Is the economic downward pressure further expanded? Official response to economic hotspots

Beijing, Beijing, May 16 (reporter Li Jinlei) is there no inflation pressure in the current Chinese economy? Is the downward pressure of the economy expanding further? What is the next trend of China’s economic growth? Why does the growth rate of real estate development investment accelerate? The National Bureau of Statistics released economic data for April on the 15th and responded to a series of hot economic issues. Citizens are shopping in supermarkets. Photo by zhongxin.com reporter Li Jinlei Is there no inflation pressure in China’s economy? — Current CPI keeps a moderate rise According to data from the National Bureau of Statistics, CPI rose 1.2 percent year-on-year in April, an increase of 0.3 percent age points over the previous month. CPI rose 1.4 percent year-on-year from January to April. Among them, the year-on-year increase of CPI in February and March is below 1%, which is relatively low in recent years. Does this mean that there is no inflation pressure in China’s economy at present? In this regard, Xing Zhihong, spokesman of the National Bureau of Statistics, responded that the current low price increase is mainly because food prices are lower than the same period last year, and the overall weather conditions have been relatively good since this year, some agricultural products such as vegetables are fully supplied. Xing Zhihong pointed out that when food and energy were deducted, the core CPI rose 2.1% year on year in April. The increase of such CPI was basically the same as that of previous years, which was a moderate increase. Therefore, the current consumer price is a moderate upward trend. In addition to the food field, the price increase of non-food is slightly higher than that of the previous year, which reflects that the consumption demand of the whole society is still relatively active, and the consumer goods market is relatively active. Data map: Photo taken by China News Agency reporter FOOD-SWEET on the production site of iron and steel industry Does the downward pressure of the economy expand? — The steady growth trend of major economic indicators has not changed. The data shows that some indicators of economic operation declined in April. Does this mean that the downward pressure of China’s economy is further expanding? In this regard, Xing Zhihong analyzed that the growth rate of some indicators declined in the current month. In fact, this was mainly due to the impact of the May Day holiday ahead of schedule and the one-day decrease in working days. If we compare the growth of these indicators in April with that in January-February and last month, we can find that the performance of relevant indicators is not weak. “In addition, from the cumulative data of relevant indicators, the decline in the growth rate of the current month has not affected the stable development trend of the cumulative growth rate, the cumulative growth rate of relevant indicators from January to April basically continued the stable growth trend since the first quarter.” Xing Zhihong said. For example, Xing Zhihong said that although the growth rate in the month of total retailing of social consuming goods dropped by 0.2 percent age points compared with that in March, the cumulative growth rate in January-April was 10.2 percent, which was 0.2 percent age points higher than that in the first quarter. Therefore, no matter from the range of changes or the reasons for changes, this does not belong to a trend change, which is within a reasonable range, A small fluctuation within the expected range. It can be said that the steady growth trend of the main economic indicators in the national economy has not changed. Data map: import and export containers. China News Service reporter Bo Bo photo What is the next economic growth trend? — Stable and positive situation can be sustained Regarding the trend of economic growth in the next step, Xing Zhihong said that the positive factors in China’s economic operation are accumulating continuously, and the favorable conditions are steadily increasing. Since this year, in the economic operation, there have been many positive changes in the relationship between supply and demand, quality benefits, market expectations and the vitality of micro subjects, this makes the current steady and positive development trend sustainable. Xing Zhihong analyzed the performance of four aspects: first, the improvement momentum of supply and demand in most industries is continuing, and the market demand continues to expand; Second, the quality benefit is continuously improving; third, the market is expected to continue to improve; Fourth, the vitality of micro subjects is generally enhanced. “Therefore, based on the above situation, the current overall stable and stable economic trend is sustainable.” Xing Zhihong pointed out that in the relevant report released by the International Monetary Fund in April, China’s GDP forecasts for 2017 and 2018 were raised by 0.1 and 0.2 percent age points respectively, this shows that the international community is also very confident about China’s economic growth. Data map: commercial housing construction. Taken by Lv Ming, China News Agency reporter Why does the growth rate of real estate development investment accelerate? — Inseparable from last year’s continuation effect Data show that the national fixed asset investment (excluding farmers) increased by year-on-year from January to April, and the growth rate dropped by 0.3 percent age points from January to March. At the same time, from January to April, the national real estate development investment increased by 9.3 percent year-on-year, and the growth rate was 0.2 percent age points faster than that from January to March. Why does the growth rate of investment in real estate development still accelerate when there are still hot spots and second-tier cities that frequently introduce regulatory policies and measures? In this regard, Xing Zhihong believes that this is inseparable from a continuation effect last year. Last year, the sales area of commercial housing in the country increased by, which led to a relatively strong boom in the real estate market, many real estate enterprises have plus-sized their investment efforts, and many projects under construction are still in progress. Investment projects have Periodicity. Once they start, they need to continue for a period of time. “Therefore, the current growth of real estate investment can be said to be a continuation of this cycle.” Xing Zhihong pointed out that in addition, real estate is now undergoing classified regulation and control. In order to curb the excessive rise in housing prices, first-tier cities have also Plus-sized the supply of land and houses. Therefore, the increase of real estate investment appears under so many reasons and backgrounds. (Finished) 3169 Beijing, May 16 (reporter Li Jinlei) is there no inflation pressure in the current Chinese economy? Is the downward pressure of the economy expanding further? What is the next trend of China’s economic growth? Why does the growth rate of real estate development investment accelerate?

“Abandoned Water” in major hydropower provinces such as Sichuan and Yunnan is becoming more and more fierce, causing great waste.

Economic Information Daily reported on May 15 that the Southwest region represented by Sichuan and Yunnan is the “main battlefield” of China’s hydropower development “. However, in recent years, under the double pressure of the rapid growth of hydropower installed capacity and the continuous downturn of the growth rate of electricity consumption, Sichuan, Yunnan and other major hydropower provinces have continuously “abandoned water” for many years, resulting in a large amount of clean energy wasted in vain, the Enterprise suffered serious losses and the tax on resources and land dropped sharply. Actively developing hydropower is an important means to optimize the energy supply structure and increase the proportion of non-fossil energy consumption in China during the “Tenth Five-Year Plan” period. Some insiders suggested that clean energy allocation should be firmly implemented “a game of chess for the whole country”, and the increasingly severe contradiction of “abandoned water” should be resolved through specific policies and measures to ensure the healthy development of the hydropower industry. The situation of abandoned water caused by supply-demand imbalance is severe Sichuan and Yunnan are the regions with the most abundant hydraulic resources in our country, and they are also the important power bases of China’s “West-East Power Transmission. A batch of national major hydropower projects such as Xiluodu, Xiangjiaba and Jinping (Level I and Level II) were successively established and started construction during the “Tenth Five-Year Plan” and “Eleventh Five-Year Plan”, and were put into production in the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan, the supply capacity of clean energy in Sichuan-Yunnan region has been greatly enhanced. According to the data from Sichuan Energy Bureau, during the 12th Five-Year Plan period, the installed capacity of Sichuan hydropower increased by 18.1 percent annually, which is equivalent to putting into operation a Three Gorges power station every two years. However, as the macro-economy enters a new normal, the demand for electricity will slow down, and the contradiction between electricity supply-demand imbalance will gradually become prominent. The electricity consumption of the whole society in Sichuan dropped sharply from the double-digit growth level in 2011 to-1.1% in 2015, which was also the first negative growth in Sichuan since 1998. In recent years, the installed power generation capacity of Yunnan hydropower and other clean energy sources has increased rapidly, and the power supply capacity has been greatly improved. However, influenced by the macroeconomic situation and institutional mechanism, since 2013, the province’s power supply has changed from seasonal abundance and deficiency to annual surplus, especially a large number of hydropower abandoned water in flood season. Statistics from the Yunnan provincial industrial and information commission show that during the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” period, the power installed capacity in Yunnan province increased rapidly, and the total power installed capacity in the province increased from 36 million kilowatts in 2010 to 79.15 million kilowatts in 2015, in the past five years, the total new installed capacity is about 43 million kilowatts, with an average annual growth rate of 17%. By 2016, Yunnan’s hydropower installed capacity had reached 60.96 million kilowatts, and hydropower and other renewable energy accounted for of the province’s total installed capacity. Contrary to the rapid growth of power installation, influenced by the macroeconomic situation, the growth rate of Yunnan’s electricity demand slowed down in the late 12th Five-Year Plan, and the disconnection between power development and construction and the cultivation of electricity market was obvious. The phased surplus of electricity supply directly led to the gradual expansion and intensification of “abandoned water” of Southwest hydropower. The reporter learned from the energy authorities and power grid enterprises in Sichuan and Yunnan that in 2013, Sichuan and Yunnan “abandoned water” was 2.6 billion and 5 billion kWh respectively; Last year, the “abandoned water” of the two provinces has reached 14.2 billion and 31.4 billion kWh respectively, while 30 billion kWh is equivalent to the electricity consumption of the whole society in Hebei province for one month. According to relevant estimates, this year, under the condition that the thermal power of Yunnan power grid is operated in a minimum mode and only 16 billion kWh of power generation is arranged, the surplus power of hydropower may still be nearly 55 billion kWh. Contradiction between water and electricity transmission and absorption The reporter investigated in Sichuan and Yunnan and found that this round of “abandoned water” was directly caused by the imbalance of power supply and demand in stages, but behind it were many contradictions existing in the ability and mechanism of cross-regional allocation of clean energy. The first is that the installed power generation has increased rapidly. The electricity consumption and external load in the province are less than the installed capacity, and the contradiction between the supply of electricity and the demand is prominent. At present, the installed capacity of power generation in Yunnan is 84.43 million kilowatts, and it is estimated that the installed capacity will be about 87.2 million kilowatts by the end of this year. However, the maximum load of electricity consumption and external delivery in the province is less than 50 million kilowatts, and the installed capacity of the province exceeds 362.7 billion kWh, the province’s electricity consumption and delivery plan demand is 260.2 billion kWh, and the province’s electricity surplus is 102.5 billion kWh. The surplus power of hydropower is nearly 55 billion kWh. New energy pressure intensifies. In 2017, the new energy installed capacity in Sichuan will still grow rapidly. It is expected that the new energy installed capacity will exceed 3 million kilowatts by the end of 2017, and the annual electricity capacity will reach 6 billion kwh. The problem of new energy consumption in Sichuan will become more prominent. Due to the difficulty of absorbing new energy outside the province, the coordinated development of various clean energy sources in Sichuan is becoming more and more prominent. Secondly, water and electricity transmission faces “price trap”. According to relevant sources, due to the prominent contradiction between electricity supply and demand, it has become a buyer’s market. After market-oriented transactions, the electricity price of hydropower enterprises is generally lower than the original on-line electricity price, which cannot fully reflect the value of clean energy such as hydropower. At the same time, the investment in hydropower construction cost, immigration, environmental protection and so on is increasing, and the competitive advantage of hydropower in the oversupply market is becoming smaller and smaller, and the sustainable development of hydropower industry is facing challenges. In 2016, cross-provincial and cross-regional transactions in Sichuan province were carried out in a market-oriented way for the first time. In the annual transaction, the outbound price of power generation enterprises is 0.21 yuan/kWh, and the price is lower than the price of water and electricity in the receiving provinces and cities, which is nearly 0.03 yuan/kWh lower than the year-on-year. The temporary transaction price is as low as 0.16 yuan/kWh. According to relevant sources, the decline in the price of outbound electricity did not bring additional outbound electricity growth. From the actual outbound electricity in Sichuan province, the year-on-year decline was (in 2015, including the transfer electricity from Jingguan to Liuchuan, the price is higher than the price sent by Sichuan). Obviously, the market mode cannot promote the absorption of clean energy. Third, the Southwest hydropower transmission channel is seriously insufficient and the progress is slow. At the end of the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan”, Sichuan’s cross-provincial and cross-regional power exchange capacity has reached 28.5 million kilowatts, ranking first in the provincial power grid in the country. However, compared with Sichuan’s power installed capacity of more than 80 million kilowatts and the provincial load of nearly 30 million kilowatts, the delivery capability is still insufficient. During the “tenth and Third Five-Year Plan” period, Sichuan was only approved for a 500 kV third channel project of Sichuan-Chongqing power grid, with a maximum delivery capacity of about 2 million kilowatts. However, Sichuan is expected to increase its power installation capacity by 20 million kilowatts during the same period. Therefore, it is a foregone conclusion that the “abandoned water” area of Sichuan province will continue to expand in the “tenth and third five-year plan. Fourthly, under the condition of imbalance between supply and demand and obstruction of delivery, it is also difficult to absorb electricity locally. According to statistics from the power security department of Yunnan Provincial Industry and Information Technology Commission, due to the macroeconomic situation, during the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” period, the growth rate of electricity demand in Yunnan province declined year by year, with an average annual growth of 7.47%, lower than the growth rate of installed power generation and power generation, in 2015, the electricity consumption of the whole society in the whole province showed negative growth for the first time, down year-on-year, and continued to decline in 2016. The electricity consumption of the whole society in 2016 was about 5 billion kWh less than that in 2013. The main reason was the decline of industrial consumption. In Sichuan, the average electricity load in the province is only more than 1/3 of the installed power generation capacity in the whole province. Although the electricity consumption in Sichuan exceeded 200 billion kWh last year, the growth rate reached a new high in nearly three years, but it also failed to reverse the situation of “abandoned water. Fifth, the willingness of central and eastern regions to accept Southwest hydropower has weakened. Liu yang, deputy director of the development planning department of state grid sichuan electric power company, told the reporter that the fourth uhv dc transmission channel in sichuan had been put forward in 2013 and was included in the “tenth and third five-year plan, it is planned to send power from the middle reaches of yalong river to a certain provinces in the central region, but this line was opposed by the provinces where the project was delayed. At present, two hydropower stations have been built in the middle reaches of Yalong River, but the delivery channel and the consumption market are not clear, and there is a serious disconnection. Chen Yunhui, deputy general manager of State Grid Sichuan Electric Power Company, analyzed that with the changes of economic environment and supply and demand situation, the central and eastern regions were under the pressure of increasing taxes and promoting employment, they prefer to use local thermal power rather than accept foreign hydropower. Clean energy development needs a national game of chess” Insiders suggest that in view of the fact that most hydropower resources are far away from China’s load center, we should continue to adhere to the strategy of “sending electricity from west to east” and introduce practical measures from the policy level, implement clean energy allocation “a game of chess across the country”. The first is to coordinate and coordinate the construction of various regions and various energy sources, and gradually increase the proportion of non-fossil energy consumption. At present, Sichuan and Yunnan provinces have introduced measures to strictly control medium and small hydropower projects. Shi Yudong, general manager of Sichuan Electric Power Company of State Grid, believes that it is necessary to guard against some areas blindly relying on energy investment to stimulate the economy, especially energy projects with short construction cycle, so as to avoid “rushing up”. The second is to get through the “obstruction” of cross-regional power transmission as soon as possible “. Under the condition that the trans-regional power transmission capacity is obviously insufficient, the channel construction should be started as soon as possible; Inter-Provincial barriers should be broken and trans-regional power transmission should be put to a higher level for coordination; Strict measures should be introduced to ensure the network, SOURCE synchronous planning and construction, and require new projects to implement market space in advance to prevent the occurrence of new “abandoned water” phenomenon. The third is to improve the system and mechanism of clean energy development. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of Yunnan province suggested that the state implement differentiated policies when assessing the total energy consumption and the reduction rate of

The Central Commission for Discipline Inspection talked about the change: choosing the right one to benefit the wrong one

Selecting and employing people is the vane of political life within the party, and establishing the orientation of employing people is the fundamental measure of serious political life within the party. Choosing people to use good people and choosing good ones must strictly control the integrity of political test, make the political ecology clearer, and provide guarantee for the long-term development of the party and the country. After the political line is determined, cadres are the decisive factor. At present, the change of local leadership team is advancing, and the relevant personnel work of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China has also started. Choosing people to use good people is related to the continuous development of the party’s cause and the overall situation of the party’s construction, and to promoting the overall layout of “five in one” and the strategic layout of “four comprehensive. Selecting and Using loyal and responsible cadres can release the strong signal of the most positive energy and encourage Party members and leading cadres to consciously assume the responsibility entrusted by the party and the people. Choose the right one for the benefit of one piece; Use the wrong one to harm one side. If there is a problem in selecting and employing people, the party style will be seriously corrupted, the party’s hearts and minds will be harmed, and the party’s cause will be caused inestimable losses. This year is the year of the new term. It is more important to focus on political discipline and integrity discipline, and resolutely prevent cadres who have political problems and are not clean themselves from entering the new team during the change, do a good job in building the cadre team from the source. The most difficult thing in the world is to employ people. Select 2300 representatives of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China from 89 million Party members and determine the candidates of the “two committees” at all levels. It is not that I have no problem, but that I should choose the best and the best, make sure the color is good and the color is sufficient. The political quality, leadership level and responsibility of the leading group of the Party committee should be selected and matched. In accordance with the decision-making and deployment of the CPC Central Committee on the change of term, we should resolutely implement the Party’s organizational line, adhere to the principle of the party managing cadres, strictly implement the regulations on the selection and appointment of cadres, and prevent and correct the unhealthy trend of employment. Loyalty to the party and political reliability are the first requirements for Party members and leading cadres. We must adhere to both ability and political integrity, take morality as the first priority, deeply understand and master the political quality, moral conduct and implementation of the party’s line, principles and policies, and truly strengthen political awareness, leading cadres who have a general view, have a good style, and dare to take responsibility are selected into the leading group. The existing problems can not be vague at all. They must be checked in a timely manner. They must not be careless. If there is a serious violation of discipline and law of new cadres just after the transition, they must be seriously accountable to the relevant responsible persons. Implement the regulation that “the opinions of discipline inspection and supervision organs must be listened to, and the letters and visits report with specific clues must be checked”, and strictly close the requirements of comprehensively and strictly managing the party to the personnel arrangement of the general change, this is an important political task entrusted by the Party Central Committee to discipline inspection organs. We should take a highly responsible attitude towards the party and the people and a highly responsible attitude towards history, do a solid job in basic work, and regularly sort out the situation that leading cadres, especially top leaders and reserve cadres, abide by political discipline and integrity discipline, find out the base number and update it dynamically, thoroughly carry out the political and ecological conditions of regions and departments, and provide reference for the transition work. The strict reply to the opinions of party style and clean government is a test of the ideological and political level and the ability to grasp policies of discipline inspection cadres. We must never come up with a reply like “there is a reflection, but it is relatively general and does not have the possibility of checking”. We must put forward clear and specific opinions one by one, two by two, the veto of one vote with political problems and the resolute exclusion of those with hard wounds on honesty. Discipline inspection commissions at all levels should fulfill their duties of checking and keeping up with the trust and trust of the Party Central Committee. 1233 selecting and employing people is the vane of the political life within the party, and establishing the orientation of employing people is the fundamental measure to seriously the political life within the party. Choosing people to use good people and choosing good ones must strictly control political test integrity, make the political ecology clearer, and make long-term efforts for the cause of the party and the country.
