Keep the bottom line of energy security
In response to the energy security issues that reporters are concerned about, Ren Jingdong said that the bottom line of energy security will be kept from three aspects.
First, do a solid job of solidifying a strong foundation. Give full play to the ballast role of coal and the basic regulatory role of coal power, vigorously enhance the exploration and development of oil and gas, and strive to achieve an annual comprehensive energy production capacity of more than 4.6 billion tons of standard coal by 2025. The second is to do a solid job of orderly replacement. Focusing on the needs of long-term development, comprehensively build a clean energy supply system such as wind, light, water, and nuclear power, solidly promote the construction of major hydropower and nuclear power projects, and coordinate the construction of large-scale wind power photovoltaic bases focusing on desert, Gobi, and desert areas.

Significant improvement in quality. From January to August this year, my country’s utilization of foreign capital was 892.74 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 16.4% on a comparable basis. In general, multinational companies have confidence in investing in China and are optimistic about the Chinese market for a long time.

There is a view that “taking the domestic cycle as the main body” means that China will significantly shrink in opening up to the outside world. Zhao Chenxin stressed that this understanding is wrong. Building a new development pattern is an open domestic and international dual cycle, not a closed domestic single cycle.
