Major project investment helps China’s economy move forward steadily.

　　From the Gobi Desert to the banks of Jinsha River and then to the eastern seashore, a number of major projects have been started, accelerated and reported frequently, and the land of China has made concerted efforts to make a "good start" and help China’s economy move forward steadily.

　　In the Jinsha River Gorge at the junction of ningnan county, Sichuan Province and Qiaojia County, Yunnan Province, the surging river from the upper reaches was stopped by a towering dam, showing the magnificence of "High Gorge Pinghu".

　　This is the hydropower project with the highest technical difficulty and the largest single machine capacity in the world — — Baihetan Hydropower Station has just achieved the goal of putting all units into operation at the end of 2022. At this point, six giant cascade hydropower stations on the main stream of the Yangtze River are "connected in a string", forming the world’s largest "clean energy corridor". A drop of water sends electricity six times, and green electricity runs through the west and east.

　　During the New Year’s Day, more than 1,000 builders stuck to their posts to ensure the safe and stable operation of the million-kilowatt hydropower unit, and at the same time, did all the finishing work of the project in an orderly manner. "We will complete the follow-up work with high quality and draw a successful conclusion for the Baihetan project." Wang Zhilin, director of Baihetan Engineering Construction Department of Three Gorges Group, said.

　　The torrent of dreams rushes forward, and the pace of struggle keeps trudging.

　　2023 is the first year to fully implement the spirit of the 20th Party Congress. The beginning is related to the overall situation, and the beginning determines the later stage.

　　"At present, China’s economic development does face some difficulties and challenges, but this is a problem in progress. China’s economy has strong resilience, great potential and full vitality, and its long-term positive fundamentals have not changed. As the effects of various policies continue to emerge, the economic operation in 2023 is expected to rebound overall. " Zhao Chenxin, member of the party group and deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission, said in an interview with the media recently.

　　Insufficient total demand is a prominent contradiction facing the current economic operation. The Central Economic Work Conference regards "focusing on expanding domestic demand" as the key task in 2023, emphasizing "giving full play to the basic role of consumption and the key role of investment".

　　"It is necessary to effectively promote the investment of the whole society through government investment and policy incentives, and form a virtuous circle of reserving a batch, building a batch and completing a batch." Zhao Chenxi said.

　　Focus on 102 major projects in the 14 th Five-Year Plan and make efforts to accelerate the construction of major projects. Appropriately advance infrastructure investment, increase investment support in manufacturing industry, strengthen the construction of food security, energy security, industrial chain supply chain security and other fields, and strengthen support for major issues to protect people’s livelihood needs … … Increase investment in key areas and weak links, and major engineering projects have become an important starting point.

　　On the first day of the new year, 177 major projects were started in Fuzhou in the first quarter, with a total investment of 98.3 billion yuan, involving industrial development, infrastructure, social livelihood and other fields; The first batch of market-oriented projects in xiong’an new area — — Xiong’ an Dianjian Zhihui City ushered in the first phase of opening operation, and more than 40 enterprises concentrated in it.

　　During the New Year’s Day, CNOOC Guanlan, China’s first far-reaching offshore wind power platform invested and built by CNOOC China, completed the final assembly of the floating body in Qingdao site of CNOOC Engineering, marking the important progress in the construction of the world’s first "Shuangbai" offshore wind power project with a water depth of over 100 meters and an offshore distance of over 100 kilometers.

　　The construction of northwest China, where the temperature has dropped to below zero during the day, is still hot. Thousands of workers are busy every day at the photovoltaic project construction site of the 3 million kilowatts new energy base in Tengger Desert, Longyuan Power of the National Energy Group. The project is the largest photovoltaic sand control base project in China. After completion, the annual power generation can reach 5.78 billion kWh, which can save 1.92 million tons of standard coal, reduce 33,900 tons of sulfur dioxide emissions, 50,000 tons of nitrogen oxides and 4.66 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions.

　　"Catch the early" to start a good game, and "make full efforts" to seize the opportunity. On the land of China, major engineering projects are being built with high quality and advanced with high standards, and the grand goal is being turned into a beautiful reality step by step.

　　Struggle to create miracles, strength comes from unity, and policies should also lay a good combination of punches to stimulate synergy.

　　According to reports, the relevant departments will further optimize and adjust the investment structure within the central budget and concentrate on doing major, difficult and urgent things well. Actively do a good job in the preparation of local government special bond projects, and promote the construction of special bond projects as scheduled. We will accelerate the construction of policy-oriented development financial instrument projects and form more physical workload as soon as possible. We will accelerate the release of financial interest subsidies for special refinancing loans for equipment renewal and transformation and the effectiveness of medium and long-term loans for manufacturing industries, and promote the steady growth of investment in manufacturing industries. Supervise and guide all localities to continuously improve the project reserve mechanism.

　　Zhao Chenxi stressed that it is necessary to boost the confidence of private investment. Strengthen the financing support of private investment projects through the investment and financing cooperation docking mechanism, and support private investment to revitalize existing assets in various ways. Improve the investment environment, encourage and attract more private capital to participate in the construction of major national projects and short-board projects.

　　"Major engineering projects are the basic disk and starting point for economic stability and long-term, and also an important foundation for achieving coordinated development between urban and rural areas and regions." Sun Chuanwang, a professor at the School of Economics of Xiamen University, believes that accelerating the construction of major projects is conducive to promoting effective investment in the whole society, promoting the steady growth of investment in important areas, and better supporting the accelerated improvement of economic operation.

　　"In 2023, China’s development has a good foundation and more favorable conditions. We are confident, qualified and capable of promoting the overall improvement of economic operation and achieving effective improvement in quality and reasonable growth in quantity." Zhao Chenxi said.

　　Take advantage of the historical trend and follow the right path in the world. The expedition full of glory and dreams has begun. Let’s forge ahead and work hard. Tomorrow’s China will be even better. (Reporter Wang Lu)
