面对经济下行压力加大态势，我们保持战略定力，稳定宏观经济政策，没有采取短期强刺激措施，而是继续创新宏观调控思路和方式，实行定向调控，激活力、补短板、强实体。
In face of mounting downward economic pressure, we maintained strategic focus, and kept our macroeconomic policy unchanged. Instead of using short-term stimulus measures, we continued to develop new ideas and methods for macro regulation. We exercised targeted regulation, stimulated market activity, shored up our weak spots, and boosted the real economy.

现在允许学生休学创业，这是好事，但我们应该采取理性的态度。我现在搞天使投资，每天接触的大学生项目非常多，坦率地说，95%是没有创新的。但这是正常现象，就算在美国，100个公司里也没有多少公司有创新能力，其余的都是模仿拷贝。我们应该进一步挑选出真正的创新项目，用优惠政策给予支持。
"Students are allowed to suspend their courses to do business. I think that's good, but we must treat it rationally. As an angel investor, I'm invited to view graduates' startup projects every day. Speaking frankly, 95 percent of them are not innovative, just copycats, but that's normal, even in the United States. I think we should move forward by identifying really innovative projects and then supporting them with preferential policies".
