Educate new opportunities in a crisis and start a new situation in the face of changing circumstances. “Accelerate the construction of a complete domestic demand system” has become a prescription for China in the face of the great changes.
In the year of fully building a well-off society and the ending of the 13th Five-Year Plan and the year of decisive battle and decisive victory, the sudden new coronary pneumonia epidemic will bring economic and social development to China In the future, how to coordinate the advancement of epidemic prevention and control, economic and social development, and the achievement of economic and social development goals throughout the year has become the focus of national attention.
You can follow the trend only when you seek for it. “Comprehensive”, “dialectical” and “long-term” provide us with a philosophical methodology for scientifically understanding and grasping the current situation and policies. The more complex the situation and the more severe the challenges, the more we must jump out of the current difficulties, raise our heads, look at the overall situation, and seek long-term goals.
Standing high from a global perspective: a deep recession in the world economy, a sharp contraction in international trade and investment, turbulence in international financial markets, limited international exchanges, and economic globalization Encountering counter-currents, the prevalence of protectionism and unilateralism in some countries, and rising geopolitical risks … China must be pursued in a more unstable and uncertain world.
Looking back at China ’s actual national conditions and long-term economic development context: China ’s basic characteristics of sufficient economic potential, strong resilience, large room for maneuver, and many policy tools have not changed. China has the most complete and largest industrial system in the world, strong production capacity, and complete supporting capabilities. It has more than 100 million market players and more than 170 million highly educated or possessing various professional skills, as well as more than 400 million. The ultra-large-scale domestic demand market formed by the 1.4 billion people, including middle-income groups, is in the stage of rapid development of new-type industrialization, informatization, urbanization, and agricultural modernization, with huge potential for investment demand. This is the greatest advantage and potential of the large country economy that we have formed through long-term accumulation and cultivation, and it is also the greatest strength for the Chinese economy to respond to risk challenges.
Based on the scientific understanding of the situation and grasping the development trend, it is a dialectic way for China ’s economic crisis to be an opportunity—taking the domestic demand as the starting point and foothold for development, Accelerate the construction of a complete domestic demand system, firmly implement the strategy of expanding domestic demand, and unleash the greatest potential of the Chinese economy. This will create a lasting and strong impetus for economic growth.
The data shows that in recent years, China ’s demand structure has been continuously optimized, and domestic demand-driven features have become more prominent. The role of consumption in driving economic growth has continued to increase, and it has become an economic growth for 6 consecutive years. The first driving force. The pace of consumption upgrade is accelerating, and the scale of consumer demand continues to expand. In 2019, IChina’s per capita GDP has exceeded 10,000 US dollars, and the total retail sales of social consumer goods has exceeded 41 trillion yuan. China has become the world’s second largest consumer market.
“Members of the economic community and I have the opportunity to listen to the general secretary’s important speech. We are very inspired and pay special attention to these sentences to speed up the construction of a complete domestic demand system.” Committee member and dean of the Central Party School (National School of Administration) Marxism School Zhang Zhanbin told the reporter of the Economic Reference News that we have full initiative to build a complete domestic demand system and there are many policy tools. We should have sufficient advantages for these advantages Judgment, knowledge and confidence.
“At present, the economic situation does have a very serious side. When everyone is concentrating on responding to the impact of the epidemic, pay attention to looking at the overall situation, It is particularly important to seek long-term opportunities and grasp opportunities from a strategic perspective. “Zhang Liqun, a researcher at the Macroeconomic Research Department of the Development Research Center of the State Council, pointed out that the general secretary ’s speech broadened our horizons. Such a large space-time observation allows us to more fully understand the risks and Challenge, more clearly grasp the stage of development of the Chinese economy, and fully grasp the many favorable conditions that support the continued improvement of the Chinese economy. This is the most important basis for understanding and seizing opportunities from crises and challenges.
Zhang Liqun pointed out that “bringing up new opportunities in a crisis and opening up new situations in a changing situation” implies that we must not only effectively hedge the impact of the epidemic, but also solve it fundamentally The challenges and difficulties brought about by the “three-phase superposition” to economic development.
“China ’s long-term economic development has a solid foundation and has the most potential consumer market in the world. The question is how to transform the potential market into real demand and the real demand into The driving force for enterprise development, “said Yang Changchang, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and chief economist of Shenwan Hongyuan Securities Research Institute.
The Politburo meeting held on April 17 made it clear that we will firmly implement the strategy of expanding domestic demand. In this year ’s government work report, the “road map” for the strategy of expanding domestic demand was further clarified: China ’s domestic demand has great potential, and it is necessary to deepen structural reforms on the supply side, highlight the orientation of people ’s livelihood, and effectively promote and promote consumption and investment expansion.
Representatives and experts pointed out that the current strategy for expanding domestic demand is not a simple copy of the previous policy, but a comprehensive measure endogenous to comprehensively deepen reforms. , And benefit the long-term remedy.
—— More emphasis on reform, especially with supply-side structural reform as the main line. DeepenSupply-side structural reform and the strategy of expanding domestic demand are effectively combined, both to support the expansion of domestic consumption and effective investment demand through the necessary policies to create market demand for enterprises to resume production and achieve production; and guide enterprises to innovate products, services and supply models, more Good to meet the diversified and escalating market demand.
—— More prominent people’s livelihood orientation. Take meeting domestic needs as the starting point and goal of development. In terms of promoting the recovery of consumption, by stabilizing employment and promoting the increase of income to protect people’s livelihood, the residents’ willingness and ability to consume are improved. In terms of expanding effective investment, we will focus on supporting the “two new and one important” construction that not only promotes consumption and benefits people’s livelihood, but also adjusts structural growth, that is, new infrastructure construction, new urbanization construction, transportation, water conservancy and other major construction projects.
“The construction of domestic domestic demand system is mainly to supplement the shortcomings of the consumer market, to meet domestic demand as the starting point and foothold of development, to better meet the growing beauty of the people Life needs. “Zhang Zhanbin pointed out.
—— More emphasis on the construction of a complete system. This includes both supply and demand ends, consumption and investment wings, as well as the circulation of various factors, and also includes reform measures and policy support, which is a series of comprehensive measures.
Zhang Zhaoan, a deputy to the National People ’s Congress and deputy dean of the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences, told reporters from the Economic Reference News that to promote the strategy of expanding domestic demand and building a complete domestic demand system, we must seize both ends.
One end is to promote consumption, stabilize traditional consumption, and promote new consumption, especially to vigorously develop the new online economy that was born during the epidemic, and promote consumption on a large scale Level; the other end focuses on the “two new and one heavy” construction, and actively expands effective investment. At the same time, through the corresponding policies and measures to promote and promote the recovery of private investment and stable growth.
In Zhang Zhanbin ’s view, to build a complete domestic demand system, we should take into account both total demand and total supply to form a systematic framework. As the General Secretary said, more new growth points and growth poles will be formed, and efforts will be made to get through all links in production, distribution, circulation, and consumption, and a new development pattern will be gradually formed with the domestic major cycle as the main body and the domestic and international dual cycles promoting each other. “The domestic demand system is actually a circular system of the national economy, and it must be viewed from such a height, and it must be constructed according to such a large system.”
“If Implementing the strategy of expanding domestic demand and fully releasing the huge potential of the domestic market, the Chinese economy can not only effectively respond to the impact of the epidemic, butAnd it will fundamentally solve the problem of insufficient demand. The Chinese economy will start a new round of good growth, which is very important for us to build a well-off society in an all-round way and for the good start of the ’14th Five-Year Plan’. Zhang Liqun pointed out.
The direction is clear and the motivation is doubled. Adhere to the supply-side structural reform, firmly implement the strategy of expanding domestic demand, and will effectively promote the implementation of the “six stability” To ensure the completion of a decisive victory, a comprehensive construction of a well-off society, a decisive battle against poverty, and a mission to promote the country ’s economy to take advantage of the wind and waves, and to achieve stability.
