沪政协委员吁实现最大化赋能 优化留学归国人才服务政策******
中新网上海1月10日电 (记者 许婧)受疫情常态化影响,越来越多的意向留学人群倾向毕业后回国就业。上海如何进一步让留学归国人才更好发挥独特优势,提升城市核心竞争力与软实力,建成国际化人才高地?正在此间召开的2023年上海两会上,政协委员们纷纷建言献策。
作为中国开埠最早的城市以及目前最大和最发达的城市,上海一直以来都是引才聚资的前沿,对全球高端人才具有强劲吸引力。上海也一直致力于构筑人才战略优势、建设高水平人才高地,鼓励和支持留学人员来沪就业、创业。
上海市人社局相关数据显示,去年6月份留学人员落户新政出台以来,通过直接落户政策引进留学人员已超过3万人。目前,来沪工作和创业的留学人员累计达27万余人。
海外高端人才大规模流入带来了巨大效益,为上海科技进步与经济发展注入了强大动力。近年来,海外高端人才引领上海经济社会发展的效应更为明显。他们带来了先进的学术思想,促进了科研管理及理念的国际化,提升了上海的软实力。
不过,留学归国人才来沪发展仍有一些突出诉求目前没有得到解决。
上海市政协委员、致公党上海市委副主委张文明受访时说,结合全市中心工作,致公党上海市委开展专项重点课题研究,汇聚高校、政府侨务部门、留学社会组织、上海市欧美同学会等不同涉侨、涉留学归国人员部门的智慧,通过大量数据分析和再分析,对在沪留学归国人才的生存状况、人才贡献情况、人才发展面临的问题等进行了深入分析。
张文明介绍,致公党上海市委在调研中发现,目前上海留学归国人才对拓宽信息渠道仍有突出需求。回国、来沪求职、创业的过程中,海归仍或多或少受到获取信息渠道不畅、创业资源对接不顺的钳制,强关系网络和非正式关系仍在求职创业过程中发挥着重要作用。
同时,海归也表达了需进一步加大多种扶持力度的期待。“围绕海归人才就业、尤其是创业过程中最关注的人才服务、税收租金减免等问题,制定相应的解决方案,用足政策、强化支撑,也是紧迫的重要诉求之一。”
在对上海的人才政策和方略进行评估后,致公党上海市委提出了进一步优化上海留学归国人才服务政策的建议。
“留学归国人员渴望有更加优化的服务体系。‘互联网+政务服务’的提出和发展已为企业办事提供了相当的便利,但对海归人才创业过程的新问题、新诉求,政府也需不断优化公共服务体系和鼓励发展市场化服务功能,为海归创业企业和创新项目实现最大化赋能。”张文明说。
曾在日本留学10 年的张文明是在2005 年毕业之际选择回到祖国工作。他结合自身经历谈到,人才引进政策从早期的填补空白到如今涉及高端人才,其实应该向有实际工作经验的人才倾斜,加大对这类人才的引进力度;在未来的人才支持方面,应尽可能向科研成果转化方面倾斜,要注重相关研究成果的实用性评估,集中力量支持那些解决具体问题的人才发展。
此外,应重视引进人才团队建设,对海外应届博士生的引进建议尽可能在既有研究团队基础上引进,这样可以发挥海归人才的专业优势,有助于引进的高端人才在相关领域延续所学,继续作出贡献;还应大力支持关键制造业方面方面的人才,特别是应建立针对创业型人才评价的体系,并以此作为进一步支持的依据。
“我们研究发现留学归国人才正在呈从中心城区向周边城区扩散的趋势,这是对于上海市发挥各具特色城区资源具有积极的导向作用。因此,我们建议结合五大新城建设,进一步出台相关政策吸引留学归国人才积极参与五大新城建设,提升五大新城的竞争力和整体发展水平。”张文明说。(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。

由于两党对立加剧、党派内斗、利益分配不均等因素,众议长选举陷入一场拉锯战。在此次众议长竞选中,美国民主党议员继续抱团,多轮投票中,一票不投麦卡锡,共和党右翼“强硬派”领头的约20人小团体也拒绝投票麦卡锡。
麦卡锡的当选之路一波三折,除了本人的“政治投机派”角色在国会不受欢迎外,与共和党内部政治分歧关系密切。
一方面,共和党党内反对者认为,麦卡锡对民主党态度过于软弱,无力对抗民主党控制的参议院和拜登政府,另一方面,因为共和党的多数优势微弱,党内一些影响力较小的派系的政治力量则被放大,有利于他们巩固自己的选票。
此外,党内反对者也认为,自己的选票没有换取更多利益,希望以此作为筹码换取麦卡锡更大的让步,比如让他们获得众议院重要委员会中的职务。
作为仅次于美国总统、副总统的政坛三号人物,众议院议长通常由众议院多数党领袖担任,选举几乎没有悬念。然而,麦卡锡此次为当选,不得不做出多个关键让步,其中可能包括恢复一项罢黜议长动议机制,使得众议长的权力被削弱,难以掌控众议院。
美国有线电视新闻网CNN称,麦卡锡在这场不合时宜的政治勒索中作出让步,这种绥靖政策只会让极端主义势力更加强大。
这场引发全世界围观的尴尬选举暴露出美国政治存在严重的对立和分化。在权力博弈思维的裹挟下,党派利益凌驾于国家和人民利益之上,美国两党相互拆台,陷入“为反对而反对”的无脑对垒。而即便是一党内,也会因为利益分配问题产生不同的小派系,相互对抗,选票变成了谋利益的工具。
从国会山骚乱到打破记历史记录的15轮众议长选举,“对抗式民主”让美国政治陷入瓶颈,长期对抗势必会让政客们丧失客观公正的判断能力,其政治阶层是否有能力治理国家也会引发质疑。
两党之争和党派内斗进一步放大了美国政治体制弊病,美国所谓的“民主”形象,让全世界大跌眼镜。鼓吹以选民利益为先的美式选举,变成了政客们利益置换的游戏,进一步彰显出美国“民主政治”日渐失能,不断极化的党争已使美国政治制度陷入死循环。
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.
