Different from Wang Yang's macro statement, Liu He, a member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Vice Premier of the State Council, combined with the issues and related concerns of public opinion, gave a more direct and specific commitment, "We must strive to adapt to the all-round changes brought about by the digital economy. , to fight the tough battle of key core technologies, support the sustainable and healthy development of the platform economy and the private economy, properly handle the relationship between the government and the market, support digital companies in the listing of domestic and foreign capital markets, promote competition through openness, and promote innovation through competition.”
Before this round of the epidemic, under the policies of anti-monopoly and preventing the disorderly expansion of capital, the platform economy froze. Although the original intention of the policy was to maintain fair competition and ensure equal development of enterprises of all types of ownership, domestic and foreign enterprises, this big stick After it came out, it had a negative effect that should not be underestimated, and to a certain extent stifled the innovation of the platform economy.
With the suspension of the listing of Ant Group, the one-pot event in the education and training industry, and the delisting of Didi, the concerns of the outside world about the future development of the private economy have been exacerbated.
Based on this background, what Liu He mentioned about "handling the relationship between the government and the market" is particularly important and attracting attention.
In front of the camera, he looks haggard and seems to convey the huge pressure of China's economic downturn in another way, as well as the severe challenge of "stabilizing expectations and confidence" in the future.

Another symposium was led by Li Keqiang, member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Premier of the State Council. On May 18, Li Keqiang presided over a symposium on stabilizing growth, stabilizing market players and ensuring employment.
Before the official announcement, there have been pictures, texts and short videos from the public opinion field.
Li Keqiang, who was inspecting various places in Yunnan, did not wear a mask throughout the whole process, and had close conversations with local farmers, college students, and workers. The questions he asked were also about basic livelihood issues such as food, employment, and living.
The news broadcast broadcast on the evening of the 18th released the news of Li Keqiang's discussions with the heads of 12 provincial governments in the eastern, central, western and northeastern regions.
Li Keqiang said at the symposium that since March, especially in April, some economic indicators have weakened significantly, and the downward pressure on the economy has further increased.
Based on this, "it is necessary to strengthen confidence, see that there are still more than 150 million market entities in China, the current price is stable, and there is still room for policy to deal with challenges, but also to face difficulties and deal with shocks. It is necessary to completely, accurately and fully implement the new development concept. , Efficiently coordinate epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development, act decisively, and increase macro policy adjustment.
The policies that have been issued must be put in place as soon as possible, and the policies determined by the Central Economic Work Conference and the government work report have been basically implemented in the first half of the year; With a sense of urgency, the new measures that can be seen can be exhausted, and all of them can be released in May, so as to ensure that the economy operates within a reasonable range in the first half of the year and the whole year, and strive to bring the economy back to the normal track quickly.”
Li Keqiang also said that reforms should be used to solve difficulties in the progress.
Emphasizing the priority of employment, ensuring employment and people's livelihood by stabilizing market players, implementing combined relief policies such as tax rebates and tax reductions, and guiding financial institutions to delay interest payment on loans to small, medium and micro enterprises and individual industrial and commercial households.
Ensure stable food production and stable energy supply.
While doing a good job in epidemic prevention and control, we will further unblock logistics arteries and microcirculation.

Taken together, Li Keqiang's speech highlighted two key words, one is "urgent" and the other is "steady".
"Urgent" is reflected in "effectively coordinating epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development", "the policies that have been introduced must be put in place as soon as possible", "the new measures that can be seen can be exhausted, and they can be released in May"; " Stability” is reflected in “giving priority to employment and ensuring employment and people’s livelihood by stabilizing market players”, “ensuring stable grain production and energy supply”, and “stabilizing land prices and housing prices”.
The reason why the high-level officials are "urgent" and "steady" is that the overall planning of epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development is obviously inefficient at the practical level, the implementation of policies is seriously inadequate, and employment and housing prices have also experienced obvious instability.
Especially in terms of balancing epidemic prevention and control with economic and social development, various regions are using "politics" to overwhelm "science", "rule of law", and "common sense" to varying degrees, so that although verbally they keep stressing that "trying to use the least amount of money" The price of the first is to maximize the effect of prevention and control, and to minimize the impact of the epidemic on economic and social development.” But in fact, all parts of China are still fighting the epidemic “at all costs.”
This is why at the Tsinghua PBC Chief Economist Forum held on May 14, Huang Yiping, Chair Professor and Deputy Dean of the National School of Development of Peking University, hurriedly exclaimed that "the economic situation has reached a time when a policy at all costs should be adopted", because " The economic situation is not good and very difficult.”
In the 1970s, China emerged from the quagmire of the ten-year Cultural Revolution and started reform and opening up. The achievements have not been easy. It has also experienced rapids and rapids, but the key to being able to withstand various risks is to maximize the Unite to look forward.
At present, under the dual pressure of the epidemic in the century and the changes of the century, the top leaders of the CCP are also trying their best to unite the people by stabilizing their expectations and confidence. Now on the expectations and confidence in the rulers.
If in the "people's war" of epidemic prevention and control, all localities cannot achieve accurate epidemic prevention, cannot avoid one-size-fits-all, layer-by-layer coding, and cannot move towards modernization and humanization, no matter how many measures to stabilize expectations and stabilize confidence, there will be no real unity. people.
And this is also the challenge of the CCP at present and for the next period of time.
