Delivered at the Fourth Session of the 8th People's Congress of Huai'an on January 9, 2020
Chen Zhichang, Acting Mayor of Huai'an
Fellow Deputies,
On behalf of the Huai'an Municipal People's Government, I will now report to you on the work of the government and ask for your deliberation and approval. I also invite comments from members of the Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) and other representatives present.
I. A Review of the Work in 2019
In the past year, we adhered to the guiding ideology of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era and fully followed the spirit of the Nineteenth National Congress of the Party and the 2nd, 3rd and 4th Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee of the CPC. We coordinated works in reform, development and stability by thoroughly implementing the new development philosophy, pursuing supply-side structural reform as the main task, carrying out "Six Measures" for maintaining stable performance and "6+1" Work Arrangement proposed at the third meeting of the 7th Municipal Congress, and promoting "10 Crucial Affairs" and "10 Concrete Affairs" with great efforts. As a result, all-round progress was achieved in various undertakings, and breakthroughs were made in some key and long-term projects as well as issues concerning the overall situation. For example, Huai'an people realized their long-awaited dream of high-speed rail with Xuzhou-Suqian-Huai'an-Lianyungang Railway and Huai'an section in the Lianyungang-Yangzhou-Zhenjiang Railway opened to traffic and Nanjing-Huai'an Intercity Railway started. The completion of the 48 km inner ring elevated expressway marks that Huai'an has entered the era of "Double High Speed." Besides, the first provincial joint conference and the mayors' conference for the cooperation cities along Huaihe River Eco-economic Belt were held in Huai'an, establishing a mechanism for comprehensive strategic planning. The construction of the air cargo hub took a substantial step last year due to the official launch of Huai'an's first all-cargo air route. The CCTV Mid-autumn Gala held in Huai'an brought us highlight moments, and considerable attention from home and abroad and a series of activities celebrating the 70th anniversary of the founding of the PRC much uplifted the morale of the people. All these significant events further strengthened the bases of the high-quality leapfrog development of Huai'an. Huai'an is now standing on a new starting line with brand-new looks!
Facing the complex situation and shouldering heavy burdens last year, we actively responded to severe challenges, overcame various difficulties and comprehensively completed the main tasks of economic and social development. A decisive foundation was solidly laid for building a moderately prosperous society in all respects and at a high level.
——Huai'an economy maintained steady growth. The main indicators remained within a reasonable range. Regional GDP of 384 billion yuan was expected to achieve, a year-on-year increase of 6.7%. The general public budget revenue, the fixed asset investment, and industrial added value above designated size and the total retail sales of consumer goods increased by 4.1%, 6.5%, 6.5%, and 8%, respectively. The output value of high-tech industries accounted for 23% of the industrial output value above designated size, and R & D investment of the whole society took up 1.95% of the regional GDP. Two hundred eleven national high-tech enterprises were approved, reaching a record high. For the first time, primary provincial science and technology demonstration projects and provincial high-value patent cultivation projects were approved, continuously enhancing the innovation and development vitality of Huai'an.
——In-depth major reforms were carried out. Fifty-one reforms in 9 categories made breakthroughs, including the reforms that delegate power, improve regulation and upgrade services, as well as reforms in new urbanization and land-use system. The provincial pilot work in integrated administrative approval service of cities, counties, towns, and villages, as well as the mid-term evaluation of the second batch of national demonstration parks for rural industrial integration and development in Jiangsu Province were both completed. The comprehensive medical reform was affirmed by the leading group in the medical reform of the State Council. Our online transaction system of government procurement was set as a national example. Besides, it was also selected as the only national pilot city in Jiangsu for innovating the supervision method of the healthcare insurance fund. The comprehensive reform of Shihe Zhijiaole Town was further promoted, and a new round of institutional reform at municipal, county and district levels was successfully finished.
——Opening-up and cooperation were constantly deepened. Two hundred ten projects with domestic investment over 100 million yuan were newly introduced, including 30 projects with over one billion yuan. Meanwhile, 130 foreign-funded projects were newly set up, of which 15 are over USD 100 million. The number of newly increased Taiwan-founded projects with more than USD 10 million ranked second in Jiangsu, and the actual amount of Taiwan investment ranked high in Jiangsu too. The export of foreign trade increased by 10% in total. Efforts were made in establishing the cultural tourism, health, and youth business alliances as well as the water conservancy professional committee for the Huai River Eco-economic Belt. Nanjing-Huai'an Modern Service Cluster was formally included in the assessment of the province's joint park construction of the north and south. The construction of the Nanjing-Huai'an special cooperation zone was launched, and the industrial park for Huai'an- Kunshan-Taiwan funded cooperation were officially put into operation, being part of the provincial joint meeting of the Kunshan Pilot Zone.
——Huai'an ecological environment continued to optimize. The construction of demonstration projects for ecological civilization proceeded in an orderly manner with an increase of 2% of the satisfaction rate. The air quality was top-ranked in Jiangsu, with an average PM2.5 index of 43 micrograms / cubic meter, a decrease of 10.4% compared with last year, and 265 days with good air quality accounting for 72.6% of the year, 1.3% higher than the provincial level. At the same time, 29 black and odorous water bodies were renovated, and 100 ecological sample rivers were created, basically eliminating all the black and odorous water in the urban built-up areas as well as V types in the national and provincial surface water surveys of cross section. The soil status surveys of 582 enterprises in Huai'an key industries were completed as well. Energy consumption per unit of GDP fell and met the provincial target.
——People's living standard was improved in an all-round way. The per capita disposable income of urban and rural residents was estimated to be 38,870 yuan and 18,500 yuan, respectively, both achieving a rise of 8.5%. 280-million-yuan business loan guarantee was newly increased, 78,000 new urban jobs were created, and 55,000 people were reemployed. The registered urban unemployment rate reached 1.8%. Various social insurance standards were raised and expanded with the employees' basic pension insurance plans in urban areas and the home-based pension services with 120,000 targets. The score of our compulsory education development ranked the third in the province, and our education modernization maintained the lead in northern Jiangsu. A multi-level housing security and supply system was established, which had made the housing prices generally stable.
——The construction of government working style was further enhanced. In-depth themed education "Staying True to the Founding Mission" was carried out, further tempering the party spirit and strengthening the thought of "Keeping the Original Intention, Taking the Mission, Finding the Gap, and Grasping the Implementation." Special treatments for "Obstruction from Middle-level Government Officials" and measures of "Six Practices and Six Prohibitions" were solidly put forward to establish platforms for enterprises with greater benefits and a better business environment. Burdens on the grassroots were effectively reduced through the streamlined meeting documents, the standardized inspection and assessment work and the centralized clear-up of grass-roots demonstration projects. We also consciously accepted the legal supervision, the work supervision and the CPPCC democratic supervision from the National People's Congress, improved our major administrative decision-making procedures and revised our government working rules, greatly improving the government construction under the rule of law. By implementing the spirit of diligence and thriftiness, the general administrative expenditure was reduced by 10%. In order to make the government affairs more upright, we also strictly implemented the responsibility system of improving the party conduct and constructing a clean and honest government, standardized public resource transaction, government investment management and state-owned capital operation and strengthened the audit supervision.
Over the past year, we focused on goals of high-quality leapfrog development, highlighted our problems, goals and results and strengthened our responsibilities. The following work was mainly achieved:

An ecological and livable rural environment had been gradually formed.
3. We vigorously improved the management of urban construction. The infrastructure construction achieved remarkable results with new transportation landmarks such as Phase I of Huai'an High-speed Railway Station, the Comprehensive Passenger Hub and Huai'an Canal Bridge. The expansion of Beijing-Shanghai Expressway and 348 and 420 Provincial Highways projects were accelerated. Public facilities have been continuously improved because of Phase I of the city's financial center and public health center delivered, the defense museum and science and technology museum of water conservancy opened to the public, as well as Baima Lake Forest Park, Theme Park of Journey to the West and Huaqiang Fangte Cultural Creative Base proceeding in an orderly manner.

The degree of Huai'an urban civilization had increased significantly.
4. We took solid actions in the "Three Critical Battles" against potential risks, poverty, and pollution. Major risks were effectively controlled and special supervision was greatly strengthened. We included the financing entities of the city's hidden pension debt into platform management, so the debt ratio was reduced year by year, and the annual government's hidden debt was fully resolved, too. Risks of capital chain rupture of key enterprises were prevented and a coordinated linkage mechanism for bankruptcy disposal was formally established. Practitioners of the local financial industry such as the small loan companies were enhanced with supervision, and illegal financial businesses such as "Tricky Loans" and "Cash Loans" were further investigated and rectified. As for pollution prevention and control, we carried out 241 key air pollution prevention and control projects and bans on fireworks and firecrackers in the main urban area which had received a positive response from the general public. Microenvironment control and dust pollution control in key areas were also vigorously brought into force. The management and protection mechanism of "Chargeman of River, Lake and Cross-section with Integrated Responsibility" was innovated in Huai'an. Projects such as source control, urban and rural sewage treatment were sped up, illegal discharge along with the Qing'an River were blocked and the regional compensation system for the water environment was strictly implemented. We set up the environmental resource court of Hongze Lake Basin so as to promote the stable water quality of cross-sections and increased the safety and environmental protection of the chemical industry and shut down 35 chemical companies. A comprehensive monitoring platform for pollution prevention and control was established. "Looking Back" special supervision by the central government on the environmental protection and feedback from the provincial environmental protection inspections were comprehensively put into effect. In addition, we deepened the "Sunshine" poverty alleviation and refined the implementation of "Two Worry-free and Three Guarantees". There were about 90,000 low-income people left who had filed cards and 28 villages used to be economically weak but reached the standard last year. The collective economic income of all Huai'an villages exceeded 100,000 yuan, and 50% of them reached 180,000 yuan. The key projects in crucial areas were fully completed, including 51 agricultural projects to increase people's income. Three counties and districts with provincial key support reached the standard one year in advance, together with the whole province to basically achieve the goal of poverty alleviation.
5. We coordinated the development of various social undertakings. The quality and scale of public services was extended. Fifty-five primary and secondary schools and kindergartens were newly restored. We also promoted the communities equipped with kindergartens, supervised and rectified after-school training institutions and standardized school-running and achieved the best results in history in the national and provincial vocational skills contest. A third-class general hospital was newly constructed along with the completed standardization of the vaccination information management system and the child vaccination clinics. A cross-regional purchasing alliance was founded on medical consumables with places like Nanjing, and the full network coverage was realized of site-off health insurance. A series of cultural activities celebrating the 70th anniversary of the founding of P.R.C, and China (Huai'an) Intangible Cultural Heritage Exhibition of Grand Canal Cultural Belt were both successfully held. Three national and ten provincial cultural protection units were added. Huai'an traditional opera "The Stayed Village Head and Goose" won the provincial "Five Ones" Project Award, and the local original film "The Past of Huanghuatang" was released last year all over the whole country. A number of international and domestic brand sports events were also undertaken. We built 10 new supplementary employment bases for the disabled, helped 5,000 disabled people with stable jobs and provided care and protection for left behind and disadvantaged children in rural areas. We continued to deepen social governance and formed a diversified pattern of social co-governance. The pilot work of "Good Governance for Thousands of Villages" was basically completed. Substantial progress had been made in the construction of upgraded city technologically being on guard with 82.6% of the video networking rate in residential areas, 100% and 97.2% of the completion rate in towns and villages, respectively. The practical work of Data Enforced Police ranked in the forefront of the whole province, and the major security tasks in the 70th anniversary of the founding of P.R.C were successfully completed. In-depth investigation and resolution of conflicts and disputes was carried out, and key problems in the accumulated cases of letters and visits were solved. The number of abnormal appeals to Beijing and to the province continued to decline. "Sunshine Letters and Visits" was selected into 2019 Excellent Cases of Smart Jiangsu. Our experiences such as veterans' mediation and letters and visits courts were promoted throughout the country. The special campaign of crime crackdown had won an overwhelming victory, destroying 8 underground criminal organizations, 31 criminal groups of evil forces, and rectifying 113 violations in the industries. It had been fully affirmed by the central steering group and made Huai'an the only national key training city for crime crackdown in Jiangsu province. Learning from the lessons of "3.21" Major Accident in Xiangshui, we put forward the special rectification of work safety and problems based on the provincial patrol feedback, publicized the hidden dangers from investigation for rectification and launched expert diagnosis and inspection. In addition, the "423" classified regulation mode was comprehensively promoted in hazardous chemical enterprises as well as the treatment of potential safety risks in key fields such as chemical enterprises, industry and trade, road traffic, building construction, and fire protection.

Work had been further strengthened on national security, agency affairs management, radio and television, supply and marketing, meteorology, earthquake, arbitration, archives and local chronicles, and new progress had been made in various undertakings related to the elderly, youths, women and children, charity, Red Cross, etc.
Fellow deputies, we owe these uplifting achievements to the strong leadership of the Provincial Committee and Government and the Municipal Party Committee, to the oversight and support from the Municipal People's Congress, the Municipal committee of CPPCC and people from all walks of life, and to the concerted efforts of the people in Huai'an. On behalf of the Municipal Government, I express sincere thanks to the people and government officials, deputies to People's Congress, CPPCC committee members and emeritus and retired comrades. I express sincere appreciation to other political parties, federations of industry and commerce, people without party affiliation, and people's organizations. I also express our sincere gratitude to troops stationed in Huai'an, the armed police officers and soldiers, investors and entrepreneurs coming to Huai'an, and all friends from China and abroad who care about and support the construction of our hometown, Huai'an!
We must also be clear about the problems and challenges our city faces in its development. The driving force of the leading industry is not strong enough, the support of major and extra-large projects is insufficient and the competitiveness and profitability of enterprises are not high as a whole. At the same time, the key achievements of reform need to be applied more comprehensively, and the driving force for development needs to be further strengthened. There are still many areas where we fall short for a well-off society in an all-round way. The added value of strategic emerging industries accounts too much for our GDP and the contribution rate of scientific and technological progress and other indicators are difficult to achieve. Many risks and hidden dangers still exist. The supply of public services does not match the growing needs of the masses for a better life. The business environment needs to be further optimized and the problems that have long plagued the main body of markets need to be solved urgently. A small number of government employees need to improve their sense of responsibility and service awareness and the implementation of policies and the level of government services need to be further improved. Confronted with the difficulties and problems on our way, we will strive to solve them in the process of promoting high-quality leapfrog development and deepening reform.
II. The Plan for Work in 2020
We have set forth the main targets for Huai'an's economic and social development in 2020 as follows. The regional GDP, the added value of industrial enterprises and the fixed asset investment above the designated size are all projected to grow by about 6.5%. The general public budget revenue, the total retail sales of consumer goods as well as the per capita disposable income of urban and rural residents are expected to increase by approximately 2.5%, 7.5% and 8%, respectively. R & D investment will account for 2% of the GDP and the urbanization rate of permanent residents will reach 64%. The consumer price index of residents will be controlled at about 3%, and the registered unemployment rate of cities within 4%. Meanwhile, our tasks in energy conservation and emission reduction as well as air and surface water quality will also meet the provincial standards.
This year, we will concentrate on fulfilling the following ten tasks. First, we will continue to carry out relative activities in major and important projects to accelerate industrial transformation and upgrading. Second, we will deepen the cooperation with Nanjing and the coordinated development with Kunshan, and actively follow the regional integration strategy of the Yangtze River Delta. Third, we will promote the construction of National Cultural Park of the Grand Canal (Huai'an section), and create a city featured with the Grand Canal Cultural Belt. Fourth, we will speed up the establishment of the headquarters of Huaihe River Development and Construction Group and the implementation of Huaihe River Eco-economic Belt. Fifth, we will push forward the construction of an air cargo hub and an integrated transportation system. Sixth, we will vigorously advance tourism in our whole regions and highlight the characteristics of the water city with eco-cultural tourism resources. Seventh, we will continue to improve the housing conditions of farmers and accelerate the pace of rural revitalization. Eighth, we will carry out in-depth integrated reform of the approval system of engineering construction projects, and continuously optimize the administrative approval services. Ninth, we will start to build as an international wetland city and a comprehensive system of ecological environment protection. Tenth, we will strive to establish a national civilized city and improve our social civilization in an all-round way.
To deliver a good performance in government's work this year, we need to concentrate on the following eight areas:
1. We will continue to insist on the innovation-driven development, and comprehensively promote the integrated reform system. The consciousness that innovation is the primary driving force and the reformation is the fundamental driving force of development will be strengthened. We must put forth the effort to play the "concerto" of scientific and technological innovation, and do a good job in all-round and in-depth reforms.
We will enhance the ability of collaborative innovation. We should lay emphasis on the innovation cultivation of main bodies by implementing the "20 Policies" of scientific and technological system reform, and establishing the promotion mechanism of high-tech enterprises gradient development. One hundred national high-tech enterprises and thirty enterprises above the municipal level with "Two Workstations and Three Centers" are expected to be established. The contribution rate of technological progress will achieve at 57%. Meanwhile, more emphasis on the system construction will be paid through accelerating the development of the S&T service industry, then carrying forward the innovation carrier, perfecting our city's sharing service platform for large-scale scientific research equipment, and achieving the establishment of two new municipal S&T public service platforms. R&D institutions or technology transfer centers of organizations from Shenyang Aerospace University and Soochow University will be further set up along with 10 transformation projects of major achievements to be launched. The introduction and training of persons of talent will be our another focus. We will introduce more than 10 "Mass Entrepreneurship and Innovation" projects as well as 30 "Huaishang Talents Development Plan" projects and build the innovation and entrepreneurship bases for overseas talents. Schools in Huai'an will be encouraged to optimize their specialized subjects so as to train and transport more practical talents. We need to achieve the goal of 12,000 newly added skilled talents and 20,000 newly employed college students in the near future.
We will boost the reforms in key areas. We should promote the reform of new urbanization continuously, make good evaluations of the comprehensive pilot reform of provincial new urbanization, and explore the cultivation of supply-side small-town economy. We will advance the reform of the land-use system and basically complete the overall planning of the national geographical space with the establishment of a "Multiple Planning Integration" system. Our trials in the reform of industrial land supply, functional area planning, redevelopment of inefficient industrial land, and evaluation of intensive urban land use will be actively promoted, as well as the market-based allocation of land factors. Reforms of "Separation of Powers" and the collective property rights system in rural areas will be firmly implemented, and the reform of the community shareholding system in all administrative villages will be basically completed. Furthermore, we will improve the market functions of property transaction in the countryside and spread the pilot experience of mortgage loans for land management rights. We need to cultivate new types of agricultural business entities, perfect social services in rural areas and build an effective connection between small farmers and modern agriculture. Besides, the fiscal, tax and financial reform will be advanced, major policies will be strengthened with audit trails applied, government debts will be effectively controlled and resolved, and the bottom line against systemic and regional financial risks will be strictly guarded. We also need to make innovation in financial products and service models, vigorously develop private equity investment funds, and strive to open Huai'an Branch of Everbright Bank within the year. At the same time, the mechanism for risk-sharing of financing guarantees will be greatly improved, and financial support for the real economy will be effectively increased.
We will optimize the service environment of government affairs. We will standardize our services, thoroughly apply the Regulations on Optimizing Business Environment issued by the State Council, and comprehensively implement the list management and time-limited processing. Government services will offer the integrated online platform, one-window handling mode, and notification and commitment of certification so as to accelerate the creation of a stable, fair, transparent and predictable business environment. The approval system will be further standardized and the process of government services will be redesigned. We will focus on the integrated reform of the examination and approval system for construction projects, and ensure that the whole process is handled in a coordinated manner, all items are examined and approved online, and the time limit is kept within 100 working days. We should fully implement the policy of reducing taxes and fees and one-window handling to ensure enterprises' sense of gain. In addition, we will promote legalization in supervision, as well as the "two random selections and one informational publicity" in joint supervision of government departments, and comprehensively carry out embedded supervision during and after the event. We will actively establish a model city for national credit construction and strive to build a new mechanism for market supervision with credit as the core. Meanwhile, the socialization of assessments will be pushed forward, the business-friendly model for enterprises will be consolidated and enhanced, the evaluation of government services will be arranged, and mobile applications for comprehensive urban services such as "Yuanlai Huai'an" will be developed.
2. We will adhere to regional coordination and discover new advantages through all-round opening up. We need to seize the strategic opportunities, accelerate the cross-regional opening up and cooperation, promote the orderly flow of all elements and the efficient allocation of resources, deepen the integration of markets, and expand new space for high-quality leapfrog development.
We will take the initiative to implement the major strategies. The "14th Five-year Plan" will be formulated in a scientific way, as well as the strategic action plan for the regional integration of the Yangtze River Delta. At the same time, the integrated development of industrial innovation, infrastructure construction, ecological environmental protection, market opening up, public services and other fields will be pushed forward with all strength. We need to promote the high-quality construction of "the Belt and Road" intersections and encourage the key enterprises to deepen their global cooperation on production capacity. The export share of markets along "the Belt and Road" is expected to increase to 30% in 2020. Playing as one of the leading cities and together with the cities along Huai River, Huai'an will actively promote the preliminary work of major projects including the railway construction along the Huai River. We will push forward the simultaneous implementation of the second-class channel project along with Phase II of the Huai River Seaward Waterway, and strive for the commencement of the pilot section of the waterway. Cooperation between Nanjing and Huai'an, especially the innovative and characteristic development of Ninghuai modern service industry clusters and special cooperation zones will be all deepened.
We will continue to make breakthroughs in major projects. Greater efforts should be made to promote the construction of major projects, improve the efficiency of our service and strengthen the on-site supervision and special audit investigation. 220 major projects are projected to complete an investment of over 80 billion yuan in the whole year. There will be more than 300 newly started industrial projects of over 100 million yuan, such as Jinshiyuan Intelligent Packaging and Logistics, new factory area of Zhengda Qingjiang Pharmaceutical, Yichen Steel Pipe, and more than 200 newly completed industrial projects of over 100 million yuan, such as Fuqiang New Materials and Lichuang Electronics. We will explore innovative ways to attract investment, focus on optimizing the investment structure, and put effort into introducing flagship, S&T, and tax source-oriented projects. We will introduce 50 new industrial projects of more than 1 billion yuan and strive to make breakthroughs in industrial projects worth more than 5 billion yuan and 10 billion yuan. The actual registered foreign investment will achieve a positive growth, of which manufacturing projects accounts for more than 40%. There will be 30 new manufacturing projects with a total investment of more than USD 30 million. We will strictly control the quality of projects, strengthen the study, judgment and selection of projects, and resolutely prevent misrepresentation of investment, excessive reliance on loan financing and advances, and excessive use of environmental resources.
We will promote the quality while maintaining stable performance of foreign trade. We should actively respond to economic and trade frictions, dynamically track key enterprises, key products and related industries, guide enterprises to make good use of foreign trade policies and credit insurance tools, and open up markets in diversified ways. We will upgrade the industrial chain of processing trade, increase the share of general trade, foster export brands and bases, support the import of advanced equipment, raw materials and bulk products, and greatly develop new business forms such as cross-border e-commerce. We will implement the action plan for international operation of industrial enterprises, and foster more than 120 enterprises with import and export exceeding USD 5 million and new growth points.
We will make solid efforts to promote "Secondary Entrepreneurship" in Taiwan-funded enterprises. We must strengthen the policy integration and fully implement the central government's "31 Preferential Policies" and "26 Preferential Policies" as well as various provincial and municipal preferential policies for Taiwanese and Taiwan-funded enterprises.
