The COVID-19 epidemic may become more complicated and dangerous. World economic growth is forecasted to be uneven and uncertain, possibly lower than 2021; domestically, the experience, capability, and ability to cope with the epidemic will continue to be improved, but the resilience of enterprises and people has decreased. Aside from the achieved results, there are still limitations that we need to overcome in the socio-economic development. If we do not control the epidemic effectively, there will still be potential risks of slow economic recovery and growth deficiency. Natural disasters and climate change are becoming more and more complicated and unpredictable, with increasingly high impacts, etc.
