Xinhua Finance and Economics, Beijing, February 4 (Reporter Ma Yueran) "The Communist Party of China, on learning and using the experience of the "Thousand Village Demonstration and Ten Thousand Village Renovation" project to effectively and effectively promote the comprehensive revitalization of the countryside was released on the 3rd, which is the 12th document to guide the work of "three rural" since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. For the first time, the document wrote the "Ten Million Project" as a typical case in the title, and made the work deployment of "two guarantees, three promotions and one strengthening".
Rural revitalization is a basic project to build an agricultural power. To fight a good battle for the comprehensive revitalization of the countryside, we must conscientiously implement the deployment requirements of Document No. 1. How to learn and use the experience of the "Ten Million Project"? How to do a good job in the diversified investment mechanism of rural revitalization and rely on social forces to lay a better foundation for social capital? Experts offer advice on this.
The soul and essence of the "Ten Million Project" experience lies in the comprehension of concepts and methods
In 2024, Document No. 1 will write the title of "Ten Million Project" as a typical case for the first time. Experts pointed out that the experience of learning and applying the "Ten Million Project" as the guide, which affirms the universal significance of the "Ten Million Project" in the comprehensive revitalization of the countryside.
Gong Binlei, executive vice president of the China Rural Development Research Institute of Zhejiang University, said that the connotation of the "Ten Million Project" in practice is constantly enriched, from the rural construction project of human settlements improvement and ecological environment improvement, it has developed into a basic and pivotal project that changes the development concept, industrial structure, public services, governance methods and urban-rural relations of the countryside.
Zhong Zhen, vice president of the College of Agriculture and Rural Development of the Chinese National University, pointed out that in order to concentrate efforts on doing a good job in doing a number of practical things that can be felt and within the reach of the masses, it is necessary to find out the starting point and the end point of work from the expectations of the peasant masses, and to think about problems, make decisions, and handle things from reality.
It should be noted that the soul and essence of the experience of learning from the "Ten Million Project" lies in understanding the concepts and methods therein, rather than the specific practices. Zhong Zhen stressed that there are still great differences in the development speed and concept of the northern and southern villages, so it is necessary to adhere to the combination of adapting measures to local conditions and drawing a blueprint to the end, and work steadily and steadily for a long time. It is necessary to start from the perspective of "visible" rural construction, such as the environmental improvement of villages, the construction of infrastructure for water, electricity, gas and heating, etc., to lay a good foundation for rural modernization, and then from the perspective of "invisible" rural governance, to build consensus, seek breakthroughs, and realize the level of rural social harmony, cultural prosperity, shared prosperity and deep integration and interaction between urban and rural areas.
Gong Binlei said that to effectively promote the comprehensive revitalization of the countryside with the "Ten Million Project", it is necessary to focus on three aspects. First, it is necessary to highlight the stage, for the villages that are still in the stage of "dirty and messy", it is imperative to improve the living environment, and when the beautiful countryside is basically completed, the village management should be started in a timely manner, the concept of "two mountains" should be practiced, and long-term governance should be emphasized. Second, it is necessary to improve the institutional guarantee, especially in the process of promoting village management, it is necessary to continuously promote the reform of the rural collective property rights system and awaken the "sleeping" resources in the countryside. Third, it is necessary to give full play to the role of the market mechanism, mobilize the enthusiasm of market players to enter rural construction through certain interest levers, and make the rural "cake" bigger with the help of social capital.
Social capital is an important supporting force for comprehensively promoting rural revitalization
Improve the diversified investment mechanism for rural revitalization, which emphasizes: encourage social capital to invest in agriculture and rural areas, and effectively prevent and correct improper behaviors in investment and operation.
Zeng Yande, chief agronomist and director of the Development Planning Department of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, once said at a press conference on the agricultural and rural economic situation in the first quarter of 2023 that the investment demand in agriculture and rural areas in the next 5 to 10 years will be nearly 15 trillion yuan.
Social capital is an important supporting force for the comprehensive promotion of rural revitalization, and it is necessary to increase the leverage of policy guidance, expand effective investment in agriculture and rural areas, and make up for the gap in financial investment in agriculture and rural areas. Gong Binlei pointed out that an important support of the "Ten Million Project" is to rely on social forces to form a joint force for the whole society to participate in rural construction, and lay a good foundation for China, especially in developed regions.
To this end, Gong Binlei believes that two aspects of work should be done: first, to further broaden the field of access, and encourage social capital to actively participate in key industries and fields, including modern seed industry, agricultural and rural green development, agricultural and rural infrastructure construction; Second, it is necessary to coordinate the relationship of interests, do a good job in the platform support and factor guarantee of market entities in the process of participating in rural revitalization, and at the same time explore a new cooperation model with social capital, especially to enrich the realization form of "village management". In the next step, we may explore the project-based management of agricultural and rural investment, avoid blindness and adverse selection and moral hazard problems of agriculture-related investment, and strictly investigate and deal with illegal activities such as arbitrage and fraud of project funds and engaging in non-agricultural activities in the name of agriculture-related operations.
Lu Kaiyu, a researcher at the Institute of Agricultural Economics and Development of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, said that it is necessary to regulate the short-term behavior of social capital, such as blind investment without preliminary planning, and false investment in non-agricultural real estate under the banner of investment in the park. It is necessary to strengthen the examination of access conditions, strengthen the supervision of the business process, and reduce investment failures and short-term investment while making good use of social capital.
Zhong Zhen pointed out that the entry of social capital into agriculture and rural areas has two sides. To guide the good use of social capital, it is not only necessary to strengthen its investment in operational projects and promote the better and faster development of rural industries; It is also necessary to encourage their attention to public welfare projects. At present, the construction of public welfare projects in infrastructure and public services in agriculture and rural areas needs more capital investment, but relevant institutional mechanisms need to be supported. It is recommended to formulate an access system for industrial and commercial capital to enter the agricultural and rural fields, such as establishing a project white list, and clearly supporting, encouraging and guiding industrial and commercial capital to enter the operational fields and public welfare fields; At the same time, it is also necessary to improve the risk prevention mechanism for the entry of social capital, such as setting up a "negative list", and designing access conditions and participation boundaries in a timely manner. On this basis, it is necessary to do a good job in setting up a principled system, and in particular, it is necessary to uphold the collective ownership of rural areas and stabilize the peasants' right to contract management. In addition, attention should be paid to combining the introduction of social capital with the development of a new type of collective economy in local rural areas.
