我们应该积极促进结构性改革,特别是供给侧改革。中国经济发展面临结构性的矛盾,供给和需求两侧都有,主要在供给侧,我们要用改革的办法推进结构调整,减少无效和低端的供给,扩大有效和中高端的供给,这既有利于经济转型,也有利于促进经济增长。
其中重要的方面就是要淘汰严重过剩的产能,重点是抓好钢铁、煤炭等困难行业去产能,近年来已经取得些许成就,生煤和生铁产量下降,但还要进一步减少,主要是运用市场化和法治化手段,严格环保、质量、安全等标准。
去产能最大的难题是人往哪里去,企业要采取多种措施使职工转岗不下岗,中央和地方政府都要对职工分流安置给予必要的支持。产能过剩是一个全球性的问题,我们将主动采取行动去产能,这本身就表明中国是负责任的大国。

We need to advance structural reform, in particular that on the supply side. The structural problems facing the Chinese economy are about both the supply and demand sides, especially the supply side. We need to advance structural adjustment through reform, reduce inefficient and low-end supply, and expand effective and medium-to high-end supply. This is conducive to economic transformation as well as growth.
A major task for us is to phase out outdated production capacity and address overcapacity, especially in steel, coal and other sectors that face difficulty in operation. Initial progress has been made in recent years, as is shown in the lowering production of raw coal and crude steel, but our efforts must well continue. We will adopt a market-based and rules-based approach and apply strict standards in environmental protection, quality and safety.
The biggest challenge is how to address possible layoffs in this process. Businesses need to take multiple measures to ensure that their employees will get reemployed. Both the central and local governments should provide necessary support to take care of the affected employees. Overcapacity is a global challenge. The fact that we have taken the initiative to cut overcapacity demonstrates that China is indeed a responsible country.
