On March 8, after Li Guoying, Minister of Water Resources, answered a question about the national water network, the second "Minister's Channel" of the Fifth National Session of the Thirteenth National People's Congress ended.

And this question answered by Li Guoying has also become the last question of the last "Minister's Channel" of the current National People's Congress.

  Since the first session of the 13th National People's Congress, a total of 15 "Minister's Channels" have been held.

In these 15 "Minister's Channel", a total of 82 people were interviewed.

Since 2020, despite the impact of the epidemic, the "Ministerial Channel" has still been opened, so that the elements and quality are not reduced.

This is a brief "five-year summary" of the "Ministerial Channel" for the past five years by the host of the Ministerial Channel.

  The words are short, but the information revealed is very rich.

  2022 is the third year for the normalization of epidemic prevention and control.

Just like last year's National People's Congress, there are still two "Ministers' Channels" this year. Six ministers made appearances and "looked across the screen" with the reporters of the Media Center, and exchanged frankly.

At this conference, where the agenda has been effectively simplified and compressed, the questions and answers submitted by the ministers of the two "Ministerial Channel" are still wonderful.

As the host concluded, the gold content of the questions and answers is not compromised.

  He Lifeng, Chairman of the National Development and Reform Commission, Liu Kun, Minister of Finance, Tang Renjian, Minister of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, Wang Zhigang, Minister of Science and Technology, Xiao Yaqing, Minister of Industry and Information Technology, and Li Guoying, Minister of Water Resources. Channel", the six ministers appeared successively.

One of the ministers appeared on the ministerial channel for the first time after taking office.

Behind their answers, they focused on the concerns of ordinary citizens on important issues such as macroeconomic policies, tax and fee reductions, rural revitalization, technological innovation, small and medium-sized enterprises, and the flood control situation.

  The five ministers were the same as last year, and the Minister of Water Resources Li Guoying made his debut

  Among the six ministers who appeared in the two "Ministers' Channels", five were "old faces".

At the Media Center, the reporters met again with He Lifeng, Chairman of the National Development and Reform Commission, Liu Kun, Minister of Finance, Tang Renjian, Minister of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, Wang Zhigang, Minister of Science and Technology, and Xiao Yaqing, Minister of Industry and Information Technology.

It is worth mentioning that Wang Zhigang, Minister of Science and Technology, has been on the "Minister's Channel" for the fourth time since 2018.

  Since taking office in March last year, Li Guoying, Minister of Water Resources, made his first appearance in the "Minister's Channel".

  The Minister of Water Resources embarked on the "Minister's Channel", which may be related to the severe floods in some areas last year.

The first question Li Guoying answered introduced the big test he faced in his first year in office. Li Guoying used a set of detailed data to introduce the effect of flood control and drought relief last year.

  How will the flood this year be?

Li Guoying introduced the preliminary trend analysis of this year's flood situation.

For this year's "battle", Li Guoying expressed his confidence with a smile: resolutely fight a battle that is prepared and sure.

  From economic growth expectations to preventing large-scale return to poverty...

  Why are SMEs mentioned so many times?

  In the two ministerial channels, 6 ministers answered a total of 21 questions.

On March 5, the government work report was just released, announcing the expected economic growth target of 5.5% this year.

The first "Minister's Channel" was held immediately.

He Lifeng, head of the National Development and Reform Commission, took the lead in "appearing".

He clearly gave a "reassuring" answer to the expected economic growth target.

On the "Minister's Channel" last year, He Lifeng used four "yes" to express his attitude.

This year, He Lifeng expressed his confidence with five "yes" in a row: "We have full confidence, determination, foundation, conditions and ability to continue to maintain our country's economic operation within a reasonable range and achieve the annual goals and tasks. Let's work together. , together to the future."

  This opening answer is sonorous and powerful.

  Tax cuts and fee reductions, the deficit ratio dropped to around 2.8... All three questions raised to Minister of Finance Liu Kun were related to the government work report just released at that time.

In response to the issue of tax cuts and fee reductions, Liu Kun made it clear that the amount of tax rebates in 2022 is expected to reach 2.5 trillion yuan, the largest scale in history.

And the most important thing to do is to "stay in the green hills and win the future."

  Tang Renjian, Minister of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, responded to a question from a reporter from the Chengdu Commercial Daily-Red Star News about "how to prevent a large-scale return to poverty".

His attitude is very clear, that is, we must resolutely hold the bottom line of not returning to poverty on a large scale.

And this clear attitude has already been conveyed to all directions through the "Minister's Channel".

  At the second "Minister's Channel" held on March 8, the reporters and ministers paid special attention to small and medium-sized enterprises, especially "specialized, special and innovative" small and medium-sized enterprises and technology-based small and medium-sized enterprises.

In this regard, Wang Zhigang, Minister of Science and Technology, emphasized that innovation does not depend on one's background.

For small and medium-sized enterprises, the key point is how to have their own expertise in technological innovation and specialized products, and how to make continuous progress and development through technological innovation.

Xiao Yaqing, Minister of Industry and Information Technology, proposed to further expand the scale and scope of specialized, specialized, and new small and medium-sized enterprises. This year, the national-level "little giant" enterprises plan to cultivate more than 3,000 more, and drive the cultivation of provincial-level "specialized, specialized, and new" small and medium-sized enterprises to reach more than 50,000. .

The concern of SMEs has obviously become the consensus of ministers.

  The two "Minister's Channel" ended, and the host left a sentence: "Looking forward to the first session of the 14th National People's Congress next spring, we will meet in the North Hall of the Great Hall of the People."

  This is a beautiful expectation, just like what the host said last year, "Looking forward to the next epidemic-free spring together."
