Through the feedback from surveys in various places, it is concluded that the local protectionism is very serious, and it has also caused obstacles to the implementation of the market economy to varying degrees.
Local protectionism is a long-standing and difficult problem in the development of the market economy, and in a narrow sense, local protectionism is understood as the use of administrative power in the hands of local governments to implement economic differential treatment between local enterprises and foreign enterprises, to protect the normal production behavior of local enterprises, or to provide a protective umbrella for their illegal behaviors such as making and selling counterfeits, or violating environmental protection regulations such as pollutant discharge.
If understood in a broad sense, it should also include administrative intervention in the reorganization and merger between enterprises, and provide additional subsidies or preferential treatment to enterprises within their own administrative areas.
There are many manifestations of local protectionism, such as prohibiting or restricting the entry and sale of foreign products by issuing local regulations and documents, forcing or indirectly forcing the local government to sell, purchase and use only local products within its administrative area, or to accept only the services provided by enterprises within its administrative area, or the local government requires foreign products to go through examination and approval procedures that are stricter than those of its local products or adopts discriminatory policies for products entering the local area, setting up customs cards, charging additional fees or imposing different tax standards. It is also possible that in terms of technical and quality requirements, different standards are adopted for products outside the administrative region than those of the products within the administrative region, repeated inspection and certification, and there is also a form of giving certain preferential treatment and subsidies to enterprises within the administrative region, so that enterprises outside the administrative region and enterprises within the administrative region can not carry out fair competition at the same level.

It can be said that the current problem encountered by Shen Ying's Confucian banquet wine is a very typical local protectionism, and the local government has issued local laws and regulations to force its own administrative region to restrict the entry and sale of foreign products, creating obstacles to the normal market sales of foreign goods.
There is a lot of information in this regard in the information that Fan Wuxian has obtained so far.
He contacted CCTV, sent a focus interview, and arranged a total of five film crews to conduct unannounced visits, of which the targets of the unannounced visits included the liquor industry, agricultural materials, building materials, cleaning supplies, medical supplies, etc. (Download the latest and most complete e-book S/O/S/O/9/9/9/.COM)
Naturally, things are still pushed behind the scenes, otherwise CCTV would not dare to take such a big responsibility, and at the same time to do something to five industries, in this way, it will target many local governments.
Local protection arose because local governments faced a conflict between a high degree of political centralization and a high degree of economic decentralization.
The reform of the financial system has led to the decentralization of economic powers, which has led to the basic interests of local governments, and now these interests are mainly reflected in the number of projects, the number of enterprises built, and the economic growth rate.
In the case of limited capacity of the local market and the temporary inability to open the foreign market, the local government will inevitably ensure the maximization of local fiscal revenue and promote the development of the local economy by strengthening the localization of resource allocation and protecting the local market. (S/O/S/O/9/9/9/9/.COM) and because of the administrative decentralization, local governments have greater resource allocation rights, thus also providing the possibility of maximizing local economic interests.
It can be seen from this that the existence of local governments' self-interests and the continuous enhancement of local governments' administrative powers are the hotbeds for local protectionism.
Since the central government introduced the tax-sharing system, the momentum of local protectionism has become more and more vigorous, and the high-level officials have seen this issue very clearly, but they have not taken any targeted measures for the time being.
However, this time, after Fan Wuxian raised this issue with great importance and mobilized his resources to collect a large number of negative impacts and obstacles caused by local protectionism on the promotion of the market economy, the top management could no longer turn a blind eye.
The reason is also very simple, that is, Fan Wuxi will never do meaningless things, and the things he solemnly brings up must be very critical issues, especially his economic foresight is unmatched. (Download the latest and most complete e-book S/O/S/O/9/9/9/.COM)
After conducting intensive unannounced visits to more than a dozen provinces and municipalities across the country, the five film crews of CCTV's focus interview program finally returned to Beijing in mid-January and obtained more intuitive and convincing first-hand information.
Although Fan Wuxian did not give any hints to CCTV, CCTV directly mentioned the issue of local protectionism in the liquor industry to the most important position.
This is not to say that CCTV is currying favor with Fan Wuxian because of where Shen Ying's identity as the third bid king is placed, it is the image that CCTV should focus on maintaining that makes this signboard fall, which has a great impact on CCTV's bid king auction activities, and another reason is that seeing that the Spring Festival is approaching, the safety of liquor and sales
They are the issues that the people are most concerned about, and with this as a starting point, it is more possible to:
Because the program has been a bit long, this time the focus interview program has been held for three episodes, mainly starting from the local protection, fake liquor, and sales links of the liquor industry, and using a large number of detailed undercover footage to explain the current problems in the entire liquor industry, and the in-depth comments drawn from this reveal the great harm of local protectionism. ()
Especially in response to the behavior of some local governments to use administrative regulations to provide protection for the local liquor industry, the host of CCTV's focus interview column said that such behavior is unbelievable and unheard of, which is not only unfair commercial competition, but also a crazy trampling on the current laws and regulations.
In the end, the host changed his words and introduced the topic of counterfeiting and selling counterfeits that the people are most concerned about, "At this stage, counterfeit and shoddy goods in our country are flooded, from food, tobacco and alcohol, cleaning supplies, medical supplies, household appliances that are closely related to people's lives to agricultural materials, building materials, communication equipment, automobiles and their accessories, and large machinery and equipment, all of which are spared, and it can be said that counterfeit and shoddy goods are almost pervasive." () Why counterfeiting is so rampant, it should be said that local protectionism is the social root cause of its rampant spread. ”
"Local protectionism is a social phenomenon based on local interests, and local protectionism has become a common phenomenon in China at the present stage, and it has developed from a single administrative means to the use of economic, administrative and even judicial means to safeguard local interests."
"The protectionism of local departments is contrary to the law and essence of the market economy, and in areas where local protectionism is practiced, local governments have erected protective barriers, so that the law of competition cannot fully play its role, and at the same time negate the principles of equal competition, free trade, and survival of the fittest. It subordinated the operating rules of the market itself to administrative rules, severed the normal market ties between regions, caused the orderly flow of various commodities and factors of production, hindered the development and growth of the socialist unified market, and resulted in the formation of a state of local monopoly and separation. ”
"This state provides a good soil for the breeding and growth of counterfeit and shoddy goods, forming a situation where genuine products from the outside cannot come in, and fakes are rampant inside, so that residents have to buy goods with high prices in the local geology. This phenomenon may bring prosperity to local economic development in the short term, but this prosperity is only a false superficial phenomenon, which cannot inject real vitality into local economic development in essence, on the contrary, it will only hinder the development of local economy, and even become a stumbling block to local economic development. ”
"Local protection services act as an umbrella for shoddy people. Some local leaders believe that they are for the sake of the interests of their own regions and departments, and mistakenly regard obtaining huge profits from counterfeit and shoddy products as a panacea for making a fortune and even a panacea for promoting the economic development of their own regions. They only see the financial revenues brought about by the manufacture and sale of counterfeit goods, but ignore the harm and impact of counterfeit and shoddy goods on the entire national economy. They turn a blind eye to the counterfeit and shoddy distribution centers, and not only do they not rectify or ban them, but they even open the door to convenience, as long as the profits and taxes completed each year are large, thus providing a space for survival in the illegal act of manufacturing counterfeit and shoddy goods. ”
"In some areas, fines are imposed in lieu of punishment, and compared with the windfall profits obtained from the production and sale of counterfeit goods, fines can only be said to be symbolic; this method not only does not have the slightest deterrent effect on lawbreakers, but on the contrary, they have found a reasonable reason for their existence, and they have become more unscrupulous and intensified in manufacturing and selling counterfeit and shoddy goods."
"In some areas, counterfeiters collude with government leaders and social underworld forces, under the guise of economic development, to excuse and intercede for counterfeiters who make and sell counterfeits, and form layers of protection networks. It can be seen that under the protection of local organizations, the production and sale of counterfeit goods will become more rampant, and the result of the proliferation of counterfeit and shoddy goods will make some places become distribution centers for counterfeit goods. If we do not thoroughly break down local protectionism, we will not be able to fundamentally eradicate the root causes of the manufacture and sale of counterfeit and shoddy goods. ”
After turning off the TV, Fan Wuxian received a call from Shen Ying.
"The things I prepared haven't been used yet, CCTV is just like this, I knew I wouldn't have to toss so hard.
Shen Ying said to Fan Wuxian without complaint.
Fan Wuxian laughed, but didn't say anything else.
Although Shen Ying's tone was a little complaining, she was very happy in her heart, after all, CCTV did this, and the local government had to restrain it for a while, and the Spring Festival was the peak season for liquor sales, and now the sales of Confucius Mansion banquet wine are going to rise sharply.
"By the way, there's something I don't know what to do." Shen Ying said to Fan Wuxi.
