2019年CRI 中国将会坚持经济发展政策

The curtain came down on the annual National People's Congress session in Beijing with pronouncements made on some of the key outcomes of the gathering¹. Speaking on the economy, Premier² Li Keqiang said the country needs strong measures to counteract³ the downward pressure on growth. A growth target range of between 6-6.5 percent has been set for 2019, after the economy grew by 6.6 percent last year. Li Keqiang pointed⁴ out that the downward adjustment of the world's second largest economy was made against the backdrop of a slowing global economy.

"We encountered economic slowdown in the past few years and the measures we have taken is to boost the vitality⁵ of the market because when we have more vitality in the market, there will be stronger dynamism for development."

He also stressed the government's focus on preventing large-scale job losses, projecting the economy to create between 11 and 13 million jobs this year. He said the tax and fee-cut measures under the fiscal⁶ policy, as well as cutting real interest rates are all measures designed to ensure employment in the country.

"Therefore, this year, for the first time, we list the job-first policy as a macro-policy together with our fiscal policy and monetary⁷ policy."

In response to accusations⁸ that China uses its tech companies to spy on other countries, Li Keqiang made it clear that Beijing would never engage in such activities.

"It is not in compliance⁹ with Chinese laws, and it is not how China behaves. We don't do that and will not do it in the future for sure."

On the ongoing¹⁰ China-US trade talks, Li Keqiang expressed hope that positive outcomes that are of benefit to both sides and the world will emerge from the ongoing consultations¹¹.

"China and the United States, as two large economies, have become closely entwined through years of a growing relationship and years of cooperation. It is neither realistic nor possible to decouple these two economies. I believe we need to continue to follow the principles of cooperation before confrontation¹², mutual¹³ respect, equality and mutual benefit to continue to grow the China-US relationship, including their economic and trade ties."

在今年的全国人大会议闭幕式上，政府公布了一些重要成果。在经济方面，李克强总理表示，国家需要采取强有力的措施来面对经济下行压力。去年经济增长6.6%，2019年经济增长预期6%-6.5%。李克强指出，这次下调是由于全球经济发展放缓。

“前些年，我们也遇到下行压力，我们采取的就是激发市场活力的措施，因为市场活力增强了，发展的动力必然增强。”

他同时强调，政府的工作重点是防止大规模失业，今年要确保新增就业人数1100万-1300万。他表示，财政政策不管是减税、还是降低实际利率水平，在很大程度上都是围绕着就业来进行的。

“所以，我们把就业优先的政策首次和财政政策、货币政策并列为宏观政策。”

在驳斥中国利用科技企业对其他国家进行间谍活动的说法时，李克强表示，中国政府永远不会参与这种活动。

“这样做不符合中国法律，也不是中国行事的方法，现在不会有，将来也决不会有。”

在提及正在进行的中美贸易谈判时，李克强总理希望双方能取得积极成果，能惠及中美两国及世界。

“中美作为两大经济体，经过几十年来的发展、合作，可以说已是你中有我、我中有你，想人为地把这两大经济体隔开，那是不现实的，也是不可能的。我们还是应该本着合作比对抗好，相互尊重、平等互利这个原则去推动中美关系，包括经贸关系的发展。”
