      Now flexible employment is on the rise in China, involving more than 200 million people. Some people work several jobs by themselves, which is very hard. Social security subsidies should be given to these people, especially the possible occupational injury problems should be solved by systematic methods, and basic rights and interests protection should also be provided.


 

      We say 6% or more, but 6% is not low. Now our total economy has reached RMB100 trillion, and an increase of 6% means RMB6 trillion. It is important to guide our expectations to consolidate the foundation of economic recovery and growth, promote high-quality development, and maintain sustainability. In particular, it should be linked with the goals of next year and the following year, without causing big ups and downs.


 

      This year, we will expand the scope of cross provincial direct reimbursement of outpatient expenses. By the end of next year, each county should set up a designated medical facility, which can directly reimburse medical expenses including outpatient expenses, solving these troubles of elderly people. 


 

      Innovation still depends on the power of the market. Enterprises are the main body of innovation. During the fourteenth Five-year Plan, the government will continue to increase investment in science and technology, and at the same time, it will rely more on social forces to increase investment in R&D. Therefore, it is important to increase investment in R&D under the scope of "the whole society".


      To change the functions of the government, it is important to give market entities the right to play. For the examination and approval process, it is a must to continue to reduce links, materials, costs and time limits. On the one hand, it is necessary to lighten the burden of the market entities. On the other hand, it is advisable to let them compete freely.


      We support the new formats of “Internet+” and Internet of Things. However, we must resolutely crack down on those who cheat, abduct, falsify or break faith, or take advantage of new business forms to engage in fraud or illegal fund-raising.


      This year, it is important to make up our mind to increase the investment in the training of county and township teachers, so that they can conveniently improve their academic qualifications. What’s more, a preferential policy in the evaluation of professional titles for these people is a must.


      For the children of migrant workers in the cities, as long as they get the residence permit, they must have the opportunity to receive education. Children cannot be lost on the starting line because of their different family conditions and residence.
