  Developing new productive forces and strengthening the cultivation of top-notch innovative talents

  In 2024, "new quality productivity" was written into the government work report for the first time. To accelerate the development of new quality productivity, a large number of top-notch innovative talents are urgently needed. Huai Jinpeng, Minister of Education, introduced how to build an independent talent training system and strengthen the training of top-notch innovative talents.

  Huai Jinpeng, Minister of Education, said that at present, China’s higher education has entered the stage of universal education, with a scale of more than 60% by the end of 2023, ranking first in the world. The short board of "quantity" is no longer the main aspect of contradiction, and we are in a critical period of accelerating the development from demographic dividend to talent dividend with high quality. Therefore, to build an education power, an important talent center and an innovative highland in the world also requires us to exert our efforts on top-notch innovative talents and the ability of independent training, which is also a key measure to meet the demand for talents for developing new quality productive forces and realizing Chinese modernization.

  Promoting the development of classification characteristics of colleges and universities in comprehensive reform

  Huai Jinpeng said that in the comprehensive reform of universities, the classification, characteristic development and evaluation mechanism of universities will be promoted.

  Huai Jinpeng said, colleges and universities should be encouraged to display their advantages and give full play to their advantages in talent training. For basic disciplines, interdisciplinary disciplines and emerging disciplines, talents urgently needed by the national economy and society should be strengthened in basic research and engineering technology.

  Allow trial and error, tolerate failure and let young people "dare to break into no man’s land"

  Huai Jinpeng said that in the next step, the Ministry of Education will strengthen the cultivation of talents in innovation through multi-party cooperation, and constantly improve the ability of innovation in talent cultivation. Increase the support for young scientific and technological talents in colleges and universities, and start long-term, high-intensity and stable support at the initial stage of his academic career, allowing trial and error and tolerance for failure, so that young talents can "dare to sit on the bench and dare to break into no man’s land" and produce important original subversive achievements.

  In 2023, 12.44 million new jobs were created in cities and towns.

  China is a developing country with a large population, and employment affects the lives of thousands of families. At the press conference, Wang Xiaoping, Minister of Human Resources and Social Security, introduced the current employment situation.

  Wang Xiaoping said that in the past year, 12.44 million new jobs were created in cities and towns, the average urban unemployment rate was 5.2%, and the number of people out of poverty was over 33 million, which achieved the expected goal. Judging from the situation in 2024, the job market started well, enterprises started to resume work and production, migrant workers returned to work smoothly and orderly, and the activity of job hunting and recruitment increased. It is worth noting that the demand for professionals such as artificial intelligence and big data is strong, the demand for service industries such as nursing, accommodation and catering, and cultural tourism is rising, the recruitment demand of small and micro enterprises has increased significantly, and the demand for technical skills has risen rapidly. The pressure of total employment has not diminished, structural contradictions have yet to be solved, and some workers are facing some difficult problems in employment. More efforts are needed to stabilize employment.

  Stabilize the market, prevent risks, promote transformation and solve housing problems

  At the press conference, Ni Hong, Minister of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, said that in the past year, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, together with relevant departments, issued a series of real estate policies and measures to keep the bottom line of no systemic risks. In 2024, we will continue to make efforts to stabilize the market, prevent risks and promote transformation to promote the solution of housing problems.

  Ni Hong said that the first stable market has now fully given the city the autonomy to regulate and control, and the city government should shoulder the responsibility to prepare and implement a good housing development plan according to the population, supply and demand and the demand for security, and optimize the real estate policy according to the city’s policy to stabilize the real estate market.

  The second is to prevent risks, treat them equally, and support the reasonable financing needs of real estate enterprises with different ownership. At present, 312 cities at or above the prefecture level in 31 provinces have established coordination mechanisms, with more than 6,000 white-listed projects reported, 82% of which are projects of private enterprises and mixed-ownership enterprises. By the end of February, loans approved by commercial banks exceeded 200 billion yuan. What needs to be emphasized is that for housing enterprises that are seriously insolvent and lose their ability to operate, they should go bankrupt and reorganize according to the principles of rule of law and marketization; For acts that harm the interests of the masses, resolutely investigate and deal with them according to law and let them pay the due price.

  Third, we should promote transformation, stay, live safely and get a job, and strive to solve the housing problems of new citizens, young people and migrant workers in a variety of ways, such as a bed, a room and a suite, so that they can let go of their hands and feet and fight for a better life.

  Wang Hesheng, Director of the National Bureau of Disease Control and Prevention, talks about X disease.

  Recently, the international community has paid great attention to X disease. At the press conference, Wang Hesheng, director of the National Bureau of Disease Control and Prevention, responded to this.

  Wang Hesheng said that the so-called X disease does not represent a specific disease, but an infectious disease caused by an unknown pathogen that may lead to a global pandemic. The main characteristics of X disease are high pathogenicity, rapid infection and easy variation, and there is great uncertainty in its occurrence and development. Therefore, it is difficult to predict the pathogen, time and place of X disease. Although it is difficult to avoid the occurrence of disease X, the pandemic caused by it can be prevented and dealt with. We will work with relevant departments to plan ahead, play a good first move and fight a good initiative to prepare for the uncertainty of infectious disease pandemic.

The famous wine price increase plan was exposed in advance: Maotai rose in 80 yuan Wuliangye rose in 59 yuan.

  The reporter learned from many channels that the liquor consumption tax adjustment plan has been completed and submitted to the State Council for approval. "the State Council is more cautious, and has recently suspended its introduction." However, influenced by the adjustment of liquor consumption tax, liquor giants such as Maotai and Wuliangye have secretly formulated liquor price increase plans, and the price increase range has also been determined. Although the plan is suspended, the price of wine should be raised.


  The approval of consumption tax is temporarily postponed.


  The adjustment of liquor consumption tax is likely to be postponed, which gives the domestic liquor giants a short break. On July 2nd, the reporter learned from the relevant departments of the Ministry of Finance that the liquor consumption tax adjustment plan has been completed and submitted to the State Council. "Considering the current economic situation, the State Council will not approve the implementation of this plan for the time being."


  Just because the plan is suspended does not mean that the plan will not be implemented. At the same time, an industry analyst close to the State Administration of Taxation revealed that the State Administration of Taxation said that the liquor consumption tax plan will not be released and implemented in the short term, and the specific time may be about 3 months.


  At present, the consumption tax on tobacco products has been raised, while the consumption tax on liquor, which is also a non-necessity, has been postponed, which means that the complexity of liquor industry far exceeds that of tobacco industry. On the contrary, the consumption tax burden of liquor industry is much lower than that of tobacco industry.


  The reporter looked at the 2008 annual reports of the top liquor companies in China and found that the consumption tax of several major liquor companies in that year was less than 10% of the sales. Roughly calculated, Wuliangye’s consumption tax in 2008 was 417 million yuan, and its sales were 7.933 billion yuan, and the consumption tax rate accounted for about 5.2% of the sales. Maotai pays consumption tax of 500 million yuan, accounting for about 6% of its sales; LU ZHOU LAO JIAO CO.,LTD paid consumption tax of 194 million yuan, accounting for about 4.1% of sales.


  It is understood that this adjustment of liquor consumption tax is mainly aimed at the tax avoidance loopholes of middle and high-end brand liquor of several major liquor companies, especially middle and high-end liquor.


  Analysts in the food and beverage industry of Shen Yin Wanguo Securities once predicted that if the price sold by liquor enterprises to sales companies is not less than half of the ex-factory price, according to this calculation, in 2009, the performance impact ranges of Kweichow Moutai, Wuliangye, LU ZHOU LAO JIAO CO.,LTD and Shuijingfang were 7.1%, 19.9%, 16.3% and 9.1% respectively.


  Liquor giants secretly raise prices.


  Although the adjustment plan of liquor consumption tax has not been announced, liquor enterprises have already felt the pressure and made price adjustments in succession to prepare for emergencies.


  A liquor marketer in Guizhou revealed that Maotai has made a plan to raise the price of each bottle of Maotai by about 80 yuan. If the liquor consumption tax adjustment plan is implemented, Maotai will definitely raise the price.


  At the same time that Maotai reported the price adjustment, another liquor giant was also formulating an upward adjustment plan. A person close to Wuliangye told reporters: "Wuliangye will also raise its price, and the price of one bottle will be raised by about 59 yuan. This price increase is mainly affected by the expected adjustment of liquor consumption tax. Some dealers already know this information. "


  As the weather vane of liquor industry, every move of Maotai and Wuliangye directly affects the trend of first-line enterprises such as LU ZHOU LAO JIAO CO.,LTD and Shuijingfang.


  Liquor companies are very cautious about raising prices. A person from the Secretary-General’s Office of Kweichow Moutai said: "If the price of the company’s products is raised, the company will make an announcement at the first time." The answer of a woman in Wuliangye’s secretarial office is basically the same as that of Maotai. Peng Zhifu, the director of Wuliangye, who is on a business trip, said: "The situation is not clear."


  However, some analysts believe that it is difficult to raise prices at present. It is understood that the ex-factory price of each bottle of Wuliangye is 469 yuan, and the wholesale price is around 490 yuan. Guotai Junan food and beverage industry analysts said that Wuliangye is unlikely to raise prices. At present, the wholesale price and ex-factory price of Wuliangye are almost the same, and there is not much room.
