习近平：我承诺将坚定支持中国民营企业实现健康和高质量发展。目前民营企业面临的挑战是暂时的，可以克服的，我承诺进一步完善中国的法律框架和法律体系，以保障民营部门的增长。民营企业对中国GDP的贡献超过60%，城市就业贡献超过80%。 Yao Shujie：本次会议向中央政府发出了非常强烈的信号，特别是习近平主席及其政治局同事对民营企业的支持。民营企业已成为中国经济非常重要的驱动力，而且在生产、技术创新以及包括人工智能系统在内的新兴产业中，其驱动作用日益增强。房地产行业的放缓实际上为非房地产行业，特别是新兴产业和技术相关活动，如强大的技术和人工智能发展等，提供了一个绝佳的机会。支持民营企业是所有这些发展和解决国际冲突的关键。在过去四十年中，中国在将国有部门和私营经济结合起来，创造世界最大的经济奇迹方面取得了巨大进步。但在这一过程中，始终存在一些不平等，一些对私营部门，特别是中小微企业的不公平待遇。这意味着法律框架非常重要。私营部门首先应该在法律上得到承认，企业家和私营部门必须受到大力保护，而不是面临不确定性。在融资方面，大部分金融资源由国有银行和相关国有企业控制。法律体系必须加强。无论是私营部门还是公共部门，都必须受到政府和法律体系的保护。在执法方面，公共部门和私营部门之间不应有任何歧视。如果私营部门犯了一些错误或非法行为，那么他们应该以公平的方式受到起诉。
