The results of epidemic prevention prove that my country's epidemic prevention policy is in line with national conditions

  The results of epidemic prevention and control have proved that my country's epidemic prevention policies are in line with China's national conditions and scientific laws. Our epidemic prevention measures are relatively low-cost and effective, reflecting the people-centered governance concept and the superiority of my country's socialist system.

We must pay close attention to, study and judge the development of the epidemic situation at home and abroad, strengthen scientific prevention and control, implement precise policies, and strive to control the epidemic at a higher level and at a lower social cost, so as to ensure the sustainable, healthy and stable development of the economy and society.

The fundamentals of China's economy have not changed for a long time

  Last year, my country's economic operation maintained a stable recovery trend. The economic growth rate was 8.1%, the total economic volume exceeded 110 trillion yuan, and the per capita GDP exceeded 12,000 US dollars. This shows that the fundamentals of China's long-term economic growth have not changed.

This year, the external environment has become more complex and uncertain, and my country's economic development is facing severe challenges.

Members of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and relevant experts all believe that we have the confidence, conditions and ability to achieve stable, healthy and sustainable economic development.

China's foreign trade business is as dynamic as young people

  In 2021, the scale of China's foreign trade import and export will reach 6.05 trillion US dollars, a record high.

There are indeed many uncertain and unstable factors in the field of foreign trade this year, but at the same time, we must also see that my country's foreign trade industry has a solid foundation and strong resilience. is expected to remain within a reasonable range.

  During the research, I met a lot of young people, which left a deep impression on me: "They are energetic and determined to forge ahead. I think China's foreign trade business will be as dynamic as these young people, and the future is promising."

New industries and new formats continue to create new jobs

  The members believed that the number of new urban jobs and the national surveyed unemployment rate in urban areas were better than expected last year, and the employment situation was generally stable.

At present, the economic situation at home and abroad is still complex, uncertain and unstable factors are increasing, and my country is faced with problems such as large employment volume and prominent structural contradictions.

The members believe that stable employment this year also faces some favorable conditions, including the sustained economic recovery and the vigorous development of new industries and new formats that continue to create new jobs.

The new electoral system enables the principle of patriots ruling Hong Kong to be implemented

  Last year, under the new electoral system, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region successfully held the election of the new Election Committee and the seventh Legislative Council. The election of the sixth Chief Executive will also be held.

The members believed that the new electoral system has embodied the democratic rights of the majority of Hong Kong compatriots to be the masters of the country, the principle of "patriots ruling Hong Kong" has been implemented, and the political pattern of broad and balanced participation of all social strata and sectors has been established.

Practice has proved that the new electoral system conforms to the principle of "one country, two systems" and the reality of Hong Kong.

All relevant parties are fully supporting Hong Kong's fight against the epidemic

  The epidemic situation in Hong Kong is extremely severe, which has had a serious impact on the safety and health of citizens and the economy and people's livelihood.

The central government and relevant parties in the mainland are making every effort to support Hong Kong's fight against the epidemic.

The National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and members of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference have actively supported Hong Kong's fight against the epidemic in different ways.

Members of the Hong Kong CPPCC have fulfilled their duties conscientiously and have taken various measures to fight the epidemic with all walks of life in Hong Kong.

The so-called democratic summit in the United States gangs up, suppresses others, and divides the world

  The so-called democracy summit held by the United States when its own domestic problems are full of contradictions and American-style democracy is plagued by stigma is nothing more than to rally gangs, suppress others, divide the world, and maintain its hegemonic position.

Democracy is pluralistic, not the preserve of a few countries.

The democratic system of each country should be independently chosen by the people of each country according to their own national conditions.

The fit is the best.

  A recent poll by a well-known international public relations firm showed that the Chinese people have the highest level of trust in the government, exceeding 90%.

This is in stark contrast to the less than 40 percent trust the American public has in its own government.

Some Western countries are chaotic in their social governance, trying to impose their so-called democratic model on other countries through "color revolutions", etc., causing serious disasters.

The United States has misappropriated the banner of democracy to serve its own interests, and people around the world have seen it more and more clearly.
