The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

On the eve of the two sessions.

Just as delegations from various provinces and cities arrived in Beijing one after another, a meeting was held in the capital.

This meeting was held as the topic has been brewing over the past few days, and countermeasures were discussed based on public opinion polls.

At the beginning of the meeting, the heads of the ministries and commissions responsible for the various topics involved responded one after another, which were some countermeasures.

“In terms of food safety, we should formulate the Agricultural Product Safety Law and the Food Safety Law. We must have laws to follow, laws must be followed, and violations must be punished. At the same time, governments at all levels and government departments such as agriculture, health, drug supervision, quality inspection, industry and commerce must clearly define their responsibilities in food safety supervision to avoid buck-passing and wrangling!” Liu Tao believes that food safety is an issue that must be resolved.

After all, with the development of society, food safety issues have become imminent.

The groups under Panshan Group are engaged in the trade of grain, beef, mutton, seafood, etc., and they take food safety issues very seriously.

However, this may not be the case for other domestic companies and other units.

Problems such as excessive use of fertilizers and pesticides are endless. Market quality control cannot keep up, and it is not uncommon for agricultural, health, drug supervision, quality inspection, industry and commerce and other departments to shirk responsibility and wrangling with each other, and the penalties are light.

Coupled with the legal aspect, this aspect has existed from the mid-to-late 90s to the present, which is almost ten years.

Before this, this issue was not prominent because few people paid attention to it.

But after the millennium, more people paid attention to it, and the problem began to become prominent.

Regarding education issues, Liu Tao proposed to implement twelve years of compulsory education.

Nowadays, nine years of compulsory education seems a little insufficient. Children graduate from junior high school at the age of 16. What can they do at the age of 16?
Still a minor!

Liu Tao proposed a diversion program for higher vocational education, with students with better academic performance going to high schools and students with poorer academic performance going to vocational colleges. Both high schools and vocational colleges should adopt a three-year system.

Although it is a diversion to higher vocational education, all students are allowed to take the college entrance examination.

It’s just that vocational and technical colleges will start to learn more about certain professions, such as chefs, car repair, etc.

As for the merger of rural primary schools, this is inevitable. In the past, there was a primary school in one or two villages, but now it is no longer possible because there are not so many students.

It is also imperative to improve the treatment of rural primary school teachers and allow more normal school students to go to rural areas, so as to improve primary education in rural areas and secondary education in urban areas.

As for key schools and key classes, even if they are cancelled, it will not change because the foundation of the school is there. It does not mean that they will no longer exist if they are cancelled. That is like covering one's ears and stealing the bell, which is not realistic.

In addition, in terms of education, various miscellaneous fees will be abolished and schools will be prohibited from charging fees under various names.

Long before, the country abolished tuition fees for primary and secondary schools, but schools still charge miscellaneous fees under various names. As a result, the education burden on farmers has not been reduced, but has increased instead.

Liu Tao wants to promote the country to form a special inspection team to inspect various provinces and cities and deal with each case found.

You know, the country's annual allocation for education is far higher than its military spending, but problems still arise.

One of the issues is education.

Panshan Group implements free education, including free education in kindergarten, primary school, middle school and high school. Even food and accommodation are free, and it doesn’t cost much in a year.

So Liu Tao has a good idea about education. As for housing prices, Liu Tao has no opinion. If you say housing prices are high, they are not high, and if you say they are low, they are not low either.

However, the country already has a low-rent housing policy, and low-rent housing is built every year to provide a bottom line, but everyone wants to buy better commercial housing, so there is nothing we can do about it.

What the country can do is to build some low-rent housing to curb the rapid growth of housing prices and provide a bottom line support, and then control the quality of commercial housing while also ensuring the interests of both parties.

In terms of medical reform, Liu Tao proposed the formal implementation of the centralized purchasing system and strengthening the management and control of hospitals. Currently, China's medical system is still dominated by public hospitals and supplemented by private hospitals, and there are not many private hospitals.

Of course, there is another issue at this meeting, which is the issue of central and local financial allocation.

On March 3, the third session of the 5th National People's Congress opened, accompanied by the military band playing the national anthem, which also marked the official arrival of the two sessions.

The eyes of the whole world are focused on China's two sessions.

More than 200 overseas media gathered at the two sessions of China and presented them to the whole world.

At this point, China's every move affects the whole world, and no one can ignore it.

The two sessions allow us to see whether China's focus is internal or external, what its internal focus is, what its external focus is, and whether China's foreign policy will change.

China's policies affect all aspects.

Then, the whole world is watching: will China’s military spending increase further?
Of course, there are also some countries that are studying China's two sessions system.

Sure enough, this time China’s two sessions did not disappoint.

When looking at the hot topics of China's two sessions and the government's press conference, everyone can clearly see that China places more emphasis on domestic political management, while its external policies remain continuous, still emphasizing that peace and development are the development of the times, and still emphasizing win-win cooperation.

As for military spending, which everyone is concerned about, it has further increased, and the increase is mainly used to improve the treatment of soldiers.

The national security defense system appeared for the first time in military and national government reports.

When Liu Tao was asked in an interview when the Type 002B aircraft carrier would be put into service, he smiled and said, "It will be soon," and asked everyone to wait patiently.

With the closing ceremony of the two sessions, it also means the end of the two sessions. What China will do in the coming year is basically laid out.

There are many wealth codes contained in this, and it often leads to changes in the entire industry.

For example, the Ministry of Education announced that it will further strengthen rural education, increase investment in rural education, and propose twelve years of compulsory education for the first time.

This news will bring about disruptive changes to the entire education industry, and both schools and tutoring institutions will be deeply affected.

Then came the Ministry of Health, which announced that it would formally unify the centralized procurement. The centralized procurement pilot work has been going on for many years. Now it has officially changed from a pilot work to a formal one and will be promoted nationwide.

The pricing power of drugs and medical devices will be transferred from local governments to the national level, thereby lowering the prices of drugs.

Of course, this will also involve further reforms in medical institutions. (End of this chapter)
