This year, spending on education will account for 4 percent of the GDP, input in agriculture and rural areas will increase by 186.8 billion yuan ($29.6 billion), more than 7 million low-income homes will be built, and the pension system for rural residents and for non-working urban residents will cover all the country. These figures and targets are inspiring. The report sets concrete targets in improving people's well-being and makes solemn commitments. The government work report illustrates again that people's well-being is the focus of the work of the government.

Further, this year's government work report has cited the following tasks in the list of focuses: fully introducing social insurance against uraemia and seven other major diseases and including lung cancer and 11 other major diseases in the pilot program to provide insurance and aid for their treatment. This indicates the government's more thoughtful care to people's well-being.

When illustrating the topic of ensuring and improving people's well-being, Premier Wen put increasing jobs as the top priority. We suggest when addressing the employment issues, the government should emphasize employment of vulnerable groups, including the physically challenged, women and ethnic minorities and ensure employment fairness.

China has formulated many policies and legal provisions to promote employment of vulnerable groups, but there are many problems in the actual implementation of these policies. I suggest that government agencies and public institutions take the lead in carrying out the legal provisions and offer more job opportunities to vulnerable groups.

There are many limitations on the physically challenged in the recruitment of civil servants. We do not require lowering the recruitment standards for the disabled, but employment discrimination should be eliminated among equally qualified candidates.

Besides the disabled, women are also discriminated when employed for the reasons of age, physical condition and even the ideas of the employers. Ethnic minorities in many remote areas are also facing job difficulty due to poor education and limited professional skills. The government should pay sufficient attention to them too.

The government work report says China will carry out an intense crackdown on violations of intellectual property rights and the manufacture and sale of counterfeit or substandard goods, enhance food safety oversight capability and raise the level of food security. I think food quality and security should be ensured by government efforts to support and encourage high-quality enterprises and crack down on producers and sellers of counterfeit or substandard goods. Access to food producers should be increased, and more aid should be offered to small enterprises so that they can devote more efforts to food security.

The government should firmly crack down on producers of counterfeit and substandard goods and grant fiscal and taxation incentives to those of high-quality products.

We should also firmly resist the behavior of dumping in low prices and disturbing the market order. The earliest producers of some daily products can ensure the product quality for high profits. But after a large number of producers enter the market, the fierce competition forces the producers to adopt a low-price strategy and their profits are reduced. Then problems of quality and safety have ensued because many enterprises are making shoddy products.
