Economic strength, scientific and technological strength, and comprehensive national strength leap to a new level
During the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, my country's economy maintained a relatively rapid growth rate. From 2016 to 2018, my country’s total economic output has successively exceeded the 70 trillion, 80 trillion, and 90 trillion mark. In 2020, my country will become the only major economy in the world to achieve positive economic growth. Breaking through 100 trillion yuan for the first time... During the "13th Five-Year Plan" period, China's total economic output was firmly ranked second in the world. At the same time, the per capita GDP has exceeded US$10,000 for two consecutive years, making it one of the top middle-income countries.
"During the'Thirteenth Five-Year Plan' period, my country's economic and social development has achieved all-round and groundbreaking historical achievements, and profound and fundamental historical changes have taken place. Especially in 2020, my country will become the only major economy in the world to achieve positive economic growth. It once again demonstrates the strong resilience of the Chinese economy." said Yang Changchang, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and chief economist of Shenwan Hongyuan Securities Research Institute.
In the past five years, China's economy has not only become stronger, but also stronger.
This is a five-year period of fruitful scientific and technological progress. "Chang'e" successfully landed on the moon and returned samples, "Tianwen-1" Mars probe was successfully launched, Beidou navigation global network, "Hualong-1" first stack was successfully connected to the grid... During the "13th Five-Year Plan" period, an innovative country Significant progress has been made in construction. The Global Innovation Index released by the World Intellectual Property Organization shows that my country's ranking has jumped from 29th in 2015 to 14th in 2020, and is the only middle-income economy among the top 30 on the list. "Science and technology innovation is the first driving force to lead high-quality development more powerfully." Yang Changchang said.
This is a five-year period of steady structural optimization. Looking at the industrial structure, in 2020, the added value of my country's tertiary industry will account for 54.5% of GDP, and its contribution to economic growth will be 48.4%. It has become the largest driving force for economic growth for six consecutive years. Looking at technological upgrading, in 2020, the added value of high-tech manufacturing will increase by 7.1% year-on-year, which is 4.3 percentage points higher than the added value of all industries above designated size.
This is the five years when the business environment is getting better and better. During the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, my country's average annual net increase of market entities was 12.477 million, and the international ranking of the business environment was greatly improved. In 2020, in the context of a sharp decline in global trade and transnational direct investment, my country’s total imports and exports of goods reached 32.2 trillion yuan, a record high, and its status as the largest country in goods trade has been consolidated.
This is the five years of continuous leaps in overall national strength. During the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, my country's industrial and agricultural production capacity has been significantly enhanced, and infrastructure has continued to improve. In 2020, my country's total grain output, manufacturing added value, number of 5G terminal connections, total mileage of expressways and high-speed rail operations will rank first in the world.
A string of dazzling numbers recorded the sonorous voice of my country's economic strength, scientific and technological strength, and comprehensive national strength during the "13th Five-Year Plan" period. "Especially in 2020, facing the severe and complex international situation, the arduous and arduous tasks of domestic reform, development and stability, especially the severe impact of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, China will hand over a response sheet that is satisfied by the people and attracted worldwide attention and can be recorded in the annals of history. "Xu Nuojin, deputy to the National People's Congress and president of the Zhengzhou Central Branch of the People's Bank of China, said.
The power of the system, the driving force of reform, and the ability to regulate and control promote new development
I don't know how difficult it is. During the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core has a far-sighted and comprehensive view, with extraordinary judgment, decision-making power, and action to lead China's economic giant to cut through waves and move forward steadily.
——The advantage of the system of concentrating efforts on major tasks, and gathering the majestic forces to overcome difficulties.
Relying on institutional advantages, coordinating epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development, my country took the lead in controlling the epidemic, resuming work and production, and taking the lead in realizing economic growth from negative to positive; relying on institutional advantages, my country has won the battle against poverty in an all-round way.
"Our greatest advantage is that my country's socialist system can concentrate its efforts on major issues. This is an important magic weapon for our achievements. History has proven and will continue to prove that the authority of the Party Central Committee is the time for the entire party and the people of all ethnic groups to rise to difficulties in times of crisis. Fundamental reliance and system advantages are the fundamental guarantee for the formation of the strength to overcome the majestic difficulties." said Zhang Zhanbin, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and dean of the School of Marxism at the Central Party School (National School of Administration).
——Continuously deepening supply-side structural reforms unleash the surging momentum of economic development.
The reform of decentralization, regulation and service continues to deepen, and the negative list system for market access is fully implemented... The economic system reform has added vitality to market entities. Compared with the end of the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan”, the total assets of state-owned enterprises under the supervision of the “Thirteenth Five-Year Plan” have increased by 82.1%, the threshold for the top 500 private enterprises has approximately doubled, and the number of newly registered enterprises nationwide has increased by approximately 83% per day.
The value-added tax rate is "four gears and three grades", and the value-added tax rate of manufacturing industries and other industries has been reduced...Tax cuts and fee reductions have allowed enterprises to go lightly. In the past five years, my country’s new tax and fee reductions totaled approximately 7.6 trillion yuan, which has enhanced the ability of enterprises to increase investment in transformation and upgrading.
"During the '13th Five-Year Plan' period, my country's economic system reform has been fully implemented and has made multiple breakthroughs, effectively enhancing the vitality of the development of the whole society." Zhang Zhanbin said.
——Constantly improving the macro-control, guarding the sailing sail of high-quality development.
We will do a solid job of the "six stability", fully implement the "six guarantees" task, and pay more attention to overall coordination in macro-control. The direct mechanism of "one rod to the end" shortened the time for new fiscal funds to reach the grassroots level from more than 120 days to one week. Inclusive of small and micro enterprise loan extension support tools and other monetary policy tools that directly reach the real economy have further unblocked the monetary policy transmission mechanism.
"During the '13th Five-Year Plan' period, we have followed economic laws, constantly innovated control methods, enriched control tools, and accumulated control experience. While promoting economic development, we also improved the quality and efficiency of development." Xu Nuojin said.
Driven by innovation, expanding domestic demand, and opening to the outside world contribute to a new journey
The representatives and members interviewed unanimously agreed that my country has shifted to a stage of high-quality development, the fundamentals of the long-term economic growth have not changed, and continued development has many advantages and conditions.
The family has a solid foundation and strong economic resilience. "The strong material foundation and complete industrial system accumulated by sustained and rapid development have enabled China's economy to have strong adjustment and repair capabilities, and provided solid support for the promotion of high-quality development." Yang Changchang said.
The market is vast and the room for maneuver is large. With 1.4 billion people and more than 400 million middle-income groups, China has formed an ultra-large-scale market. Xu Nuojin believes that the advantages of the ultra-large-scale market will be further highlighted in the future, and new industrialization, informatization, urbanization, and agricultural modernization will continue to advance, bringing greater room for development.
Abundant manpower and sufficient potential for innovation. The scale of labor supply in my country ranks among the top in the world, with 200 million skilled talents, and its total R&D investment steadily ranks second in the world, and innovations are emerging.
More importantly, in the practice of the "13th Five-Year Plan", the advantages of the leadership of the Communist Party of China and my country's socialist system have been further demonstrated, the new development concept has become more popular among the people, and the political qualities and fighting spirit of the majority of party members and cadres have been tempered. The ethnic people’s mental outlook has become more vigorous and vigorous, providing a strong political guarantee and a powerful force for progress to embark on the new journey of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way.
Looking forward to the "14th Five-Year Plan", development is still the foundation and key to solving all problems in our country.
"The development of the new era and the new stage must implement the new development concept, must be high-quality development, innovation becomes the first driving force, coordination becomes the endogenous characteristic, green becomes the universal form, openness becomes the only way, and sharing becomes the fundamental goal." Zhang Zhanbin Say.
Driven by innovation, we will comprehensively create new development advantages. Xu Nuojin believes that during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, it is necessary to thoroughly implement the innovation-driven development strategy, pool superior resources to fight key technological battles; at the same time, it is necessary to insist on focusing on economic development on the real economy and improve the modernization level of the industrial chain supply chain. .
Expand domestic demand and form a strong domestic market. From 2013 to 2019, the average contribution rate of my country's final consumption expenditure to economic growth was about 60%, and there is still much room for improvement. "We must adhere to the strategic basis of expanding domestic demand, and organically combine the implementation of the strategy of expanding domestic demand with the deepening of supply-side structural reforms to form a higher level of dynamic balance in which demand drives supply and supply creates demand." Yang Changchang said.
Open to the outside world and open up new prospects for win-win cooperation. The new development pattern is by no means a closed domestic cycle, but an open domestic and international double cycle. Yang Changchang believes that a high-level opening to the outside world must pay more attention to institutional opening, and to improve the efficiency and level of domestic large-scale circulation through international circulation.
During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, as long as we seize opportunities, respond to challenges, base on new development stages, implement new development concepts, build a new development pattern, and promote high-quality development, China's economic giant will continue to move forward unimpeded and through the waves!
