China News Agency, Beijing, December 30th. Title: Memory of 2020, China's "person" engraved in capitals

　　China has always emphasized "governance of the country and the benefit of the people."

In 2020, facing the historic crisis sweeping the world, China has deeply engraved the capitalized "person" in its annual memory.

　　People will never forget that when the epidemic spreads, China puts people’s life safety and health in the first place. It concentrates patients, experts, resources, and treatments at all costs, regardless of cost, and cherishes every life. Only then are there three. Around the month, the spread of the local epidemic was basically interrupted, and the defense of Wuhan and Hubei won a decisive moment.

　　People will never forget that when the epidemic caused an unprecedented impact on the economy, with factories shutting down, shopping malls shutting down, cities and ports closed, China launched a series of policy "first aid kits" at an unprecedented speed and intensity.

　　From the issuance of anti-epidemic special treasury bonds, trillions of yuan in new fiscal funds went directly to the grassroots level of cities and counties, to allowing small and micro enterprises with temporarily strained capital chains to postpone the repayment of bank loan principal and interest, to putting them in trouble due to the epidemic and illness People who have been included in the scope of assistance, all kinds of policy innovations are nothing more than to give charcoal in the snow, which really solves the worries about people's livelihood.

　　In the first 11 months of this year, China’s urban new jobs reached 10.99 million, and the annual target tasks were overfulfilled. The surveyed unemployment rate dropped from 6.2% in February to 5.2% in November; prices were stable, but they were once expensive. The price of pork, which is “unaffordable”, is now 10% lower than the same period last year.

　　What is even more rare is that with the improvement of the economy and stable employment, the nation's per capita disposable income has not fallen but has increased; at the end of last year, more than 5.5 million people who were still struggling below the absolute poverty line were all lifted out of poverty.

　　Behind the abstract numbers are people who have regained hope and confidence in the future, companies that have survived the epidemic and stood up again, and millions of families have lived a happy and peaceful life.

As pointed out by the Central Economic Work Conference, in an extraordinary year of 2020, China has handed in a "answer sheet that is satisfied with the people and attracted worldwide attention and can be recorded in the annals of history."

　　This answer sheet, which carries the warmth of people's livelihood, is not an accident, let alone an accident.

Chinese President Xi Jinping has repeatedly emphasized that “people’s sentiment is the greatest politics”, “people's livelihood is stable, people's sentiment is stable, and society is stable”, and demanded to seize the most immediate and practical interests of the people and earnestly protect basic people's livelihood.

The concept of "people first" will inevitably bear fruit that is full of sense of gain and happiness.

　　This warm answer sheet will make China's economic recovery more stable in the future.

　　Although China's economy is accelerating its recovery, the total retail sales of consumer goods have not been able to catch up with last year's level. The recovery of consumption, which is the first driving force for economic growth, is obviously slower than exports and investment.

　　Considering that China is striving to build a new development pattern with domestic and international cycles as the mainstay and mutual promotion of domestic and international dual cycles, stepping up to boost consumption and forming a strong domestic market are of great significance for stabilizing economic growth and enhancing development potential.

　　The "code" for expanding domestic demand is hidden in people's livelihood work.

From the huge consumption potential released by stabilizing jobs and lifting the poor out of poverty, to the new market demand stimulated by the transformation of old urban communities, to complementing the massive opportunities brought by shortcomings in education, medical care, elderly care, and childcare. Improvements will create a large number of new economic growth points for China, effectively boost domestic demand and increase long-term growth potential.

　　Next year, China will continue to anchor the "fixed star" of basic people's livelihood.

The Central Economic Work Conference clarified that it is necessary to promote employment, improve social security, optimize the income distribution structure, expand middle-income groups, and propose to combine expanding consumption with improving people's quality of life.

　　At a time when the epidemic is still spreading on a large scale and the world economy is still "chilling", this choice made by China will not only bring warmth to its people, but also make the world grow from China's domestic market and the economy is steadily recovering. Gain new benefits.

　　In the coming 2021, it is believed that China will engrave more warm and livelihood stories into new annual rings.
