Zhang’s economic view have been widely accepted concern.

Zhang Monan pointed out in her published article that the problem of RMB exchange rate is not the issue of price at all, but the issue of pricing power. With the two quantitative easing policies of the United States, a large number of US dollar funds continue to flow into China, which leads to the passive investment of RMB base currency. The data shows that the new money supplied by the central bank put into the market, the amount due to the increase of foreign exchange reserves accounts for more than 80% of the weight.

From this point of view, the increase of China's US dollar reserves has determined the amount of new money put in by the central bank, and the issuance right of US currency has seriously affected the issuance autonomy of RMB. Therefore, the pricing power of Chinese Yuan is determined by ourselves. To strengthen the flexibility of RMB, to speed up the reform of RMB exchange rate formation mechanism, to reform the mode of foreign exchange account hedge, and to safeguard the currency sovereignty of RMB are the main directions that China must adhere to.

Marketization reform is the leader of system dividend.

From the proposal of the "reform and opening up" strategy in 1978 to the restart of reform and opening up after Deng Xiaoping's South tour in 1992, these two reforms and opening-up enabled China to develop from a backward economy accounting for less than 2% of the total global economy to the second largest economy accounting for 10.5% of the total global economy, and from a "follower" to a "leader", which is the biggest impact of reform and opening-up on China Benefits.

The most prominent is the housing commercialization reform. In China, real estate represents the distribution of land GDP and its wealth. Because the land property right is realized through the layers of entrustment and hierarchical agent in the land market, the long agent chain and the internal responsibilities and rights of each agent are unclear.

Under the control of administrative power, the price of land supply is rising, the price of residential buildings is also rising, which forms the reverse distribution effect of land income - the low-income class is blocked outside the housing market, and the cost of housing for the middle-income class is increasing. Local governments get a lot of land transfer fees, real estate developers earn excess profits, the main body of land income distribution is seriously misplaced, resulting in resource mismatch, accelerating the polarization of social wealth distribution.

Real estate reform is connected with economy and people's livelihood, government and society. In order to reach the real estate market contradiction in China, we must solve the problem of land finance and form a comprehensive and systematic public policy of the real estate market, which will inevitably involve the readjustment of interests such as land policy, fiscal and tax policy, safeguard policy, financial policy and the redistribution of resources, and it is difficult to achieve the reform without stock. Therefore, China must identify several core areas to seek breakthroughs.

China is facing a huge pension "deficit" problem. How to fill this gap, establish a sustainable pension security system, and effectively prevent debt risk has become a major strategic issue in front of China.

China's pension system arrangement needs to be consistent with the national conditions of "old before rich". To solve the problem of providing for the aged in China at a lower income level, we should not only consider the challenge of aging population to the current pension security system, but also consider how to do according to our ability to prevent the impact on long-term growth.

Therefore, we need to evaluate the reform of China's pension security system from the perspective of sustainability, combine the trend of population aging and the prospect of economic growth, take into account "efficiency" and "equity", and establish a pension security system in line with China's national conditions.

In any case, it is an inevitable trend of social development to broaden the financing channels of pension. We should actively expand the investment of stock investment, bond investment, private fund and sovereign wealth fund on the premise of risk prevention as the first priority, so as to make pension fund stronger and bigger, and make it a "fund pool" for Chinese pension. China must be prepared for a comprehensive response to the pension deficit’s approaching.
