The Belt and Road Initiative opens a new model of benign interaction between China and the world.

  Author: Wang Haiyan, Deputy Director of saias Center for Central Asian Studies

  Since it was put forward in 2013, the Belt and Road Initiative has become the most popular global public product and the largest international cooperation platform in the world. "One Belt, One Road" concentrates on China’s wisdom, gathers strength for world development, opens a new model of benign interaction between China and the world, and makes the world economy more stable.

  "One Belt, One Road" innovates the global governance concept of benign interaction between China and the world.

  In just six years, the "Belt and Road Initiative" has gone through an incubation period and an early harvest stage, attracting more and more countries in the world to participate. From the China Initiative to the global consensus, it has achieved fruitful results that have attracted worldwide attention. At the second "One Belt, One Road" international cooperation summit forum, which ended in April, 40 heads of state, government and other leaders and heads of international organizations gathered together, and more than 6,000 foreign guests from 150 countries and 92 international organizations participated in the grand event. Governments, localities and enterprises of various countries reached a series of cooperation results, which were condensed into a list of forum results covering 6 categories and 283 items. At the 19th meeting of the Council of Heads of State of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization and the 5th Summit of the Conference on Interaction and Confidence Measures in Asia, which just ended in June, all parties reiterated their support for the Belt and Road Initiative.

  In the past six years, on the basis of the Silk Road security concept of ensuring common security, comprehensive security, cooperative security and sustainable security, the Belt and Road Initiative has adhered to the Silk Road spirit of peaceful cooperation, openness, tolerance, mutual learning and mutual benefit, and advocated a global governance concept of joint construction and sharing. Taking firm steps to build an open world economy with practical actions has outlined a new vision for building a more just and reasonable global governance system.

  Co-construction and sharing is the only way to promote the construction of the "Belt and Road". Through deepening cooperation, we will continuously strengthen the multilateral trading system based on the rules of the World Trade Organization, create transparent, predictable and stable conditions for economic, trade and investment cooperation, and oppose the fragmentation of international trade and any form of trade protectionism. Its essence is to practice multilateralism, emphasizing that everyone’s affairs should be discussed and handled, and each person should give full play to his strengths and do his best, so as to make a tower out of sand and little drops of water make an ocean. The most fundamental point is to seek common development through equal consultation, promote economic growth through constructive cooperation, promote the sharing of achievements through mutual benefit and win-win, meet the common interests of all parties, meet the common needs of all parties, make cooperation more intrinsic and sustainable, make the Belt and Road a common road of opportunity and prosperity, and make the global economy more high-quality, healthier, more promising and vibrant.

  Mechanism cooperation to build a platform for frequent exchanges between China and the world.

  The "One Belt, One Road" co-creation mechanism provides strong support and builds various channels for benign interaction and dialogue between China and the world.

  First of all, the summit forum is the highest-standard cooperation platform under the framework of "Belt and Road". At the summit forum, all parties involved jointly enrich the cooperation concept, jointly plan the cooperation priorities, form a number of agreements for joint cooperation, jointly create cooperation results, and clearly define the goals and blueprints for the high-quality development of "Belt and Road".

  Secondly, the bilateral and multilateral meeting mechanism between China and heads of state has played an important top-level design and substantive promotion role. In the past six years, the Chairman of the Supreme Leader has visited many countries in the world and received many heads of state to visit China, which has effectively promoted China and the countries participating in the Belt and Road Initiative to give full play to their strengths and benefit all parties.

  Finally, existing international organizations and regional organizations have played an important role in coordination and promotion. Various regional and sub-regional cooperation mechanisms and multilateral dialogue and cooperation platforms in many professional fields established and formed between China and different parts of the world have promoted the implementation of the Belt and Road Initiative. In the past six years, the "One Belt, One Road" initiative has been linked with the development and cooperation plans of international and regional organizations such as the United Nations, ASEAN, AU, EU and Eurasian Economic Union, and more than 150 countries and international organizations have signed a "One Belt, One Road" cooperation agreement with China. China also hosted the Silk Road International Expo and the East-West Cooperation, Investment and Trade Fair in China, China — ASEAN Expo, China — Asia-Europe Expo, China — Arab Expo, China — South Asia Expo, China — Large-scale exhibitions such as Northeast Asia Expo, China West International Expo and China International Import Expo have all become important platforms for China to discuss and cooperate with countries along the route.

  After six years of joint efforts, the international cooperation in building the "Belt and Road" has formed a basic framework led by the summit forum and supported by multi-bilateral cooperation in various fields, providing an effective mechanism guarantee for the long-term development of the "Belt and Road" construction. Building the "Belt and Road" not only provides new opportunities for the development of all countries in the world, but also opens up a new world for China’s open development, so that all countries can benefit from it and achieve common development and prosperity.

  Trade and investment cooperation promote the benign interactive economic development and people’s livelihood stability between China and other countries in the world.

  Trade and investment cooperation promote the sound development of China and the world economy, and safeguard the global free trade and multilateral trading system with practical actions.

  In the field of trade, from 2013 to 2018, the total import and export volume of goods trade between China and countries along the route exceeded US$ 6 trillion, with an average annual growth rate higher than that of China’s foreign trade in the same period, accounting for 27.4% of China’s total goods trade, which has become an important engine for stimulating world economic growth. The World Bank research team analyzed the trade impact of the "One Belt, One Road" initiative on 71 potential participating countries, and found that the "One Belt, One Road" initiative will increase the trade between participating countries by 4.1%.

  In the field of investment, according to statistics, from 2013 to 2018, China enterprises directly invested more than 90 billion US dollars in countries along the route, with an average annual growth rate of 5.2%. The turnover of foreign contracted projects completed in countries along the route exceeds 400 billion US dollars, and the direct investment in China by countries along the route also exceeds 40 billion US dollars. This ensures commercial and financial sustainability, solves the employment problem for thousands of local people, and achieves good results from the beginning to the end. China and the Belt and Road countries have jointly established 82 overseas cooperation parks, and paid more than 2 billion US dollars in taxes and fees to the host country, which has driven nearly 300,000 local jobs and brought more convenient living conditions, better business environment and more diversified development opportunities to people of all countries.

  In the field of promoting trade and investment liberalization and facilitation, China is committed to achieving high standards, benefiting people’s livelihood and sustainable goals together with countries participating in the "Belt and Road" construction, introducing rules and standards generally supported by all parties, respecting laws and regulations of various countries, and promoting enterprises to follow generally accepted international rules and standards in project construction, operation, procurement and bidding. China launched the Initiative to Promote Smooth Trade Cooperation along the Belt and Road, with 83 countries and international organizations actively participating. China and the countries participating in the Belt and Road Initiative have continuously deepened customs inspection and quarantine cooperation, signed more than 100 cooperation documents, achieved food quarantine access for more than 50 kinds of agricultural products, and actively promoted the construction of a "green channel" for rapid clearance of agricultural products with countries along the Belt and Road Initiative, such as Central Asia. In the past six years, China has strengthened cooperation with the countries participating in the Belt and Road Initiative in such functional fields as customs, inspection and quarantine, border inspection, taxation, standard connectivity, finance, etc., and has signed a number of national cooperation agreements in basic areas of quality and technology such as standards, metrology, certification and accreditation, which has greatly improved the level of trade and investment facilitation between China and the countries participating in the Belt and Road Initiative and promoted the smooth flow of logistics.

  China has further relaxed the field of foreign investment access, created a high-standard international business environment, set up 12 free trade pilot zones open to the world, and explored the construction of free trade ports to attract countries along the route to invest in China; The average tariff level of China has dropped from 15.3% when it joined the World Trade Organization to 7.5% at present, and the network system of free trade zones between China and countries along the route has gradually taken shape.

  Interconnection has become an effective carrier to promote the benign interaction between China and the world.

  Hard Unicom and Soft Unicom promote effective interaction between China and countries along the Belt and Road.

  In terms of hard connectivity, China and countries along the "Belt and Road" jointly promote the construction of high-quality, sustainable, risk-resistant, affordable and accessible infrastructure. In the past six years, with the joint efforts of all countries, the all-round, multi-level and composite infrastructure network with railways, highways, shipping, aviation, pipelines, optical fiber cables and logistics bases as the core is accelerating. A "six corridors, six roads, multi-countries and multi-ports" interconnection network is built, which is guided by six major economic corridors such as the new Eurasian Continental Bridge, with large passages such as the China-Europe train and the new land and sea passage and information superhighway as the skeleton, and relying on railways, ports and pipe networks.

  In terms of soft connectivity, China has taken a series of major new reform and opening-up measures according to the world situation and its national conditions, including expanding foreign capital market access in a wider range, strengthening international cooperation in intellectual property protection, increasing imports of goods and services on a larger scale, more effectively coordinating international macroeconomic policies, and paying more attention to the implementation of opening-up policies. To build a comprehensive spatial information network, China will continue to promote scientific and technological innovation, improve informatization and digitalization, promote cooperation in the information field, including electronic ports, and form a pattern of "great customs clearance, great logistics and great economy and trade"; Work together to build a complete industrial chain of e-commerce, jointly build the legal basis and working standards in this field, improve the service level, and jointly build an information integration platform. We will carry out in-depth humanities cooperation in education, science, culture, sports, tourism, health, archaeology and other fields, strengthen exchanges between parliaments, political parties, think tanks and non-governmental organizations, and close exchanges between women, youth, disabled people and other groups to form a multi-interactive humanities exchange pattern.

  The future "Belt and Road" construction will further strengthen the interconnection network system between China and the world, and realize the linkage development from point to face, from face to face, and from piece to piece. The interconnection network will greatly reduce the transaction costs of goods, capital, information and technology between regions, promote countries to give full play to their resource endowments, better integrate into global supply chains, industrial chains and value chains, improve the overall development level, effectively promote the orderly flow and optimal allocation of cross-regional resource elements, realize the smoother flow of goods, capital, technology and personnel, and provide more powerful impetus, more stable development and broader space for economic growth of all parties involved.

  "Rivers and seas do not choose small streams, so they can be deep." The "Belt and Road" advocated by China is in line with the trend of multi-polarization and economic globalization in the world, and interacts with all participants in the world to jointly promote the sustainable development of the world economy in a more open, inclusive, inclusive, balanced and win-win direction.

South Africa has mutated into Covid-19, and many countries have issued flight bans!

[Wan Yu, correspondent of Global Times in South Africa] The second wave of COVID-19 epidemic in South Africa is threatening. Due to the recent discovery of the mutated COVID-19 virus, many countries began to restrict flights from South Africa. As of the 23rd, eight countries, including Germany, Turkey, Israel and Switzerland, have announced the ban on South African flights.

According to the British "Guardian" reported on the 22nd, South Africa reported this new mutant virus for the first time on the 18th, and named it "501.V2". Regarding whether this new strain was formed in South Africa, South African Health Minister Mukez said that up to now, South African medical experts have not found out the source of the mutated virus. It was first discovered in eastern cape, South Africa, and then spread to the surrounding areas, but it is impossible to identify that the mutated virus originated in East Cape Province.

Mukez said that since the epidemic of new coronary pneumonia in South Africa in March, it has been caused by KwaZulu — The team led by natal province Research Innovation and Sequencing Platform has sequenced hundreds of virus samples, and they have noticed that in the past two months, a specific mutant virus has become more and more dominant. Karim, co-chairman of the South African Covid-19 Task Force, said that 80%-90% of the Covid-19 samples they have obtained are this variant. Clinical data show that more patients are young people without basic diseases, but they show more serious symptoms than those infected with Covid-19 before.

The WHO said on the 21st that although the varieties of Covid-19 discovered in South Africa appeared almost at the same time as those discovered in Britain, they were unrelated varieties and had nothing to do with each other.

The peak of the first round of epidemic in South Africa occurred in July and August, with nearly 14,000 new confirmed cases every day, and then gradually declined. In September, the number of new confirmed cases decreased to about 2,000, but it began to increase again in November, and more than 10,000 new confirmed cases were added in a single day on December 19th. According to medical experts, the second wave of COVID-19 epidemic in South Africa is related to the increased social gathering activities at the end of the year, which caused widespread community spread. After the second wave of epidemic broke out, the South African government strengthened the blockade of beaches, but it did not raise the national blockade level. In Johannesburg, the Global Times reporter saw that local restaurants and cafes were still open normally. In Cape Town, a tourist resort, local law enforcement agencies send a large number of personnel to patrol the beach, and those who go to the beach in violation of regulations will be fined heavily and may even be imprisoned.

According to the data released by the South African Ministry of Health on the 22nd, there were 9,501 new confirmed cases in COVID-19, with a total of 940,212 confirmed cases, 339 new deaths and 25,246 cumulative deaths. The South African government announced on the 22nd that it had paid a down payment of $19.2 million to the Global Alliance for Vaccine Immunization (GAVI) to ensure South Africa’s entry into the WHO COVID-19 Vaccine Implementation Plan.

S7 finals, they all come to make trouble? Malicious price increase, please explode in situ.

  CCTV News:This is the first time that China has hosted a global competition of popular e-sports, and it is also the first time that the China team has met the challenge from the "strongmen" of various countries at home with the attention of countless fans. Half a year ago, the news that S7 League of Legends Finals settled in China made non-e-sports fans boil. For more than a month, Wuhan, Guangzhou, Shanghai and Beijing have attracted the attention of e-sports enthusiasts all over the world.

  In this series, although the performance of the China team was not satisfactory, the fierce competitions made many fans around the world enjoy wonderful audio-visual feasts again and again. However, just before the China team finished the tournament, a discordant voice appeared in front of the fans: tickets for the S7 finals were hard to find, and the tickets in the hands of scalpers had been fried to 13,000 yuan.

  The sky-high tickets we experienced in those years

  As soon as the news came out, many fans expressed disappointment and dissatisfaction on the internet, and as the official online ticketing platform of the event, it became the target of public criticism and was pushed to the forefront of public opinion by netizens.

  In response to questions from netizens and fans, the platform published three articles in its official Weibo from October 25th to 27th, to the effect that "scalpers? It has nothing to do with us ","Can’t buy tickets online? Too many tickets have led to the system crash. Finally, I apologize to the netizens and fans through an article of less than 600 words.

  As for whether it is true or not, consumers naturally have a steelyard in their hearts, and Xiaobian is undecided. However, counting the sky-high ticket events we have experienced over the years, consumers are miserable.

  When the Korean group BIGBANG visited China in 2016, only a few lucky people were able to buy original tickets through normal channels, and most fans had to face the crazy rise of scalper tickets. At that time, someone laughed and said, just look at the seating area of BIGBANG tour tickets exposed in the circle of friends, and you can guess the degree of local tyrants of the other party.

  In July 2016, Jay Chou’s concert caused a storm before it started. At that time, tickets were snapped up within 15 minutes before the name of the performance was determined, but then fans whined that they couldn’t get tickets, and scalpers even took the opportunity to drive up the ticket price. A VIP with an original price of 2,000 yuan actually shouted to 10,800 yuan.

  In December, 2016, after a concert with the theme of "Faye Wong Fantasy Live 2016" was sold out, the ticket price of Faye Wong concert in the hands of scalpers rose all the way, from thousands to tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands to millions, which was staggering.

  … …

  E-sports events and cultural performances are all important parts of China’s cultural industry. As far as the attribute of cultural noumenon is concerned, whether it is "spring snow" or "Xialiba people", people are all born equal before culture. From the law of industry, the market segmentation of cultural consumption is understandable. But the existence of "scalpers" and "sky-high tickets" is not only a malicious consumption of culture itself, but also a provocation to the benign operation of the cultural market. Like a cancer, it is not only bad for the development of cultural industry, but also magnifies the audience’s strong sense of division and class.

  When can market supervision be implemented?

  Of course, there are some market reasons for the emergence of sky-high tickets, but at present, it is more caused by the imperfect development of the cultural industry market.

  According to statistics from institutions, in China, the average price of a ticket for a concert accounts for 17.24% of the per capita monthly GDP, compared with 1.81% in the United States, 3.11% in Japan and 2.87% in the United Kingdom. China concert ticket price is 7.5 times that of Europe and America. Compared with Hong Kong, mainland concert tickets will also be several times.

  The huge market share and unsound operation mode make some domestic unscrupulous merchants feel profitable, and the incidents that the primary and secondary ticket markets collude to carry out "hunger marketing" to get high profits are often reported in newspapers. In this regard, in July this year, the Ministry of Culture issued the Notice on Regulating the Operating Order of the Ticket Market for Commercial Performances.

  It is clear that:

  The performance organizer shall entrust a qualified performance ticketing business unit to sell the corresponding tickets in addition to its own performance ticketing; Internet platform enterprises shall not provide services for institutions and individuals to resell tickets, buy and sell performance tickets or give tickets. In other words, tickets for future performances must be sold through official agency platforms, such as Barley, Yongle and Xishi District.

  It is worth noting that the "Notice" requires performance organizers and ticketing business units to clearly mark the price, not to increase sales, and not to seize tickets, hoard tickets or speculate on tickets. The number of tickets for performances sold to the public in the market shall not be less than 70% of the audience approved by the public security department.

  In addition, the "Notice" also proposes to encourage all localities to explore the implementation of real-name system management for ticket sales of key commercial performances.

  However, as far as the current situation is concerned, the governance effect of the new regulations on "yellow cattle" is not ideal. Although the scalpers in the S7 finals are running at a loss, if the finals are "Chinese Derby", how many fans and netizens are cursing on the Internet because they can’t buy tickets?

  Some people may say that cultural consumption is the business of the rich. However, seeing that we are about to build a well-off society, do we have to worry about a small ticket for a literary performance?

Reform and opening up is a great self-revolution.

  Reform and opening up is a great and profound revolution. It is an economic revolution, an ideological revolution, a social revolution and a governance revolution. Reform and opening up has not only changed the object, but also reshaped the subject itself, so it is also a great self-revolution.

  Reform and opening up is the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s great self-revolution.The Communist Party of China (CPC) started with revolution, insisted on promoting social change and national construction with revolutionary attitude, and always displayed high revolutionary spirit. The Communist Party of China (CPC)’s revolutionary spirit is not only reflected in his courage to go through fire and water in the revolutionary era and his enthusiasm to change places in the construction period, but also in his persistence in his advanced nature and purity and his face-to-face solution to his own problems. This spirit of self-revolution is a remarkable sign that the Communist Party of China (CPC) is different from other political parties. The start of reform and opening-up was precisely implemented by the Communist Party of China (CPC) on the basis of in-depth review of left-leaning thoughts and dogmatism. In the process of reform and opening-up, the Party is always faced with various risks and challenges. However, the Communist Party of China (CPC) did not fall into a state of being afraid to fight and content with the status quo, but insisted on the courage to face up to problems and correct mistakes, and got rid of his illness again and again, making the party not only a long-term ruling party with excellent ability and high skill, but also a sustained revolutionary party with excellent politics and strong organization. Facts have proved that the reform and opening up not only promoted the overall progress of the country, but also realized the great social revolution; Moreover, it has made the party’s beliefs more firm, its thoughts more mature, its organization more powerful, and its style of work always excellent, thus realizing a great self-revolution. As General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out, the Communist Party of China (CPC) can lead the people to carry out great social revolution as well as great self-revolution.

  Reform and opening up is the great self-revolution of the Chinese nation.The great national spirit formed by the people of China in the long-term struggle has created a splendid Chinese civilization that has lasted for thousands of years and has become a powerful spiritual driving force for Chinese civilization. However, in modern times, influenced by many factors, the spiritual vitality of the Chinese nation was imprisoned, and the national self-confidence and spirit of struggle and creation were once severely weakened. It was the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s social revolution guided by Marxism that revived the great spirit of the Chinese nation. In particular, the new great revolution of reform and opening up has further profoundly changed the Chinese nation. Reform and opening up have made Marxism enter and influence Chinese’s spiritual world more deeply, and become the fundamental thinking method and action guide of the people of China. Reform and opening up have promoted the creative transformation and innovative development of Chinese civilization, made the most basic cultural genes adapt to contemporary culture and coordinate with modern society, and cultivated and formed a socialist core value system that embodies the traditional cultural spirit of the Chinese nation and has the characteristics of the new era. Reform and opening up have helped Chinese to establish modern values of openness, equality, enterprising and self-confidence, and the national self-confidence and cohesion have been significantly enhanced. The reform and opening up has enabled the Chinese nation to look at the major issues facing itself and the world more scientifically and rationally, and to bravely put forward ideas, propositions and plans for the world that reflect China’s position, China’s wisdom and China’s values. Practice has proved that the reform and opening-up has reshaped the Chinese nation from the depths of its soul and realized its great self-revolution.

  Reform and opening up is the great self-revolution of socialism.Since the October Revolution, world socialism has gone through a hundred years of burning passion, and the wave of red revolution has swept the world. However, due to the imprisonment of dogmatism and the erosion of western social thoughts, socialism once lost its vitality. China’s reform and opening up, through the discussion of truth standard, broke the dogmatic thinking of Marxism and regarded "seeking truth from facts" as the basic methodology of building and developing socialism again. In practice, China always adhered to the Four Cardinal Principles, actively absorbed the outstanding achievements of human civilization, and explored and formed the Socialism with Chinese characteristics. Socialism with Chinese characteristics has not only enabled the Chinese nation to modernize in an all-round way, but also enabled socialism to successfully open up a correct road with high reality and feasibility in the most populous country in the world, and it will glow with new vitality in the new century. In sharp contrast, the development of capitalism since the new century has hit its own "iron plate". The different development trends of socialism and capitalism since the new century show that capitalism has not only fallen into a "crisis of applicability", but also faced a "crisis of legitimacy"; The reform and opening-up has not only enabled China to take over the banner of socialist development, but also revitalized socialism, making it more attractive and attractive. Compared with capitalism, it has shown greater vitality and superiority, and the world development situation is changing.

  History has proved that reform and opening up, as a social and historical movement, is also a conscious social change activity. The social and historical development is endless. When the reform and opening up is not completed, it is the constant pursuit of the Communist Party of China (CPC), the Chinese nation and socialism to realize self-development and perfection. As Socialism with Chinese characteristics enters a new era, it is necessary for us to continue to promote the great social revolution, and it is even more necessary for us to always establish the spirit of being brave in self-revolution, forge ahead, constantly enhance our abilities of self-purification, self-improvement, self-innovation and self-improvement, embark on a new journey and open up a new situation.

Promoting the high-quality development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt "Yangtze River Train" was launched in Chengdu

  At 10: 00 on December 10th, the Yangtze River Intermodal Train from Chengdu, Sichuan Province to Jingzhou, Hubei Province was successfully launched at Chengxiang Central Station in qingbaijiang district, Chengdu, Sichuan Province.

  The train will arrive in Jingzhou, Hubei Province by railway, and then be distributed to Jiangsu, Shanghai and other places by Yangtze River water transport, and the transportation time will be changed from the original 15-mdash; 20 days is shortened to about 10 days.

  It is understood that the traffic volume of the Three Gorges Project on the Yangtze River has increased rapidly since it was put into operation for 20 years. According to the data, the traffic volume of the Three Gorges Project has reached the design limit of 160 million tons in 2022, and reached a record high in the first three quarters of 2023, reaching 127 million tons, up 10.02% year-on-year. The waiting time has increased from 17 hours in 2011 to 223 hours in 2022. The phenomenon of the Three Gorges Ship Lock waiting for the lock has become normal.

  Through the "Yangtze River Train" of hot metal combined transport, the load of the Three Gorges Project can be effectively reduced, the cargo transportation time can be greatly shortened, and the transportation capacity of the upstream and downstream cargo passages along the Yangtze River can be effectively enhanced.

  "Yangtze River Train" will realize normal two-way operation through pilot guidance, gradual expansion and orderly expansion. It is estimated that by 2030, the diversion of the navigation volume gap of more than 15 million tons of the Three Gorges Hub will be completed, accounting for about 30% of the total diversion transportation of the Three Gorges in the future, effectively lifting the constraints brought by the water transportation in Sichuan, Chongqing and the western region, and contributing to better service and integration into the domestic and international dual cycle.

    On the vast Songnen Plain in Northeast China, blue sky, grasslands and lakes set off towering drilling rigs and orange pumping units. This is the largest oil production base in China-Daqing Oilfield of China Petroleum.


    Anniversary, the name of the National Day, which was born of oil, is accompanied by the strong footsteps of the Republic’s development, such as rushing blood, injecting into a strong body and supporting the national petroleum strategic security.


    In the autumn season, the reporter once again came to Daqing to feel the elegance of the oil industry giants. While sharing the joy of oil people’s harvest, he was also encouraged by the more vivid Daqing red flag tempered by the wind and rain.


  "You can’t just grab the drill bit, not the head."


    The construction achievements of Daqing Oilfield have attracted worldwide attention, but it is not always smooth sailing behind its glory. Declining resources is the natural law of mining enterprises. After more than 40 years of development, the comprehensive water cut of the main oil fields in Daqing is as high as 90%, and the recovery rate of recoverable reserves in the oil fields is as high as 80%. In 2003, the output of crude oil was reduced to less than 50 million tons for the first time, which made Daqing people who have been pursuing stable and high production and have a strong sense of mission feel confused and confused, and caused various discussions and suspicions from outside: "How long can Daqing red flag last?" Will it be "oil exhausted"?


    How to add color to Daqing Red Flag? The party committee of the oilfield has deeply realized that development is the last word, but if people’s problems are not solved, development will lose its foundation. Zeng Yukang, deputy general manager of China Petroleum Group, director and party secretary of Daqing Petroleum Administration Bureau, said: "Development needs to unite people’s hearts, and we must never only grasp the drill bit, but not the head."


    The scene of reading "Two Theories" by the bonfire of Iron Man Wang Jinxi is fixed in people’s memory. In the new era, Party committees at all levels in oil fields insist on studying theory and arm cadres and workers with the latest achievements of Marxism in China. Training courses, academic lecture halls and online training colleges are widely held, and the combination of learning and application is promoted through the mechanism of telling, evaluating and examining, so as to apply what has been learned.


    Under the guidance of theory, Daqing Oilfield applies scientific development and harmonious development to oilfield planning and production practice, establishes the development strategy of "creating a century-old oilfield and doing a good job in secondary entrepreneurship", and defines the phased goals: by 2010, the oil-gas equivalent will remain at 42 million tons; Realize "domestic first, international first-class"; An important petroleum equipment manufacturing base in China has been built, with business income reaching 10 billion yuan.


    Wang Yupu, chairman and general manager of anniversary Oilfield Co., Ltd. said: "According to this strategy, anniversary will contribute more than 60 million tons of oil and gas equivalent to the country in the next 15 years." The bright future has become a powerful spiritual motivation. In view of the doubts and confusions caused by the production reduction, the oilfield concentrated on six months to carry out a big discussion on "emancipating the mind and planning for development", guiding employees to find opportunities in challenges and potentials in difficulties, and actively participating in the practice of "a century-old oilfield, starting a second business".


    Daqing Oilfield is distributed in 6000 square kilometers of land, with more than 5000 grass-roots stations. The oil field extends the "tentacles" of ideological and political work to the most basic level. Through the party branch of each basic unit, it can keep abreast of the ideological trends of employees, understand the needs of the masses, and solve practical problems and difficulties in production and life. In the oil field, many party member, who terminated the labor contract with compensation, regarded it as a major event to return to the Party branch to organize life regularly.


    Like a warm spring breeze, ideological and political work has blown away the "bumps" in Daqing people’s hearts, dispersed the shadows and brought about a harmonious development and prosperity. Since 2000, the oil field has produced 338 million tons of crude oil and 15.48 billion cubic meters of natural gas, and the average annual oil-gas equivalent has remained at 50 million tons. The largest onshore natural gas field in eastern China has been discovered, creating a new situation of oil and gas simultaneously.


    Up to now, Daqing Oilfield has created the "three firsts" of China’s petroleum industry: the crude oil output is the first, with a cumulative production of 1.91 billion tons of crude oil, accounting for more than 40% of the total onshore crude oil production in the same period of the country; Paying profits and taxes first, and paying taxes and fees for the country totaled 973.4 billion yuan; The recovery rate of crude oil is the first, and the recovery rate of main oil fields exceeds 50%, which is 10-15 percentage points higher than that of similar oil fields at home and abroad.


  "Inheritance is not conservative, and innovation is not rooted."


    "There is no oil in a well without pressure, and people are light without pressure", "Workers work in three shifts, and each shift sees the leader", and "Leaders have employees in their hearts, and employees have enterprises in their hearts", which are the ideological essence rooted in the traditional battle of the year and are family heirlooms of Daqing, and are still widely used in work practice.


    Jiang Wanchun, deputy secretary and deputy director of the Party Committee of Daqing Petroleum Administration Bureau, said: "The traditional methods of ideological and political work are taken from practice and have been tested by history, so we can’t lose them at any time. In particular, the Daqing spirit and the Iron Man spirit are a good starting point for us to carry out ideological and political work in the new stage and carry out ideological education for employees. They are the soul of the oilfield. "


    The Iron Man Wang Jinxi Memorial Hall, which was relocated and completed in September 2006, has attracted more than 300,000 visitors in the past year. This is the spiritual holy land of Daqing people and the first classroom for workers’ factory education. Before employees’ children leave Daqing for further studies, parents will take their children to the Iron Man Statue, telling them not to forget the tradition and keep their true colors. When some young workers get married, they will wear costumes to report the good news to the old captain of the Iron Man and accept silent blessings.


    The wheel of the times is carrying Daqing Oilfield into the new century. Facing the new situation, tasks and active ideology of workers and staff, the oilfield has linked the traditional ideological and political work methods with the construction of advanced enterprise culture and found a new combination point. With an open mind, they widely absorb advanced cultural concepts and innovate corporate culture construction.


    "Daqing Oilfield, cheer for the motherland!" It is the new core concept of oilfield and the common aspiration of Daqing people. It makes oil people always have a full and proud smile on their faces in ordinary and monotonous labor, and makes them excited for the great cause of national rejuvenation.


    "Limited resources and unlimited science and technology" is a portrayal of the combination of Daqing people’s dedication and scientific and realistic attitude of "asking for resources from science", which condenses the minds of petroleum scientists and technicians and constantly explores and develops unknown fields.


    Combined with the construction of corporate culture, many methods of ideological and political work have been innovated in the inheritance of oilfield: "learn with questions and find answers", and test the theoretical learning effect by applying what you have learned; "Running through the main line, the channel does not change", promoting practice with theme education; "It’s better to show it to the employees than to say a thousand words and ten thousand words", and use the leading role to drive the employees; "People around us talk about things around us, and things around us touch people around us", use self-education to stimulate employees’ internal motivation, and use modern media to expand the coverage of ideological education. These innovations with distinctive characteristics of the times have enriched the ideological and political work in oil fields.


    In order to enlarge the effect of combining ideological and political work with advanced enterprise culture, the oilfield takes the grassroots as the focus of its work, arouses the enthusiasm of grassroots cadres and workers, and respects the pioneering achievements of the masses. The reporter’s interview at the grass-roots level is like walking in a big garden of corporate culture, with crystal dew on those bright and different flowers.


    "Testing the oil well, testing the character" is the cultural concept created by the testing system. And "Party A’s high standard makes Party B’s high level" comes from the market development system; Spark primary substation put forward that "gathering is a fire, scattering is all over the sky"; The North Tenth Five-Year Joint Station believes that "today is always the starting point".


    Sun Shuguang, secretary of the Party Committee of Daqing Oilfield Co., Ltd. said: "Inheritance is not conservative, and innovation is not rooted. These cultural ideas, which originated from workers and came from the front line, are vivid and concise, and are easy for workers to understand, accept and put into action. These innovations have greatly enriched the connotation of ideological and political work. "


    In Daqing, it is a tradition and fashion to respect model workers and advocate advanced technology. During the battle, every time the model worker came back with honor, he had to wear red clothes and flowers and sit on his horse, but the leader led the horse. Nowadays, Daqing treats model workers, advanced and outstanding scientific and technological personnel, awards cars, gives titles, gives topics and burdens, making advanced models more "loud" and "fragrant".


    In the oil field, many technological innovations named after ordinary employees have achieved fruitful results in their application. Wang Chunrong, a well washer in No.2 Oil Production Plant, explored a set of hot washing operation method of "inspection, determination, control and inspection", which extended the average maintenance period of oil pump by 767 days and was named "Wang Chunrong’s hot washing operation method". Wang Kun, deputy secretary of the Party Committee of Daqing Oilfield Co., Ltd., said that the naming method sets off the atmosphere of "glorious labor, lofty knowledge, precious talents and great creation" and is the tangible embodiment of ideological and political work.


    The reporter looked through the roster of cadres at all levels in the oilfield and found that there were many jobs in the post column where political work posts and production and operation posts crossed. In order to integrate ideological and political work into the whole process of production and operation, the oilfield has explored "four synchronizations", namely, the simultaneous establishment of party and government organizations, the simultaneous deployment of cadres, the simultaneous formulation of systems and the simultaneous assessment of work.


  "tangible work, intangible power"


    When some people are worried about the system and prospect of state-owned enterprises, Daqing Oilfield has ushered in a good development situation and solved people’s doubts. Strolling through the oil square, what caught the reporter’s eye was a peaceful scene: retired workers and couples took a leisurely walk arm in arm, middle-aged men and women danced with social dance music, and children skated lightly by.


    "The prosperous and harmonious situation comes from economic development and is also inseparable from effective ideological and political work. Practice has proved that ideological and political work is ubiquitous and can release huge productive forces. It is a’ tangible work, an intangible force’. " Wang Yupu said.


    Interviewing at the grassroots level, the reporter personally felt the great power of innovative ideological and political work in oil fields. Zhongqi Joint Station is the first closed joint station on land in China. The unique family management mode of employees has become a good helper for institutionalized management. Zhou Yuewen, secretary of the Party branch, called up the files in the computer, including the birthday, family status, children’s schooling, parents’ chronic diseases and other information of each employee. Since its establishment 23 years ago, this station has maintained safe production.


    Oil production team 43 was established in 1964, which is the "old benchmark" of the oilfield. There is a public toilet in the team. For many years, no one has been assigned to clean it, and no one has been assigned to take charge, but the toilet is always clean. Captain Li Ji said: "whoever finds dirt will clean it up." In our team, not only production, but also all work must strive for the upstream. "


    Paying attention to the vital interests of the masses and embodying humanistic care is a distinctive feature of the integration of ideological and political work and corporate culture construction in oil fields. "National interests are the most important, enterprise interests are the most critical, and workers’ interests are the most fundamental", which is the guiding ideology for oil fields to deal with the interests of the state, enterprises and individuals.


    In recent years, the oilfield has done everything possible to improve the working and living conditions of the production line, not only providing mobile dormitories with televisions and air conditioners for grass-roots stations and teams engaged in field work all the year round, but also providing "free lunches". The oilfield leader said: "Although the working conditions are still difficult, we must not let the frontline soldiers break down."


    Daqing Oilfield has 280,000 on-the-job and retired employees, including some low-income families and needy groups. In recent years, the oilfield has made great efforts to build a harmonious enterprise, tried every means to solve practical problems for the needy people and sent the warmth of the party to thousands of households. Only this year’s "Love Donation Activity", party member Oilfield enthusiastically donated tens of millions of yuan. These help actions strongly influence people’s thinking and enhance the cohesion of enterprises.


    When some enterprises were confused about finding spiritual support, Daqing Oilfield gave full play to the party’s political advantages and used colorful ideological and political work to solve many difficult problems in reform and development. When some political cadres feel left out in the cold, party organizations at all levels in Daqing Oilfield are active in all fields of production and life, playing an important role and performing irreplaceable sacred duties.


    Guan Youchun, one of the "five red flags in the new era" in the oilfield, is the party secretary of the operation brigade of the No.5 oil production plant. His figure always appears frequently in grass-roots units and the homes of poor workers. Thousands of employees in the team know him, and they come to him for big things and small feelings. He also knows all the employees’ names, and people affectionately call him "the right political worker".


    We have learned a lot from the powerful spring. His self-confidence stems from his persistence and love for his career. His affinity among the masses reflects the great charm of ideological and political work in Daqing Oilfield. This charm, such as spring breeze and rain, moistens things silently; Like the bright sunshine, the red flag in Daqing shines more brightly.

China’s monetary policy is accurate and powerful to promote the overall improvement of the economy

CCTV News:On March 17th, the People’s Bank of China announced that it decided to reduce the deposit reserve ratio of financial institutions by 0.25 percentage points on March 27th, 2023. According to the analysis, taking timely measures to reduce the RRR to release long-term liquidity to the financial system will help reduce the capital cost of banking institutions and guide financial institutions to further increase their support for the real economy.

This RRR cut is a comprehensive RRR cut. After the RRR cut, the weighted average deposit reserve ratio of financial institutions is about 7.6%. It is estimated that 500 billion yuan of long-term funds will be released to the banking system, saving banks 5.6 billion yuan to 6 billion yuan annually.

Why did you choose to lower the RRR at this time? Analysts believe that since the beginning of this year, the effect of stabilizing economic policies has continued to appear, and China’s economic operation has stabilized and rebounded; On the other hand, due to the strong expansion of domestic credit in February and January, the long-term liquidity of some banks is tight. Coupled with the "sequela" caused by the "interest rate hike" in major economies, the risk of overseas banking has increased and global liquidity has been under pressure.

Wen Bin, Chief Economist of China Minsheng Bank:In order to alleviate the pressure of banks’ lack of long-term money since the beginning of the year, cooperate with financial pre-efforts, and stabilize market expectations, the central bank released medium-and long-term liquidity and boosted confidence by lowering the RRR, so as to consolidate the upward trend of the economy and the smooth operation of the banking industry.

According to the analysis, among many monetary policy tools, RRR cut provides the longest liquidity term and the lowest cost, so the policy effect is more obvious. This RRR cut is expected to play four roles: First, the policy will exert its strength as soon as possible to boost market confidence; The second is to alleviate the short-term liquidity pressure and reduce the cost of social financing; Third, reduce the cost of bank liabilities and improve the ability to resist risks; Fourth, it is conducive to meeting the reasonable financing needs of housing enterprises and residents.

Experts said that the RRR cut can enhance the ability of financial institutions to allocate funds, maintain a reasonable growth in total credit, and play a vital role in stabilizing employment and protecting people’s livelihood, especially in creating a suitable monetary and credit environment for small and micro enterprises.

Gao Ruidong, Chief Macroeconomist of Everbright Securities:On the basis of a series of structural tools such as two RRR cuts and re-lending for scientific and technological innovation last year, the central bank lowered the RRR in an all-round way again, which fully reflected the determination of the People’s Bank of China to reduce the cost of comprehensive social financing and boost the economy.

This year’s government work report proposes to strengthen the coordination and cooperation of various policies and form a joint force to promote high-quality development. The RRR cut sent a clear policy signal to guide financial institutions to further increase their support for the real economy. Industry insiders predict that the tools such as the subsequent central bank RRR cut are still in the toolbox, and the monetary policy will continue to adopt the tool combination of "aggregate+structure". According to the domestic macroeconomic recovery, price performance and the situation in liquidity in the banking system, we will make flexible adjustments, increase support for weak links and key emerging areas, and promote the overall improvement of economic operation.
