　　CCTV reporter: The current epidemic situation and the external environment still have many uncertainties. There are many different views on China's economic situation at home and abroad.

The government work report just now gave some expected goals for my country's economic development in 2021, with a GDP growth rate of more than 6%.

Director He, how do you look at this economic target?

What do you think of China's economic trends in 2021?

What are the supporting factors for the development of economic growth this year?

　　He Lifeng: When Premier Li Keqiang delivered the government work report just now, he has comprehensively and objectively summarized the main tasks of last year and the "13th Five-Year Plan" period, deeply analyzed the severe and complex situation we will face at present and in the future, and proposed this year and " The main work arrangements during the 14th Five-Year Plan period.

I understand that the situation last year was very special. The sudden spread of the new crown pneumonia epidemic around the world, combined with various factors, the US economy fell by 3.5%, the EU economy fell by 6.4%, Japan’s economy fell by 4.8%, while my country’s economy was growing by 2.3%, becoming the world’s leading economy. The only country in the economy that has achieved positive growth.

The total economic volume has exceeded 101 trillion yuan, and the per capita GDP has exceeded 72,000 yuan, which is equivalent to 10,500 U.S. dollars.

Great historical achievements have been made in building a well-off society in all respects, the fight against poverty has been fully won, and the "13th Five-Year Plan" has come to a successful conclusion.

This has created better conditions and consolidated a solid foundation for the realization of this year's goals and tasks and the "14th Five-Year Plan".

We don’t know how difficult it is. These achievements are hard-won, and experience is precious. We will continue to carry forward this year and in the future.

　　He Lifeng: The goals and tasks for this year have been determined. It is proposed that the GDP will increase by more than 6%.

The economic situation is indeed more complicated. The main reason is that there are more uncertain factors. One is the trend of the epidemic, and the other is how the external environment changes. The Chinese economy has been deeply integrated into the global economy. This impact is objective.

Judging from the situation in January and February this year, China's economy has continued the trend since the second half of last year, especially since the fourth quarter, and maintained a steady and positive trend.

1. Export growth in February may exceed 50%, leading indicators such as PMI have remained above 50%, growth rates of electricity consumption and power generation have been maintained above 20%, and freight index growth rates such as daily railway loading have been maintained. Above 10%.

All this shows that Chinese enterprises have a strong ability to adapt to changes in the situation, the resilience of the Chinese economy is very strong, and the stamina of China's economic development is very strong.

　　He Lifeng: Therefore, we have the confidence, determination, strength and confidence to achieve this year's goals and tasks.

From the perspective of the primary industry, after many years of implementing the strategy of “reserving grain in the ground and storing grain in technology”, my country’s agricultural infrastructure conditions have been greatly improved and improved. If no particularly major natural disasters occur, the grain output this year will remain at the same level. More than 1.3 trillion catties can be achieved, and the country's basic rations can be self-sufficient.

From the perspective of the secondary industry, after years of implementing supply-side structural reforms and promoting high-quality development, emerging industries are in the ascendant, and traditional manufacturing is accelerating its development towards high-end, intelligent, and green industries. China has the advantages of complete industrial categories and complete systems. Increasingly prominent, the prospects are promising.

At present, it is the tertiary industry that is more difficult. There are relatively many difficulties, problems, and blockages, especially in hotel accommodation, passenger transport services, tourism and entertainment. The difficulties of small, medium and micro enterprises will be greater. Various localities and departments are facing more difficulties. Together with relevant parties, we will vigorously help companies solve these problems.

We believe that the goals and tasks for the whole year can be achieved.
