面對經濟下行壓力加大態勢，我們保持戰略定力，穩定宏觀經濟政策，沒有采取短期強刺激措施，而是繼續創新宏觀調控思路和方式，實行定向調控，激活力、補短板、強實體。
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.

現在允許學生休學創業，這是好事，但我們應該采取理性的態度。我現在搞天使投資，每天接觸的大學生項目非常多，坦率地說，95%是沒有創新的。但這是正常現象，就算在美國，100個公司里也沒有多少公司有創新能力，其余的都是模仿拷貝。我們應該進一步挑選出真正的創新項目，用優惠政策給予支持。
"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".
