Just a few days ago, on December 8, the Politburo of the Communist Party of China held a meeting. The meeting made a judgment on China's economic situation this year that "it is picking up and improving", and at the same time clearly put forward that in the future, it is necessary to "adhere to the general tone of the work of seeking progress while maintaining stability".
Subsequently, as the highest-level meeting with economic work as the core topic, this ** economic work conference, as in previous years, made a specific elaboration on the principles, principles and work arrangements determined by the ** Politburo meeting held last week.
In terms of specific wording, many of the terms in the Politburo meeting, including "insisting on seeking progress while maintaining stability, promoting stability with progress, establishing first and then breaking", "effectively enhancing economic vitality, preventing and resolving risks, and improving social expectations", "forming a virtuous circle in which consumption and investment promote each other", and "continuing to effectively prevent and resolve risks in key areas", have been embodied and explained at this ** economic work conference.
In terms of the overall requirements for future economic work, although the first economic work conference still maintained the same expression of "seeking progress in stability" as last year, it is required to "adhere to the principle of seeking progress in stability, promoting stability with progress, and establishing first and then breaking", and requires "more policies that are conducive to stabilizing expectations, stabilizing growth, and stabilizing employment, and actively forging ahead in changing the mode, adjusting the structure, improving quality, and increasing efficiency, and constantly consolidating the foundation for stability and improvement", which is intriguing.
What does it mean to "insist on seeking progress while maintaining stability, promoting stability with progress, and establishing first and then breaking"?A person in charge of the National Development and Reform Commission's Comprehensive Department of National Economy said a few days ago that the key is to grasp the dialectical relationship contained in it. On the basis of "stability", we should promote "progress" and achieve "stability" through "progress" in economic structure, development quality, and major reforms. It is also necessary to grasp the order of "establishment" and "breaking", otherwise it will affect the overall situation of economic development, which is also an important aspect of economic work.
In other words, the primary requirement for future economic development is to "seize all favorable opportunities, take advantage of all favorable conditions, and get a good grasp of doing what we can, and do more if we can." Although some unexpected problems may arise in the process, the benefits always outweigh the disadvantages for social development. In the face of domestic and international problems encountered in the current process of economic development, "making the economic cake bigger" is still the first priority of current social development, and high-quality economic growth can further stabilize the social order, thereby laying the foundation for a virtuous cycle of the economy.
It is worth noting that on the 12th, the head of state of China arrived in Hanoi for a state visit to Vietnam. The outside world pays close attention to the political and economic interaction between China and Vietnam, not only in the context of the world power game, but also in the prospects of economic cooperation between the two countries in the region, and further attention to the extent to which such cooperation may have exogenous impetus for China's economy.
Especially considering the time of this visit, which happened to be just after the first economic work conference, this "coincidence" also released a different kind of political signal in the international community: it is necessary to grasp the economic fundamentals at home and achieve "seeking progress while maintaining stability";On the one hand, it will deeply integrate into the world economic system and continue to promote high-level opening-up.
The visit to Vietnam also continued the logic of exchanges with major countries in the region and even the world in the past period. Represented by events such as the China-US summit in San Francisco and the China-EU summit, China has continuously demonstrated its determination to further open up to the world and its sincerity for win-win cooperation among major countries.
Looking back on the past, and then carefully examining the content of the latest economic work conference, as well as the recent trends in China's diplomacy, it is not difficult to see the direction of China's economic work in the future: in the current complex situation of "insufficient effective demand, overcapacity in some industries, weak social expectations, and many hidden risks, there are blockages in the domestic cycle, and the complexity, severity and uncertainty of the external environment are rising", in order to achieve the high-quality development of the economy of a large country, it is not only necessary to look inward In the reform of the economic system, we will continue to build a strong, resilient and reliable national economic system, and enhance the endogenous power and reliability of the domestic cycleAt the same time, it is also necessary to "look outward" extensively, further integrate with the world economic system in the process of high-level opening up, shape new advantages in international competition, and improve the quality and level of the international circulation. Only by promoting the mutual promotion of domestic and international circulation can the factors of production circulate smoothly on a larger scale, expand the depth and breadth of the economy of a large country, and promote the spiral of China's economy.
