Chapter 2482 Strategic Vision
According to Mu Guoxing's proposal, the Standing Committee of the Politburo held a special meeting to discuss and attach importance to agricultural exhibitions, and adopted all legal political and economic means to strive to squeeze foreign grain and oil enterprises out of China within three years. However, the price paid by the country is also very huge, and more than 100 million yuan of financial subsidies will be paid every year.
This is also impossible. According to relevant statistics, the four major multinational grain traders in the United States have controlled more than 75% of the raw materials and processing and edible oil supply in China's oil market. Among the 97 large oil traders in the country, 64 are controlled by multinational grain traders. The entry of foreign capital is achieved through hidden ways such as investment and equity participation in private enterprises, thus avoiding the supervision of national policies.
Over the years, many state-owned grain warehouse reforms have caused local grain warehouses to be vacant. In order to make use of idle grain warehouses, most local governments have extremely enthusiastic welcome attitudes towards foreign investment. Under the impact of the increasing import of genetically modified soybeans and the low-cost finished genetically modified soybean oil, 80% of enterprises across the country have stopped working and collecting, and some have to maintain production in stages. Last year, due to the interruption of national subsidies, most soybean companies have stopped production.
Mu Guoxing pointed out incisively at the meeting: In the past 40 years of reform and opening up, our biggest mistake was to abolish the unified supervision of grain and oil production. Facts have proved that relying solely on market regulation is simply not feasible on the issue of grain and oil supply. Grain and oil are important strategic materials related to the national economy and people's livelihood. The government of every country in the world attaches great importance to it. No country has cancelled its control over grain and oil when its agricultural level is still at a relatively low stage. This is very dangerous.
The opinion put forward by Mu Guoxing requires great risks. You must know that opening the grain market allows foreign capital to enter, but the resolution made by Mr. Mu's generation of leaders will encounter great resistance to changing this policy. Only Mu Guoxing dares to speak like this. Others do not have the courage to do so.
"Now our country's food security has reached a very serious level. As one of the five grains, soybeans originated in China. Soybeans cultivated by countries around the world are directly or indirectly transmitted from China. In the 1930s, my country's soybean production accounted for 91.2% of the world's total output. Now, foreign capital is entering my country frantically, involved in the production, processing and sales of soybeans and other crops. Due to the impact of a large number of low-priced imports of genetically modified soybeans, China's soybean production is facing the crisis of the destruction of the entire army."
Mu Guoxing said in a deep mood: "Foreign-invested enterprises purchase domestic non-GMO soybeans at prices higher than the national protection price every year, and have basically monopolized the domestic non-GMO soybean market. What's more serious is that due to the low-key and confidentiality of foreign capital, their investment scale and penetration of private enterprises in my country's grain industry are difficult to estimate. It can also be said that my country's non-GMO soybean industry has suffered a serious impact. If there are no further measures, my country's non-GMO soybeans may completely disappear in less than ten years."
Finally, Mu Guoxing raised his voice and said, "I am not exaggerating, but factually based. I believe that after the foreign-funded enterprises have absolute control over our soybean production, they will enter the main food that our people rely on for survival. If we do not pay attention to this issue now, it will not take twenty years. We will have to look at the faces of foreigners on the issue of eating. It feels uncomfortable to be stuck in the neck of others."
The members of the Standing Committee changed their faces, and they did not expect that the problem would be so serious. They thought that after 40 years of rapid development, the problem of eating was no longer a very important thing, and it could be achieved by the market's adjustment. After hearing Mu Guoxing's words, everyone could no longer sit still.
"Comrade Guoxing." Meng Xianqiang, No. 4, began to speak: "According to your judgment, the problems in grain and oil should indeed attract our high attention, but the involvement of solving this problem is too great. Opening the grain and oil market first is a decision made by the older generation of leaders. We have easily changed it. Are they disrespectful to their intentions? Secondly, when my country joined To join the TO, it made a 3% low tariff concession on the trade of soybeans and other agricultural products. Maybe it will cause a trade war and affect our country's image in the world. Also, will the increase of more than 100 billion yuan in fiscal expenditures affect the normal construction and development of our country?"
Seeing Mu Guoxing speaking, Meng Xianqiang hurriedly said: "I am not against your proposal. Should we slow down a little? When the time is right, or if we have prepared more fully, we will carry out this work."
Ren Dongyi, No. 9, also said: "Comrade Guoxing has a good proposal, but he is also a little too hasty. There is no clear statement in the scientific community whether genetically modified foods are harmful. If we ban the production and sales of genetically modified foods now, will it cause an international dispute? What we need to do this is to continue to keep a low profile in the first five years and vigorously promote the economy, and gradually make a difference in the international market in the next five years. In this way, will we change the exhibition strategy we just formulated again?"
No. 3 and No. 1 whispered a few words, but No. 1 smiled and said, "Comrade Xianqiang and Comrade Dongyi fully expressed their views. I summarized the main issues: 1. Opening the grain and oil market is a resolution made by the old generation of leaders. Should we make adjustments? 2. Will it cause a trade war to damage our country's image? 3. Will the increase of 100 billion fiscal expenditure affect the country's exhibition? 4. Should we ban the sales and production of genetically modified foods? 5. Will this interfere with the country's exhibition strategy?"
No. 1 paused and said, "If I remember correctly, it should be these five issues. Are you please express your personal opinions on these five issues and take a look at the suggestion put forward by Comrade Guoxing. Will there be other issues in implementation?"
As soon as No. 1 finished speaking, the Standing Committee members understood that No. 1 supported Mu Guoxing's suggestion. Otherwise, he would not have asked everyone to discuss the matter, and would not only limit the issue to these five aspects.
Xie Yunfei, No. 8, said: "I personally think there is nothing to worry about the first question. It was completely correct for the older generation of leaders to open the grain and oil market in a specific historical period at that time. Now that the situation has changed, it is also appropriate for our leadership team to make appropriate adjustments based on the current actual situation. This is not a question of respecting or not respecting the old leaders. I believe that the old leaders have a far-sighted strategic vision, and they will definitely support us in doing this."
Xie Yunfei's words were very tactful and reasonable, but he didn't say anything: In addition to the two leaders who made this decision, there are only the grandfather of the previous number and Mu Guoxing. These two older politicians with high political wisdom, will they not see the situation? Besides, Mu Guoxing was supported by them and the previous number, and will they still not support Mu Guoxing?
If they are unhappy because the current Standing Committee members have changed their policies and regulations, they are insulting their IQ and belittling their noble thoughts and morals for seeking prosperity and strength of the country.
"I am not an economic person, and I cannot speak in this regard. Let me talk about whether it will interfere with the national exhibition strategy." Xie Yunfei took a sip of tea and said: "I think after we implement the policies and policies proposed by Comrade Guoxing, it will not only not interfere with our established exhibition strategy, but also promote the better and faster implementation of this exhibition strategy. It can also be said that the suggestions put forward by Comrade Guoxing are very strategic and imperative!"!
