Xu Deqing, a visiting researcher in the Department of Electrical Engineering of Yale University:

　　I watched the live broadcast of the opening ceremony of the National People's Congress at Yale University and felt very excited. This year's Report on the Work of the Government was not very long but it was very pragmatic, especially in the area of people's livelihood, employment and economic development. The report didn't specify a target for full-year growth, which fully embodied the spirit of "seeking truth from facts".

　　The report conveyed warmth to the overseas Chinese: "China cares deeply about our overseas nationals, who serve as a crucial bridge linking China and the rest of the world. We will give play to the unique role of overseas Chinese nationals and their family members and relatives at home, and forge a stronger bond of attachment among all the sons and daughters of the Chinese nation. Together, we can create more remarkable achievements." As overseas Chinese who lived in a severely affected region, we were moved by the report.

　　The report showed China's goodwill to the world: "We will work for the signing of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership, and advance free trade negotiations with Japan and the Republic of Korea as well as other countries. We will work with the United States to implement the phase one China-US economic and trade agreement. "... These measures, I believe, demonstrate China's image as a responsible major country and its commitment to working with people around the world for common development and a human community with a shared future, have not only strengthened the confidence of the Chinese people at home and abroad, but also won the understanding and recognition of people around the world.

　　Wan Xuedong, President of the Association of Fellow Villagers of Anhui, Argentina:

　　After watching the live broadcast in Argentina, of the report on the work of the government delivered by Premier Li Keqiang, I was filled with emotions. China has effectively controlled the epidemic within a relatively short period of time and ensured the basic livelihood of its people. The sentence, "As a developing country with 1.4 billion people, it is only by overcoming enormous difficulties that China has been able to contain COVID-19 in such a short time" in the government work report, brought me mixed feelings. In the fight against COVID-19, the Chinese people at home and abroad have made concerted efforts and the Chinese nation has been closely united.

　　In the report on the work of the government, measures to stabilize enterprises, ensure employment, and increase farmers' income and agricultural harvests, have provided concrete policy support for getting rid of poverty and striving for a moderately prosperous society, thus demonstrating China's firm determination towards steady development. In today's changing world, dangers and opportunities coexist. The report noted, "We will open up to the world at a higher level and focus on quality in the joint pursuit of the Belt and Road Initiative." In keeping with the international trend and seizing the opportunities of the times, we will lay a solid foundation for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

　　Yang Dongdong, Chairman of the Australia-China Business Summit

　　I was deeply moved by the concern for overseas Chinese in this year's report on the work of the government. The report noted, "Through all these efforts, we, all the sons and daughters of the Chinese nation, have stood together in the most trying of times and built a Great Wall of solidarity against the epidemic." I felt the exact same experience. 

　　"China will continue to pursue peaceful development, and advance friendship and cooperation with other countries as it opens up wider to the rest of the world. China will remain an important force promoting world peace, stability, development, and prosperity." I strongly shared this view in the report. I hope this year's two sessions will be a window for the international community to learn about the real situation in China. The overseas Chinese and the Chinese media will work together to tell China's story and spread China's voice, so as to inject more confidence into the global fight against the epidemic.
