On the morning of the 11th, after the conclusion of the Fifth Session of the 13th National People's Congress, Premier Li Keqiang attended a press conference in the Golden Hall on the third floor of the Great Hall of the People and answered questions from Chinese and foreign reporters.

　　"Going on the road, people-oriented, and benefiting the world is to take the people's expectations as the direction of governance" "High-level stability, in essence, is progress" "The measures taken this year will never advance the future" "Local governments should be" "Iron rooster"" "Seat belts should be fastened to the 'riders'"... Some of the words of the Prime Minister's press conference have aroused concern.

　　——Stability at a high level is, in essence, progress

　　Achieving a growth rate of around 5.5% is stable at a high level. In essence, it is progress. It is not easy and must be supported by corresponding macro policies.

Take fiscal policy, for example, this year we have lowered the deficit rate to 2.8%, and the deficit is more than 200 billion yuan less than last year.

But at the same time, we have stepped up fiscal spending.

Of course, we also have a number of supporting measures such as finance and employment.

　　- Seemingly slower, but actually heavier

　　Ten years ago, our total economic volume was still more than 50 trillion yuan, an increase of 10%, and an increment of 600000000000007000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000SqRn, and this year we have to have 9000000000000 nominal GDP increment.

　　It’s like climbing a mountain. If you want to climb a 1000-meter mountain and you want to climb 10%, then 100 meters is fine. If you want to climb a 3,000-meter mountain and want to climb 5%, that’s 150 meters.

And the conditions have also changed. The higher the altitude, the lower the air pressure and the less oxygen. It seems that the speed has slowed down, but in fact the weight is heavier.

　　——Based on the current, focus on the long-term, never advance the future

　　The measures we have taken this year are not only short-term, but also based on the current and long-term perspective. We will never prepay for the future and are sustainable.

China still has many problems to deal with, such as climate change, income disparity, debt, etc., all of which need to be dealt with vigorously in the medium and long-term process, including this year.

　　——Speak a thousand words, it is better to do a real thing

　　Judging from our practice in the past few years, the effect of tax reduction and fee reduction is the most direct.

Judging from the relevant reports I received this year, tax cuts and fee reductions are generally regarded as the first expectation for the government's macro policies.

It seems that fertilization has to be applied to the roots, so that the roots can flourish.

　　The large-scale tax reduction and fee reduction we implemented this time is a combination of tax rebates and fee reductions, with a scale of 2.5 trillion yuan.

Tax rebate is equivalent to direct cash for the enterprise and increase cash flow, which is timely rain.

It is better to do a real thing than to say a thousand words, and we must put this key measure in place.

　　——The local government wants to be an "iron rooster", and can't spend a penny of the money that should not be spent

　　Tax rebates are mainly paid for by the central government, and of course local governments also have to "make up for it".

The money from our tax rebate goes directly to the enterprises. Considering the difficulties of the grassroots, our transfer payment subsidy funds for the grassroots go directly to the grassroots below the city and county level.

Our local government wants to be an "iron rooster", not a penny of the money it should not spend, and not a penny of the money that should be given to the market players.

　　——It is necessary to fasten "seat belts" to "riders", so that the new employment form can stimulate the vitality of the market

　　We will provide them with various support measures such as training, and use market-oriented methods to solve the employment problem.

We believe that ordinary people have superior intelligence, and if they use their strengths and talents, the big stage of employment will be colorful.

　　We also have to mention flexible employment here, because there are more than 200 million people in various forms and wide coverage.

As a developing country, this form of employment will exist for a long time.

As a government, we must gradually improve policies for their labor rights, social security and other issues, that is to say, we must put "seat belts" on these "riders", so that new forms of employment such as flexible employment are not only urgent, but also stimulate Market dynamism and social creativity.

　　——If it is closed, it will not be auspicious, and the lives of ordinary people will be affected

　　In response to a question from a reporter from China News Agency, Premier Li Keqiang said that at present, consumer demand is indeed weak, mainly due to weak offline consumer demand.

As you can imagine, there are many shops in Changxiang Lane in the city, and the steam is hot, that is, the bustling fireworks on earth.

If it is closed, it will not be auspicious, and the lives of ordinary people will be affected.

Therefore, we support industries with special difficulties, not only to let them survive, but also to warm the lives of the people, so that our economy can show more vitality.

For these industries with special difficulties, we have issued more than 40 supporting policies.

　　——Make epidemic prevention and control more scientific and precise, and protect people's lives and health

　　China has been coordinating epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development, and actively promoting international exchanges and cooperation. We will make the prevention and control more scientific and precise according to the changes in the epidemic situation and the characteristics of the virus, so as to protect the lives and health of the people, ensure the normal production and living order, and safeguard the industrial chain. Supply chain security.

We will continue to accumulate experience, respond to possible changes in a timely manner, and gradually make the logistics and people flow orderly and smooth.

　　——I am very concerned about the life, health and safety of Hong Kong citizens

　　At present, the situation of the new crown epidemic in Hong Kong is severe. The SAR government has decided to postpone the election of the sixth chief executive in accordance with the law and focus on fighting the epidemic. We fully understand and support it.

The central government is following the epidemic in Hong Kong every day, and is very concerned about the life, health and safety of Hong Kong citizens.

The SAR government should shoulder the main responsibility of fighting the epidemic, and the central government will fully support the fight against the epidemic.

　　——The compatriots on both sides of the strait are a family after all, and the sibling relationship can be cut off at any time

　　Our policy toward Taiwan is clear, that is, we adhere to the one-China principle and the "1992 Consensus," resolutely oppose "Taiwan independence" separatist acts, and promote the peaceful development of cross-strait relations and the reunification of the motherland.

　　After all, compatriots on both sides of the strait are a family, and brotherhood and kinship can never be separated at any time. We are willing to continue to share development opportunities with the majority of Taiwan compatriots, provide equal treatment to Taiwan compatriots who come to the mainland for development, and do practical, good and difficult things for them.

　　——The Chinese side is willing to work with the United States to choose lenient ways and seek long-term benefits

　　China-US cooperation is beneficial to both countries and the world.

The areas of Sino-US cooperation are broad and have great potential.

If the U.S. eases export restrictions to China, the bilateral trade volume will be even larger, benefiting both countries and peoples.

China is willing to work with the US to choose lenient ways and seek long-term benefits.

　　——I hope the situation in Ukraine can be eased and peace can be returned to it as soon as possible

　　The current situation in Ukraine has attracted worldwide attention, and China is deeply concerned and deplored.

It is sincerely hoped that the situation in Ukraine can be eased and peace can be returned at an early date.

China has always pursued an independent foreign policy of peace, and the development of bilateral relations has never targeted a third party.

We will develop cooperative relations with all parties in the spirit of mutual respect, mutual benefit and win-win results to provide more stability to the world.
