二 | ”实行财政科研项目经费“包干制”，是遵循科研规律，破除创新堵点、释放创新活力的重要举措。我省“十五五”规划纲要提出，探索经费使用松绑政策，扩大财政科研项目经费“包干制”范围，建立健全稳定性支持和竞争性支持相结合的财政科技投入机制。 Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo said this weekend that U.S. business leaders are "very worried" about a partial federal government shutdown if Congress cannot pass a short-term funding measure ahead of an Oct. 1 deadline."They are, I think, in some cases, frustrated that this is how government operates," Raimondo said in an interview that aired Sunday on "Face the Nation." The White House has asked Congress to pass a short-term spending bill to avoid a partial shutdown on Oct. 1. Raimondo said she hopes there will be a "speedy resolution" to the situation. "It's a challenge for the economy and (has) the potential to set us back," she continued.
Earlier this summer, Republican Rep. Garret Graves of Louisiana told "Face the Nation" that he couldn't rule out a potential government shutdown after struggles to make a deal to raise the nation's debt ceiling stretched on, bringing the country dangerously close to a default.
Fitch Ratings cited the standoff as one of the reasons why the ratings agency recently downgraded U.S. credit from its highest rating. The agency said that the government's "repeated debt-limit political standoffs and last-minute resolutions have eroded confidence in fiscal management."The August jobs report, released Friday morning, showed 187,000 jobs added last month to the workforce. However, it also showed that underemployment – the number of people working more than one job, or jobs they are overqualified for – has gone up."The reality is that inflation still exists," Raimondo said. "I don't want to minimize what Americans are feeling, and that's why we get up and go to work every day, but this economy by any measure is doing incredibly well, and much better than anyone could have predicted, I think, three years ago when we started."
On China
Raimondo also spoke on her recent visit to China, saying that "a great deal of progress" was made. Raimondo is the first U.S. commerce secretary in five years to be on the ground in China.
"In terms of concrete deliverables, I was able to open three specific lines of communication with the Chinese," Raimondo said. These included sharing information about export controls, opening a dialogue on commercial issues, and discussing how trade secrets are handled.American business leaders have expressed concern about the handling of trade secrets, Raimondo said. Another is the lack of transparency in Chinese business regulations. American companies in China have had their offices raided and employees detained, without Chinese authorities presenting hard evidence of wrongdoing. "When I expressed these concerns, I was heard," Raimondo said, before emphasizing that she "wasn't given any promises" by Chinese leaders. When asked if she trusted the Chinese government after her visit, Raimondo said that "trust is probably not the word" she would use. "Actions speak louder than words," Raimondo said. "So time will tell whether they are going to really be as they say they want to be, you know, more market oriented and open and reform minded when it comes to their economy, their regulatory regime."Raimondo was the fourth high-level official from the Biden administration to visit Beijing this summer, following Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, and the Presidential Envoy for Climate, John Kerry. "But one thing that I think we can take a bit of heart in is it's in China's interest," Raimondo continued. "It's in their economic interest to have foreign direct investment and to make sure, you know, they had a very good economy when they were market oriented and reform minded. And so we have to hope that self interest will affect their future decisions."
