After the closing of the fifth session of the 13th National People's Congress on the morning of March 11, 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.

　　People's Daily reporter: Hello, Prime Minister.

In recent years, the per capita income of Chinese residents has increased year by year, but many people still feel that life is not easy, especially the new crown epidemic has brought a greater impact on basic people's livelihood.

May I ask the Prime Minister, what considerations and measures will the government take to improve people's livelihood this year?

thanks.

　　Li Keqiang: In recent years, the income and GDP growth of Chinese residents have been basically synchronized.

However, China is still a developing country, the gap between urban and rural areas is obvious, and the equalization of public services is a long-term process.

At the beginning of this year, relevant authorities handed me materials reflecting the ten expectations of people's livelihood. I think most of them are basic people's livelihood, and most of them are from the peasant masses.

Therefore, the government must always focus on protecting and improving people's livelihood for the purpose of economic development.

　　Li Keqiang: my country's total fiscal revenue has reached 20 trillion yuan, but it is not sufficient.

For 10 consecutive years, we have tried our best to ensure that the financial education funding is not less than 4% of GDP. This is not easy, and it is mainly for compulsory education and rural areas, because there are still 760 million registered population in our rural areas. It is necessary to further increase investment in compulsory education in rural and remote areas.

On the other hand, we have established the world's largest basic medical insurance network for 1.4 billion people, but the level is not high, so we will increase the standard of 30 yuan per capita financial subsidy this year.

We have established a system of serious illness medical insurance, which is to use basic medical insurance to buy commercial serious illness medical insurance, so that some diseases can be reimbursed to 300,000 yuan to 500,000 yuan in some places, and there are no caps in high places.

In general, the reimbursement rate for medical treatment for urban and rural residents can reach 70%, and it will gradually increase with the increase of national strength.

In particular, it is necessary to consolidate the achievements of poverty alleviation, and special support and assistance should be given to those who return to poverty due to illness or become impoverished due to serious illness.

　　Li Keqiang: Basic people's livelihood and daily life are closely linked. Now we have more than 100 million people who move across provinces. They are employed, pensioners, and schooling in different places. They often have to go back and forth to do some things. "Trans-provincial handling" has indeed become a New just needed.

We are going to implement a new policy this year, which is to digitize the commonly used ID cards, which means that you can do relevant matters by scanning the code with your mobile phone.

Of course, we also need to provide convenience for those who do not use smartphones, especially the elderly, and to protect the information security and privacy of citizens.

　　Li Keqiang: To ensure the basic livelihood of the people, we must use both strength and heart. We must insist on seeking truth from facts, let the facts speak, and listen to the voices and demands of the people.

In fact, the issue of people's livelihood is related to public sentiment, public opinion and even people's will. The government's responsibility is to comply with the people's will, solve their worries and problems, and let the people live a good life.

　　Li Keqiang: I would like to emphasize one point here, to protect the legitimate rights and interests of the people.

This is what the people's government must carry on its shoulders.

Recently, serious violations of women's rights have occurred in some places. We are not only saddened by the victims, but also very angry about this.

Those who disregard the rights and interests of the masses must be resolutely held accountable, and those criminal acts of abducting and trafficking in women and children must be severely cracked down and punished severely.

People's safety and people's livelihood are inseparable. Governments at all levels must make every effort to benefit the people's livelihood and ensure their safety as their basic duties.

thanks.
