Chinese Premier Li Qiang recently hosted a major symposium to hear fresh ideas on the government’s upcoming plans for 2025. The event gathered a diverse group of experts, entrepreneurs, and representatives from education, science, culture, health, and sports sectors.
Participants highlighted the significant progress China made last year but pointed out challenges ahead, especially with global uncertainties affecting development. They urged proactive strategies to tackle these hurdles and ensure steady growth.
Premier Li acknowledged these concerns, emphasizing that while there are difficulties, China’s strengths—like robust institutions, booming industries, and a talented workforce—remain solid. “Our long-term economic improvement remains on track,” he assured.
He called for more active fiscal policies and a slightly relaxed monetary approach to stimulate the economy. Li stressed the importance of closely monitoring global and domestic trends to adapt policies swiftly and effectively.
The Premier also underscored the need for deeper reforms and greater openness to the world. He encouraged a shift toward new growth drivers powered by scientific and technological innovation. Improving people’s livelihoods was highlighted as a top priority.
“I hope everyone here continues to work hard in your fields,” Li said, urging attendees to share insights on social issues and contribute valuable policy ideas. The draft work report has been distributed to various government departments for further suggestions.
