China News Service, Beijing, March 4th, title: "Two sessions" open, China's economy has a "bottom"

  The NPC and CPPCC National Conferences were an important node for summarizing economic work, and it was also the "weathervane" of China's economic policy that year.

  The "two sessions" in 2021 has already started.

Standing at this moment, whether looking back at the past or looking forward to the future, it can be said that China’s economy has a “bottom”.

  One is the background color of "stable".

  In the past year, facing the major test brought by the new crown pneumonia epidemic, China has achieved remarkable results in taking the lead in controlling the epidemic, resuming work and production, and taking the lead in realizing positive economic growth.

  The total economic volume has reached a new level of one million yuan, accounting for about 17% of the world economy; the per capita GDP has exceeded US$10,000 for two consecutive years, and the development gap with high-income countries has continued to narrow... these bright eyes The indicators reflect that China is gradually overcoming the adverse effects of the epidemic, its economic strength has increased significantly, and its overall national strength has continued to increase, laying a solid foundation for the construction of a new development pattern.

  For many years, China has always adopted "seek progress while maintaining stability" as the general keynote of its economic work.

When the background of "stableness" becomes thicker, the brushstrokes of China's new picture scrolls of high-quality development will also be more vivid and freehand in the future.

  The second is the bottom line of people's livelihood.

  The government work report in 2020 left a "real" deep impression on people, not only because this report broke the record for the shortest length since the reform and opening up, but also because it revealed strong and profound concerns about people's livelihood.

  Chinese officials recently revealed that the 17 quantitative indicators proposed in the government work report last year have all been completed by the end of 2020.

Including new employment, urban survey unemployment rate, consumer prices, old community reconstruction and other indicators closely related to people's livelihood and well-being, and many tasks have been overfulfilled.

  But at the same time, some new issues of people's livelihood are constantly emerging.

Topics such as the low willingness of young people to give birth and the "difficulty in contacting the Internet" of the elderly have become the focus of attention of many delegates and committee members.

How to turn the "people's livelihood checklist" issued at the National People's Congress and the People's Congress into a "happiness bill" to further strengthen the people's livelihood will continue to test China's governance capabilities and wisdom.

  The third is the confidence to "in".

  Under the premise of effective control of the epidemic, since the National People’s Congress and the National People’s Congress last year, a package of macro policies such as the issuance of special treasury bonds and the increase of the deficit rate has been precisely implemented, which has better supported the growth of China’s real economy and effectively filled the global epidemic prevention supplies and other necessities under the impact of the epidemic. The gap in the supply of industrial products and other industrial products has made important contributions to the economic recovery at home and abroad.

  From the international financial crisis to the new crown pneumonia epidemic, China has always insisted on improving the quality and efficiency of economic growth as the center, innovating macro-control thinking and methods in practice, continuously accumulating new experience and overcoming new challenges.

  Standing at the starting point of the "14th Five-Year Plan", China needs to strengthen the momentum of stable economic recovery on the basis of a solid foundation for stable development, so as to make a good start and start a new development pattern.

It is foreseeable that after the National Two Sessions this time, China's policy toolbox will be reopened, and when more new and practical measures are "flowered", the confidence to "advance" in economic development will be more substantial.
