 1.3 million people. Through the "emergency horn" for early warning and hedging, 18 important early warning messages were issued, and a total of 66,000 people were called.

　　Wisdom disaster prevention helps decision-making

　　Hechuan District, Chongqing, which is located at the intersection of Jialing River, Fujiang River and Qujiang River, has a large water area and an average annual transit water volume, and the situation of natural disasters such as floods and ground disasters is complicated.

　　Where is the flooded area? Where should I evacuate in case of flood? Which transfer route is the safest? In order to answer these people’s most concerned questions, the Flood and Drought Disaster Prevention Center of Hechuan District, through on-the-spot investigation, consulted hydrological data, and according to the topography and geomorphology map of Hechuan, carefully produced a digital flood 3D simulation model for one year, including flood risk maps of three offices in the main city and nine key towns along the Yangtze River, as well as flood operation maps of the main city.

　　"This model can dynamically simulate the flooded area where the flood level rises from 0 meters to 200 meters, with an accuracy of less than 1 meter; It can accurately measure the shelters under different water levels, the number of people who need to be transferred, and clearly transfer information such as responsible persons and community contacts. " Wu Zuhua, a staff member of Luoyang Creek Community in Heyangcheng Street, introduced.

　　Liu Lei, director of the Emergency Command Center of Hechuan District, introduced that on the basis of the "digital emergency" platform, Hechuan District has developed the application of "transfer to avoid risks" and the "emergency knowledgeable person" applet, and constructed multi-span scenarios such as investigation, incident perception, call response feedback, transfer monitoring, resettlement management, and power coordination, so as to conduct closed-loop control over the whole process of the transfer event.

　　Nowadays, in Chongqing, all the indicators of digital urban signs, such as water, electricity, bridges, tunnels, tracks and pipe networks, have been connected to the Chongqing Digital Urban Operation and Governance Center, which, like the intelligent hub of the city, intelligently perceives the urban operation risks, assists the decision-making of urban management subjects in a digital way, and the multi-level governance subjects of cities, districts, counties, towns and streets are linked in time, striving to achieve the goal of "resilient governance" of the city and constantly promoting the modernization of governance system and governance capacity.

People’s Daily (April 26, 2024, 07 edition)

    The second Saturday of September every year is the World First Aid Day, which aims to publicize and popularize the knowledge and skills of emergency rescue and improve the public’s self-help ability. This year is the 24th World First Aid Day. Let’s talk about what we should call "120" and what we should pay attention to.

   What situations do you need to call 120?

    What would you do if we suddenly suffered an accidental injury or a friend around us suddenly fainted? You may answer, call "120" emergency number. This answer is not entirely correct. The 120 hotline, also known as the "life hotline", is like a life-saving straw. Behind every emergency call, there is a life that needs help. But what needs to be understood is that not all unexpected situations need to call 120, and the "life hotline" should be left to those who really need emergency assistance.

    So, what circumstances need to call 120 emergency number? If you are outside the hospital, such as at home, in public places, or in the wild, once you have a sudden critical illness such as heart disease and stroke; Serious injuries caused by car accidents and accidental injuries; Fire, drowning, electric shock, poisoning, trampling and other sudden disasters; When there are major problems in life and health due to various unexpected factors, you should immediately call 120 for help.

   What are the symptoms of sudden critical illness?

    Let’s talk in detail about what symptoms may be sudden critical illness. If you encounter the following situations, don’t hesitate to call 120 for first aid immediately.

    1. If sudden severe chest pain, palpitation, dyspnea, fainting, accompanied by sweating and other symptoms, you should suspect a heart attack.

    2. In case of sudden hemiplegia, skewed mouth, confusion, difficulty in speaking or understanding, difficulty in seeing things with one eye or both eyes, severe headache, syncope, etc., you need to be alert to cerebrovascular accidents.

    3. The patient is pale, sweating profusely, with a fast but weak pulse and decreased blood pressure, which may be shock or collapse.

    4. A large number of hemoptysis or hematemesis also indicate that a critical illness may suddenly occur.

   What details should I pay attention to when dialing 120?

    The "120" emergency call is the first signal and premise to start rescuing critical patients. Invalid calls will seriously affect the normal work of the command center, delay the rescue time and waste emergency resources. In the process of making a phone call, you should also pay attention to the following six points to avoid delaying the treatment time.

    1. When dialing 120, you should try to stay calm, don’t panic, and speak clearly and concisely.

    2. Make clear the patient’s symptoms or injuries, so as to send a car accurately, and also make clear the site location, waiting place and contact telephone number that can be connected, so as to facilitate contact.

    3. After dialing 120, you can arrange people to wait for the bus at the intersection or next to obvious signs, and wave when you see the ambulance, so as to save time.

    4. If people from other places in Beijing are not familiar with their location, they should ask local people for help or call for help on their behalf.

    5. If you are at the junction of two counties and cities, the mobile phone signal is prone to drift, which can be avoided by using a fixed telephone. If there is no condition, you can also ask the emergency center where the signal drift is received to call for help.

    6. When dialing 120 on the expressway, it is necessary to explain the direction and general orientation. There is a kilometer sign on the shoulder, and the expressway code and kilometers should be clearly stated.

    It should be noted that dialing 120 is generally not allowed to specify a hospital. The 120 Command and Dispatch Center uniformly allocates the city’s emergency resources, and handles emergency patients in different levels and districts. First, hospitals are allocated according to the principles of being nearby, being urgent and professional, so as to ensure that patients can be treated quickly.

    In addition, it should be understood that there is a charge for calling an ambulance, which generally includes two parts: ambulance fee and pre-hospital first aid fee. Of course, these fees are uniformly stipulated by local provinces and cities, and all fees are based on standards. You don’t have to worry about the inflated fees.

　　On the whole, in 2023, Henan’s economy is in the recovery period, repair period and adjustment period after the epidemic, and the trend of economic growth continues to be stable and positive. Although some data of scale and speed fluctuate, the effects of kinetic energy change, structural change and quality change are increasingly apparent, emerging pillar industries become the leading force to promote growth, and new quality productivity accelerates growth. It is not easy to achieve such achievements under the circumstances that the adverse impact of international environmental changes is increasing, external demand is weakening, cyclical problems and structural contradictions are intertwined, and it is achieved under the background of seeking truth from facts, revising the base period, doing the current period, and striving to improve the quality of statistical data. It fully reflects Henan’s ample room for manoeuvre and strong economic resilience as a major economic province, and fully demonstrates the efforts of the provincial party Committee and government in recent years to seek the long-term, lay the foundation, grasp the key points and increase the stamina.

　　Ladies and gentlemen, friends of the press, the Sixth Plenary Session of the Eleventh Provincial Party Committee and the Economic Work Conference of the Provincial Party Committee have made comprehensive arrangements for economic work in 2024, and the upcoming "two sessions" of the province will be further refined, materialized and concrete. Guided by the Supreme Leader’s Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought in the new era, we will anchor the "two guarantees", continue to implement the "Ten Major Strategies" and promote the "Ten Major Construction", consolidate and enhance the trend of economic recovery, comprehensively promote the practice of Chinese-style modernization in Henan, and courageously strive for the first place in the new journey of building a strong country and national rejuvenation.

　　Note: 1. The growth rate of regional GDP and its classified projects is calculated at constant prices.

　　2. According to the unified accounting and data release system of China’s regional GDP, the annual regional GDP accounting includes two steps: preliminary accounting and final verification. The preliminary accounting mainly uses the growth rate of relevant indicators to calculate; The final verification is mainly based on the statistical annual report, financial final accounts and the annual financial data of relevant departments, which is a revision of the preliminary accounting data. Since last year, Henan has made great efforts to improve the data quality, intensify the verification of statistical data, and seek truth from facts to correct the historical data of the same period. After final verification, in 2022, the current total GDP of our province was 5,822.013 billion yuan, calculated at constant prices, an increase of 2.4% over the previous year.

　　Pingping

　　Thank you, Secretary-General, for your comprehensive and detailed release. Let’s enter the question-and-answer session, and welcome reporters and friends to ask questions about the content of this conference. Please inform your news organization before asking questions.

　　People’s Daily reporter

　　In the past year, what did Henan mainly do in promoting project construction and expanding effective investment? How effective is it? Thank you.

　　Ma Jian, Party Secretary and Director of the Provincial Development and Reform Commission

　　Thank you for your question. In 2023, the provincial party committee and the provincial government continued to take project construction as the main focus of economic work, guided project construction with new development concepts, grasped key links such as planning reserves, landing construction, factor supply and service guarantee with high quality, and made every effort to accelerate the construction of major projects such as the "Tenth Five-Year Plan", forming a strong trend of steady growth, innovation, rotational energy and new quality driven by projects. We have mainly done the following four aspects:

　　First, rolling out the "three batches" project construction activities. Always take industrial projects as the top priority, carry out four phases of "three batches" project construction activities, adhere to the leading projects, specialized and special new projects, technological upgrading projects and beach preemption projects, and promote a number of leading projects such as Zhengzhou BYD New Energy Vehicle, SAIC Zhengzhou Passenger Car Phase II, Luoyang Petrochemical Million Tons of Ethylene, and the province’s industrial investment increased by 8.9% year-on-year. Among them, investment in high-tech manufacturing and industrial technological transformation increased by 22.6% and 17.4% respectively, accounting for 15.5% and 24.7% of industrial investment, up by 1.7 and 1.8 percentage points respectively. The change of project structure is leading the change of industrial structure and industrial energy level. The added value of high-tech manufacturing in the province accounted for 14.7% of the industrial added value, up by 1.8 percentage points year-on-year.

　　The second is to continue to implement important projects and focus on tackling key problems. Adhere to the overall war, coordinated war, and tough battles, focus on major projects such as "three batches", central budget investment, special bonds, and additional government bonds, establish a coordination and promotion mechanism for key projects led by the governor, and build a closed-loop work of sorting out problems, joint consultation, assigning supervision, tracking and asking for results, and establish three systems of monthly scheduling, construction, and white list and verification of factor guarantee for major projects. Priority was given to ensuring capital, land use, energy consumption, environmental capacity and other essential resources. In the whole year, a total of 17.58 billion yuan was obtained from the central budget, 39.38 billion yuan was issued with additional treasury bonds, and 182.9 billion yuan was issued with special bonds, which strongly supported the construction of a large number of infrastructure and public service projects.

　　The third is to deepen reform and innovation and continuously optimize the investment environment. Solidly promote the reform of the examination and approval system of investment projects, reshape the examination and approval process with the "parallel examination and approval+coordination mechanism" as the core, and implement measures such as joint inspection, joint surveying and mapping, joint drawing examination, joint acceptance and "standard land+commitment system" to further improve the scientific, standardized and convenient level of investment examination and approval. Focusing on the problems that restrict the development of private investment, we introduced and implemented 19 specific policies and measures to stimulate the vitality of private investment, regularly introduced major construction projects and stock assets projects to private capital, and sorted out and introduced the first batch of 199 major projects with a total investment of 126.28 billion yuan.

　　Fourth, efforts should be made to improve the project planning and reserve mechanism. Closely link up with major national plans and policies, explore the establishment of a reserve mechanism for research and planning of major projects, efficiently promote preliminary research and demonstration, reserve major projects in key areas such as industrial transformation, scientific and technological innovation, rural revitalization, infrastructure, people’s livelihood security, and ecological and environmental protection, speed up the preparation for the early stage of projects and start construction, build a virtuous circle of dynamic adjustment, stubble implementation, and rolling succession, and strive to achieve "projects and other funds" and "start construction as soon as money arrives".

　　The Central Economic Work Conference emphasized the need to "expand effective investment". The Sixth Plenary Session of the Eleventh Provincial Party Committee and the Economic Work Conference of the Provincial Party Committee made specific arrangements for the project construction and effective investment in the province in 2024. In the next step, according to the deployment requirements of the provincial party committee and government, we will further strengthen the concept of "project is king", expand effective investment with high-quality project construction, continuously optimize investment structure, improve investment efficiency and expand investment space, and provide strong support for promoting stable economic growth, cultivating new quality productivity and accelerating the transformation of old and new kinetic energy. Thank you.

　　Reporter of Central Radio and Television General Station

　　I want to know how Henan implements the strategy of innovation-driven, rejuvenating the province through science and education and strengthening the province with talents, and leads the high-quality economic development with the support of scientific and technological innovation. Thank you.

　　Aring Zhang, Party Secretary and Director of Provincial Science and Technology Department.

　　Thank you for your question. Innovation is the first driving force for development. At present, the economy of our province has turned to a high-quality development stage, which puts forward higher and more urgent requirements for scientific and technological innovation, and it is even more necessary to rely on scientific and technological innovation to promote the development of modern industrial system, especially to promote new industries, new models and new kinetic energy with subversive technologies and cutting-edge technologies, develop new quality productivity, and inject strong impetus into high-quality economic development. The provincial party committee put forward the strategic deployment of anchoring the "two guarantees" and implementing the "Ten Strategies", and put the strategy of innovation-driven, rejuvenating the province through science and education and strengthening the province with talents at the top of the "Ten Strategies" to accelerate the construction of a national innovation highland and an important talent center. At present, innovation and development are in full swing, and the "first strategy" is accelerated in an all-round way. Innovation has become a remarkable symbol of modern Henan construction.

　　First, the pattern of "two cities and one valley" was accelerated. There are 42 R&D entities in the provincial academy of sciences, ranking first in the national provincial academy of sciences; A number of first-class universities such as Shanghai Jiaotong University set up Zhengzhou Research Institute in Zhongyuan Science and Technology City; Henan technology trading market unveiled; Zhongyuan Science and Technology City ranked 19th in the national science and technology city. 53 scientific research platforms above the provincial level have settled in the "Central Plains Agricultural Valley" and built a demonstration area of 1 million mu of high-standard farmland. Rebuilding the deep integration of the Provincial Academy of Medical Sciences and the Central Plains Medical Science City, six academicians have been employed as chief scientists and have settled in eight research institutes.

　　Second, the source of high-energy innovation platform is more solid and powerful. The core node of the National Supercomputing Internet was officially launched in Zhengzhou, and the Henan Experimental Base of Yazhouwan Laboratory was jointly built to sign a cooperation agreement; Seven national key laboratories were reorganized and six new ones were built, and five engineering research centers were included in the national management sequence, bringing the number of national innovation platforms in our province to 172; Construction of 16 provincial laboratories and 3 industrial technology research institutes; The pilot service income of 36 provincial pilot bases reached 1.41 billion yuan.

　　Third, the new industrial technology innovation system is improving day by day. There are 116 innovative leading enterprises, and the total number of "Gazelle" enterprises has reached 454. It is estimated that the total number of high-tech enterprises will exceed 12,000 this year, and 26,000 national small and medium-sized science and technology enterprises will be put on record, ranking seventh in the country. Enterprises in the whole province will enjoy R&D expenses plus deduction of 68.6 billion yuan, and "science and technology loans" will be 4.953 billion yuan. Leading enterprises in science and technology took the lead in setting up 28 innovation consortia, and made breakthroughs in tackling key core technologies. In 2023, they won 16 national key R&D special projects with a capital of 197 million yuan and a funding of 552 million yuan from the National Natural Fund. More than 200 major scientific and technological projects in the province were launched, with an investment of 700 million yuan.

　　Fourth, the layout of higher education has been adjusted and optimized. Arrange 5 billion yuan and 2.5 billion yuan respectively to support the construction of "double first-class" in Zhengzhou University and Henan University, and arrange 5.5 billion yuan to support the establishment of "double first-class" in 11 disciplines in 7 universities during the "14 th Five-Year Plan" period; Strengthen the construction of disciplines with special needs and urgent needs, and add 13 key disciplines (groups) with special needs and urgent needs in Henan Province; Xinyang Normal University was renamed as a university, and Zhengzhou Academy of Fine Arts was unveiled, which filled the blank of art undergraduate colleges in our province.

　　Fifth, supporting and leading the high-quality development of regional economy and society has achieved remarkable results. The foundation of Zheng Luoxin National Independent Innovation Demonstration Zone is more solid. In the first three quarters of 2023, the GDP reached 81.652 billion yuan, up 5.7% year-on-year, 1.9 percentage points higher than that of the whole province. The province’s financial expenditure on science and technology reached 46.38 billion yuan, and the turnover of technology contracts reached 136.76 billion yuan. The overall scale of 4 national emerging industrial clusters and 15 provincial emerging industrial clusters in our province has exceeded 1.2 trillion yuan. In recent years, there have been 6 new academicians of the two academies this year. Two people were awarded the title of "National Outstanding Engineer"; The "Central Plains Talents Program" selected and supported 285 high-level innovative talents such as Central Plains scholars; The 6th China Henan Innovation and Development Conference was successfully held, and more than 1,800 high-quality talent cooperation projects were signed.

　　In the next step, under the strong leadership of the provincial Party committee and the provincial government, the Provincial Science and Technology Department will strengthen its confidence and work hard for a long time, and work with various localities and departments to implement the strategy of innovation-driven, rejuvenating the province through science and education and strengthening the province with talents, strengthen the whole chain design of innovation, strengthen the deep integration of scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation, promote scientific and technological innovation to become the engine and multiplier of high-quality economic development, and provide strong scientific and technological support for the construction of modern Henan. thank you

　　Xinhua news agency reporter

　　Vigorously promoting new industrialization is a major deployment of the CPC Central Committee and a hot spot of concern to the whole society. Excuse me, what are the key measures in promoting new industrialization in Henan, and what breakthroughs have been made at present? Thank you.

　　Li Jiantao, Party Secretary and Director of the Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology

　　Thank you for your attention to industry and information technology. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out that in the new era and new journey, it is the key task to comprehensively promote the construction of a strong country and the great cause of national rejuvenation with Chinese modernization and realize new industrialization. Over the past year, the provincial party Committee and government have thoroughly studied and implemented the important instructions of the General Secretary, clearly proposed to promote new industrialization to lead and support the practice of Chinese-style modernization in Henan, and organized the province to deepen its work in five aspects.

　　First, take the steady growth of industry as the material basis of new industrialization. Adhere to the principle of stability first, strive for progress in stability, do everything possible to promote industrial recovery and growth, and resolutely shoulder the political responsibility of stabilizing the industrial economy. We will further promote the activity of "ten thousand people help ten thousand enterprises", organize production and marketing, industry and finance, employment and Industry-University-Research docking at different levels, and "one enterprise and one policy" will open up the pain points and solve more than 110 thousand enterprise demands. Establish a daily monitoring week scheduling system for key industries, key cities, counties and key enterprises, formulate support policies for the transformation of key industrial chains into three industries, further promote a new round of technological transformation and upgrading, and successfully hold major events such as China industrial transfer and development docking, international intelligent networked automobile competition and world sensor conference. In 2023, the province’s industrial technological transformation investment increased by 17.4% year-on-year, 12.7 percentage points higher than the national level, and the industrial added value increased by 5% year-on-year and 0.4 percentage points higher than the national level.

　　The second is to strengthen the "7+28+N" group chain as a strategic support to promote new industrialization. "7" is to build seven advanced manufacturing clusters of new materials, new energy vehicles, electronic information, advanced equipment, modern medicine, modern food and modern textiles; "28" is to cultivate and expand 28 key industrial chains such as superhard materials; "n" is to cultivate a number of specialized and special new industrial chains in the segmentation field. Over the past year, the provincial party committee and government have taken building key industrial cluster chains as the bull’s nose to promote the high-quality development of manufacturing industry, insisting on turning the point into beads and beads into chains, with multiple chains and clusters of chains, diversified layout and key breakthroughs, formulating the overall plan and 28 chain-splitting plans for key industrial chains with high standards, holding a high-standard promotion meeting for new industrialization and key industrial chain cultivation, and innovatively launching "chain length+special classes" and "atlas+list". At present, the "7+28+N" cluster chain has gathered more than 70% of the key innovation platforms in the province, created more than 80% of the total import and export volume and more than 60% of the industrial output value, and has become the main battlefield for Henan to promote new industrialization.

　　The third is to focus on the "six new" breakthroughs as the main direction of promoting new industrialization. The Fifth Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Provincial Party Committee proposed to lay out new infrastructure in a forward-looking way, concentrate on conquering new technologies, vigorously develop new materials, actively build new equipment, diversify new products, accelerate the cultivation of new formats, and lead and empower new industrialization with the breakthrough of "six new". The province has opened a total of 187,000 5G base stations, achieving full coverage of 5G networks and Gigabit optical networks in areas above towns and villages, and the Henan Data Center, the Central Plains Data Base and the National Supercomputing Zhengzhou Center have been completed and put into operation. The National Agricultural Machinery and Equipment Innovation Center released 11 cutting-edge technical products, the spindle bearing of 16 MW wind power and the spindle of 12-meter shield machine in Luozhou were replaced by imports, the world’s first green shield machine "China Railway No.1237" was exported overseas, the world’s highest 10-meter hydraulic support of Zhengmei machine was officially rolled off the assembly line, and the key technologies of multi-fluorine and high-end inorganic fluorine chemical industry broke the foreign monopoly. Puyang released the world’s first hydrogen-powered humanoid robot, and the first artificial intelligence model "Apas" in the province landed in Zhengdong New District and Quantum Valley in the Central Plains. Citic heavy industries and other 12 enterprises were selected for the national pilot demonstration of the integration of new generation information technology and manufacturing, Yutong Bus and other 14 enterprises were selected for the national pilot demonstration of industrial internet, and Daxin Home and other 27 enterprises were selected for the national service-oriented manufacturing demonstration.

　　The fourth is to take "one transformation and three transformations" as the key to promote new industrialization. "One turn" means digital transformation, and "three transformations" means promoting the high-end, intelligent and green development of manufacturing industry. As a populous province and a big economic province, Henan has massive data resources, rich application scenarios and broad market demand. Over the past year, the provincial party committee and government have thoroughly implemented the strategy of digital transformation, formulated and promulgated a three-year action plan and special support policies for "one transformation with three industries", and strived to achieve full coverage of digital transformation of industrial enterprises in the province in about three years. In 2023, Henan was selected as the first batch of pilot provinces in China for digital transformation, with 186 newly cultivated smart factories and workshops, totaling 1,105, 30,000 newly added enterprises in Shangyun, totaling 220,000, and 5,000 enterprises in Shanghai completed digital transformation diagnosis. The "1+50" industrial Internet platform system accessed 8.83 million equipment products, deployed over 3,600 industrial apps and developed over 4,000 industrial models. The penetration rate of digital R&D design tools, the digitization rate of production equipment and the numerical control rate of key processes of industrial enterprises in the province increased by 7.6, 4.8 and 9.8 percentage points respectively compared with the end of the Thirteenth Five-Year Plan.

　　The fifth is to build a high-quality enterprise, yan zhen, as a power carrier to promote new industrialization. Enterprise is the basic unit of building a modern industrial system and the power carrier to promote high-quality development. Over the past year, according to the deployment of the provincial party committee and the provincial government, we have comprehensively sorted out the key enterprises in the "7+28+N" industrial cluster chain, optimized ecology, integrated resources, classified database construction and targeted cultivation, made great efforts to promote the complementary advantages of large, medium and small enterprises and enhance the value creativity of manufacturing industry. In 2023, there were 100 newly recognized Touyan enterprises, 153 provincial-level manufacturing individual champions, 52 newly cultivated national-level specialized and innovative "Little Giant" enterprises, 1,324 provincial-level specialized and innovative small and medium-sized enterprises, 6,549 innovative small and medium-sized enterprises, 2,785 newly-established industrial enterprises and 113 regulated joint-stock industrial enterprises, and Zhongmou and Fangcheng were selected as national small and medium-sized enterprise characteristic industrial clusters. By supporting enterprises to become better, stronger and bigger, the overwhelming development pattern of large enterprises and small and medium-sized enterprises is accelerating.

　　The practice over the past year has proved that the planning and layout of the provincial party committee and government on promoting new industrialization fully conforms to the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and the decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee. Henan Manufacturing entered the track to fight for key nodes, moved towards the strategic turning point of kinetic energy conversion, and became the key support point of China Manufacturing. In the new year, the industrial and information front will closely focus on the strategic deployment of the provincial party committee and the provincial government, firmly grasp the strategic orientation of making the manufacturing industry a strong province, firmly grasp the strategic starting point of building a key industrial cluster chain, vigorously promote new industrialization, speed up the reconstruction of traditional industrial advantages, cultivate and grow emerging industries, and take the lead in future industries, and strive to be ahead, strive for the upper reaches and be the pioneer in the practice of Chinese modernization in Henan. thank you

　　Henan Daily reporter

　　How does finance support the protection and improvement of people’s livelihood is a matter of concern to everyone. Please tell us about the financial investment in the people’s livelihood in our province in 2023? Thank you.

　　Zhao Qingye, Party Secretary and Director of the Provincial Department of Finance

　　Thank you for your question, and thank you for your long-term concern and support for financial work. In 2023, under the strong leadership of the provincial party committee and government, the province’s financial system adhered to the strategy of "keeping the basics tight and adjusting the structure", earnestly implemented a proactive fiscal policy, promoted the overall stability of the province’s financial operation, and strongly supported the province’s economic and social development. Affected by the economic recovery in the province and the low base in 2022, the total fiscal revenue of the province in 2023 was 697.25 billion yuan, up by 12.9%, of which: the local general public budget revenue was 451.2 billion yuan, up by 6.2%; Local tax revenue was 285.51 billion yuan, up by 10.2%, and the recovery growth of fiscal revenue was generally in line with expectations, which was generally consistent with the economic operation situation. The proportion of tax revenue in general public budget revenue increased by 2.4 percentage points year-on-year, and the quality of fiscal revenue was further improved. The scale of fiscal expenditure has steadily expanded, with the province’s general public budget expenditure of 1,106.26 billion yuan, an increase of 3.9%, exceeding 1 trillion yuan for five consecutive years, and the expenditure in key areas has been effectively guaranteed.

　　Over the past year, we have conscientiously implemented the decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee, the State Council, the provincial party committee and the provincial government on ensuring the improvement of people’s livelihood, promoted party committees and governments at all levels to get used to "living a tight life", resolutely reduced non-rigid expenditures that are not urgently needed, spent every penny on the cutting edge, and exchanged the "tight life" of party committees and governments for the "stable life" and "good life" of ordinary people. "Financial expenditure on people’s livelihood" includes education, health, social security and employment, housing security, cultural tourism and media, agriculture, forestry, water, transportation, energy conservation and environmental protection, and urban and rural communities. In 2023, the province’s people’s livelihood expenditure was 808.15 billion yuan, which exceeded the 800 billion yuan mark for the first time, accounting for 73.1% of the general public budget expenditure, and remained stable at more than 70%, providing strong support for ensuring the improvement of people’s livelihood. I will focus on six aspects that people are most anxious about, and make a brief introduction.

　　First, focusing on "work has income", giving priority to stabilizing employment and ensuring employment. The province’s social security and employment expenditure was 193.31 billion yuan, an increase of 7.9%, supporting the development of stable employment and social security. Among them, the employment subsidy expenditure was 4.62 billion yuan, an increase of 15%, which promoted the construction of "everyone with certificates and skills in Henan" and fully supported the employment and entrepreneurship of key groups such as college graduates and migrant workers. In the whole year, unemployment insurance was distributed to stabilize posts, returning 1.03 billion yuan and reducing social insurance premiums by 5.61 billion yuan, helping enterprises to reduce their burdens and stabilize their posts. The province issued 17.14 billion yuan of new venture guarantee loans, and the total investment scale of provincial migrant workers’ return venture capital fund was 10.59 billion yuan, which led to 447,000 new jobs. The second is to focus on "learning to teach" and do our best to run a satisfactory education for the people. Education has always been given priority to development. The province’s education expenditure is 199.07 billion yuan, up 5%, accounting for 18% of the general public budget expenditure. It continues to maintain the largest financial expenditure and fully supports the development of preschool education, compulsory education, ordinary high schools, vocational education and higher education. The third is to promote the construction of healthy Henan around "getting medical treatment for diseases". The province’s health expenditure is 114.32 billion yuan, which supports the better protection of the people’s life safety and physical health in the province. In particular, it raised 58.32 billion yuan to support the raising of the financial subsidy standard for basic medical insurance for urban and rural residents from 610 yuan to 640 yuan, and the per capita financial subsidy standard for basic public health services from 84 yuan to 89 yuan, so as to further improve the health security level of urban and rural residents. The fourth is around"Help the weak" and improve the social security system. 11.97 billion yuan was raised to implement various subsidy policies for needy people, benefiting 3.063 million urban and rural low-income recipients, 483,000 destitute people, 45,000 orphans, virtually no-one to raise children and 2.121 million disabled people in the province. Raise 10.93 billion yuan to support the work of preferential treatment for retired soldiers. The fifth is to improve the old-age service system around "a sense of security for the elderly". 70.77 billion yuan will be raised to support the increase of the basic pension for retirees in enterprises, institutions and institutions by 119 yuan and 142 yuan respectively, and the minimum standard of basic pension for urban and rural residents will be gradually raised from 113 yuan to 128 yuan per person per month to ensure that pensions are paid in full and on time. Sixth, around "living and living", we will implement affordable housing projects and the renovation of dilapidated houses in rural areas. Co-ordinate 5.72 billion yuan, support the transformation of old urban communities, urban shantytowns, and grant rental subsidies, benefiting 757,500 households (sets); 490 million yuan was allocated to support 18,000 rural low-income groups and other key targets to carry out the renovation of dilapidated houses in rural areas and the earthquake-resistant renovation of rural houses.

　　In 2024, the provincial finance will continue to adhere to the principle of "managing money for the people and managing money for the people", continuously increase the financial input for people’s livelihood security, do our best, do what we can, increase the welfare, and continuously improve the level of public services and the balance of accessibility. At the same time, through strengthening management, dynamic monitoring and other means, the people’s "survival money" and "life-saving money" will be closely guarded and strictly managed, so that the development results will be more fair and beneficial. thank you

　　Economic Daily reporter

　　Since last year, both the state and Henan have emphasized the priority of restoring and expanding consumption. Excuse me, how is the operation of Henan consumer goods market? What measures has the commercial department taken to restore and expand consumption? Thank you.

　　Wang Zhenli, Party Secretary and Director of Provincial Department of Commerce

　　Thank you for your question. Consumption is an important engine of economic growth and a key link to smooth the domestic cycle. Our province conscientiously implements the decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee, strengthens policy support, builds consumption carriers, enriches consumption scenarios, and promotes the recovery of the consumer goods market. The total retail sales of social consumer goods reached 2.6 trillion yuan, an increase of 6.5%. In terms of consumption patterns, retail sales and catering increased by 5.6% and 15% respectively; From the perspective of urban and rural markets, urban consumption and rural consumption increased by 6.4% and 7.2% respectively.

　　In terms of strengthening policy support, the provincial government has issued 22 consumption policies twice, and all localities have implemented measures in detail. The government, banks and enterprises have cooperated in many ways to promote the consumption of automobiles, household appliances, catering, cultural tourism and sports. For example, the consumption of automobiles above designated size increased by 13.4%, of which new energy vehicles increased by 64.2%; Household appliances, clothing, shoes and hats, and sports and entertainment products increased by 10.5%, 10.3%, and 11.6% respectively. Support the holding of the first China (Henan) time-honored brand boutique exhibition and time-honored brand carnival, and 21 Chinese time-honored brands and 271 Henan time-honored brands in the province inherit innovation and become new hot spots of national consumption.

　　In terms of building a consumer carrier, the city’s commercial system continued to improve. Zhengzhou cultivated and formed 10 large-scale business districts, and Erqi business district was shortlisted as a national demonstration smart business district. Hebi, Shangqiu, Luoyang national quarter-hour convenience life circle pilot solid progress, "circle" a beautiful new life. The turnover of 104 brand consumption clusters in the province increased by 27.3% year-on-year, and the passenger flow increased by 52.3%. Dennis, Pangdonglai, Zhenghongcheng, "Only Henan" and the ancient city of Luoyi became the punching places for fashion consumption. The construction of county-level commercial system has been accelerated, and 12 national "leading counties" and 45 provincial-level demonstration counties have played a leading role in promoting county and township consumption and agricultural products.

　　In terms of enriching consumption scenes, we will carry out activities to boost consumption in the year, hold consumption promotion activities such as Spring Festival consumption season, summer consumption season, and Yujian food, and integrate business travel style and online and offline to create immersive, experiential and interactive consumption scenes. For example, a number of local characteristic consumer brands such as Nanyang Wanmei Consumption, Kaifeng Biandi Courtesy, Pingdingshan Yuehui Eagle City and Luoyang Ancient Capital Night at 8 o’clock have been cultivated. Xuchang, Anyang, Hebi, Sanmenxia, Jiaozuo and other places have launched a "special consumption map" and a "map" index to accurately push the consumption strategy.

　　In the next step, we will conscientiously implement the spirit of the Central Economic Work Conference, implement the decision-making arrangements of the provincial party committee and the provincial government, thoroughly implement the three-year action of expanding domestic demand strategy, stabilize bulk consumption, expand new consumption, optimize the consumption environment, stimulate consumption vitality, and give full play to the basic role of consumption in economic development. thank you

　　Henan radio and TV reporter

　　Since last year, our province has been seeking truth from facts to further improve the data quality. What consideration is this based on? What is the specific situation? Thank you.

　　Li Yingwei, Party Secretary and Director of the Provincial Bureau of Statistics

　　Thank you for your question and your concern about statistical work. I want to answer your question with three persistences.

　　The first is to adhere to high-quality development. In recent years, the provincial party committee and the provincial government take the important instructions of the Supreme Leader’s General Secretary’s inspection of Henan’s important speech as the general program, the general follow and the general guidance, regard adhering to high-quality development as the last word in the new era, seize the strategic opportunity of building a new development pattern, anchor the "two guarantees", thoroughly implement the "Ten Strategies", and focus on accelerating the transformation of old and new kinetic energy, thus improving the quality and efficiency of the province’s economic development. As Secretary-General Zhu Ming just introduced, in 2023, the supply and demand sides of the province will continue to recover, emerging industries will accelerate their growth, the economic structure will be optimized and upgraded, and the results of high-quality development will be further revealed. This fully reflects the resilience, vitality and great potential of Henan’s economic development, and fully demonstrates that the series of strategic arrangements and policy measures of the provincial party Committee and the provincial government to promote high-quality development are completely correct, scientific and effective.

　　The second is to seek truth from facts. The CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core attaches great importance to statistical work, and the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has made many important speeches and instructions, profoundly expounding the important comprehensive and basic role of statistics in economic and social development. The provincial party committee and the provincial government resolutely implement the decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee on statistical reform and development, firmly establish and practice a correct outlook on political achievements, and resolutely safeguard the scientific and authoritative nature of statistical work and the authenticity and accuracy of statistical data. Under the strong leadership of the provincial party Committee and the provincial government, we have made the fundamental requirement of "firmly holding the lifeline of data quality" run through all aspects of statistical work, corrected the historical data of the same period in a realistic way, resolutely made the current data real, the quality and efficiency of statistical work have been continuously improved, and the quality of source statistical data has become more reliable, which fully demonstrated the clear attitude and firm determination of the provincial party Committee and the provincial government to persist in seeking truth from facts and oppose fraud.

　　The third is to adhere to scientific rigor. Everyone’s concern about GDP is a macroeconomic indicator to measure the scale of economic operation in a country or region, and it is also the requirement of China’s accounting system to revise GDP data. When the basic data source or accounting method system of GDP accounting changes, it is necessary to revise the historical data to ensure the comparability of data between different years. Generally, the annual GDP should be accounted for twice. The first time is the preliminary accounting, which is mainly based on the progress statistics and departmental administrative records due to the limitation of data sources. The second time is the final verification, mainly based on the annual statistical data, financial final accounts data and departmental administrative records, etc., to revise the preliminary accounting results and use them as the base for the preliminary accounting next year. Often there will be some differences between the final verification data and the preliminary accounting data. We should treat these problems correctly and rationally.

　　Generally speaking, at present, our province is in the sprint period of the transformation from old to new, and the scale and speed of individual indicators fluctuate in the short term. This is a normal adjustment in the process of economic wave development and tortuous progress. This adjustment is conducive to the improvement of data quality, the stable and healthy operation of the economy, and the high-quality development of Henan. We believe that the economic prospects of Henan will be bright.

　　Thank you.

　　Pingping

　　Thank you for your detailed questions and answers! Time, today’s on-site questions are here first. If journalists and friends have other concerns, they can contact the relevant publishing units after the press conference for further interviews.
