Reference Message Network reported on April 30 that according to a report by CNBC website on April 28, Chinese officials announced plans aimed at stabilizing employment and helping export enterprises on the 28th.
Measures in areas such as supporting employment and entrepreneurship, increasing vocational skills training efforts, and building a skill-oriented salary distribution system were introduced at a press conference held on the same day.
Sheng Qiu-ping, vice minister of China's Ministry of Commerce, said that trade finance support would be strengthened to give foreign trade enterprises "more confidence to take orders."
He also stated that recently, the Ministry of Commerce had coordinated with relevant departments to introduce a series of policies to help foreign trade enterprises expand domestic sales.
Zhao Chen-xing, deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission, expressed full confidence in achieving this year's socio-economic development goals and stated that timely incremental reserve policies would be introduced according to changes in the situation.
He emphasized that in the next step, efforts will be made to further promote special actions to boost consumption and accelerate the establishment of a national venture capital guidance fund.
The report noted that since the end of September last year, Beijing has increased its support for the economy. In the first quarter of this year, China's GDP grew by 5.4%, exceeding expectations.
According to a report by the Financial Times website on April 28, Zhao Chen-xing, deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission, stated at a press conference on the 28th that even without purchasing American feed grains and oilseeds, it would have no impact on China's grain supply.
He also pointed out that reducing or even stopping self-imported energy from the United States has no impact on China's domestic energy supply.
The report mentioned that losing the Chinese market would deal a heavy blow to American farmers, who exported $30 billion worth of agricultural products to China in 2023. The U.S. also exported about $15 billion worth of crude oil, natural gas, and coal to China.
It is expected that Brazil and Argentina will export more goods to China. In recent years, the U.S.'s share of China's grain imports has plummeted, while Brazil has seen significant growth.
Despite mentioning increased external shocks, Zhao Chen-xing expressed full confidence in achieving this year's socio-economic development goals.
In addition, according to the Singapore Straits Times website on April 28, Chinese officials promised to roll out more measures to stabilize employment and the economy in the coming months and reiterated their "full confidence" in achieving this year's socio-economic development goals.
On the 28th, relevant officials from the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, the Ministry of Commerce, and the People's Bank of China jointly attended a press conference to introduce the "measures for stabilizing employment and the economy and promoting high-quality development."
Zhao Chen-xing, deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission, stated at the press conference that China has abundant policy reserves and ample policy space, will fully prepare contingency plans, continuously improve the policy toolbox for stabilizing employment and the economy, and promptly introduce incremental reserve policies according to changes in the situation.
He introduced that several measures will be taken in five aspects: supporting employment, stabilizing foreign trade development, promoting consumption, actively expanding effective investment, and creating a stable development environment. These measures will be released when they are matured and ready for implementation. (Translated by Wang Dong-dong and Lin Chao-hui)
