"Compared with the draft of today's report, the draft written before the Spring Festival has undergone great changes in content and form. In some respects, it can be said that it is completely different."
Chinese Premier Li Keqiang gave a government work report to the Third Session of the 13th National People's Congress on the 22nd. Huang Shouhong, the head of the government work report drafting group and director of the State Council Research Office, and Sun Guojun, a member of the government work report drafting group and a member of the State Council Research Office party group, revealed to reporters the story behind the drafting of the government work report.
2020 is the year of China's decisive battle against poverty and the year of decisive victory to build a moderately prosperous society. However, the impact of the new coronary pneumonia epidemic has disrupted the process of drafting the report.
"As far as the report drafting is concerned, an unprecedented new situation has been encountered," Huang Shouhong recalled at the official briefing held that day. Since the end of 2019, the drafting team has carried out the drafting of this government work report in accordance with the established procedures.
After the draft report was reviewed and approved by the Party Central Committee and the State Council, it was issued to all regions, departments and units for comments, and then the drafting group revised the government work report based on the comments solicited.
However, due to the impact of the new coronary pneumonia epidemic, major changes have taken place at home and abroad, and the National Two Conferences have been postponed, which means that the government work report also needs to be adjusted and revised.
The first is that the time is different from before. Huang Shouhong introduced that in the past, the government work report was deployed throughout the year, but this year is actually deployed for the next 7 months.
Secondly, the situation is constantly changing. Huang Shouhong said that the international epidemic situation is changing, the domestic epidemic prevention and control achievements are constantly expanding, and the domestic and international economic situation is also changing. In order to better understand the pulse of quasi-economic and social development and better respond to the concerns of all sectors of society, the report is constantly being revised, "especially in recent times, it has been changing almost every day."
The third is that people's concerns are constantly changing. Huang Shouhong said that in the process of drafting and revising the report, the drafting group paid special attention to the reactions of netizens, and even organized a person to collect opinions from netizens. However, the emergence of the epidemic has changed the focus of netizens.
He revealed that judging from the comments of netizens collected by the Chinese government website, the emphasis of the comments has changed before and after the epidemic. "In the near term, the focus is on employment, medical care, housing, income and consumption, and market players. Aspects ".
"In order to better understand the pulse of quasi-economic and social development and better respond to all social concerns, the report is constantly being revised."
Through repeated revisions, this report also showed distinctive characteristics.
——The space is shortened greatly. The government work report of previous years was about 19,500 words at the time of the issuance of the General Assembly, and this year, about 10,400 words, roughly halved. Huang Shouhong said that under this year's situation, the government work report must be focused and focused, which is also the expectation of all parties in society. "But what is not written is equally important and requires constant effort."
——No specific growth target. Sun Guojun said that not setting specific targets for economic growth does not mean not paying attention to economic growth or letting economic growth decline, but because of the uncertainty of the epidemic trend and the uncertainty of the world economy.
——Employment has become a high-frequency hot word, and there are 39 references in the report. Huang Shouhong said that China still has more than 460 billion yuan in unemployment insurance fund balances and more than 2 trillion yuan in social security fund strategic reserves. This year, it will also promote unemployment insurance provincial level co-ordination. "Through these series of measures, China has the ability and the means to trap unemployment."
Huang Shouhong said that after the morning meeting, he specially browsed the comments of netizens. "I feel that the report responds to the concerns of all parties, reflects the expectations of all parties, and has the function of gathering people's hearts, warming people's hearts, strengthening confidence, and building concentricity."
Huang Shouhong revealed that in recent days, the drafting group will continue to revise the government work report based on the opinions of NPC deputies and CPPCC members.
Regarding what was not written in the report, he emphasized that there must always be plans for fighting. We now have many ways to deal with the crisis. The bullets are not exhausted, leaving ample room and backhand. "If the situation changes beyond expectations, relevant policies will be improved." (Finish)
