Although the current employment situation is severe, we must also see that China's economy does have strong resilience, potential, and room for manoeuvre. The state will subsidize the recruitment of graduates from small, medium, and micro enterprises. It is clear that state-owned enterprises will expand recruitment and graduation for two consecutive years. The scale of students has expanded the scale of grassroots employment, including some posts in some communities, etc., including expanding the scale of enrollment, increasing the size of employment trainees, and appropriately delaying acceptance of employment to actively create jobs.

First, we must grasp the implementation of policies. Second, in the next step, we must make the best use of the traction of the market. We must further deepen the supply-side structural reform. We must further promote the integration and development of large and small enterprises. In the next step, we will focus on promoting the "Internet platform + entrepreneurial unit", which will support us in the future. Whether it is college students' employment and returning hometown, they will bring more opportunities. Fourth, we need to further promote the construction of a "double innovation" demonstration base. We also need to study the establishment of a docking mechanism for national emerging industry venture capital guidance funds and base-related projects, as well as a new model of bank credit and guidance fund investment-loan linkage.

[Explanation] Wu Hao also said that in the fight against the epidemic, big data, telemedicine, e-commerce, mobile payment, etc. have played a huge role in epidemic prevention and control and resumed production, and also made people more aware of information Great benefits brought by deep integration of technology and digital transformation. Wu Hao said that the digital transformation of the world economy is a big proposition and a big trend. The National Development and Reform Commission has studied and formulated a series of policies such as "Internet +" and the development of the digital economy to help small, medium and micro enterprises accelerate their digital transformation.

[Contemporary] Wu Hao, Director, High Technology Department, National Development and Reform Commission

The first is to lower the threshold by building a platform to solve the problem of "no turning". The second is to provide excellent services and strong support to solve the problem of "cannot be transferred."

The focus is to explore the implementation of inclusive cloud service support policies. It is necessary to focus on the deeper integration of big data, especially the deep integration of artificial intelligence and the real economy. The third is to gather strengths to build an ecology and solve the problem of "Dare to Turn". The focus is to implement a new form of cultivation of the digital economy. We need to explore the creation of "virtual industrial parks" and "virtual industrial clusters" that cross physical boundaries, support the construction of digital supply chains, and accelerate the digital transformation of upstream and downstream enterprises.
