宗庆后:中以克服跨境差异 才能实现双赢
理事简介宗庆后,中国与全球化智库(CCG)副主席,杭州娃哈哈集团有限公司董事长。 中国经济网3月20日讯(记者 王婉莹) “中以双方要加强沟通,促进互相了解,克服障碍,实现双赢的合作。”同时要先解决“克服跨境差异”的问题。杭州娃哈哈集团有限公司董事长兼总经理宗庆后今日在以色列总理举办的经济论坛——“投资、创新和文化:如何克服跨境差异”上表示。 “中国近两年GDP增速比例有所下降,这很正常”,宗庆后表示,基数大了,增速的比例自然会下降,毕竟中国去年GDP总量已达到74万多亿,增量部分占了全世界的1/3以上。中国经济发展的潜力很大,现在中国有三亿中产阶级就导致了每年一亿多人次的出国旅游,到哪里就把哪里的商品抢购一空。“中国要实现全民小康,要全面提高老百姓的收入,如果还有十来亿人亦富起来了,会是什么样的内需?什么样的市场?”图片说明:娃哈哈集团有限公司董事长兼总经理宗庆后(左二)在以色列总理商业创新论坛上与嘉宾留影。 以色列坚持走科技强国之路,重视教育和人才的培养,是值得赞赏和敬佩的。以色列高新技术产业发展举世瞩目,在这一片贫瘠的土地上重建起了一个让百姓安居乐业的伟大的国家。 而“当今的中国政府是历朝历代最开明、最英明、最了解老百姓与老百姓贴心的政府。中国制定了工业制造2025、2030重大项目规划、智能制造发展规划,正在从制造业大国向制造业强国迈进,全面进行转型升级工作。我认为中国的经济会越来越好,以色列寻找与中国的合作是找准了对象,二个都会赚钱的民族结合在一起真可谓是天下无敌了。”宗庆后说。 但是,也要看到以色列与中国加强合作以来,本来对以色列有崇敬之情的中国人大量涌向以色列寻宝,结果却是有一部分人高兴而去,扫兴而归,没有谈成合作。所以,首先我们要研究“如何克服跨境差异”。 宗庆后认为,目前中以合作主要有以下三个方面的障碍。第一是部分以色列人看到中国人来,抬高转让价格,精明的中国人感到被敲竹杠;第二是以色列转让的项目很多是初创的,中国人希望要的是成熟的技术;三是以色列国家小、人口少,发展产业的机会也少,一般科技成果仅仅只是卖掉,而中国企业家要将科研成果转化为生产力,因为这样市场更大,发展产业盈利更高,如果可以上市,还会产生几十倍的市盈率,利润更高。 由于两国国情不同,可能对有些问题的看法亦不同,所以真正合作谈成有一定障碍。“我认为我们双方要加强沟通,促进互相了解,克服障碍,实现双赢的合作。”宗庆后这样说道。 宗庆后介绍,娃哈哈向浙江省杭州市政府争取创建一个国际科技创新小镇,争取了税收优惠政策、投资补贴政策、人才政策,准备吸引以色列的企业带技术与中国的企业合作发展产业。另外,娃哈哈准备对以色列的一些项目进行投资,同时亦在与佩雷斯中心进一步洽谈合作,希望能把中以合作这一双赢的好事做好,促进两国的经济共同发展。文章选自中国经济网,2017年3月20日

毛大庆:技术进步下或有更多东西被共享
理事简介毛大庆,中国与全球化智库(CCG)常务理事,优客工场创始人。 过去几天,房子又一跃成为热词,包括北京、广州等多地先后出台了一系列楼市调控措施。 3月20日,在出席某论坛时,前万科高级副总裁、优客工场创始人毛大庆再次谈及房子的话题。不过,他并未对当前房地产调控政策做过多评价,只是表示,看到很多人长嘘短叹,认为这辈子的幸福没有了房子无法追求。谈及一篇10万+爆款文章 “后来有一篇叫《房子不是最重要的,爱才是》的文章刷爆朋友圈,文章不但被10万+阅读,同时被新华社、人民日报等转发,引起热议。”毛大庆说道。 《每日经济新闻》记者了解到,这篇文章出自一位从事地产建筑工作的清华毕业生的个人公众号“小万工”,后经门户网站转发,一跃成为公共话题,作者认为有衣有食有相爱的人同住,就很知足,幸福与房子并无直接关系。但文章也引来不少讨伐和反对声。 “我跟这个女孩交流过,她住在哪儿呢?我们在北京创造了一个新的模式,把年轻人的居住、办公、网红IP运营集中在一个紧凑的建筑物里,这个女孩自己家有房子、有孩子、有老公,但她上班很远,于是她租了我们这个非常小的房子,有社群、有社交,活在她非常喜欢的生活方式里。”毛大庆说。 毛大庆坦言,从前在万科的时候,无论是经济危机要刺激房地产,还是房价过高要调控房地产,自己是屡被“拉进拉出”参与讨论的人。乃至六年多前万科海南公司找马佳佳做一场研讨会,当时马佳佳语出惊人,说我们90后不买房子,随即招来很多人谩骂。而到如今,这样一篇文章,大量追逐、赞赏的已经远比骂的人要多。 “我想,是这个社会变了,是对生活、对未来看法的改变,也是社会的进步,我相信这样的人会越来越多”。毛大庆认为,这是社会的消费价值观的改变,与整个社会主流对共享经济看法的改变。谈及共享经济,毛大庆说,滴滴、摩拜、知乎等多个共享平台不断涌现,但归结起来,不外乎是城市空间、居住资源、知识和出行的共享,未来在技术进步的推动下,或还会有更多东西被共享,只是目前我们仍然难以看到。强调共享经济重要性 根据普华永道的预计,2014年,全球共享经济的市场规模达到150亿美金,到2025年,这一数字将达到3350亿美金,年复合增长率达到36%。毛大庆称,根据罗兰贝格对中国的估算,2018年中国共享经济的规模将达到2300亿美金,那就意味着是1.5万亿的数字。 “当然它远不能跟房地产比,房地产2016年的销售额是13.3万亿,但是一个共享经济的门类已经慢慢可以介入到万亿级别水平里,这就代表着这些新生的力量在逐渐取代过去传统的发展模式。”毛大庆指出。 毛大庆表示,在共享经济的推动下,跨界、融合、互联、社群将会成为企业未来创新的主要方向,共享经济将会持续得到爆发。未来5-10年里,中国经济的主要推动力,除了新旧动能转换,从原来的资源消耗向科技创新转变之外,共享经济会成为新旧动能转换过程中非常重要的经济填充物,它会蔓延波及到我们熟知的任何一种原来传统的商业模式里。 毛大庆同时指出,当新一代年轻人成为市场主流之后,原来的功能性消费逐渐向精神性消费升级,但消费升级不是不让中国人去日本买马桶盖这么简单,更重要的是,要知道85后乃至90后这批人的消费需求到底是什么,如果不知道,今天所做的努力很快就会变成过时的产品。在这样的背景下,个性化、定制化、体验化将成为未来商业模式发展真正的主题。文章选自每日经济新闻,2017年3月22日

李成:中国GDP增速今年有望好于6.5%
李成,中国与全球化智库(CCG)学术专家委员会专家,美国布鲁金斯学会约翰·桑顿中国中心主任。 布鲁金斯学会是美国久负盛名的智库,李成是布鲁金斯学会约翰·桑顿中国中心百年来首位华裔主任,他的研究方向为中美关系和中国政治,其团队中云集了李侃如等学术政治明星。就刚刚发布的政府工作报告,李成接受21世纪经济报道记者的专访,谈了自己的看法。 《21世纪》:从2017年政府工作报告来看,今年李克强总理将GDP增长目标定在6.5%左右,并强调“在实际工作中争取更好结果”。这略低于去年定的“十三五”增长区间6.5%-7%,以及实际公布的2016年增速6.7%。你如何解读今年这个目标? 李成:谨慎的数字会更好,而且为中国政府留有很多余地,情况好的话,(经济增速的)数字会更高一些。实际上,中国经济在很多方面有很多的起色,尤其在服务业方面,(占比)已经超过了51.5%,这是非常了不起的变化;同时中国的内需在增长,旅游业也在增长,这都是给人信心的表现。 如果内需更快地增长、服务业继续强劲,同时新近毕业的大学生的创新能够更有起色,最终(中国今年的经济增速)的结果要比6.5%好。 我们必须要对大环境有所了解,要对美国和欧盟未来可能产生的对中国经济的冲击做好准备。(美国宣称要对中国征收)45%的关税是完全没有道理的,也会损害美国的利益。同样,英国脱欧、德法选举这些方面有很多未知的因素,这会是中国政府制定经济政策一个考虑的范畴。 《21世纪》:从政府工作报告中所阐明的2017年重点工作任务来看,今年宏观经济调控的重点如何处理调结构和稳增长的关系? 李成:这两方面是相辅相成的。“调”跟“稳”是一个问题的两个方面,不能只强调一个方面而忽视另外一个。当然中国经济的调整是一个长期的过程。现在要保持稳定,同时要保持一定的增长,就业和人口的压力会有所反应。在这种情况下呢,(政策)要不断地随着形势的变化而改变。 城市化进程越来越强,同时环境污染得到遏制的话,那么在这种情况下有增长和投资是可以预期的。但同时如果对环境保护的压力很大,还要加上防止地方债务的问题,防止房地产的泡沫,包括产能过剩的问题都是现实的问题,还有就是资金的外流,所以作为中国政府的金融领导人来讲,这些问题都会摆在他面前,要做些取舍,不是那么容易的事情。 同时,世界上也在发生不确定的事情,这不仅仅是中国的问题,同时也是全世界的问题,在这种情况下,要防止可能出现的一些“黑天鹅事件”事件,就变得越来越重要了。 《21世纪》:关于政府工作报告中提到的国有企业改革措施,您有怎样的分析? 李成:政府工作报告当中第一次用到了“僵尸企业”这一个概念,这在西方也是新的。这也是意味着中国政府解决僵尸企业的问题,这是与国有企业改革相关的。国有企业改革不是说把所有企业的都私有化,而是说把某些国有企业做强做大,另外一些企业可以进行很多结构性的调整,尤其是僵尸企业,要通过《破产法》或其他的机制来改变目前的状况。实际上讲,这也是给私有企业更多的机会和公平的竞争环境。 《21世纪》:李克强总理也提到,在“逆全球化思潮”和“保护主义倾向”下,中国“坚持推进国际贸易和投资自由化便利化”。中国可以在哪些方面为全球化做出贡献? 李成:中国已经在做很多的贡献,包括“一带一路”和亚投行。当然,某些西方国家有些疑问,尤其是美国,但是欧盟、澳大利亚非常热衷于这个变化,更不用说中国的邻国,而且强调基础设施是对的。 美国总统特朗普也在重新制定美国的经济政策,例如减税、将制造业带回美国、重整基础设施,以改变美国的不利状况,但是基建投资离不开劳动力和财力,迟早需要国际合作,需要中国。这也是美中关系值得注意的方面。只有通过合作,才能双赢。美国关起门来做是不行的。所以,他最终一定会调整政策,和中国合作。 《21世纪》:所以美国的门是关不起来的? 李成:我觉得关不起来。文章选自21世纪经济报道,2017年3月11日

【China Daily】Way ahead
As globalization debate rages, eminent economists at top China forum offer a few pointersChina will deal with financial imbalances in its economy and press ahead with supply-side structural reforms, says He Lifeng, minister of the National Development and Reform Commission.He, who heads the agency responsible for macro-economic management, was addressing the 18th China Development Forum in Beijing, which brings some of the world’s leading experts across a range of fields into contact with China’s leaders.The minister was particularly concerned about money flooding into the property sector and creating asset bubbles. Prices in some major cities, including Beijing, have risen by more than 25 percent over the past year.Vice-Premier Zhang Gaoli delivers a speech on March 18 at the opening session of the three-day China Development Forum in Beijing. Feng Yongbin / China Daily"The excessive capital has resulted in surging housing prices in some key cities and pushed up the costs of the real economy," he said.He also said supply-side reforms were vital and there was a need to cut excess industrial capacity and dispose of loss making "zombie" enterprises if these were to be effective.The forum, sometimes described as the Chinese Davos and which was inaugurated in 2000, again attracted some of the world’s leading thinkers, particularly in economics, with a number of Nobel Prize winners in attendance, as well as chief executive officers of Fortune 500 companies, politicians and academics.Key speakers included Henry Paulson, the US Treasury secretary at the onset of the global financial crisis and author of Dealing With China, and Apple Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook.Topics included the state of the global economy as well as China’s own, China-US relations, supply-side structural reforms, income inequality, innovation and work in the age of robots.The future of globalization with the election of a protectionist and isolationist US president was one of the key areas of concern.With President Xi Jinping delivering a landmark speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, in January, China is now seen as a key defender of globalization.Stephen Roach, senior fellow at the Yale Jackson Institute for Global Affairs, said Xi was making the speech a normal US president would make."We don’t have a normal US president at present. We have an anti-globalization president. Donald Trump is all about America first. He is not in favor of the multilateral structures that weave the fabric of globalization," he said.Roach, also former chairman of Morgan Stanley Asia, said protectionism should be resisted because it would ultimately be bad for the global economy."Should we defend globalization? The answer is yes, but the question is how. What are the consequences if we get the answer wrong?"The lessons of history - the demise of the first wave of globalization from World War I to World War II - suggest that if we answer the question poorly there are grave and lasting consequences for the whole world."Wang Huiyao, the president of the Center for China and Globalization, China’s largest independent think tank (2nd L).Wang Huiyao, president and founder of the Center for China and Globalization (CCG), a leading independent think tank and a counselor to China’s State Council, agrees that globalization is now under attack."We see when Donald Trump came to office he actually said he preferred bilateralism to globalization," he said."He wants to renegotiate the WTO or NAFTA (the North America Free Trade Arrangement) and actually said he wanted to impose tariffs on China. If every country in the world puts its own country’s interests first and abandons the multilateral mechanisms for trade, it would mean globalization is under serious threat."Joseph Stiglitz, professor of economics at Columbia University. Photos by Liu Hao and Yuan Qingpan / China DailyJoseph Stiglitz, professor of economics at Columbia University and one of the more high-profile figures at the forum, said there were, however, issues with globalization as it currently operates.The Nobel Prize winner said that globalization was under threat from populist movements because it wasn’t delivering for people."Globalization arrangements were designed more for corporate interests than the ordinary workers," he said."So, for example, drug prices would go up. That was not the interest of ordinary individuals. That was in the interest of the drug companies that don’t create jobs, don’t pay taxes and only make political contributions to get what they want."Kaushik Basu, professor of economics at Cornell University and a former chief economist at the World Bank, said the data showed that blue-collar workers in developed countries have been losers in globalization.He said wages as a share of GDP have been on the decline since 1980 in developed countries and even in China since 1995."Since the demand for labor is going down compared with the demand for machinery and other technology, workers are not sharing in the prosperity of the world," he said. "That is why there is a rise in populism."But what Trump advocates is not the right policy response to it," he said. "We have to respond to this populist angst with the right kind of policy intervention."Edmund Phelps, director of the Center on Capitalism and Society at Columbia University who is also a Nobel Prize winner for economics, said he is highly concerned with the loss of jobs and slow growth of wages in the United States."The world of work is under threat and something has to be done to restore positive attitudes about the possibilities of this world and people having meaningful careers and contributing to society," he said."Some think that a job is simply a paycheck and do not understand that a job is a huge chunk of someone’s life and what someone does in their job is very central to their personal and intellectual development."Phelps, author of Mass Flourishing: How Grassroots Innovation Created Jobs, Challenge, and Change, said that there has to be a long-term rethink of the concept of work."People think that if someone doesn’t have work, then it is just fine and all you need to do is throw some money at them. This is crazy."Where now for the global economy? That was a leading topic for discussion at the forum. Nine years after the global financial crisis, growth in many parts of the world remains anemic. The World Bank cut its forecast in January for global growth this year to 2.7 percent, down from its previous 2.8 percent prediction.Larry Summers, the former US Treasury secretary, said it was important not to get too depressed about the state of the global economy, contrasting now to when he was a key figure in the Clinton administration."People around the world are richer. They are living longer, more people are literate, and mortality rates are down In many, many ways the world is a better place than it was 15 years ago and my expectation is that this progress will continue," he said Way aheadSummers, now the Charles W. Eliot University Professor of Harvard University, said many countries had already moved on from the global financial crisis."It has been in the rear-view mirror for some time as far as much of the world is concerned. There are particular strains within the euro system. The real challenge is finding ways to impart significant energy, particularly in the context of the American economy, where secular stagnation has been a problem."Stiglitz said Europe remains the major problem with the debt situation in Greece and Italy, in particular, making global financial markets nervous and contributing to economic uncertainty."Many (European) countries have lower GDP than before the crisis and for many countries, the downturn is much worse than the Great Depression. Unemployment is unacceptably high and youth unemployment in countries like Spain and Greece is as high as 50 percent."There was less concern about the Chinese economy at the forum. Premier Li Keqiang set a target for GDP growth in China of about 6.5 percent when he delivered the Government Work Report on March 5.Jose Vinals, chairman of Standard Chartered, the UK bank with major operations in Asia, said the target was a sensible one for China since it allowed leeway for reform."Accepting lower growth in the short term, but rebalancing the economy with a better policy mix such as less expansionary monetary policy and more expansionary fiscal policy will lead to China having more sustainable growth prospects," he said.Roach at the Yale Jackson Institute for Global Affairs said fears about China had at least eased in the short term."There is less near-term anxiety. The big challenge for China is completing the structural reform agenda that began five years ago, which means rebalancing the economy from manufacturing to services and from exports and investment to private consumption," he said."There has been good progress made in some areas and very limited and disappointing progress in many others. That is a long-term rebalancing that must continue if China is to be strong at home and strong globally."Summers, however, is optimistic the China economy will make the transition whatever the short-term difficulties."China has grown at a remarkable rate and I don’t think that rate is going to be ultimately sustainable. China has some substantial imbalances building up, particularly the accumulation of debt," he said."I am sure the path will not be exactly smooth, but I am also very confident there is good reason to expect Chinese living standards a generation from now will be very substantially higher than they are right now."How to propel supply-side structural reforms in China was the subject of a panel discussion at the forum.Michael Spence, professor of economics at the Stern School of New York University, said achieving success in this area was vital for the China economy."In the longer term if it doesn’t happen, growth will stop," he said."Productivity growth, deepening the capital base of the economy, making it structurally more flexible and doing all the things you need to do to support innovation - all these are tremendously important. While making these reforms, it is important not to forget the demand side of the economy, which in China’s case is important because of the need for consumption," he said.Spence, also a Nobel economist, added that the supply-side reforms are different from those undertaken by the US under Ronald Reagan and in the UK by Margaret Thatcher in the 1980s."If you look at America, there was a macroeconomic management problem. There was inflation but it wasn’t about market dynamism as it is in China. In the UK, Thatcher had to sideline a bunch of fairly obstructive unions to free the labor market and generally make the economy more flexible."Urbanization was another theme of the forum, since increasing standards of living are dependent on more people living in cities.China has had more people living in cities than in rural areas since 2011 when the 50 percent urbanization rate was surpassed.Now 56 percent of China’s population live in cities, and one of the key policy aims of the current Five-Year Plan (2016-20) is to encourage more people to move to urban areas through hukou or house registration system reform.High-income developed countries all have high urbanization rates, with that of the US being 82.4 percent, the UK 79.6 percent, France 85.8 percent and Germany 73.9 percent. Some of the lowest urbanization rates are in Africa, such as in Burundi where only 12 percent of the population live in citiesPaul Romer, chief economist of the World Bank, said urbanization was vital to making people wealthier around the world."China has done a good job on this but it needs to do more. Many countries around the world, have room to bring more people into urban areas. So we need a more inclusive urbanization policy that welcomes everyone that wants to come to cities," he said."You have to say to people that you have a chance to pursue that, if you would like."A number of executives of leading companies who attended the forum remained bullish about the China market despite slowing growth.Tim Cook, chief executive officer of Apple, said it was vital for his company to build a long-term relationship with the world’s second-largest economy.The California-based giant plans to add to its existing bases in Beijing and Shenzhen with two more research and development centers in Shanghai and Suzhou."Look at the talent in China - it is just amazing," he told the forum."We want to broaden our cooperation with China in a deeper way."Roland Berger, the founder and honorary chairman of the global management consultancy of the same name, said China represented a huge opportunity for global business generally."China will be the largest and strongest economy in the world in less than 20 years from now. It is a huge local market with 1.4 billion people speaking the same language. That is more than double the 700 million or so English speakers globally," he said."Although many Chinese businesses have been successful in overseas markets, the debate should be more about foreign companies coming here. We are now seeing a huge number of companies now coming to China, including younger startups, for the opportunities there are here."For now, however, one of the biggest global risks remains China-US economic relations.Former Treasury secretary Summers, who is also a former chief economist of the World Bank, said the actual relationship might be better than some expect."Certainly much of the rhetoric has not been that which I would have chosen or would choose to use when I was in office, but I think ultimately it is going to be the actions that are taken that are going to be more important than what has been said so far," he said.From China Daily,2017-3-24

【界面】加拿大吸引低龄留学生的原因:教育和社会
留学,在21世纪似乎已经太普遍了。从中国走向世界高等院校的学生比比皆是,在普通百姓家中也越来越平常。而近年来,留学的主力军已然从大学毕业到海外留学转向了小学中学甚至幼稚园。低龄化留学趋势尤其在加拿大的留学生中十分明显,那么,加拿大领跑低龄留学的原因是什么? 2016年底,由中国与全球化智库(Center for China and Globalization,CCG)研究编著、社科院社科文献出版社出版的国际人才蓝皮书《中国留学发展报告(2016)》在北京发布。在这份报告中,中国留学生及留学产业的发展现状与趋势被系统的归纳。其中,留学低龄化、反向留学、留学人员回国就业和创业的主要特点、海归创业、从政意愿成为了重点的讨论方向。报告数据显示,目前,全球有超过500万学生在其祖国以外的国家接受教育,与十年前相比增长了67%,跨国流动程度明显加快。其中,加拿大分了其中大约50万。 加拿大的吸引低龄化留学的原因主要体现在两方面:教育和社会。关于教育 众所周知,加拿大的大学实行统一的公立教育制度,而加拿大的中小学教育确实公立私立全开放,如果你是海外 移民枫叶卡持有者,那么公立中小学可以给你提供优秀教育资源的同时,免去所有的学杂费。而私立学校则倾向于精英化教育,许多有意愿将孩子送往美国英国等更高平台大学的家长尤其会考虑。 其次,加拿大是全世界所有发达国家中对公立教育投入GDP最高的国家。根据统计报告显示,世界发达国家对公立教育投入GDP的平均水平是5.9%,而加拿大是超过7%!当然,国家对于教育的重视不仅体现在国库投入上,同时还有硬件设置的全面。在部分中小学中,弓箭、马术、高尔夫甚至前沿科技都是学校的课程选项,学校尽一切可能给学生一个体验不同世界的机会,这对青少年认识世界以及未来发展有非常重要的影响和推动。 当然,社会因素是另一方面的原因。 首先,加拿大作为全球多元文化最丰富的国家之一,包容来自全世界超过100个国家的大量移民,多元文化的洗礼让这个国家形成了独特的、独立的多元文化。各文化直接和谐相处互相尊重,相比于隔壁邻居美国如今民族情绪的严峻,加拿大显然在民族平等方面做得更加优秀。而这种和谐的社会氛围则让来自海外的青少年更容易容易当地社会,在加拿大,不同肤色不同民族甚至不同语言的人很容易和谐共处。并且,对于青少年和女性的重点保护时刻都是加拿大社会的重要讨论和重视因素。作为家长,也更放心将孩子送到这样一片环境当中接受教育。 其次,安全是另一个非常重要的因素。加拿大令人放心的安全问题分两方面,公共安全和食品安全。作为食品安全评分世界第一的国家,加拿大的食品检测一直是非常严格的实行着。青少年在成长过程中的营养摄取尤其需要重视,而加拿大这一方面的成就无疑促进了留学教育的发展。同时,作为公认的发达国家中低犯罪率的最安全国家之一,加拿大的警方尤其重视保护青少年的人身安全保护,每日的专车校车接送以及相对私密的中小学教学环境解决了青少年留学中父母最担心的安全问题。 最后,整个社会对于教育的重视则是让全球许多国家羡慕和追求的方面之一。加拿大基础教育质量全球高度认可,阅读量高居世界前茅。这其中很重要的原因就是政府投入大量资金建立社区图书馆,鼓励青少年增加阅读了解世界前沿课题。 青少年,在全世界所有国家都被视为国家的未来,如何对待青少年直接体现一个国家如何对待自己的国民。赢得了青少年,自然赢下了国家的未来。文章选自界面,2017年3月20日

【南方周末】“现在是中国吸引全球人才最好的时候”
从上到下、依左到右分别为:陈十一、王俊峰、张连起、李葳、黄文政。(资料图/图) 2017年3月8日,中国与全球化智库(CCG)会员里的部分全国人大代表和政协委员,齐聚一堂,就司法、财税、人才和生育等问题展开跨界讨论。改进机制吸引全球人才陈十一(全国人大代表、CCG学术专家委员会、专家南方科技大学校长): 中国整体上对人才的吸引力已经很强,但吸引人才的体制和机制还有待改进和加强。 日本、德国、法国和美国,这些年都出台了很多吸引国际人才的政策。中国也有很多政策,但我们在研究环境等软实力方面还不够。 有一次我碰到一个美国斯坦福大学的教授,我问他在斯坦福做学问的秘诀是什么。他说是文化的碰撞,这是中国需要的。 李光耀说过,中国是在13亿人里面选才,美国是在全世界70亿人里选才。现在全世界的保护主义在抬头,去美国没那么容易了。中国成为全世界非常开放的国家。现在正是我们吸引全球人才最好的时候。 现在很多国外教授对中国很有兴趣,比如有以色列教授就跟我说希望来中国发展。加快建立判例数据库王俊峰(全国政协委员、CCG副主席、金杜律师事务所创始人、中华全国律师协会会长): 我希望国家和社会关注如何提高我们的刑辩率。目前中国的刑辩率是比较低的,律师主要是在职务犯罪案件中参与度比较高,因为职务犯罪人群的法律意识都很高。但更多当事人的合法权益需要律师参与进来。正如习近平总书记讲的,要让每一个案件都能感受到公平和正义。 现在中国有大概32.8万律师,未来中国需要更多律师,尤其是年轻律师。中国在搞“一带一路”建设,有很多企业到海外去了,需要用法律手段维护自己的权益。 随着互联网科技的发展,大数据等工具被应用到法律领域。中国在短短一两年里,就把数以亿计的判例整合到数据库里。只需要几秒钟,就能把所有类似判例调出来查阅。 所以,在高科技时代,我们的法律进步可能实现弯道超车和跨越式发展,我们判决的公正性会大大提高。 还有一件值得大家关注的事是民法总则的修改,对每个人的意义非常重大。这是我们拥有民法典的重要一步。中国从新中国成立初期就开始讨论制定民法典,直到十八大以后才开始加速。加大减税降费力度张连起(全国政协委员、CCG特邀高级研究员、北京大学经济学博士): 今年政府减税和降费的力度将更大,其中减税3500亿元,降费2000亿元。降费难度非常大。什么叫费?是国务院各个部门自己设的,都有道理。比如说绿化的、水利的、环保的。当然都对,但这么多有道理的费加在一块,企业难以承受,不堪重负。 2000亿元的目标看起来虽然整体规模不算大,但考验着包括国务院各个部门和各个地方政府。尤其是经济发展较弱的地方,收费冲动更明显。 个税改革这块,会有突破,中等收入者的税负要降低。但这个有难度,需要税收征管系统的改革,以及个人信息系统的完善。但总方向是定了的,要给中等收入者减负,在纳税时扣除他们的二孩、基本房贷和再教育等支出。希望全面放开和鼓励生育李葳(全国政协常委、全国政协委员、广东省侨联副主席): 我建议尽快出台全面放开和鼓励生育的政策,越快越好。黄文政(CCG高级研究员): 很有幸认识李葳,协助他起草一些提案。中国生育率在上世纪90年代初已经降到了很低水平。当时的出生率的数据是1.23,大家不信这个数据。2010年普查出来的结果发现,出生率非常低。现在总算全面二孩放开了,2017年可能是生育高峰,大概1850多万。2018年以后就会减少。 另外就是要改革《收养法》。目前中国的收养制度非常严格,主要是为了堵住计划生育的漏洞。所以哪怕你再富有,条件再好,如果你有孩子,就不允许收养。现在的《收养法》带来很多问题,首先是弃婴现象非常严重,建议适时修改。文章选自《南方周末》,2017年3月11日
