Record of answering a reporter’s question
CCTV reporter from Central Radio and Television General Station
Affected by multiple factors such as the epidemic situation and the Ukrainian crisis, industrial production suffered a short-term impact in the first half of the year, but it generally showed a trend of stabilization and recovery. What does the spokesman think of the macro-economic "ballast stone" role of industry? What measures will the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology take to boost the industrial economy in the second half of the year? Thank you.
Tian Yulong:Thank you for your question. Just now, I also briefly introduced the general situation of industrial economy. Generally speaking, the internal and external environment faced by China’s industrial economy in the first half of this year was still severe and complicated, and all parties made strenuous efforts to promote the steady economic growth. In the first two months, the industrial economy grew more than expected and achieved a smooth start. Since March, the industrial economy has suffered a sudden shock, and there was a big fluctuation at one time. The CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core made a directional and decisive decision, and the State Council introduced a package of policies and measures to stabilize the economy, which provided strong support for the steady growth of industry from the macro level. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and relevant departments have put steady industrial growth in a prominent position and accelerated a series of measures to stabilize economic growth. The linkage of various departments has promoted the implementation of policies, and all localities have actively introduced supporting measures to do their duty and implement them. Enterprises overcome difficulties, increase horsepower and stabilize production. With the concerted efforts of all parties and Qi Xin, the industrial added value in May and June increased by 0.7% and 3.9% year-on-year. Especially in June, the manufacturing PMI returned to the top of threshold after three consecutive months of contraction, which was also very difficult. It should be said that it is very obvious that the industrial economy has stabilized and rebounded to resume growth, and it has also given full play to the "ballast stone" role of macroeconomics. There are several points:
First, from the perspective of the proportion of manufacturing industry in GDP, in the second quarter, the added value of manufacturing industry above designated size accounted for 28.8% of GDP, an increase of 1.4 percentage points over 2021, which is a very favorable signal. In terms of investment contribution, manufacturing investment increased by 7.4% in the second quarter, which was 3.2 percentage points higher than the growth rate of fixed assets investment, and the pulling effect was also reflected. Industrial exports quickly turned from falling to rising, achieving double-digit growth. The equipment manufacturing industry rebounded rapidly, especially in June, which contributed more than 70% to the overall industrial growth. The equipment manufacturing industry made great efforts, indicating that the role of our country’s equipment manufacturing industry in the industrial system is gradually reflected.
Generally speaking, in the first half of the year, the industrial economy withstood the impact and pressure, stood the test, and the achievements were not easy. It had the strong leadership of the Party, the institutional advantages of the socialist system, a complete industrial system, and super-large-scale market potential. In particular, the CPC Central Committee and the State Council issued a series of policies for steady growth, and the effective investment continued to expand, the consumption potential was gradually released, and the endogenous power of economic growth continued to increase. We believe that the stabilization and recovery of the industrial economy will not change, and the long-term positive fundamentals will not change. Of course, we are also soberly aware that the current internal and external pressures, especially the global economic slowdown and high inflation, will inevitably have an impact on trade demand, global supply chain stability and commodity prices, so the pressures we face, especially in the second half of the year, are still relatively large and complicated.
In the next step, according to the decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, we should stick to the principle of stability and strive for progress while maintaining stability, put boosting the industrial economy in a more prominent position, promote the industrial economy to operate in a reasonable range, and create a good environment for the 20th Party Congress. Take several measures:First, accelerating the promotion of a package of policies to stabilize the industrial economy has achieved results.. The implementation of a package of policies and measures to stabilize the economy, especially a series of policies to boost the industrial economy, should be accelerated, and support for local policies and measures should be strengthened and appropriately strengthened. Together with relevant departments, we should strengthen special supervision over the steady growth of industry, monitor the main indicators such as the proportion of added value and investment in manufacturing industry, and establish a perfect notification system. Continue to strengthen policy interpretation, to benefit all kinds of enterprises, so that enterprises can get greater benefits, strengthen their confidence in development and boost market expectations.
The second is to guide the expansion of investment and consumption demand.. The "Tenth Five-Year Plan" has been implemented, and a number of major engineering projects and industrial technological transformation projects have started. In particular, the construction of new information infrastructure such as 5G, Gigabit optical network and industrial Internet should be started as soon as possible. At the same time, increase the guiding role of consumption. Just now, we talked about organizing "three products" nationwide activities, continuously promoting the activities of new energy vehicles going to the countryside and green building the countryside, cultivating information consumption demonstration cities, guiding consumption with a series of measures, and expanding investment.
The third is to ensure the stable and smooth supply chain of the industrial chain.. It is a crucial step to focus on key regions, key industries and key enterprises, so that enterprises can achieve stable production and restore production capacity. In particular, we have established a "red, yellow and blue" early warning mechanism to ensure the price stability of key products and the docking of supply and demand of bulk products, so that the supply of bulk products and upstream raw materials can be in place in time, and at the same time, we have done a good job in ensuring the fertilizer use for "three summers" and "autumn and winter planting".
The fourth is to increase assistance to small and medium-sized enterprises to solve problems.. Generally speaking, small and medium-sized enterprises still have some difficulties. We should carry out special actions to prevent and resolve the arrears of accounts for small and medium-sized enterprises, especially to reduce the burden on enterprises, promote the comprehensive supervision of small and medium-sized enterprises, and make the policies fall to the ground. At the same time, in order to improve the service system of SMEs, it is necessary to increase the policy of benefiting enterprises and improve accurate services. Now SMEs need more accurate policies to achieve results, and we must continue to work hard in this regard. This is the key measure to be taken in the second half of the year. Thank you all.

My problem is that the consumer goods industry is an important livelihood industry and traditional advantage industry in China, and it is also the supply basis for expanding domestic demand. In the next step, how will the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology promote the high-quality development of the consumer goods industry and what measures will it take to enhance its supporting role in the industrial economy? Thank you.
Deputy Director of Operation Monitoring Coordination Bureau of Ministry of Industry and Information Technology:Thank you for your question. Consumer goods industry covers all aspects of people’s food, clothing, housing and transportation, education, medical care and health care, and plays an important role in attracting employment, earning foreign exchange through exports and promoting economic development. Most consumer goods industries in China have a high degree of marketization, entered the international market early and have strong viability. From January to June this year, the added value of consumer goods industry increased by 4.6% year-on-year, showing strong development resilience. Recently, our Ministry, together with relevant departments, has successively issued guiding opinions on the high-quality development of chemical fiber, industrial textiles and light industry, as well as the "Three Products" Action Plan for Digitizing Consumer Goods Industry "and other policies to deepen the supply-side reform of the industry and promote the high-quality development of the industry. In the next step, we will focus on the implementation of the "three products" strategy of increasing varieties, improving quality and creating brands, and work together from both ends of supply and demand to continuously improve the supply capacity of consumer products and services, fill shortcomings, promote upgrading, increase stamina, benefit people’s livelihood and better meet people’s needs for a better life.
The first is to upgrade consumption with product innovation.. Focusing on the needs of people’s livelihood such as health, medical care, old-age care, child-rearing and home care, we will support and promote enterprises to effectively integrate new consumption elements such as customization, experience, green, intelligence and fashion in the process of product design and manufacturing, lead and create new demands with independent innovation, cultivate new formats, new scenes and new models, create new growth points, and continuously meet consumers’ multi-level, personalized and high-quality consumption needs.
The second is to boost consumer confidence by improving supply.. In the industries of clothing and home textiles, household appliances, food and medicine, we will speed up the cultivation of a number of intelligent manufacturing demonstration factories, and realize the coordinated development of life-cycle quality control and production and marketing. Accelerate the construction of quality traceability system for key consumer goods, optimize traceability information inquiry service, so that consumers can buy and use with peace of mind, and constantly boost consumer confidence.
The third is to promote consumption growth with high-quality brands.. In order to give further play to the lasting pulling effect of consumption on economic development, in the third quarter, our department focused on carrying out the series of activities of "Three Products" nationwide in 2022, organized relevant localities and departments, industry associations and e-commerce platforms, and increased the publicity and promotion of outstanding enterprises and products by holding special promotions, professional exhibitions and industry activities, so as to launch good products, win good reputation and promote steady growth. thank you

At present, the problem of poor connection between industrial production and marketing still exists, and some industries and enterprises are also facing certain difficulties. What other arrangements does the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology have for stabilizing the industrial economy in the next stage? Thank you.
Tao Qing:Thank you for your question. Affected by unexpected factors at home and abroad, the industrial economy has been briefly impacted since March. Since May, the industrial economy has gradually stabilized and rebounded, as the package of policies and measures to stabilize the economy has achieved remarkable results. From the perspective of the industry, it presents the following characteristics:First, production in most industries has rebounded.. Among the 41 major industries, the added value of 33 industries achieved positive growth in the first half of the year, and the growth rate of 9 industries reached double digits; In May and June, the growth rate of added value of 33 industries and 27 industries rebounded from last month.Second, the supply chain of key industrial chains has been accelerated.. After a brief decline in April, the added value of the equipment manufacturing industry, which was greatly affected by the epidemic, resumed positive growth in May, and the growth rate reached 9.2% in June. In particular, the recovery of the supply chain of the automobile industry chain is more obvious. In June, the added value of the automobile manufacturing industry changed from 7% in the previous month to a substantial increase of 16.2%, which effectively boosted the overall industrial growth.Third, the growth of high-tech manufacturing industry has not diminished.. In the first half of the year, the added value of high-tech manufacturing industry increased by 9.6% year-on-year, which was significantly higher than that of the whole industry. Among them, the added value of electronic manufacturing industry increased by 10.2%, maintaining double-digit growth continuously, and the situation of transformation and upgrading has not changed.Fourth, some energy and raw materials industries maintained rapid growth.. The policy of ensuring supply and stabilizing prices continued to exert its strength. In the first half of the year, the added value of the mining industry increased by 9.5% year-on-year, of which the growth rate of the coal industry exceeded double digits and the output of potash fertilizer increased by 9.4%.Fifth, the supply of people’s livelihood products is strong and effective.. In the first half of the year, the added value of refined tea industry of wine and beverage increased by 8.4% year-on-year, the production of food, agricultural and sideline foods and other industries grew steadily, and the supply of daily necessities was sufficient.
At the same time, we should also see that due to the differences in industrial development cycle and the impact of epidemic situation, the operation of enterprises in different industries still has certain differentiation. Some middle and lower reaches industries are facing the double squeeze of high price fluctuation of bulk raw materials and insufficient market demand, and some consumer goods industries are lagging behind, so the production and operation of small and medium-sized enterprises still face great difficulties.
In the next step, we will focus on enterprises in difficult industries, highlight key points, implement policies in different categories, further smooth the supply chain cycle of the industrial chain, accelerate the improvement of the level of stable production, increase the efforts to ensure the supply and price stability of energy and raw materials, focus on expanding the demand for industrial investment and consumption, accurately implement various policies to help enterprises out, continuously improve the balance and stability of industrial economic recovery and development, and continuously consolidate the good foundation for industrial economic stabilization. thank you

New energy vehicles handed over a bright transcript in the first half of the year. Earlier, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology said that it was studying whether to continue the preferential policy of vehicle purchase tax for new energy vehicles. Excuse me, is there any progress in this work at present What are the next steps to promote the consumption of new energy vehicles? Thank you.
Tian Yulong:Thank you for your question. Since the beginning of this year, the development of the new energy vehicle industry has attracted the attention of all parties. Because it is closely related to the people, our enterprises have overcome the impact of the epidemic, and the new energy vehicles in our country have achieved steady and rapid development, which is also eye-catching in the world. There are three main highlights:
First, the scale of production and sales has reached a new high.. According to the latest situation, in June, the production and sales of new energy vehicles were 590,000 and 596,000 respectively, both of which increased by 1.3 times year-on-year. Overall, in the first half of the year, the production and sales of new energy vehicles were 2.661 million and 2.6 million respectively, both of which increased by 1.2 times year-on-year. From the perspective of the whole production and sales scale, it was a new high, with a market penetration rate of 21.6%.
Second, technological innovation has made some new breakthroughs.. The newly developed lidar, domestic chip and vehicle-mounted basic computing platform have all realized the application of loading, and continuously improved the level of technological innovation. New breakthroughs have also been made in energy batteries. The energy density of mass-produced ternary batteries has reached the highest in the world, 300 WHr/kg, and that of cobalt-free batteries has reached 240 WHr/kg. These indicators are very eye-catching. Semi-solid batteries are close to mass production, and our industrial competitiveness in power batteries for new energy vehicles is very strong.
Third, the supporting system has been accelerated and improved.. In the first half of the year, 1.3 million new charging and replacing facilities were built, a year-on-year increase of 3.8 times, including 920,000 private piles and 380,000 public piles. There are many people who buy new energy vehicles, and the demand is strong, so the construction of public facilities is very important. At present, more than 10,000 power battery recycling service points have been built, and the retired batteries are basically recycled nearby, which is convenient for users.
You mentioned about the exemption of purchase tax, which was generally concerned by everyone, and the State Council attached great importance to it. The Standing Committee asked relevant departments to seriously study the extension of exemption of new energy vehicle purchase tax in light of the actual situation. At present, our relevant departments are stepping up research and releasing relevant results as soon as possible.
Generally speaking, China’s new energy vehicles have entered a stage of rapid development. Stabilizing and expanding the consumption of new energy vehicles is an important way to ensure the stable development of the automobile industry, which is also an important work move behind us. In accordance with the decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, we will further expand the promotion scale of new energy vehicles with relevant departments, promote automobile consumption, and make positive contributions to stabilizing the economic market. Mainly in several aspects: First, continuously improve the quality of product supply. Constantly improve the safety technical standards of new energy vehicles and the performance levels of power batteries, including out-of-control alarm, safety protection and low-temperature adaptability, so that consumers can buy and use with confidence. At the same time, it is necessary to speed up the integrated development of electrification and intelligent networking technology, develop more service functions suitable for consumers’ needs, and continuously improve the driving experience and modernity. On the other hand, actively create a good use environment, strengthen industry monitoring, and do a good job in ensuring the supply and price stability of automobile chips and upstream raw materials, which has a great impact on the automobile industry. Do a good job in ensuring stable supply and price, and fully guarantee the stable and smooth supply chain of the industrial chain. We will implement the State Council’s demand to steadily increase the consumption of automobiles and other commodities, and encourage qualified places and regions to introduce consumption promotion policies with high gold content. Qi Xin made concerted efforts to do a good job in a new round of new energy vehicles going to the countryside, organized and implemented a pilot project of fully electrifying public facilities in cities, accelerated the construction of charging and replacing facilities, and promoted convenient measures such as information sharing and unified settlement, so that the consumption of new energy vehicles, safe driving and the stable development of the whole industry could be coordinated. Thank you.

The stability of the industrial chain supply chain is very important for the recovery and growth of the industrial economy. What measures did the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology take in the first half of the year to ensure the stable and smooth supply chain of the industrial chain? In the second half of the year, what other considerations are there in promoting enterprises to achieve stable production? Thank you.
Tao Qing:Thank you for your question. Industrial chain supply chain is the bone and blood of industrial economy. Since March, affected by the epidemic situation and other factors, the supply chain of the industrial chain once faced many blocking points, which led some industrial enterprises to stop production. Our department resolutely implements the decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, and takes the smooth supply chain of industrial chain as the primary task of steady industrial growth in accordance with the general requirements of "preventing the epidemic, stabilizing the economy and ensuring safe development", and promptly adopts a series of measures in conjunction with relevant departments and localities to fully ensure the stable and smooth supply chain of industrial chain.
First, focus on key areas and make every effort to get through the blocking points.. Establish a daily scheduling mechanism for key provinces and cities at the first time to coordinate and solve problems such as blocked logistics and transportation, and poor connection between upstream and downstream. Send a working group in front to strengthen cross-regional coordination and do a good job in closed-loop management and stable production under the conditions of epidemic prevention and control in key areas.
The second is to focus on key enterprises and establish and implement a "white list" system.. Focus on key areas such as key materials for medical and epidemic prevention, essential materials for residents’ life, important materials for agricultural production, and key materials for strategic industries, and release the "white list" of key enterprises to smooth the key nodes of the industrial chain supply chain. At the same time, it will guide more than 20,000 "white list" enterprises around the country to achieve regional mutual recognition and promote collaborative resumption of work and production.
The third is to focus on key industries and promote upstream and downstream docking services.. We will build a supply chain coordination platform for key industrial chains such as automobiles, integrated circuits and medical materials, establish a "red light" early warning mechanism for spare parts inventory of automobile enterprises for less than three days, and a "red, yellow and blue" early warning coordination mechanism for bulk raw material supply, so as to promote the solution of raw material supply, employee return to work, logistics and transportation and other problems reflected by enterprises one by one. As Mr. Tian just introduced, the national industrial and information system coordinated and solved more than 54,000 enterprise problems in a timely manner, helping the upstream and downstream to resume work and production simultaneously.
With the joint efforts of various regions and departments, the supply chain of industrial chain has become increasingly smooth, and the industrial economy has quickly reversed the downward trend and achieved a resumption of growth. At present, industrial enterprises above designated size in the Yangtze River Delta and Pearl River Delta regions have resumed normal production, and the production capacity of key industrial chains such as automobiles and integrated circuits has also fully recovered.

At present, some small and medium-sized enterprises severely affected by the epidemic are facing great operational difficulties. May I ask the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology what measures have been taken to support small and medium-sized enterprises in the first half of the year, and what considerations will be taken next? Thank you.
Tian Yulong:Thank you for your question. As you said, small and medium-sized enterprises have always been concerned by all sectors of society, and they have been greatly affected by the epidemic and the superposition of various factors. The CPC Central Committee and the State Council attached great importance to it, and issued a series of policies intensively. As you may have seen from the newspaper, these policies are combined, including tax incentives, improving the standard of returning to stable jobs, solving the financing problems of small and medium-sized enterprises, and reducing property fees and rents. These measures have played a great role in helping small and medium-sized enterprises. According to the latest data, as of June 25, the total amount of tax refund, tax reduction, fee reduction and tax deferral in China is about 2.58 trillion yuan, and the main beneficiaries are small and medium-sized enterprises. The CPC Central Committee and the State Council really reduced the burden on small and medium-sized enterprises, enabling them to recover from difficulties.
The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, as a comprehensive department for the work of small and medium-sized enterprises, has implemented the arrangements of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council with relevant departments and taken various measures to help small and medium-sized enterprises tide over the difficulties. The effect has gradually emerged.
First, promote the introduction and implementation of various policies to benefit enterprises.. The the State Council Leading Group for Promoting the Development of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises has held several meetings to study, and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has issued "Several Measures for Strengthening Efforts to Help Small and Medium-sized Enterprises Solve Difficulties", with 10 specific measures in four aspects, which are very practical and strive to solve the practical difficulties faced by small and medium-sized enterprises. At the same time, we should conscientiously implement the measures to stabilize the economic package policy issued by the State Council, further strengthen the support for small and medium-sized enterprises to solve problems, and all departments and localities should work together to implement the measures and policies, so that small and medium-sized enterprises can get benefits as soon as possible and have a sense of experience and gain. At the same time, we will work with relevant departments to carry out comprehensive supervision on the implementation of these policies and reduce the burden on enterprises, promote and guide all localities to increase the implementation of policies, benefit small and medium-sized enterprises as soon as possible, and help them tide over the difficulties and develop as soon as possible.
The second is to mobilize all forces to increase services to small and medium-sized enterprises.. The key to the implementation of policies is to do a good job in services. We have launched two actions nationwide, one is the "SME Service Month" and the other is the "Benefit Enterprises Together" service action, which unites local governments to carry out policy service activities for SMEs, so that these policies can enter enterprises, parks and clusters, and provide policies, technology and management for SMEs, so that enterprises can turn around from their predicament as soon as possible. Generally speaking, from January to June, all kinds of SME service organizations organized various activities such as policy publicity, coordination and assistance, and served SMEs for more than 20 million times. The efforts were still relatively strong, and the sense of gaining, experiencing and harvesting SME policies was more obvious.
The third is to improve the professional ability and level of small and medium-sized enterprises.We should not only solve difficulties, but also promote long-term development. The development of small and medium-sized enterprises is also an important source of power for our country to stabilize employment and growth. We have established a gradient cultivation system for small and medium-sized enterprises, including innovative small and medium-sized enterprises, specialized and innovative small and medium-sized enterprises and specialized and innovative "little giant" enterprises. We have carried out "joint action" to promote the combination of upstream and downstream of large, medium and small enterprises, so that small and medium-sized enterprises can develop as soon as possible and make them develop together and make common progress. Accelerate technological transformation, carry out digital empowerment actions for small and medium-sized enterprises, and further enhance their core competitiveness and technological innovation capabilities. Recently, together with the Ministry of Education and the Intellectual Property Office, we launched the "Thousands of Schools and Enterprises" collaborative innovation partnership action to promote in-depth cooperation between small and medium-sized enterprises and colleges and universities, accelerate the tilt of scientific and technological achievements in colleges and universities to small and medium-sized enterprises, and accelerate the transformation of achievements. This is of great significance, which has enabled small and medium-sized enterprises to have more sources of innovation and get more support.
Fourth, do a solid job in clearing up the accounts owed to SMEs.. This is a key work we have done in recent years. By carrying out special actions to prevent and resolve the arrears of accounts, we have concentrated on solving the stock arrears at present, and at the same time, we have strictly guarded against new arrears and constantly improved the long-term mechanism. In particular, we have established relevant channels to accept complaints from SMEs in arrears in various provinces, making it more convenient for enterprises to handle complaints in a timely manner. Strengthen the mechanism of complaint acceptance and transfer, tracking and supervision, and protect the legitimate rights and interests of small and medium-sized enterprises.
In the next step, in view of the above four aspects, we should continue to deepen, do a good job in implementing policies and measures with relevant departments, mobilize resources and strength from all sides, and strengthen publicity and services. Pay close attention to the development of small and medium-sized enterprises and make good policy reserves. Constantly improve the service system and improve the service level. Combine bail-out with training, encourage and guide small and medium-sized enterprises to innovate, transform and upgrade, improve quality and efficiency, and become better and stronger. Strengthen the protection of rights and interests, so that small and medium-sized enterprises can overcome the current difficulties and achieve stable and healthy development as soon as possible. This is the top priority of our current and next work, and we hope to get strong support from all walks of life. Thank you.
