worked to create a new pattern of development, and focused on promoting
high-quality development. We deepened supply-side structural reform. We gave

full consideration to both domestic and international imperatives, coordinated our
response to the novel coronavirus disease (Covid-19) with economic and social
development, and placed equal emphasis on development and security. We
continued to ensure stability on the six key fronts and security in the six key areas,

and we strengthened macro regulation. In these ways, we effectively responded to

impacts from factors that went beyond our anticipation, ensured steady economic
performance, and sustained increases in the quality of development. We achieved
substantial progress in scientific and technological innovation, deepened reform
and opening up across the board, and made solid progress in building a Beautiful

China. Employment and prices were kept basically stable, food and energy
security and the people’s wellbeing were effectively guaranteed, and overall
economic and social stability were maintained. The 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics
and Paralympics were a great success. In short, we took solid steps forward on the
new journey to build China into a modern socialist country in all respects.

1. We remained committed to putting the people and their lives above all else and
achieved a major, decisive victory in our fight against Covid-19.
We adhered to a targeted and science-based approach in our Covid-19
response and improved and adjusted our response policies and measures as the

situation evolved. We formulated and put into practice the ninth editions of
containment protocols and diagnostic and therapeutic protocols, and we strictly
implemented requirements for prohibiting nine types of excessive response. We
won the great battle to protect Shanghai, withstanding the most challenging test
since the fight to protect Wuhan, and took swift and decisive steps to handle local

outbreaks. With these actions, we prevented highly virulent and fatal variants from
spreading widely and won precious time for securing victory in the fight against
Covid-19.
We made our routine epidemic prevention and control measures and

emergency response more precise and effective. We reinforced response measures
for key venues including schools, nursing homes, and child welfare institutions
and for major events and holidays and enhanced land border areas’ epidemic

investment, and expectations. The six areas refer to job security, basic living needs, operations of market

primary-level governments.
