福建龙岩推进“老区+湾区”深度合作******
中新网龙岩1月4日电 (记者 张金川)“老区不老，风华正茂。”福建省龙岩市市长胡盛4日表示，全力以赴把老区建设得更好，让老区人民过上更好生活。
当天上午，龙岩市六届人大二次会议开幕，胡盛向大会作政府工作报告。他指出，过去一年，是龙岩发展进程中极不寻常的一年，国家出台《闽西革命老区高质量发展示范区建设方案》，为龙岩推动老区苏区振兴发展指明新的方向、注入强大动力。
地处于福建西部的龙岩，通称闽西，是享誉海内外的“客家祖地”。当前，全面启动与广州对口合作，7个县(市、区)与广州11个市辖区建立结对合作关系，对接融入粤港澳大湾区取得历史性突破。
官方数据显示，截至目前，龙岩已通过《龙岩市建设闽西革命老区高质量发展示范区行动方案》，明确示范区建设六个方面23项重点任务。争取国家基础设施投资基金12亿元，专项债资金104.8亿元，预算内资金11.4亿元。

胡盛所说的“抢抓三大机遇，发挥四个优势，重点打好五张牌”，是于2022年12月龙岩市委六届五次全会提出的。三大机遇：中央支持革命老区振兴发展、中央支持闽西革命老区高质量发展示范区、融入粤港澳大湾区带来的机遇；四个优势：红色优势、绿色优势、古色优势、特色优势；五张牌：革命老区牌、绿色生态牌、特色产业牌、对外开放牌、大爱龙岩牌。
胡盛还表示，要加快龙岩与粤港澳大湾区产业合作试验区建设，构建“1+8”产业协同发展平台，推行“飞地经济”等合作新模式，主动承接大湾区创新资源、优势产业辐射，努力打造国家级承接产业转移示范区。深化与厦门山海协作，谋划推进厦门龙岩中心等标志性区域合作项目。
如何加快闽西革命老区高质量发展成为今年该市“两会”期间的热点话题，该市人大代表、政协委员纷纷建言献策。
澳门闽西同乡总会会长张森华认为，当前，粤港澳大湾区正在加快制度创新和先行先试，围绕打造具有全球影响力的国际科技创新中心、“一带一路”建设的重要支撑、内地与港澳深度合作示范区战略定位全力冲刺，致力引领国家新一轮开放创新。
“需加快打造由城投、园区、基金等构成的多元协同招商体系，把‘平日功夫’‘项目对接’做深做实。”张森华建言，龙岩可在深圳、广州、东莞、中山、横琴粤澳深度合作区创建跨区域对接平台(科创飞地)，促进跨区域资源嫁接合作。
张森华称，应加强与粤港澳等地创新园区、产业园区的战略合作，利用粤港澳地区创新优势、资金优势、管理优势，引入一批国际国内园区运营机构和品牌；推动政府基金与粤港澳地区政府和市场基金的开放合作，打造“基金+基地”“股东+房东”多元支撑体系。
“国有资本是推动经济高质量发展的重要力量，其中产业股权投资基金对推动实体经济发展扮演不可替代的角色。”致公党龙岩市委会专职副主委柯添英建言，应深入对接广州国有资本，助力龙岩产业发展。(完)
中新网评：美国众议长选举“连续剧”暴露美式民主痼疾****** 中新网北京1月9日电(蒋鲤)在15轮投票表决后，美国众议院议长选举这场“连续剧”终于落下帷幕，众议院共和党领袖凯文·麦卡锡最终成功当选第55任美国众议院议长。这是美国国会过去164年来耗时最久的一次议长选举记录，将美国“对抗式民主”的弊端暴露无遗。

House speaker election reveals deep-rooted problems in U.S. democracy (ECNS) -- The Republican leader Kevin McCarthy was elected as the 55th speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives after 15 ballots. As the most grueling House speaker election in the past 164 years, the election has highlighted the defects of the country’s "confrontational democracy". The election once reached a stalemate due to intense partisan strife, inner-party struggle among the Republicans, uneven distribution of interests, and more. Democratic Party members forged a close alliance, refusing to vote for McCarthy, while about 20 Republicans also declined to cast ballots for the GOP leader. Except for his unpopular role as a "political speculator" in Congress, McCarthy’s hard-won election can be attributed to turmoil within the Republican Party. On the one hand, opponents in the Republican Party believe that the GOP leader's attitude toward the Democrats is too weak to confront the Senate controlled by Democrats and the Biden administration. On the other hand, the political power of some less influential factions in the Republican Party has been amplified due to the Party’s weak majority advantage in the House of Representatives, which is conducive to consolidating their ticket warehouses. Meanwhile, these opponents believe that their votes failed to win them more benefits, hoping to use this as a bargaining chip for McCarthy's further concessions, such as getting them positions in important House Committees. As the third political figure after the President and Vice President of the U.S., the speaker, by tradition, is the head of the majority party in the House of Representatives. But McCarthy has made many concessions in order to bring the ultra conservatives along, involving what’s known as the “motion to vacate,” a mechanism by which members can force a vote to depose the speaker. The reported concessions will empower individual members at the expense of McCarthy’s sway as speaker. CNN thought the concessions he made during this unseemly political shakedown would only make the extremist faction more powerful. This embarrassing election, which has drawn global attention, exposed the serious opposition and polarization in American politics. Both Democrats and Republicans put their interests before that of the country and its people, attacking and opposing each other irrationally. Besides, different factions arise within a single party and confront each other because of the distribution of interests. Votes have become a tool to win more benefits. From Capitol riots to the House Speaker election with record-breaking ballots, "confrontational democracy" has become a bottleneck of American politics. Long-term confrontation will surely impede politicians to think objectively and fairly while their capacity of governing the country will also raise doubts among the public. Both parties’ struggle and infighting among the Republicans have further amplified the defects of the American political system, with its "democratic" image shocking the world. The U.S.-style election, which advocates putting voters' interests first, has become a game of interest exchange among politicians. In addition, it further demonstrates the malfunction of American "democratic politics" and the constantly polarized party struggle that has trapped the American political system into an infinite cycle.
