Huang Yun:Good morning, journalists and friends! I’m Huang Yun, director of the General Office of State Taxation Administration of The People’s Republic of China and spokesperson. Welcome to the press conference of the State Administration of Taxation. Present at today’s conference are Ms. Meng Yuying, Director of the International Taxation Department of State Taxation Administration of The People’s Republic of China, Mr. Rong Hai Lou, Director of the Income Planning and Accounting Department, and Mr. Shen Xinguo, Director of the Tax Service Department. They will introduce relevant information and answer your questions.

Huang Yun, Director of the General Office of State Taxation Administration of The People’s Republic of China and spokesperson.

The 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China emphasized the need to adhere to the people-centered development ideology, so that the achievements of modernization can benefit all people more fairly, and put forward clear requirements for further optimizing the business environment. The State Administration of Taxation thoroughly studied and implemented the spirit of the 20th Congress of the Communist Party of China, fully implemented the decision-making arrangements made by the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, and focused on the "urgent difficulties and worries" of taxpayers. This year, with the theme of "doing a good job in benefiting the people and modernizing services", it launched the "Spring Breeze Action for Facilitating Taxes" for the 10th consecutive year, and launched the first batch of 17 measures for facilitating services to further solve practical problems and continuously optimize the tax business environment. These measures have been welcomed by taxpayers and payers, and some of them have been effective. For example, 13 items of tax-related fees were included in the scope of allowance, and 34 items of tax and fee information were further streamlined. Digital RMB payment of taxes and fees met the diversified needs of taxpayers, and tax and fee processing was more efficient and faster. Another example is to further play the role of tax big data, and on the premise of respecting the wishes of enterprises, to bridge the gap between enterprises with poor supply chain in the industrial chain and help the supply and demand sides to connect. In January, 426 enterprises have been helped to realize effective purchase and sale of 980 million yuan independently.

While wholeheartedly implementing the first batch of measures of the "Spring Breeze Action for Convenient Taxation", we further focused on the new demands and expectations of taxpayers and payers, and then launched the second batch of 25 measures for convenient service. These measures cover a wider range and are richer in content, and mainly have the following characteristics:First, focus on the efficient implementation of policies to help enterprises solve difficulties.For example, multi-channel accurate policy push will make the tax and fee policy dividend better direct and fast.The second is to focus on promoting intelligent taxation to help enterprises reduce burdens and increase efficiency.For example, the implementation of social insurance handling and payment business "through one network" and the exploration of the implementation of "one-click zero declaration" of stamp duty of electronic taxation bureau will make taxation more intelligent and convenient.The third is to focus on optimizing law enforcement methods to help enterprises compete fairly.For example, for some tax-related matters of a specific nature, we will implement law enforcement methods such as persuasion and education, prompting and reminding, actively carry out credit repair, and guide business entities to participate in fair competition and develop healthily and orderly.

In recent years, China tax authorities have also actively served the high-level opening-up and high-quality joint construction of the Belt and Road, blowing the "convenience spring breeze" to the Belt and Road.

In April 2019, in order to implement the spirit of the important instructions of the Chairman of the Supreme Leader on jointly building the Belt and Road and deepening international tax cooperation, at the initiative of China and State Taxation Administration of The People’s Republic of China, the "Belt and Road" tax collection and management cooperation mechanism was formally established, dedicated to improving the coordination and reciprocity in the tax field of the "Belt and Road" countries and building a growth-friendly tax environment. The "One Belt, One Road" tax collection and management capacity promotion alliance is an institution specifically responsible for capacity building such as training, research and technical assistance under the cooperation mechanism. Today, the Alliance will publicly release version 1.0 of the Alliance curriculum system to the world through the cooperation mechanism of official website and the website of the Belt and Road Taxation Institute. In the construction of this curriculum system, China has actively participated in and contributed an important force through the Alliance Office. Its popularization and application will give full play to the multilateral role of the cooperation mechanism, and help us deepen international tax exchange and cooperation, and work with the tax authorities of the Belt and Road partners to jointly build the Belt and Road with high quality. Mainly reflected in:

First, take tax as the medium, learn from each other and promote the improvement of ability together.By jointly launching the curriculum system and in-depth tax training, the alliance is conducive to deepening cooperation and complementing each other’s advantages, and helping the "Belt and Road" partners to jointly improve their tax collection and management capabilities in strengthening experience sharing and mutual learning.

The second is to help finance with taxes, enhance recognition and promote the integration of rules.China’s tax authorities actively participate in the formulation of international tax rules, and promote the Belt and Road partners to better abide by and improve tax rules through alliance training, so as to enhance tax certainty, which is conducive to promoting the "soft connectivity" of rules and standards of member countries.

The third is to serve the overall situation and promote economic and trade convenience with taxation.Relying on cooperation mechanisms and alliances, China tax authorities will further strengthen personnel training, deepen international tax cooperation and mutual assistance in tax collection and management, which will help to eliminate cross-border trade and investment barriers and better promote the trade liberalization and facilitation of "Belt and Road" partners.

I’ll introduce these first, and then enter the question-and-answer session. Welcome to ask questions.

CCTV reporter from the Central Radio and Television General Station asked questions.

1. CCTV reporter from the Central Radio and Television General Station: Just now, Director Huang mentioned that the tax authorities have launched the second batch of 25 successive measures of the "Spring Breeze Action for Facilitating Taxes". Please introduce the specific situation.

Shen Xinguo, Director of State Taxation Administration of The People’s Republic of China Tax Service Department

Shen Xinguo:Thank you for your question. The State Administration of Taxation launched the second batch of 25 measures, focusing on solving practical problems for taxpayers and payers from six aspects.

In terms of "improving the quality of appeal response",Five measures, such as promoting preferential tax policies and optimizing the functions of natural person tax management system, were introduced to optimize tax payment services and enhance tax payment experience. For example, the tax authorities will make good use of the "Fengqiao experience" in the new era, continue to unblock the channels for taxpayers to express their demands and protect their rights and interests, give full play to the role of mediation, and better safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of taxpayers and payers.

In terms of "policy implementation and efficiency improvement",Five measures, such as optimizing the library of tax and fee policies and regulations, strengthening the publicity and interpretation of tax and fee policies, and improving the awareness and delivery rate of policies, were introduced. For example, the State Administration of Taxation will optimize and improve the official website tax and fee policies and regulations library to further facilitate the public to inquire about the tax and fee policies; The "Volunteer Action of Tax Youth Helping Enterprises and Benefiting the People" will also be launched, and the vast number of tax youths will be organized to provide taxpayers with more detailed and temperature-sensitive services in the form of voluntary service, so as to promote the more accurate and effective implementation of tax and fee policies.

In terms of "fine service upgrading",Five measures were introduced, such as strengthening regional law enforcement coordination, jointly carrying out theme service month activities to help small and medium-sized enterprises develop with the departments of industry and information technology, and deepening the pilot project of "bank-tax interaction" data direct connection with the banking and insurance supervision department to better serve high-quality development. For example, the tax authorities will deepen the interactive service of tax collection and payment, and help taxpayers to solve the policy and operation problems encountered in online tax payment through "ask" and "do" collaborative services such as accurate push, intelligent response and sharing on the same screen, and assist them to complete business processing, making "non-contact" tax payment more convenient and easier to handle.

In terms of "speeding up intelligent taxation",Three measures were introduced to improve the convenience of tax payment, such as optimizing the tax terminal function of natural person tax management information system, continuously implementing social insurance handling and online "one-line communication" for payment business. For example, the tax authorities will further expand the promotion results of electronic tax payment across provinces, provide more convenient tax payment methods for taxpayers operating across provinces, and realize cross-provincial tax payment without leaving home.

In terms of "streamlining processes and upgrading",Five measures, such as simplifying the stamp duty declaration process and promoting the pilot of the occupational injury protection system, were introduced to optimize the taxpayer’s handling experience. For example, the tax authorities will simplify the stamp duty declaration process, explore the combined declaration of taxable contracts with the same tax items in some industries and keep them for future reference, optimize the stamp duty declaration of the electronic tax bureau, explore the realization of "one-click zero declaration", and further optimize the taxpayer’s tax declaration experience.

In terms of "standardizing law enforcement and upgrading",Two measures were introduced to further optimize tax law enforcement and safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of taxpayers and payers. For example, for some tax-related business matters of a specific nature, persuasion and education, tips and reminders are promoted and used; We will strengthen the dynamic management of information on the subject of major tax violations and dishonesty, actively carry out credit repair work for taxpayers who meet the compliance conditions after correcting mistakes, and guide them to operate legally and standardize their development.

In the next step, the tax authorities will pay close attention to the implementation of the above measures, promote the spring breeze of tax collection for the convenience of the people, warm the people’s hearts, and continuously improve the sense of acquisition and satisfaction of taxpayers and payers.

Thank you!

People’s Daily reporter asked questions.

2. People’s Daily reporter: Just now, Director Shen said that one of the important contents of the second batch of measures of "Spring Breeze Action for Convenient Taxation" is to further expand the promotion results of electronic tax payment across provinces in China. Can you tell us more about it?

Rong Hai Building, Director of State Taxation Administration of The People’s Republic of China Revenue Planning and Accounting Department

Rong Hai building:Thank you for your question. In recent years, the tax authorities have vigorously promoted electronic tax payment and made great efforts to provide taxpayers with convenient and efficient tax service. At present, 99% of tax returns have been processed online, and more than 95% of taxes have been paid into the warehouse by electronic tax payment. However, there are some problems, such as the low degree of electronicization and inconvenience, in the transfer and payment between the place of registration and the place of business, for the payable taxes arising from the establishment of project departments and branches across provinces and other places to carry out business activities (such as the establishment of project departments across provinces and other places to provide construction and installation services). To this end, since 2021, the tax department and the treasury department of the People’s Bank of China have strengthened collaborative innovation. With the strong support of relevant commercial banks, 12 regions in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei, Yangtze River Delta and other regions with active inter-provincial business activities have been selected to take the lead in launching cross-provincial electronic tax payment pilots, and in 2022, the promotion efforts have been further strengthened, the application scope has been expanded, and positive results have been achieved. In 2022, more than 150 commercial banks have supported the inter-provincial and off-site electronic tax payment business, and handled a total of 310,000 inter-provincial and off-site electronic tax payments with a tax revenue of 57.5 billion yuan. Taxpayers report that after electronic tax payment across provinces and different places is realized, it can be handled without leaving home, which effectively reduces the burden and improves efficiency.

This year, we will continue to improve and perfect in accordance with the deployment arrangement of the "Spring Breeze Action for Convenient Taxation", and further expand the promotion results of electronic tax payment across provinces and different places in China.On the one hand,Expand the coverage of local commercial banks, cooperate with the treasury department of the People’s Bank of China to further enhance the participation of some local commercial banks that have not yet joined this business in implementing cross-provincial electronic tax payment, guide and promote more qualified local commercial banks to participate in and support cross-provincial electronic tax payment.On the other hand,Expand the coverage of tax payment business. At present, commercial banks mainly support taxpayers who have signed tax deduction agreements with tax authorities and banks to handle cross-provincial electronic tax payment business, and promote commercial banks to further optimize system functions, increase support for taxpayers who have not signed tax deduction agreements to handle cross-provincial electronic tax payment business, and further enhance the convenience of taxpayers operating across provinces. Thank you!

China securities journal reporter asked questions.

3. Reporter from china securities journal: It is also an important measure of the "Spring Breeze Action for Facilitating Taxes" to do a good job in the first batch of tax-related reform measures replicated and promoted in the whole country. Can you tell us more about it?

Shen Xinguo:Thank you for your question. Optimizing the business environment is the key to cultivate and stimulate the vitality of business entities and enhance the endogenous power of development. In 2021, the State Council was deployed in six cities including Beijing, Shanghai, Chongqing, Hangzhou, Guangzhou and Shenzhen to carry out business environment innovation pilot projects. The Party Committee of the State Administration of Taxation fully implemented the decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, thoroughly implemented the pilot work of business environment innovation, guided and urged the tax bureaus of six pilot cities to implement 16 tax-related measures and achieved remarkable results. In September, 2022, the General Office of the State Council issued the Notice on Replicating and Promoting Pilot Reform Measures of Business Environment Innovation, and decided to replicate and promote 50 pilot innovation measures nationwide, including 12 tax-related measures. The main highlights of these measures are:

First, continue to compress the tax payment time.The implementation of "multi-tax integration" comprehensive declaration, the pilot unit to integrate corporate income tax and property and behavior tax comprehensive declaration, relying on the electronic tax bureau to achieve "one declaration, one payment, one voucher"; Beijing, Shanghai and Chongqing also include value-added tax, consumption tax and vehicle purchase tax in the scope of comprehensive declaration, making it easier for taxpayers to declare. The pilot units distribute tax UKey to taxpayers in non-contact ways such as self-collection, mail delivery and so on through channels such as electronic tax bureau. Up to now, each pilot unit has distributed more than 500,000 tax UKey in a "non-contact" way to facilitate taxpayers to issue invoices.

The second is to optimize the law enforcement supervision mechanism.Explore new ways of flexible supervision, establish a list of non-compulsory administrative measures, and implement non-compulsory administrative measures for matters that are obviously minor or have no obvious social harm and can achieve the purpose of administrative management by non-compulsory means. Up to now, the pilot units have identified 28 items that will not be enforced, which embodies the concept of "combining leniency with severity" in tax law enforcement. Accurately implement tax supervision, and explore and promote the construction of a new tax supervision system based on "credit+risk". According to the tax credit status of business entities, the pilot units will implement classified management in matters such as invoice collection and tax cancellation, and in accordance with the principle of "encouraging trustworthiness and punishing dishonesty", so that trustworthy taxpayers can enjoy more convenience, and taxpayers with low credit ratings will be subject to key supervision and strict supervision.

The third is to promote data sharing.Try out the online inquiry and verification of the national travel tax payment information, so as to facilitate the insurance institutions in the pilot cities to inquire about the national travel tax payment, and facilitate the vehicles in different places to apply for insurance and pay taxes. At the same time, the tax bureaus of the pilot cities actively cooperate with the market supervision departments to expand the business scope of "one network to run" and implement the reform of "multi-reporting in one" in the annual report of enterprises, so as to make data "run more roads" and taxpayers "run less errands".

In the next step, we will improve the working mechanism of "promoting implementation, preventing risks, supervising and asking for efficiency, tracking and evaluating, and continuously optimizing", and guide the tax authorities of pilot cities to firmly grasp the opportunities for reform, focus on what taxpayers need and expect, increase the intensity of trying first and accumulate more innovative experience. At the same time, guide and urge the tax authorities in non-pilot areas to effectively do a good job in replication and promotion, so that innovative measures can achieve greater results nationwide and promote the overall continuous optimization and improvement of China’s tax business environment.

Thank you!

Xinhua News Agency reporter asked questions.

4. Xinhua News Agency reporter: Director Huang just talked about the "Belt and Road" tax collection and management capacity promotion alliance. Excuse me, what is the main work carried out by this alliance and how effective is it?

Meng Yuying, Director of State Taxation Administration of The People’s Republic of China International Taxation Department.

Meng Yuying:Thank you for your question. The "Belt and Road" tax collection and management cooperation mechanism (hereinafter referred to as the cooperation mechanism) is the first long-term multilateral tax cooperation mechanism initiated by China. The cooperation mechanism is based on the concerns of the tax authorities of the countries that jointly build the "Belt and Road", and is committed to strengthening the capacity building of tax collection and management and promoting the construction of a growth-friendly tax environment. At present, the number of members of the Council of the cooperation mechanism has increased to 36, and the number of observers has increased to 30. The "circle of friends" and its influence have continued to expand.

The "Belt and Road" Alliance for Promoting Tax Collection and Management Capacity (hereinafter referred to as the Alliance) is an important part of the cooperation mechanism and a multilateral institution responsible for carrying out capacity-building projects such as training, research and technical assistance. The President of the Alliance is responsible for coordinating and organizing the implementation of the Alliance’s work plan and training programs; There is an alliance office, which is responsible for coordinating the development of the "Belt and Road" tax college and other related work of the alliance, and co-located with the secretariat of the cooperation mechanism in Beijing. As a member of the Alliance, China State Taxation Administration of The People’s Republic of China, together with the tax authorities of 19 other members of the Alliance and 14 partners, has made great efforts to enhance tax exchange and cooperation among countries that have jointly built the Belt and Road Initiative, and promote the common improvement of tax collection and management capabilities.

Since the alliance was established more than three years ago, it has mainly done the following work:

The first is to carry out various forms of tax training.Carrying out tax training is the main starting point for the alliance to promote the common improvement of collection and management capabilities. Since the first training session was held in Yangzhou "One Belt, One Road" Taxation College in 2019, the Alliance has held more than 50 training sessions through online and offline training modes, and more than 3,000 tax officials from more than 100 countries (regions) have participated in the training, which has deepened tax cooperation and friendship among countries and won unanimous praise from students from all over the world.

The second is to build a "Belt and Road" tax college.At present, the Alliance has successively established five "Belt and Road" tax colleges in Yangzhou, China, Beijing, China, Macao, China, Astana, Kazakhstan and Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and established a network of multilingual training institutions radiating English, Chinese, Portuguese, Russian and Arabic. The alliance takes Yangzhou "Belt and Road" Taxation College as the main position, which drives Astana, Macao, China and other colleges to carry out various training activities to meet the development needs of different regions every year, and the role of the alliance training institution network is increasingly apparent.

The third is to form an international team of teachers.Tax experts are widely invited by the Alliance Office to join the first batch of expert teachers in the Alliance. These experts come from government finance and taxation departments, international organizations, academic circles and industries, and their offices are located in 13 countries (regions) on 5 continents. They have profound industry background, good professional quality and rich working experience, which fully embodies the requirements of specialization and internationalization. Experts in the field of taxation in China and officials from taxation departments also actively participated in the lectures.

The fourth is to promote the construction of the alliance curriculum system.Since the training in 2019, relying on the Yangzhou Belt and Road Taxation Institute, the Alliance has successively launched four online courses, namely, tax dispute resolution, digitalization of tax collection and management, tax service and value-added tax reform. On this basis, the Alliance Office has extensively absorbed opinions and suggestions from all parties, actively learned from the experience of other international organizations in carrying out professional training, and designed and completed version 1.0 of the Alliance curriculum system.

According to the development plan of the alliance, the alliance office will invite more international tax experts to join the team of alliance experts, further strengthen cooperation and exchanges based on the characteristics of the "Belt and Road" tax colleges, comprehensively develop knowledge products, share training resources such as teachers and courses, realize the alliance training with wider coverage, larger scale and richer content, promote the joint construction of the "Belt and Road" countries, and further enhance the international influence of the alliance.

China Daily reporter asked questions.

5. China Daily reporter: Director Meng just talked about the 1.0 version of the curriculum system of the "Belt and Road" tax collection and management capacity promotion alliance. Can you introduce this curriculum system in detail?

Meng Yuying:Thank you for your question. The Alliance Office will release version 1.0 of the Alliance Curriculum System in official website today. In order to continue to play the role of the alliance capacity-building platform, realize the common improvement of the tax collection and management capacity of the countries building the Belt and Road, and promote the standardization and systematization of alliance training, the alliance is practical, practical and effective-oriented, adheres to the scientific, systematic and inclusive design concept, closely follows the functional orientation of the tax department and the duties of tax personnel, and constantly summarizes practical experience to design and form the alliance curriculum system version 1.0, aiming at helping students understand tax rules and best through training.

The 1.0 version of the curriculum system includes 4 themes and 65 courses. The four themes are tax system, tax collection and digitalization, tax business environment and tax service, and tax cooperation. According to the principles of from shallow to deep, from easy to difficult, from simple to complex, alliance courses are divided into three levels: primary, intermediate and advanced. 90% of the courses will be launched before August this year, and all courses will be launched during the year.

The design of version 1.0 of the alliance curriculum system mainly has three characteristics:

First, insist on discussing, building and sharing.The Alliance Office fully communicates with the members of the cooperation mechanism, alliance members, partners and academic circles, and brainstorms ideas to jointly build an alliance curriculum system. Invite tax officials from relevant countries (regions), teachers from the "Belt and Road" tax institute and experts from international organizations to participate in the course design and teaching. The remarkable increase in the participation of all parties better reflects the multilateral characteristics of the alliance and will further promote mutual learning and learning.

The second is to adhere to demand orientation.The course not only covers the universally applicable contents such as tax system, tax collection and management, and tax service, but also takes into account the areas such as tax dispute settlement and business environment optimization that tax officials in countries building the "Belt and Road" together, and at the same time, appropriately integrates the frontier research hotspots in the international tax field such as the "two-pillar" scheme. Combined with the feedback from the questionnaire of the students in the pilot courses and the practical experience of training, these course designs can better meet the training needs of tax personnel in countries that jointly build the "Belt and Road".

The third is to adhere to dynamic, inclusive and open.The alliance curriculum system adopts the design idea of dynamic optimization, closely follows the development and changes of international rules, pays attention to the latest trends of international taxation, continuously updates and dynamically adjusts according to the actual needs and feedback from students’ questionnaires, aiming at the innovation of taxation theory and practice. At the same time, we will draw on and absorb opinions from all walks of life, welcome countries to share their best practices on the alliance platform, and continue to invite experts from all walks of life to participate in teaching, open to the world and constantly improve.

State Taxation Administration of The People’s Republic of China, China actively participated in the curriculum design of the Alliance, and introduced and shared the experiences and practices of China tax authorities. In the next step, according to the development plan of the Alliance, the Alliance Office will work with all participants and lecturers to promote courseware production and translation, video recording and online courses in an orderly manner, further optimize and improve the courses according to the actual situation, and make preparations for opening offline courses.

Thank you!

China Youth Daily reporter asked questions.

6. China Youth Daily reporter: We are concerned that in recent years, some criminals have carried out tax-related fraud through the Internet. Excuse me, how can taxpayers prevent this kind of fraud? What has the tax department done to crack down on online tax-related fraud?

Huang Yun:Thank you for your question. As you said, in recent years, some lawless elements have used the Internet and new media to conduct false guidance and even implement online tax-related fraud, extending the "black hand" to taxpayers.

According to the information we have collected, there are at least the following types of online tax-related fraud: some directly swindle taxpayers’ money to gain illegal benefits, some illegally defraud taxpayers’ information, especially personal privacy and business secrets, for "gray transactions", and some deliberately create panic to attract taxpayers to expand their business. From the point of view of means, criminals usually pretend to be tax officials in the form of text messages, telephone calls, internet or even direct visits, and use tax inspection, winning prizes and other excuses to induce taxpayers to transfer payments or provide relevant information; Others use video clips, online training and other means to distort and interpret tax policies and tax management, and deceive taxpayers in the name of helping solve tax-related problems to achieve their illegal profit.

Here, we give the taxpayers some tips to prevent fraud and fraud:The first is to raise awareness of prevention.In case of pretending to be a tax official to collect taxes and fees, promoting various "new policies" for tax refund or receiving unknown links and QR codes forged as tax-related information, we must be highly vigilant, refuse temptation, calmly identify, and never reveal privacy or make transfer payments.The second is to identify official channels.Carry out business handling and tax-related consultation through the official websites of the State Administration of Taxation and local tax authorities, service hotlines, electronic tax bureaus and other channels. Don’t trust unofficial information and channels, and beware of fraud induced by criminals.The third is to report and verify in time.In case of any relevant situation, please consult the 12366 service hotline or the competent tax authorities for further verification, or immediately call 110 and the national anti-fraud hotline 96110 for help.

The State Administration of Taxation attaches great importance to cracking down on online tax-related fraud, continues to carry out anti-fraud propaganda, and actively establishes and improves the linkage mechanism with public security departments to carry out governance. At the same time, the State Internet Information Office and the State Administration of Markets jointly issued the "On Regulating Tax-related Intermediary Services   The Notice on Promoting the Healthy Development of the Tax-related Intermediary Industry severely investigated and dealt with illegal acts such as false propaganda information and malicious tax planning by tax-related intermediaries, and publicly exposed a number of typical cases with bad nature.

In the next step, we will continue to intensify efforts to control tax-related fraud and public exposure, strengthen the crackdown and strengthen the shock, and fully protect the national tax interests and the legitimate rights and interests of taxpayers.

Thank you!

Huang Yun:Because of the time, the question-and-answer session ends here. In the next step, the national tax system will continue to follow the guidance of Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought of the Supreme Leader in the New Era, thoroughly implement the spirit of the 20th Party Congress, and continue to carry out the "Spring Breeze Action to Facilitate Taxes" in accordance with the decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, constantly optimize the tax business environment, actively promote high-quality development, fully serve the high-level opening up, give full play to and expand the basic, pillar and supportive role of tax revenue in national governance, and promote the overall improvement of economic operation and achieve effective upgrading and upgrading of quality.

Today’s press conference is over. Thank you again for your friends from the media.

With the increasing pursuit of "face value", the medical beauty service market is developing rapidly. In addition to the traditional double eyelid surgery (double eyelid plasty), more and more consumers choose to inject sodium hyaluronate (hyaluronic acid), collagen and botulinum toxin, or perform "micro-plastic surgery" such as rhinoplasty, chin augmentation, face-lifting, line carving and risorius injection.

However, many "beauty-seeking" consumers are not very clear about what medical beauty is and what items belong to it, so that they blindly believe in individuals who are not doctors and life beauty institutions that illegally carry out medical beauty, resulting in their own legitimate rights and interests being infringed.

First of all, let’s recognize the difference between medical beauty and life beauty.

Medical beauty: the use of surgery, drugs, medical equipment and other traumatic or invasive medical techniques to repair and reshape the appearance and morphology of various parts of the human body.

Beauty of life: the act of providing consumers with non-invasive and non-invasive skin cleaning, skin care and cosmetic services by using techniques, equipment and products such as makeup and skin care.

Unqualified, cheating customers

Without obtaining the Practice License of Medical Institution, the employees have not obtained the Practice Certificate of Physician and the Practice Certificate of Nurse of relevant majors, and have not been trained and qualified by Medical facial make-up.

Most of the illegal medical beauty salons are unqualified life beauty salons or personnel who use invasive methods to carry out freckle removal, wrinkle removal, breast enhancement, weight loss, etc., and their behavior belongs to illegal medical practice. Due to the lack of relevant qualifications and technical and sanitary conditions for medical beauty, it is easy to cause physical damage to consumers.

Exceeding the scope of practice, illegal operation

Although some medical beauty institutions have obtained the Practice License of Medical Institutions, they carry out medical services outside the approved subjects or medical beauty projects outside the record.

According to the technical difficulties and possible medical risks of medical cosmetic projects, the national health administrative department has formulated the Catalogue of Classified Management of Medical Cosmetic Projects, which classifies and manages medical cosmetic projects. Different types and levels of medical cosmetic surgery can only be carried out in medical institutions with corresponding qualifications.

Do not sign the contract, do not tell.

Some medical and beauty institutions do not actively inform customers of indications, contraindications, medical risks and precautions before surgery, do not obtain the signature consent of the patient or guardian, do not sign a medical and beauty surgery contract, or do not specify their respective rights and obligations involved in the contract. When the surgery fails, it is difficult for consumers to defend their rights.

Measures for the administration of medical beauty services

(Order No.19 of the Ministry of Health was issued on January 22, 2002. The first revision was based on the Notice of the Ministry of Health on Amending Article 2 of the Measures for the Administration of Medical Beauty Services on February 13, 2009 (Wei Yi Zheng Fa [2009] No.17).

　　Xu Peng correspondent Chang Yongzhen recently learned from Zaozhuang Public Security Bureau of Shandong Province that after three months of careful layout, Xuecheng Public Security Bureau destroyed criminal gangs that set up casinos in Shandong, Jiangsu, Anhui and other places, arrested 278 suspects including Zhou, destroyed 404 dens and seized 380 gambling machines, involving more than 20 million yuan. To this end, the Ministry of Public Security specially sent a congratulatory message to congratulate the bureau on successfully detecting the case of "6 19" opening a casino.

　　The time goes back to April 28th, 2018. During the daily public security management, the police of Tao Zhuang Police Station of Xuecheng Branch found that someone in a supermarket in this town used gambling machines to gamble. The police immediately inspected the supermarket and seized four gambling machines on the spot. Then the police summoned the supermarket owner Cao to the police station for investigation. During the inquiry, the keen police found that Cao was unclear about the basic situation of machine maintenance and the amount of gambling funds, and suspected that the case was otherwise hidden.

　　On May 12th, Xuecheng Branch continued to investigate Cao’s suspicion of opening a casino as a criminal case. With the unremitting efforts of the police, Cao confessed the basic facts of the case. Since April 2017, he and others have placed gambling machines and fishing machines in supermarkets operated by individuals for others to gamble, involving more than 30,000 yuan. At the same time, Cao confessed that the gambling machine in his store was placed by Anhui people, and Anhui people would regularly collect gambling money and maintain the gambling machine.

　　After investigation, Cao was an Anhui native who set up gambling outlets in many provinces. According to the idea of "information flow looking for clues, capital flow looking for evidence", the task force started with the bills involved and the flow of funds, made full use of big data resources such as public security cloud and police thousand degrees, and with the technical support of relevant business departments of Zaozhuang Public Security Bureau, strengthened in-depth analysis and judgment on the information of criminal suspects’ social activities, information communication, etc., and made comprehensive analysis of public security big data, screening and tracking at different levels, and carefully combed the network and organizational structure of the criminal gang.

　　After preliminary investigation, it was determined that the leader of the gang was Zhou Mougan, a native of Huaibei, Anhui Province, and Zhou Moushuai and Chen Mou Dong were its backbone forces. The crimes were committed in ten leeway cities such as Anhui, Shandong and Jiangsu provinces.

　　On the basis of fully grasping the suspect’s foothold, on July 17, more than 30 police officers of the task force went to Huaibei City to carry out the network-closing operation, and arrested 10 gang members such as the suspect Zhou Mogan. Shortly thereafter, the 10 action teams of the task force rushed to Yicheng, Shizhong, Shanting, Tengzhou and other districts and cities in Zaozhuang City, Suzhou City in Anhui Province, Xuzhou City in Jiangsu Province, Linyi, Jining, Heze and other surrounding cities in our province, respectively, and concentrated on the key targets that were sorted out in advance, and arrested 22 suspects.

　　On August 8, 2018, in accordance with the unified deployment of the "broken chain" action of the Ministry of Public Security, the area involved in the case carried out a centralized sweeping operation, and 38 gambling machines of various types were seized, 5 people were detained in criminal detention, 1 person was released on bail pending trial, and 7 people were administratively punished. At present, the case has arrested 278 suspects, destroyed 404 dens and seized 380 gambling machines.

　　Because the case spans many provinces and cities, involving many people, it is very difficult to investigate the case, and the Ministry of Public Security, provincial offices and municipal bureaus have given strong support in technical strength, regional coordination, judgment and analysis. Due to the seriousness of the case, Xuecheng Branch established a task force with Sun Hongwei, deputy head of Xuecheng District Government and director of the branch, as the commander, and the main responsible comrades of various police types as members. More than 130 police officers and auxiliary police officers were deployed to participate in the investigation of the project. All police types and departments firmly established the idea of "playing a game of chess", fighting joint warfare, synthetic warfare and regional coordinated warfare, and formed a concerted effort to tackle the problem.

　　Cctv newsOn August 16th, CCTV’s "International Sharp Review" broadcast an article entitled "Global investors and traders, welcome to take the" express train "developed by China", which was reprinted by many overseas media.

　　From 16 to 18 August, Russian Siberian News Network, European Times German Network, German-Chinese Report website, French LCF Radio facebook account, Spanish Radio International website, Italian Radio We website (facebook, twitter), Turkish Economic Observation Network, Albanian National Radio and Television website, Czech Today Information Network, Kazakhstan Industrial News website, Facebook account of Tanzania Africa Media Group, facebook account of Jordan Global Radio, Chinese PT Portal, Chinese Headline APP, Portuguese New Newspaper APP(facebook, twitter), Nordic Times website, Europe-China United Times website, European Union Chinese website, Africa Times website, West Africa online website, Japanese Chinese business website, Greek China website and many other overseas media have forwarded them one after another. From August 17th to 18th, this article was also published in Hong Kong Ta Kung Pao, Hong Kong wenhui network and Hong Kong Business Daily. The main reports are as follows:

　　China recently released economic data for July, showing that the total import and export volume reached 2,602.8 billion yuan, up 12.5% year-on-year, and the growth rate was 8.2 percentage points higher than that of last month. Among them, exports were 1,389.9 billion yuan, up 6.0%, 3.0 percentage points faster than last month; Imports reached 1,212.9 billion yuan, up 20.9%, 14.9 percentage points faster than last month. Import and export balance, the trade surplus of 177 billion yuan, 83.9 billion yuan narrower than last month.

　　China’s import and export growth accelerated in July, and its trade surplus narrowed, indicating that China’s measures to open wider to the outside world are releasing more dividends. As the Supreme Leader of president, China said at the 2017 annual meeting of the World Economic Forum, China’s development is an opportunity for the world, and Chinese will not commit "red eye disease". People from all countries are welcome to take the "express train" and "free ride" developed by China. Since the Chairman of the Supreme Leader announced a new round of opening-up measures at the 2018 annual meeting of Boao Forum for Asia in April this year, various measures have been intensively implemented and the commitments to opening up have been fulfilled one by one. In the second half of the year, China will also bring two major benefits to the world: First, the "Huluntong" will be opened during the year to further open the capital market; Second, the first China International Import Expo will be held in Shanghai to provide a larger market and trading platform for global trading partners and create new market demand.

　　Look at Huluntong first. It refers to the interconnection between Shanghai Stock Exchange and London Stock Exchange. Previously, China had launched Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect and Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect in 2014 and 2016 respectively, which enhanced the margin financing and securities lending capacity of the securities market between Hong Kong and mainland enterprises. "Huluntong" is the first step to connect the world’s largest emerging market with the oldest international mature market, which will not only make China’s securities market more international and legal, but also provide greater opportunities for British enterprises to deeply participate in China’s capital market. International investors can get more convenient financial support through "Huluntong" and increase opportunities for third-party market cooperation. In a recent meeting with British Foreign Secretary Hunt, China Prime Minister Li Keqiang stressed that the two sides should take the opening of the "Shanghai-Luntong" project this year as an opportunity to actively cultivate new growth points for cooperation and achieve mutual benefit and win-win results.

　　Undoubtedly, "Huluntong" will become a new footnote for the opening of China’s capital market. Prior to this, the first futures product opened to the outside world from China — — Crude oil futures are listed on the Shanghai Futures Exchange, and the A shares are included in the morgan stanley capital international Emerging Markets Index; From allowing foreign investors to hold 51% shares in joint-venture securities companies and fund companies for the first time to further liberalizing the scope of foreign investors’ participation in A-share trading, a series of opening-up actions in China’s capital market have attracted increasing foreign capital inflows.

　　According to the data of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange of China, the cross-border capital inflow of foreign securities investment in China in the first half of the year has tripled year-on-year. According to the statistics of China Securities Regulatory Commission, from January to July 2018, the accumulated net inflow of overseas funds into the A-share market was 161.6 billion yuan. Despite the intensification of global trade friction in June and July, the net inflow of overseas funds into the A-share market still reached 49.8 billion yuan. Recently, morgan stanley capital international Company released the index evaluation report for August 2018, and decided to increase the inclusion factor of the existing A shares from 2.5% to 5%, which will account for 0.75% of the morgan stanley capital international emerging market index.

　　In capital market, confidence is more important than gold. The increasing inflow of foreign capital shows the confidence in China’s economic development. In fact, foreign investors have been waiting for China’s huge financial market and profit margin for a long time. Once the "Huluntong" is opened this year, they will undoubtedly share a bigger "cake".

　　At the same time, as China’s global trading partners, they will also get more dividends from the first China International Import Expo held in Shanghai in November. As the world’s first national-level exposition with the theme of import, its role in promoting today’s world trade cooperation is unquestionable. At present, more than 2,800 enterprises from more than 130 countries and regions have registered to participate in the exhibition, and it is estimated that there will be 150,000 buyers worldwide. It is reported that more than 30 overseas enterprises have signed up in advance to participate in the second China International Import Expo next year.

　　Keen exhibitors have seen that Chinese’s demand for a better quality of life and high-quality economic development is becoming a new kinetic energy for the growth of the global consumer market and a new space for enterprises from all over the world to create wealth. It is estimated that from 2017 to 2022, China will import 8 trillion US dollars of goods and absorb 600 billion US dollars of foreign investment, with a total foreign investment of 750 billion US dollars and 700 million outbound tourists. At a time when global trade and investment are blocked by protectionism and unilateralism, the above-mentioned good news from China is undoubtedly a great boost to the confidence of enterprises in various countries. According to the annual white paper "American Enterprises in China" released by American Chamber of Commerce in China at the end of May, nearly 60% of the interviewed enterprises listed China as one of the top three investment destinations in the world, one third of the members planned to expand their investment in China by more than 10%, and 46% of the respondents expressed confidence that the China government would further open its market to foreign investment in the next three years, which was higher than 34% in the same period last year.

　　Looking around the world, China not only has a huge market with a population of nearly 1.4 billion, but also has the determination and actions to support trade liberalization and investment facilitation. I am afraid it is difficult for investors and traders from all over the world to find a bigger market and more opportunities than China. Now, what they need to do is to seize the opportunity and board the "express train" of China as soon as possible.

The 13th Five-year Plan for Energy Saving and Carbon Reduction in Guangzhou
(2016-2020)
Catalogue

The "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period is a crucial period for Guangzhou to implement the national "four comprehensive" strategic layout and the "five in one" overall layout, consolidate and enhance its status as a national central city, and lead the province to achieve the goal of "three orientations and two firsts". It is also an important stage for building a low-carbon city in an all-round way and striving to achieve the peak of total carbon emissions. This plan is based on the National Climate Change Plan (2014-2020) and the Outline of the Thirteenth Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development in Guangzhou, and it is the action program for Guangzhou to promote energy conservation and carbon reduction and realize green and low-carbon development in the next five years.
　
Chapter I Development Status and Facing Situation
　
Since the Twelfth Five-Year Plan,In accordance with the requirements of the state and province, Guangzhou regards promoting energy conservation and carbon reduction as an important starting point to promote scientific development, actively explores new fields and mechanisms of energy conservation and carbon reduction, and pays special attention to energy conservation and carbon reduction in industries, construction, transportation, public institutions and other fields, and has achieved remarkable results.
　
Section 1 Development Status
　
During the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" period, Guangzhou supported an average annual GDP growth rate of 10.1% with an average annual energy consumption growth rate of 3.6%, and the dependence of economic growth on energy consumption gradually decreased. In 2015, the energy consumption per unit GDP (regional GDP) in Guangzhou decreased by 21.01% compared with that in 2010, exceeding the tasks assigned by the province. The energy consumption per unit GDP is about 60% of the national average, which is lower than the average level of Guangdong Province and also lower than that of major cities such as Beijing and Shanghai. In 2015, the city’s total energy consumption was 56.89 million tons of standard coal, and the carbon dioxide emission per unit GDP was about 0.67 tons, down 30.7% from 2010. The main driving force for the decline of carbon emission intensity comes from the improvement of energy efficiency and the sharp decline in the proportion of coal consumption.
First, the management system and mechanism of energy conservation and carbon reduction have been continuously improved
Guangzhou has built a relatively complete energy-saving management and service system. Set up a leading group for energy conservation, emission reduction and low-carbon economic development in Guangzhou to promote energy conservation, emission reduction and low-carbon development in the city as a whole. Establish an energy-saving target responsibility system to promote energy-saving work by district governments and key energy-using enterprises. Strengthen planning guidance and policy support,A series of policy documents have been issued, such as Guiding Opinions on Vigorously Developing Low-carbon Economy, Implementation Plan for Pilot Work of Low-carbon Cities in Guangzhou, and Work Plan for Energy Conservation and Emission Reduction in the Twelfth Five-Year Plan of Guangzhou. Intensify the pilot construction, and it has been listed as "national low-carbon city pilot", "national renewable resource recycling system pilot city", "national low-carbon transportation system pilot city", "national kitchen waste resource utilization and harmless treatment pilot city" and "creating a national circular economy demonstration city". Establish and improve the energy-saving evaluation system for fixed assets investment projects, strictly limit the development of energy-intensive industries, and actively promote advanced energy-saving technologies. Set up special funds for energy conservation to support energy-saving transformation and clean production in industry, construction, transportation, public institutions and other fields, and the city’s strategic emerging industries development funds are used to support the development of six emerging industries, including new energy and energy-saving and environmental protection industries. Guangzhou Carbon Emissions Exchange was established and became an important carbon trading platform in China. Guangzhou Energy Conservation Supervision Center was established to strengthen energy conservation supervision and law enforcement.
Second, the structure has achieved remarkable results in energy saving and carbon reduction
The industrial structure has been continuously optimized, and the tertiary industrial structure has been adjusted from 1.75∶37.24∶61.01 in 2010 to 1.25 ∶ 31.64 ∶ 67.11 in 2015. The advanced manufacturing industry has developed rapidly. In 2015, the added value of strategic emerging industries accounted for more than 10% of GDP, and the output value of high-tech products accounted for 45% of industry. Intensify the elimination of backward production capacity, "Twelfth Five-Year Plan"During this period, a total of 117,000 kilowatts of small thermal power, 240,000 tons of coke, 5,000 tons of paper, 300,000 tons of cement, 10.755 million weight boxes of flat glass, 122.81 million meters of printing and dyeing, 1.09 million standard sheets of tanning, and 69,120 kva of lead batteries were eliminated, and 314 industrial enterprises with high energy consumption and high pollution were closed and relocated in the urban area. Vigorously promote the adjustment and optimization of energy structure, complete the rectification of 1,298 highly polluting fuel boilers, and the proportion of coal consumption in total energy consumption decreased from 32.4% in 2010 to 19.8% in 2015. 7,943.76 kilometers of natural gas pipeline network has been built, and the gasification rate of gas has reached 99.7%. The total consumption of natural gas in the city has exceeded 2 billion cubic meters. The total scale of distributed photovoltaic power generation project is 150 MW, and the installation area of solar collector plate exceeds 400,000 square meters.
Third, the effect of energy saving and carbon reduction in key areas has been continuously enhanced.
Industrial energy saving. In 2015, the energy consumption per unit of industrial added value decreased by 39.2% compared with 2010, and the energy efficiency improved significantly. Implement the "Energy Saving Action of 100 Key Energy-consuming Enterprises" and organize enterprises to carry out energy auditing and energy-saving planning. During the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" period, 100 key industrial enterprises in the city realized energy saving of about 2 million tons of standard coal. Actively create a national circular economy demonstration city, promote 22 industrial parks to complete the preparation of circular transformation schemes, and complete the on-site acceptance of 28 provincial circular economy pilot units. Guangzhou Economic and Technological Development Zone successfully declared itself as a pilot unit for circular transformation of national parks, and formulated the Guidelines for the Field Assessment of Cleaner Production in Guangzhou.
Building energy saving.New buildings fully implement mandatory standards for energy conservation. Guangzhou Green Building and Building Energy Conservation Management Regulations and Guangzhou Green Building Action Implementation Plan were issued. During the Twelfth Five-Year Plan period, 176 green building evaluation and identification projects were obtained, with a construction area of about 17.46 million square meters. The demonstration area of energy-saving renovation of existing buildings is about 4.99 million square meters, the building area of promoting solar photothermal application is about 3.1546 million square meters, the area of using solar photothermal panels is about 88.3 million square meters, and the installed capacity of promoting solar photovoltaic building application is 2.035 MW. Organize the implementation of energy audits of 101 public buildings and monitor their energy consumption data in real time. Won the title of "Top Ten Green Building Benchmark Cities" and "Top Ten Building Energy Efficiency Pioneer Cities" in China.
Traffic energy saving. Approved as a pilot city for the construction of national low-carbon transportation system. Vigorously develop public transport with high carrying capacity and implement intensive public transport mode. The subway is open to traffic for 266 kilometers, with an average daily passenger volume of 6.59 million passengers. The proportion of subway bus sharing is 40%, and urban public transport trips account for 60% of motorized trips. As a national pilot city for demonstration and promotion of energy-saving and new energy vehicles, Guangzhou has promoted 14,600 new energy vehicles by the end of 2015. Implement the national V emission standard for motor vehicles ahead of schedule, and comprehensively promote the use of national V standard vehicle fuel. Strictly implement the restrictions on yellow-label vehicles and eliminate a total of 180,000 yellow-label vehicles; Implement the regulation of the total number of small and medium-sized buses to curb the growth of the number of private cars.
Energy conservation in public institutions. Strengthen the energy-saving management of public institutions,Establish a statistical system for resource and energy consumption of public institutions, and promote paperless office and government energy-saving procurement. Carry out the diagnosis and analysis of energy consumption of public institutions, formulate and implement the Three-year Action Plan for Building Green Public Institutions in Guangzhou, and vigorously promote the demonstration of energy-saving transformation and the creation of conservation-oriented public institutions. Formulate and issue the Measures for the Management of Contract Energy for Public Institutions in Guangzhou, standardize and improve the operating procedures of contract energy management projects for public institutions, and encourage the energy-saving transformation of public institutions through contract energy management mode.
Fourth, the level of low-carbon utilization of waste resources has been continuously improved
We will comprehensively promote waste classification and treatment, realize the reengineering of waste classification and treatment process of "source reduction, classified delivery, classified collection, classified transportation, classified disposal and whole process supervision", and successfully create the first batch of domestic waste classification demonstration cities in China. Promote the docking of garbage sorting and resource recycling. We will work out the guidance catalogue and industry development plan for recycling renewable resources, strengthen the construction of recycling sorting centers and recycling transfer stations, and achieve 100% coverage of urban and rural recycling network services. A resource thermal power plant, a sanitary landfill and a kitchen waste treatment plant will be built, which will be included in the third batch of national pilot projects for resource utilization and harmless treatment of kitchen waste.

Section 2 Facing the Situation
　
The 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposed that we must adhere to the basic national policy of conserving resources and protecting the environment, and strive to promote green development, circular development and low-carbon development.Form a spatial pattern, industrial structure, production mode and lifestyle that saves resources and protects the environment. The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council issued the Opinions on Accelerating the Construction of Ecological Civilization, and the construction of ecological civilization has become a national strategy. Innovation, coordination, green, openness and sharing have become the five development concepts leading the country’s future development, bringing important development opportunities for Guangzhou’s "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" energy conservation and carbon reduction work.
Coping with climate change has become one of the major issues of global concern. As an important starting point to deal with improving the environment and climate change, energy saving and carbon reduction has become the core task to achieve sustainable development. In April, 2016, China officially signed the Paris Agreement, and it is planned that carbon dioxide emissions will peak around 2030, and efforts will be made to reach the peak as soon as possible. As a national central city and a national pilot low-carbon city, Guangzhou strives to achieve the peak of total carbon emissions first, and it is urgent to explore the path of gradual decline of total carbon emissions while maintaining economic and social development. Although the work of energy conservation and carbon reduction in Guangzhou has laid a good foundation and achieved remarkable results, there are still many challenges to continuously promote energy conservation and carbon reduction.
First, the awareness of energy conservation and carbon reduction needs to be improved. Governments at all levels and relevant departments do not have a unified understanding of the important role of energy saving and carbon reduction in transforming economic development mode and realizing sustainable development strategy, and the relationship between economic growth and low-carbon development has not been organically combined. The concept of focusing on environmental protection in the later stage and neglecting energy conservation and emission reduction at the source is still widespread, and the basic and leading role of energy conservation and carbon reduction in environmental protection and ecological construction has not been effectively played.The whole society has not yet formed a green and low-carbon consciousness and lifestyle to save resources and protect the environment.
Second, the green low-carbon market needs to be cultivated urgently. Energy conservation and carbon reduction are still mainly promoted by government administrative means, and the market has failed to play a major role in energy conservation and carbon reduction. The investment and financing channels in the green and low-carbon market are not smooth, which fails to provide financial guarantee for the development of related industries. The scale of energy-saving and low-carbon enterprises is generally small, the industrial concentration is low, and the technical development ability is insufficient. The leading role of leading backbone enterprises needs to be further improved. The development of new service industries such as energy-saving and low-carbon consulting, evaluation, auditing and technical services is lagging behind.
Third, the coverage of energy-saving work needs to be expanded. Energy-saving work relies too much on industrial structure adjustment and industrial energy saving. At present, the tertiary industry and living energy consumption have exceeded 50% of the total energy consumption in the city, and it continues to rise with the improvement of living and consumption level. Energy conservation and carbon reduction work should gradually realize the transformation from focusing on industry and major projects to multi-fields and the whole society from point to area.
Fourth, the measurement and statistics work needs to be strengthened. Energy measuring instruments in some industries are not fully equipped, and the online monitoring and management system of energy consumption has not been widely covered. The statistical system of energy consumption is relatively backward, and the monitoring and statistical system of carbon dioxide emission has not yet been established, which affects the analysis of energy consumption and carbon emission situation and the development of energy conservation and carbon reduction.
　
Chapter II Guiding Ideology and Planning Objectives
　
The first section guiding ideology
　
Guided by Deng Xiaoping Theory, Theory of Three Represents and Scientific Outlook on Development,Conscientiously implement the spirit of the important speeches of the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th Plenary Sessions of the 18th Central Committee and the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader, vigorously promote the construction of ecological civilization, take accelerating the transformation of economic development mode as the main line, aim at improving energy utilization efficiency and reducing carbon dioxide emissions, lead economic and social development with the concept of green, recycling and low carbon, actively promote supply-side reform, and reasonably control the total energy consumption, energy consumption intensity and total carbon dioxide emissions. Accelerate the construction of an energy-saving and carbon-reducing system and mechanism with government guidance, enterprises as the main body, science and technology as the guide, market-driven and the participation of the whole society, and build a resource-saving and environment-friendly society in an all-round way.

The government procurement system not only regulates and saves financial expenditure, but also undertakes more policy functions, which strongly supports the development of various national undertakings.

-Improve the efficiency in the use of government procurement funds for public services and safeguard social public interests.

"Government purchasing services" is a major innovation in the way government services are provided in recent years-from the services required by the government to public services, from the initial sanitation cleaning services to public legal services, public cultural services, public sports services, medical and health services, education services, disabled services, old-age services, youth services and other fields.

On January 3, 2020, the Ministry of Finance promulgated the Measures for the Administration of Government Procurement of Services, which regulated the subjects, undertakers and contents of purchases. "In the future, public services in the field of people’s livelihood will be more provided by the market, and the government will choose to undertake the main link and apply the relevant policies and regulations on government procurement, which will enhance the cost performance of the purchased services and safeguard national interests and social public interests." Yang Zhiyong, vice president of the Institute of Finance and Economics of China Academy of Social Sciences, said.

-purchasing agricultural products from poverty-stricken areas to help fight poverty.

At present, "poverty-relief commodities" from 22 provinces and 832 poverty-stricken counties in China are being purchased in batches by budget purchasing units on the "online sales platform for agricultural and sideline products in poverty-stricken areas" built by the Ministry of Finance and the National Supply and Marketing Federation. As of December 27th, 2020, this government procurement e-commerce platform, referred to as "832 platform", has put more than 90,000 items on the shelves, with a total turnover of 8 billion yuan.

"Integrating government procurement policies into the fight against poverty will help the poor to increase their income and get rid of poverty, and promote the stable poverty alleviation of the poor and the sustainable development of industries in poverty-stricken areas." Shen Xuefeng, a researcher at the China Academy of Fiscal Science, said.

-expanding the scope of green procurement and giving play to the demonstration effect of environmental protection.

"Coal to electricity projects, urban black and odorous water treatment, water source protection, soil pollution prevention and control projects, mainly by government procurement. In addition, the use of energy-saving and environmentally-friendly products by government procurement has a significant leading demonstration effect on the formation of energy-saving and emission-reducing and green consumption habits in the whole society. " Yang Zhiyong said.

The data shows that in the "bill" of national government procurement in 2019, the national compulsory and priority procurement of energy-saving and water-saving products was 63.37 billion yuan, accounting for 90% of the procurement scale of similar products, and the national priority procurement of environmental protection products was 71.87 billion yuan, accounting for 88% of the procurement scale of similar products.

-expand the share of procurement contracts for small and medium-sized enterprises and support the realization of national macro-control objectives.

As early as 2011, the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the Interim Measures for Government Procurement to Promote the Development of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises, which expanded the share of small and medium-sized enterprises in government procurement contracts through measures such as reserving shares and evaluating preferential treatment. In 2019, the contract amount awarded to small and medium-sized enterprises by national government procurement was 2,451.91 billion yuan, accounting for 74.1% of the national government procurement scale. The new policy at the end of 2020 will further expand the share of government procurement for small and medium-sized enterprises, which will more strongly support the development of such enterprises.

Improve the standardization and transparency of procurement, and promote the openness of government affairs by "understanding accounts"

In July, 2020, with the supplier successfully completing the online decryption of bidding documents in the remote bid opening hall of "Zhengcaiyun" platform of Guangxi Government Procurement Center, the property service procurement project of Guangxi Public Resource Trading Center entered the bid opening procedure.

"Opening bids without meeting" lightens the burden of bidding enterprises, is conducive to epidemic prevention and control, and also improves the procurement efficiency, which is the latest achievement of "internet plus government procurement" reform. Online operation in the whole process of bid opening and evaluation, leaving traces step by step, and open and transparent online inquiry and response can effectively reduce corruption in the field of government procurement.

"Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the government procurement management system has been improved day by day, and the system of government procurement transactions with public bidding as the main procurement method has been continuously enriched, the’ internet plus government procurement’ has been steadily promoted, the construction of central and local electronic stores has been strengthened, the procurement efficiency has been improved, the regulations and practices that hinder fair competition in the field of government procurement have been comprehensively cleaned up, and the business environment for government procurement has been optimized." The relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Finance said.

In recent years, it is the top priority of government procurement management to establish the whole process information disclosure mechanism and carry out "transactions under the sun". In 2020, the Ministry of Finance made it clear that all procurement projects implemented by the central budget units should disclose their procurement intentions to the public in accordance with regulations, further improve the transparency of government procurement, ensure all market entities to participate in government procurement activities on an equal footing, and improve procurement performance.

In recent years, all localities have continuously improved the transparency of procurement, and achieved remarkable savings. For example, the government procurement center of the central state organs saved 3,150,650 yuan in procurement funds in the disabled elderly care service project of the China Red Cross Society Career Development Center, with a saving rate of 39.38%.

"Improving the government procurement policy not only saves financial funds, but also has a direct role in promoting budget performance management, promoting government affairs openness and curbing corruption." Yang Zhiyong said.

Accelerate the establishment of a modern government procurement system, expand the scale of procurement and improve procurement efficiency.

"China’s government procurement system has made gratifying achievements, but it is not mature enough to fully meet the requirements of the current national governance capacity and modernization of the governance system." Xu Hongcai, Vice Minister of Finance, believes that there are some problems in the current government procurement system, such as extensive management of procurement transaction system, poor policy transmission mechanism, and the performance level of procurement agencies and evaluation experts needs to be improved.

In Xu Hongcai’s view, these problems will lead to low procurement efficiency and satisfaction, and limit the implementation effect of procurement policies.

To this end, the relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Finance said that in order to solve the current problems in government procurement, relevant reform measures will be steadily promoted in accordance with the requirements of the "Deepening the Reform Plan of Government Procurement System" adopted by the Central Committee for Deep Reform.

For example, in view of the shortcomings of the current government procurement law in the implementation process, the government procurement laws and regulations are revised. For another example, based on the principle of "who purchases, who is responsible", establish and improve the purchaser’s responsibility mechanism for procurement results, improve the internal control management of purchasers, and improve the purchaser’s professional procurement ability.

"In addition, it is necessary to further improve the government procurement transaction mechanism and strengthen the government procurement policy function." The person in charge said that it is necessary to promote the realization of the procurement goal of "high quality and good price", and clarify the application of different competition scopes and different procurement methods in combination with different project demand characteristics, performance objectives and market supply and demand, so as to improve procurement efficiency and capital application efficiency. At the same time, efforts should be made to build a standard system of government procurement requirements and improve the implementation measures of government procurement policies.

"International government procurement generally accounts for about 15% of GDP, and in China it is less than 4%, and there is still great potential to be tapped." Yang Zhiyong said that the government procurement laws and regulations system should be further improved, and a more scientific government procurement system should be designed according to the requirements of incentive compatibility mechanism, so as to stimulate the enthusiasm of government purchasers and fully release the policy role of government procurement. "In the final analysis, it is still necessary to accelerate the establishment of a modern government procurement system that adapts to the characteristics of market transactions and stimulates the enthusiasm of all participants."

Since the reform and opening up, especially since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, with the sustained and stable economic development, China’s industrial chain supply chain has made great progress, its core competitiveness has been continuously enhanced, and its independent and controllable ability has been further enhanced. China’s position in the global industrial chain supply chain continues to climb, which provides strong support for accelerating the construction of a modern economic system and promoting high-quality development.

At the same time, however, the unbalanced development of China’s industrial chain supply chain is more prominent, and different industries have obvious differences in development speed, development stage and modernization level. In particular, the world has entered a new period of turbulence and change, the game between big countries has intensified, the suppression and containment from outside may escalate at any time, the risk of "chain sticking" and "chain breaking" has increased, and the trend of "decoupling" is looming, which brings great challenges to the reliability and security of China’s industrial chain supply chain. Therefore, we must adhere to the bottom line thinking, plan ahead, speed up the short board, strong and weak items, focus on improving the resilience and safety level of the industrial chain supply chain, and firmly grasp the development initiative in our own hands.

First, accelerate the realization of high-level scientific and technological self-reliance. Based on independent innovation, we should make good use of the remarkable institutional advantages of "a national chess game" to concentrate on doing great things, give play to the basic and strategic supporting role of education, science and technology and talents, take the national strategic demand as the guide, gather strength to carry out original and leading scientific and technological research, speed up the breakthrough and self-control of key core technologies, reduce the dependence on foreign technologies, break the situation that key core technologies are subject to people as soon as possible, and make the supply chain of industrial chain "complement, extend, consolidate and strengthen"

The second is to strengthen the construction of the industrial chain supply chain ecosystem. It is necessary to give play to the leading role of scientific and technological innovation, solve a number of "stuck-neck" problems as soon as possible, open up blocking points and solve difficulties, especially to fill in outstanding shortcomings such as basic software, core hardware and basic raw materials, accelerate the improvement of the modernization level of industrial chain supply chain, and realize independent control of industrial chain supply chain; Consolidate and enhance the international leading position of traditional advantageous industries, build a coordinated industrial chain supply chain system with high, medium and low end, and enhance the toughness of industrial chain supply chain; Actively promote the international cooperation of industrial chain supply chain, establish an industrial chain supply chain ecosystem with China’s industrial chain supply chain as the core and radiate many aspects, and continuously enhance the international influence of China’s industrial chain supply chain.

The third is to continuously stimulate the vitality of market players. To improve the resilience and safety level of the industrial chain supply chain, the market subject is the core. Promote a better combination of effective market and promising government, create a market-oriented, rule-based and international first-class business environment, boost the development confidence of market participants, enhance their expectations, give full play to the engine function and radiation-driven role of leading enterprises, promote the mutual support and coordinated development of industrial chain and supply chain, create a number of "specialized and innovative" enterprises, breed more new industries, new models and new formats, form more new growth poles and points, and create new advantages of industrial chain and supply chain.
