The path and countermeasures of increasing government’s governance capacities in energy-saving renovation of existing buildings

The dual functions of government participation and governance in the development of the existing building energy-saving renovation market determine the importance of the government’s scientific and effective actions.Continuously improving the government’s role is to promote the effective operation of the existing building energy-saving renovation market.Based on the inherent requirements of improving the government governance capacity in the development of the existing building energy-saving renovation market,this paper constructs the implementation path for the development of the existing building’s energy-saving renovation market from the three dimensions of practical concept,practical process and practical methods.From the four aspects of improving the legal and regulatory system,building a market information sharing platform,establishing a sound market supervision mechanism,and consolidating and improving the market accountability system,we will structure the existing building energysaving renovation market development to improve the government’s ability to restrain and implement measures.From the four levels of improving the market incentive mechanism,optimizing the market financing environment,clarifying the position of market resource allocation,and building a social operation platform,design measures to improve government incentives in the development of the existing building energy conservation renovation market.From the shaping of governance yuan organizational roles,governance capacity and responsibilities of departments at all levels to define boundaries,to build four main interactive platform governance perspective,the main parties demand balance the interests of both the governance capacity development planning in the government market,building energy-saving market to enhance the implementation of countermeasures.In order to promote the healthy and sustainable development of the existing building energy-saving renovation market based on the enhancement of government governance capacity.

China’s Government Information Capacity,Medical Resource Allocation and COVID−19 Prevention and Control

The fight against the COVID−19 epidemic is a war against an“invisible enemy”.Access to accurate information and appropriate allocation of medical resources are key to containing the spread of the virus as soon as possible.The Chinese government has great power to collect information from individuals and basic-level organizations.It also has strong ability to pool and allocate medical resources.The fight against COVID−19 can be deemed as a quasi-natural experiment and based on this,we examine how government information capacity and medical resource allocation influence epidemic prevention and control in 286 Chinese cities(prefecture level and above).The fi ndings are as follows:(1)Government information capacities improve the effectiveness of prevention and control policies.At city level,for every 0.1 point of increase in government information capacity score,the number of confi rmed cases will reduce by 66.5,and the number of deaths per 10000 people will be down by 0.008.(2)The quantity of medical resources available has no direct influence on the effectiveness of epidemic prevention and control,but higher allocation efficiency does bring higher effectiveness.(3)The government can,on the one hand,allocate public resources based on information,and on the other hand guide the flow of social resources by releasing relevant information.Both can improve the allocation efficiency of medical resources.These fi ndings have some policy implications for improving global emergency management.

Development of Chinese Cultural Governance since the Reform and Opening-up

Contemporary Chinese cultural governance is an important part of the national governance system and the modernization of national governance capacity. It must combine international experience and local method together and run through the whole process of cultural system reform. The good governance of culture is the goal pursued by Chinese cultural governance, which displays the management process of maximizing cultural public interest. In the new era, cultural governance reform has experienced governance subject centralized to pluralism, governance space from inside to outside, governance method from ruling by man to the rule of law, governance path from control-oriented government to service-oriented government. To further improve Chinese cultural governance in the new era, relationships between top-level design and grass-root innovation, cultural democracy and cultural concentration, national cultural interests, social cultural interests and cultural interests of the citizens, domestic cultural governance and global culture must be dialectically dealt with. In the government-market-social governance structure, mutual assistance of multiple missions and win-win of multiple subjects can be achieved, thus promoting harmony of multiple interests.

National Capacity for Good Governance:Why Has the Social Project for Poverty Eradication Been Successful?

The absolute poverty eliminated by China has been a chronic affliction of human society.In the course of modernization,China has completed the building of a moderately prosperous society in all respects,thus embarking on a path of Chinese-style modernization that is committed to poverty eradication and common prosperity.Eradicating poverty and its root causes is a social project that transformed human society,creating a miracle on earth.The current and continuing success of this project lies in China’s unique national capacity for good governance,including its national capacity for mobilization,organization,transformation,development,and integration.This capacity is determined by the nature of the socialist system;the“sacred mission”of the Communist Party of China(CPC)provides it with inexhaustible impetus and a fundamental institutional guarantee.The national capacity for good governance is a specific manifestation of China’s institutional strengths.

The Reforming Logic of State-owned Enterprise Corporate Governance:Proceeding from National Governance to Corporate Governance

The top-level design of national governance plays a leading role in reforming the corporate governance of state-owned enterprises(SOEs)at the micro level.Following the overall objectives of comprehensively deepening reforms,this paper argues that the objective of SOEs corporate governance reform at this stage should be to improve and develop the SOEs corporate governance system with Chinese characteristics and modernize SOEs corporate governance system and governance capacity.To achieve this ambitious objective,this paper considers the theory of SOEs corporate governance with Chinese characteristics,and then explores the concrete manifestation and implementation pathway to the modernization of SOEs corporate governance system and governance capacity.This paper thus enriches the theory of corporate governance and provides insights into the newera SOEs corporate governance reform.

The State Logic of Modernizing the Governance System

The governance system is the institutional carrier and mechanism guaranteeing the operation of the state.The Western governance dilemma and China’s governance practice show that state dominance is the intrinsic logic behind the modernization of the governance system.As a worldwide issue,the core question in the logic of state modernization of the governance system is to develop governance rules,procedures and orders that effectively respond to and resolve the problems of the state-society relationship.In other words,state logic is rooted in the historical process of the dynamic evolution of the building of the state-society relationship community,and looks toward practice in solving the issue of balanced national development.In advocating a modern governance system led by state logic,China does not simply wish to continue the master page of its history and culture,but to hold fast to being guided by the issues and focusing on the transformation of the principal contradictions of Chinese society to bring about good governance that is oriented toward the people,in order to systematically respond to the major adjustments in national governance variables brought about by IT development and globalization.In the current context in which governance solutions dominated by the logic of capital have difficulty coping with global problems of development,adhering to the logic of the state in modernizing the governance system not only helps us break away from “polycentric governance” and correctly ensures that the state plays an authoritative and leading role in the governance system while also providing an institutional framework and mechanism that achieves social justice,improves market efficiency and fosters social autonomy,thus forging a new type of civilization for national and global governance on a global scale.
