Let more life-saving and emergency-saving drugs enter medical insurance —— The construction of dynamic adjustment mechanism of medical insurance catalogue in China has entered an accelerated period.

Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, February 15th Title: Let more life-saving and emergency-saving drugs enter medical insurance-The construction of dynamic adjustment mechanism of medical insurance catalogue in China has entered an accelerated period.

Xinhua News Agency reporter Chen Fang, Zhang Quan

The change of medical insurance catalogue is related to the well-being of hundreds of millions of participants.

Zero tariff on imported anticancer drugs, medical insurance negotiation, centralized drug procurement organized by the state … Since 2018, China has taken a series of measures to promote drug price reduction.

The executive meeting of the State Council recently pointed out that China will speed up the frequency of adjusting the medical insurance drug list and include more life-saving anticancer drugs and other drugs into medical insurance. This means that the construction of the dynamic adjustment mechanism of China’s medical insurance catalogue has entered an accelerated period, and the people are expected to gain more happiness.

Anti-cancer drugs enter medical insurance, and patients no longer look forward to "drugs"

The movie Dying to Survive, which was a big hit last year, aroused widespread concern about anticancer drugs in society. Once, "a pill" dragged down a family. Now, anticancer drugs have entered medical insurance, bringing hope to more families.

With the comprehensive promotion of medical reform, the "combination boxing" of drug price reduction policy has been implemented one after another and achieved practical results. Accelerating the adjustment frequency of medical insurance drug list and bringing more good drugs into medical insurance have become the key links to benefit patients.

For lung cancer patients with T790M gene mutation, the third-generation targeted drug oxitinib has obvious curative effect, but for Mr. Wang of Anhui Province, the "sky-high price" of a box of 50,000 yuan once made him look forward to "medicine". After the national medical insurance negotiation and inclusion in medical insurance, the burden of medical expenses has been greatly reduced.

The relevant person in charge of the National Medical Insurance Bureau said that in order to allow patients to enjoy more good drugs without causing a serious deficit in the medical insurance fund, China has reduced the drug price through price negotiation and squeezed out the unreasonable part of the drug price.

In October 2018, 17 kinds of anticancer drugs, including oxitinib, were included in the Category B scope of the National Drug List of Basic Medical Insurance, Work Injury Insurance and Maternity Insurance (2017 Edition), and the medical insurance payment standard decreased by an average of 56.7% compared with the retail price.

By the end of last year, medical institutions and pharmacies nationwide had purchased about 1.84 million tablets (tablets/unit) of 17 kinds of anticancer drugs negotiated by the country at the negotiated price, with a total purchase amount of 562 million yuan, which saved 918 million yuan in procurement costs compared with the pre-negotiated price, and reduced the cost burden after medical insurance reimbursement by more than 75%.

To meet the people’s drug demand, the national medical insurance drug list "grows again and again"

Since the first edition of the national medical insurance drug list was formulated in 2000, it has been revised in 2004, 2009 and 2017, and the coverage of drugs has been increasing. When the 2017 edition of the National Medical Insurance Catalogue was released, it contained a total of 2,535 drugs. During the revision process, four types of clinical drugs, such as children’s drugs, innovative drugs, major disease treatment drugs and ethnic drugs, were given key support.

The incidence of chronic diseases and malignant tumors has increased, and the number of patients with rare diseases has continued to increase … At present, the spectrum of diseases in China’s population has changed significantly. Compared with the drug demand of the masses, there is still much room for improvement in the updating frequency, catalogue proportion and structure of the national medical insurance catalogue. For example, in 2018, the first batch of 121 rare diseases listed by the state that patients in urgent need of treatment drugs have not been included in medical insurance; Hummel, the "global drug king" who has 17 indications and treats a variety of rheumatic immune diseases, is also out of the catalogue.

In May last year, China published the First List of Rare Diseases, in which 121 rare diseases such as multiple sclerosis were included. In July, National Medical Products Administration approved the marketing of Obadiah in China for the treatment of relapsing multiple sclerosis, which is the first oral disease correction drug approved in China for the treatment of multiple sclerosis.

"No matter whether it is a rare disease or a chronic disease, a disease that causes a huge economic burden to patients is a serious illness." Wang Chen, an academician of China Academy of Engineering and director of Peking Union Medical College of China Academy of Medical Sciences, said that biological agents are the most effective drug for treating some chronic diseases at present. If patients can get timely and standardized treatment, they will maximize their quality of life. We should use the medical insurance mechanism to assume the social responsibility of benefiting more patients, give full play to the scientific guiding role of the medical insurance mechanism in the medical ecology of the whole society, encourage the research and development of drugs for the treatment of rare diseases, and make the basic drug list and the basic medical insurance list and other related systems reasonably connected and linked.

Dynamic adjustment mechanism is the key to let more good drugs enter medical insurance.

The Central Economic Work Conference held not long ago clearly stated that "more life-saving and emergency-saving medicines should be included in medical insurance". The the State Council executive meeting held on February 11th once again proposed to speed up the registration and approval of new anticancer drugs at home and abroad, organize experts to select new overseas drugs that are urgently needed in clinic, improve the import policy, and promote the simultaneous listing of new overseas drugs in China. Smooth the temporary import channels of anticancer drugs urgently needed in clinic.

"For the people, this is a great benefit." Wang Bo, a special researcher at the National Center for Drug Policy and Pharmaceutical Industry Economics of China Pharmaceutical University, said that the most important thing now is to explore and establish a dynamic adjustment mechanism. It is necessary to strengthen the evaluation method of pharmacoeconomics, realize the selection method of combining clinical recommendation, industry association and enterprise application, and narrow the gap between people’s growing health demand and medical service supply level as soon as possible.

As a local innovative practice, medical insurance in some provinces and cities has included new drugs and good drugs which are urgently needed by patients, greatly improve the quality of life of patients and their families, have clear curative effects and are clinically necessary, and achieved good benefits. For example, Xiumeile, which is used to treat autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis, has been included in the serious illness medical insurance system of eight provinces, cities or units such as Qingdao, Shandong and Shenzhen, Guangdong in China.

Wang Bo believes that the country urgently needs to establish a mechanism of "making medicines well and getting good results". In the future, the coverage of the national medical insurance catalogue should be further expanded to more fields, so as to realize "regular approval of enterprises, regular review of medical insurance and regular update to meet the requirements". With the steady progress of a series of measures such as encouraging the research and development of innovative drugs and facilitating the listing of new drugs, more life-saving and emergency-saving good drugs can be accelerated.

By December 10, 2018, National Medical Products Administration Drug Evaluation Center had received and processed more than 1,500 applications for communication and exchange, including more than 600 applications for anti-tumor drugs, and the progress of innovative drug research and development of domestic pharmaceutical companies entered the expressway.

This year, China will cancel the declaration requirement that some imported drugs must be listed overseas before they can apply for import, encourage global innovative drugs to be developed simultaneously at home and abroad, and attract more cancer treatment drugs to be listed in China. While improving the quality of drugs and reducing the price of drugs, we will guide enterprises to increase innovation.

 

Land Rover’s cheapest model, starting from 209,800, buys a medium-sized SUV, and comes standard with 2.0T

Lead: It is mentioned that you may think of domineering and hard-core ones, and the discovery series was also the talk of off-road veterans in the past. However, today we don’t talk about, defend, and discover that the price reduction is very severe.

Who would have thought that Land Rover, which you couldn’t afford in the past, can now be bought at the price of an ordinary joint venture SUV, and how much is it-209,800? Yes, you heard it right. From 209,800, I bought Land Rover, although I found the sports version.

You know, it is found that although the sports version is the cheapest model of Land Rover at present, its guide price also needs 359,800-446,600 yuan, and it is also a 350,000+class model.

However, with the 350,000 Discovery Sport Edition, how can consumers be willing to pay the bill in today’s automobile market? After all, today, more than 300 million people can buy better models, such as the ideal L series for family attributes, the 400 and Series for hardliners, the luxury style and so on.

The Discovery Sports Edition, which was sold in the early 200,000 s, is much cheaper. Compared with the guide price, the discount is as high as 150,000 (entry version), and the top discount is as high as 192,000 yuan.

But, even at this price, will it make your heart beat today?

Found the sports version, positioned in a medium-sized SUV, but its body length is only 4597mm, strictly speaking, it is not a standard medium-sized SUV. But then again, Land Rover’s design still gives the discovery of the sports version a good atmosphere, leaving aside the captain to make it look like a medium-sized SUV.

In addition, unexpectedly, this medium-sized SUV with a 4-level conductor also provides a 7-seat layout other than 5 seats. Presumably, after three rows of people are filled, the space experience will not be too plentiful.

It is found that the sports version is equipped with 2.0T, and the transmission is matched with 9AT gearbox. From the book configuration, there is nothing wrong with it, but according to the feedback from colleagues who have tested it, the matching of this system is not very good, and occasionally it can be obviously felt that there is frustration; Perhaps Land Rover should follow the pace and use ZF 8AT in this car. Maybe the driving experience will be better.

It is found that there is nothing wrong with the four-wheel drive in the sports version, and the suspension is equipped with the front McPherson+rear multi-link.

Achuan pingche

I have to admit that Land Rover is the dream of many men. The "Land Rover" here may be a Range Rover, a defender or a discovery. However, under the pressure of the economy, they may not be able to touch such high-end and high-priced models, but there is still a kind of Land Rover that is more affordable to the people, such as the Discovery Sports Edition in the early 200,000 class, which is the second best choice for Land Rover fans. After all, it is also a land rover. (Text /Shen)

Just now! Biden, big announcement

Biden has another big move!

On Thursday (August 15th) local time, Biden’s government announced that it had reached a "historic" agreement with pharmaceutical companies. According to the data released by the White House, the price reduction of the first 10 drugs included in the negotiations ranged from 38% to 79%. On the same day, US President Biden and Vice President Harris held their first joint activity since Biden withdrew from the 2024 election. Biden said at the event: "We finally beat the big pharmaceutical companies."

At the same time, another news related to Biden also attracted attention. According to a number of US media reports, a few days ago, hundreds of lawyers from all over the world jointly sent a letter to US President Biden, calling on the United States to stop using unilateral economic sanctions, saying that this tool is equivalent to collective punishment of civilians and violates international law.

In the joint letter, lawyers, legal organizations and scholars condemned the United States’ increasing reliance on sanctions to punish and intimidate its opponents, and said that these measures may lead to economic instability, hunger and the reduction of basic commodities such as medicines. The letter pointed out: "At present, hundreds of millions of people live under the extensive economic sanctions imposed by the United States in some form."

Biden’s government announced heavily

On Thursday (August 15th) local time, Biden’s government announced that it had reached a "historic" agreement with pharmaceutical companies, and the negotiated new drug price could save Medicare a net of about $6 billion by 2026. In addition, the new drug price will save the insured $1.5 billion in out-of-pocket expenses.

According to the data released by the White House, the price reduction of the first 10 drugs included in the negotiations ranged from 38% to 79%. Among them, the biggest drop was Merck’s hypoglycemic drug Januvia, whose price dropped from $527 to $113 in 30 days, while Novo Nordisk’s insulin injection pen Novo Horizo, whose monthly medication cost also dropped from $495 to $119.

According to media reports, this is part of a plan that Biden praised on Thursday, aimed at easing anger over high prices before the November election. The Inflation Reduction Act signed by Biden was signed into law in 2022, which was the first bill to allow medical insurance to negotiate the price of some of the most expensive drugs covering 66 million people in the plan.

On Thursday, US President Biden and Vice President Harris held their first joint activity since Biden withdrew from the 2024 election, and supported her to replace him on the Democratic ballot.

"We know that this is not only about health care, but also about your dignity," Biden said of the policy. "This is about inner peace. This is related to security. This is about taking care of your family. This is to give people more breathing space. " Biden said that they "just started" and that he and Harris "will continue to fight against big pharmaceutical companies". He said: "I played too hard. I can’t give in now. We won’t back down. “

Reuters said that although this was an official event, Biden turned his speech in the gymnasium into a de facto campaign rally, calling Harris a "hellish president" and criticizing Republicans for not supporting the right of medical insurance to negotiate drug pricing.

The Republican House leadership, including House Speaker Mike Johnson, described this power as "price manipulation" in a statement. Their prescription drug price manipulation plan only accomplished two things: pushing up the cost of health care and smashing American medical innovation.

Hundreds of lawyers signed a letter to Biden.

A few days ago, Bloomberg, CommonDreams and other media reported that dozens of legal organizations from all over the world, as well as more than 200 lawyers and scholars jointly sent a letter to US President Biden, urging the US government to end unilateral economic sanctions, saying that such sanctions constitute a collective punishment for civilians and are illegal under international law.

The signatories of this letter include human rights lawyers, American National Bar Association, European Lawyers Association for Democracy and World Human Rights, and law professors. The signer said in the letter: "Collective punishment is the standard practice of American foreign policy today, which takes the form of extensive unilateral economic and financial sanctions." So far, the United States has imposed more unilateral economic sanctions than any other country in the world. They pointed out that although the use of sanctions is different from conventional warfare, its collective impact on civilians may be equally indiscriminate, punitive and fatal.

The letter pointed out: "At present, hundreds of millions of people live under the extensive economic sanctions imposed by the United States in some form, including ordinary people in countries such as Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria and Venezuela. These measures may cause serious and extensive harm to civilians. Extensive economic sanctions may trigger and prolong the economic crisis, hinder access to basic commodities such as food, fuel and medicine, and increase poverty, hunger, disease and even mortality, especially for children. This situation in turn tends to promote large-scale immigration. "

According to the letter, the United States has imposed a severe economic embargo on Cuba for more than 60 years, which has adversely affected all economic sectors of the country and seriously restricted Cubans’ access to basic necessities such as food, fuel and medicine. In the past 32 years, United Nations Member States have overwhelmingly opposed the United States embargo against Cuba. Last year’s vote was 187-2, and only the United States and Israel were against it.

It is understood that after the victory of the Cuban revolution in 1959, the US government announced the breaking of diplomatic relations with Cuba in 1961 and began to impose a comprehensive embargo on Cuba in 1962. Since 1992, the United Nations General Assembly has passed resolutions with overwhelming votes for dozens of consecutive times, demanding that the United States end its economic and financial blockade and trade embargo against Cuba. Bruno Rodriguez Parrilla, Cuba’s foreign minister, once criticized the decades-long American trade embargo against Cuba as "endless" like a hurricane, which brought huge economic losses and humanitarian disasters to Cuba. The Cuban Ministry of Foreign Affairs also said that the United States has exerted extreme pressure on Cuba in recent years and strengthened its economic and financial blockade and trade embargo against Cuba, which is the root cause of the recent sharp increase in illegal immigration of Cubans to the United States; If the United States wants to stop the tide of illegal immigration, it must cancel the economic blockade that "makes life difficult for Cubans".

The signer said that according to the resolutions of the UN General Assembly and the UN Human Rights Council, unilateral sanctions are suspected of violating the UN Charter. They also cited the Fourth Geneva Convention, which held that collective punishment constituted a war crime. The signatory added: "As a member of the legal profession, we call on the United States to abide by the existing international law and stop using extensive unilateral coercive measures. Seventy-five years after the signing of the Geneva Conventions, collective punishment must end. "

American sanctions and the Middle East crisis

It is worth noting that the current Middle East crisis is also related to the US sanctions against Iran.

On November 7, last year, the White House issued a statement extending the national emergency against Iran in an executive order signed by the United States on November 14, 1979 for one year until November 14, 2024. This also means that the economic sanctions imposed by the United States on Iran continue to be extended.

On June 27th this year, the State Council issued a statement announcing sanctions against entities and ships involved in Iranian oil and petrochemical trade. Not only that, but the United States and the West are also looking for excuses to increase sanctions against Iran.

After the overall escalation of the Ukrainian crisis, the United States and Europe accused Iran of providing drones and missiles to Russia; The EU believes that there is Iranian support behind the Yemeni Houthi armed forces in the Red Sea region. According to this, the Council of the European Union announced in May this year to expand the scope of sanctions against Iran, involving drones and missiles.

According to public information, Iran is the second largest natural gas reserve country and the third largest oil reserve country in the world. However, after decades of sanctions, Iran’s economy and society have been completely hit. According to data released by the World Bank, nearly 10 million Iranians fell into poverty in the first decade of the 21st century. The loss of oil revenue has led to the continuous growth of Iranian government debt and state-owned enterprise debt. In addition, the United States and the West imposed a technical blockade on Iran through sanctions. United Nations human rights experts have issued a statement saying that US sanctions forced the Iranian people to extend the use of old vehicles with low fuel efficiency, while the United States also prevented other countries from providing air pollution control technology to Iran, which endangered the health of the Iranian people.

Recently, the situation in the Middle East has become tense again. On August 12th, local time, senior US officials said that Iran would launch a "major" attack on Israel "or within this week". On the same day, Iranian President Massoud Pezehiqiyan said in a telephone conversation with German Chancellor Angela Scholz that Iran believes that it has the right to respond to "aggressors" according to international rules. Petrezhiqiyan said that the Israeli government’s continued "genocide" in Gaza and "terrorist acts" in other countries violated international law and posed a serious challenge to regional security and global peace in West Asia.

Israel’s assessment report: the new round of conflict has hit its economy hard.

  An assessment report released by Israel’s Ministry of Economy and Industry earlier this week shows that the new round of Palestinian-Israeli conflict has seriously impacted Israel’s national economy. Nearly one-fifth of the country’s labor force and the vast majority of Palestinians with work permits are out of work, resulting in economic losses of 13 billion new shekels (about 3.44 billion US dollars).

△ On November 15th, local time, Israeli air strikes were carried out in northern Gaza.

  On October 7th, the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) launched a surprise attack on military and civilian targets in Israel from the Gaza Strip, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared the whole country into a "state of war" on the same day. Over the past month or so, Israeli military operations in the Gaza have killed more than 11,000 Palestinians and injured more than 28,000 others. About 1,200 people in Israel died in the conflict and more than 7,200 people were injured. Another 240 people were held hostage by armed groups in Gaza, such as Hamas. Hamas said that dozens of them were killed by Israeli air strikes.

  According to the assessment report released by the Israeli Ministry of Economy and Industry on the 13th, about 764,000 domestic laborers have been out of work since the outbreak of this round of conflict, accounting for 19.4%. The main reasons for the absence of domestic labor force include being drafted into the Israeli army reserve, high risk in residential areas, and having to accompany their children at home because of the suspension of school. In response to the war, the Israeli government announced the mobilization of 360,000 reservists.

  The report pointed out that after the conflict broke out, 97% of the approximately 135,000 Palestinian laborers working in Israel were not allowed to enter Israel at this stage, which led to the impact on many important industries such as construction, agriculture and service. Most of these Palestinian laborers come from the West Bank, and many from Gaza. The economic loss caused by the inability of Palestinian workers to be on duty is about 3 billion NIS (US$ 780 million), and the economic loss caused by the absence of all workers has reached 13 billion NIS.

△ November 14th, local time, a refugee camp in Gaza.

  According to this report, due to the conflict, the demand for goods and services in Israel’s domestic market has declined, and household credit card spending has dropped by about 20% year-on-year.

  According to data from Israel’s Central Bureau of Statistics, since the conflict broke out, more than half of Israeli enterprises have faced more than 50% turnover losses. In southern Israel, near the Gaza Strip, two-thirds of enterprises either closed down or operated minimally. In addition, the data shows that from October 8 to October 31, the number of foreign tourists arriving in Israel decreased by 73.1% compared with the same period of last year, and the number of people going abroad in Israel decreased by 45.1% year-on-year.

  According to the report released by Israel Airport Authority on 14th, there are only seven foreign airlines flying to Israel. The passenger flow of Ben-Gurion International Airport, Israel’s largest airport, was 1.17 million in October, a decrease of 41.25% compared with the same period in 2022; There were 9078 international flights, down 28.9% year-on-year.

  Israel’s National Security Institute estimates that since the outbreak of the conflict, the average daily expenditure of the Israeli government has been about 1 billion new shekels (about 260 million US dollars), and it is estimated that the total cost of Israel in this round of conflict will reach 150 billion to 200 billion new shekels, accounting for about 10% of GDP.

Iran says it will not change its nuclear program, and the United States hints that Israel may air strike Iran

  Iran’s nuclear program, a hot issue in the international community, has increased the heat. Recently, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad once again publicly announced that 3,000 centrifuges are "fully operating" in Iraq, and the government does not


  Will change the current nuclear program. The United States indicated that it would continue to solve this problem through diplomatic means, and hinted that Israel might take unilateral action to air strike Iran’s nuclear facilities.


  Ahmadinejad made a tough speech


  According to British media reports on November 7, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said in a live TV program that the Iranian government’s nuclear program is "irreversible". He also stressed that Iran has installed 3,000 centrifuges in the Nataz underground nuclear plant.


  Centrifuge is a machine for uranium enrichment, which can produce both low-purity enriched uranium for nuclear fuel and high-purity enriched uranium for nuclear weapons. Scientists have pointed out that 3000 centrifuges can produce enriched uranium for making a nuclear bomb within one year.


  Ahmadinejad said: "Now Iran’s uranium enrichment capacity has reached industrial level, and we will install new equipment to further improve the level of nuclear technology."


  The US government awaits the new report.


  The State Council spokesman sean mccormack said that he is not sure whether Iran really has 3,000 centrifuges, and the Bush administration is still waiting for the latest assessment report of the International Atomic Energy Agency.


  Diplomats and analysts believe that the number of 3,000 sets may be true, and these devices may be roughly divided into 18 groups. But there is no evidence that all these machines are in operation, and it is impossible to determine whether all the machines have been injected with uranium gas.


  The United States imposed unilateral economic sanctions on Iran in October this year. President Bush said that he will continue to solve the Iranian nuclear crisis through diplomatic means, but if Tehran refuses to stop its uranium enrichment activities, the United States will not rule out the possibility of using force.


  Israel may act alone.

Interpretation of Big Data Industry Development Plan in the 14th Five-Year Plan

Recently, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the "14 th Five-Year Plan" for the development of big data industry (hereinafter referred to as the "Plan"). In order to understand the contents of the Plan and do a good job in its implementation, the relevant issues are now interpreted as follows.

1. Background and significance of the promulgation of the Plan?

At present, data has become an important factor of production. As a strategic emerging industry focusing on data generation, collection, storage, processing, analysis and service, big data industry is a key support to activate the potential of data elements and an important engine to accelerate the quality change, efficiency change and power change of economic and social development. Faced with the unprecedented changes in the world in the past century and the opportunity period of a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, countries all over the world have introduced big data strategies, opened a new track for the innovation and development of big data industry, and concentrated on the multiple values of data elements to seize the commanding heights of the development of big data industry.

The CPC Central Committee and the State Council attached great importance to the development of big data industry and promoted the implementation of the national big data strategy. The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has made many important instructions on promoting the strategic deployment of big data and digital economy and developing the big data industry. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, together with relevant ministries and commissions, has established an inter-ministerial joint conference system on big data for development, continuously improved the policy system, made great efforts to build a big data product and service system, actively promoted the integration and application of big data in various fields, and fostered the development of big data industry gathering highlands. After five years of hard work, China’s big data industry has risen rapidly and gradually developed into an advantageous industry supporting economic and social development. The "family background" of data resources has become more solid, the basic capabilities of data collection, transmission and storage have been significantly improved, and big data products and services have been widely popularized, especially in epidemic prevention and control and resumption of production. It has played the role of "Depth Charge" and "main force".

The "Fourteenth Five-Year Plan" period is a crucial period for China’s industrial economy to move towards a digital economy, which puts forward new requirements for the development of big data industry. The 14th Five-Year Plan for People’s Republic of China (PRC)’s National Economic and Social Development and the Outline of Long-term Goals in 2035 (hereinafter referred to as the "14th Five-Year Plan") has made clear arrangements for cultivating and expanding emerging digital industries such as big data around "building new advantages of digital economy". In order to thoroughly implement the decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, gather the consensus of all parties, keenly seize the historical opportunity of the development of digital economy, and better promote the high-quality development of big data industry, the "14 th Five-Year Plan for the Development of Big Data Industry" is specially formulated as an action program for the development of big data industry in the next five years.

2. What is the overall consideration of the Plan?

Guided by Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought of the Supreme Leader in the New Era, the Plan fully implements the spirit of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th Plenary Sessions of the 19th Congress, fully implements the new development concept based on the new development stage, builds a new development pattern, coordinates problem orientation and goal orientation, coordinates short-term goals and medium-and long-term goals, coordinates overall planning and key deployment, and focuses on outstanding problems and obvious shortcomings. Fully stimulate the value potential of data elements, lay a solid foundation for industrial development, build a stable and efficient industrial chain, make overall plans for development and safety, cultivate an independent, controllable and open industrial ecology, create new advantages for the development of digital economy, and provide strong support for building a manufacturing power, a network power and a digital China.

The first is to release the value of data elements. Data is an important factor of production in the new era and a national basic strategic resource. The big data industry provides a full chain of big data technologies, tools and platforms, and deeply participates in the whole life cycle activities of data elements, which is the key support to activate the potential of data elements. The Plan adheres to the concept of data elements, takes the value of data elements as the guide, promotes the measurement, exchange and distribution of data elements, accelerates the transformation of characteristics and advantages of big data, such as large capacity, multiple types, high speed, accurate accuracy and high value, supports the cultivation of data elements market, stimulates the potential of all links in the industrial chain, leads the industrial chain and innovation chain with value chain, and promotes the high-quality development of the industry.

The second is to become stronger, better and bigger. Industrial base is the basic condition of industrial formation and development, and industrial chain is the foundation and key of industrial development. It is not only the inevitable requirement of industrial development during the 14 th Five-Year Plan period, but also the necessary condition to support high-quality industrial development. The "Planning" adheres to the goal of laying a solid foundation, promoting advantages, supplementing shortcomings, and paying equal attention to strong and weak items. Focusing on the goal of upgrading the industrial base, it adheres to standards first, breaks through core technologies, and moderately plans ahead to build new infrastructure such as communication infrastructure, computing infrastructure and integrated infrastructure to build a solid foundation for industrial development. Focusing on the goal of industrial chain modernization, focusing on industrial digitalization and digital industrialization, we will make concerted efforts and promote the system in all aspects of data generation, collection, storage, processing, analysis, service, security and application, and lay a solid foundation for industrial chain modernization.

The third is to promote the sound development of industrial ecology. To achieve high-quality development of any industry, it is inseparable from high-quality enterprise subjects, comprehensive public services and solid security. After five years of cultivation, the development ecology of big data industry’s synergy and mutual promotion has taken shape, but there is still a certain gap from supporting high-quality development. The Plan adheres to goal-oriented and problem-oriented, cultivates and strengthens enterprise entities, optimizes big data public services, promotes industrial cluster development, improves data security guarantee system, promotes the development of data security industry, and provides all-round support for high-quality industrial development.

3. What are the main contents and key points of the Plan?

On the basis of continuing the definition and connotation of big data industry in the 13th Five-Year Plan, the Plan further emphasizes the value of data elements. The Plan is generally divided into five chapters, and the specific content can be summarized as "three sixes", namely, six key tasks, six special actions and six safeguard measures.

Among them, six key tasks include: First, accelerate the cultivation of the data factor market. Focusing on the whole process of measuring, exchanging and distributing the value of data elements, we will focus on building a data value system, improving the rules of factor market, enhancing the role of data element allocation, and promoting the market-oriented allocation of data elements. The second is to give full play to the advantages of big data characteristics. Focusing on the key links in the whole life cycle of data, we will speed up the aggregation of "gross data", strengthen the "diversified" processing of data, promote the "timeliness" flow of data, strengthen the "high-quality" governance of data, promote the "high-value" transformation of data, turn the characteristic advantages of big data into an important driving force for the high-quality development of the industry, and stimulate the potential of all links in the industrial chain. The third is to lay a solid foundation for industrial development. Appropriately deploy new infrastructure such as communication, computing power and integration in advance, enhance the ability of technical research and market cultivation, give play to the leading role of standards, and build a solid foundation for industrial development. The fourth is to build a stable and efficient industrial chain. Focusing on all aspects of the industrial chain, we will strengthen the research and development of data life-cycle products, innovate service models and formats, deepen the application of big data in industrial fields, promote the deep integration of big data with various industries, promote the coordinated development of product chains, service chains and value chains, and continuously improve industrial supply capacity and industry empowerment effect. The fifth is to create a prosperous and orderly industrial ecology. Give play to the role of leading enterprises as the cradle of innovation for small and medium-sized enterprises, promote the development of large and medium-sized enterprises, improve the level of big data public services such as collaborative research and development, achievement transformation, evaluation and consultation, supply and demand docking, business incubation and talent training, and accelerate the development of industrial clusters.Create an industrial ecology in which resources, subjects and regions cooperate. The sixth is to build a defense line for data security. Adhere to both security and development, strengthen data security management, increase the protection of important data and cross-border data security, improve the ability of data security risk prevention and disposal, enlarge and strengthen the data security industry, and strengthen the research and development and application of data security products.

The main highlights of the Plan can be summarized as "three innovations": First, adapting to the new situation. During the "Fourteenth Five-Year Plan" period, China entered a critical period of striding forward from an industrial economy to a digital economy. The digital transformation of the economy and society became the general trend, data rose to a new factor of production, and the release of the value of data elements became an important proposition throughout the Plan. The second is to clarify the new direction. Based on the promotion of the big data industry from the cultivation period to the high-quality development period, on the basis of the industrial scale of 1 trillion yuan proposed in the 13 th Five-Year Plan, the growth target of "by the end of 2025, the calculated scale of the big data industry will exceed 3 trillion yuan" will be put forward, as well as new targets in the value system of data elements and the construction of a modern big data industry system. The third is to propose a new path. In order to promote the high-quality development of big data industry, the Planning puts forward the path design of "taking releasing the value of data elements as the guide, taking making the industry bigger and stronger as the core, and strengthening industrial support as the guarantee", adding new contents such as cultivating the data element market and giving full play to the advantages of big data characteristics, taking "new infrastructure", technological innovation and standard guidance as the focus of improving the industrial basic ability, and taking product chain, service chain and value chain as the main components of industrial chain construction to realize digital.

4. What measures does the Plan take to accelerate the cultivation of the data factor market?

It has become a global consensus that data is an important factor of production in the new era and a national basic strategic resource. China attaches great importance to the cultivation of data factor market. The Fourth Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee put forward that data should be used as a factor of production to participate in distribution. The Opinions on Building a More Perfect System and Mechanism for Market-oriented Allocation of Factors and the Action Plan for Building a High-standard Market System clearly put forward "accelerating the cultivation of the data factor market". The Outline of the Tenth Five-Year Plan of the State makes strategic arrangements for improving the property rights of data elements, establishing basic systems and standards related to data resource property rights, and cultivating data trading platforms and market players. Guangdong, Jiangsu and other places have actively explored the cultivation of data factor market, and Shenzhen, Tianjin, Guizhou and other places have made beneficial progress in data legislation, confirmation and trading.

As a strategic emerging industry focusing on data generation, collection, storage, processing, analysis and service, big data industry provides full-chain technologies, tools and platforms, breeds market participants of data elements, and deeply participates in life-cycle activities of data elements, which is the key support for activating the potential of data elements and the important content of data element market cultivation. Promoting the construction of China’s data factor market not only puts forward higher requirements for improving the basic capacity of big data industry and the modernization level of industrial chain, but also brings broader and richer value space for the development of big data industry.

In order to give full play to the key supporting role of the big data industry in accelerating the cultivation of the data factor market, the Plan focuses on the following tasks around the whole process of measuring, exchanging and distributing the value of data elements: First, establish a data value system, formulate a guide for evaluating the value of data elements, and carry out evaluation pilots to lay a value foundation for data elements to enter the market circulation. The second is to improve the factor market rules, develop market operation systems such as data asset evaluation and transaction matching, encourage enterprises to participate in the construction of data trading platforms, innovate data trading models, and establish and improve mechanisms such as risk prevention and disposal and emergency allocation. The third is to enhance the role of factor allocation, speed up the transformation of data into factors, cultivate new models such as data-driven production, integration and collaborative innovation, promote the transformation of factors into data, and promote the rational allocation of data-driven traditional factors of production.

5. What is the consideration of "giving full play to the advantages of big data characteristics" in the Plan?

Under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, together with relevant departments, has achieved remarkable results in promoting the development of China’s big data industry. The market scale has risen rapidly, the industrial base strength has been enhanced, the industrial chain has taken initial shape, the ecosystem has been continuously optimized, and the breadth and depth of the application value chain have been continuously expanded. But at the same time, there are still bottlenecks in the big data industry, such as prominent data barriers and serious fragmentation problems. The big data thinking of the whole society has not yet formed, and the "5V" characteristics of big data with large capacity, many types, fast speed, accurate accuracy and high value have not been fully released.

In order to better guide and support the development of big data industry, it is necessary to fundamentally follow the natural characteristics and development laws of big data, encourage the research and development of technical tools that release the "5V" characteristics, explore the mode path that conforms to the "5V" characteristics, break the blocking difficulties that restrict the development of the "5V" characteristics, and realize the high-value transformation of data with high-level industrial supply. After research and demonstration, promoting the "5V" characteristics of big data needs to be closely integrated with the core links of industrial development, such as convergence, processing, flow, governance and application, and the development level and ability to adapt to the "5V" characteristics should be improved in multiple dimensions. For example, for "massive" data, the infrastructure of data collection and convergence should be deployed in advance; for "diversified" data processing, the technology and application of big data should be continuously innovated; for protecting the "timeliness" value of data, the channels of high-speed data flow and real-time sharing should be unblocked; for ensuring the "high-quality" data to be available and easy to use, the data management ability should be improved; for promoting the "high-value" data transformation, attention should be paid to guiding the development of new data-driven applications and new models.

Based on the above considerations, the Plan proposes to give full play to the advantages of big data characteristics, adhere to the unity of the "5V" characteristics of big data and the high-quality development of the industry, and focus on promoting the coordinated development of "large volume" convergence, "diversity" processing, "timeliness" flow, "high quality" governance and "high value" transformation through the two-way guidance of "technology application and system improvement"

6. What measures does the Plan take to build a stable and efficient big data industry chain?

The profound adjustment of the international pattern has brought uncertain risks to the stable development of China’s big data industry chain, but it also breeds new opportunities. We must stand at the height of national strategic security, enlarge and strengthen the advantageous areas, focus on weak links to make up for shortcomings, prevent and resolve possible challenges, and ensure the safety, stability and efficiency of the big data industry chain.

During the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, together with relevant departments, made great progress in promoting the development of the big data industry. A system of big data products and services focusing on "data resources, basic hardware, general software, industry applications and security" was initially formed, and an industrial chain covering the whole cycle of data generation, storage, processing, analysis and service was initially established. Big data applications have widely penetrated into thousands of industries and there have been many successful cases, and the big data industry has gradually become. However, there are also many shortcomings in the development process, such as the lack of available, credible and manageable big data products and services in key links such as big data analysis, governance and security, and the lack of predictive and guiding deep-level applications, which cannot meet the higher-level needs of governments at all levels, social organizations and the general public.

Adhering to the principle of paying equal attention to safety and development, the Plan focuses on solving the problems of insufficient supply of key products and services, low application level and imperfect security system, and promotes the industrial chain to become better and stronger. The following contents are mainly deployed: First, build a high-end product chain, establish a big data product map, and improve the quality and level of big data products in the whole chain. The second is to innovate the high-quality service chain, accelerate the development of data services to specialization, engineering and platform, innovate big data service models and formats, develop third-party big data service industries, and cultivate high-quality big data service providers. The third is to optimize the industrial value chain, cultivate specialized scene-based big data solutions, build a multi-level industrial Internet platform system, and cultivate a new model and new format of digital transformation of data-driven manufacturing. The fourth is to extend the industry value chain, accelerate the construction of industry big data platform, create mature industry application scenarios, promote the deep integration of big data with various industries and fields, and give full play to the multiplier effect and multiplier effect of big data.

7. Next, how to promote the implementation of the Plan?

(1) Organizing publicity and training. Explain and publicize the contents of the Plan in detail for local industrial and information authorities, institutions, big data enterprises and industry application enterprises at all levels.

(2) establish a promotion mechanism. In conjunction with the relevant departments of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and senior experts inside and outside the industry, we will set up a promotion mechanism, do a good job of docking with local industrial and information authorities, establish a vertical linkage and horizontal coordination promotion mechanism, ensure the implementation of key tasks, and communicate information and experience in a timely manner.

(3) Task decomposition and implementation. Pay close attention to the formulation of a division of key tasks that can be implemented and implemented, and implement the responsibility for promotion. Encourage and guide the local competent departments of industry and information technology to put forward policies and measures suitable for the actual situation in the region in combination with regional characteristics.

(four) to carry out pilot demonstrations. We will continue to organize pilot demonstration projects for the development of big data industry and DCMM, encourage qualified localities, industries and industrial enterprises to try first around key tasks such as technological innovation, integrated application, data governance and ecological cultivation, and explore replicable and scalable implementation paths and models according to the idea of pilot, summary and promotion.

In the past two years, Putin’s first annual press conference+live connection talked about Russia-China relations.

  Xinhua News Agency, Moscow, December 15-Russian President Vladimir Putin held an "annual inventory" activity in Moscow on the 14th, and answered about 80 questions in more than four hours in the form of live question and answer and live connection. During the activity, he invited Xinhua News Agency reporters to ask questions before The New York Times reporters, and highly affirmed the development of Sino-Russian relations, believing that the relations between the two countries are an important guarantee for world stability, and the cooperation between the two sides in economic, military, humanities and other fields has broad prospects.

  This is the first time in the past two years that Putin has faced the Russian public and domestic and foreign media through the annual press conference and live connection.

  In the past, the two events were held separately. This year, they were combined into one called "Putin’s annual inventory", and the opportunities for asking questions became less, and media reporters from all over the world were even more eager to fight for it. Russian Presidential Press Secretary peskov was interrupted by Putin when he called a reporter from The New York Times to ask questions. Putin said: "No, please ask the Xinhua News Agency reporter first, and then let The New York Times ask."
