This is not easy.

　　Li Keqiang pointed out that the stable recovery of China's economy has benefited from our implementation of a series of policies to help enterprises and rescue the market players.

By keeping the market players, we can keep employment, and if there is employment, there will be income and consumption, which can promote economic growth.

We pay attention to the use of market-oriented means, and concentrate policy resources directly to market players, especially helping small, medium and micro enterprises and individual industrial and commercial households to tide over difficulties.

Intensify tax and fee reduction efforts, establish a mechanism to directly reach the grassroots level of cities and counties, and directly benefit enterprises and people, and improve the timeliness of macroeconomic policies.

Intensify the counter-cyclical adjustment of monetary policy, and innovate and introduce financial policy tools that directly reach real enterprises.

Comprehensively strengthen the employment priority policy, and focus on stabilizing and expanding employment in a market-oriented manner.

　　The stable recovery of China's economy has also benefited from our concurrent implementation of reform and opening up, which stimulated the vitality of market players and the endogenous driving force for development.

Deepening the reform of “delegating control, delegating control, and servicing”, optimizing the business environment, mass entrepreneurship and innovation are flourishing, and the current average number of newly established market entities has exceeded last year.

In the face of the impact of the epidemic, the resilience shown by hundreds of millions of market players and the people is the most powerful support for China's economic fundamentals, and it is also where we have the greatest confidence in dealing with difficulties and challenges.

　　The stable recovery of China's economy also benefits from our huge domestic demand market.

China is a large economy, and its biggest advantage is its huge domestic market.

In a sense, the policies for helping enterprises to relieve the difficulties introduced this year are policies that are conducive to promoting consumption, especially the preservation of employment can effectively promote consumption.

We never deliberately pursue a surplus, but insist on both export and import, and actively expand imports of high-quality goods and services to better meet the needs of industry and consumption upgrades.

　　Li Keqiang pointed out that during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, we will focus on development, run our own affairs well, continue to innovate and improve macro-control, and maintain policy continuity, effectiveness and sustainability.

With reform and innovation as the fundamental driving force, we will accelerate the creation of a market-oriented, legalized, international business environment.

We will build a new development pattern, expand domestic demand and open up to the outside world, build a strong domestic market, smooth the domestic cycle, promote higher levels of opening up, strengthen intellectual property protection, encourage domestic and foreign companies to compete fairly, and attract more foreign investment China also allows Chinese companies to go global and achieve greater mutual benefit and win-win results.

　　Li Keqiang emphasized that in the face of challenges, the international community should unite and cooperate and work together to deal with them.

The general trend of economic globalization is irreversible, and open cooperation is still the trend of the times. All parties must maintain multilateralism and free trade, and promote the improvement of the international economic governance system.
