The work meeting of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development will set the key tasks. How will the property market go next year?
How to adjust the property market next year? Recently, the meeting of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development clearly put forward eight key tasks for next year, demanding to keep the real estate market running smoothly.
On December 21st, the National Conference on Housing and Urban-Rural Construction was held in Beijing. The meeting summarized the housing and urban and rural construction work in 2020 and the 13th Five-Year Plan, analyzed the situation and problems faced, and put forward the overall requirements and eight key tasks for next year.
The eight key tasks include: fully implementing urban renewal actions to promote high-quality urban development; Steadily implement the long-term mechanism scheme of real estate to promote the stable and healthy development of the real estate market; Vigorously develop rental housing and solve the outstanding housing problems in big cities; Strengthen urban governance and promote the construction of resilient cities; Implement rural construction actions to improve the level of rural construction; Accelerate the development of "China Construction" and promote the transformation and upgrading of the construction industry; Continue to promote reform and innovation and strengthen the construction of laws, regulations and standards system; Strengthen the overall leadership of the Party and build a contingent of high-quality cadres.
Give priority to expanding domestic demand and accelerate urban renewal and transformation of old urban communities.
This time, among the eight key tasks put forward by the work conference of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, the first key task is to fully implement urban renewal actions and promote high-quality urban development. At the same time, comprehensively promote the transformation of old urban communities.
The meeting mentioned that the way of urban development and construction should be effectively changed, urban planning, construction and management should be coordinated, urban structure optimization, functional improvement and quality improvement should be promoted, new urbanization with people as the core should be further promoted, and the construction of livable, green, resilient, intelligent and humanistic cities should be accelerated. Improve the urban spatial structure and build an urban system with central cities, metropolitan areas and urban agglomerations as the main body, and coordinated development of large, medium and small cities and small towns. Implement the urban ecological restoration function improvement project to improve the quality of human settlements. Strengthen the protection of history and culture, and shape the urban landscape. We will comprehensively promote the transformation of old urban communities, accelerate the construction of complete residential communities, and promote property enterprises to vigorously develop online and offline service industries. We will carry out in-depth pilot work on the construction of new urban infrastructure and explore the formation of a mechanism and operation mode that can be replicated and promoted. Systematize the whole region to promote the construction of sponge cities, coordinate the promotion of urban waterlogging control, and consolidate the effectiveness of urban black and odorous water treatment. Further promote the classification of domestic waste.
Interpretation: This year’s work conference of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development will put "fully implementing urban renewal and comprehensively promoting the transformation of old urban communities" in the first place.
Xu Xiaole, chief analyst of RealData, pointed out that urban renewal is a major livelihood project and development project. The recent Central Economic Work Conference pointed out that it is important to adhere to the strategic basis of expanding domestic demand and combine expanding consumption with improving people’s quality of life. Urban renewal and the transformation of old urban communities are important links. 2020 can be said to be the "first year" of the transformation policy of old urban communities. For the first time, the government work report clearly defines the annual renovation target of old residential areas, and 1-mdash; In November, 39,700 old urban communities were newly renovated, benefiting nearly 7.25 million households. After exploration and practice, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development recently issued a list of replicable policies and mechanisms for the transformation of old urban communities to provide guidance for future transformation work.
Zhang Bo, dean of the branch of 58 Housing Research Institute, also mentioned that no matter from the information revealed by this year’s two sessions or the recent Central Economic Conference, the renovation of old residential areas will be an important starting point for the subsequent improvement of urban living and life. The renovation of old residential areas is not just as simple as "taking over" shed reform. From the difficulty and time span of promotion, the industries involved in the promotion will obviously exceed shed reform, and at the same time, many industrial opportunities will be born.
Long-term mechanism of real estate regulation and control from "safe implementation" to "full implementation"
In terms of real estate regulation and control, the meeting mentioned that the long-term mechanism plan for real estate should be implemented steadily to promote the stable and healthy development of the real estate market. Firmly adhere to the position that houses are used for living, not for speculation, and fully implement the long-term mechanism of real estate.
Interpretation: Since 2016, the long-term real estate mechanism has been proposed for five years. In 2019, the working meeting of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development put forward the "long-term mechanism plan for the stable and healthy development of the real estate market", which further clarified that "the long-term mechanism plan for real estate should be implemented steadily to promote the stable and healthy development of the real estate market". Firmly adhere to the positioning that houses are used for living, not for speculation, and fully implement the long-term mechanism of real estate. "
Xu Xiaole, chief analyst of RealData, said that in 2020, even if the epidemic hit the economic development, the real estate regulation did not relax, but the warming of local markets triggered the intensive introduction of "one city, one policy" in the second half of the year. According to statistics, more than 20 cities have made adjustments in policies such as restricting purchases, loans and sales. At the same time, from the regulation in the second half of the year, we can see that the early warning mechanism of real estate market supervision has been strengthened, and the coordination and linkage of local government departments have been strengthened. In the future, the long-term mechanism will replace the periodic regulation of real estate, and the development of the real estate industry will return to its original source and play a better role in supporting the macro-economy.
The goal of "three stabilities" was not mentioned.
It can be seen that compared with the working conference of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development in 2019, the regulatory objectives of "stabilizing land prices, stabilizing housing prices and stabilizing expectations" were not mentioned in this meeting.
Xu Xiaole said that "three stability" is not a short-term goal, but a goal to be normalized in recent years. There are still great uncertainties in domestic and international economy, finance and trade next year, and the domestic real estate market should still adhere to the main tone of "housing and not speculating" and keep the prices, land prices and market expectations stable. This year, the real estate market is generally stable, but a few cities have experienced differentiation and fluctuations, and the main responsibility for regulation lies in cities. In the past, the means of regulation and control were mainly administrative and short-term policies such as purchase restriction and sales restriction, but they are turning to long-term market mechanisms such as finance (such as three red lines) and taxation to dynamically and structurally adjust the market. This is the progress of China’s long-term real estate regulation and control means and reduces the administrative distortion of the market.
Real estate regulation will be supervised in the whole process before and after the event.
The meeting mentioned strengthening the main responsibility of the city, improving the mechanisms of policy coordination, regulation linkage, monitoring and early warning, public opinion guidance, market supervision and so on to keep the real estate market running smoothly.
Interpretation: Although the meeting did not mention the "three stable" goals, it was clear that real estate regulation and control will be supervised in the whole process before and after the event.
Yan Yuejin, research director of the think tank center of Yiju Research Institute, said that the expression "policy coordination, regulation linkage, monitoring and early warning, public opinion guidance, and market supervision" combines pre-and post-regulation, marketization and administrative means, which has a positive effect. In terms of long-term mechanism, it is expected that four major price supervision systems will be formed, including the first-hand housing price system, the second-hand housing price system, the rental market price system and the land price supervision system, which will play a positive role.
Clarify the importance of renting housing to alleviate the outstanding housing problems in big cities
The meeting mentioned that we should vigorously develop rental housing and solve the outstanding housing problems in big cities. Strengthen the construction of the housing market system and housing security system, speed up the filling of the shortcomings of rental housing, and solve the housing problems of new citizens, young people, especially those engaged in basic public services and other housing difficulties. Accelerate the construction of a housing security system with affordable rental housing and shared property housing as the main body. Expand the supply of affordable rental housing, do a good job in ensuring public rental housing, and focus on developing policy rental housing in big cities with net population inflow. Standardize the development of the housing rental market, accelerate the cultivation of specialized and large-scale housing rental enterprises, and establish and improve the housing rental management service platform. Rectify the rental market order and standardize market behavior. Steadily promote the transformation of shanty towns. Further improve the housing provident fund deposit, use and management mechanism.
Interpretation: The Central Economic Work Conference and the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development Conference have focused on clearly solving the outstanding housing problems in big cities, and the housing problems in big cities have attracted attention.
Xu Xiaole pointed out that in the meeting of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, the housing problem in big cities and the development of rental housing were expressed together, which clarified the importance of leasing in alleviating the contradiction between housing supply and demand, especially in big cities. In the future, the development of housing leasing will continue to exert its efforts in increasing the supply of rental housing, ensuring and expanding the rights and interests of leasing, standardizing and supporting the development of leasing enterprises, and then the rent will be more stable, and leasing will truly become a long-term living choice.
Chen Xiao, an analyst at Zhuge Housing Search Data Research Center, also pointed out that this meeting clearly put forward for the first time the establishment of a housing security system with affordable rental housing and shared property housing as the main body, and asked for the development of policy-based rental housing in big cities with net population inflow, which reflected the concept of policy-based housing, conformed to the principle of housing and housing without speculation, put forward a clear direction for strengthening housing security construction, paid special attention to rental groups in big cities, helped to protect people’s livelihood, and played an important role in promoting the goal of living and living.
The long-term rental apartment industry will be rectified and the regulatory policies will be more perfect.
The meeting mentioned that we should standardize the development of the housing rental market, accelerate the cultivation of specialized and large-scale housing rental enterprises, and establish and improve the housing rental management service platform. Rectify the rental market order and standardize market behavior.
Interpretation: Compared with the leasing enterprises that have accelerated the cultivation of specialization and scale in the past, the meeting of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development also mentioned "standardizing the development of the housing leasing market and rectifying the order of the leasing market".
Wang Xiaoying, an analyst at Zhuge Housing Search Data Research Center, said that this year, due to the epidemic situation, the rental market has declined, and long-term rental apartments have been hit hard. The Danke Apartment incident also revealed that the long-term rental apartment industry needs more perfect regulatory policies at present, and it is expected that the long-term rental apartment policy will be more perfect next year. Under the policy support and detailed supervision, long-term rental apartment institutions will also face the adjustment of strategic direction in 2021.

We can’t have a reunion dinner: we are going home for others on the way.
The illegal spot trading platform set up a "beauty" scam to target men over 35 years old.
On WeChat, have you ever met a "sister" with a very beautiful avatar who took the initiative to chat up and told you that "she" earned 100,000 yuan a month? In the chat, the "low-key luxury" girl is white, rich, beautiful and considerate, and cares for you … … In fact, this is a well-planned "beauty" investment scam, focusing on men over 35 years old and with a certain economic foundation in the name of spot investment. After all kinds of showing off your wealth, unconsciously, you have fallen into this carefully laid-out WeChat marketing routine.
Insider of self-explosion of employees before the spot platform:
Customers lose money, company employees get commission.
Recently, with the support of the municipal anti-fraud center, Yueqing police in Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province cracked a series of online virtual investment fraud cases and smashed fraud gangs in the name of investment spot, involving tens of millions of yuan.
Similar cases may happen around us. Last week, Mr. Yi, who once worked in a spot trading platform, told the Beijing Morning Post reporter that the illegal spot platform used "beauty" marketing to focus on men over 35 years old, and after defrauding the trust, it finally made investors suffer huge losses and obtained the investor’s principal.
Mr. Yi told the Beijing Morning Post that he had worked in a secondary member unit of a crude oil spot trading platform. "One of my customers in Beijing invested 50,000 yuan and earned 110,000 yuan in a short time. The company called directly, so I have to make customers lose money! " Mr. Yi said that he did not agree and chose to leave. But what he didn’t expect was that the company directly obtained the customer’s password, reversed the operation, and finally made the customer lose money completely.
Secret of the whole process of "Beauty" WeChat marketing
Start saying hello
Open WeChat, and suddenly a beautiful "beauty" greets you. Unsuspecting, you may click "accept" and "beauty" appears in your circle of friends.
Mr. yi: You know what? The "beauty" seen on WeChat is actually just the male salesman of the company.
Step 1 Chat
You will see that the circle of friends of "beauty" will be updated every day, and your own life photos will be exposed. "Beauty" is always "low-key luxury", either a fragrant bag or a famous car, or traveling around. "Beauty" will also chat with you, from far to near, from birth to maturity.
Mr. yi, the informant: A male salesman will have such a "beauty" partner, and when voice or telephone contact is needed, the "beauty" will appear in time. But I would like to ask, which "beauty" has the time to type and chat with you when she has nothing to do?
Step 2: Invite and fry the spot.
Mr. yi, the whistleblower: In addition to "Beauty" WeChat marketing, illegal spot platforms generally use live broadcast rooms, QQ groups and other means to attract customers. After customers enter the live broadcast room or QQ group, there will generally be a "master" teacher to guide everyone to operate, and the "teacher" has a huge number of fans. "But the truth is that these fans are often fake by company salesmen in various names, and they are all childcare."
If you continue to talk, you will also find out that "beauty" makes money almost every day in "speculation" … … When you have a crush, "Beauty" will invite you to join the group or send you a QQ number to recommend a "teacher" who calls himself "analyst".
Step 3 "Teacher" Guidance
As soon as you join the group, you will find that the "teacher" has many "fans" and the guidance of the "teacher" is "good cow"! At first, under the guidance of "teachers", you will make money soon. But in the following days, your good luck will not be so much.
Mr. yi, the informant: The "teacher" is watertight when guiding the operation. If the predicted direction is correct, the "teacher" will say, "Look, listen to me, did you do it right?" If the direction is opposite, the teacher will say, "This suggestion is for reference only."
And fell into a bottomless pit
After constantly "buying up and buying down", the money you put in has gradually become a bottomless pit. You come with a dream of making money, but the other person is thinking about your principal.
Mr. yi, the whistleblower: The ultimate goal of the illegal spot trading platform, whether it is beauty marketing or teacher guidance, is to make you trust "beauty" or "teacher" so that you can shout out "empty orders or multiple orders" which are contrary to the market trend, and eventually the customers will lose money and the company will make money. In some illegal spot platforms, if the client’s funds lose money, the person in charge of the company and the investment director will have a certain proportion of the share, and the instructor will also have a commission of 5% to 10%.
■ Industry views
CSRC:
Clean-up depends on local governments.
In recent years, there have been many disputes on platforms with spot, crude oil, silver and some bulk commodities as trading targets. Not long ago, Chen Baifeng, director of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, introduced that by the end of September this year, there were 369 cases or clues involving illegal securities and futures. 54 cases were transferred to public security organs and 78 cases were transferred to local governments or industrial and commercial departments. So far, the public security organs have filed 27 cases and arrested nearly 200 suspects.
The State Council once issued Guo Fa [2011] No.38 Document, and the General Office of the State Council also issued the Implementation Opinions on Cleaning up and Rectifying Various Trading Places (Guo Ban Fa [2012] No.37). "Both documents clarify the principle of who approves and who manages. Spot trading places are approved by local governments, and the responsibility of cleaning up and rectifying them is also the responsibility of local governments. The joint meeting mainly plays a role in supervision and coordination. " Chen Baifeng said, therefore, the final clean-up and rectification of illegal spot trading platforms still depends on the strength of local governments.
■ Background link
There are only 8 state-level exchanges.
Spot trading is a new investment channel. There are many spot trading markets in China, most of which are approved by local governments, and they mainly participate in the operation of bulk primary raw materials, including agricultural products, metals, building materials and other trading varieties.
The operation methods of spot trading and futures trading are very similar. Both transactions are T+0, which can amplify leverage, and there is a short-selling mechanism, which is very flexible, unlike stocks that can only be long. Spot trading platforms are mostly approved by local governments, and each trading platform trades different varieties, with a large leverage ratio of up to 1:100.
The Beijing Morning Post reporter learned that at present, there are only eight state-level exchanges approved by the State Council in China:
1. Shanghai Stock Exchange;
2. Shenzhen Stock Exchange;
3. China Financial Futures Exchange;
4. Shanghai Futures Exchange;
5. Zhengzhou Commodity Exchange;
6. Dalian Commodity Exchange;
7. National Small and Medium-sized Enterprise Share Transfer System (New Third Board);
8. Shanghai Gold Exchange.

Beware of falling into the "known trap"! "Israel-Kazakhstan War" or "Palestinian-Israeli Conflict"? Expression is very important
▲3515 made a pair of "cold-resistant boots" to keep warm and prevent slipping.
Bring your own anti-slip grip! Skating through the snow and galloping freely
From the very beginning of this round of Israeli-Palestinian conflict, there have been different statements about some facts in this conflict. For example, whether this conflict is called "Palestinian-Israeli conflict" or "Israel-Kazakhstan conflict" is quite controversial on the Internet. Another example is the Israeli captured by the Palestinian resistance. Are they called "hostages", "prisoners of war" or "detainees"? Many military fans also use them casually, so what should we think of these words?
Ivan the Great’s point of view, there is no doubt that the power of language will define the nature of the event, and what words are used to describe what happened on the east coast of the Mediterranean Sea directly reflects the attitude of a certain country and individual towards this event. For example, Israel did not hesitate to call those who were taken away by resistance organizations "hostages", and the United States and other western countries also called them "hostages". Seeing this scene, many military fans in our country were puzzled and followed the cry of "hostages, hostages".
In fact, the word "hostage" did have the meaning of "the population plundered by war forced the enemy to agree to certain conditions" in ancient Chinese. However, in the context of modern Chinese, the word "hostage" is mostly used in scenes such as illegal crimes and terrorist attacks. Who will catch "hostage"? Kidnappers take hostages, terrorists take hostages. Therefore, Israel and others refer to the people taken by Hamas as "hostages", which is in line with Israel’s slander of resistance organizations as terrorists. China does not recognize Hamas as a terrorist organization, but neither does it recognize Hamas as a national army. Without a national army, there is no right to engage in war, and the term "prisoner of war" is not applicable. Therefore, as you can see, at the CCTV level, our name for these people is unified as "detained persons", which is very neutral.
The so-called "Palestinian-Israeli conflict" and "Israel-Kazakhstan conflict/war" are also the same. The reason why China describes this conflict as "Palestinian-Israeli conflict" is that on the one hand, it recognizes that the resistance organization led by the Palestinian Islamic resistance movement can represent the resistance spirit of the Palestinian people to a certain extent and is enough to be a representative of the Palestinian people; On the other hand, it is believed that the wanton bombing of the Gaza Strip by the Israeli army has made the victims of the conflict all the Palestinian people, which makes this conflict have the nature of total war and is enough to be called "Palestinian-Israeli conflict".
However, some people who keep saying "Israel-Kazakhstan conflict" literally understand "Israel-Kazakhstan" as if Hamas is detached from the existence of the Palestinian people and can neither act as the representative of the Palestinian people nor exercise the right of resistance on their behalf. At the same time, it also makes Israel’s war goal seem to point only at Hamas and have nothing to do with the Palestinian people. Obviously, this is by no means the case …
Compared with War of Resistance against Japan, can we call the September 18th Incident a "conflict between Japan and Zhang" and the national government’s war of resistance against Japan and Chiang Kai-shek? Obviously not, which dilutes the significance of War of Resistance against Japan’s national war of resistance and inter-state war. This is also the real concern of these people who keep saying "Israel-Kazakhstan conflict"-Hamas’s "illegal resistance" has caused heavy casualties in the Gaza Strip and cannot represent the interests of the Palestinian people. To put it bluntly, this is a routine with the well-known anti-Japanese guerrilla warfare that attacked the enemy’s rear.
In fact, according to these people’s ideas, we can also call the current Russia-Ukraine conflict "Russia-Jersey conflict"-after all, Hamas is more like a person than the Kiev ruling group, which has "sold, sold and sold" the country. You ask these people who keep saying "Kazakhstan-Israel conflict", who is willing to change their words to "Russia-Azerbaijan conflict"? I can guarantee that 99.99% of people are unwilling, so, isn’t that enough?

I’ve lied to you for too long about these six women’s physiological knowledge!
As a girl, I must have heard these "proverbs":
Massage can breast enlargement.
Dysmenorrhea can’t take painkillers.
Virgins bleed for the first time.
……
And these words are regarded as "truth"
Actually, it’s all-Cheat! People! Yes!
Massage can breast enlargement.
The chest can be felt big, why do women spend a lot of money on breast augmentation?
The reason is simple, this free "touch" can’t make the chest bigger.
The size of the chest is purely a matter of life!
Excessive massage increases the risk of breast lesions.
Be careful when the chest doesn’t get bigger, but people are in the hospital.
Dysmenorrhea can’t take painkillers.
The first thing to understand is that ibuprofen is the painkiller for dysmenorrhea.Belonging to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugsThis medicine is not addictive.
Addictive painkillers are opioids, which are prescription drugs and will not be sold in pharmacies at all.
Secondly, dysmenorrhea usually lasts for 1~2 days.
Taking a few painkillers won’t have any big impact on your body.
Therefore, don’t endure dysmenorrhea.
A painkiller will make your stomach feel better.
Virgins bleed for the first time.
The scientific name of hymen is called "vaginal flap", which is a connective tissue with holes in itself.
Some of these holes are big, some are small, and their elasticity is different.
Generally speaking,The younger the woman, the thicker the vaginal flap will be, and the elasticity will naturally be poor.At this time, if you have sex, you are more vulnerable to injury and bleeding.
In ancient times, because women got married earlier, the situation of "falling red at the first night" would be widespread.
However, with the increase of age, the hymen will gradually become thinner and its elasticity will increase.Having sex doesn’t necessarily cause vaginal valve breakage and bleeding.
Gynecological diseases are caused by disorderly life.
Admittedly, some gynecological diseases are caused by sexual life.
But having sex and disorderly living are not the same thing!
Even women with a single partner may increase the risk of gynecological diseases if they are not cleaned beforehand, or if their male partner’s foreskin is too long (which is easy to hide germs and dirt).
And sex life is not the only way to get gynecological diseases.
Even without sex,It is possible for viruses and bacteria to invade the reproductive system because of low immunity., causing gynecological diseases.
After giving birth, you won’t have dysmenorrhea.
90% of dysmenorrhea belongs to primary dysmenorrhea.
Only dysmenorrhea caused by endometriosis can be relieved after childbirth.
So this method is not effective for everyone.
Relieving dysmenorrhea should not be considered as a "welfare" for having children.
Washing is healthier.
The animation is from SOOGIF.
The truth of gynecological lotion is"The more you wash, the worse it gets.".
There are flora beneficial to human body in vagina, and bactericidal and bacteriostatic products can also kill them, which will kill friendly bacteria by mistake!
In the long run,The balance of vaginal flora is destroyed, and instead of being sick, it is washed out..
The correct way to clean private parts is to scrub with water.
You don’t need to fix anything fancy.
How many girls are deceived by these "pseudo-common sense"?
Now it is time to restore the truth!
Welcome everyone to forward the circle of friends and let more people know that they have been cheated!
