On December 16, the National Development and Reform Commission website released the National Development and Reform Commission Spokesperson's Answers to Journalists on Current Economic and Social Development.

Since 2022, the National Development and Reform Commission, together with relevant parties, has promoted the construction of modern logistics system in a trinity way of "planning guidance+facility construction+policy support" around the smooth circulation of the national economy, laying a solid foundation for building a new development pattern. Specifically:

First, strengthen planning guidance and systematic planning. Report to the State Council for printing and issuing the "Fourteenth Five Year Plan" Modern Logistics Development Plan, focusing on building a modern logistics system that is adaptable to supply and demand, connected internally and externally, safe, efficient, smart and green, and making a systematic deployment for the development of modern logistics during the "Fourteenth Five Year Plan" period. This is the first national five-year plan in the field of modern logistics in China, with important milestone significance.

Second, accelerate the construction of major logistics facilities network. Steadily promote the construction of national logistics hubs, national backbone cold chain logistics bases, national demonstration logistics parks and other major logistics infrastructure networks, systematically integrate stock logistics resources, promote the construction of a modern logistics operation system of "channel+hub+network", and improve the standardized, networked, organized and intensive development level of modern logistics. Up to now, the list of 95 national logistics hubs in 4 batches, 41 national backbone cold chain logistics bases in 2 batches, and 78 national demonstration logistics parks in 3 batches has been released.

Third, we will make greater efforts to play a good investment policy "combination fist". We will implement the State Council's plan to promote effective investment, allocate about 10 billion yuan of investment from the central budget, support the construction of basic, public and quasi public logistics infrastructure with large investment scale, long construction cycle and low returns, and drive social capital to increase investment. Through policy oriented development financial instruments, we supported the construction of qualified logistics infrastructure, and the actual investment amount exceeded 24 billion yuan, effectively solving the problem of insufficient project capital. These include some major logistics infrastructure projects with large investment scale and strong driving effect. For example, the total investment of the East Guangzhou Road Railway Intermodal Transport Hub Project exceeded 45 billion yuan, and the amount of support from policy oriented development financial instruments exceeded 4.4 billion yuan. This effectively levered related supporting financing and effectively promoted the accurate expansion of effective investment in modern logistics. In addition, two warehousing and logistics projects were recommended last year to carry out real estate investment trust funds (REITs) pilot projects in the infrastructure field, which achieved good results. On this basis, we will intensify our work this year to guide relevant parties to do a good job in project reserve and declaration, and in the next step, we will actively recommend qualified projects to be included in the pilot scope. In particular, in the face of the impact of the epidemic on the logistics system, since this year, all relevant parties have implemented the requirements of "preventing the epidemic, stabilizing the economy, and ensuring the safety of development". Under the overall planning of the Leading Group of the State Council for Logistics, they have issued policies and measures such as "catch it now"+closed environment management, key material passes, truck drivers and key enterprises "white list" to fully ensure the smooth and orderly operation of transportation and logistics; Deploy national logistics hubs and other major logistics infrastructure to ensure the stability of production and living materials supply and industrial chain supply chain; Organize self inspection, self correction and rectification for the closure of expressway toll stations and service areas, ports and docks, and navigation locks; Launch emergency materials transfer stations around key cities to ensure the orderly transfer and transportation of all kinds of materials; We will strengthen the tracking and scheduling of problems related to poor logistics, supervise the transfer of handling, and resolutely curb layer by layer overweight and "one size fits all"; Cooperate with industry associations and chambers of commerce to take multiple measures to coordinate and solve the logistics needs of key enterprises; Guide all localities to improve the service guarantee of freight vehicle drivers and passengers, and provide basic living guarantee in a timely manner; A number of rescue policies involving transportation enterprises, such as tax reduction and fee reduction, 100 billion special refinancing for transportation and logistics, deferred repayment of principal and interest on loans, and deferred payment of social security, have been introduced, creating favorable conditions for unblocking the national economic cycle and promoting the construction of a new development pattern. In addition, the reporter asked: Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC), China has promoted a higher level of opening up, deepened its integration with the world economy, and promoted the construction of the domestic market. What measures have been taken by the two documents on the strategy of expanding domestic demand to better play the role of opening up in promoting domestic demand?

A higher level of opening up can provide a strong impetus for tapping the potential of domestic demand and expanding final demand. In order to implement the Outline of the Strategic Plan for Expanding Domestic Demand (2022-2035) and the Implementation Plan of the Fourteenth Five Year Plan for Expanding Domestic Demand, we will continue to open wider, wider and deeper to the outside world, attract global resource elements through domestic circulation, and promote domestic and international double circulation. We will play the role of opening up to the outside world in promoting domestic demand from the following four aspects

First, we will work together to build high-quality development along the the Belt and Road. Strengthen the connection between the international supply system and the domestic demand system, promote infrastructure connectivity, deepen international production capacity cooperation and third-party market cooperation, expand two-way trade and investment, improve the diversified investment and financing system, and build a mutually beneficial and win-win industrial chain supply chain cooperation system. We will accelerate the high-quality development of the new land and sea corridor in the western region, improve the quality of China EU scheduled trains, and promote the formulation of international land transport trade rules.

Second, promote bilateral and multilateral trade cooperation. With the construction of pilot free trade zones and free trade ports as the starting point, and with the Expo and Canton Fair as the platforms, through a higher level of opening, we will promote the circulation and upgrading of factors, relax market and industry access, improve the level of competition in the domestic market, and better connect the domestic and international markets.

Third, we continued to improve the level of foreign capital utilization. Implement the deployment of the "Fourteenth Five Year Plan" to orderly promote the opening up of telecommunications, the Internet, education, culture, medical care and other fields, reasonably reduce the negative list of foreign investment access, and continue to take the lead in the pilot free trade zone. We will further implement the Catalogue of Industries Encouraging Foreign Investment (2022 Edition), actively guide more foreign investment in advanced manufacturing, modern services, high-tech, energy conservation and environmental protection and other fields, as well as in the central and western regions and northeast China, and better play the role of foreign investment in promoting industrial transformation and upgrading, and ensuring the stability of the industrial chain supply chain. We will continue to take advanced manufacturing, high-tech and other fields as the main direction of major foreign investment projects, encourage foreign investment to participate in high-quality development of China's manufacturing industry, new infrastructure construction and innovation driven development, give better play to the demonstration role of major national foreign investment projects, promote local health mechanisms, link up and down, and provide full process services.

Fourth, steadily promote institutional openness. We will improve the management system of national treatment plus negative list before the entry of foreign investment. We will thoroughly implement the Foreign Investment Law and its implementing regulations, and further sort out laws, regulations and normative documents that are inconsistent with the Foreign Investment Law and its implementing regulations. Further implement the national treatment after the admission of foreign capital, treat domestic and foreign funded enterprises equally in government procurement, land supply, tax reduction and exemption, qualification permit, standard formulation, project application, human resources policy, etc., and solve the reasonable demands of foreign funded enterprises in a timely manner according to laws and regulations. Logistics is the main artery for the operation of various industries and even the society, and also an important support for people's livelihood. High degree of socialized service and strong conductivity, project logistics, large piece logistics service, national transportation logistics, supply chain transportation, manufacturing logistics, port logistics, domestic project transportation, terminal logistics, land and water intermodal transportation, Shanghai Chuji Supply Chain Management Co., Ltd., a professional large piece logistics company, has been engaged in industrial transportation for 20 years, personalized customization scheme, and Chuji has also made outstanding achievements in engineering logistics, freight forwarding, and highway project transportation in the past 20 years, In 2023, Chuji Logistics will develop in the direction of import and export logistics, ship leasing in China, etc. Chuji Logistics will always keep its original intention, firm confidence, and do a good job in every transportation service!
