[One Week in Shanghai] The city’s “benchmark” and “bottom line”

Last weekend, the Shanghai leg of the Olympic Qualification Series was successfully held. International Olympic Committee President Bach made a special trip to Shanghai to watch the games on site. At the press conference, Bach gave Shanghai a high score of 10 for hosting the competition.

"The venues are world-class and the audience is full of enthusiasm. I think China and Shanghai have once again set a benchmark for us and set a benchmark for the organization of various Olympic events," Bach said.

On the afternoon of the 18th, Chen Jining, Secretary of the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee, said when meeting with Bach and his delegation that Shanghai will accelerate the construction of a world-famous sports city and looks forward to continuing to deepen pragmatic cooperation with sports organizations such as the International Olympic Committee, especially in the hosting of international sports events and international sports and cultural exchanges. It is to strengthen communication and mutual learning in aspects such as youth sports talent training.

Not long ago, Shanghai had just successfully hosted the F1 Chinese Grand Prix for the first time in three years. It is necessary to accelerate the construction of a modern socialist international metropolis with world influence. The intensive "performance" of global "top-level" events and benchmark events reflects the city's soft power from one side and is also an important vane for the improvement of the city's core competitiveness. effect.

"Top class" is not only reflected in sports events. In Shanghai, an important connotation of the "five centers" is to promote a high degree of convergence and high-frequency flow of various types of people, logistics, capital flows, technology flows, information flows, etc., thus reflecting the role of central nodes and strategic links.

From an industrial perspective, grasping the leading links in the industrial chain and seizing high-end areas are inevitable strategies to enhance competitiveness. In terms of the construction of international consumption center cities and the construction of international cultural metropolises, gathering "top talents" and driving "diversion" are also important development strategies.

When Chen Jining met with Xu Ruibai, vice chairman of the Shanghai Mayor's International Entrepreneur Advisory Conference and CEO of Tishman Speyer last week, he said that he welcomed the other party to seize the important opportunities of urban industrial transformation, consumption upgrading, and innovation acceleration, and give full play to his professional and resource advantages. We will further increase investment in Shanghai, actively participate in Shanghai urban renewal projects, work together to build a biopharmaceutical industry ecosystem, and create more leading and innovative landmark projects and industrial projects.

When signing a strategic cooperation agreement and discussing with the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, Shanghai stated that it will seize the opportunities of high-end, intelligent, and green manufacturing and resolutely transform and upgrade while stabilizing the industrial market.

Gathering the “top streamers” does not mean only looking at the “top streamers”. Regardless of whether it is an industry or a city, some basic and basic links have the same irreplaceable importance as the top "top".

Last week, Shanghai held meetings of the National Security Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and Shanghai Farmland Protection and Food Security Assessment Work Meetings, clearly emphasizing on strengthening responsibilities, improving mechanisms, and keeping the bottom line in the fields of national security, urban security, farmland protection, and food security.

The meeting of the National Security Committee of the Municipal Party Committee emphasized that it is necessary to better protect the new development pattern with the new security pattern and contribute to the overall security with the stability of one region. The Municipal Farmland Protection and Food Security Assessment Work Conference pointed out that in terms of farmland protection, we must do everything possible to ensure quantity, focus on key points to improve quality, strengthen full-chain management in terms of food security, adhere to "hiding food in technology", and improve quality and efficiency, quantity and quality. In the process of Qi Sheng's promotion, the relevant work will be made "more solid, more supportive and more reliable".

In the middle of the week, Chen Jining went to Shenergy Co., Ltd. for investigation, emphasizing the special significance of ensuring energy supply security and accelerating green energy transformation for Shanghai, which is related to the construction of Shanghai's "five centers" and to ensuring and improving people's livelihood. Enterprise development must be closely integrated with the city's overall development and the city's industrial transformation, take an active role in the construction of new energy systems, make every effort to maintain and ensure the security of urban energy supply, and make greater contributions to the construction of a resilient and safe city and high-quality development. contribute.

State-owned enterprises in key fields often assume the functions of "head" and "base" at the same time. They not only need to make breakthroughs at the forefront of technology and industry, but also need to support the city's economic foundation and social functions.

Similar to the investigation into the chemical industry in Shanghai Chemical Industry Zone and Huayi Group last month, Chen Jining highlighted two major issues in the investigation of Shenergy: the bottom line of safety and transformation and upgrading.

Energy supply is the lifeline of urban operation, and safety and reliability are the overriding requirements. City leaders pointed out that power supply must correctly handle the relationship between coal power and new energy, the relationship between power generation and energy storage, and ensure the relationship between inside and outside the city. We must adhere to the principle of establishing first and then breaking, taking stability as the top priority, and accelerating the construction of a city that is suitable for the future of the city. The power supply system and green transformation system required for development. Gas supply should better coordinate usage safety, reserve safety, and management safety, strengthen the concentration of producers and full-chain guarantees, strengthen bottom-line thinking and extreme thinking, continuously improve early warning and inspection capabilities and technical perception capabilities, improve intrinsic safety levels, and always ensure safety Efficient.

At the same time, relevant state-owned enterprises should take the lead, contribute and take the lead in the construction of new energy systems. We should regard the production and supply of green fuel as a long-term and strategic matter, focus on economy, stability and sustainability, and deepen the research on technical routes.

When discussing with enterprises, city leaders clearly requested to accelerate the exploration of green energy certification and make good use of blockchain technology to lay the foundation for building a green and low-carbon supply chain system. Focus on the main energy business, maintain strategic agility, seize opportunities, choose the right track, and achieve high-quality development.

There is an inseparable dialectical relationship between security and technological upgrades. On the one hand, safety is the foundation of everything and a bottom line that cannot be ignored or exceeded at any stage. A high level of security is the guarantee for high-quality development and high-level opening up.

On the other hand, the bottom line of safety in the fields of energy, chemical industry, etc. must also be maintained through more reliable technology and more innovative management and organizational methods to effectively improve the level of intrinsic safety. In other words, high-quality development also empowers high-level security.

From the perspective of the entire city, the relationship between "top flow" and "base", "benchmark" and "bottom line" often reflects this mutual support and mutual empowerment. How to grasp this relationship well, strengthen the foundation to the greatest extent, and at the same time explore ways to make breakthroughs to the greatest extent, will test the system concepts and system capabilities.
