"We will continue to communicate through video this year. Please ask questions." After the opening remarks, Li Keqiang answered 11 questions "over the screen" in about 2 hours, responding to six hot issues.
Talking about people's livelihood-"warm wind" blows away annoying things
"Employment can be said to be a big deal for a country and a family." Li Keqiang said that the policies and measures on employment introduced last year not only did not adjust, but also increased. Other policies must be conducive to employment. Employment still has to let the market play the leading role, that is, continue to ensure employment by protecting market players.
When will the reimbursement of outpatient expenses be settled?
In response to a question from a reporter from China News Agency, Li Keqiang said that this year we will expand the scope of direct reimbursement of outpatient expenses across provinces. By the end of next year, each county must identify a designated medical institution that can directly reimburse medical services including outpatient expenses. Expenses, these old people can no longer worry about this.
How will the government solve the people's livelihood problem?
Li Keqiang pointed out that the total government expenditure this year has increased slightly compared with last year, and the market is not small. Therefore, we must focus more on the broad areas of people's livelihood, especially compulsory education and basic medical care.
If the economy continues to improve in the second half of the year, greater efforts will be made to invest fiscal expenditures, including debt expenditures, in these areas.
Talking about the economy-6% "not low anymore"
China has set its economic growth target for this year at 6% or more, while many international organizations expect it to be around 8%.
Li Keqiang said bluntly that 6% is not low anymore. Now our total economic output has reached 100 trillion yuan (RMB, the same below), and an increase of 6% will be 6 trillion yuan. A growth rate of more than 8% is needed to achieve this.
"Moreover, we said that more than 6% is an opening, and it may grow even higher in the actual process."
Talking about the trend of macroeconomic policies, Li Keqiang said that last year, China did not engage in easing policies, or so-called quantitative easing, and there is no need to “turn sharply” this year. Great.

Regarding helping market entities get out of trouble and stimulating vitality, Li Keqiang said that the formulation and implementation of our policies this year will continue to revolve around market entities. This requires continuing to promote the reform of “delegation, regulation, and service” so that market entities not only survive, but also become active.
Innovation is a key driving force for the high-quality development of China's economy.
Li Keqiang said that innovation still depends on market forces.
Enterprise is the main body of innovation.
During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, the government will continue to increase investment in science and technology, and at the same time, it will rely more on social forces to increase investment in research and development. Therefore, we must increase investment in research and development under the calibre of "society as a whole."
Talking about China and the United States-we should look forward over the bumps
"We hope that China and the United States will have multi-domain and multi-level dialogue, and even if consensus cannot be reached at the moment, they can exchange opinions, increase trust and resolve doubts. This is conducive to control and resolve differences." Li Keqiang said.
He said that China and the United States share broad common interests and there are many areas where they can cooperate.
As permanent members of the UN Security Council, China and the United States share important responsibilities for maintaining world peace and stability and promoting world prosperity and development.
China-US relations should be pushed to look forward over the bumps and move in the direction of overall stability.
Speaking of Hong Kong and Taiwan-Adhere to multiple premises
On the same day, the "Decision of the National People's Congress on Improving the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region's Electoral System" was formally approved by a vote.
Li Keqiang said that the decision is very clear. It is to uphold and improve the system of "one country, two systems" and always adhere to "patriots ruling Hong Kong". It is also to ensure the stability and long-term development of "one country, two systems".
Regarding cross-strait relations, Li Keqiang answered clearly: Adhere to the one-China principle and the "92 Consensus."
"Under this premise, we welcome any political parties and organizations in Taiwan to interact with us, as well as people from various parties and organizations in Taiwan to have dialogue with us on cross-strait relations and the future of the nation."
He also emphasized that we insist on advancing the peaceful development of cross-strait relations and the reunification of the motherland, oppose any form of separatist activities for "Taiwan independence", and oppose interference by external forces.
Explaining the "double cycle"-good for China, good for the world
Speaking of building a new development pattern in which the domestic and international cycles are the mainstay and the domestic and international dual cycles promote each other, Li Keqiang said that this is not only to expand the domestic market, but also to expand opening up.
China will continuously and actively expand its opening up. This is the need of China's own interests and it is also beneficial to the world.
"I have noticed that many foreign companies are concerned about China's business environment, and we will continue to build a market-oriented, legalized, and internationalized business environment." Li Keqiang said, in short, through various efforts, we will continue to expand and open up while expanding domestic demand. , Continue to make China an important destination for foreign investment and a big market in the world.
Talking about the epidemic-countries strengthen cooperation in traceability work
Li Keqiang pointed out that tracing the source of the epidemic is indeed a complex scientific issue that requires countries to strengthen cooperation and continue research.
Based on the principles and attitude of seeking truth from facts, openness and transparency, and open cooperation, China maintains communication with the WHO and also supports WHO experts in conducting traceability research in China.
In the next step, we are also willing to continue to work with the WHO to promote scientific traceability.
"New crown pneumonia is the common enemy of mankind, and we hope that all parties will join hands, because in the face of such a common enemy of mankind, no country can stand alone, but we also firmly believe that mankind has the ability to eventually overcome this disease. I also hope that next year We can communicate face to face." Li Keqiang said.
