Recently, with the approval of the State Council, the National Development and Reform Commission issued several policy measures to further enhance the level of the Hongqiao International Open Hub. The reporter interviewed the responsible comrades of the National Development and Reform Commission on this matter.

Q: Please introduce the background and process of the implementation of the Policy Measures.

Answer: The construction of Hongqiao International Open Hub is a major layout promoted by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council to implement the integrated development strategy of the Yangtze River Delta, and is a landmark event in the process of integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta. In February 2021, the State Council officially approved the Overall Plan for the Construction of Hongqiao International Open Hub and issued it for implementation by the National Development and Reform Commission. With the joint efforts of all relevant parties, the "one core, two belts" functional layout of Hongqiao International Open Hub has initially taken shape, and the high-end business, exhibition, and transportation functions have continued to improve. The integration of science and technology innovation industries is deepening, and the various tasks deployed in the Overall Plan have gradually been implemented and achieved phased results.

In order to further enhance the level of the Hongqiao International Open Hub, enhance the linkage effect of domestic and international markets and resources, and actively serve the construction of a new development pattern, we have organized relevant parties to evaluate the implementation of the Overall Plan. Through on-site research, discussions, and written solicitation of opinions, we have widely listened to opinions and suggestions from all parties, and based on this, we have studied and drafted the Policy Measures. After the completion of the Policy Measures, we commissioned relevant parties to conduct an evaluation, and after obtaining approval from the State Council, they were released for implementation.

Q: What are the main contents of the Policy Measures?

Answer: The "Policy Measures" revolve around strengthening the Hongqiao Business District as the "core", optimizing and refining the "north expansion belt" and "south expansion belt", leading and driving the higher quality integrated development of the entire Yangtze River Delta region, and proposing 24 specific measures.

The first part is to strengthen the core functions of Hongqiao Business District. The Hongqiao Business District is a hub in the Hongqiao International Open Hub. The "Policy Measures" closely grasp the "bull nose" of enhancing the core functions of Hongqiao Business District, focusing on supporting the development of high-energy headquarters economy, high flow trade economy, high-end service economy, and high-level exhibition economy, creating a functional composite international central business district and a new platform for international trade centers. Five specific measures have been proposed, including piloting international high standard e-commerce rules, cultivating and developing knowledge intensive service trade, and taking the lead in piloting the policy of integrating domestic and foreign currency funds pool for multinational companies.

The second part is to promote the integrated development of "one core, two belts". The northward expansion zone composed of Hongqiao Changning Jiading Kunshan Taicang Xiangcheng Suzhou Industrial Park, and the southward expansion zone composed of Hongqiao Minhang Songjiang Jinshan Pinghu Nanhu Haiyan Haining, together constitute the important two wings of Hongqiao International Open Hub. The Policy Measures focus on supporting the use of "one core" radiation to drive "two belts", and supporting the service of "one core" with "two belts" characteristic functions. They propose 11 specific measures, including building a high-level regional innovation network, opening up cross provincial and city road testing for intelligent connected vehicles, conducting comprehensive reform pilot projects for high-quality development of comprehensive bonded zones, and exploring mutual recognition and sharing of medical examination and testing results.

The third part is to lead the higher quality integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta. The Hongqiao International Open Hub is a major platform for the four provinces of Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Anhui to promote higher-level collaborative opening up, and is an important gateway for the Yangtze River Delta to connect with the international community. The Policy Measures focus on strengthening the construction of functional platforms for serving the Yangtze River Delta region, promoting the linkage development between Hongqiao International Open Hub and cities in the Yangtze River Delta region such as Hefei and Wuhu, gradually achieving resource sharing, policy sharing, and platform co construction. Eight specific measures are proposed, including improving international aviation service capabilities, jointly building cross regional rail transit networks, and constructing a full chain scientific research service system.

Q: In recent years, the construction of the Hongqiao International Open Hub has achieved phased results. What are the new considerations for promoting the further upgrading of the Hongqiao International Open Hub in the "Policy Measures" issued this time?

Answer: Hongqiao International Open Hub is one of the regions with the strongest development vitality, greatest potential, and highest openness in the Yangtze River Delta region. It shoulders the important mission of leading the Yangtze River Delta region to better participate in international cooperation and competition. To further enhance the level of the Hongqiao International Open Hub, the Policy Measures highlight the synergy of innovation, openness, and facilities in accordance with new development needs.

One is to highlight innovation collaboration more prominently. Striving for innovation is striving for development, and striving for innovation is striving for the future. The Hongqiao International Open Hub has abundant innovation resources, a strong innovation atmosphere, and high innovation capabilities. In order to further strengthen the integration of advantages and achieve strong alliances, the Policy Measures focus on promoting the orderly flow of innovation factors, building a high-level regional innovation network, and other detailed and practical measures to further enhance the overall innovation capacity of the region, and promote scientific and technological innovation as the "key variable" to become the "maximum increment" of high-quality development.

The second is to highlight more openness and collaboration. "Openness" is a natural gene inherent in the Hongqiao International Open Hub. The Hongqiao International Open Hub is the axis of the two sectors of internal and external opening up. In order to further enhance overall strength through collaborative opening up, the Policy Measures focus on detailed and practical measures such as resource sharing, policy sharing, and platform construction. We actively do a good job in opening up and work together to create a new engine of strong and active growth poles.

Thirdly, more emphasis should be placed on facility collaboration. Hongqiao originated and flourished in transportation. Building a smooth and convenient comprehensive transportation gateway is an important goal of the construction of Hongqiao International Open Hub. In order to accelerate the construction of a gateway hub connecting international and domestic infrastructure, the Policy Measures focus on the interconnection and refinement of infrastructure such as aviation, water transportation, rail transit, and data, continuously improving the hub's level, enhancing resource allocation capabilities, and collaborating to build the "Rainbow Bridge" connecting international and domestic infrastructure.

Q: How to effectively implement the "Policy Measures"?

Answer: Next, we will focus on implementing the work from three aspects:

One is to fulfill the main responsibility of compaction. Urge the four provinces of Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Anhui to effectively fulfill their main responsibilities, further improve their work mechanisms, carefully organize and implement them, and solidly promote the implementation of various policy measures. For matters involving only a single province or city, supporting policies should be introduced as soon as possible; For matters that need to be jointly promoted across provinces and cities, the existing working mechanism should be utilized to strengthen communication and coordination, jointly formulate work plans, and ensure that all policy measures are implemented and effective.

The second is to strengthen overall planning and coordination. The National Development and Reform Commission will actively work with relevant departments to strengthen coordination and guidance according to their respective responsibilities, and provide active support in policy arrangements, reform and innovation, and project implementation. At the same time, we support the four provinces of Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Anhui to fully mobilize the enthusiasm of all parties, conduct collaborative research and promotion, and accelerate the transformation of policy dividends into development momentum.

The third is to strengthen tracking and supervision. The National Development and Reform Commission will continue to follow up on the implementation of the Policy Measures, regularly schedule progress, summarize results, coordinate supervision and coordination, timely study and strive to solve new situations and problems discovered during the implementation process, and ensure that all work forms a closed loop.

On the evening of June 1st, the US Senate passed a bill on the federal government's debt ceiling and budget, and the flame of the US debt bomb was temporarily extinguished at the last moment. The two parties in the United States have staged an extreme tug of war over the US debt bomb. Some experts believe that the US debt crisis is the result of the reckless politics promoted by the US dollar hegemony, and the underlying cause of this crisis is the highly polarized political system of the US. Since the end of World War II, the US Congress has adjusted the debt ceiling more than a hundred times. The recurring debt crisis will not only have a catastrophic impact on the US economy and people's livelihoods, but also continuously erode the value of US dollar assets such as government credit and US bonds, bringing significant and far-reaching impacts to the global economic landscape. 【
