Core view: Yang Fei, columnist of the Economic Daily - China Economic Network, believes that 2021 is not only a year of special importance in the process of China's modernization construction, but also a key year for Hubei's economic recovery and revitalization. Under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee, giving full play to the advantages of the system, and gathering the strength of the sons and daughters of Jingchu, Hubei will certainly make greater achievements in speeding up the "building of a fulcrum, walking in the forefront, and writing a new chapter."
There are always some memories that are unforgettable. The camera pulls back to January 2020, when the COVID-19 pandemic arrived unexpectedly. It is the most serious infectious disease pandemic that has occurred in the world in the past hundred years, and it is a major public health emergency with the fastest transmission speed, the widest scope of infection and the greatest difficulty in prevention and control since the founding of New China. At 10 o'clock on January 23, Wuhan's buses, subways, ferries, and long-distance passenger transport were suspended, and the airport, railway station and other passages from Han were temporarily closed. Since then, until 00:00 on April 8, the "lockdown" of Wuhan has lasted for 76 days and 1814 hours.
"The epidemic is the order, and prevention and control is the responsibility." After the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the Party Central Committee united and led the people of all ethnic groups across the country to quickly launch a people's war, an overall war and an obstruction war for epidemic prevention and control. Hubei and Wuhan are the top priority and decisive places in the fight against the epidemic. If Wuhan wins, Hubei wins, and if Hubei wins, the whole country wins. The heroic people of Hubei and Wuhan have made great sacrifices for everyone. Under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee, the Wuhan defense war and the Hubei defense war have achieved decisive results, the overall promotion of epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development has achieved remarkable results, and Hubei has made Hubei contributions to the national anti-epidemic struggle to achieve major strategic achievements, epidemic prevention and control and economic recovery "walking in the forefront of the world", vividly interpreting the Chinese spirit, Chinese strength and China's responsibility. Today, Hubei is moving steadily on the road of high-quality development.
The basic disk is stable, and the high-quality development is full of confidence. In 2020, in the face of the impact of the epidemic, from the "press suspension" in the first quarter to the "restart and recovery" in the second quarter, and then to the "comprehensive recovery and acceleration" in the second half of the year, Hubei's economic operation stepped out of the "check-in" recovery trajectory and stabilized the basic economic disk. The data shows that in 2020, the GDP of Hubei region has recovered to more than 95% in 2019, imports and exports have increased by 8.8% against the trend, 750,000 new jobs have been created in cities and towns, and 58,000 remaining poor people have all been lifted out of poverty... A number of data are enough to show that Hubei's economy is basically stable, which is also where the strong foundation of high-quality development lies.
The new momentum is strong and the high-quality development momentum is full of momentum. The new stage needs new kinetic energy, and the new kinetic energy leads to new development. Accelerating the cultivation of new kinetic energy is an important way to promote high-quality development. In the extraordinary year of 2020, 17 enterprises in Hubei entered the top 100 list of the national science and technology innovation index. According to the data in the "Yangtze River Economic Belt High-quality Development Index Report", Hubei Science and Technology Innovation Index ranks fifth in the entire Yangtze River Economic Belt provinces. Under the policy "Dongfeng" of the central government's support for the high-quality development of the central region in the new era and the revitalization of Hubei after the epidemic, strong new momentum will promote the high-quality development of Hubei to a new level.
Energetic and full of confidence in high-quality development. The people are the creators of history, and the people are the real heroes. "As long as we closely rely on the people, we will certainly be able to overcome all difficulties and obstacles and realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation." During the epidemic period, the people of Wuhan and Hubei, who are not afraid of hardships and dangers, have made great sacrifices and major contributions to the national fight against the epidemic. Today, the heroic people of Wuhan and Hubei are in high spirits, striving for "progress" on the premise and basis of "stability" with the state and style of "fighting," "grabbing," and "realizing."
"Socialism is done, and the new era is struggled." 2021 is not only a year of special importance in the process of China's modernization construction, but also a key year for Hubei's economic recovery and revitalization. The journey is long, but there is only struggle. Under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee, giving full play to the advantages of the system, and gathering the strength of the sons and daughters of Jingchu, Hubei will certainly make greater achievements in speeding up the "building of a fulcrum, walking in the forefront, and writing a new chapter."
