The private economy is an important force driving economic and social development. The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China attaches great importance to the private economy and private enterprises, always treating them as its own people, and cheering and encouraging them.This makes us feel extremely excited and encouraged. The central government has issued the "Opinions on Promoting the Development and Growth of the Private Economy", which focuses on the high-quality development of the private economy and formulates a series of policy measures. This has an important incentive and guidance role for private enterprises to strengthen their confidence, take action lightly, and boldly develop.

The Opinion has a clear and in-depth understanding of the challenges and opportunities faced by the private economy and private enterprises, and the measures introduced are highly targeted, stabilizing everyone's expectations for achieving high-quality development. In the past two years, under the influence of the epidemic and other international and domestic environmental changes, some private enterprises have encountered significant difficulties and challenges, and their development expectations have been affected to a certain extent. On the basis of in-depth research, the Opinion provides institutionalized arrangements and clear guidance on the business environment, policy support, regulatory guidance, legal protection, and public opinion atmosphere that enterprises are concerned about. It implements the requirements of private enterprises to "use production factors equally, participate in market competition fairly, and receive equal legal protection" as practical policy measures, which strengthens everyone's confidence in becoming better and stronger enterprises.

The Opinions put forward comprehensive strategic requirements for the Internet industry, pointed out the development direction for the platform economy, and added our determination and motivation to continue to develop. Internet enterprises are an important part of the private economy. Platform economy plays an increasingly prominent role in enabling the real economy, promoting technological innovation and opening up the international market. At present, China's platform economy has entered a new stage of development, and the past development model is being reformed and reshaped. The value of expanding demand, innovative development, employment and entrepreneurship, and public services needs to be fully realized. The Opinion points out that "guiding the development of the platform economy towards openness, innovation, and empowerment, filling the gaps and weaknesses, and supporting platform enterprises to demonstrate their skills in creating employment, expanding consumption, and international competition.". The requirements of openness, innovation, and empowerment anchor the goal of high-quality development for platform enterprises. Focusing on these strategic directions, we will focus on development forces, adhere to the role of "connector", "toolbox" and "small assistant", promote consumer Internet business to continuously output new momentum to expand domestic demand, strengthen the innovation depth of industrial Internet business in the construction of modern industrial system, and unremittingly enhance the competitiveness of overseas business with the "digital craftsman spirit".

The Opinion has put forward earnest expectations for the high-quality development of private enterprises, further enhancing our sense of mission and responsibility to create value for users, industries, and society. The Opinion has put forward clear requirements for the reform and innovation of the private economy and the standardized and healthy development of private enterprises, from improving governance structure, enhancing technological innovation capabilities, accelerating digital transformation and technological transformation, to participating in major national strategies and fulfilling social responsibilities. This has aroused strong resonance in our hearts. In recent years, a large number of leading private enterprises have taken "exploring sustainable social value innovation" as the foundation of their entire business, placing the healthy and sustainable development of enterprises on the "trinity" of "user value, industrial value, and social value". In terms of technological innovation, we actively expand from product innovation to basic research, and vigorously invest in cutting-edge technology research and development; In terms of internal governance, we make every effort to reduce costs and increase efficiency, and scientifically improve management efficiency; In terms of fulfilling social responsibilities, we take common prosperity as our strategic guidance, vigorously support national basic scientific research, rural revitalization talent construction, public welfare and charity digitization, and actively engage in social undertakings such as elderly care, disability assistance, and public health. To implement the spirit of the Opinions, we will continue to strengthen independent innovation, deeply participate in the "integration of data and reality", and strive to play the leading role of leading enterprises in the Internet industry.

Currently, the wave of universal artificial intelligence is surging, and a new round of technological revolution is imminent. We are once again facing a major opportunity for industrial transformation. As a private technology enterprise, it shoulders an important responsibility to promote technological innovation and industrial development. We will take the release of the Opinion as an opportunity to firmly believe in moving forward, improve our internal skills, and work hard. We will focus on strengthening scientific and technological innovation, earnestly practice "technology for good", firmly promote "integration of data and practice", assist small and medium-sized enterprises in digital transformation, and demonstrate greater achievements in promoting growth, innovation, employment creation, and international competition.
