After his speech on appointment, Professor ZhengBingwen gave an academic lecture entitled "transformation of social security levy system and top-leveldesign".Starting from his personal experience of the reform of the social insurance levy system in recent years, he analyzed that the root of the "difficulty in levying social insurance premiums" in China lies in institutionalfactors. Later, he introduced the theory of "competition neutrality",pointed out that the current social insurance system is still in the premise of "transactional"system,pointedout that there are many problems in the collection system of social security expenses, such as "non neutral taxation", "non neutral supervision" and soon. Itleadedthe present situationofstate-owned enterprises to have "advantages of resource supervision + disadvantages of social security supervision", while private enterprises to have "disadvantages of resource supervision + advantages of social securitysupervision".This kind of social security not only hinders the smooth transition from "levy" to"taxation", but also severely restricts the development of private enterprises and China'seconomy.Finally, ProfessorZhengsuggested that starting from the principle of "competitionneutrality",we should not only reduce the burden of social insurance premium, but also break the dual system structure of social insurance premium collection and payment, seize the strategic opportunity and improve the top-level design of social insurance premium collection and paymentmechanism.
