Coordinating rural-urban education and institution innovation

In order to implement the spirit of the Sixteenth National People＇s Congress to accelerate development of rural education, deepen reform of rural education, guarantee a well-off society, and harmonize rural and urban development, coordinating ruralurban education is the key to China＇s development. At present, the rural-urban coordinating education is influenced by many factors, including rural-urban income difference, rural-urban educational resources difference, rural-urban background difference, and rural- urban institutional difference. In order to realize the coordinating development of rural-urban education, we need innovation in ＂Hukou＂ institution, land institution, financial institution and rural education institution. Institution innovation would be the guarantee to the coordinating rural-urban education.

The Basin Water Resources Management System and Its Innovation in China

Water provides the origin of human survival and prosperity,and the basic resource for the maintenance of terrestrial eco-systems,their biodiversity,productivity and ecological services.With China’s recent,rapid growth both in population and economic development,the water shortage has become one of the most constraints on its ecological restoration and socio-economic development,especially in the arid inland regions of northwest China.At first glance,this water shortage in China appears to be a resource crisis.But second,an in-depth analysis reveals that the water shortage crisis arises mainly resulting from the poor water management system and operating mechanism that cannot facilitate fair allocation and efficient utilization of water resources both regionally and nationally and thus is viewed as a crisis of water manage-ment.The solution of China’s water shortage and low-efficient utilization problem will,in particular,require a fundamen-tal and substantial reform or innovation of the existing water management system and operating mechanism.In this paper,we address explicitly the problems existed in the current water management system,explore the basic theory of water re-sources management and provide some insights into the way how to establish a river basin based integrated water re-sources management system in China.

Research on the Impact of Innovation Drivers on the Quality of Economic Growth in China

The quality of economic growth is a prominent issue in the process of economic growth worldwide.This paper builds relevant econometric models and uses the provincial panel data from 2003 to 2015 to analyze the impact of innovation drivers on China’s economic growth.The empirical results show that technological innovation and institutional innovation have a significant role in promoting the quality of China’s economic growth,and the effect of institutional innovation is stronger than that of technological innovation.In terms of regions,the innovation driver has the greatest contribution to the quality of economic growth in the eastern region of China,with the western and central parts ranking second and third.However,the role of institutional innovation in the eastern region is prominent,and the role of technological innovation is weak.Only institutional innovation in the central region has a significant role in promoting the quality of economic growth.Only technological innovation in the western region has a positive effect on the quality of economic growth,and the impact is weak.The regional differences in the impact of innovation-driven economic growth are obvious.

Leading High-Quality Development of Service Industry with Institutional Innovation

To realize the transition from high-speed growth to high-quality development,it is necessary not only to change the way and path of economic growth,but also to speed up the improvement of the institutional system that is compatible with highquality development.China has unique institutional advantages in promoting the high-quality development of the service industry(HQDSI),but the service industry is a typical institution-intensive industry that faces higher institutional barriers than the manufacturing industry.Therefore,institutional reform and business environment optimization are particularly important to the promotion of HQDSI,and the effect is also very prominent.Facing the future,we should lead HQDSI by building a high-standard socialist market economy,promote the high-quality and efficient development of the service industry by standardizing it,and encourage the innovation and entrepreneurship of the industry by improving the institutional environment,thus steadily boosting HQDSI in the new era of reform and opening up.

Institutional innovation and systematic construction of teacher education in the transformational period

Teacher education in China has entered an important period of transformation which requires institutional innovation and systematic construction.Teacher education institutions should be gradually reshaped to meet the needs of elementary and secondary schools that are run on an autonomous basis.A system of teaching qualification certification and teacher education institution accreditation should be established.Further,a system of curriculum appraisal of teacher education as well as the performance assessment of teacher education institutions should also be set up.In the meantime,making corresponding policies is necessary to accommodate the reform and development of teacher education.

A Review of Innovation in Chinese Firms over the Last 40 Years: Navigating the Winding Road toward Innovation

In this paper,we review the innovation experiences in China from 1978 to 2018 across four unique stages.Our analysis of these four stages allows us to offer suggestions for future innovation in this country.First,we describe the innovation strategy,innovation performance,and limitations during each stage.Innovation in China was initially motivated by a shortage of food and other necessities of life.The transition from a centrally planned economy to a market-oriented economy created learning opportunities to promote innovation based on absorptive capacity.As latecomers,Chinese firms have endeavored to catch up with innovation leaders from developed countries,with some gaining an innovation-based global competitive advantage.However,most Chinese firms are still lacking in core technology.Second,we summarize the innovation characteristics of Chinese firms over the last 40 years.Despite their increasing innovation capability,they have just begun their journey toward real core innovation.Most Chinese firms are short of core technology.As cost advantage decreases,more firms proactively invest in endogenous innovation to create new advantages.Third,we provide suggestions for future innovation practices,academic research,and research policy.In the future,Chinese firms should pay more attention to the innovation ecosystem,digital innovation,and business model innovation.Chinese governments at different levels should make more efforts to build a new ecosystem based on socialism with Chinese characteristics.Furthermore,future academic research should emphasize the unique characteristics of innovation in China and the innovation ecosystem.

Development Reorientation of China's Free Trade Zones under the New Development Paradigm of Dual Circulation:On the Reform Path of Free Trade Zones for the High-Quality Development of China's Economy

Against the backdrop of China's development reality for the time being and upholding the basic logic of boosting the high-quality development of China's economy,the authors give the historical background,realisticclogic,theoretical connotation,and strategic significance of the new development paradigm of dual circulation a thorough interpretation.On this basis,the authors conduct a detailed analysis of the development path between China's Free Trade Zones(FTZs)and the new development paradigm of dual circulation,as well as the new orientation of FTZs under this paradigm.Focusing on systems thinking,the new development paradigm of dual circulation not only opens up a new realm of open economic theory with Chinese characteristics but also enriches the socialist political economy with Chinese characteristics.From the perspective of the new development paradigm of dual circulation,China's FTZs serve as a reform test field and a powerful starting point for driving the high-quality circulation ofChina's economy.From another perspective,it is also an open bridgehead and a significant window for China to participate in international economic circulation.In this sense,China's FTZs remain the key hub linking domestic and international circulations.China's FTZs should be given greater reform autonomy.Whilefocusinggon the differentiated exploration and development models,the dividends of the first trial system should be fully utilized to integrate China's FTZs into the national open development strategy.Thus,high-level open practice can be anticipated to boost the virtuous circle of domestic and foreign economies,with concerted efforts and drive China's economy toward a high-quality future.

An Innovative Path of the Hainan Free Trade Port from the Perspective of Global Experience

The construction of the Hainan Free Trade Port(FTP)should not only exploit the advantages of the socialist system with Chinese characteristics but also research and draw on the advanced institutions and successful experience of typical international free trade ports.The emergence of typical international free trade ports in Singapore,Dubai,and Chinese Hong Kong depends on an embedded international economic and trade order and institutional innovation practices.Both conditions are interactively embedded through a series of institutional designs with similar characteristics.The paper sorts out the necessary factors of the successful practice of typical international free trade ports,and proposess that the Hainan FTP should continue to exert its advantages by building on existing institutional innovation.At the same time,it should actively embed the regional multilateral international and economic and trade landscape represented by the Belt and Road Initiative and expedite institutional innovation and reform,and development in different fields,to create a socialist free trade port with Chinesecharacteristics.
