Increasing revenue has become the top priority for the government

At this year's National People's Congress (NPC) press conference, a reporter stood out by repeatedly raising his hand to ask questions. He inquired whether the government should include people's income indicators in the agenda for review. Unfortunately, he was not allowed to speak. However, no one expected that just a day later, Premier Wen Jiabao would address the issue of workers' wages for the first time in the government work report. In his speech, Premier Wen emphasized the importance of increasing the income of urban and rural residents. He called for local governments to reasonably adjust and strictly implement the minimum wage system, as well as to establish and enforce a minimum hourly wage standard. This marked a significant shift from previous years, where economic growth targets dominated the agenda. This year’s focus on wages and workers’ rights was unprecedented and caught many by surprise. The change in emphasis reflects a broader shift in the government's priorities. Chairman Mao once famously said, “Serve the people,” which has long been the ideal of public service. Yet, for many years, the public felt that the government had strayed from this principle. During the planned economy era, the government focused heavily on administrative control, often leading to excessive regulation. After the reform and opening-up, the focus shifted toward economic development, with local governments prioritizing business growth and investment. While GDP soared, social welfare systems lagged behind. Education and healthcare, for example, failed to match the high welfare standards of capitalist nations or the public-funded models of socialist states like Cuba or North Korea. Meanwhile, concerns over pensions and rising living costs have become more pressing. Wu Ruilin, vice governor of Jiangsu Province, recently criticized companies for consistently boosting profits while keeping wages stagnant. Many workers reported years of no raises, with some industries paying as little as 4% of company costs in wages. Despite these challenges, successive governments have aimed to achieve great things, often focusing on global recognition through economic achievements. However, the people have always wanted something simpler: an improvement in their daily lives and living conditions. Now, for the first time, the government is addressing these concerns directly. Premier Wen Jiabao also highlighted the need to transition economic and social development toward a human-centered approach, emphasizing sustainability, coordination, and inclusiveness. He pledged to tackle the most pressing issues facing the public—employment, social security, healthcare, and safety. His five-year vision for a more harmonious society has sparked hope among citizens. Wen Jiabao is known for delivering on his promises. Two years ago, he vowed to abolish the agricultural tax within two years—and he did. This gives people confidence that his current commitments will also be fulfilled. As we look forward to the changes ahead, we can begin to see real improvements in our everyday lives. Let’s watch with optimism and hope for the future.
