Experienced technicians in their 50s and 60s are treasures for enterprises. It would be such a waste of their skill and experience and a great loss for the enterprises if they retire early and just dance in the square. We hope the policy of postponing³ the retirement⁴ age could be issued as soon as possible. It will help ensure the skills of the experienced will be passed on to the next generation.

企业十分需要有经验和技术的员工，他们大都在五六十岁左右。一旦这些技术管理骨干退休，早早地到社会上逛大街或跳广场舞，对企业来说这是损失。我们建议相关部门对这部分人要尽快出台延迟退休政策，以保证企业技术的传承和经验的传授。

A lot of people think the government has a monopoly over the taxi industry, which is untrue. China has more than 8,000 taxi companies, 1.3 million taxis and 2.6 million taxi-related employees. There are also more than 130,000 self-employed taxi drivers. The taxi industry was one of the first industries on the open market, and a government monopoly doesn't exist.

很多人认为政府在垄断出租车行业，其实不存在。我们全国出租车130万辆，就业人数260万人，运营企业8000多个，同时还有13万个体户。其实出租车行业是开放比较早的行业，不存在政府垄断。
