State and municipal people’s governments, provincial committees, offices, departments and bureaus:

In order to implement the State Council’s Opinions on Resolving Excess Capacity in Coal Industry and Realizing Development from Difficulties (Guo Fa [2016] No.7), General Opinions of Yunnan Provincial People’s Government of Yunnan Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China on Promoting Supply-side Structural Reform (Yun Fa [2016] No.16) and Implementation Opinions of Yunnan Provincial People’s Government on Supply-side Structural Reform to Reduce Capacity (Yun Zhengfa [2016] No.42),

I. General requirements

(A) the guiding ideology

Fully implement the spirit of the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the 3rd, 4th and 5th Plenary Sessions of the 18th Central Committee and the Central Economic Work Conference, firmly establish and implement the development concept of innovation, coordination, green, openness and sharing, make great efforts to promote the structural reform of the supply side of the coal industry, adhere to the market coercion, enterprises’ main body, government organizations, support at all levels, comprehensive policies, tackling both the symptoms and root causes, classified treatment and step-by-step implementation, and actively and steadily resolve the excess capacity and control the adjustment of production capacity and structure.

(2) Basic principles

-Adhere to the combination of market repression and government support. Give full play to the role of market reversal and government guidance, and under the guidance of the government, use market means to resolve excess capacity and control capacity. Governments at all levels are the main organizations to resolve excess capacity and control capacity; Each coal enterprise is the main body to resolve excess capacity and control capacity; The government gives policy support, and governments at all levels give financial awards.

-Adhere to the combination of resolving excess capacity and controlling capacity with transformation and upgrading. In accordance with the requirements of actively and steadily resolving excess capacity and combining control capacity with structural adjustment, transformation and upgrading, we will further promote structural adjustment and optimization and comprehensively promote the transformation and upgrading of the coal industry through the work of resolving excess capacity and controlling capacity.

-Adhere to the combination of classified treatment and step-by-step implementation. The work of resolving excess capacity and controlling capacity in the coal industry in the province has been actively and steadily promoted by classified treatment and step-by-step implementation, mainly in four ways: guiding orderly exit, suspending construction, reducing scale construction and continuing to implement transformation and upgrading.

(III) Work objectives

According to the general requirements of supply-side structural reform in our province, by 2018, the total coal production capacity of the province will be controlled within 70 million tons. On the basis of ensuring the completion of the 20.88 million tons of coal production capacity in the target responsibility letter signed by the state and our province to resolve the excess coal production capacity, we will further increase the intensity of guidance and withdrawal. According to the legal and compliant coal production base of each coal-producing state, city and unit, and on the basis of comprehensive consideration of the actual situation of local and relevant units, the goal and task of total coal production control in the province are decomposed into coal-producing States, cities and units.

Second, the key tasks

(A) strictly control the new capacity.

From 2016 onwards, all new coal mine projects, technological transformation projects with new capacity and nuclear capacity increase projects outside the capacity control scheme of the coal industry will be stopped for approval within three years. For coal mines that have been examined and confirmed by the transformation and upgrading plan and really need to be built, rebuilt, expanded, integrated for technical transformation and mechanized transformation within the capacity control plan, the relevant procedures shall be handled within a time limit and the project construction shall be completed within a time limit.

(2) Vigorously eliminate backward production capacity

Thirteen types of backward small coal mines identified by the General Administration of Safety Supervision and other departments, as well as coal mines whose mining scope overlaps with nature reserves, scenic spots and drinking water source protection areas, should be closed down and withdrawn according to law. Coal mines with a production capacity of less than 300,000 tons/year and major and above accidents in production safety, coal mines with a production capacity of 150,000 tons/year and major and above accidents in production safety, and coal mines that adopt coal mining methods and processes that are explicitly prohibited by the state and cannot implement technical transformation shall be closed and withdrawn.

(3) Effectively resolve excess capacity.

Coal mines that belong to the following circumstances shall be implemented in an orderly manner:

—— Safety and boundary: coal mines with coal and gas outburst, extremely complicated hydrogeological conditions, serious hidden dangers such as strong rock burst, and difficult to effectively prevent under the existing technical conditions; Coal mines that fail to meet the three levels of safety and quality standardization; The mining scope exceeds the scope stipulated in the mining license, and the mining depth exceeds the coal mine specified in the "Coal Mine Safety Regulations".

-Quality and environmental protection: Coal mines whose product quality cannot meet the requirements of the Interim Measures for the Quality Management of Commercial Coal. Coal mines whose mining scope overlaps with relevant environmentally sensitive areas designated according to law and needing special protection.

-Technology and scale: non-mechanized mining of coal mines; Coal mines below a limited scale; Coal mines whose mining technology and equipment are listed in the restricted catalogue of "Policy Orientation of Coal Production Technology and Equipment (2014 Edition)" and cannot be technically reformed.

-resources and other aspects: coal mines with exhausted resources and poor conditions for resource occurrence; Coal mines with long-term losses and insolvency; Coal mines that have stopped production or construction for a long time; Coal mines that do not undertake social responsibilities and have long-term unpaid taxes and social security fees; Other coal mines that voluntarily quit.

(D) Governance of unsafe production capacity

Further strengthen coal mine safety supervision, carry out investigation and management of potential safety hazards, and order coal mines with major safety hazards to suspend production for rectification. We will severely crack down on illegal production behaviors such as incomplete licenses and false data, and all coal mines that fail to effectively operate the safety monitoring system, fail to implement regional outburst prevention measures in accordance with regulations, fail to use safety expenses as required, and do not have safe production conditions will be suspended for rectification according to laws and regulations. Coal mines with incomplete capital construction procedures shall be ordered to stop construction, and those who refuse to stop construction or organize construction without authorization shall be closed according to law. Strengthen post-event supervision, stop production and implement rectification within a time limit for coal mines that fail to meet the requirements stipulated by the state, and withdraw within a time limit if they still fail to meet the requirements after rectification.

(5) Control the production of superpowers.

From 2016, the production capacity of coal mines will be re-determined according to the annual working time of no more than 276 working days. In principle, production will not be arranged on statutory holidays and Sundays. We will fully implement the announcement of coal mine production capacity and the production commitment system in accordance with laws and regulations, and urge coal mines to organize production in strict accordance with the announced production capacity. All coal mines with super-capacity production will be ordered to stop production and rectify.

Third, the main measures

-benchmarking. According to the relevant provisions of Guo Fa [2016] No.7 document on accelerating the elimination of backward production capacity and other production capacity that does not conform to industrial policies and orderly withdrawing excess production capacity, and the coal withdrawal capacity identification standard specified in the Letter of the National Development and Reform Commission on Asking to Sign the Responsibility Letter for Resolving Excess Production Capacity in the Coal Industry to Realize the Development Goal of Getting rid of Difficulties (No.245 [2016] of the Development and Reform Commission), the legal and compliant production capacity of coal mines in the whole province is the approved production capacity that has been registered and announced, and the coal mines or mines that have been approved by the project, reviewed and approved and started for the record. It is necessary to carry out the work of resolving excess capacity and controlling capacity in the coal industry on the basis of legally registered coal mines and their legal and compliant capacity confirmed by the transformation and upgrading of the coal industry.

-classified control. We should adopt the methods of guiding orderly exit, suspending construction, reducing scale construction and continuing to implement transformation and upgrading to classify and resolve the excess capacity and control the capacity of the coal industry.

-Total amount control. On the basis of fully completing the target and task of resolving excess coal capacity specified in the responsibility book for resolving excess coal capacity signed by the state and our province, we will ensure that the target and task of controlling the total coal capacity of our province will be completed by 2018. The target task of resolving excess capacity is to close the exit and cancel the approval or approval documents to exit the legal and compliant capacity sum of coal mine projects; The target task of controlling production capacity is to produce coal mines and continue to implement transformation and upgrading and reduce the scale of construction of coal mine projects.

-Program editing. On the basis of the reported plan to solve the excess coal capacity, the relevant states, cities and units have worked out the local capacity control plan according to the target and task of 70 million tons capacity control. The production capacity control plan is compiled by counties, cities and districts, and the people’s governments of the states and cities are responsible for the examination and approval; The provincial prison administration is responsible for the examination and approval of the capacity control plan for the coal mines belonging to the provincial prison administration; Yunnan Coal Chemical Industry Group prepares the capacity control plan, which is examined and approved by the provincial SASAC. The capacity control scheme after examination and approval by relevant states, cities and units shall be submitted to the Provincial Bureau of Coal Industry in conjunction with the Provincial Department of Land and Resources, the Provincial Safety Supervision Bureau, and the Yunnan Coal Supervision Bureau for joint examination, and shall be submitted to the Office of the Leading Group for Resolving Excess Capacity in the Steel and Coal Industry in Yunnan Province for the record. Relevant departments directly under the provincial level shall provide operational guidance on the preparation of capacity control schemes of relevant states, cities and units.

The outline of the production capacity control plan shall be issued separately by the Provincial Coal Industry Bureau, and the main points of the plan include the basic situation, control objectives, implementation steps, safeguard measures and organization and implementation. The key point of capacity control scheme audit is to meet the standards, the quantity control requirements, the classification scope and the time limit, and the core is to implement the capacity to specific mines.

-implementation of work. The relevant states, cities and units shall be responsible for the implementation of resolving excess capacity and controlling capacity, and the objectives of resolving excess capacity and controlling capacity shall be implemented in accordance with the responsibility book for resolving excess capacity and controlling capacity in the coal industry signed by the relevant states, cities and units and the relevant members of the leading group for solving excess capacity in the steel and coal industry of the province. The relevant departments at the provincial level shall supervise the implementation of the relevant States, cities and units afterwards, and strengthen supervision and inspection.

-assessment and acceptance. The work of resolving excess capacity shall be examined and accepted by the state, and the work of controlling capacity shall be examined and accepted by the provincial organization. The relevant state, city and unit shall, in accordance with the relevant requirements in the target responsibility book, timely complete the announcement and acceptance and other related work.

IV. Relevant policies

(A) fiscal policy

1. For the coal mines that are included in the goal and task of resolving excess capacity, while striving for the national coal industry to resolve excess capacity, the central government will award and supplement funds, and according to the national subsidy policies and standards, our province will give matching funds according to the ratio of 1: 1, and the matching funds will be 50% at the provincial level and the relevant States and cities. Continue to strive for the state’s financial support for guiding the withdrawal of coal production capacity, and our province will provide financial support according to the ratio of 1: 1. The elimination of coal mining enterprises belonging to the category of eliminating backward production capacity will only be included in the scope of fund awards in 2016.

2. Incorporated into the goal and task of resolving excess capacity, the award and subsidy funds for coal mines were issued after the relevant state, city and unit signed the target responsibility letter with the relevant member units of the leading group for resolving excess capacity and realizing development from difficulties in the steel and coal industry of the province.

4. The relevant departments directly under the provincial level shall co-ordinate the use of existing financial funds to support the coal industry in resolving excess capacity and controlling capacity.

5. Support coal enterprises to delay the payment of mining rights from May 10, 2016 to December 31, 2018. For the orderly direct closure and withdrawal of coal mines, the paid mining right price corresponding to the remaining resource reserves shall be refunded in time according to the regulations.

(2) Industry policies

1. According to the requirements of Document No.7 [2016] of Guofa, effectively resolve the excess capacity of coal, and actively guide the orderly exit of coal mines that have been included in resolving the excess capacity.

2. All coal mines that promise to suspend construction will stop construction, and the relevant construction procedures will be suspended within 3 years, and then the relevant procedures will be started after the national policy allows construction.

3. Commitment to the expansion and mechanization of coal mine projects with compressed scale construction. The construction scale of coal and gas outburst mines after compression shall not be less than 450,000 tons/year, and the construction scale of other coal mines after compression shall not be less than 150,000 tons/year. The coal mine whose original transformation and upgrading plan was confirmed as 90,000 tons/year may not apply for reducing the construction scale. Other construction projects shall be implemented in accordance with relevant industrial policies. After the construction scale is reduced, the administrative examination and approval of the preliminary design and safety facilities design of coal mines shall be changed and submitted for approval in accordance with relevant regulations.

4 compression scale construction and continue to implement the transformation and upgrading of coal mines, to speed up the compression scale construction and transformation and upgrading work, timely handle the relevant procedures. Relevant departments should, according to their respective responsibilities, simplify procedures, optimize processes, reduce the number of examination and approval reports, improve the efficiency of administrative examination and approval, and speed up examination and approval. In principle, parallel examination and approval shall be carried out, except as stipulated by laws and regulations, and the procedures of environmental protection, soil and water conservation and ground disaster shall be carried out at the same time. Compressed scale construction and continue to implement the transformation and upgrading of coal mines before obtaining the approval of the delineation of the mining area, the preliminary design of coal mines and the preparation and review of coal mine safety facilities design should be carried out simultaneously with the confirmation opinions of the office of the joint meeting of the provincial coal mine rectification and closure and the coordinate range of the mining area issued by the relevant industry authorities.

5. Coal mines that have obtained mining rights and promised to be included in resolving production capacity to withdraw from the project construction, cancel project approval, design approval and other documents, temporarily do not cancel the mining rights of coal mines, do not handle the transfer and change of mining rights, and do not refund the mining rights price. After the coal mine mining right expires, it may apply for extension in accordance with regulations. If the coal mine applies for closure and exit, the mining right shall be cancelled in accordance with the regulations and the remaining mining right price shall be refunded.

6. Reduce the scale of construction and continue to implement the transformation and upgrading of coal mines (including integrating other coal mines, integrating other coal mines and expanding the mining area, separately retaining and expanding the mining area, involving the integration of coal exploration rights, etc.). The degree of mineral resources exploration based on the application for delineating the mining area should meet the requirements of the current regulations, and large and medium-sized coal mines should reach the level of exploration; Small coal mines should reach the level of exploration in principle; Simple deposits should reach the level of detailed investigation and meet the requirements of mining design. If a production coal mine with mining right applies for expanding mining in its deep and peripheral areas by using the original production system, the degree of resource exploration within the scope of the expanded area should, in principle, reach the level of detailed investigation. For coal mines that have not expanded the mining area, the production geological report that has been reviewed and filed by the relevant provincial departments can be used as the design basis for the preliminary design and safety facilities design of coal mines with a capacity of 210,000 tons/year or less.

7. The production exploration report reviewed and filed can be used as the geological basis for the design of coal mine projects. The geological exploration degree of the first mining area meets the design requirements, and the design compilation and approval can be carried out.

8. Matters related to coal mine management, such as resource reserve report, development and utilization plan, mine geological environment protection and restoration treatment and land reclamation plan, soil and water conservation plan, environmental impact assessment, etc., shall be handled at different levels, that is, coal mines with a capacity of 300,000 tons/year or less shall be reviewed (filed), examined and approved by the functional departments of the state and municipal people’s governments according to the principle of territoriality, except for safety approval and safety facility design review; Coal mines with a capacity of over 300,000 tons/year shall be reviewed (filed), examined and approved by the relevant provincial departments. For decentralized projects, according to the principle of "who approves, who is responsible", the implementation plan should be formulated according to law, the examination and approval behavior should be standardized, and the announcement system of project examination and approval should be implemented on a monthly basis. At the same time, the responsibility of the person in charge of examination and approval and the staff should be strengthened, the responsibility content should be refined, and the accountability procedures should be clarified. The relevant departments at the provincial level should do a good job in guiding, coordinating, tracking and supervising the subordinate departments.

9. Coal mines that reduce the scale of construction and continue to implement transformation and upgrading (including integrating other coal mines, integrating other coal mines and expanding the mining area, separately retaining and expanding the mining area, involving the integration of coal exploration rights, etc.) should carry out geological work according to the confirmed mining area, and apply for delineating the mining area after completing the resource reserve review. On the basis of the approval document for delimiting the mining area, and on the basis of the resource reserve report, development and utilization plan and environmental impact assessment report that have been reviewed (put on record), it is necessary to apply for the issuance of a two-year mining license, and if it involves expanding the production scale, it is also necessary to provide the documents approved by the relevant industry authorities for production capacity. Holding a mining license, a coal mining enterprise shall complete the paid disposal of mining rights and related requirements within 2 years, carry out the transformation of production system and apply for other relevant licenses; Before the paid disposal of mining rights is completed in accordance with the regulations, the transfer, alteration and mortgage of mining rights shall not be approved.

Coal mines that have reduced the scale of construction and continued to implement transformation and upgrading (including integrating other coal mines, integrating other coal mines and expanding the mining area, separately retaining and expanding the mining area, and involving the integration of coal exploration rights, etc.) continue to apply for improvement and demarcation of the mining area according to the mining area confirmed by the coal industry transformation and upgrading plan reviewed and confirmed by the joint meeting of the provincial coal mine rectification and closure work and the production scale determined by the capacity control plan audited and filed by the leading group office of the provincial iron and steel industry to solve excess capacity and realize development. For newly-built coal mines, other coal mines that are not included in the transformation and upgrading plan of the coal industry, and coal mines that promise to suspend construction, the approval and demarcation of mining areas will be stopped.

11. Support coal mining enterprises from May 10, 2016 to December 31, 2018, and suspend the pre-existing land reclamation fees and deposit the deposit for mine geological environment restoration and governance.

The relevant administrative examination and approval items of the coal industry in the province shall be handled in accordance with the relevant provisions of this opinion from the date of issuance of this opinion.

(3) Other policies

1. Formulate and implement policies related to the protection of workers’ resettlement rights and interests in the work of resolving excess capacity in the coal industry. Through the ways of transferring jobs, supporting entrepreneurship, internal retirement, public welfare post placement, etc., we will rationally arrange for the diversion of employees and safeguard their legitimate rights and interests.

2. Coal mines that need to be included in the scope of resolving excess capacity but meet the needs of residents living in forest areas and remote mountainous areas or undertake special supply tasks may be temporarily retained with the approval of the provincial people’s government. In principle, the reserved coal mines should be mechanized.

3. Accelerate the separation of social functions of state-owned coal enterprises, hand over "three supplies and one industry" (water supply, power supply, heating and property management) as soon as possible, and solve the problems left over by policy bankruptcy.

4. For coal mines with reduced construction scale, after the construction is completed within the prescribed time limit and the legal license is obtained and put into production, the relevant departments can confirm that they have completed the task of coal industry transformation and upgrading according to the reduced scale.

If the relevant provisions of the original coal industry transformation and upgrading are inconsistent with this opinion, it shall be implemented in accordance with this opinion.

V. Organization and implementation

(A) the establishment of a mechanism, a clear subject

The leading group for solving the excess capacity and realizing the development of extricating ourselves from difficulties in the steel and coal industry of the province coordinated and organized the work of solving the excess capacity and controlling the capacity in the coal industry, and made overall plans to promote the implementation of various tasks. Relevant coal-producing states, cities and units should establish corresponding leading bodies and working mechanisms according to the needs of resolving excess capacity and controlling capacity.

The province’s coal industry to resolve excess capacity and control capacity work by the provincial people’s government unified deployment, provincial departments and units responsible for the division of labor. The development and reform department (leading group office) is responsible for coordinating and resolving the excess capacity and controlling the capacity; The coal industry management department is responsible for the implementation of the work related to resolving excess capacity and controlling capacity in the coal industry and the relevant industry support policies, handling the relevant procedures for retaining coal mines and construction projects, and implementing industry safety supervision on coal mine safety production; The coal mine safety supervision department is responsible for handling the relevant procedures of the "three simultaneities" of the safety facilities of construction projects and the cancellation of the safety production license for closing and withdrawing from coal mines; The land and resources department is responsible for the transformation and upgrading of the mining rights of the reserved coal mines, and directly closes the relevant procedures such as the cancellation of the mining rights that have been withdrawn from the coal mines and the evaluation and liquidation of the paid mining rights corresponding to the remaining resource reserves; The safety production supervision department is responsible for the comprehensive supervision of coal mine safety production; The financial department is responsible for the financial support of the coal industry to resolve the excess capacity and control the capacity, and handle the relevant procedures for the refund of the paid mining right price corresponding to the direct closure and withdrawal of the coal mine surplus resource reserves; The human resources and social security department is responsible for formulating policies to protect the rights and interests of employees involved in the work of resolving excess capacity and controlling capacity in the coal industry; The financial department is responsible for the relevant financial support for the development of the coal industry to resolve excess capacity; The tax department is responsible for implementing the preferential tax policies related to resolving excess capacity and controlling capacity in the national coal industry; The environmental protection department is responsible for handling the relevant procedures for environmental protection of reserved coal mines.And investigate and deal with environmental violations of coal mine construction projects; The public security department is responsible for canceling the qualification certificate of blasting operation for coal mine closure, supervising the closure of coal mines to properly handle the remaining explosives, cooperating with the rectification of mine order, and cracking down on illegal acts that disrupt the coal industry and resolve excess capacity according to law; The administrative department for industry and commerce is responsible for canceling the business license of closing and withdrawing from coal mines according to law; The power supply department is responsible for retaining the power supply guarantee for coal mine production and construction, cutting off and closing the power supply of coal mines, dismantling power supply facilities, and investigating and handling illegal coal mine electricity consumption.

The people’s governments of coal-producing states and cities are the main bodies of the local coal industry to resolve and control the excess capacity; the provincial SASAC is the main body of the provincial state-owned enterprises such as Yunnan Coal Chemical Industry Group to resolve and control the excess capacity; the Provincial Prison Administration is the main body of its subordinate coal enterprises to resolve and control the excess capacity; and all coal enterprises are the main bodies to implement the above measures. The relevant member units of the leading group for the development of the steel and coal industry in the province to solve the excess capacity and get rid of difficulties signed the responsibility book for solving the excess capacity target and the responsibility book for controlling the capacity target in the coal industry with the coal-producing states, municipal people’s governments, provincial SASAC and prison administration respectively. The coal-producing states, municipal people’s governments, provincial state-owned assets supervision and administration commissions and prison administrations should fully judge possible contradictions and problems, conduct regular research and analysis, actively resolve contradictions, and ensure that all policies and measures are implemented.

(two) classification, step by step implementation.

According to the principle of "classified treatment and step-by-step implementation", the coal mines in the province are mainly classified in four ways: first, the coal mines that are voluntarily included in the capacity reduction are guided to withdraw in an orderly manner; Second, for coal mines that are unwilling to be included in the dissolved capacity, coal mine owners can promise to be included in the scope of suspended construction, and coal mines that are included in the scope of delayed construction, maintain the status quo, suspend the relevant procedures, and start the relevant procedures after the national policy allows construction; Third, go through the relevant procedures for coal mines that promise to reduce the scale of construction according to the scale of compression; Fourth, continue to improve the relevant procedures for coal mines that continue to carry out transformation and upgrading work. 2016 is the start year for the province’s coal industry to resolve excess capacity and control capacity, focusing on publicity and guiding the orderly exit of excess capacity; 2017-2018 is a crucial year, focusing on the orderly withdrawal of production capacity; 2019-2020 is the closing year, focusing on inspection, implementation, assessment and acceptance.

(3) Effectively resolve and advance in an orderly manner.

In strict accordance with the requirements of Guofa [2016] No.7 document, the production capacity of all production coal mines in the province will be re-determined by direct determination in accordance with relevant regulations, and the production capacity verification report will no longer be compiled and reviewed. The provincial coal industry management department is responsible for the unified confirmation and publicity of re-determining the coal mine production capacity, and reducing some existing coal mine production capacity by re-determining the production capacity, reducing production and other means, effectively resolving excess capacity and controlling production capacity. Taking Qujing, Zhaotong, Honghe, Dali, Lijiang and other coal-producing counties and cities as key areas, focusing on eliminating backward production capacity and other production capacity that does not meet the requirements of industrial policies, taking the lead in breaking through and promoting the work of resolving excess production capacity and controlling production capacity in the coal industry in an orderly manner.

(D) Strengthen supervision and pay attention to publicity.

The relevant departments at the provincial level should supervise and inspect the work of resolving excess capacity and controlling capacity in the coal industry of each coal-producing state and city, and the provincial government supervision office should organize special supervision in a timely manner. The people’s governments of coal-producing states and cities, as the main body of the local coal industry to resolve the excess capacity and control the capacity, should establish and improve the target responsibility system, determine the tasks step by step, clarify the division of responsibilities, complete them on time according to the standards, and include them in the responsibility assessment and supervision matters, so as to achieve the goal implementation, measures implementation and responsibility implementation. It is necessary to strengthen the supervision of the whole process of resolving excess capacity and controlling capacity, publicize the annual completion of the tasks of resolving excess capacity and controlling capacity to the public, and establish a reporting system.

Pay attention to the role of the news media in guiding public opinion, carry out various publicity activities through newspapers, radio, television, the Internet, etc., widely and deeply publicize the significance and policy measures of resolving excess capacity and controlling capacity to achieve development out of difficulties, vigorously publicize the advanced experience and work achievements of resolving excess capacity and controlling capacity to achieve development out of difficulties, and create a good public opinion environment for the province’s coal industry to resolve excess capacity and control capacity to achieve development out of difficulties.

International Metropolis Strategy 2023 | Singapore: Focus on Digital Economy and Green Shipping

[Editor’s Note]

New york, London, Paris, Tokyo, Hong Kong and Singapore, these first-tier international metropolises, what urban grand strategies have been formulated in 2023? These strategies or measures indicate the direction and thinking of the transformation of foreign metropolises, and represent the top-level thinking of these head cities. The series of articles "International Metropolis Strategy 2023" written by the Metropolitan Dynamic Tracking Group of Shanghai Development Strategy Research Institute will comprehensively sort out and deeply interpret the urban strategies of six first-tier international metropolises, and provide reference for Shanghai to better build a socialist modern international metropolis with world influence.

This article is the sixth in a series of articles, and looks at how Singapore formulates urban development strategies in the aspects of digital economy and digital security, green and digital shipping, economic and urban recovery, and overseas strategies of enterprises.

Singapore. Vision china data map

Singapore is located at the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula and at the entrance and exit of the Straits of Malacca. In 2022, it has a total population of 5.64 million, covering an area of 733 square kilometers, with a GDP of 468.12 billion US dollars and a per capita GDP of 83,000 US dollars. According to the forecast of the International Monetary Fund, the growth rate is expected to be 1.5% in 2023, exceeding 470 billion US dollars. In 2023, Singapore’s key strategies mainly focus on digital economy and digital security, green and digital shipping, economic and urban recovery, and overseas strategies of enterprises.

1. Singapore’s digital economy strategy has achieved remarkable results, and the scale of digital economy accounts for 17.3% of GDP.

Singapore released the first "Singapore Digital Economy Assessment", which showed that the scale of Singapore’s digital economy reached 106 billion yuan, accounting for 17.3% of GDP. Singapore is establishing a digital economy accounting system to measure the scale of the digital economy. In 2022, the scale of Singapore’s digital economy will reach S $106 billion, including S $33.1 billion in the information and communication industry.

In terms of digital industrialization, e-commerce, games and network services have the fastest growth rate. In terms of industrial digitalization, financial and insurance, wholesale trade and manufacturing industries have the fastest digital transformation. In addition, in 2022, there were 201,100 digital talents in Singapore, accounting for 5.2% of the total labor force, and the number of digital management and product developers grew the fastest.

2. Singapore Port cooperates with Los Angeles Port and Long Beach Port to establish a green and digital shipping corridor.

In April 2023, the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA), the Port of Los Angeles (POLA) and the Port of Long Beach (POLB) signed an agreement to establish green and digital shipping corridors between port complexes under the framework of the international city association (C40 city) to support the decarbonization of the shipping industry, improve efficiency through digitalization, and support the ships docked at the port complexes in San Pedro Bay, Singapore and Los Angeles to transition to low-emission and zero-emission fuels. The agreement also identifies digital shipping solutions and sets standards and best practices for green ports and alternative marine fuel refueling, including sharing experiences on international platforms such as IMO.

By the end of 2022, there are 21 green shipping corridors in the world, including the ports of Shanghai and Los Angeles. Ports, shipping companies, fuel suppliers and other shipping industry chain stakeholders in the green shipping corridors have signed up to cooperate, and by introducing innovative technologies and adopting new fuels, greenhouse gas emission reduction or even zero emission targets can be achieved on specific routes. 

3. Singapore will build an employment skill system centered on engineering training to enhance the employability of green economy.

As of June 2023, the unemployment rate in Singapore remained at a low level of 2.1%, and many indicators monitored by Singapore, such as the number of employed people in 2023, the long-term unemployment rate of residents, the number of laid-off people and the re-employment rate of laid-off residents within six months, were better than those in 2019. The Employment Skills Insight Report released by Singapore will build an employment skills system centered on engineering training, focusing on the energy levels of engineers and technicians in the green economy. The report emphasizes that from 2023 to 2030, Singapore’s national skills will focus on engineering training to support Singapore’s Green Plan 2030.

4. Singapore actively builds the world’s leading national digital trust center to enhance digital security and cross-border mobility convenience.

Singapore has established the National Digital Trust Center, with an investment of S $50 million. It will build a world-leading digital trust technology center from four aspects: trust technology research, trust technology innovation, new sandbox environment and new digital trust talents. At present, the center has cooperated with Britain and other countries on cross-border data flow and digital contracts. Singapore’s move is also regarded as an important measure to build a global digital financial center.

5. Singapore has built a large language model to meet the needs of multiculturalism and multilingualism, and is committed to building a language network.

Singapore took the lead in launching the flagship artificial intelligence project costing S $70 million to develop the first large-scale language model ecosystem in Southeast Asia to meet the diverse cultural and language needs of the region, and at the same time help Singapore become the global leader in artificial intelligence solutions in 2030. At present, Singapore Artificial Intelligence (AISG) has launched the first Southeast Asian Language Network (SEA-LION) system to support Singapore to become the language and voice center of Southeast Asia.

6. Singapore launched artificial intelligence strategy 2.0 to enhance its economic potential.

Singapore’s artificial intelligence strategy 2.0 aims to meet the challenges of today’s era and enhance Singapore’s economic and social potential in the next three to five years. Version 1.0 of artificial intelligence strategy was released in 2019, focusing on the application of artificial intelligence in education, medical care and social security. Version 2.0 of artificial intelligence will focus on the artificial intelligence ecosystem and support innovation and economic development through artificial intelligence, with the theme of "AI for public good, for Singapore and the world".

7. The HDB system in Singapore will be greatly adjusted and optimized, and the inclusiveness will be further enhanced.

In August 2023, Singaporean Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong announced that he would further reform the HDB system, including changing the classification of HDB from the existing "mature/immature areas" to "standard/preferred/golden areas", and setting stricter resale conditions and holding periods for the latter two HDB. For example, the minimum holding period (MOP) of HDB in gold and preferred lots will be raised from 5 years to 10 years, and the purchase allowance will also be refunded at the time of sale. To achieve "ensuring that people of all salary classes can afford HDB flats, ensuring that every town and region has a good social mix, allowing people of different classes to live in HDB flats, and ensuring that the system is fair to all." The new classification of HDB is expected to curb the rapid rising trend of existing HDB prices and ease the contradiction of demand.

8. Singapore Enterprise Development Board has established overseas sub-centers to continuously expand its overseas network.

During Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong’s visit to the United States, the Singapore Enterprise Development Agency opened an overseas sub-center in San Francisco to serve the innovative activities of Singaporean enterprises in San Francisco. Singapore took a fancy to San Francisco’s innovation system and ecology, focusing on enhancing the cooperation between the two innovation systems and ecology. At present, about 200 companies in Singapore have set up regional headquarters in the United States, covering medical care, financial technology, consumer technology, manufacturing and retail. In the past five years, the number of Singaporean companies in the United States has increased by 23%.

9. Singapore has gradually expanded its digital Singapore dollar electronic money experiment.

The Singapore government outlined the infrastructure needed to digitize the Singapore dollar, and announced that it would expand the experiment in digital currency. Monetary authority of singapore (MAS) will also issue a real-time central bank digital currency (CBDC) for batch settlement, and plans to start developing CBDC for batch interbank settlement in 2024. The expanded digital currency experiment will cover four areas: token bank liabilities, wallet interoperability, supplier financing and institutional payment control. These will be carried out with industry participants including various commercial organizations and financial institutions to check related infrastructure components and business models. At the same time, Ant International, Fazz(Note: a digital payment financial service platform, which was formed by the merger of Indonesia Payfazz and Singapore Xfers Company)And Grab(Note: South Asia Network Car Rental and Food Delivery Platform Company provides services including online car rental, food delivery, hotel reservation, online banking, mobile payment and insurance. )The pilot will be launched around the concept of special currency to facilitate Alipay users to pay GrabPay merchants.

10. Singapore started to formulate relevant technical standards after completing the first marine methanol fuel replenishment.

Replacing low-carbon fuel with methanol is a strategy to decarbonize the shipping industry, which accounts for 3% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Singapore carried out the first methanol filling operation in July 2023, which may pave the way for methanol to be used as marine fuel. With the global delivery of methanol ships, more methanol filling operations will be planned in the coming year.

After the first operation, the Singapore Chemical Industry Council and the Standards Development Organization of Singapore Maritime Safety Administration (MPA) will formulate technical references for the operation and safety requirements of methanol filling. The Singapore Maritime Bureau will also lay a further foundation for the establishment of commercial methanol operations, including licensing and infrastructure requirements. As the shipping industry moves towards full decarbonization, methanol is an important substitute.

The proportion of digital economy and green economy in Singapore has increased, and HDB reform has been carried out.

Over the past two years, Singapore has become the "online celebrity City" in Asia. Excellent urban management, stable political system, never-absent scientific and technological layout and forward-looking overseas strategy make Singapore an "investment paradise".

In 2023, the exchange rate of Singapore dollar against Malaysian ringgit rose all the way, and the enthusiasm of Singaporeans for spending across the Johor Strait to Johor Bahru and other places continued to rise. Tharman shanmugaratnam won with 70.40% of the vote and became the ninth Singaporean president.

In 2023, the proportion of digital economy and green economy in Singapore’s urban strategy increased significantly. In particular, the digital economy has enabled Singapore to once again break through the restrictions of narrow space (the last breakthrough was the establishment of major industrial parks overseas) and play a greater role in the virtual space. Singapore’s path to developing green economy has always been clear: if it can’t completely win from technology and economies of scale, then it should participate in the global green economy competition in the formulation of standards and frameworks.

Finally, talk about the HDB system in Singapore. Since the era of Lee Kuan Yew, Singapore has adhered to the concept that "people’s livelihood is the greatest democracy". Du Fu’s poem-"There are thousands of buildings in Ande" still hangs in the hall of Singapore Housing Bureau. HDB has solved the housing problem of 70% Singaporeans. Singapore has also reserved the area around the subway station with the best location, the most mature facilities and the most complete facilities for HDB. Compared with other metropolises, Singapore is a veritable "people’s city". In 2023, the detailed measures of Lee Hsien Loong’s HDB reform were obviously to improve the inclusiveness of HDB and strengthen the residential property of HDB again.

  People’s Daily Online, November 14th (Reporter Zhao Yongxin) At the opening ceremony of the 2018 China (Beijing) International Technology Transfer Conference, the Beijing Zhiyuan Action Plan was officially released, and the Beijing Academy of Artificial Intelligence (BAAI) was unveiled. Wang Zhigang, Party Secretary and Minister of the Ministry of Science and Technology, and Chen Jining, Deputy Secretary of Beijing Municipal Committee and Mayor, attended the meeting.

  In his speech, Mayor Chen Jining pointed out that Beijing Zhiyuan Artificial Intelligence Research Institute is another important new research and development institution in Beijing, following the Brain Science and Brain-like Research Center and the Quantum Information Science Research Institute. The research institute will gather superior units in the field of artificial intelligence, such as Peking University, Tsinghua University, China Academy of Sciences, Baidu and ByteDance, and adopt new scientific research organization forms and talent introduction and training modes to promote the development direction of artificial intelligence and key breakthroughs in theories, methods, tools and systems. Beijing will gather government, enterprise and social data on this platform, build new open source artificial intelligence tools, and integrate the computing power of universities and large enterprises, and open them to various AI R&D institutions, and welcome artificial intelligence researchers from all over the world to participate in the use.

  Xu Qiang, director of Beijing Science and Technology Commission, released Beijing Zhiyuan Action Plan. Under the guidance and support of the Ministry of Science and Technology and the Beijing Municipal Government, the plan was jointly proposed by government departments, enterprises, universities and institutes. It is the top-level design for the development of artificial intelligence in Beijing and an action plan to gather the wisdom of all parties.

  The vision and goal of Beijing Zhiyuan Action Plan is to support scientists to break into the "no-man’s land" at the forefront of artificial intelligence science and technology, to promote revolutionary and subversive breakthroughs in artificial intelligence theories, methods, tools and systems, to lead the frontier of artificial intelligence and the direction of technological innovation, to promote Beijing to become the source of global artificial intelligence academic ideas, basic theories, top talents, enterprise innovation and development policies, to support the development of artificial intelligence industry and to promote the depth of artificial intelligence.

  Beijing Zhiyuan Action Plan is an integrated and open system, focusing on four tasks — —

  First, with shared data, intelligent computing programming framework and computing infrastructure as the core, we will promote open source algorithms, build an innovative ecology, and build an open service platform for Beijing Zhiyuan.

  Second, promote original innovation and build a high-level joint laboratory. Beijing Zhiyuan Joint Laboratory will be built with national and provincial-level scientific and technological innovation bases or independent laboratories in the field of artificial intelligence as a unit, and research teams and projects will be arranged around major core basic theoretical issues in the field of artificial intelligence, so as to carry out interdisciplinary and collaborative innovation research and serve the national artificial intelligence development strategy.

The research institute will give full play to the main role of enterprises, while the government will focus on formulating policies, creating environment and providing good services.

[Going into the countryside to see a well-off society] Enriching people’s industries brings new life.

  Cctv news(news broadcast): rural revitalization, industry first. Today (July 11th), we went into Weining, Guizhou, and Guang ‘an, Sichuan to see how the local villagers got rid of poverty and became rich through characteristic industries and lived a well-off life.

  Liangshan Village in Weining County, Guizhou Province is more than 2,600 meters above sea level. Every morning, Ma Minxun’s family will drive to their own contracted alpine cold vegetable base to work. A year ago, Ma Minxun was still working in other vegetable bases. This year, he also began to try to contract vegetable planting bases.

  Weining is located in wumeng mountain, with high altitude and mountainous areas, which is suitable for vegetable cultivation. However, due to lack of water, industrial development is difficult. In order to solve the worries of industrial development, in early 2020, Weining started the "water supply guarantee" project, laying nearly 10,000 kilometers of various water supply pipelines in the county, covering 280,000 mu of vegetable bases. With the guarantee of hardware and proper management, Ma Minxun got a bumper harvest of vegetables in the first quarter of this year. Agricultural experts from Guizhou University will also come to the village regularly to guide everyone in scientific planting. Today, the vegetables here not only meet the local demand in Guizhou, but also sell to Hunan, Guangdong, Southeast Asia and other places, and the average household income in Liangshan Village is more than 9,000 yuan.

  Vegetable cultivation has brought a new life to the villagers in Liangshan village. In Guang ‘an, Sichuan, villagers in Shihe Village recorded their "sheep" life with their mobile phones.

  The sheep raised by you Hanzhong is called Hu sheep, which comes from Huzhou, Zhejiang Province. In 2018, Huzhou, Zhejiang and Guang ‘an, Sichuan became partners in poverty alleviation cooperation between the east and the west, and launched the "Huyang into Sichuan" project to help the local development of characteristic industries. In 2019, You Hanzhong returned to his hometown to start a business. With the help of helping cadres, he set up a Huyang farm and participated in the management of lemon fields in the village. In two years, the ewes of Youhanzhong’s family have also developed from the initial 80 to more than 200 now. Lemon and Hu sheep have also become the characteristic recycling industries in the village.

  Hu sheep is big, grows fast, produces twice as much meat as goats, and has a good market, so it is quickly welcomed by the villagers. Relying on the Huyang industry, the local area has also developed a characteristic farm tour and a rural theme tour, and the villagers’ life has become more and more prosperous.
