CCTV:
Mr. Shen, as the head of the drafting group for this year's government work report, could you please introduce the key points and features of this year's report? Thank you.
Shen Danyang:
Thank you for your question. This year's government work report prominently embodies the comprehensive implementation of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era and the decisions and deployments of the Party Central Committee. From the very beginning of the drafting process, Premier Li Qiang made it clear that we must thoroughly study and implement the important speeches and instructions of General Secretary Xi Jinping, and strictly carry out the decisions and deployments of the Party Central Committee. The main content of the report, including the review and summary of last year's work, the overall requirements for the government's work this year, the main targets, macro policy orientations and major tasks, were all drafted in accordance with the guiding principles of General Secretary Xi Jinping's important speech at last year's Central Economic Work Conference. The drafting group earnestly studied and grasped the main principles of General Secretary Xi Jinping's latest important speeches and instructions and the latest meetings and documents of the Party Central Committee, and fully reflected them in the report. At the same time, a series of specific work measures were proposed in combination with the actual conditions of various fields, striving to refine and implement the decisions and deployments of the Party Central Committee to ensure their effective implementation.
This year's report particularly emphasizes high quality, reform, people's living standards, and strengthening confidence. It can be said that this year's report focuses on promoting high-quality development, deepening reform, prioritizing people's livelihoods, and boosting confidence. I will elaborate on these four aspects.
First, this year's report particularly emphasizes promoting high-quality development. The report stresses that to fulfill the goals and tasks for this year, we must thoroughly implement Xi Jinping Thought on the Economy and focus on the top priority of high-quality development. We must work to both improve the quality of growth and appropriately increase output. The report outlines the annual work plan and key tasks for 2025, focusing on building a high-level socialist market economy system, developing a modern industrial system, promoting comprehensive rural revitalization, fostering coordinated regional development, and advancing high-level opening up. It emphasizes the thorough integration of high-quality development requirements across all stages and aspects of economic and social progress.
Second, this year's report particularly emphasizes further deepening all-round reform. The report thoroughly implements the guiding principles of the third plenary session of the 20th CPC Central Committee and summarizes and arranges reform work. In addition to specific deployments to accelerate the implementation of landmark reform measures, such as effectively stimulating the vitality of various business entities, advancing the construction of a unified national market, and deepening the reform of the fiscal, tax and financial systems, reform tasks and requirements have also been put forward in areas such as consumption and investment, education and technology, work related to agriculture, rural areas and rural residents, ecological and environmental protection, and social undertakings. The term "reform" appears more than 40 times throughout the report, making it a particularly important keyword this year.
Third, this year's report particularly emphasizes reflecting on the principle of "people's livelihood as paramount." For example, in the section on main targets, it proposes that personal income should grow in line with economic growth. In the section on the correct policy orientation, it proposes pursuing people-oriented macro policies. In the section on key tasks, it also puts forward a series of practical measures of concern to the people to improve their well-being. This is intended to reflect that the government's work should always adhere to a people-centered approach, respond to the needs and concerns of the people in a timely and effective manner, and wholeheartedly address people's livelihood issues, ensuring that the people can live a good life.
Fourth, this year's report particularly emphasizes boosting confidence. As we all know, China continues to face a complex and challenging development landscape this year, with increasing uncertainties in the external environment. As the saying goes, as long as confidence remains intact, solutions will always outnumber difficulties. Whether outlining the overall requirements and policy orientations for economic and social development this year, or specifying government tasks and policy measures, the report takes a pragmatic, proactive and effective approach. It fully demonstrates our unwavering determination to drive sustained economic recovery and growth, while also reflecting a clear commitment to tackling challenges head-on and making meaningful progress.
That concludes my answer. Thank you.
