The "Two Sessions" in China cover a wide range of important areas that are of great significance for people to watch:
I. Economic development
1. Growth targets and economic restructuring
The setting of GDP growth targets is crucial. It reflects China's overall economic ambition and the balance between development speed and quality. In recent years, China has been gradually shifting from emphasizing high speed growth to high quality development. For example, promoting the development of emerging industries such as high tech manufacturing, digital economy, and green industries while optimizing traditional industries.
Policies related to supply side structural reform may continue to be adjusted and deepened. This includes measures to reduce overcapacity in some industries, improve the quality of supply in the market, and promote innovation driven development in enterprises.
2. Fiscal and monetary policies
Fiscal policy may focus on areas such as infrastructure investment, support for small and medium sized enterprises, and poverty alleviation. For instance, increasing investment in new infrastructure projects like 5G base stations, high speed railways, and urban rail transit can not only boost short term economic growth but also lay the foundation for long term development.
Monetary policy may be adjusted according to economic conditions. Interest rate adjustments, reserve requirement ratio changes, and credit support policies for different sectors are all aspects worthy of attention. In particular, how to guide financial institutions to better support the real economy, especially small and micro enterprises with financing difficulties.
II. Social民生 issues
1. Employment
With a large number of college graduates entering the job market every year and the need to re employ laid off workers in some industries, employment promoting policies are always in the spotlight. This includes measures such as vocational training subsidies, encouraging entrepreneurship to create more job opportunities, and promoting the development of emerging employment forms such as the gig economy.
2. Education
Education reform is an important topic. This includes promoting the balanced development of compulsory education, improving the quality of higher education, and strengthening vocational education. For example, issues such as promoting educational equity in rural and remote areas, and promoting the integration of production and education in vocational education are of great concern.
3. Medical and health care
The construction of the public health system has become more prominent after the experience of the COVID 19 epidemic. This includes strengthening the construction of primary medical and health institutions, improving the medical insurance system to cover more people and diseases, and promoting the development of the pharmaceutical industry, especially the research and development and production of vaccines and essential drugs.
III. Environmental protection and sustainable development
1. Carbon peaking and carbon neutrality
China has made commitments to carbon peaking and carbon neutrality. The "Two Sessions" may introduce more policies and measures to promote the transformation of the energy structure, such as increasing investment in renewable energy sources like solar, wind, and hydro power, and promoting energy saving and emission reduction in industries.
2. Ecological protection
Strengthening the protection of key ecosystems such as forests, wetlands, and grasslands. For example, policies on forest protection and restoration, wetland conservation, and prevention of desertification are important aspects. This is also related to promoting ecological economic development models such as ecological compensation and ecological tourism.
IV. Technological innovation
1. Support for scientific research
Increasing investment in basic scientific research, improving the scientific research evaluation system, and promoting the transformation of scientific research achievements are important areas. This can encourage more scientific researchers to engage in frontier scientific research and promote the application of scientific and technological achievements in enterprises.
2. Development of emerging technologies
Policies to support the development of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, and biotechnology are also expected. For example, promoting the application of artificial intelligence in various industries, formulating regulatory policies for blockchain technology to ensure its healthy development, and promoting the innovation and industrialization of biotechnology in the fields of medicine and agriculture.
