Since the beginning of 2020, a sudden new crown pneumonia epidemic began to ravage our country.
The virus hits, and the epidemic is menacing.
This epidemic is the most serious infectious disease pandemic that has occurred in the world in a century. It is a major public health emergency with the fastest spread, the widest infection range and the most difficult prevention and control in my country since the founding of the People's Republic of China. It poses a serious threat to life safety and physical health, and also has a serious impact on my country's economic development.
However, over the past few years, the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core has reviewed the situation, made decisive decisions, efficiently coordinated epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development, unswervingly adhered to the principle of people first and life first, adhered to external defense against imports, internal defense against rebound, and insisted on normalizing the epidemic. Prevention and control, adhere to dynamic clearing, protect people's lives and health to the greatest extent, and minimize the impact of the epidemic on economic and social development.
In coping with this complex and severe battle against the epidemic, China's economy is not afraid of the impact of the epidemic, has withstood enormous pressure, withstood the severe test, and forged ahead against the waves, and continued to maintain stability while making progress and improving steadily. The basic situation shows the strong development resilience, the strong character of the party and the government, the Chinese people and the Chinese nation who dare to fight and win, and fully reflects the value of the times to grow up and rise from hardships.
Adhere to the epistemology of seeking truth from facts, and analyze and judge China's economic situation from a comprehensive, dialectical and long-term perspective
Scientifically analyzing the situation and grasping the general trend of development is our party's fine tradition and important experience in doing economic work well.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, no matter how complicated and volatile the domestic and international situation is, General Secretary Xi Jinping has always emphasized that we must insist on analyzing the current economic situation from a comprehensive, dialectical and long-term perspective.
Especially in the face of the severe impact of the new crown pneumonia epidemic on the economy and society, we must adhere to a comprehensive, dialectical and long-term perspective on my country's development, and emphasize strengthening and strengthening confidence.
It should be noted that, as an exogenous variable affecting economic operation, the impact of the epidemic is short-term and generally controllable. Taken together, the fundamentals of my country's long-term economic growth have not changed.
As long as we can turn pressure into motivation, be good at turning crises into opportunities, strive to nurture opportunities in crises, start new situations in changing situations, and fully unleash the huge potential and strong momentum of our country's development, the goals and tasks of economic and social development can be achieved. of.
We adhere to the "two-point theory".
Closely following the two aspects of the epidemic, which pose a serious threat to people's life safety and health, and have a serious impact on economic and social development, we should be problem-oriented and focus on the main contradiction and the main aspect of the contradiction.
On the one hand, in response to the sudden outbreak of the epidemic, the CPC Central Committee reviewed the situation and made a comprehensive study and judgment, and promptly put forward the general requirements of firm confidence, solidarity, scientific prevention and control, and precise policy implementation, and strengthened unified leadership, unified command, and unified action for epidemic prevention and control, and resolutely curbed the situation. the spread of the epidemic.
Under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee, a strategic pattern of comprehensive mobilization, comprehensive deployment, and comprehensive strengthening of epidemic prevention and control has been formed.
On the other hand, the economy and society is a dynamic circulatory system that cannot be suspended for a long time.
On the premise of ensuring that epidemic prevention and control are in place, the CPC Central Committee has issued a series of effective and effective policy measures, innovated macro-control policies, increased policy adjustment, and vigorously promoted the resumption of work and production of enterprises and institutions in non-epidemic prevention and control key areas, and resumed production in an orderly manner Life order, and continue to strengthen the "six stability" measures, the implementation of the "six guarantees" work.
We adhere to the "system theory".
While adhering to normalized epidemic prevention and control, strengthen forward-looking thinking, overall planning, strategic layout, and overall promotion, coordinate domestic and international situations, coordinate epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development, coordinate development and security, and adhere to a national game of chess , to give better play to the central, local and all parties' initiative, not only focus on solving the shortcomings and weaknesses exposed in my country's public health field under the impact of the epidemic, but also deploy major infrastructure construction from the perspective of economic and social development and long-term stability, and focus on solidifying the foundation and making up for shortcomings. , strengths and weaknesses, focus on solid security barriers to prevent and defuse major risks, and promote the unification of the quality, structure, scale, speed, efficiency, and safety of economic development.
We adhere to the "long-term view".
Always sing the main theme, play a good propaganda and active battle, and form concentric circles online and offline, emphasizing that the basic characteristics of my country's economic potential, strong resilience, large room for maneuver, and many policy tools have not changed. The fundamentals of China have not changed. The impact of the epidemic cannot shake the general trend of China's stable economic operation, and no difficulties and obstacles can stop the Chinese people's progress towards a better life.
Adhere to the value theory of the supremacy of the people, and coordinate the epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development with the people-centered development concept
Adhering to the people-centered development philosophy has been fully reflected in the great struggle of coordinating epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development.
At all stages of the great battle of epidemic prevention and control, the CPC Central Committee has always put people's lives and safety first.
People first, life first, embodies the profound tradition of benevolence of the Chinese people and the fundamental purpose and value pursuit of the Chinese Communists to serve the people wholeheartedly.
In the face of protecting the safety of people's lives, we can spare no effort to protect every life, and take care of human life, human value, and human dignity. This has become the best interpretation of the CPC's philosophy of governing for the people.
Over the past few years, we have unswervingly adhered to the general policy of "dynamic clearing", which is determined by the nature and purpose of the party. Practice has proved that our prevention and control policies can stand the test of history, and our prevention and control measures are scientific. Effective.
Over the past few years, we have been able to respond to the frequent and frequent outbreaks of the epidemic on a regular basis, and on the whole, we have achieved an orderly control of the epidemic across the country, thanks to the people-centered development thinking that has taken root in the hearts of the people, and the solidarity of all the Chinese people to share weal and woe. It is beneficial to thousands of ordinary Chinese who stepped forward, moved forward generously, and formed a great anti-epidemic spirit.
Under the premise of adhering to normalized epidemic prevention and control, over the past few years, we have continuously innovated policies, implemented precise policies, and responded scientifically, closely focused on ensuring market entities, employment and people's livelihood, and comprehensively implemented a series of policies to stabilize the economy. Promote the recovery of the national economy to the normal operating track.
From the macro-policy level: increase the intensity of macro-policy adjustment, implement both counter-cyclical and cross-cyclical adjustment of macro-policy, and strive to prevent economic operations from slipping out of a reasonable range and preventing short-term shocks from evolving into trend changes.
Over the past few years, from the central to the local level, we have focused on the overall situation, acted proactively, put policies first and responsibilities first, and promptly planned incremental policy tools, intensified efforts to control and control, and grasped the advance and redundancy of goal-oriented policies.
While urging the implementation of the established policies, we will promptly study policy plans in response to changes in the situation, and promptly introduce measures that are conducive to stabilizing market expectations.
A proactive fiscal policy should be more proactive, vigorously implement policies such as tax rebates, tax cuts and fee reductions, expand the scale of local government special bond issuance, and optimize the investment structure within the budget.
A prudent monetary policy should pay more attention to flexibility and moderation, put support for the recovery and development of the real economy in a more prominent position, make good use of existing financial support policies, introduce new policy measures in a timely manner, continuously innovate and improve financial support methods, and adjust and improve corporate repayment. Arrangements for interest payment, increase loan extension and renewal efforts, appropriately reduce or exempt the loan interest of small and micro enterprises, and prevent the capital chain of enterprises from breaking, etc.
At the level of stabilizing market players and employment: speed up the resumption of work, production and business of enterprises, smooth the circulation of the industrial chain and supply chain, and break through various market barriers and various blocking points and petechiae caused by the impact of the epidemic.
In more industries, the full amount of existing and incremental tax refunds will be implemented, and efforts will be made to help market entities, especially the majority of small, medium and micro enterprises, and individual industrial and commercial households, to help and tide over difficulties, so as to retain the green hills and win the future.
At the same time, we will comprehensively strengthen measures to stabilize employment and increase the implementation of the employment priority policy.
Adjusting the intensity of policies according to changes in the employment situation, simultaneously reducing burdens, stabilizing jobs, and expanding employment, and implementing policies such as periodic reduction and exemption of social security premiums, unemployment insurance stabilizing job returns, and employment subsidies. Difficulty in finding employment and other prominent contradictions, we have classified assistance according to localities, enterprises, and people to improve the accuracy of policies.
Strengthen employment promotion and services for key groups such as college graduates, migrant workers, especially poverty-stricken laborers, and urban people in difficulties, and support flexible employment through multiple channels.
At the level of protecting people's livelihood: the epidemic directly affects the income of residents, plus the price increase caused by the impact of comprehensive domestic and foreign factors in the past few years, some people face more difficulties in basic life.
The Party Central Committee resolutely implements the "rice bag" governor responsibility system and the "vegetable basket" mayor responsibility system to ensure the supply of staple and non-staple foods, and effectively ensure the stable supply of residents' daily necessities.
Strengthen the basic guarantee for the needy people. Where conditions permit, we can strengthen the basic guarantee for the needy people, appropriately increase the temporary price subsidy standard for the needy people, and strive to do a good job in unemployment protection, subsistence allowances, and assistance to the needy people.
At the same time, increase the intensity of financial transfer payments to ensure that the grassroots guarantee wages, operation, and basic people's livelihood.
Adhere to the development theory of bright prospects, maintain strategic focus with adaptable and contingency strategies, and do your own thing firmly
General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out when comprehensively judging the strategic opportunity period of my country's development, that crises and opportunities coexist, crises are organic, and crises can turn opportunities, opportunities are more strategic and malleable, challenges are more complex and overall, challenges are unprecedented, and respond well. Now, the opportunity is unprecedented.
Over the past few years, under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core, facing the unprecedented impact of the epidemic on my country's development and unprecedented in history, China has risen to the challenge and overcome difficulties.

Firmness, the courage to innovate is more solid.
At the moment when the epidemic temporarily blocked people's normal flow, we fully developed the digital economy, promoted the rapid development of new industries, new business forms and new models, and seized the opportunity of a new round of new technological revolution led by digital technology. Promoting the transformation of my country's development mode, the upgrading of economic structure, and the transformation of new and old kinetic energy, my country's industrial economy has shown new vitality.
When the impact of the epidemic is superimposed by some Western countries, which take the opportunity to "stuck" my country's scientific and technological fields and attempt to contain the expansion of my country's market, we will focus on expanding domestic demand as a strategic basis to promote high-level self-reliance and self-improvement in science and technology, based on the new stage of development, and comprehensively Accurately implement the new development concept, build a new development pattern with the domestic cycle as the main body and the domestic and international dual cycles to promote each other, deepen reform in an all-round way, open up to the outside world at a high level, make both breakthroughs, improve the system, and accelerate the construction of a unified national market. Solid development potential of the super-large domestic market.
At a time when the epidemic temporarily caused trouble to the national economy and people's lives, we insisted on solving the people's urgent and longing problems, with the people's heart as the heart, the world's interests as the benefit, and resolutely to break down all kinds of outdated ideas and systems that restrict development. Mechanism obstacles, to expand effective demand to drive employment, to expand effective investment to strengthen the foundation, make up for shortcomings, and cultivate new opportunities, constantly stimulate the enthusiasm, initiative and creativity of various market players and all people, and strive to promote the common prosperity of all people to take substantial steps Lay a solid foundation.
Looking at the future of China's economy, we can say with confidence that China's development has always been advancing in response to challenges, and the Chinese people have the courage, wisdom and strength to overcome any difficulties and obstacles.
China's economy will certainly be able to overcome the temporary difficulties in the forward movement, and will continue to grow steadily.
