Li Keqiang's second economic open class: no choice but to reform

On the 10th, Premier Li Keqiang attended the 17th Academician Conference of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the 12th Academician Conference of the Chinese Academy of Engineering.

Li Keqiang was invited to report on the economic situation to the academicians of the "two houses". In an hour and a half, the Prime Minister concentrated on answering the three questions that the academicians are most concerned about: How do you view the current economic situation? How to achieve the main tasks of this year's economy and society? How to rely on innovation to achieve China's economic upgrading?

This is the second "economic open class" of Premier Li Keqiang for more than half a year. The first was a report on the economic situation he was invited to the 16th National Congress of the National Federation of Trade Unions in October last year.

Stabilizing speed, stabilizing employment, and stabilizing prices are actually a kind of "in"

In introducing the current economic situation, Li Keqiang spoke out a large group of data: from January to May, China's new employment population was 6 million, accounting for 60% of the annual target, of which the surveyed unemployment rates in March, April and May respectively 5.17%, 5.15%, 5.07%...

In this regard, he concluded that "China's economic operation is generally stable, and the main indicators are in a reasonable range": "Stable speed, stable employment, and stable prices. This kind of 'stable' is actually a kind of 'into'. At the same time, our industry There has been no small progress in structural adjustment."

When answering the first question, Li Keqiang blurted out all kinds of economic data.

For the first time, he mentioned the term “directed regulation”, which is in line with the “precision force” used in the innovation macro regulation last year.

What is the Chinese economy going to jump to the middle and high end? Rely on innovation

He used Han Xin’s “backwaters” to illustrate the determination to reform. "Everyone knows that Han Xin took the troops to fight, let the army back against the river, and eventually defeated the enemy. This is not only a deadly death, but also a 'self-defense', the greatest strength for everyone. Li Keqiang said firmly, "If China wants to develop, it must mobilize more people's enthusiasm and exert the creativity of thousands of people."

He told the academicians a real story: a foreign politician sold him a domestic plane and gave him a similar model of the aircraft as a gift. "I took the model and looked around. It turned out to be 'Made in China', made in China!" He said, "The model is made by us, but the plane is sold by them. You think about how many planes we want to build." Can the model change their plane? The more I think about it, the less cost-effective it is!"

"China's economy must jump to the mid-to-high end, rely on innovation? This is the fundamental way out for China's development." Li Keqiang said.

He said that "reliance on innovation to build an upgraded version of China's economy" must promote the Chinese economy to maintain medium- and high-speed growth in the process of innovation, and jump to the mid-to-high end; rely on innovation to achieve a steady pace of efficiency and efficiency in China's economy and build China's economy. Upgraded version. He emphasized: "Innovation not only refers to technological innovation, but also includes institutional innovation."

For the full release of creativity, we can only do this, there is no choice

When talking about how to achieve the tasks of economic and social development, Li Keqiang stressed that it is necessary to give play to the decisive role of the market in resource allocation and "make power to reform."

He listed many "weird images" in the current administrative examination and approval system: some approval items have been applied since no one has been established for 8 years; some industries have established various qualifications, such as "brand teachers", "quality teachers", and even so-called "International Business Professionals". Although there is no legal basis, in order to obtain these qualifications, you must first pay the money.

Li Keqiang said that the reform "will of course touch the interests, especially the vested interests." Now, managers have more responsibilities than doing good after-the-fact supervision.

"For the long-term development of China, in order to fully release the creativity of thousands of people, we can only do so, there is no choice!" Li Keqiang said.

[talent]

Respect talent, respect knowledge, and respect creativity

"You can't just give the scientific personnel the 'face' of honor, and not give them the 'lizi' with increased income." Li Keqiang said, "We must let the scientific research units take the lead in enjoying the right to dispose of scientific and technological achievements, so that the scientific and technological personnel can enjoy equity and options. Let their income rise to the middle and high end of society. It is necessary to prove to the whole society that science has not only intangible value but also tangible value!"

When talking about talent training, Li Keqiang said: "The talents can't be used. Many times it is not the reason of the talents themselves. Some of our leaders and managers must also reflect on their own perspectives!"

He praised the academicians of the "two houses" for their "implacement" contribution to China's development, and sincerely hopes that scientists will continue to provide "valuable opinions and suggestions" for national strategic decision-making. He promised to the white-haired "two houses" academicians of the audience: the state's financial investment in science and technology will only increase in the future. “To achieve innovation-driven development, the country must put respect for talent, respect for knowledge, and respect for creativity at an unprecedented height.”

Li Keqiang specifically mentioned that when watching the satellite launch, he noticed that most of the technicians at the launch site were only young people in their 30s and 40s. He said: "I am particularly pleased to see the older generation of space workers watching the young people in the first line with a gratifying eye. Our older generation of scientists are not only big but also high. I hope everyone will support more. Let young science and technology workers grow up as soon as possible."
