Attachment: Record of Premier Li Keqiang's answer to cultural issues:

Reporter of China Radio International and International Online Network: Hello, Prime Minister. We noticed that one of the topics at the last executive meeting of the State Council before the two sessions was to deploy and strengthen the protection of cultural relics. May I ask the Prime Minister, China is so big, has so many problems to solve, and the government's work is so busy. Is this issue so urgent? Thank you.

Li Keqiang: Thank you for your concern about the topics of the State Council executive meeting. Originally, your question could have been answered by our Secretary-General, but I personally agreed to discuss the issue of strengthening cultural relics protection. What I want to answer you is that when we protect cultural relics, we are actually promoting the development of cultural undertakings, nourishing the power of morality, inheriting our traditional excellent culture, and promoting coordinated economic and social development. Nowadays, there are many problems that everyone criticizes in the economic field, such as fraud, counterfeiting, and lack of integrity. These can also be found and prescribed from a cultural perspective. The market economy is an economy governed by law and should also be a moral economy. Developing culture can cultivate the power of morality. To promote modernization, we must not only create rich material wealth, but also provide the people with rich spiritual products through culture, and use the power of civilization and morality to win the respect of the world. Thank you.
