Li Xiaolin, CPPCC member and CEO of China Power:

For both country and individual, confidence is the best way to tackle the emergency. Enterprises should take political, social and economic responsibilities during the ongoing global slowdown. I will submit four proposals this year, concerning coal, power, oil and new energy, and I hope the new energy law can be carried out immediately. I also hope that relevant departments can make a development plan and put more effort into saving energy and cutting emissions.

Deng Yaping, CPPCC member and Olympic champion:

We need more cohesiveness to fight against global economic recession and retain the enthusiasm we had for the Beijing Olympics. We can overcome all difficulties as long as people across the country work in unity.

Feng Jun, CPPCC member and CEO of Beijing Huaqi Information Digital Technology Co., Ltd:

Now it is the best time for SMEs to go global. People overseas can only choose cheap and durable commodities due to the global financial crisis. The "Made-in-China" commodity is what they need. Of course, we also need further improve our service and credit.

HO Hung San, CPPCC member and an entrepreneur in Macau:

We are fully confident in tackling the financial crisis, and we will take proactive measures.

Huang Jiwen, CPPCC member:

I am greatly concerned with the impact of the global slowdown on China. CPC Central Committee has come up with many economic stimulus packages and I hope to get more information during this year’s NPC and CPPCC sessions. The news will inspire people’s enthusiasm. With strong backing from central government, Hong Kong will continue to prosper despite the financial crisis.
