The international financial crisis came last year, which plunged the world economy into the most difficult situation since the Great Depression of last century, and also had a great impact on China's economy. External demand has shrunk significantly, some industries have overcapacity, enterprises have difficulties in production and operation, urban unemployment has increased, and the downward pressure on economic growth has increased significantly. This is a severe challenge in the process of building a well-off society in an all-round way. At this critical moment, we especially need to carry forward the Jinggangshan spirit and establish confidence in winning.
As small as a person, as big as a nation, if there is no lofty and firm ideals and beliefs, there will be no spiritual support, and there will be no spiritual motivation to support their progress and pursue progress. Jinggangshan is the cradle of China revolution. More than 80 years ago, in the arduous struggle in Jinggangshan, our party formed the Jinggangshan spirit of "firm belief, hard struggle, seeking truth from facts, daring to innovate, relying on the masses and being brave in victory". The conditions during the Jinggangshan struggle were much more difficult than now, but the revolutionary ancestors still walked out of the road to success of the China revolution with the belief of winning. Although we have encountered some difficulties now, are we afraid? In the face of the financial crisis, the Party and the government correctly judged the situation, formulated correct policies and measures, and maintained steady and rapid economic development. The long-term trend of China's economic development has not changed, the advantages of China's economic development have not changed, and the external environment of China's economic development has not changed. More importantly, we have established the Scientific Outlook on Development, always adhered to reform and opening up, and found a correct development path that conforms to China's national conditions and conforms to the trend of the times; Our people are tenacious, self-reliant and indomitable. These excellent qualities make China glow with stronger vitality in every adversity. Jinggangshan spirit is the inheritance and development of these excellent qualities. We have reason to believe that as long as we vigorously carry forward the Jinggangshan spirit, establish the confidence to win, and through the joint efforts of the people of the whole country, we will certainly be able to overcome the impact of the financial crisis on China and continue to maintain steady and rapid economic development.
As far as Ji 'an is concerned, the international financial crisis has also had a certain impact on our city. General Secretary Hu Jintao's speech during his inspection tour in Jiangxi pointed out the direction for us to overcome difficulties. We should conscientiously implement the spirit of General Secretary Hu Jintao's speech, thoroughly implement Scientific Outlook on Development, seize the precious opportunity of the country to vigorously promote the rise of the central region, go all out to ensure growth, do everything possible to protect people's livelihood and increase efforts to ensure stability with high morale, tenacious perseverance and pragmatic style.
It is necessary to follow the decision-making arrangements of the Seventh Plenary Session of the Second Session of the Municipal Party Committee and closely follow the theme of accelerating development. Hold high "one banner" (holding high the banner of Scientific Outlook on Development), give play to "two advantages" (giving play to the advantages of red and agriculture), build "four bases" (building Ji Tai industrial corridor, building a national famous tourism and leisure base, building a regional comprehensive transportation hub, building an important power and energy base), and do a good job in "five major projects" (doing a good job in social progress, promoting employment and entrepreneurship, and social security).
It is necessary to implement various employment policies, encourage and support entrepreneurship, accelerate the construction of a social security system covering urban and rural residents, and conscientiously implement various social assistance systems. We must earnestly shoulder the political responsibility of ensuring the safety of one party and constantly enhance the people's sense of security. We should make great efforts to attract investment, attract talents, support the development of enterprises, and take various measures to promote the stable employment of migrant workers and support them to return home to start businesses.
"I am confident that if I live for 200 years, I will be a water hammer with a distance of three thousand miles." As long as we vigorously carry forward the spirit of Jinggangshan, establish confidence in winning, maintain a mental state of facing difficulties and doing a good job, we will certainly overcome the immediate difficulties and maintain the sustained and rapid economic and social development of Ji 'an.
