A press conference of the fresh Prime Minister Li Qiang was held at the end of the session of parliament.¹

Here are more interesting answers to journalists' questions:²

tasks of the fresh administration – will carry out the tasks set out by the XX legislature of the KPCH and Parliament and work with the people of the country to turn these large plans into reality step by step. The main task will be to direct the full effort of the organization and government to bring benefits to people. Objectively, the vast majority of average people do not see how much GDP grows all year, or alternatively care about circumstantial things around themselves, specified as housing, employment, income, education, treatment and the environment. The government's work is to realize what average people want to meet their expectations.
GDP of 2023 – achieving the planned 5% GDP growth will require doubling of efforts as the country faces many difficulties this year. These efforts will be concentrated in macroeconomic policies, expansion of demand, reforms, innovation and prevention and simplification of risks.
new administration philosophy – staff at all levels will be powerfully encouraged to go out to people, learn from people themselves what they need, what their plans are. Human resources must perceive to people and learn from people, actually aid the lowest levels of administration solve real problems. "As you sit in your office, you see only a increasing number of problems, you can go to people and see all the solutions."
development model – its most crucial features will be the promotion of advanced quality growth, the improvement of discipline and technology, occupation creation and support for agri-food production.
private companies – the position of the organization and order in this respect is clear. The environment for the improvement of private business must be improving and the space for its operation will increase. Companies will be treated equally regardless of the form of ownership.
foreign companies “China continues to be attractive to abroad investors and will open its economy to the world, regardless of changes in the global situation. China will keep moving on. China's doors will be beginning up more and more, the business environment will be improving and services will be of higher quality. Open China invites everyone to invest and conduct business.
conditions for achieving the objectives set – Another step in promoting modernisation in the Chinese style, in the historical process of achieving the goal of the second century, must be the implementation of reforms and wide openness to the world.
demographic situation – the demographic dividend depends not only on the full amount of labour, but besides on quality, population and talent. The Chinese demographic dividend did not disappear, as the number of well-educated Chinese gradually increases. Of course, we inactive request to carry out an in-depth analysis of the problems that origin the population to emergence or fall and actively address these problems.
food production – overall food safety is guaranteed. The Prime Minister assured "his farmers' friends" that all government-run measures to advance food production would be strengthened and expanded, with the government encouraging diversification of crops and farms. The government must warrant (supporting farmers) that more than 1.45 billion Chinese rice bowls will always be full.
relations with Taiwan – compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Straits are 1 family. We will proceed to advance trade and economical and cultural cooperation between the 2 sides on the basis of the rule of 1 China and to strive for peaceful unification within the 1 country, 2 systems.
The function of Hong Kong and Macau – The central government has always given large importance to the usage of the unique advantages and features of Hong Kong and Macau. Since his return to his homeland, with strong state support, Hong Kong's position as an global financial hub, the global center of trade and maritime transport has been constantly strengthened. Macau constantly enjoys a planet reputation as an global tourist and leisure centre. The function and position of Hong Kong and Macau will be consistently strengthened, their future must be and will be even better.
China-United States relations – Chinese-American cooperation has large possible and broad prospects for development. The economies of China and the United States benefit from their development. China and the United States can and should cooperate. Stopping and suppressing China is not beneficial to anyone.

The press conference did not give abroad journalists peculiar attention. They only asked 2 questions. The speech of the Prime Minister's message was of course general, Qiang frequently repeated Xi JinPing's thesis included in his closing speech of parliament sessions.
