    Taking the survey data of 1385 families in the most impoverished contiguous areas in southern Xinjiang as an example, the paper studies the impact of rural vocational skills training on the risk of returning to poverty by using PSM method. The findings show that, currently, the frequency of vocational skills training participation among farmers is relatively low, and their risk of returning to poverty is also at a lower level. While implementing rural vocational skills training can effectively reduce farmers' risk of falling back into poverty, it demonstrates diminishing marginal effects. Additionally, the poverty prevention process exhibits an anti-opportunity pursuit phenomenon. Furthermore, the preventive effect of rural vocational skills training on farmers' poverty recurrence risk shows significant multidimensional heterogeneity across different dimensions. At this stage, it is recommended to prioritize the cultivation of rural non-agricultural planting industries. Guided by the technical talent demands of these industries, more targeted vocational skills training should be implemented. This approach will not only effectively reduce farmers' risk of falling back into poverty but also vigorously promote rural revitalization. It facilitates the effective integration of consolidating and expanding poverty alleviation achievements with rural development strategies, ultimately establishing an endogenous mechanism for sustainable poverty eradication.

    The paper employs the rural industrial integration development pilot policy as a quasi-natural experiment, based on unbalanced panel data from 1291 counties in China from 1999 to 2022, and uses the Difference-in-Differences (DiD) method to study how rural industrial integration development affects the urban-rural income gap. Research has found that the integrated development of rural industries can significantly narrow the income gap between urban and rural areas in counties, and the optimization of industrial structure, new urbanization, and the synergistic effect of the two are the main mechanisms involved. The effect of narrowing the urban-rural income gap through the integration of rural industries is more pronounced in western regions and areas with larger urban-rural income gaps. The integrated development of rural industries has brought about an increase in the income levels of both urban and rural residents, and the growth rate of rural residents' income is greater than that of urban residents, which is in line with China's development goal of common prosperity. Based on this, in the future, the pilot scope of rural industrial integration should be further expanded, the policy support system should be improved, the coordinated development of urban and rural areas should be coordinated, the optimization of industrial structure should be promoted, and the linkage between rural industrial structure optimization and new urbanization should be promoted.

    Taking the Opportunity of Building the BRICS Payment System to Steadily Advance the Internationalization of the Renminbi
    ZHAO Zhijun, XUE Bingqing

    Since the World War II, the United States, backed by its strong economic, financial, technological, and military capabilities, has led the establishment of an international monetary system centered around the US dollar - the Bretton Woods system, making important contributions to post-war economic recovery and development. However, this system and its successor (the Jamaican system) were designed from the fundamental interests of Western countries such as the United States, which is unfair to the vast number of developing countries. In addition, the existing international monetary system has always faced inherent contradictions that are difficult to overcome, such as the Triffin problem and the Mundell impossible triangle. When the interests of the United States conflict with those of the international community, the United States will use the power granted by the existing monetary system to create a "dollar tide" and harvest the wealth of other countries. The United States often uses its control over the International System for the Settlement of Funds (SWIFT) to freeze or even deprive other countries of their overseas assets. Based on the inherent unfairness and insurmountable contradictions of this monetary system, this paper analyzes the historical inevitability of reforming the existing international monetary system and proposes strategies for orderly promoting the internationalization of the renminbi.

    With the rapid advancement of the digital economy, the digital RMB emerges as a significant achievement in China's financial technology innovation. It plays a critical role in enhancing the efficiency of the payment system while bolstering financial security and privacy protection. This paper employs the grounded theory to investigate the interaction mechanisms among stakeholders within the digital RMB ecosystem. The study integrates analyses of digital RMB pilot projects, policy documents, and research data to develop a model that elucidates the interaction mechanisms of stakeholders in this ecosystem and identifies viable interaction pathways. The findings indicate that policy support, technological innovation, market adaptability, the adaptability of financial institutions, and industry benefits are fundamental components of stakeholder interaction concerning the digital RMB. Notably, technological innovation serves as the primary driving force facilitating positive interactions among stakeholders. Based on this, the paper proposes strategic recommendations to foster the positive interaction within the digital renminbi ecosystem, focusing on three key directions: service optimization, technological innovation, and ecosystem co-construction.

    In the new development stage, efforts should be made to build a high-standard market system and consolidate the institutional foundation for the effective operation of the socialist market economy. In this process, reducing the tax burden disparity among enterprises and optimizing the market competition environment are the urgent issues that need to be addressed in China at present. Based on the typical facts of the tax burden disparity among enterprises in China, this paper re-examines the issue of the fairness of the tax burden among enterprises. The research finds that the significant differences in regional tax preferential policies, the varying levels and intensities of tax collection and administration, and the relationship between the government and the market are all reasons for the tax burden disparity among enterprises in China, the tax burden disparity among enterprises is the result of the trade-off between fairness and efficiency. In the future, the tax system structure should be further optimized, the efficiency and consistency of tax policy adjustments should be maintained, the management of enterprise taxes and fees should be standardized, the unification and legalization of tax preferential policies should be achieved, and the tax collection and administration service level of tax authorities should be continuously improved to enhance the coordination of tax collection and administration among regions.

    Value Added Tax Retention and Refund, Financing Constraints, and Enterprise Labor Income Share—An Empirical Study Based on A-Share Listed Companies in China
    WANG Qing, OUYANG Xi
    2025, (1):  58-69.  doi: 10.16716/j.cnki.65-1030/f.2025.01.006

    Taxation is a key factor influencing the development of enterprises, especially value-added tax (VAT), which is the largest tax category in China, and it is closely related to the production and operation activities of enterprises. Based on panel data of A-share listed companies from 2015 to 2022, this study empirically tests the impact and mechanism of value-added tax retention and refund policies on the share of labor income of enterprises using the Difference-in-Differences (DiD) model. The results showed that the value-added tax deduction and refund increased the share of labor income in enterprises, and this positive effect was more significant in the samples of labor income share in the eastern region, non-state-owned enterprises, and ordinary employees. The mechanism test also found that the value-added tax deduction and refund can increase the share of labor income of enterprises by alleviating internal and external financing constraints. In future, it is of great necessity to take such measures as further refining the value-added tax retention and refund policy and enhancing its targeting precision to increase the share of enterprise labor income.

    This paper selects the trade volume of lithium-ion batteries of the countries jointly building the "the Belt and Road" from 2012 to 2022, uses the social network analysis method to build the lithium-ion battery trade network of the countries jointly building the "the Belt and Road" and analyzes the driving factors of its structural dynamic evolution. The research finds that the spatial relevance, stability and connectivity of the lithium ion battery trade network of the countries jointly building the "the Belt and Road" have gradually increased, and it shows an obvious "small world" feature. The lithium ion battery trade network associations of the countries jointly building the "the Belt and Road" have gradually gathered together, and China, Singapore, the Czech Republic and Poland are at the core of the trade network; GDP, oil exports, the proportion of R&D expenditure in GDP, geographical distance, neighboring countries and the goals of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality are the main driving factors for the dynamic evolution of the lithium-ion battery trade network structure of the countries jointly building the "the Belt and Road". Based on this, in the future, China should further enhance its innovation capability, accelerate the building of the "the Belt and Road" connectivity such as e-commerce service platforms and cross-border logistics channels, and promote the green development of the "the Belt and Road".
