福建漳州:深入实施乡村振兴十大行动******
作为农业大市,近年来,福建漳州市深入实施乡村振兴十大行动重点任务,扎实推进乡村振兴试点示范项目建设,推动乡村产业、人才、文化、生态、组织全面振兴,巩固拓展脱贫攻坚成果,加快推进农业农村现代化。
“种业是农业的核心竞争力,是国家战略性、基础性核心产业。”在漳州市农业农村局一级调研员林德泓看来,乡村振兴需要持续加大对种业的支持力度,坚持品种与产业发展相结合,发挥良种支撑作用,加快推进农业农村现代化。
“漳州是农业大市,传统种植品种的经济价值渐渐低了,农户的收入也少了。农户要增收,发展优质品种尤其重要,好品种的效益能达到几倍甚至几十倍。”漳州市委副书记黄水木说,2022年,漳州市委、市政府启动了全市农业优新品种示范推广行动。2022年初,漳州市举办了农业优新品种推广行动研讨会和推介会,邀请中国科学院院士谢华安等13位种业领域的专家学者,经过充分研讨论证,遴选确定了100个漳州市适养适种优新品种。
针对每个优新品种,漳州各地分别指定1名专家“一对一”做好帮扶指导和提供技术咨询服务,定期组织专业技术人员、科技特派员深入各种养大户指导,做到良种良法两结合两促进。
2022年上半年,漳州市推广优新品种93个,立项示范片335个,完成全年立项计划任务197.06%,示范带动推广蔬菜、食用菌、水果、茶叶等种植面积12.4万亩,产值达到159.1亿元,新增产值11.7亿元。
眼下,漳州农业产业优势不断扩展,产业链条不断延伸,更多优质的特色农产品源源不断地从漳州大地产出。然而,对市场来说,只有形成品牌,才能基业长青。为此,漳州以“互联网+”“品牌+”的思维整合运营农产品,引导农业经营主体借助第三方电子商务平台或自建平台开设网店,拓宽农产品网络零售渠道,让农产品搭上“互联网快车”,让产品销往全国各地。
“产业区域特色的形成,以及品牌农业建设的不断加强,不仅提升了漳州农产品的美誉度,更给漳州农业带来了实实在在的经济效益。”黄水木说,截至目前,漳州市拥有中国名牌产品和名牌农产品各1个、福建名牌农产品(含加工品)156个、地理标志商标(产品)142件;共有23件涉农商标获得驰名商标保护,还有声名远播的平和琯溪蜜柚、白芽奇兰等8件地理标志商标。
乡村振兴关键在人。漳州依据《关于加强漳州市乡村人才振兴的八条措施》,加强乡村人才激励培养,推动教育人才资源向基层一线倾斜,支持人才向基层一线流动,鼓励引导各类人才投身漳州市乡村建设,加快培养造就一支懂农业、爱农村的乡村振兴人才队伍。
此外,漳州进一步选优配强市领导挂钩联系、驻村第一书记、市直单位党组织、乡村振兴工作队、科技特派员、市管干部乡村振兴指导员、乡村振兴金融指导员等“七支队伍”,壮大乡村振兴工作力量,让乡村更富更美。(本报记者 薛志伟 中国县域经济报记者 黄长秋)
中新网评:美国众议长选举“连续剧”暴露美式民主痼疾******
中新网北京1月9日电(蒋鲤)在15轮投票表决后,美国众议院议长选举这场“连续剧”终于落下帷幕,众议院共和党领袖凯文·麦卡锡最终成功当选第55任美国众议院议长。这是美国国会过去164年来耗时最久的一次议长选举记录,将美国“对抗式民主”的弊端暴露无遗。

由于两党对立加剧、党派内斗、利益分配不均等因素,众议长选举陷入一场拉锯战。在此次众议长竞选中,美国民主党议员继续抱团,多轮投票中,一票不投麦卡锡,共和党右翼“强硬派”领头的约20人小团体也拒绝投票麦卡锡。
麦卡锡的当选之路一波三折,除了本人的“政治投机派”角色在国会不受欢迎外,与共和党内部政治分歧关系密切。
一方面,共和党党内反对者认为,麦卡锡对民主党态度过于软弱,无力对抗民主党控制的参议院和拜登政府,另一方面,因为共和党的多数优势微弱,党内一些影响力较小的派系的政治力量则被放大,有利于他们巩固自己的选票。
此外,党内反对者也认为,自己的选票没有换取更多利益,希望以此作为筹码换取麦卡锡更大的让步,比如让他们获得众议院重要委员会中的职务。
作为仅次于美国总统、副总统的政坛三号人物,众议院议长通常由众议院多数党领袖担任,选举几乎没有悬念。然而,麦卡锡此次为当选,不得不做出多个关键让步,其中可能包括恢复一项罢黜议长动议机制,使得众议长的权力被削弱,难以掌控众议院。
美国有线电视新闻网CNN称,麦卡锡在这场不合时宜的政治勒索中作出让步,这种绥靖政策只会让极端主义势力更加强大。
这场引发全世界围观的尴尬选举暴露出美国政治存在严重的对立和分化。在权力博弈思维的裹挟下,党派利益凌驾于国家和人民利益之上,美国两党相互拆台,陷入“为反对而反对”的无脑对垒。而即便是一党内,也会因为利益分配问题产生不同的小派系,相互对抗,选票变成了谋利益的工具。
从国会山骚乱到打破记历史记录的15轮众议长选举,“对抗式民主”让美国政治陷入瓶颈,长期对抗势必会让政客们丧失客观公正的判断能力,其政治阶层是否有能力治理国家也会引发质疑。
两党之争和党派内斗进一步放大了美国政治体制弊病,美国所谓的“民主”形象,让全世界大跌眼镜。鼓吹以选民利益为先的美式选举,变成了政客们利益置换的游戏,进一步彰显出美国“民主政治”日渐失能,不断极化的党争已使美国政治制度陷入死循环。
House speaker election reveals deep-rooted problems in U.S. democracy
(ECNS) -- The Republican leader Kevin McCarthy was elected as the 55th speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives after 15 ballots. As the most grueling House speaker election in the past 164 years, the election has highlighted the defects of the country’s "confrontational democracy".
The election once reached a stalemate due to intense partisan strife, inner-party struggle among the Republicans, uneven distribution of interests, and more. Democratic Party members forged a close alliance, refusing to vote for McCarthy, while about 20 Republicans also declined to cast ballots for the GOP leader.
Except for his unpopular role as a "political speculator" in Congress, McCarthy’s hard-won election can be attributed to turmoil within the Republican Party.
On the one hand, opponents in the Republican Party believe that the GOP leader's attitude toward the Democrats is too weak to confront the Senate controlled by Democrats and the Biden administration.
On the other hand, the political power of some less influential factions in the Republican Party has been amplified due to the Party’s weak majority advantage in the House of Representatives, which is conducive to consolidating their ticket warehouses.
Meanwhile, these opponents believe that their votes failed to win them more benefits, hoping to use this as a bargaining chip for McCarthy's further concessions, such as getting them positions in important House Committees.
As the third political figure after the President and Vice President of the U.S., the speaker, by tradition, is the head of the majority party in the House of Representatives.
But McCarthy has made many concessions in order to bring the ultra conservatives along, involving what’s known as the “motion to vacate,” a mechanism by which members can force a vote to depose the speaker. The reported concessions will empower individual members at the expense of McCarthy’s sway as speaker.
CNN thought the concessions he made during this unseemly political shakedown would only make the extremist faction more powerful.
This embarrassing election, which has drawn global attention, exposed the serious opposition and polarization in American politics. Both Democrats and Republicans put their interests before that of the country and its people, attacking and opposing each other irrationally.
Besides, different factions arise within a single party and confront each other because of the distribution of interests. Votes have become a tool to win more benefits.
From Capitol riots to the House Speaker election with record-breaking ballots, "confrontational democracy" has become a bottleneck of American politics. Long-term confrontation will surely impede politicians to think objectively and fairly while their capacity of governing the country will also raise doubts among the public.
Both parties’ struggle and infighting among the Republicans have further amplified the defects of the American political system, with its "democratic" image shocking the world.
The U.S.-style election, which advocates putting voters' interests first, has become a game of interest exchange among politicians. In addition, it further demonstrates the malfunction of American "democratic politics" and the constantly polarized party struggle that has trapped the American political system into an infinite cycle.
