　　The special two sessions in a special year carry people's special expectations. On May 22, China issued an "unusual" government work report at the opening meeting of the Third Session of the 13th National People's Congress. The report is only about 10,000 words long, the shortest since reform and opening up.

　　Highlighting the essence of the content with a fine compilation, the report is bringing together the "power to break through the customs" for China's development in a special year. As stated by China ’s Premier Li Keqiang in the report, as long as we face the challenges, strengthen development confidence, enhance development momentum, and maintain and make good use of China ’s important strategic opportunities for development, the current difficulties will surely be overcome and China ’s development will be full of hope.

　　——China takes the issue as the guide and gathers “the power to break through the customs”.

　　Since the beginning of this year, China has used its national strength to start an epidemic prevention and control battle, and to effectively control the epidemic in a relatively short period of time. It has also paid a huge price, including negative economic growth in the first quarter. But as the report pointed out, this is a price that must be sustained and worth paying.

　　As with the problem-oriented response to the epidemic, the report anchors development expectations with the same strategic thinking. For example, appropriate adjustments were made to the expected targets considered before the epidemic. Among them, widespread concern was that no specific target for the annual economic growth rate was proposed, and it was intended to guide all parties to concentrate on the “six stability” and “six guarantees”. This pragmatic arrangement takes into account the outstanding issues of this year: the global epidemic situation and the economic and trade situation are highly uncertain, and development faces some unpredictable influencing factors. Without setting specific goals, it is a very special way to deal with extraordinary trends, and a more pragmatic and flexible way to deal with uncertainty.

　　Being problem-oriented, the report refocuses on tackling poverty. The report mentions "increasing the strength of remaining poverty-stricken counties and villages", focusing on the practical pressure of remaining difficult poverty alleviation tasks; deploying "consumer poverty alleviation actions" aimed at accelerating the impact of the epidemic; "It is intended to put an end to digital poverty alleviation and false poverty alleviation, and to provide data support for the fight against poverty.

　　Focusing on risks and difficulties, the report, while indicating the way forward for a special year, also helped stabilize domestic and international expectations of China's development trend.

　　——China gathers "the power to break through the customs" in the direction of people's livelihood.

　　From the macro policy announcements for 1.4 billion Chinese people to the details of the administration concerning the rights and interests of every Chinese, the report focuses on enhancing the public's sense of gain.

　　At the macro level, many development goals are related to "big people's livelihood": more than 9 million new jobs are created in cities and towns, the unemployment rate in urban surveys is about 6%, the registered unemployment rate in cities and towns is about 5.5%, and consumer prices have risen by about 3.5%. Economic growth is basically synchronized.

　　From a meso and micro perspective, a large number of governance measures also highlight people's livelihood. In response to the epidemic, the report requires increased investment in research and development of vaccines, drugs and rapid testing technologies, and increased medical facilities for epidemic prevention and treatment; around the employment, the report proposes to clean up and remove unreasonable restrictions on employment, promote employment measures should be exhausted, and expand the post method To be exhausted; for medical treatment, the report proposes an increase of 30 yuan per capita financial subsidy for residents ’medical insurance; around pensions, the report requires nearly 300 million people across the country to receive pensions and must ensure that they are paid in full and on time ...

　　From macro to meso to micro, the report clearly defined the starting point for ensuring and improving people's livelihood while securing the bottom line of basic people's livelihood.

　　——China takes the direction of innovation to gather “the power of breaking through the customs”.

　　In the process of overcoming difficulties, the report followed the idea of ​​promoting innovation through innovation, and outlined a series of "innovation points" for China's development.

　　In terms of monetary policy, the report requires innovative monetary policy tools that directly reach the real economy. It is important to promote enterprises to facilitate access to loans and continue to lower interest rates;

　　In terms of expanding effective investment, the report deploys and strengthens new infrastructure construction, develops a new generation of information networks, and expands 5G applications;

　　In terms of foreign trade, the report calls for the promotion of a new round of pilot development of service trade innovation and the development of new formats such as cross-border e-commerce.

　　Although innovation and innovation are scattered throughout the report and belong to different fields, the common thing is that through the promotion of innovation, the institutional barriers are eliminated to stimulate China's endogenous development momentum.

　　——China takes cooperation as the orientation to gather "the power to break through the customs".

　　Faced with global challenges such as the public health crisis and severe economic recession, the report further strengthens China's outward-looking thinking of open cooperation.

　　Focusing on promoting a higher level of opening up to the outside world, the measures announced in the report include but are not limited to: promoting the basic stability of foreign trade and developing a higher level of the world's large market; high-quality joint construction of the "Belt and Road" to guide the healthy development of foreign investment; promoting trade and Investment liberalization and facilitation, etc.

　　Against the backdrop of major changes and adjustments in the international relations landscape, as well as outstanding risks and challenges, the report emphasizes that China will strengthen anti-epidemic cooperation with other countries, promote world economic stability, promote global governance, maintain the international system with the United Nations at its core and international laws The international order promotes the building of a community of human destiny.

　　With cooperation as the key word, the report clearly expresses the sincerity and goodwill of China's interaction with the world in the future, and it also injects action.

　　Almost 5 months have passed this year, and the gathering of the "power to break through the customs" is only for the day. It is expected that, guided by the “road map for breaking through customs” drawn in the government work report, China will surely solve difficult problems, seek the present moment, and promote the release of development confidence and a win-win future with the world.
