Ding Junfa
The theory of socialist market circulation theory founded by Comrade Deng Xiaoping is a new development of the Marxism doctrine, laying the foundation for the reform of China’s circulation system and the development of circulation industry. Since the reform and opening up to the outside world in 1978, China’s circulation system and circulation industry have undergone three stages of the beginning, the rapid development and the transformation and upgrading, and tremendous changes. In the new journey, we should apply the development ideas of “innovation, coordination, green, open, sharing” to the development of China circulation industry, aiming to basically establish a unified and open, competitive and orderly, safe and efficient, the integration of urban and rural circulation system by 2020, set up a unified, coordinated and efficient circulation management system with clear-defined responsibilities. We should follow the basic rules of circulation economy, promote new circulation reform, accelerate the construction of large circulation and large market, enabling the circulation industry to truly become a basic and leading industry of the national economy.
(2)Several issues of the third party evaluation on the effectiveness of national precise poverty alleviation
Liu Xuemin and Li Qiang
The introduction of third party evaluation is an important systematic innovation for the national precise poverty alleviation achievements appraisal. The core content of the third party evaluation is “two rates” and “one degree”: the identification precise rate for the poor, population exit precise rate for the poor and the people’s satisfaction for the help work for the village and households. The trial evaluation in 2016 and formal assessment in 2017 revealed some problems in the work of the precise poverty-reduction, “ getting rid of poverty after doing accounts” and “ being forced to get rid of poverty” phenomenon in the “health poverty-reduction” of “three security”, some help work in the villages not being carried out, great differences of effectiveness for different support units, the attitudes of “taking the test” towards the third party evaluation, serious external interference into the evaluation . In order to ensure the evaluation the third party being independent, objective and impartial, we need to deal with the relationship between different subjects in the evaluation, pay attention to details’ judgment and selection, understand the difficulty of grass-roots cadre work in poverty alleviation, and find out the problem while exploring the highlights for precise poverty alleviation.
(3)Changes of world economic structure and opening up of service industry
Xia Jiechang and Chen Jun
After comparing the proportion of service trade over GDP, with the world bank service trade restriction index and OECD service trade restriction index, this paper finds that there exists a similar path to the S type spiral in the relationship between service open and per capita GNI. From the level of opening up, China is now the closest to the United States and Japan, especially Japan since the 2008 international financial crisis, but there are differences in specific industries. In terms of the evolution of the internal structure of services, Japan is closer to Britain rather than the United states. But Japan’s financial services sector is clearly lagging behind those of Britain and the United States, perhaps one of the reasons why Britain and the United States face a greater challenge in this round of globalization than Japan. Over the next few years, Britain and the United States will face pressure from the rising costs of medical and educational services, and the structure of service sector will need significant adjustments.

Li Tinghui
In the context of the global economy entering deep adjustment and the declining demand of international service, the scale of China’s international service outsourcing business continued to grow in 2015-2016.

Song Xi
In 2015-2016, with the gradual improvement of promoting the system construction of the new urbanization, the quality and efficiency of China’s urbanization construction have gradually improved, urban and rural areas have significantly improved and the leading role of the city group for the new urbanization is growing. But we should also see many issues that have not been fundamentally solved including the non-integration of cities and towns in China, “people” and“land” contradictions, land acquisition, demolition and reconstruction of the village, the level of public services lagging behind the process of urbanization, urban and rural governance and other issues which are the problems of imminent. In 2017, with the gradual release of the effectiveness of policies and planning, China’s new urbanization development quality and efficiency continue to improve, but also it needs to strengthen the system design, develop city agglomeration economy, construct intensive city, and promote the system construction of urban and rural governance.
