On the Fourth Session of the 13th National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference

Letter of Reply to Proposal No.2010 (Finance and Taxation No.220)

　　Your proposal on standardizing the bidding behavior of government procurement centers and government-funded construction projects has been received. In consultation with the Ministry of Finance, our reply is as follows.

　　Your comments and suggestions have strong pertinence and important reference value, and the relevant situation is reported as follows.

　　A, about the cancellation of the government procurement center and other units of the bidding agency qualification.

　　In the field of bidding, the first paragraph of Article 12 of the Bidding Law stipulates that the tenderer has the right to choose a bidding agency and entrust it to handle the bidding matters. No unit or individual may designate a tendering agency for the tenderee in any way. Paragraph 2 of Article 14 stipulates that there shall be no subordinate relationship or other interest relationship between the tendering agency and the administrative organ or other state organs. State-owned enterprises such as central enterprises and local state-owned enterprises, as tenderers, have the right to choose their own bidding agencies according to law. Some state-owned enterprises have subordinate bidding agencies, so it is not appropriate to force them to choose the social third-party bidding agency in the territory (project location) of the construction project.

　　In the field of government procurement, China’s government procurement adopts the mode of combining centralized procurement with decentralized procurement. According to Article 16 of the Government Procurement Law, centralized procurement agencies are procurement agencies. The people’s governments at or above the level of cities and autonomous prefectures with districts shall set up centralized procurement institutions according to the needs of organizing centralized procurement of government procurement projects at the corresponding level. Centralized procurement institutions are non-profit legal persons, and handle procurement matters according to the entrustment of purchasers. Over the years, centralized procurement institutions have played an active role in giving full play to the scale effect and specialization advantages of procurement, and it is not practical to completely cancel the government procurement center. With the promotion of the integration of public resource trading platforms, many local public resource trading centers have assumed the functions of centralized procurement agencies in the process of local government institutional reform, and it is not practical to cancel the procurement agency function at present.

　　Second, on promoting electronic bidding and procurement

　　In recent years, our Committee and relevant departments in the State Council have actively promoted the electronization of the whole bidding process. Formulate and promulgate the Measures for Electronic Bidding (Order No.20 of 2013 issued by 8 departments including the National Development and Reform Commission), the Notice on Printing and Distributing the Bidding and Purchasing Action Plan of internet plus (2017-2019) (No.357 of the Development and Reform Law [2017]) and the Notice on Actively Responding to the Epidemic and Innovating the Bidding Work to Ensure the Stable Operation of the Economy (Development and Reform) We will further promote the electronization of the whole bidding process, and realize online operation in such links as issuing bidding announcements, downloading bidding documents, submitting bidding documents, opening bids, evaluating bids, and publicizing winning bids. Innovate electronic administrative supervision, realize dynamic recording, trace tracing and transparent disclosure of information in the whole transaction process, and further improve the pertinence, convenience and standardization of administrative supervision. Since 2018, our Committee and relevant departments have accelerated the revision of the Bidding Law, and the Bidding Law (Revised Draft for Review) (hereinafter referred to as the "Draft") has been reported to the State Council and included in the 2021 Legislative Work Plan of the State Council. The "Draft" further clarifies that except for special circumstances such as national security and state secrets, projects that must be subject to tender according to law should adopt electronic bidding.

　　The Ministry of Finance actively promotes the work related to electronic government procurement, and relies on information technology and big data technology to track and dynamically supervise the key links of government procurement, effectively regulating procurement behavior. At present, we are studying and formulating policy documents related to the "internet plus government procurement" action, which will further improve the top-level design of government procurement informatization, promote the deep integration of government procurement and the Internet, and improve the efficiency, transparency and regulatory effectiveness of government procurement.

　　Three, about standardizing the bidding procurement procedures

　　As for your suggestion that "pre-qualification is strictly prohibited before bidding", the second paragraph of Article 15 of the Regulations for the Implementation of the Bidding Law stipulates that if a tenderer uses the pre-qualification method to examine the qualifications of potential bidders, it shall issue a pre-qualification announcement and prepare pre-qualification documents. Whether or not to examine the qualifications of potential bidders is the autonomy of the tenderer, and the tenderer can conduct pre-qualification on the premise of complying with laws and regulations. The problem that the pre-qualification threshold is too high and the potential bidders are excluded in practice is rooted in the fact that the tenderee has not set the pre-qualification conditions and procedures reasonably according to the requirements of laws and regulations.

　　Regarding your suggestion that it is forbidden to have tendentious clauses in the bidding documents and set unreasonable qualification conditions, the Regulations on Optimizing the Business Environment drafted by our Committee and relevant departments clearly stipulates that bidding and government procurement should be open, transparent, fair and just, and market players of all ownership systems and different regions should be treated equally according to law. In the field of bidding, Article 32 of the Regulations for the Implementation of the Bidding Law stipulates that a tenderer shall not restrict or exclude potential bidders or bidders with unreasonable conditions, including not providing different project information to potential bidders or bidders for the same bidding project; Shall not set qualifications, technical and commercial conditions that are incompatible with the specific characteristics and actual needs of the project subject to tender or irrelevant to the performance of the contract; It is not allowed to take the performance and awards of a specific administrative region or a specific industry as the conditions for extra points or winning the bid in projects that must be subject to tender according to law; May not adopt different qualification examination or bid evaluation criteria for potential bidders or bidders; No specific patent, trademark, brand, country of origin or supplier shall be restricted or designated; It is not allowed to illegally limit the ownership or organizational form of potential bidders or bidders in projects that must be subject to tender according to law. In order to further promote the special rectification of the business environment in the field of bidding and tendering, in 2019, our Committee issued the Work Plan for the Special Rectification of the Business Environment in the Field of Bidding and Tendering of Engineering Projects (Development and Reform Office Regulations [2019] No.862), and together with relevant departments, promoted the comprehensive clean-up of bidding and tendering system documents that violated fair competition.Clean up, investigate and correct all kinds of unreasonable restrictions and barriers imposed on enterprises of different ownership in bidding laws and regulations, policy documents, bidding announcements, invitations to bid, pre-qualification announcements, pre-qualification documents, bidding documents and bidding practices, and seriously investigate and deal with a large number of illegal acts of excluding or restricting potential bidders. On this basis, in February 2021, our Committee issued and implemented the Notice on Establishing a Long-term Mechanism for Optimizing the Business Environment in the Field of Bidding (Development and Reform Regulation [2021] No.240, hereinafter referred to as "Document No.240"), and made arrangements for standardizing the formulation of local bidding system rules, comprehensively implementing the "double random and one open" supervision mode, and establishing a normalized collection and verification mechanism for clues that damage the business environment. In the field of government procurement, the current legal system of government procurement clearly stipulates that suppliers should not be treated differently or discriminated against under unreasonable conditions, including setting qualifications, technology and business conditions that are incompatible with the specific characteristics and actual needs of procurement projects or have nothing to do with contract performance; Not to the performance of a specific administrative region or a specific industry, awards as a bonus condition or bid, clinch a deal conditions; No specific patents, trademarks, brands or suppliers shall be restricted or designated; It is not allowed to illegally limit the ownership form, organization form or location of suppliers. If the supplier thinks that he has been treated unfairly in government procurement activities, he can raise questions to the relevant procurement units or complain to the relevant departments according to law.

　　As for your suggestion that experts should determine the winning bidder on the spot when the bid evaluation is completed, the bid evaluation results should not be fed back to the tenderer. According to the current legal system of bidding and government procurement, it is determined that the candidate winning the bid is the legal duty of the tenderer (purchaser). After the bid evaluation is completed, the bid evaluation committee shall submit a written bid evaluation report to the tenderer and recommend qualified candidates winning the bid. The tenderer shall determine the winning bidder according to the bid evaluation report and the recommended winning candidate. Article 55 of the Regulations on the Implementation of the Bidding Law stipulates that the tenderee shall determine the winning candidate ranked first as the winning bidder for the project that must be subject to bidding according to law with state-owned funds as the controlling or leading position.

　　Four, on the formulation of standard bidding documents

　　The preparation of standard bidding documents is of great significance for standardizing the preparation of prequalification documents and bidding documents, eliminating all kinds of unreasonable restrictions and barriers imposed on enterprises of different ownership in the bidding process, and promoting the openness, fairness and justice of bidding activities. In the field of bidding, our committee and relevant departments have successively issued a series of standard documents such as Pre-qualification Document for Standard Construction Bidding, Standard Construction Bidding Document, Concise Standard Construction Bidding Document, Standard Design and Construction General Contract Bidding Document, Standard Equipment Procurement Bidding Document, Standard Survey Bidding Document, Standard Design Bidding Document and Standard supervision bidding Document. At the same time, do a good job in the implementation of the above-mentioned standard documents, ensure the pre-qualification documents and bidding documents of projects that must be tendered according to law, and use the above-mentioned standard texts in strict accordance with regulations. In the field of government procurement, the Ministry of Finance has carried out useful explorations in formulating information release format specifications and contract standard texts, and will strengthen research in future work and promote related work in an orderly manner.

　　V. Handling of Complaints about Tendering and Bidding

　　The current legal system of bidding and government procurement has clearly defined the administrative supervision department of bidding and procurement. In the field of bidding, the first paragraph of Article 4 of the Regulations for the Implementation of the Bidding Law stipulates that the development and reform department of the State Council shall guide and coordinate the national bidding work and supervise and inspect the bidding activities of major national construction projects. The State Council industry and information technology, housing and urban construction, transportation, railways, water conservancy, commerce and other departments, in accordance with the provisions of the division of responsibilities to supervise the bidding activities. The second paragraph stipulates that the development and reform departments of local people’s governments at or above the county level shall guide and coordinate the bidding work in their respective administrative areas. The relevant departments of the local people’s governments at or above the county level shall, in accordance with the prescribed division of responsibilities, supervise the bidding activities and investigate and deal with illegal acts in bidding activities according to law. Where the local people’s governments at or above the county level have other provisions on the division of supervision responsibilities of their subordinate departments related to bidding activities, such provisions shall prevail. The fourth paragraph stipulates that the supervisory organ shall supervise the objects of supervision related to bidding activities according to law. In order to further unblock the channels of bidding objections and complaints, our Committee further requested the local bidding administrative supervision departments to improve the complaint handling mechanism, accept, investigate and handle complaints in a timely manner according to law, and publicize the administrative punishment decision online; According to the relevant laws and regulations and the responsibilities of the relevant administrative supervision departments, the division of responsibilities for complaint handling is listed in a list to avoid repeated acceptance or mutual shirking; Encourage the exploration of establishing a complaint handling mechanism for specific departments through local legislation,Prevent departments from shirking each other in areas where it is really difficult to coordinate and clarify regulatory responsibilities. In the field of government procurement, the Government Procurement Law? Article 13 stipulates that the financial departments of people’s governments at all levels are responsible for the supervision and management of government procurement, and perform their duties of supervision and management of government procurement activities according to law. Other relevant departments of the people’s governments at all levels shall perform supervision and management duties related to government procurement activities according to law.

　　As for your suggestion that the bidding issue should be included in the scope of discipline inspection and supervision, at present, the administrative supervision and discipline inspection and supervision of bidding and procurement activities have their own emphasis. The administrative supervision department of bidding and procurement exercises business supervision over bidding and procurement activities, and the discipline inspection and supervision department has established an effective coordination mechanism to supervise whether there are malpractices for personal gain, abuse of power and dereliction of duty in the process of performing their duties. Any unit or individual has the right to file a complaint and report any illegal act in bidding and purchasing activities. Among them, those that belong to the business scope shall be handled by the administrative supervision departments; Those belonging to the category of clean government and anti-corruption shall be handled by the discipline inspection and supervision department. Through collaborative supervision, we will form a joint force of supervision and strive to solve the illegal and illegal problems in bidding and procurement activities.

　　VI. Consideration for the next step

　　In the next step, our Committee will combine the research and absorb your suggestions, thoroughly implement the spirit of the Regulations on Optimizing the Business Environment, continue to implement Circular No.240, establish a platform for collecting clues that damage the business environment, and study and establish a system for collecting and reporting problem clues to information officers; Cooperate with the Ministry of Justice to speed up the legislative review of the Draft and listen to the opinions and suggestions of NPC deputies, CPPCC members and representatives of private enterprises more widely; Strengthen the supervision linkage with the Commission for Discipline Inspection, strengthen the administrative supervision of bidding, establish and improve the disciplinary mechanism of "one place is broken and everywhere is limited", actively explore and promote the comprehensive supervision mode of public resource transactions, and earnestly safeguard the fair competition order in the field of bidding; Timely issue policy documents to further promote the electronic bidding process during the 14th Five-Year Plan period, and revise and improve some standard bidding documents, so as to create a stable, fair, transparent and predictable bidding market environment for all kinds of market entities to invest and start businesses.

　　Thank you for your concern and support for development and reform.

　　Welcome to the website of our Committee (www.ndrc.gov.cn) for important information on national economic and social development policies, economic construction and social development, economic system reform, etc.

National Development and Reform Commission

October 14th, 2021

　　Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, September 16 th, New Media Specialist (Reporter Mao Weihao) You don’t have to wait in line at a big hospital, you can test the urine sample by taking out WeChat and sweeping it; You don’t need an old Chinese doctor to take a pulse, but you can diagnose your constitution by taking a photo at the eyeball … …

　　With the Internet companies marching into the grassroots general clinics, refreshing medical treatment scenes are constantly emerging, or will completely change the medical treatment experience of Chinese people.

　　On the 15th, in the newly opened "Penguin Doctor" general clinic in Chaoyang District, Beijing, a device about the size of an air purifier caught the attention of reporters. According to Wang Shirui, CEO of "Penguin Doctor", this is a self-service body fluid testing instrument, which was jointly developed by Tencent and Tsinghua University. At present, it can complete three tests, such as urine routine and ovulation period.

　　How to carry out urine sample testing by self-service? The staff gave a demonstration on the spot. Open WeChat and scan the QR code, and the machine will "spit out" a test paper. After completing the collection of urine samples according to the instructions, send the test paper back to the self-service machine, and the urine test results will be sent to the WeChat terminal soon and synchronized to the "Penguin Doctor" clinic.

　　In this clinic, there are many similar "new and unique" testing equipment. For example, the detection process of "eye image detector" is similar to that of vision test, but the physical examination report can show which of the nine constitutions of traditional Chinese medicine patients belong to and give suggestions on health management.

　　"Reconstruct the medical service process, break up the clinic services, release the services that can be shared, and put them around users, so that users can see their physical health more conveniently. We will make these self-help inspection and testing items like shared KTV or even vending machines, and put them in places where users can touch them quickly, such as office buildings and shopping malls, so as to save time for patients and doctors and provide patients with more humanized and convenient medical services. " Wang Shirui said.

　　It is understood that "Penguin Doctor" is a medical and health science and technology enterprise jointly established by Tencent, Jihui Capital, Medical Association and sequoia capital china. At present, the "Penguin Doctor" general clinic has landed in Beijing, Chengdu and Shenzhen, and will be put into operation one after another. Its service scope covers all common departments such as internal medicine, surgery, stomatology, rehabilitation medicine, psychological consultation, dermatology and physical examination.

　　In addition to sharing tests, future general clinics will also share doctors. In the "Penguin Doctor" clinic, it is not a full-time doctor who provides services to patients, but a part-time doctor who practices more. Patients must make an appointment in advance to see a doctor, so as to alleviate the shortage of doctor resources and improve the efficiency of doctor service.

　　In addition, "Penguin Doctor" also connects more general clinics through cloud services to provide standardized services for patients. The data shows that the system has been online for only two months, and more than 800 offline clinics have been connected, and about 200 clinics log in and use the system every day.

For media people, this is a very special and important movie! Especially now!

Ye Daying’s new film "erin brockovich", which will be officially released on August 12th, tells the story of financial reporters cooperating with the judicial department to expose the evil forces in the capital market.

In erin brockovich, Yu Li, editor-in-chief of New Island Weekly, played by Dani, withstood the pressure from all sides and fought bravely with the evil forces. In the film, Yu Li was not only kidnapped, but also threatened with her life. Her assistant was lured by capital and defected. You Yongzhi, an old opera player, plays Wang Mingguang, the president of Yu Li’s newspaper. With his superb acting skills, he fights with the villains Hai Yitian and Wang Ce, which not only restores the capital fraud case brilliantly, but also shows the determination and belief of media people in upholding justice.

In addition to well-known actors playing important roles in the film, our old friend Li Delin, the founder of Delin Society & Standard Finance, a well-known financial reporter and co-founder of Deep Blue Finance, also played a certain role in the film, which may be the place where we media people are curious.

This is not just a movie, it can be regarded as a textbook for financial news and financial fraud investigation and reporting, as a horn to encourage financial media people to forge ahead, and as our professional mission to revisit. At the same time, this film is also an important reference for listed companies, the most important participants in the capital market.

Liu Jipeng, Dean of the Institute of Capital Finance of China University of Political Science and Law, talks about the impression of erin brockovich.

On the afternoon of August 6th, at the invitation of Wang Boming, Director-General of China Securities Market Research and Design Center and President of Finance and Economics Magazine, I watched the first China media people’s film erin brockovich, which will be released nationwide on August 12th, with He Qiang, Lin Yixiang, Yao Zhenshan, Chen Xingdong and Shen Yi.

Based on the true story of the kidnapping of Yu Ying, the female editor-in-chief of "Weekly Stock Market" in 2008 in the North Third Ring Road, this film records the tortuous process of media people bravely exposing the shady story during the listing of radish chapter of a securities company, and it can also remind people of the shadows of financial tycoons such as tomorrow, Anbang and Yongjin.

After nearly three years of review, it is not easy for this film to be finally released in such a big year as 2022. The title of the film has also been changed from "The Gate of the Predator" to "erin brockovich", which shows the joys and sorrows of the struggle between media people and financial predators in China stock market. It shows that China media people are indispensable as the second supervisory force of the capital market.

After watching the movie, a symposium was held, and the experts at the meeting talked about their views enthusiastically and deeply thought about the reasons behind why the China stock market has been in a downturn for 33 years. I deeply feel that today’s supervision of China’s securities market must be adjusted from focusing on beauty pageants and neglecting thieves to focusing on thieves and neglecting beauty pageants. At the same time, we should give full play to and protect the just power of media people to expose the shady.

An anonymous person in the financial circle talks about the impressions of erin brockovich.

This afternoon, I was invited to watch the film "erin brockovich" by the famous director Ye Daying (the director of the famous film "Red Cherry") and Wang Boming, the president of Caijing magazine, as the producer. The film fully reflected the efforts of a group of media people with ideals to defend the justice of the capital market with the support of judicial justice. After watching the film, I had a discussion with Liu Jipeng, He Qiang, Wang Wei, Lin Yixiang, Chen Xingdong and Shen Yi, famous economists and participants in the construction of the capital market for more than 30 years, and famous media people such as Wang Boming, Yu Ying, He Gang and Yao Zhenshan, director Li Bing of the State Council State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, Wang Hang, vice chairman of New Hope Group, and Li Jiang, a famous lawyer.

At the invitation of Dean Liu Jipeng, I talked about three experiences: First, we personally participated (I published a book on the reform of the shareholding system in enterprises in the first half of 1992, and in 1997 I served as the director of the A-share office of Sanjiu Group, obtained the listing index and planned the listing of related businesses of the Group; Later, he was the deputy head and office director of the Group’s financial decision-making leading group, coordinating the information disclosure and reorganization of three A-share listed companies such as Sanjiu Medicine) and witnessed the magnificent capital market in China for more than 30 years. The capital market is the product of reform and opening up, and has also made outstanding contributions to the reform and opening up, especially the reform of state-owned enterprises and the development and growth of private enterprises. At the same time, it also witnessed the standardized development of China’s securities market, gained a firm foothold in many major events, and persisted in implementing the Company Law and the Governance Standards for Listed Companies. The second is to thank President Wang and Director Ye for making a good film. After human beings have owned the capital market, illegal phenomena appear from time to time in the market. Criminals take the opportunity to make fakes, disrupt the market and infringe on the interests of listed companies’ investors. Therefore, in the past hundred years, the regulatory authorities of various countries have been constantly fighting against the violation of laws and regulations in the capital market. Many of them are regarded as the second supervisory force, pursuing the truth, safeguarding market justice and fairness and giving confidence to market participants. This is something we must support and praise. Third, China’s economic transformation and development, especially to break through the’ stuck’ technology and promote the rapid development of high-tech industries, need a strong capital market.A country’s fund-raising ability is an important part of the country’s comprehensive national strength. Therefore, while constantly standardizing and improving the capital market supervision system, promoting the efficient development of the capital market is the key to ensuring the strategic initiative of big countries in the future, and it is also our desire to expect the capital market to grow and develop.

Today, some old friends in the financial sector meet to recall the’ exciting’ reforms in full swing in the 1980s and the thrilling development of the securities market for more than 30 years, hoping for better development in the future. Thanks to the photo provider.

　　Original title: Increased activity in the consumer market

　　In the first three quarters, China’s consumer market accelerated its recovery. Among them, the total retail sales of social consumer goods increased by 6.8% year-on-year, the retail sales of services increased by 18.9%, and the contribution rate of final consumption expenditure to economic growth was 83.2%.

　　Sheng Laiyun, deputy director of the National Bureau of Statistics, said that under the influence of a series of policies to promote consumption, China’s consumption, especially service consumption, showed a good trend of rebound and recovery.

　　The market is recovering well.

　　In order to promote the sustained recovery of the consumer market, since the beginning of this year, a series of policies and measures to promote consumption have been introduced from the central government to the local government, covering many fields such as automobiles and home furnishing.

　　"As the effect of the policy’ combination boxing’ continues to emerge, the consumption of residents has improved, especially the consumption of some bulk commodities has improved significantly." Zou Xianyu, deputy director of the Macro Department of the Economic Forecasting Department of the National Information Center, said that from the overall trend, the cumulative growth rate of total retail sales of consumer goods in the first three quarters reached 6.8%, a significant increase of 6.1 percentage points over the same period of last year. In September, the total retail sales of social consumer goods increased by 5.5% year-on-year, 0.9 percentage points faster than last month, among which urban consumption accelerated by 1 percentage point in September, and the improvement trend of consumption growth momentum was further revealed.

　　The recovery growth of domestic demand has played an important role in the stabilization and recovery of China’s economy. In terms of classification, residents’ consumption expenditure has accelerated, service consumption such as catering and accommodation has grown rapidly, and consumption of bulk commodities such as automobiles has grown steadily, and the potential of the domestic big market is constantly being released.

　　Service consumption is a bright spot. Since the economic operation has returned to normal, the offline passenger flow has gradually picked up, driving the service consumption to recover quickly. The data shows that the year-on-year growth rate of service retail sales in the first three quarters was significantly higher than the growth rate of total retail sales of consumer goods. Xia Jiechang, vice president of the Institute of Finance and Economics of China Academy of Social Sciences, believes that in the consumer market, the development potential of service consumption is the most worthy of attention. Service retail not only has the general function of retail circulation activities, but also shows important driving effects in supply upgrading, consumption expansion, industry innovation and social employment, and is expected to become the new engine of China’s economic growth in the future.

　　This year’s Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day holidays, whether it is the number of trips, tourism consumption or accommodation, catering income data, have maintained a strong growth momentum. "This shows that the market activity has increased and it also highlights the potential and vitality of market consumption." Sheng Laiyun said.

　　While offline passenger traffic gradually picked up, online retail also maintained rapid growth. In the first three quarters, the national online retail sales reached 10.8 trillion yuan, an increase of 11.6%, which was 4.8 percentage points higher than the growth rate of the total retail sales of social consumer goods, and the contribution rate of physical network zero to social zero growth reached 33.9%. Among them, new formats such as live e-commerce are developing strongly. According to the latest data from the Ministry of Commerce, in the first three quarters, 151 of the 170 national e-commerce demonstration bases established live broadcast bases, and the national live broadcast e-commerce sales reached 1.98 trillion yuan, up 60.6%, accounting for 18.3% of the online retail sales. The live broadcast e-commerce pulled the net to zero growth rate of 7.7 percentage points.

　　Consumption potential needs to be tapped

　　Although the consumer market continues to recover steadily, the internal and external environment facing steady growth is still severe and complicated, and the consumption potential needs to be further tapped.

　　Taking new energy vehicles as an example, the sales of new energy vehicles accounted for 29.8% of the total sales of new vehicles in the first three quarters, and the supporting charging infrastructure system was also continuously optimized. However, there are still some problems in rural areas, such as insufficient construction of public charging infrastructure, difficult installation and sharing of charging facilities in residential communities, and prominent contradiction between supply and demand in different periods, which restrict the release of consumption potential of new energy vehicles in rural areas. In the next step, we should effectively reduce the restrictions on the installation of charging piles in rural power grids, promote the popularization of rural charging facilities, and fill in the shortcomings of consumer infrastructure.

　　In addition, it is necessary to strengthen the digital empowerment of traditional business districts and further promote the continuous improvement of physical store operations. Zou Xianyu said that in the process of focusing on supporting the construction of digital commercial blocks, it is necessary to support new business layouts such as smart retail, cross-border retail and unmanned supermarkets.

　　"China’s consumption potential is relatively large, and its population size is relatively large. In addition, it is at a critical stage of upgrading its consumption structure. As the economy continues to recover, the overall consumption trend in China will be good." Sheng Laiyun said that in the fourth quarter, China’s consumption will continue to recover in the first three quarters.

　　"Starting from the overall strategic situation, the state attaches great importance to expanding domestic demand in steady growth, gives priority to restoring and expanding consumption, and has launched a series of policy’ combination boxing’ to promote consumption." Wei Wang, a second-level researcher at the Institute of Market Economy of the State Council Development Research Center, said.

　　At the same time, the overall employment situation has improved, and the income level has increased steadily, helping the consumption power to stabilize. In the first three quarters, the national per capita disposable income actually increased by 5.9%, 0.1 percentage point faster than that in the first half of the year, which laid a good foundation for the sustainable recovery and growth of consumption in the future.

　　"Although the current economy is in the process of wave recovery and tortuous progress, with the continuous repair of the balance sheets of enterprises and residents, consumption willingness and consumption power are expected to further recover, and consumption momentum will be further enhanced." Zou Xianyu said that at the same time, we should also see that there is still a distance from the complete recovery of consumption, and the fluctuation of consumption growth is still large. From the perspective of key categories, the gap-filling effect of service consumption will end, and the whole will gradually return to the normal growth trend, and commodity consumption will maintain a moderate growth.

　　Experts said that the current demand growth rate is still insufficient, and it is necessary to continuously enhance the confidence of enterprises and markets. At the same time, firmly grasp the key link of expanding domestic demand, accelerate the activation of the domestic market, and fully release the economic growth potential of China. (Reporter)
