　　Xinhua News Agency reporters Hou Xuejing and Wang Libin

　　This year, under the severe test of the north-south flood disaster, the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, the meticulous organization, scientific scheduling and full response of the State General Administration of Defense, the General Administration of Flood Control in all river basins and the local party committees, governments and flood control and drought relief headquarters, and the concerted efforts and tenacious struggle of the broad masses of soldiers and civilians in Qi Xin ensured the safety of people’s lives and property to the greatest extent. According to statistics, compared with the average value of the same period since 2000, the affected area of crops, affected population, dead population and collapsed houses decreased by 14%, 27%, 49% and 57% respectively. The whole country won the victory of flood control and flood fighting at the least cost, and spent a very unsettled year in 2016.

　　Deploy ahead of time and build a "responsibility levee" for flood control and flood fighting.

　　Affected by the super El Ni? o event, this year, the whole country entered the flood season early and lasted for a long time, and rare storms and floods occurred in many places. 473 rivers in 28 provinces across the country exceeded the police. Taihu Lake has the second highest water level in history. The biggest flood occurred in the Yangtze River basin since 1998. The biggest flood occurred in the south of Haihe River since 1996. Eight typhoons landed in China, four of which reached the magnitude of strong typhoon … …

　　"Starting from the most unfavorable situation, work hard in the best direction!" The National Defense General Administration and the Ministry of Water Resources put all their efforts into flood control and flood fighting, and held a plenary meeting of the National Defense General Administration one month in advance; Flood control inspection one month in advance; "One province, one order" will be rectified within a limited time, and the implementation will be urged; Revise and improve the emergency plan for flood control and drought relief & HELIP; … In this flood season, the leaders of the National Defense General and the Ministry of Water Resources held daily rolling consultations, and video conferences were held several times during the critical period of "seven downs and eight ups" for re-deployment and re-implementation.

　　The main responsible comrades of local party committees and governments at all levels personally deployed and commanded, and implemented their responsibilities. At the critical moment of flood control in the Yangtze River, the National Defense General announced for the first time the list of 885 grass-roots administrative responsible persons in important dike sections, with detailed responsibility decomposition to ensure that "one section and one responsibility" is taken care of by special personnel and the dike is impregnable. In all river basins, provinces and cities, the responsibilities are clearly defined step by step, and the pressure is transmitted layer by layer, so as to build a "responsibility levee" for flood control and flood fighting.

　　Fighting floods is a battlefield and an examination room. Organized in an orderly way, flood control and flood fighting are powerful, orderly and calm.

　　Rolling revision of large-scale flood control key reservoirs in the Yangtze River, Taihu Lake, Haihe River and Yellow River basins. According to the characteristics of different river basins, different flood types and different defense requirements, the emergency response to flood control and typhoon prevention was launched 19 times.

　　In reservoir dispatching, dam defense, mass transfer and secondary disaster prevention, at the critical juncture of flood control and flood fighting, the National Defense General has sent more than 320 working groups, expert groups and supervision teams to the front line.

　　At the critical moment when it is difficult to connect flood-fighting and emergency materials, the Ministry of Finance of the State Administration of Defense arranged a huge subsidy of 3.767 billion yuan for flood control and drought relief, fully supporting the local authorities to do all kinds of prevention and response work.

　　Scientific scheduling, water conservancy projects become the mainstay.

　　Compared with more than 9000 dangerous places in the Yangtze River embankment in 1998, there are only 50 general dangerous places in the Yangtze River embankment this year. The direct economic loss of Taihu Lake Basin due to the disaster was 7.528 billion yuan, accounting for 0.12% of the basin’s GDP(2014), far lower than 7.8% in 1991 and 1.6% in 1999, which created a miracle that no one died or disappeared due to the disaster.

　　The decisive battle for the catastrophic flood in 2016 was a comprehensive test of the remarkable improvement of comprehensive national strength in the past 38 years of reform and opening up, and a grand "baptism" was held for the Chinese forces fighting floods and floods in a special form.

　　Natural disasters are unfortunate, but fortunately, the level of flood control and flood fighting ability in China is not what it used to be.

　　The flood control system is more perfect. After the flood in 1998, the state invested nearly 30 billion yuan to speed up the reinforcement of the Yangtze River trunk dike, making the 3,900-kilometer standardized dike "strong and strong". This is a microcosm of the remarkable improvement of the country’s disaster prevention capability. Up to now, China has built 98,000 reservoirs with a total storage capacity of 932.3 billion cubic meters.

　　The hard "card" of engineering system is in hand, and the guarantee of non-engineering system is strong. Since 2011, the state has invested 27.9 billion yuan, realizing the basic coverage of the monitoring network in the mountain flood disaster prevention and control area.

　　Engineering scheduling is more scientific. "If the Three Gorges Reservoir and the Upper and Middle Reaches Reservoir jointly dispatch reservoirs to cut peaks and store floods during the flood season this year, the consequences will be very serious." Zhang Jiatuan, inspector and spokesperson of the National Defense Office, said.

　　At the critical stage of flood control in July, the Three Gorges and the upper and middle reaches of the Yangtze River were jointly dispatched, and the flood in the upper and middle reaches of the Yangtze River was stopped by 22.7 billion cubic meters, which reduced the flood peak level of the upper reaches of Chenglingji in Dongting Lake by 0.8-1.7 meters, the flood peak level of Chenglingji in Dongting Lake by 0.7 meters, and the flood peak level of the lower reaches of Wuhan by 0.2-0.4 meters, thus realizing that the Shangjing River does not exceed the police, the flood storage and detention areas near Chenglingji in Dongting Lake do not divide floods, and the important dikes of the Yangtze River do not It is precisely because of the interception of the Three Gorges Project that the comprehensive benefits of the reservoirs are maximized.

　　Join forces to fight floods, and all directions help to show institutional advantages.

　　During the flood season this year, the CPC Central Committee and the State Council made immediate arrangements, all members of the National Defense General performed their duties, and all localities and departments worked together and acted quickly, forming a strong joint force to unite and fight floods.

　　The People’s Liberation Army (PLA) and the Armed Police Force (CAPF) gave full play to the role of the main force and commandos, rescued and transferred more than 700,000 people, reinforced more than 1,000 kilometers of dams and grabbed more than 1,200 kilometers of access roads. The public security department dispatched 2.36 million police officers to evacuate, transfer and rescue more than 2.35 million trapped people, effectively maintaining social order in the disaster areas.

　　Modern flood control and fighting is a battle of ability and strength.

　　The National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Finance increased their support for water conservancy construction and flood fighting and disaster relief. The Ministry of Finance allocated 15.48 billion yuan for flood control and drought relief, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of Finance allocated 7.906 billion yuan to urgently allocate 41,000 tents, 166,000 beds (pieces) of clothing and other central materials to the hardest hit areas such as Hubei, Jiangsu and Hebei.

　　The transportation of materials is the lifeblood of modern flood control and flood fighting.

　　The transportation and railway departments quickly repaired the roads and railways damaged by water, successfully rescued more than 300 people in distress at sea and more than 40 ships, and realized the prevention of strong typhoons twice without casualties. The Ministry of Agriculture organizes fishing boats to return to Hong Kong to take shelter from the wind and guide the disaster areas to resume agricultural production.

　　Modern flood control is also a public health war.

　　Health and family planning departments have strengthened health and epidemic prevention, treating more than 800,000 patients and killing more than 300 million square meters in the environment.

　　Industry and information, housing and construction, commerce, safety supervision, energy and other departments do their jobs and serve the overall situation.

　　… …

　　The socialist system fully demonstrates its advantages of concentrating on doing great things.

　　Life is paramount, and 14.61 million people in danger zones have been transferred ahead of schedule — — Almost equal to the population of a medium-sized country in Europe, and ensure that the affected people have food, shelter and medical treatment when they are sick … … This is a party and government that is highly responsible for the safety of people’s lives and respects and fears life.

　　It is a key measure for the CPC Central Committee and the State Council to stabilize the macro-economic market to implement a large-scale combined tax refund and tax reduction policy. Shenyang Municipal Bureau of Finance has promoted its position to focus on politics. In accordance with the requirements of the "Four Refinements" special action of the province’s financial system, it regards the implementation of the tax rebate and tax reduction policy as an important opportunity to help market players solve problems, so as to provide timely rain and help enterprises to ensure that the national policy dividend will be effective.

　　One isStrengthen the responsibility of "height". The central subsidy funds will be fully distributed to all districts and counties (cities) in the first time, so as to achieve "one pole in the end" and ensure that the real money for tax refund and tax reduction can quickly reach the market players. Adhere to the city’s "one chess game", work under the leadership of the municipal party committee and the municipal government, establish an inter-departmental coordination mechanism for tax refund and tax reduction policies in Shenyang, and set up a special working group. The team leader is the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and the executive deputy mayor, and the members include finance, taxation, the People’s Bank of China and other relevant departments, further clarifying the relevant requirements of fund guarantee, emergency guarantee, data exchange, etc., and forming a working system with their own functions, coordination and efficient operation. Organize local finance and taxation departments to carry out research and study on policies related to tax refund, calculate the scale of tax refund and tax reduction in the local area in advance according to the subsidy from higher authorities, and make overall arrangements for funds.

　　The second isImprove efficiency and "speed". Relying on the tax big data platform, we will screen in advance and register market entities that meet the policy conditions, so that the situation is clear and the base is clear. Effectively play the role of the inter-departmental coordination mechanism of finance, taxation and the People’s Bank of China, compress the handling process, improve the audit efficiency, and ensure that market players know the policies and handle business at the first time. By the end of May, the city had handled 8.29 billion yuan of VAT refund, benefiting 19,300 market entities. Other tax reductions of 494 million yuan benefited 160,000 market players, achieving "early retirement, quick retirement and steady retirement".

　　The third isOverall management to ensure "progress" Strengthen the monitoring and analysis of the operation of treasury funds, guide all districts and counties (cities) to strengthen the management of treasury funds, rationally plan and use funds, increase the frequency and intensity of fund dispatching in areas with tight funds, and ensure that the national treasury in each region has the funds needed for tax refund for half a month. According to the provincial tax refund subsidy scheme and the tax refund plan provided by the tax authorities, the matching degree of tax refund demand and transfer payment is calculated. For large tax rebates beyond the financial affordability of counties (cities), the emergency guarantee mechanism is started, and the provincial and municipal finance gives emergency fund scheduling support to ensure the timely disbursement of tax refund funds.

　　The fourth isThe combination policy shows "strength". In addition to fully fulfilling the VAT refund and other tax reduction policies, efforts have been made to overcome the pressure of phased reduction and actively implement the tax deferral policy for small and medium-sized enterprises in manufacturing. Up to now, 11,400 market entities have been granted tax deferral, with a scale of 1.403 billion yuan. In order to alleviate the financial pressure caused by large-scale tax refund and tax reduction in all districts and counties (cities), the municipal finance took the initiative to sink its financial resources, and with the strong support of the central, provincial and municipal governments, distributed 26.39 billion yuan of various subsidies to all districts and counties (cities) in time to ensure that the implementation of tax refund and tax reduction policies was not discounted and should be refunded.The fifth is to strengthen the strict "scale" of supervision. Thoroughly implement the spirit of Premier Li Keqiang’s important directive of "resolutely cracking down on tax evasion and tax fraud", take advantage of the opportunity of the special rectification action of financial order, coordinate with the departments of finance and taxation, increase the monitoring of the direction of funds, tighten the "fence", effectively prevent the phenomenon of tax refund and tax reduction special funds occupying pressure in the way, intercepting and misappropriating, and ensure the standardized and safe use of financial funds. Strengthen the prevention and control of the whole process before, during and after the tax refund, conduct panoramic scanning and accurate portrait of risks, and take targeted measures to achieve accurate supervision. Severely crack down on the illegal behavior of enterprises "fishing in troubled waters", publicly expose it, and form a shock.
