On March 5th, Shen Danyang, head of the drafting group of the Government Work Report and director of the State Council Research Office, said at a press conference organized by the State Council Information Office that highlighting people's livelihoods as the top priority is a distinctive feature of the Government Work Report in recent years. This year's Government Work Report places greater emphasis on safeguarding and improving people's livelihoods, with measures that address the concerns of the masses more directly. For example, it emphasizes that fiscal policies should focus more on supporting livelihoods, implementing plans to increase income for urban and rural residents, and increasing the proportion of government investments in people's livelihoods. These all reflect the development ideology of putting people at the center, and show a commitment to doing more practical and beneficial things for the people, guiding government work towards ensuring that the masses feel more tangible benefits.
