"Generally speaking, this decade is the decade in which China’s health and wellness undertakings have made the greatest progress and the people’s sense of health has been continuously enhanced. The average life expectancy has increased from 74.8 years to 78.2 years, which is a historic leap. The main health indicators are in the forefront of middle-and high-income countries. " Li Bin, deputy director of the National Health and Wellness Commission, said.
The "first question" opportunity of each press conference is the focus of various media. Reporters from Nandu learned that CCTV won 17 "first questions" at the series press conference of "China this decade", and it was the first media to ask the most questions.
From the overall situation of the press conference, the central media, local media, industry media and foreign media all got the opportunity to ask questions. It is worth mentioning that Southern Metropolis Daily got 22 questions at the special conference of "Ten Years in China", and asked the NPC, Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, the Taiwan Affairs Office of the Central Committee, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Finance, State Taxation Administration of The People’s Republic of China, the State Administration of Market Supervision, the Ministry of Public Security, the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Supreme Law, the Supreme People’s Procuratorate, the Internet Office, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, etc.
For example, on September 15th, at the press conference on the theme of "This Decade in China" held in Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China, Minister of Ecology and Environment Huang Runqiu answered Nandu’s question with a map of the night sky of the Forbidden City and mentioned that "blue sky and white clouds are no longer a luxury in Beijing", which became a hot topic in the environmental field that day. When introducing China’s air pollution control measures, he said that the number of days of heavy pollution in Beijing has also dropped from 58 days in 2013 to 8 days last year, and only 2 days so far this year.
At the same time, some press conferences are highly compatible with the areas of concern of the industry media, and they will also get some opportunities to ask questions. For example, China Development and Reform Newspaper, which is in charge of the National Development and Reform Commission, got the first question at the press conference of "Implementing the new development concept completely, accurately and comprehensively to promote high-quality development" attended by several officials of the National Development and Reform Commission. This issue focuses on whether the GDP growth target of about 5.5% can be achieved this year, and how to make good use of the policy toolbox to effectively stabilize the economic market.
Ou Hong, deputy secretary-general of the National Development and Reform Commission, said that in order to cope with the more complicated and difficult situation, starting from solving the dilemma and difficult problems, the policy reserve toolbox will be normalized, enriched and improved, and will be introduced in a timely manner according to the situation. "More importantly, we must see that China’s economy has good resilience, sufficient potential and large room for maneuver. We are fully confident to overcome the difficult challenges in economic operation and have the ability to cope with all kinds of unexpected changes that may occur to ensure stable, healthy and sustainable economic development."
On September 20th, Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China held a series of press conferences on the theme of "Ten Years in China" to introduce the successful practice of "one country, two systems" in Hong Kong and Macao since the 18th CPC National Congress. A reporter from Bloomberg News asked questions. According to Guoxin. com
Facing sensitive hot issues, many foreign media became "frequent visitors" at the press conference.
In addition to the domestic media, foreign media have also become "frequent visitors" at the conference of "Ten Years in China", and some high-profile press conferences have been packed half an hour before the launch. Among them, Reuters, Bloomberg, Lianhe Zaobao, Kyodo News, etc. are more involved foreign media.
For example, both Bloomberg and Reuters have asked questions about the achievements of building a network power in the new era. Bloomberg asked, how many applications did the Internet Information Office receive to go public abroad, and how did the review proceed? Reuters asked, in order to promote the construction of a network power, what important adjustments and regulatory improvements will the relevant departments make in the platform review?
On the first question, Sun Weimin, director of the Network Security Coordination Bureau of the Central Network Information Office, said that according to the "Network Security Review Measures", the review of online platform operators going abroad will focus on assessing the core data, important data or a large number of personal information that may be brought about by the listing of enterprises. The risk of being stolen, leaked, damaged, illegally used and illegally left the country; The risk of key information infrastructure, core data, important data or a large amount of personal information being influenced, controlled or maliciously used by foreign governments, and the risk of network information security. "We always support domestic enterprises to make rational use of overseas capital markets for financing development according to laws and regulations." She said.
On the second question, Niu Yibing, deputy director and spokesperson of the Central Network Information Office (National Network Information Office), said that it will persist in promoting the parallel development and regulatory norms, giving equal attention to policy guidance and management according to law, and paying equal attention to social and economic benefits, exploring innovative regulatory standards and models, strengthening corporate network security, building pro-Qing political and business relations, safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of Internet companies and entrepreneurs in accordance with the law, and effectively creating a strong atmosphere of being healthy and enterprising.
As can be seen from the media’s questions mentioned above, these 36 press conferences not only introduce the progress and achievements, but also are platforms for publicly responding to the current hot topics, including many sensitive issues.
For example, at the conference of "Diplomatic Work in the New Era", Reuters asked: China diplomats have shown the spirit of struggle when dealing with other countries. Some people are worried that bilateral relations will be affected. Will China’s diplomacy continue to struggle in the next five years?
Ma Zhaoxu, Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs explained that the diplomatic struggle is aimed at words and deeds that harm China’s national interests and national dignity, safeguarding its own legitimate rights and interests, opposing hegemonism and bullying, and upholding international fairness and justice. "On the way forward, China’s diplomacy will continue to advance bravely and bravely, and always be a loyal guardian of the interests of the country and the people."
During the conference of "Achievements in Water Conservancy Development since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China", it coincided with a serious drought in the Yangtze River Basin. In response, Yao Wenguang, director of the Department of Flood and Drought Disaster Prevention of the Ministry of Water Resources, introduced the emergency water dispatching scheme in the Yangtze River basin, the latest dispatching situation and the beneficiaries. He also said that through the comprehensive use of engineering and non-engineering measures, many major floods and severe droughts have been successfully overcome. Compared with the last decade, the average annual loss rate of flood disasters in China decreased from 0.57% to 0.31% in the last decade, which effectively guaranteed the safety of people’s lives and property, water supply and food, and ensured the stable operation of the economy and society.
At the press conference of "The Effectiveness of Public Security Organs in Promoting the Construction of a Higher Level of Safe China", some media asked about the national special campaign to crack down on the crime of abducting and selling women and children launched in March this year. Liu Zhongyi, director of the Criminal Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security, said that by the time of the press conference, 906 cases of abducting and selling women and children had been cracked, 1,198 missing and abducted women and children had been recovered over the years, and 1,069 suspects had been arrested. The action had achieved initial results.
"The reform and development of the financial sector since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China" has responded to the operational risks of small and medium-sized banks in Henan. Xiao Yuanqi, vice chairman of the Bank of China Insurance Regulatory Commission, said that in the past five years, the cumulative disposal of non-performing loans of small and medium-sized banks was 5.3 trillion yuan. "This effort is very great."
"On the whole, the operation of small and medium-sized banks in China is stable and the development is healthy. Although there are still some problems, especially the risks of individual institutions are relatively high, and some are also suspected of violating laws and crimes, on the whole, the risks are completely controllable. The legitimate rights and interests of the majority of financial consumers are protected according to law, and the financial regulatory authorities will spare no effort to do related work." He said.
Many times focused on introducing the political system and letting the outside world understand China for ten years.
In the series of 36 press conferences on "China this decade", several times focused on introducing China’s political system and its construction.
A reporter once asked questions, and the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China made it clear that if you can’t pass the Internet, you can’t pass the long-term ruling. Why?
Sun Yeli, deputy director of the Central Propaganda Department, explained that in recent years, great efforts have been made in learning, knowing and using the Internet, and great progress has been made. He said that if a political party wants to be in power for a long time, it must constantly improve its ability to govern the country and continuously promote the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity. The modernization of network governance will also effectively promote the modernization of the governance system and governance capacity.
The conference "The Development and Achievements of Upholding and Perfecting the Multi-party Cooperation and Political Consultation System Led by the Communist Party of China (CPC) in the New Era" introduced in detail the role played by Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference in China’s political life. The press conference reviewed the work of the CPPCC in the past ten years, and focused on issues such as democratic supervision, proposal work, members’ performance of duties, the employment of non-party members, people’s democracy in the whole process, and the new political party system in China.
Statistics show that over the past decade, Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference has received more than 58,000 proposals, and more than 47,000 have been put on file after examination. Zhang Jingan, deputy director of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference Proposal Committee, said in response to a question from Nandu that the proposal work is an overall, comprehensive and regular work of the CPPCC and one of the most important ways for the CPPCC to perform its functions. He said that after the above-mentioned proposals were carefully handled, a large number of opinions and suggestions were adopted and turned into policy measures to promote economic and social development, which provided an important reference for the scientific and democratic decision-making of the party and the government.
