However, the streets and alleys of the North Jiangsu Free Trade Zone are still crowded with people, and the cold weather cannot stop the fiery enthusiasm of the people in the Free Trade Zone.
The newly appointed State Councilor Miao Qiang inspected the North Jiangsu Free Trade Zone in the rain.
Standing on the top floor of Xinzhong Building in the Free Trade Zone, overlooking the freighters coming and going in the entire Free Trade Zone dock, Chen Jing stood aside and introduced him to the development of the Free Trade Zone in the past five years.
After listening to the report, Miao Qiang nodded repeatedly and said passionately:
"The North Jiangsu Free Trade Zone has been done well, with huge domestic influence and good international feedback. Through the practice of the Free Trade Zone, our country's reform and opening up has taken a big step forward and has truly integrated with the world. We in the Northern Jiangsu Five
The results achieved in deepening reforms since 2016 have provided a good blueprint for continued reforms in other regions across the country, and your experience is worth learning from across the country."
He paused, changed the topic, and said: "There is a young provincial party committee secretary in North Jiangsu, and there is also a young leadership group in North Jiangsu. Because you are young, you are more energetic, and you dare to think and do things. In the past five years, you have
In the work, under the leadership of Comrade Hu Junzhong and Comrade Chen Jing as secretaries respectively, great achievements have been made.
On behalf of the Central Committee and the State Council, I give you high recognition for this."
Thunderous applause broke out.
Comrades in Northern Jiangsu are all high-spirited. In the past five years, Northern Jiangsu has gone through many difficulties in deepening reforms.
The first challenge faced by the establishment of a free trade zone is the traditional and inherent local protectionist forces.
Although Northern Jiangsu has been at the forefront of development in recent years, heavy protectionism still exists in various places.
The government acts as a strong backing for protectionism. In order to compete for projects, tax revenue, land, and brands, each locality has its own strategies and methods.
The industries, companies and even industries protected by local protectionism are extremely large vested interest groups.
These interest groups have vast powers, and some even have connections that have penetrated into the top levels of the central government. This force is stubborn and powerful, far exceeding any prior expectations.
Even the free trade reform in northern Jiangsu triggered a big discussion between the "left" and the "right" within the party about deepening the reform.
Some people even used the theory of socialism with republican characteristics of the leader of the Southern Patrol to resist or even resist the reform attempts in northern Jiangsu.
They emphasized that what the head of the Southern Tour proposed was socialism with characteristics, not ****.
The Republic has its own national conditions. It has a vast territory, abundant resources, a large population, multi-ethnic integration, and a complex humanistic environment. Reform should be gradual and have its own characteristics.
What is Northern Jiangsu proud of?
This is Northern Jiangsu’s unique “Northern Jiangsu Model!”
The core of the Northern Jiangsu model is to develop characteristic economies in each region and highlight the regional characteristics of the economy.
Through regional economy, the unique industrial advantages of each region are established to form core competitiveness. In this process, the government's active coordinating role in economic development is emphasized. The government coordinates planning, guides and encourages, and plays a role in the North Jiangsu model.
important role.
Now that Northern Jiangsu is going to deepen reforms, the first step is to redefine government functions. If this is not to overthrow the "Northern Jiangsu Model", what is it?
This big debate is about the fate of the entire reform. It does not even involve personal grudges. The debate is about big rights and wrongs.
In this wave of controversy, Su Bei seemed to be lost.
It was because of this dispute that Hu Junzhong, the former top leader of the provincial party committee in northern Jiangsu, mishandled it, which eventually triggered a fierce local group incident, and the central government had to consider changing his position.
Hu Junzhong's resignation has attracted intense attention from domestic and overseas media.
Who is Hu Junzhong? The most senior reformist in the Republic, a person who personally experienced the two Southern Inspection Tours as the head of the Southern Inspection Tour.
Its reputation is not only well known in China, but also many people in the world are aware of its existence.
What does it mean to lead the reform in northern Jiangsu but fail in such a heavyweight task?
Does this mean that the goal of deepening reforms set within the party cannot be achieved?
Many foreign media, especially Western media, have generally begun to pessimize the Republic's reforms.
It brought out many problems such as the shortcomings of the Republic's political system, the unsustainability of the Republic's development, the structural crisis encountered by the Republic, etc., which were further exaggerated.
As a result, Northern Jiangsu has become a very embarrassing existence, which was originally the benchmark established by the central government.
However, this benchmark encountered a setback midway, and the entire leadership team of the Northern Jiangsu Provincial Party Committee fell into a leaderless situation.
Now that Hu Junzhong is gone, who will be responsible for this stall in Subei?
Just when domestic and foreign sources were in full swing, the Central Committee held a Political | Bureau meeting. The meeting determined that Chen Jing, then governor of Northern Jiangsu Province, would take over as the top leader of the provincial party committee of Northern Jiangsu Province, and the candidate for the governor was determined to be the same as Chen Jing.
Comrade Wang Fengfei, whom Beijing is very familiar with.
This decision shocked the political arena of the Republic and dumbfounded many political observers at home and abroad.
Chen Jing has always been hailed as a benchmark figure among the new generation of cadres in the Republic, and he is also a cadre who firmly supports reform.
Although Hu Junzhong is so senior, he has not been able to lead this deepening reform in northern Jiangsu. Can Chen Jing be the leader in northern Jiangsu?
To be sure, the central government’s decision means that the central government’s determination for reform has not changed, which is major good news.
However, the central government asked Chen Jing, who was only 42 years old at the time, to manage such a large and powerful province as Northern Jiangsu. Does this reflect its trust in Northern Jiangsu, or does it reflect the central government's gradually changing attitude and views on work in Northern Jiangsu?
?
Amid countless doubts, Chen Jing took up the position of top leader in Northern Jiangsu Province.
After taking office, the first thing Chen Jing did was to launch a province-wide anti-corruption campaign and make major adjustments to cadres.
When talking about deepening reforms, he made the strongest statement to reporters at home and abroad.
He said that the reforms in northern Jiangsu are pilot projects determined by the central government, and as a pilot project, northern Jiangsu is allowed to make mistakes.
Now there are many different opinions at home and abroad about deepening reforms. Public opinions are right, and mother-in-laws are right. Under such circumstances, the team in Northern Jiangsu will actively and courageously try. They are not afraid of breaking their heads and bleeding, but are afraid of boiling frogs in warm water.
, and in the end, I did nothing.
Work must be done to deepen reforms, and efforts to break the circles of vested interest groups must be further intensified.
The Provincial Party Committee has drafted a number of documents specifically aimed at reform, and the North Jiangsu Provincial Party Committee will strictly implement these documents.
When facing the media, Chen Jing put forward the theory of "empty talk harming the country" and argued that all arguments against deepening reforms because one's own interests are threatened are pale.
After decades of reform and opening up, some people have taken advantage of this wave of reform and have become accustomed to skirting around the edges. Now it is time for the dividends of reform to be reaped by everyone.
Chen Jing hopes that these people who are playing side games and making money from connections will no longer have any illusions on the ground in Northern Jiangsu. The society in Northern Jiangsu will establish a completely fair and just social competition system, and people who are making money from connections will not be welcome.
The day after Chen Jing’s speech.
The Discipline Inspection Commission of Northern Jiangsu Province announced a large list of cadres involved in corruption. This list shocked the country and was once called the "Northern Jiangsu blacklist" by the media.
This list involves five leaders at the department level or above, three leaders at the deputy department level, ten leaders at the division level, and 18 other personnel, a total of thirty-six people.
In order to investigate these cadres, the Northern Jiangsu Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection reportedly seconded thousands of disciplinary inspection cadres from other provinces to complete this work.
Through this series of reviews, a large number of companies and individuals in the realm have been implicated in suspected violations of laws, bribery, and unfair competition.
A powerful anti-corruption campaign has arisen in the officialdom and business circles of northern Jiangsu.
Chen Jing's move shocked the world, and his strong and decisive image finally allowed domestic and foreign media to see the iron fist of the youngest secretary in the history of northern Jiangsu.
After dealing with the corruption problem, Northern Jiangsu successively held the Party Congress, the People's Congress, and the CPPCC. Through various meetings, Chen Jing began to systematically put forward the theory of deepening reforms and launched a vigorous unified deepening of reforms throughout the province.
Special activities on thinking.
Chen Jing proposed that officials at any level in Northern Jiangsu must study hard, think deeply, and summarize the necessity of deepening reforms in Northern Jiangsu and the specific goals to be achieved.
Chen Jing spent a whole year in order to lay a solid foundation for reform and unify the thinking of the top and bottom.
After a year of preparation for the world, the idea of deepening reform in northern Jiangsu has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the mass base has been unprecedentedly stable.
Under such circumstances, the Northern Jiangsu Free Trade Zone was vigorously delineated, the detailed rules for financial reform in Northern Jiangsu, and relevant policy documents for the establishment of financial reform pilot projects in Northern Jiangsu began to be issued.
The vigorous campaign to deepen reforms in northern Jiangsu began.
During the past two years of deepening reforms, Chen Jing, as the top leader, has almost always been at the center of the political arena of the Republic.
The domestic influence is gradually strengthening as the reform in northern Jiangsu continues to deepen and achievements continue to be made.
Internationally, he has also become a key research subject for foreign media to study the reform of the Republic.
Western media even likened Chen Jing to a leader-level figure in the future republic.
And because Northern Jiangsu has been reforming along the way, we have initially seen the dawn of victory.
Foreign media's evaluation of the entire Republic has also begun to rise.
Foreign media commented that the leaders of the Republic always have outstanding wisdom and can always take decisive and powerful measures to reverse the situation at the bottleneck stage of national rejuvenation and social development.
The political system of the Republic is, in a sense, more advanced than that of Western countries.
Because under the system of the Republic, reforms have become more active, more thorough, and more vigorous.
From officials to the people, everyone is united and united, which also ensures the success of the reform.
It is impossible for Western countries to do this. Democracy in Western countries is nothing more than a two-handed fighting game hijacked by interest groups and representing the fundamental interests of the wealthy class... (To be continued)
