On September 18, the plenary meeting of the leading group for the fifth national economic census in Sichuan Province, along with a province-wide televised and teleconferenced mobilization and deployment meeting for the "fifth economic census," was convened. Huang Qiang, Deputy Secretary of the CPC Sichuan Provincial Committee and Governor of the People's Government of Sichuan Province, attended the meeting and delivered a speech. He emphasized the need to thoroughly study and implement the important instructions and directives from General Secretary Xi Jinping regarding the economic census. He called for a meticulous implementation of the decisions and plans made during the fifth national economic census televised and teleconferenced meeting and the requirements of the CPC Sichuan Provincial Committee. The focus should be on conducting the census lawfully, scientifically, and in the service of the people. The goal is to complete the "fifth economic census" with high quality and high standards, ensuring that the results of the census better serve the high-quality development of the entire province.

Huang Qiang pointed out that the "fifth economic census" is a comprehensive, high-precision "scan" and a deep-level "examination" of economic and social development. It is instrumental in achieving the goals of maintaining economic growth and advancing high-quality development. It is of utmost importance to Sichuan Province and must be carried out without error. We must approach the census from a political perspective, fully understanding and steadfastly advancing it, taking into account its critical role in further consolidating Sichuan Province's position on the national economic map.

Huang Qiang stressed the importance of diligently adhering to the census requirements, ensuring the accuracy of the data, and efficiently advancing the work. We must significantly strengthen data quality control and absolutely prohibit any statistical falsification. We should ensure that all eligible subjects are included in the census and that the data is recorded accurately. We must also address any lingering or past problems appropriately, improve the mechanism for tracking and accountability, and firmly uphold the lifeline of data quality. We must rigorously adhere to the Statistics Law and the Regulation on National Economic Census, uphold confidentiality obligations, and effectively manage both data security and data sharing. We should summarize and share the insights gained from previous comprehensive pilot projects. Additionally, we should explore the use of technologies such as AI, big data, and cloud computing to boost the efficiency of the census through innovative approaches. We need to focus on the key census tasks, concentrate our efforts, and fully commit to overcoming challenges. We should conduct a comprehensive search and precise identification of all census subjects, with special attention to including the digital economy, building economy, and unregistered entities, to ensure that all market participants are thoroughly covered. We should simultaneously carry out the review of entities and the organization of data, planning and executing these tasks systematically and in distinct phases. We should strictly follow the national input-output survey plan, regularly update and maintain the sample unit database, and provide guidance and oversight to ensure that relevant entities accurately and comprehensively report their data. We must ensure that local authorities, industry regulators, and statistical departments fully embrace their primary responsibilities. It's essential to bolster support for the census teams by allocating sufficient funding and resources and maintaining an efficient working mechanism. Additionally, proactive measures should be taken to plan and execute publicity, mobilize participation, and shape public opinion. This will accelerate the formation of a synergy for joint management.

Huang Qiang also emphasized the need for better coordination between development and security. He stressed the paramount importance of focusing on high-quality development. Learning from the lessons of the flood disaster in Jinyang County, it's crucial to ensure that laws like the Law of the People's Republic of China on Work Safety are deeply ingrained in the minds and actions of frontline employees. This involves considering worst-case scenarios, making comprehensive preparations, establishing a closed-loop supervision mechanism, and being fully prepared for and responsive to the challenges brought by heavy rainfall. Safety measures in all aspects must be diligently implemented. While ensuring safety and quality, there should be no delays or relaxation, not even for a moment. We need to act swiftly and decisively, taking immediate measures to boost indicators such as private investment, real estate, imports, and exports. This is to ensure they recover rapidly and to guarantee the completion of annual objectives and tasks. We must steadfastly shoulder the significant responsibilities of being a major economically developed province.
