Ye Xueping: Strengthen innovation-driven, accelerate the construction of Hubei modern industrial system
Modern industrial system is a dynamic concept, it is the real economy, scientific and technological innovation, modern finance, human resources coordinated development of the industrial system, Ye compared the traditional industrial system and modern industrial system. From the basic connotation, it shows that the construction of modern industrial system is the inevitable requirement to promote the high-quality development of economy, the urgent need to win the competition initiative of great powers, and the important measure to build a modern socialist country in an all-round way. Ye then compared the industrial system planning of Hubei Province and the whole country before and after the 12th Five-Year Plan, the 13th Five-Year Plan and the 14th Five-Year Plan, and sorted out the specific changes of the industrial system. On this basis, he put forward the policy suggestions of adhering to innovation-driven development and accelerating the construction of the state-owned system modern industrial system. To be specific, Ye put forward three suggestions. We will fully implement the strategy of innovation-driven development, keep the lifeblood of science and technology firmly in our own hands, and accelerate the realization of self-reliance and self-improvement in science and technology through investment and human resources. Secondly, it is hoped to build the national new development pattern pilot zone, accelerate the formation of a number of backbone industries and industrial clusters with national radiation and international competitiveness; Finally, it is proposed to promote the construction of "three highlands and two bases", to build the national highland of science and technology innovation, the national highland of manufacturing power and the national highland of digital economy development, to build the national base of modern agriculture and the national base of modern service industry, and to accelerate the construction of Hubei modern industrial system.
Wei Long: Multi-layer thinking of industrial chain and supply chain security
Starting from the special background of China's industrial chain supply chain, Wei pointed out that currently the conflict between China and the US in the field of advanced manufacturing is becoming increasingly fierce, and the global industrial competition pattern is undergoing major adjustment. In this environment, Wei Long believes that we should attach importance to the security and reliability of our industrial chain and supply chain, and analyzes and demonstrates from four perspectives of necessity, importance, feasibility and controllability. He believes that the points we can start from should include system security, market security, technology security and enterprise security, among which enterprise security refers to the reliable production and operation of some key central enterprises and state-owned enterprises. Wei elaborated on the safeguard measures of industrial chain and supply chain security, holding that the three approaches that can be taken include adhering to global multilateralism, strengthening regional and bilateral cooperation and accelerating the construction of a unified national big market.

Shen Kailing: The relationship between industrial development and employment:from the perspective of gender, education and migration
From the perspective of labor economics, Shen studied the preference of each industry in employment by quantitative method, and provided some ideas for the development of industrial economy from a micro perspective. First of all, Shen described the relationship between age and population mobility in employment. When applied into practice, enterprises' understanding of the age structure of the vocational skill set recruited in advance will help them recruit more needed employees better, and better old-age care facilities provided by the government will generate more mobile labor force. Secondly, Shen elaborated the relationship between employment and gender, and put forward the view that there exists gender and age distortion in the workplace. She believed that enterprises should encourage women's competitive applications and provide more explicit information to achieve better gender balance. In the end, Shen connected industries with skills and believed that many industries have overlapping skill requirements. Understanding the connection between industries in the utilization of skills will expand the potential labor resource pool and help predict the shortage of workers caused by spillover from other industries.
Song Deyong: Innovative Industrial clusters and urban entrepreneurial vitality -- on the moderating role of digital economy
Song Deyong used the registration data of industrial and commercial enterprises to sort out the number of new enterprises at the city level from 2007 to 2019. Through empirical analysis, he found that innovative industrial clusters can significantly improve the entrepreneurial vitality of the city, and the conclusion is robust. And innovative industry cluster mainly through talent channels, technology channels, capital channels and cost channels to affect the city's entrepreneurial vitality. In addition, Song believes that the digital economy can enhance the entrepreneurial effect of innovation industry clusters, and it plays a role mainly through technology channels and cost channels. Finally, after the heterogeneity and further analysis, Song pointed out that the entrepreneurial effect of innovation industry clusters can be promoted by increasing the investment in science and technology, improving the business environment and attracting the influx of population. Based on the above conclusions, Song believes that while developing innovative industry clusters, we should strengthen the design and arrangement of entrepreneurship system, so as to effectively promote the full play of its entrepreneurial effect. The transmission channels of urban talent gathering, technology and capital should be thoroughly dredged. We should promote the development of the digital economy and consolidate the advantages that information technology brings to mass entrepreneurship. For cities with scarce economic resources, financial support should be provided, and these cities should also optimize their business environment, stabilize the expectations of market players, and improve policies to guarantee the introduction of talent, strengthen the stickiness of urban talents, and avoid the loss of existing talents.

Yu analyzed that although China is a net importer, it still has a great influence on the dairy trade network. Belong to the "authority" role. In addition, Yu found that the global dairy trade network model is very robust, which is a unified and stable trade network with Europe as the center. Finally, Yu pointed out that from the perspective of dairy products, in today's world and in the future, many things are changing, including energy, food prices, the development of cold chain logistics, animal protection, climate change and the economic growth of China and India. In the future, the global demand for dairy products will be even greater. The resulting changes in global industrial structure and feed industry supply will bring more problems to be studied.
