The State Council Executive Meeting was held to study work related to deepening the implementation of “dual focus” construction, deploy measures to enhance the supply-demand compatibility of consumer goods and further promote consumption, listen to a report on implementing the spirit of the National Education Conference and accelerating the building of a strong education system, discuss the “Trademark Law of the People’s Republic of China (Revised Draft)”, and review and pass the “Funeral and Interment Management Regulations (Revised Draft)”.
The meeting pointed out that “dual focus” construction should be planned and advanced within the overall context of the 15th Five-Year Plan, firmly grasping strategic, forward-looking, and overarching requirements. Departmental coordination should be strengthened, with attention paid to integrating both software and hardware, to promote the deep implementation of major national strategies and the steady enhancement of security capabilities in key areas. Project review should be optimized, with greater emphasis on the input of innovative factors and intangible asset investment, to foster the development of new quality productive forces. The project coordination and advancement mechanism should be improved, with strict engineering quality and safety management, while simultaneously handling asset management and subsequent operation and maintenance. The pace of project construction and fund allocation should be reasonably arranged, the matching of projects and funds strengthened, and efforts made to actively leverage ultra-long-term loans, policy-based finance, and other funds, guiding more private capital participation to amplify the effects of “dual focus” construction.
The meeting noted that enhancing supply-demand compatibility is an effective measure to further unleash consumption potential and smooth economic circulation. Industrial upgrading should be led by consumption upgrading, with high-quality supply better meeting diverse needs to achieve a higher-level dynamic balance between supply and demand. The innovative application of new technologies and models should be accelerated, the integration and enabling role of artificial intelligence strengthened, focusing on key industries and sectors to develop new products and value-added services, and continuously expanding new consumption increments. Active support should be given to enterprises to expand the supply of distinctive, high-quality consumer goods, accelerating the update and upgrade of safety, performance, and green standards, and improving the certification system. Demand from different population groups should be precisely matched around segmented markets, developing a number of flexible manufacturing factories to promote efficient production responses to personalized consumer needs. New consumption scenarios and formats should be cultivated, consumption finance products and services enriched, and a favorable consumption environment fostered.
The meeting stated that over the past year, various regions and departments have earnestly implemented the spirit of the National Education Conference, effectively advancing the implementation of various tasks, and making solid strides in building a strong education system. Efforts should continue persistently, establishing and improving a coordination mechanism for the integrated advancement of education, science and technology, and talent. Centered on the needs of technological innovation, industrial development, and national strategy, more innovative talents urgently needed by the country should be cultivated. Efforts should focus on resolving prominent issues of public concern in the education sector, adapting to changes in the school-age population, coordinating the promotion of equity, improvement of quality, and optimization of layout, and continuously increasing the supply of high-quality educational resources.
