Translated paragraph context
CCTV.com News (Xinwen Lianbo): On November 13, the State Council held a national video conference on winter and spring farmland water conservancy and high-standard farmland development. Li Qiang, a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and premier of the State Council, recently issued important instructions on advancing farmland water conservancy and high-standard farmland development. The instructions noted that these efforts are important means of consolidating the foundations of national food security. In recent years, regions and relevant departments have continued to strengthen farmland development, playing a key role in consolidating and increasing overall grain production capacity and enhancing agriculture's ability to prevent and mitigate disasters. Guided by Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, efforts must thoroughly implement the CPC Central Committee's decisions and plans, prioritize quality, steadily advance high-standard farmland development and modernization of large and medium-sized irrigation districts, dredge farmland ditches and canals, promote water conservation and efficiency in agriculture, and further strengthen the foundations for agricultural disaster prevention and mitigation. Efforts must address prominent problems in high-standard farmland development, strictly supervise funds and manage projects, improve the system for supervising and inspecting construction quality, strengthen facility operation and maintenance, and fully realize comprehensive benefits, providing solid support for safeguarding the food security bottom line and accelerating the building of a strong agricultural country.

The meeting called for further improving the social assistance system.

View evidence

The meeting called for further improving the social assistance system.

Translated paragraph context
The meeting noted that social assistance is an important institutional arrangement that provides a safety net for people's basic livelihoods. The social assistance system must be further improved, with progress toward a system grounded in the rule of law, digital and intelligent technologies, standardized procedures and professional services, so that it can better ensure basic needs, prevent risks and promote development. Efforts must focus on weak links to effectively strengthen basic support for vulnerable groups, improve assistance measures for households just above the subsistence allowance threshold and households experiencing hardship due to unavoidable expenditures, strengthen dynamic monitoring and interdepartmental data sharing, and improve the mechanism of "a single point of acceptance and coordinated processing," striving to cover everyone eligible for support. The scope of social assistance must be actively expanded to meet new needs. With a focus on strengthening recipients' own motivation for development, development-oriented assistance measures such as employment support and work-relief programs must be effectively implemented. Service-based social assistance, including care and support, must be comprehensively advanced to continuously enhance the sense of gain among people in need.

It called for making full and effective use of all policy-based funds, disbursing all types of payments involving local-level authorities and enterprises in full and on time, and better realizing the effects of coordinated fiscal and financial policies in boosting domestic demand. Solid work must be done to stabilize employment, prevent risks and ensure people's livelihoods, with stronger employment services for key groups and employment support for graduates facing difficulties from households lifted out of poverty, households receiving subsistence allowances and households with no employed members. Workplace safety risks and hazards must be thoroughly and meticulously identified and addressed, and major and particularly serious accidents must be resolutely prevented. Efforts must continue to defuse risks in areas such as local government debt and small and medium-sized financial institutions. Mechanisms for stabilizing capital markets must be improved, the stock market's inherent stability strengthened, and the steady and healthy development of capital markets promoted. Efforts must be strengthened to ensure supplies, stabilize prices and assist people in need, accelerate recovery and reconstruction in disaster-affected areas, and effectively ensure the resettlement and basic living needs of those affected. Careful study must be given to the approach to economic work next year, coordination of policies across years must be strengthened, and the economy's continued improvement must be promoted.
