(CCTV)Liu Shijin: To expand consumption, we should manage from the source, and give priority to improving basic public services and consumption of low-and middle-income groups. Liu Shijin, deputy director of the 13th Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference Economic Commission and former deputy director of the the State Council Development Research Center, pointed out in his speech at the main forum of the 2024 Southern Finance and Economics International Forum that the macro-economy is picking up, but it is also facing the increasing pressure of insufficient total demand, especially insufficient consumer demand, and the focus of which is insufficient service consumption. We should give priority to improving basic public services and the consumption environment of low-and middle-income groups through "source governance" to promote the integrated development of urban and rural areas. On the basis of short-term stimulus policies, combined with medium-and long-term reforms, we will solve the institutional problems that restrict the expansion of consumption and help China's economy achieve high-quality development. "At present, it is necessary to distinguish the problems caused by insufficient demand from the causes of insufficient demand." Liu Shijin pointed out that from the perspective of international comparison, the lack of consumption demand in China at this stage is a structural deviation. In Liu Shijin's view, it is necessary to identify the key points or pain points in expanding consumer demand at this stage. First, service consumption based on basic public services, including education, medical and health care, affordable housing, social security, culture, sports and entertainment, financial services, transportation and communication; Second, the middle and low-income class with migrant workers as the focus; Third, people-centered, urbanization and urban-rural integration.

If Trump wants to push down inflation in the United States to a more tolerable level, he needs housing costs to help him. In this regard, the influence of the Federal Reserve is limited. It is unclear whether inflation will return to the Fed's 2% target in a sustained and convincing manner, at least not until housing inflation is further eased. In October, the national average rent in the United States was $209 per month, slightly lower than that in September, but still higher than the same period last year by 3.3%. Lisa Studt Vanter, chief economist of Bright MLS, said, "It is expected that with the passage of time, we will start to see the year-on-year rent growth slow down, but it just feels like it will take a long time. Some measures proposed by Trump will lead to rising inflation. Compared with six months ago, the prospect of continuing to move towards 2% is less certain. Aiming at the housing supply problem is something that the federal government can do meaningfully. Of course, this is not something that can be done in the short term. "
China's first near-zero carbon port microgrid landed in Jiangsu, and the first near-zero carbon port microgrid, a major innovation pilot of China's new power system construction, was recently built in Lianyungang. The role of microgrid is not "micro", and smart microgrid is a small power distribution system composed of distributed power supply, power load, power distribution facilities, monitoring and protection devices. State Grid Jiangsu Electric Power teamed up with Lianyungang Port to build a "multi-energy complementary" smart microgrid in the port, helping to realize the zero carbon emission of freighters from berthing to loading and unloading. Yang Huadong, Engineering Department of Lianyungang Port Holding Group Co., Ltd. introduced that after all kinds of power generation and power consumption equipment are connected to the microgrid, the annual power generation of clean energy can exceed 6 million kWh. After flexible dispatching through the microgrid, the annual electricity consumption cost can be saved by over 3 million yuan, 21,000 tons of standard coal can be saved and 56,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions can be reduced.Foreign media: The Italian neo-Nazi organization planned to assassinate the Prime Minister, which was foiled by the police.
