Chapter 539: Controversy
"Prime Minister, what do you think about this?" At the current Standing Committee on Economic Work, which was urgently convened at the request of the premier, Chief No. 1 looked at the briefing note in his hand, got a preliminary understanding of the corresponding situation, and asked, "Is there a complete solution on the part of the State Council?" ”
"General Secretary, our solution now is to first hold relevant consultations with the EU side to see if there is any room for recovery, and then consider the next step?" The Prime Minister replied.
"Consultation? How is the Ministry of Commerce going to negotiate with the other party now? Are we going to make concessions first? The No. 1 chief frowned, he knew the cause and effect of this matter, and he was worried about it some time ago, of course, now he knows that several Standing Committee members in the Standing Committee who supported the implementation of trade countermeasures against the EU are actually behind the economic support forces.
Negotiations require conditions for concessions, is the Ministry of Commerce and Trade ready to compromise this time? If this is the case, then China will be a complete loser in this trade dispute and a joke.
The Prime Minister was silent, and it was clear that Chief One was exactly what they were going to say.
Because in this matter, the prime minister's focus is on protecting jobs, the textile and toy industry in the face of such a heavy blow, according to the textile association and the toy association report estimates, the two industries to transmit the ripple effect, will likely be one-third of the manufacturers bankruptcy or a significant reduction in production on the verge of bankruptcy, conservative estimates, at least will affect more than 3 million jobs.
The release of such a large number of unemployed troops in a short period of time is enough to affect the stability and unity of the entire society, and the prime minister's family, who have little interest in nuclear power and the automobile industry, of course, prefer a conservative solution that calms things down.
Looking at the Prime Minister's expression, Chief No. 1 knew that his guess was correct, and that they were really preparing for negotiations with such an idea.
The No. 1 chief raised his eyebrows and was about to speak, when Zhao Chuhua, a member of the Standing Committee next to him, suddenly said: "I don't think there is any problem in sending people to negotiate, but it can't be our concessions, the ins and outs of this matter are now relatively clear, this is the first time that Europe and the United States have made unreasonable moves towards our enterprises that led to our retaliatory measures, if we send people to talk now, first with a concession plan, I think this negotiation is mostly fruitless." ”
"Now textiles and toys are basically low-end labor-intensive production, we are very competitive in the world, basically relying on the sweatshop model, selling our cheap labor to survive space, this I think itself is very problematic, we can't keep such an industry and damage more promising industries, such as nuclear power is expected to occupy the commanding heights of future energy supply."
Zhao Chuhua is not a supporter of any of the three of Duke and them, he is the big man behind CNNC, who has been promised by Dongfang Nuclear Power to enter the world nuclear power generation market in the future to provide comprehensive technical support, as well as the two giants of Southern Nuclear Power, and now sees a huge market cake in front of him, of course he refuses to let go.
For these two major nuclear power companies, they are not short of money, what they lack is market opportunities, the total control of domestic nuclear power generation, coupled with the impact of the original series of nuclear safety accidents, is to suppress the development of domestic nuclear power, and now it is not easy to start a new round of nuclear power construction in China, but the number is far from being able to meet their appetite.
If they have the opportunity to enter the international nuclear power generation market, with the low cost of the operation of the lotus reactor, they can obtain extremely considerable profits in this regard, the number of power supply shortages in the international market is not something that Dongfang New Energy can win, and China Nuclear Power and Southern Nuclear Power can only meet some of these needs, so this market space is simply high for China Nuclear Power and Southern Nuclear Power.
In this case, Zhao Chuhua must of course take precautions in advance to avoid the final sacrifice of nuclear power in China in exchange for the temporary safety of the textile and toy industries.
"Lao Zhao, if we don't give in, how can we solve the current problem?" Although he obviously has a weak feeling about the general secretary and prime minister, because the prime minister does not have few supporters in the hands of the Standing Committee and is often in a weak position, the prime minister does not have so many scruples about Zhao Chuhua, a figure who is not a descendant of the general secretary.
Because even if he shows weakness, a self-contained figure like Zhao Chuhua will not lean towards him.
"It should be eliminated, we have shouted how many years to eliminate backward production capacity, but in fact, this protection and such subsidies, backward production capacity has not been reduced," Zhao Chuhua said cleanly, "Just like small thermal power, which is polluting and wasteful, isn't it not yet eliminated?" ”
Seeing Zhao Chuhua again on the old topic of electricity, the prime minister can't help but have a big head, Zhao Chuhua has always been a clear banner to demand that all domestic small thermal power plants be banned and closed, on the one hand, to solve the problem of serious pollution, on the other hand, to make market space for new energy such as nuclear power, but behind every small thermal power is involved in the intricate local interests, although the state has issued a guiding document to complete it within a time limit, but there is not much action at the local level.
They would rather use state subsidies to hold on to this small thermal power plant that cannot make ends meet, rather than turn it off, because there are too many local interests entangled, and it is difficult for the local government to operate without corresponding economic compensation with one or two guiding documents. But when it comes to using money, the country is full of holes, and there is definitely no way to come up with this money.
"The elimination of backward production capacity can not affect people's livelihood on a large scale," while Cao Xuezhi, a member of the Standing Committee who usually interacts with the prime minister, stood up and retorted, "If the EU sanctions continue like this, thousands of enterprises in our textile and toy industry will go bankrupt, and millions of new unemployed people will be added. ”
"We can't just see the bad side," said Li Shunde, a member of the Standing Committee, who is a supporter of nuclear power like Zhao Chuhua and a big man behind nuclear power in the south, so his views on this matter are close to Zhao Chuhua's, "We restrict the import of automobiles, which is also a big boost for the domestic automotive industry, according to the calculation of the entire industry, if the more than one million cars are all satisfied by domestic production, the entire industrial chain will be driven by millions of jobs." ”
"Because the automobile industry to the related industries pull the ratio of about 1 to 3 to 1 to 5, from automotive raw materials to automotive after-sales service, each car contains a lot of employment opportunities, according to expert research, the automobile industry provides 1 job for every job, to create 10 to 15 jobs for upstream and downstream industries, this together between a fall, I think it is a good opportunity for industrial upgrading."
……
As soon as the topic is opened, the issue of trade disputes has gradually evolved into industrial disputes, which is another big proposition, and each industrial planning meeting often quarrels for several weeks without a clear result, especially since each Standing Committee member has its own interests and concerns, and today is no exception.
