　　"We always regard private enterprises and private entrepreneurs as our own people, and support private enterprises when they encounter difficulties, and give guidance to private enterprises when they encounter confusion." During the first CPPCC National Congress after the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Communist Party of China Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the Central Committee, President of the State, and Chairman of the Central Military Commission, visited members of the Democratic National Construction Association and the Federation of Industry and Commerce, and participated in the joint group meeting.

　　Exchanging views face-to-face with members of the two sectors is more like a "heart-to-heart talk" with all private enterprises and private entrepreneurs. Xi Jinping once again emphasized "one of my own people", sincerely and comprehensively expressing his views on the private economy under the macro perspective of China's economic development positioning and expectations.

On March 6, Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, President of the State, and Chairman of the Central Military Commission, visited the members of the Democratic National Construction Association and the Federation of Industry and Commerce who participated in the first meeting of the 14th CPPCC National Committee, and participated in the joint group meeting to listen to opinions and suggestions.

　　In November 2018, when Xi Jinping presided over a symposium on private enterprises, he proposed that "the private economy is an internal element of my country's economic system, and private enterprises and private entrepreneurs are our own people."

　　In the past five years, in the face of the rapidly changing international environment and the impact of multiple unexpected factors including the new crown epidemic, the macro economy has been under pressure, which has been transmitted to some business entities with unstable expectations and lack of confidence in development.

In the field of public opinion, arguments such as "leave the field" and "the country advances and the people retreat" have also caused some ideological fluctuations.

　　There is an urgent need to clear up the fog and allow private enterprises and private entrepreneurs to develop boldly.

It is related to the practical implementation of the "two unshakables". Xi Jinping pointed out at the Central Economic Work Conference last year that "we must be clear and unambiguous."

　　Careful analysis reveals that since the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, China's top leaders have paid more attention to the equal treatment and common development of state-owned and private enterprises, and the "two unshakable" has frequently appeared in the deployment of economic work.

　　At present, China's international and domestic environment is undergoing profound and complex changes, with many and severe risks and challenges.

How to effectively help the private economy eliminate worries, let go of burdens, and boldly develop?

From the three "hearts" in Xi Jinping's speech on the 6th, it may be possible to see the truth.

On March 6, Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, President of the State, and Chairman of the Central Military Commission, visited the members of the Democratic National Construction Association and the Federation of Industry and Commerce who participated in the first meeting of the 14th CPPCC National Committee, and participated in the joint group meeting to listen to opinions and suggestions.

　　In the first year of the discussion with members of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, Xi Jinping once again emphasized "two unwavering", "three unchanged" and "two healthy", which greatly encouraged the private entrepreneurs present.

　　"From the system and law, the requirement for equal treatment of state-owned enterprises and private enterprises will be put down, encourage and support the development and growth of the private economy and private enterprises, and boost market expectations and confidence." Xi Jinping reiterated this request at the same time.

The previous Central Economic Work Conference has made targeted deployment in this regard.

For a period of time, many places in China have been launching relevant measures. Some financial media have sorted out the information released by the local two sessions in 2023 and pointed out that on the one hand, it is to establish and improve relevant systems to allow enterprises to invest with confidence; Let go of development.

　　--concentrate

　　The private economy represented by private enterprises and individual industrial and commercial households constitutes the basic employment market in China, and the contribution of the private economy to the Chinese economy continues to be stable.

　　To further stimulate the role of private enterprises in stabilizing employment and promoting income growth, Xi called on policy makers to take "more effective measures."

　　In 2016, when visiting members of the Democratic National Construction Association and the Federation of Industry and Commerce during the two sessions of the country, Xi Jinping proposed for the first time to build a pro-Qing government-business relationship, which aroused great repercussions.

Going back further, during the two sessions of the National People's Congress in 2013, Xi Jinping put forward the admonition that "'official' and 'business' exchanges must be done in a proper manner."

　　This year, he once again emphasized that "the establishment of pro-Qing political and business relations will be implemented in real terms."

Let the government and business deal with each other with rules to abide by and measurable measures, and effectively introduce a series of measures to allow enterprises to let go of their hands and feet, travel lightly, and concentrate on development.

　　"We must shoulder the social responsibility of promoting common prosperity." Whether it is a state-owned enterprise or a private enterprise, Xi Jinping has this expectation.

　　"Rich with responsibility, rich with righteousness, rich with love".

Xi Jinping's earnest message, private entrepreneurs should strengthen their family and country feelings, consciously practice the people-centered development idea, and enhance their sense of responsibility and mission to promote common prosperity after getting rich first.

　　High-quality development has put forward higher requirements for the development of the private economy. Changing the mode, adjusting the structure, turning the power, sticking to the main business and strengthening the industry will be the only way to promote its growth.

　　In 2020, when discussing the national affairs with members of the CPPCC National Committee, Xi Jinping once pointed out that the further development of private enterprises will still be carried out in "difficulties".

This time, he also bluntly stated that in the coming period, the risks and challenges we face will only increase and become more severe.

　　How can we be calm when we challenge the present?

In Xi Jinping's view, it is necessary to "be calm and calm, maintain concentration, strive for progress while maintaining stability, take active actions, unite as one, and dare to fight."

　　The strong wind knows the grass, and the road knows the horsepower.

China's private economy has grown from small to large, from weak to strong, and has never lacked the confidence and courage to face risks and challenges.

Xi Jinping's heartwarming words to private enterprises and private entrepreneurs this time will definitely promote the implementation of various measures, bringing the effect of vitalizing muscles and bones and acupuncture points for the development and growth of China's private economy.
