Blocking logistics is equal to killing one thousand enemies and self-destructing eight hundred

Since the beginning of this year, the domestic epidemic situation has been spreading in many places, local outbreaks, and continuous spread in the community.
Zhejiang, Guangdong, Jilin, Shanghai and other places have been closed and controlled, and highways in many areas have been semi-closed, and inspection measures have been taken.
Keep adding code
.
As a result, many chemical companies in production are facing problems such as inability to ship products and inaccessible raw materials, and are on the verge of shutting down production and limiting production
.
Opening up logistics on the premise of ensuring safety has become a common demand of domestic economic organizations including chemical companies
.

According to some raw material transport drivers, at the beginning, only the green code was required for inspections in various places, then the green code + itinerary code was required, and then the green code + itinerary code + 48 hours nucleic acid report was required.
Recently, some areas require green code + itinerary code + 24 hours nucleic acid Report + apply for various local codes in advance
.
Even so, in some areas, cars will be quarantined for 7 to 14 days as long as they enter.
.
.

There are also various unexpected situations on the road that catch drivers off guard
.
For example, when approaching the destination, I found that the expressway exit was closed, and there was a long queue of trucks in front; I finally got off the expressway, and a checkpoint was set up on the national road in front of it, and no traffic was allowed; Code with a star, without saying a word, directly persuaded to return; after returning, I learned that there was an outbreak in the place where the goods were delivered, and it was necessary to be forced to isolate.
.
.

According to domestic media reports, since April 10, 15 of the 59 expressway toll stations in Ningbo, Zhejiang have been closed, and 14 expressway toll stations have been temporarily closed in Shaoxing, Zhejiang; 5 expressway toll stations have been closed in Huainan, Anhui, and the whole province of Shanxi has been closed.
19 expressway toll stations, 13 service areas were temporarily closed, and 15 expressway service areas were closed in Henan
.
Some highway entrances and exits have been closed due to epidemic prevention and control, including Nanjing, Lianyungang, Suqian in Jiangsu, Jiaxing, Huzhou in Zhejiang, Fuyang in Anhui, Handan in Hebei, Jinan in Shandong, Taiyuan and Changzhi in Shanxi, Shenyang in Liaoning, Fushun and many other cities, involving more than 10 provinces.

.
There are also some normally open expressway crossings with heavy restrictions, and a large number of drivers cannot get off the expressway because of the star in the itinerary code or the license plate from other places
.

What makes the driver even more exhausted is that the phenomenon of one-size-fits-all sealing and control has become more and more serious
.
Many drivers reported that the expressway in the Yangtze River Delta is now heavily jammed, sometimes for ten hours or so, and many service areas along the way are closed, making it difficult to eat, drink, and refuel
.
The route from Shandong to Jiangsu and Zhejiang used to be every two days, but now it takes three or four days, and I often encounter the original road to persuade me to return
.
Coupled with soaring oil prices, a trip down to a loss of several thousand yuan
.
Some logistics companies have reported that currently 1/3 of drivers are quarantined, 1/3 of vehicles are stuck on the road, and the capacity is less than half of the original
.

All the above phenomena happen in the developed areas of China's economy and chemical industry
.
For example, in Shanghai, China's GDP will reach 114 trillion yuan in 2021, and Shanghai's is 4.
3 trillion yuan, accounting for 3.
7% of the country's total economic output
.
At the same time, Shanghai is also a world-class sea, land and air port
.
In 2021, the container throughput of Shanghai Port will exceed 47 million TEUs, ranking first in the world for 12 consecutive years
.
Shanghai is also an important chemical industry base in China.
There are large domestic chemical companies such as Huayi Group, Sinopec Shanghai Gaoqiao Petrochemical Co.
, Ltd.
, and Shanghai Lianheng Isocyanate Co.
, Ltd.
, as well as international chemical giants such as BASF and DuPont
.
Shanghai logistics is blocked, and the national chemical production will inevitably be affected
.
At present, many chemical companies have reported that their products cannot be shipped and raw materials cannot come in, so they are forced to suspend production and limit production, and many listed companies have announced temporary suspension of production
.

According to a joint study by Princeton University and Tsinghua University on truck traffic data, if Shanghai logistics is interrupted for a month, the national GDP growth will drop by 7%.
Likely to drop by nearly 10%
.
According to Zhao Bo, an associate professor at the National School of Development of Peking University, according to the existing epidemic prevention and control efforts, even if the Omicron epidemic can be cleared in the next 2 to 3 months, China's GDP growth rate in 2022 will drop by 1.
3~ 2.
0 percentage points
.
This is obviously a huge challenge to the 5.
5% growth target proposed at the two sessions this year
.

In fact, as early as late March, the comprehensive group of the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council issued the "Urgent Notice on Coordinating the Prevention and Control of Road Freight Epidemic Prevention and Guarantee of Transportation of Key Materials", which requires classified and precise implementation of truck traffic control, and does not engage in layer-by-layer overweight.
, One size fits all
.
The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Transport and other departments and some provinces and cities have also successively introduced some policies and measures to ensure economic operation
.
However, the implementation of these policies and measures at the grass-roots level has been discounted.
There are still many areas where epidemic prevention and control are one-sided, expanded, and exercised.
Beggar-thy-neighbor, simply and rudely seal each road
.

In this regard, people in the business community have called for many times not to overcorrect in the prevention and control of the epidemic, give up food because of choking, let alone clear the walls and block the industrial operation and economic circulation
.
Logistics is related to the production and operation of enterprises and the daily life of residents.
If it is not smooth, it will cause economic chaos
.
Only by dredging the logistics on the premise of ensuring safety, allowing the raw materials and products of chemical and other industrial enterprises to flow, and making the branches of industrial chains and supply chains smooth, can our economy be alive
.
Only if the economy survives can the fight against the epidemic continue
.

Coordinating epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development, especially dredging logistics and transportation, is of great significance to ensuring the security of the national supply chain and industrial chain
.
The author suggests that all regions and departments should improve their political positions, build up the overall concept, strengthen systematic thinking, and have the courage to take responsibility
.

The first is to refine the prevention and control standards of the sealed and controlled areas, control areas, and prevention areas, avoid beggar-thy-neighbor, strengthen work liaison at all levels, and use networking means to share operational information and nucleic acid test results to improve logistics efficiency
.
The second is to establish an inter-provincial transportation coordination mechanism, mutual recognition of the "passes" issued by the place of departure, to improve the efficiency of epidemic prevention and control monitoring (card) points, to give priority to the inspection of freight drivers and passengers, and to realize the rapid passage of vehicles
.
The third is to open up green channels for epidemic prevention and emergency response, residents' lives and agricultural products, and give priority to ensuring the transportation of agricultural enterprises to ensure the supply of production materials for enterprises
.
Fourth, the hazardous chemicals enterprises that pay close attention to continuous production, whose instability and start-up and stop are often accompanied by major safety and environmental protection risks, should ensure the supply of coal and bulk chemical raw materials, and avoid large fluctuations in the operation of the equipment and production stoppages
.
The fifth is to provide necessary humanistic care for logistics drivers, such as setting up nucleic acid testing points in high-speed service areas and entrances and exits, and timely push test results to individuals
.
While doing a good job in epidemic prevention and control, enterprises provide necessary help for drivers to refuel and eat
.

The epidemic has highlighted the importance of logistics
.
It is the blood of economic operation and the blood of anti-epidemic
.
The interruption of logistics is equivalent to killing one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred
.
It is worth reassuring that on April 18, a national teleconference on ensuring smooth logistics and promoting the stability of the industrial chain and supply chain was held
.
Member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Vice Premier Liu He of the State Council attended the meeting and deployed 10 important measures
.
The meeting called for efforts to stabilize the industrial chain and supply chain, and to establish a whitelist of key industries and foreign trade companies such as automobiles, integrated circuits, consumer electronics, equipment manufacturing, agricultural materials, food, and medicine
.
Subsequently, the Ministry of Transport quickly conveyed the spirit of the meeting, requiring all efforts to ensure the smooth flow of transportation channels, resolutely banning epidemic prevention checkpoints set up on highway main lines or service areas, to prevent the shutdown problem from rebounding; urging localities to increase highway exits, service areas and other important nodes Nucleic acid detection points are set up in a timely manner, with sufficient detection force, to promote antigen detection in an orderly manner, and improve detection efficiency; strengthen road network operation monitoring, and solve road network blockage problems in a timely manner; optimize truck traffic management and control policies, and implement pick-up-and-go for truck drivers.
That is to pursue closed-loop management, nucleic acid test results are mutually recognized across the country, and no further coding is allowed; accelerate the promotion of the use of unified and mutually recognized passports, promote online processing, and immediate processing to ensure sufficient distribution and achieve national mutual recognition; strengthen Focus on service guarantees, coordinate and solve the problem of truck traffic in a timely manner, implement the normalized service requirements for stranded drivers, and ensure the basic life of stranded drivers
.

The author hopes to add one more point: If you find that there is a one-size-fits-all approach, layer-by-layer overweights block logistics, ask the local leader
.
Only in this way can these latest measures be implemented as soon as possible
