Ten important viewpoints on promoting high-quality development with governance modernization
Liu Wei: The socialist basic economic system has obvious advantages in continuously liberating and developing productive forces.
The socialist basic economic system has fundamentally overcome the opposition between capitalist private ownership and production socialization, mobilized the enthusiasm of the broad masses of workers to a greater extent, overcome the fundamental opposition between capital and labor, and created a foundation for effectively coordinating the relationship between micro-and macro-economic goals and between the government and the market. While fully stimulating the vitality of market players, it has overcome the opposition between private interests and long-term social development goals from the system, so that the liberation and development of productive forces have stronger motivation and broader space. This institutional advantage has strict and scientific theoretical logic, and has been transformed into a remarkable advantage in liberating and developing productive forces in practice, which is manifested in the following aspects: it has realized the long-term sustained and high-speed development of China’s economy and created a miracle for backward developing countries to get rid of poverty; It has the independent ability to develop the national economy independently, while maintaining steady economic growth, it also has strong anti-risk ability; The achievements of economic development can be translated into the general improvement of people’s quality of life to a greater extent. — — President of China Renmin University and Chairman of the New Era Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought Research Institute, the supreme leader of China Renmin University (Guangming Daily, 11th edition, December 13, 2019).
Zhang Junkuo: Perfecting the institutional environment is the key to successfully crossing the "middle income trap"
In the process of modernization of catch-up economy, there is not only the phenomenon of "middle income trap", but also the phenomenon of "institutional high wall". Through the comparative analysis of economic development and institutions in more than 100 countries, this theory finds that when an economy is at a low level of development, the requirements for institutional environment are not very high, but when it wants to break through the critical range of per capita GDP of 10,000 to 12,000 dollars, it needs a relatively perfect institutional environment, otherwise it will be difficult to cross this high wall and enter the ranks of modern countries. At present, China’s economic development and modernization process are close to this critical point, and the optimization of institutional environment is very important for the further advancement of modernization process.
To improve the institutional environment, we should focus on handling the relationship between the government and the market, follow the requirements of "effective market mechanism, dynamic micro-subjects, and moderate macro-control", seize the main contradictions and major issues, and concentrate our efforts in order to achieve practical results. — — Deputy Director of the State Council Development Research Center (Economic Daily, 15th edition, October 23, 2019)
Wang Bingquan: High-quality development needs a good institutional environment.
The core of the modernization of the national governance system is the improvement of the institutional system, which shows that all aspects of society are brought into a complete institutional framework for benign operation, and they will not be bothered by people. High-quality development urgently needs such an institutional environment. A good institutional environment brings a good social order and a stable social ecology, so that members of society and all walks of life can truly get their places. Only in this excellent environment can the development subject have the confidence to develop and the impulse to create.
On the political level, we must continue to strictly ensure that "politics is a door", eliminate the soil caused by political differences and political struggles from the system design, and build a ruling team that stresses politics, listens to instructions, and is clean and efficient. On the economic level, the development of mixed ownership, giving full play to the respective strengths of different forms of ownership and making them complement each other require further creation in institutional guarantee. — — Researcher, Institute of Political Science, China Academy of Social Sciences (People’s Forum, May 2019)
Gao Peiyong: The mode of resource allocation determines the characteristics of industrial system.
From the traditional economic system to the modern economic system, the combination of resource allocation methods will also undergo a two-dimensional turn. One is to change from government-led to market-led, and the other is that both market and government intervention should change from simple methods to complex ones. The government’s leading resource allocation and direct intervention in economic development can concentrate on mobilizing the capital and labor resources of the whole society, which will help the late-developing countries to promote industrialization quickly and realize take-off; This is not only recognized by the classical development theory, but also the reality of China’s planned economy era and reform and opening up. The model of "government-led+growth-oriented government+basic market mechanism" promotes the formation of an industrial system dominated by industry, but it also leads to a pattern of low internal efficiency and low-end dominance in various industries. When the combination of resource allocation mode is "market-oriented"+"sophisticated market mechanism"+"public service-oriented government", an industrial system with service-oriented and advanced internal structure of each industry can be established. — — Vice President and Member of China Academy of Social Sciences (Economic Research, No.4, 2019)
Drama Jinwen: We must promote economic system reform according to the principle of reducing transaction costs.
In the final analysis, the economic system is a series of rules that restrict the behavior of economic participants, and to measure the quality of an economic system, we must first look at the transaction costs it causes. A good system is an economic system that can continuously reduce transaction costs. As far as the current economic system of China is concerned, although it is generally consistent with the existing productivity level, there are still many unsatisfactory places. For example, the efficiency of state-owned economy and resource allocation in China still has room for further improvement, and the vitality of private economy has not been fully exerted, which restricts the high-quality development of China’s economy.
Therefore, it is necessary to intensify the reform of economic system and give state-owned enterprises more operational autonomy in accordance with the basic principle of reducing transaction costs; Through the "streamline administration, delegate power, strengthen regulation and improve services" reform, we will create a better policy environment, market environment and legal environment for the private economy, release the potential energy of market players to the maximum extent, and make the economic system truly become the institutional guarantee for high-quality development. — — Researcher, Institute of Economics, China Academy of Social Sciences (No.4 of National Governance Weekly, October 2019)
Liu Yuanchun: Promoting high-quality economic development with the macro-control system with China characteristics.
National governance is the result of the organic operation, organic combination and interaction of various systems. In order to give full play to its advantages and transform it into effective governance capacity, the existing systems should have correct political direction and strategic direction, an institutional system for allocating various resources, and an incentive mechanism and cultural system for fully mobilizing all kinds of subjects. The national development strategy ranks first in the macro-control with China’s characteristics, which is an important embodiment of the national medium-and long-term development plan. Through planning, we can unify our thinking, direction and actions, pool all kinds of resources and promote the implementation of major national strategies. Fiscal policy and monetary policy are the main means of our macro-control. In addition, our industrial, regional and employment policies also play a very important role. All these constitute the macro-control system with China characteristics. — — Vice President of China Renmin University (21st century business herald, November 19, 2019)
Liu Shangxi: Promoting high-quality economic and social development through fiscal and taxation system reform
The modernization of national governance system and governance capacity is an inevitable requirement for China’s economic and social development to reach a specific stage and achieve long-term national stability and national rejuvenation. Finance is the foundation and important pillar of state governance, and the modernization of fiscal and taxation system is a prerequisite for the modernization of state governance. The reform of fiscal and taxation system from the perspective of national governance should have new ideas and new paths. In particular, we should promote the reform of fiscal and taxation system with the central and local fiscal relations as the main body and the budget system and tax system as the two wings under the framework of two-level governance to avoid the reform falling into "fragmentation"; An advanced system needs advanced management means, tools and technology as its support. Therefore, the reform of fiscal and taxation system must attach importance to infrastructure construction to avoid falling into a situation where the advanced system is difficult to operate. Finance should play a basic role in national governance, infiltrate and sink into public policy and management, take fund management as the main line, coordinate and coordinate public policy and management, and make people, things and money in public management match more effectively; To play a pillar role in national governance, finance needs to be upgraded to a comprehensive national policy, and public management should be coordinated by fiscal management and public policy should be coordinated by fiscal policy. — — Party Secretary, Dean and Researcher of China Academy of Fiscal Science (National Governance Weekly, No.4, October 2019)
Ma Jiantang: Creating an Excellent Development Environment for the Real Economy
We should work hard to build a level playing field. We should fully mobilize the enthusiasm of all kinds of ownership enterprises to develop the real economy and create a fairer competitive environment; It is necessary to implement the shortest negative list system to provide fair access conditions for various market players; It is necessary to standardize market supervision and treat all kinds of market players equally; It is necessary to enforce the law fairly and effectively protect the legitimate rights and interests of various market players. Efforts should be made to optimize policies. The low profit rate is an important factor restricting the development of the real economy. To promote the gathering of various resource elements into the real economy, we must improve the profit rate of the real economy. It is necessary to reduce the tax burden of enterprises and create more profit space for market players by implementing larger-scale tax reduction and fee reduction. At the same time, it is necessary to effectively reduce the financing cost of the real economy, take measures such as lowering the RRR, lowering the real interest rate level, expanding direct financing, and supporting the accelerated development of market-oriented venture capital, so as to solve the problem of difficult and expensive financing in the real economy and promote finance to better serve the real economy. — — Party Secretary of the State Council Development Research Center (Economic Information Daily, A07 Edition, July 17, 2019)
Li Peng: Give full play to the role of the market as a "monitor" in the effective connection between consumption and industry
At present, China’s consumption upgrading has fully demonstrated and played a leading role in technological progress and scientific and technological innovation. However, compared with the development requirements driven by innovation, government regulation, policy adjustment and market system are still in the process of reform and reconstruction. We must speed up this process in order to stimulate the potential advantages of China’s huge consumer market capacity to a greater extent. First, we should take intellectual property protection as a long-term task, speed up the improvement of laws and policies on science and technology and intellectual property, and stimulate the internal driving force of innovation subjects. Second, we should clearly define the role of the government and the market in promoting consumption and innovation. We should not only give play to the macro-leading role of the government in strategic industries, but also accelerate the improvement of the micro-market system to promote consumption, expand competition and reduce regulation, and deeply stimulate the enthusiasm of enterprises and residents for independent development. Third, it is necessary to further strengthen support for small and medium-sized enterprises, give full play to their natural adaptability and viability to the market economy, and make them play the role of innovative subjects in high-quality economic development. — — Professor, Department of Economics, Party School of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (National School of Administration) (People’s Forum, mid-May 2019)
Chi Fulin: Promoting the process of high-quality development with the breakthrough of openness and innovation
A new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation is changing the way of human production and life, and its outstanding feature is global open innovation. A new generation of information technologies, such as artificial intelligence, 5G communication and industrial Internet, have made breakthroughs in concentration, and accelerated the infiltration and integration into traditional industries to promote the reconstruction of industrial chains, value chains and supply chains. At present, China’s economic transformation is intertwined with the new round of scientific and technological revolution, and it is even more necessary to lay a solid foundation for innovation-led development, strengthen the technical support for innovation-led development, and build R&D — The market integration system forms a policy and institutional environment that supports and encourages enterprise innovation, and fully stimulates the innovation vitality and innovation potential of enterprises. — — Dean of China (Hainan) Reform and Development Research Institute (Economic Daily, 15th edition, October 31, 2019)
