The economic growth target for this year has been announced, ranging from 4.5% to 5%. How do we view this? The target is not just a prediction, but a means to guide and shape development, considering both the needs and possibilities. Why is it needed? "Maintaining a reasonable range" of growth is essential for healthy development. Why is it possible? By looking up at the sky and down at the road, we can see that this target aligns with our country's growth potential. Why a "range"? By implementing "range control," we can set a minimum growth threshold while also allowing room for upward flexibility, ensuring certainty for high-quality development. This also means that achieving this target is not easy and will require hard work. Setting goals is one thing, but taking action and having confidence is just as important. By utilizing development opportunities, potential, and advantages, we can focus on doing our own work well.
