Huang Shouhong:
We considered all these suggestions one by one, including those from netizens, to see if we could incorporate them either fully or partly. Even if we could not incorporate an entire suggestion, we still carefully examined each one, considering whether it contained reasonable elements and practical guidance at the operational level. Following the principle of incorporating as much as possible, we put forward our recommendations, which were submitted to the CPC Central Committee and the State Council for approval in accordance with the procedures and then written into the report. In the following days, we will continue to revise the report in accordance with the opinions of lawmakers and political advisors.
Second, the report integrates top-level plans with demands of grassroots communities. It combines the decisions and plans of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council with the demands and suggestions from all sectors of society, transforming them into specific task lists, blueprints and policy agendas for the government and its departments. As you know, the Central Economic Work Conference sets the overall tone, draws the big picture and outlines major policies, while enterprises and the public express their specific desires and demands. All of these need to be refined and translated into concrete policies and feasible measures. The report, after thorough research and deliberation, has formulated specific work tasks and policy measures, organically aligning the CPC Central Committee's decisions and plans with the wishes and demands of enterprises and the public.
The government work report covers a wide range of topics. Due to space limitations, we strived to condense the text while ensuring each sentence is carefully revised. We aimed to express richer content and meaning using concise language. Meanwhile, following Premier Li Qiang's instructions, we paid special attention to ensuring better connection between the government work report and the draft plan for national economic and social development as well as the draft budgets. The government work report primarily focuses on key points and summaries. It currently consists of 16,900 Chinese characters. The draft plan for national economic and social development and draft budgets, on the other hand, delve into specifics and details. The development plan report contains 58,900 Chinese characters, and the budget report contains 19,500 Chinese characters. These three reports complement each other, forming an organic whole. Therefore, when reading the government work report, it is essential to also consider the other two reports in order to gain a comprehensive understanding of the government's overall work arrangements this year.
Third, the report adheres to the principles of truthfulness, pragmatism and simplicity. Some journalists who were present for Premier Li Qiang's delivery of the report may have been deeply impressed by this aspect. This year's report follows the stylistic norms, aiming to be informative while also simple. When discussing last year's achievements, the focus is on presenting facts and data without embellishment. The report highlights the distinctive features of last year's work without attempting to cover every detail. In outlining this year's work, the emphasis has been placed on new arrangements and initiatives. For important tasks that require continuous progress and major strategies that require continuous implementation, concise summaries are provided. When introducing various policies and measures, the focus is on practical content — which is what the public are most interested in. The report strives to be targeted, proposing effective policies and measures that genuinely address the concerns of society. The language used aims for simplicity and clarity, to ensure that it can be understood by ordinary people.
