Listen to the full version
- China aims for about 5% economic growth in 2024, supported by improved economic environment, unleashing domestic demand potential, and favorable macroeconomic policies. Challenges include insufficient effective demand, weak social expectations, and various risks.
- Key reforms for enhancing internal demand, optimizing structure, boosting confidence, ensuring livelihoods, and mitigating risks include improving long-term mechanisms for expanding domestic demand, accelerating the construction of a unified national market, implementing 'two unwaverings' systems for state-owned and private enterprises, and advancing scientific innovation and financial reforms.
- Innovations are crucial for high-quality development; however, China's innovation capability faces challenges such as an unsuitable talent cultivation system, inadequate incentive mechanisms in research institutions, the limited role of enterprises in innovation, an unfit financial system for innovation funding, and micro-mechanisms that do not support innovation.
