The GDP growth target of over 8% is no longer a "high target" if we make good use of the opportunities: Administrative restructuring - strategic trade relations - effective public investment - digital economy - dynamic private sector - innovative institutions. In addition, we need to have a breakthrough in thinking and drastic actions for comprehensive development.

Summer, help children avoid technology "traps"

Summer vacation should be a time for children to recharge, develop skills and live fully in real-life experiences, but for many families, this is the most "exhausting" period of the year. The reason is not only because of the disruption of family life, but more deeply, the worry that children are increasingly sinking deeper into the online world, a place that seems to be only for entertainment but secretly leads to many unpredictable consequences.
