REPORT ON THE WORK OF THE GOVERNMENT

Delivered at the Fourth Session of the 13th National People’s Congress of the People’s Republic of China on March 5, 2021

Li Keqiang, Premier of the State Council

各位代表:

Fellow Deputies,

现在,我代表国务院,向大会报告政府工作,请予审议,并请全国政协委员提出意见。

On behalf of the State Council, I will now report to you on the work of the government, and I ask for your deliberation and approval of it. I also ask members of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) for their comments.

一、2020年工作回顾

I. A review of Our Work in 2020

过去一年,在新中国历史上极不平凡。面对突如其来的新冠肺炎疫情、世界经济深度衰退等多重严重冲击,在以习近平同志为核心的党中央坚强领导下,全国各族人民顽强拼搏,疫情防控取得重大战略成果,在全球主要经济体中唯一实现经济正增长,脱贫攻坚战取得全面胜利,决胜全面建成小康社会取得决定性成就,交出一份人民满意、世界瞩目、可以载入史册的答卷。全年发展主要目标任务较好完成,我国改革开放和社会主义现代化建设又取得新的重大进展。

Last year was an extraordinary year in the history of the People’s Republic of China. Facing the combined adverse and severe impact of a sudden coronavirus epidemic and a deep global economic recession, we the Chinese people of all ethnic groups, under the strong leadership of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core, responded with tremendous tenacity. We achieved major strategic success in our response to Covid-19 and China was the world’s only major economy to achieve growth. We attained a complete victory in the fight against poverty, and we scored decisive achievements in securing a full victory in building a moderately prosperous society in all respects. Indeed, our achievements, which have won the approval of our people and global recognition, will be remembered in history. Our development goals and tasks for the year were accomplished, and major headway has been made in China’s reform, opening up, and socialist modernization drive.

在艰辛的抗疫历程中,党中央始终坚持人民至上、生命至上,习近平总书记亲自指挥、亲自部署,各方面持续努力,不断巩固防控成果。我们针对疫情形势变化,及时调整防控策略,健全常态化防控机制,有效处置局部地区聚集性疫情,最大限度保护了人民生命安全和身体健康,为恢复生产生活秩序创造必要条件。

Throughout this fierce battle against Covid-19, the CPC Central Committee put protecting the people and human life above everything else, with General Secretary Xi Jinping personally taking charge and making response decisions. Thanks to the tireless efforts of all of us, our gains in controlling Covid-19 were continuously consolidated. In response to evolving epidemic dynamics, we made well-timed adjustments to our response approaches. We improved routine control mechanisms and effectively suppressed several local outbreaks of the epidemic. With these actions, we fully protected the health and safety of the people, and created the conditions for returning to normal life and work.

一年来,我们贯彻党中央决策部署,统筹推进疫情防控和经济社会发展,主要做了以下工作。

Last year, we carried out the following work to implement the decisions and plans of the Party Central Committee, and to respond to Covid-19 and advance economic and social development:

一是围绕市场主体的急需制定和实施宏观政策,稳住了经济基本盘。面对历史罕见的冲击,我们在“六稳”工作基础上,明确提出“六保”任务,特别是保就业保民生保市场主体,以保促稳、稳中求进。立足国情实际,既及时果断又保持定力,坚持不搞“大水漫灌”,科学把握规模性政策的平衡点。注重用改革和创新办法,助企纾困和激发活力并举,帮助受冲击最直接且量大面广的中小微企业和个体工商户渡难关。实施阶段性大规模减税降费,与制度性安排相结合,全年为市场主体减负超过2.6万亿元,其中减免社保费1.7万亿元。创新宏观政策实施方式,对新增2万亿元中央财政资金建立直达机制,省级财政加大资金下沉力度,共同为市县基层落实惠企利民政策及时补充财力。支持银行定向增加贷款并降低利率水平,对中小微企业贷款延期还本付息,大型商业银行普惠小微企业贷款增长50％以上,金融系统向实体经济让利1.5万亿元。对大企业复工复产加强“点对点”服务。经过艰苦努力,我们率先实现复工复产,经济恢复好于预期,全年国内生产总值增长2.3％,宏观调控积累了新的经验,以合理代价取得较大成效。

1. We formulated and implemented macro policies to meet the urgent needs of market entities and kept the fundamentals of the economy stable. Facing shocks of a severity rarely seen before, based on what we had done to ensure stability on six key fronts (The six fronts refer to employment, the financial sector, foreign trade, foreign investment, domestic investment, and expectations. The six areas refer to job security, basic living needs, operations of market entities, food and energy security, stable industrial and supply chains, and the normal functioning of primary-level governments.), we carried out the task of maintaining security in six key areas—particularly job security, basic living needs, and the operations of market entities. By maintaining security, we were able to deliver stability while also pursuing progress. Based on China’s realities, we refrained from adopting a deluge of strong stimulus policies but took swift, decisive and well-considered steps, thus maintaining a desired balance between various macro policies. Using approaches of reform and innovation, we eased the difficulties of our enterprises and energized them. And we helped micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) and self-employed individuals, which are large in number, extensive in scope and took the most direct hit from Covid-19, weather what was a very tough time. By making both time-limited large-scale tax and fee cuts and institutional arrangements, we reduced the burden on market entities by more than 2.6 trillion yuan for the year, including 1.7 trillion yuan in social insurance premium cuts and exemptions. We adopted new approaches in implementing macro policies. The central government established a mechanism to directly allocate two trillion yuan of new funding to prefecture- and county-level governments, while provincial-level governments also increased their funding allocations to governments at these levels. With these two steps, we provided prefecture- and county-level governments with additional and timely fiscal resources to assist local businesses and residents. Banks were given support to increase loans to businesses and lower interest rates in a targeted way. MSMEs were allowed to postpone principal and interest repayments on their loans, and inclusive finance lending by large commercial banks to micro and small businesses increased by more than 50 percent. The real economy thus received an infusion of 1.5 trillion yuan from financial institutions. Point-to-point transportation services were provided to large enterprises to help them resume operations. Thanks to all these arduous efforts, China was able to take the lead in reopening its economy. With gross domestic product (GDP) for the year growing by 2.3 percent, a better-than-expected recovery was achieved. We thus not only gained fresh experience in macro regulation, but also delivered the best possible outcome at an acceptable cost.

二是优先稳就业保民生,人民生活得到切实保障。就业是最大的民生,保市场主体也是为稳就业保民生。各地加大稳岗扩岗激励力度,企业和员工共同克服困难。多渠道做好重点群体就业工作,支持大众创业万众创新带动就业。新增市场主体恢复快速增长,创造了大量就业岗位。城镇新增就业1186万人,年末全国城镇调查失业率降到5.2％。作为最大发展中国家,在巨大冲击下能够保持就业大局稳定,尤为难能可贵。加强生活必需品保供稳价,居民消费价格上涨2.5％。线上办公、网络购物、无接触配送等广泛开展。大幅度扩大失业保险保障范围。对因疫情遇困群众及时给予救助,新纳入低保、特困供养近600万人,实施临时救助超过800万人次。抵御严重洪涝、台风等自然灾害,全力应急抢险救援,妥善安置受灾群众,保障了人民群众生命财产安全和基本生活。

2. We gave top priority to stabilizing employment and ensuring living standards and effectively safeguarded people’s wellbeing. Employment is pivotal to people’s wellbeing. Our efforts to keep market entities afloat are aimed at maintaining stable employment and meeting basic living needs. Local governments across the country provided more incentives to stabilize and expand employment, thus enabling businesses and their employees to work hand-in-hand to overcome their difficulties. Multiple channels were tapped to ensure employment for key groups, and startups and innovation were encouraged as a way to create jobs. The number of new market entities began growing rapidly again, leading to the creation of a large number of new jobs. A total of 11.86 million urban jobs were added, and the year-end surveyed urban unemployment rate dropped to 5.2 percent. It is truly remarkable that China, the largest developing country in the world, has kept overall employment stable in the face of such an enormous shock. The supply and price stability of daily necessities was ensured; the consumer price index (CPI) posted a 2.5 percent growth. Practices like working from home, online shopping, and contactless delivery were widely adopted. We expanded the coverage of unemployment insurance schemes, and extended timely assistance to those who were hit particularly hard by Covid-19. Close to six million additional people received subsistence allowances or extreme poverty aid, and more than eight million temporary assistance grants were disbursed. We fought against severe floods, typhoons, and other natural disasters and spared no effort to provide rescue and relief to disaster victims and make appropriate arrangements for them, thus protecting people’s lives and property and ensuring their basic living needs.

三是坚决打好三大攻坚战,主要目标任务如期完成。较大幅度增加财政扶贫资金投入。对工作难度大的贫困县和贫困村挂牌督战,精准落实各项帮扶措施。优先支持贫困劳动力稳岗就业,帮助返乡贫困劳动力再就业,努力稳住务工收入。加大产业扶贫力度,深入开展消费扶贫。加强易返贫致贫人口监测和帮扶。年初剩余的551万农村贫困人口全部脱贫、52个贫困县全部摘帽。继续打好蓝天、碧水、净土保卫战,完成污染防治攻坚战阶段性目标任务。长江、黄河、海岸带等重要生态系统保护和修复重大工程深入实施,生态建设得到加强。稳妥化解地方政府债务风险,及时处置一批重大金融风险隐患。

3. We made decisive progress in the three critical battles against poverty, pollution and potential risk, achieving major targets and tasks as planned. We increased funding for poverty alleviation by a considerable sum. Counties and villages facing difficulty in poverty eradication were placed under special supervision to see they fully implemented all assistance and support policies. We assisted on a priority basis poor workers in securing jobs and poor rural migrant workers who had returned home in finding new jobs, thus keeping rural residents’ incomes from nonagricultural work stable. We worked harder to reduce poverty through the development of local industries and promote consumer spending on products from poor areas. We strengthened monitoring for groups who are liable to return to, or fall into, poverty, and provided them with assistance. All remaining poor rural residents, totaling 5.51 million in early 2020, were lifted from poverty, as were all of China’s remaining 52 poor counties. We continued working to keep our skies blue, our waters clear, and our lands pollution-free, and accomplished the objectives for pollution prevention and control for the current stage. We carried out major projects for protecting and restoring key ecosystems in the Yangtze River and Yellow River basins and along coastlines, and stepped up our ecological conservation endeavors. We took prudent steps to defuse local government debt risks and acted swiftly to defuse a number of major financial risks and potential dangers.

四是坚定不移推进改革开放,发展活力和内生动力进一步增强。完善要素市场化配置体制机制。深入推进“放管服”改革,实施优化营商环境条例。出台国企改革三年行动方案。支持民营企业发展。完善资本市场基础制度。扎实推进农业农村、社会事业等领域改革。共建“一带一路”稳步推进。海南自由贸易港建设等重大举措陆续推出。成功举办第三届中国国际进口博览会、中国国际服务贸易交易会。推动区域全面经济伙伴关系协定签署。完成中欧投资协定谈判。维护产业链供应链稳定,对外贸易和利用外资保持增长。

4. We continued to advance reform and opening up and further boosted the vitality and momentum of development. We improved the systems and mechanisms for the market allocation of production factors. We furthered reforms to streamline administration and delegate power, improve regulation, and upgrade services; and the Regulations on Improving the Business Environment were implemented. We adopted a three-year action plan for SOE reform and supported the development of private businesses. The underlying systems of the capital market were improved. We made solid strides in reforms related to agriculture, rural development, and social programs. Steady progress was achieved in the joint pursuit of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). Major measures to develop the Hainan Free Trade Port and other major initiatives were launched. The third China International Import Expo and the China International Fair for Trade in Services were hosted successfully. China played an important role in the signing of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement, and it concluded negotiations on an investment agreement with the European Union. China’s industrial chains and supply chains were kept stable. And its foreign trade and utilized foreign investment posted steady growth.

五是大力促进科技创新,产业转型升级步伐加快。建设国际科技创新中心和综合性国家科学中心,成功组建首批国家实验室。“天问一号”、“嫦娥五号”、“奋斗者”号等突破性成果不断涌现。加强关键核心技术攻关。支持科技成果转化应用,促进大中小企业融通创新,推广全面创新改革试验相关举措。推动产业数字化智能化改造,战略性新兴产业保持快速发展势头。

5. We vigorously promoted innovation in science and technology and accelerated industrial transformation and upgrading. We developed China’s international centers for science and technology innovation and comprehensive national science centers, and set up the country’s first group of national laboratories. Last year saw a stream of scientific and technological breakthroughs, like the Tianwen-1 Mars mission, the Chang’e-5 lunar mission, and the Fendouzhe (Striver) deep-sea manned submersible. We intensified efforts to make major breakthroughs in core technologies in key fields. We supported the application of scientific and technological advances, encouraged collaborative innovation among small, medium, and large enterprises, and promoted pilot reforms on all-around innovation. More was done to upgrade the industrial sector with digital and smart technologies; and strategic emerging industries maintained rapid development.

六是推进新型城镇化和乡村振兴,城乡区域发展格局不断优化。加大城镇老旧小区改造力度,因城施策促进房地产市场平稳健康发展。粮食实现增产,生猪产能加快恢复,乡村建设稳步展开,农村人居环境整治成效明显。推进煤电油气产供储销体系建设,提升能源安全保障能力。健全区域协调发展体制机制,在实施重大区域发展战略方面出台一批新举措。

6. We advanced new urbanization and rural revitalization and improved the layout of urban-rural development and development among regions. Efforts were intensified to rebuild old urban residential areas. By adopting city-specific policies, we promoted the stable and healthy development of the housing market. Grain output continued to increase, and hog production rebounded at a faster rate. We took solid steps in advancing rural development, and markedly improved rural living environments. We continued to build up the production, supply, storage, and marketing systems for coal, petroleum, natural gas, and electricity, and enhanced our capacity to ensure energy security. We improved mechanisms for promoting coordinated development between regions, and introduced a range of new measures to implement major strategies for regional development.

七是加强依法行政和社会建设,社会保持和谐稳定。提请全国人大常委会审议法律议案9件,制定修订行政法规37部。广泛开展线上教学,秋季学期实现全面复学,1000多万高中毕业生顺利完成高考。全面深化教育领域综合改革。实现高职院校扩招100万人目标。加大公共卫生体系建设力度。提升大规模核酸检测能力,新冠肺炎患者治疗费用全部由国家承担。保障养老金按时足额发放,实现企业养老保险基金省级统收统支。加强公共文化服务。完善城乡基层治理。扎实做好信访工作。发挥审计监督作用。开展国务院大督查。做好第七次全国人口普查、国家脱贫攻坚普查。加强生产安全事故防范和处置。严格食品药品疫苗监管。强化社会治安综合治理,持续推进扫黑除恶专项斗争,平安中国建设取得新成效。

7. We stepped up law-based administration, promoted social advancement, and safeguarded social harmony and stability. We submitted nine legislative proposals to the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress for deliberation, and formulated or revised 37 sets of administrative regulations. Online school teaching was introduced nationwide, and students returned to school for the autumn semester. Over 10 million high school graduates successfully completed the college entrance examination. We pushed ahead with the comprehensive reform of education, and we achieved the goal of increasing student enrollments in vocational colleges by one million. Efforts were redoubled to strengthen the public health system. We scaled up the capacity for conducting large-scale nucleic acid testing, and all the medical bills for treating Covid-19 patients were covered by the government. Pension benefits were paid on time and in full, and provincial-level collection and payout of enterprise workers’ old-age insurance funds was realized. Better public cultural services were provided. Primary-level governance in urban and rural areas was enhanced. Solid steps were taken to address public complaints. Audit-based oversight was vigorously conducted, and State Council accountability inspections were carried out. We conducted the seventh population census and the poverty reduction survey. We intensified efforts to prevent and handle workplace accidents. Supervision of food, drugs, and vaccines was tightened up. We took a full range of measures to maintain law and order, and continued to combat organized crime and root out local criminal gangs, thus making further headway in pursuing the Peaceful China initiative.

贯彻落实党中央全面从严治党战略部署,加强党风廉政建设和反腐败斗争。巩固深化“不忘初心、牢记使命”主题教育成果。严格落实中央八项规定精神,持续为基层减负。

We implemented the Party Central Committee’s strategic plan for exercising full and strict Party self-governance, and did more to improve Party conduct, build a clean government, and fight corruption. We consolidated the gains from the initiative to raise awareness of the need to stay true to the Party’s founding mission. We strictly complied with the central Party leadership’s eight-point decision on improving work conduct, and we made sustained efforts to ease the burdens of those working on the ground.

中国特色大国外交卓有成效。习近平主席等党和国家领导人通过视频方式主持中非团结抗疫特别峰会,出席联合国成立75周年系列高级别会议、世界卫生大会、二十国集团领导人峰会、亚太经合组织领导人非正式会议、中国—欧盟领导人会晤、东亚合作领导人系列会议等重大活动。坚持多边主义,推动构建人类命运共同体。支持国际抗疫合作,倡导建设人类卫生健康共同体。中国为促进世界和平与发展作出了重要贡献。

We were successful in pursuing China’s major country diplomacy. President Xi Jinping and other Party and state leaders hosted or attended, via video link, major diplomatic events, including the Extraordinary China-Africa Summit on Solidarity against Covid-19, high-level meetings commemorating the 75th anniversary of the United Nations, the 73rd World Health Assembly, the G20 Leaders’ Summit in Riyadh, the APEC Economic Leaders’ Meeting, the 22nd China-EU Leaders’ Meeting, and the East Asia leaders’ meetings on cooperation. We upheld multilateralism and endeavored to build a human community with a shared future. We supported global cooperation on combating Covid-19 and called for building a global health community. China thus made important contributions to advancing global peace and development.

一年来的工作殊为不易。各地区各部门顾全大局、尽责担当,上亿市场主体在应对冲击中展现出坚强韧性,广大人民群众勤劳付出、共克时艰,诠释了百折不挠的民族精神,彰显了人民是真正的英雄,这是我们战胜一切困难挑战的力量源泉。

Our work last year was truly challenging. Yet, local authorities and government departments across the country kept in mind the big picture and shouldered their responsibilities. Market entities, over one hundred million in number, responded to shocks with fortitude and resilience. Our people worked hard and fought adversity in close solidarity and with the unyielding spirit of the Chinese nation, thus proving themselves true heroes. This is the well of strength that enables us to rise to every challenge and overcome every difficulty.

各位代表!

Fellow Deputies,

过去一年取得的成绩,是以习近平同志为核心的党中央坚强领导的结果,是习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想科学指引的结果,是全党全军全国各族人民团结奋斗的结果。我代表国务院,向全国各族人民,向各民主党派、各人民团体和各界人士,表示诚挚感谢!向香港特别行政区同胞、澳门特别行政区同胞、台湾同胞和海外侨胞,表示诚挚感谢!向关心和支持中国现代化建设的各国政府、国际组织和各国朋友,表示诚挚感谢!

We owe our achievements last year to the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core, to the sound guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, and to the concerted efforts of the Party, the armed forces, and the Chinese people of all ethnic groups. On behalf of the State Council, I wish to express sincere gratitude to all our people, and to all other political parties, people’s organizations, and public figures from all sectors of society. I express sincere appreciation to our fellow countrymen and women in the Hong Kong and Macao special administrative regions, in Taiwan, and overseas. I also wish to express heartfelt thanks to the governments of other countries, international organizations, and friends across the world who have shown understanding and support for us in China as we pursue modernization.

在肯定成绩的同时,我们也清醒看到面临的困难和挑战。新冠肺炎疫情仍在全球蔓延,国际形势中不稳定不确定因素增多,世界经济形势复杂严峻。国内疫情防控仍有薄弱环节,经济恢复基础尚不牢固,居民消费仍受制约,投资增长后劲不足,中小微企业和个体工商户困难较多,稳就业压力较大。关键领域创新能力不强。一些地方财政收支矛盾突出,防范化解金融等领域风险任务依然艰巨。生态环保任重道远。民生领域还有不少短板。政府工作存在不足,形式主义、官僚主义不同程度存在,少数干部不担当不作为不善为。一些领域腐败问题仍有发生。我们一定要直面问题和挑战,尽心竭力改进工作,决不辜负人民期待!

While recognizing our achievements, we are also keenly aware of the difficulties and challenges before us. As the coronavirus continues to spread around the world, instability and uncertainty are mounting on the international landscape, and the global economy continues to face grave challenges. Domestically, there are still weak links in our work to control Covid-19. The foundation for achieving our country’s economic recovery needs to be further consolidated, impediments to consumer spending remain, and investment growth lacks sustainability. Our MSMEs and self-employed individuals are still finding the going tough, and the pressure in maintaining stable employment is mounting. Our innovation capacity in key areas needs to be improved. Some local governments have serious budgetary deficits. In forestalling and defusing risks in the financial sector and other areas, we face formidable tasks. We still have a long way to go in protecting the environment. And many weaknesses in areas that are important to people’s basic needs wait to be addressed. There is also room for improvement in the work of the government. Both pointless formalities and bureaucratism persist to varying degrees. A small number of officials fail to fulfill their responsibilities and are unwilling or unable to carry out their duties. Instances of corruption still occur in some sectors. We will face these problems and challenges squarely, make every effort to make improvements, and do all we can to live up to our people’s expectations.

二、“十三五”时期发展成就和“十四五”时期主要目标任务

II. Achievements in the 13th Five-Year Plan Period and Major Targets and Tasks for the 14th Five-Year Plan Period

过去五年,我国经济社会发展取得新的历史性成就。经济运行总体平稳,经济结构持续优化,国内生产总值从不到70万亿元增加到超过100万亿元。创新型国家建设成果丰硕,在载人航天、探月工程、深海工程、超级计算、量子信息等领域取得一批重大科技成果。脱贫攻坚成果举世瞩目, 5575万农村贫困人口实现脱贫, 960多万建档立卡贫困人口通过易地扶贫搬迁摆脱了“一方水土难养一方人”的困境,区域性整体贫困得到解决,完成了消除绝对贫困的艰巨任务。农业现代化稳步推进,粮食生产连年丰收。１亿农业转移人口和其他常住人口在城镇落户目标顺利实现,城镇棚户区住房改造超过2100万套。区域重大战略扎实推进。污染防治力度加大,资源能源利用效率显著提升,生态环境明显改善。金融风险处置取得重要阶段性成果。全面深化改革取得重大突破,供给侧结构性改革持续推进,“放管服”改革不断深入,营商环境持续改善。对外开放持续扩大,共建“一带一路”成果丰硕。人民生活水平显著提高,城镇新增就业超过6000万人,建成世界上规模最大的社会保障体系。教育、卫生、文化等领域发展取得新成就,教育公平和质量较大提升,医疗卫生事业加快发展,文化事业和文化产业繁荣发展。国防和军队建设水平大幅提升。国家安全全面加强,社会保持和谐稳定。经过五年持续奋斗,“十三五”规划主要目标任务胜利完成,中华民族伟大复兴向前迈出了新的一大步。

Over the past five years, China has scored historic new achievements in economic and social development. The economy performed stably overall, and its structure was continuously improved. GDP increased from less than 70 trillion yuan to over 100 trillion yuan. Much was accomplished toward making China a country of innovators, with major advances in manned spaceflight, lunar exploration, deep-sea engineering, supercomputing, quantum information, and other areas. China’s success in poverty alleviation has been recognized by the international community. Its entire rural poor population, 55.75 million in number, was lifted out of poverty, including more than 9.6 million registered poor people who were relocated from inhospitable areas; and regional poverty was successfully eradicated. The daunting task we set ourselves to eliminate absolute poverty has thus been successfully accomplished. Agricultural modernization was steadily advanced, and good harvests were recorded for five years running. The goal of granting urban residency to 100 million people from rural areas and other permanent residents without local household registration was met. More than 21 million housing units in run-down urban areas were rebuilt. Solid steps were taken to implement major regional development strategies. Pollution prevention and control efforts were intensified, resources and energy were used more efficiently, and there was a notable improvement in the environment. Important progress was made in addressing financial risks in this period. Major breakthroughs were achieved in deepening reform across the board. Supply-side structural reform was steadily advanced, as were reforms to streamline administration and delegate power, improve regulation, and upgrade services. Thanks to these efforts, the business environment kept improving. China continued to open its door wider to the world; the joint pursuit of the Belt and Road Initiative yielded solid outcomes. The living standards of our people rose significantly. Over 60 million urban jobs were added, and the world’s largest social security system was established. New achievements were made in education, healthcare, culture and other sectors. Education became much more equitable, and its quality was markedly improved. The healthcare sector registered accelerated development. The cultural sector flourished. Notable advances were made in the development of national defense and the armed forces. China’s national security was enhanced on all fronts, and social harmony and stability were maintained across the country. Thanks to our hard work in these five years, we accomplished the major goals and tasks of the 13th Five-Year Plan, and made a giant stride toward the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

“十四五”时期是开启全面建设社会主义现代化国家新征程的第一个五年。我国发展仍然处于重要战略机遇期,但机遇和挑战都有新的发展变化。要准确把握新发展阶段,深入贯彻新发展理念,加快构建新发展格局,推动高质量发展,为全面建设社会主义现代化国家开好局起好步。

The period covered by the 14th Five-Year Plan will be the first five years in which we embark on a new journey to build China into a modern socialist country in all respects. China remains in an important period of strategic opportunity for development. Yet, there are changes in both the opportunities and challenges we face. We should have an accurate understanding of this new stage of development, fully apply the new development philosophy, and accelerate our efforts to create a new development pattern to promote high-quality development. By doing so, we will set the stage for building a modern socialist country in all respects.

根据《中共中央关于制定国民经济和社会发展第十四个五年规划和二0三五年远景目标的建议》,国务院编制了《国民经济和社会发展第十四个五年规划和２０３５年远景目标纲要(草案)》。《纲要草案》坚持以习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想为指导,实化量化“十四五”时期经济社会发展主要目标和重大任务,全文提交大会审查,这里概述几个方面。

The State Council, acting in accordance with the Recommendations of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China for Formulating the 14th Five-Year Plan for Economic and Social Development and Long-Range Objectives through the Year 2035, has drawn up the draft Outline for the 14th Five-Year Plan for Economic and Social Development and Long-Range Objectives through the Year 2035. The draft Outline, which was formulated under the guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, sets major quantified objectives and tasks for economic and social development during the 14th Five-Year Plan period. The full draft has been submitted to this session for your deliberation and approval. The highlights of the draft Outline are as follows:

----着力提升发展质量效益,保持经济持续健康发展。发展是解决我国一切问题的基础和关键。必须坚持新发展理念,把新发展理念完整、准确、全面贯穿发展全过程和各领域,引导各方面把工作重点放在提高发展质量和效益上,促进增长潜力充分发挥。经济运行保持在合理区间,各年度视情提出经济增长预期目标,全员劳动生产率增长高于国内生产总值增长,城镇调查失业率控制在５.５％以内,物价水平保持总体平稳,实现更高质量、更有效率、更加公平、更可持续、更为安全的发展。

----Improving the quality and effectiveness of development and maintaining sustained and healthy economic growth. Development is the foundation, and it holds the key, for addressing all the issues our country faces. We must stay true to the new development philosophy, and ensure it is applied in full, in both letter and spirit, in every stage and aspect of development. We should encourage people working in all sectors to give high priority to improving the quality and effectiveness of development to fully tap China’s growth potential. We will keep major economic indicators within an appropriate range, set annual targets for economic growth in light of actual conditions, ensure that overall labor productivity grows faster than GDP, keep the surveyed urban unemployment rate within 5.5 percent, and keep prices generally stable. Doing so will enable us to achieve higher-quality development that is more efficient, equitable, sustainable, and secure.

----坚持创新驱动发展,加快发展现代产业体系。坚持创新在我国现代化建设全局中的核心地位,把科技自立自强作为国家发展的战略支撑。完善国家创新体系,加快构建以国家实验室为引领的战略科技力量,打好关键核心技术攻坚战,制定实施基础研究十年行动方案,提升企业技术创新能力,激发人才创新活力,完善科技创新体制机制,全社会研发经费投入年均增长７％以上、力争投入强度高于“十三五”时期实际。坚持把发展经济着力点放在实体经济上,推进产业基础高级化、产业链现代化,保持制造业比重基本稳定,改造提升传统产业,发展壮大战略性新兴产业,促进服务业繁荣发展。统筹推进传统基础设施和新型基础设施建设。加快数字化发展,打造数字经济新优势,协同推进数字产业化和产业数字化转型,加快数字社会建设步伐,提高数字政府建设水平,营造良好数字生态,建设数字中国。

----Pursuing innovation-driven development and accelerating modernization of the industrial system. Innovation remains at the heart of China’s modernization drive. We will strengthen our science and technology to provide strategic support for China’s development. To improve China’s innovation system, we will work faster to enhance our strategic scientific and technological capability underpinned by the development of national laboratories, strive to make major breakthroughs in core technologies in key fields, and formulate and implement a ten-year action plan for basic research. We will enhance the capacity of enterprises to make technological innovation, unlock the creativity of talent, and improve the systems and mechanisms for making scientific and technological innovation. China’s R&D spending will increase by more than seven percent per year, which is expected to account for a higher percentage of GDP than that during the 13th Five-Year Plan period. In pursuing economic growth, we will continue to prioritize the development of the real economy, upgrade the industrial base, modernize industrial chains, and keep the share of manufacturing in the economy basically stable. We will transform and upgrade traditional industries, strengthen strategic emerging industries, and promote the vigorous development of the service sector. Coordinated development of traditional and new forms of infrastructure will be promoted. Digitalization will be sped up to create new strengths for the digital economy.

We will move faster to grant permanent urban residency to people who move to cities from rural areas, and raise the percentage of permanent urban residents to 65 percent of the population. We will expand city clusters and metropolitan areas, implement an action plan for urban renewal, and improve the housing market and housing support system. These moves will enable us to achieve higher quality urbanization.

----Promoting green development and ensuring harmony between humanity and nature. We will stay true to the principle that lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets and strengthen the conservation of mountain, river, forest, farmland, lake, and grassland ecosystems. We will move faster to build major ecological shields, develop a national park-based nature reserve system, and expand forest coverage to 24.1 percent of China’s total land area. We will continue to improve the quality of the environment, and generally eliminate heavy air pollution and black, malodorous water bodies in cities.

三、2021年重点工作

III. Major tasks for 2021

今年是我国现代化建设进程中具有特殊重要性的一年。做好政府工作,要在以习近平同志为核心的党中央坚强领导下,以习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想为指导,全面贯彻党的十九大和十九届二中、三中、四中、五中全会精神,坚持稳中求进工作总基调,立足新发展阶段,贯彻新发展理念,构建新发展格局,以推动高质量发展为主题,以深化供给侧结构性改革为主线,以改革创新为根本动力,以满足人民日益增长的美好生活需要为根本目的,坚持系统观念,巩固拓展疫情防控和经济社会发展成果,更好统筹发展和安全,扎实做好“六稳”工作、全面落实“六保”任务,科学精准实施宏观政策,努力保持经济运行在合理区间,坚持扩大内需战略,强化科技战略支撑,扩大高水平对外开放,保持社会和谐稳定,确保“十四五”开好局起好步,以优异成绩庆祝中国共产党成立100周年。

The year 2021 is of particular importance to China as it pursues the modernization drive. To accomplish the government’s work for the year, we must, under the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core, do the following: follow the guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era; implement the guiding principles of the Party’s 19th National Congress and the second through fifth plenary sessions of the 19th Party Central Committee in full; act on the general principle of pursuing progress while ensuring stability; ground our efforts in the new development stage, apply the new development philosophy, and create a new pattern of development; pursue high-quality development as the general aim, advance supply-side structural reform as the main task, and harness reform and innovation as the key source of momentum in our endeavor to meet the fundamental goal of satisfying the people’s growing needs for a better life; apply systems thinking; consolidate and expand the achievements of the Covid-19 response and economic and social development; ensure better coordination in pursuing development and upholding security; ensure stability on six key fronts and maintain security in six key areas; implement macro policies in a systemic and targeted way; keep major economic indicators within an appropriate range; continue to expand domestic demand; strengthen science and technology to provide strategic support for development; pursue higher-standard opening up; maintain social harmony and stability. These efforts will enable us to get off to a good start in the 14th Five-Year Plan period and commemorate the centenary of the CPC with outstanding achievements in development.

今年我国发展仍面临不少风险挑战,但经济长期向好的基本面没有改变。我们要坚定信心,攻坚克难,巩固恢复性增长基础,努力保持经济社会持续健康发展。

In 2021, China will continue to face many development risks and challenges, but the economic fundamentals that will sustain long-term growth remain unchanged. We should stay confident, meet challenges head-on, and consolidate the foundation for economic recovery to ensure sustained and healthy economic and social development.

今年发展主要预期目标是：国内生产总值增长６％以上;城镇新增就业１１００万人以上,城镇调查失业率５.５％左右;居民消费价格涨幅３％左右;进出口量稳质升,国际收支基本平衡;居民收入稳步增长;生态环境质量进一步改善,单位国内生产总值能耗降低３％左右,主要污染物排放量继续下降;粮食产量保持在1.3万亿斤以上。

The main projected targets for development this year are as follows: GDP growth of over 6 percent；over 11 million new urban jobs；a surveyed urban unemployment rate of around 5.5 percent；CPI increase of around 3 percent；steady increases in both the volume and quality of imports and exports；a basic equilibrium in the balance of payments；steady growth in personal income；a further improvement in the environment；a drop of around 3 percent in energy consumption per unit of GDP；a continued reduction in the discharge of major pollutants；grain output of over 650 million metric tons.

经济增速是综合性指标,今年预期目标设定为６％以上,考虑了经济运行恢复情况,有利于引导各方面集中精力推进改革创新、推动高质量发展。经济增速、就业、物价等预期目标,体现了保持经济运行在合理区间的要求,与今后目标平稳衔接,有利于实现可持续健康发展。

As a general target, China’s growth rate has been set at over 6 percent for this year. In setting this target, we have taken into account the recovery of economic activity. A target of over 6 percent will enable all of us to devote full energy to promoting reform, innovation, and high-quality development. The projected targets for growth, employment, and CPI should keep the economy performing within the appropriate range. These targets are also well-aligned with the annual goals of subsequent years in the 14th Five-Year Plan period, and they will help sustain healthy economic growth.

做好今年工作,要更好统筹疫情防控和经济社会发展。坚持常态化防控和局部应急处置有机结合,继续毫不放松做好外防输入、内防反弹工作,抓好重点区域和关键环节防控,补上短板漏洞,严防出现聚集性疫情和散发病例传播扩散,有序推进疫苗研制和免费接种,提高科学精准防控能力和水平。

For the government to deliver this year, we need to carry out Covid-19 prevention and control and pursue economic and social development in a more coordinated way. We will maintain control measures on a continuing basis and be ready to address isolated emergencies. We will maintain constant vigilance in guarding against inbound cases and domestic resurgences, and ensure effective epidemic control in key areas and at key links. We will effectively address all weaknesses in Covid-19 work, and take strict measures to prevent clusters of infection and transmission caused by isolated cases. The development of vaccines and the free vaccine program will be steadily advanced, and efforts will be intensified to boost our capacity to control Covid-19 with targeted and science-based measures.

今年要重点做好以下几方面工作。

This year, we will carry out the following tasks:

(一)保持宏观政策连续性稳定性可持续性,促进经济运行在合理区间。在区间调控基础上加强定向调控、相机调控、精准调控。宏观政策要继续为市场主体纾困,保持必要支持力度,不急转弯,根据形势变化适时调整完善,进一步巩固经济基本盘。

1. Ensuring the continuity, consistency, and sustainability of macro policies to keep major economic indicators within an appropriate range. On the basis of range-based regulation, we will enhance targeted, well-timed, and precision regulation. We will continue to ensure macro policies alleviate the difficulties of market entities and maintain necessary policy support for achieving this goal. We will avoid sharp turns in policy; instead, we should make adjustments and improvements based on new developments to reinforce the fundamentals of the economy.

积极的财政政策要提质增效、更可持续。考虑到疫情得到有效控制和经济逐步恢复,今年赤字率拟按３.２％左右安排、比去年有所下调,不再发行抗疫特别国债。因财政收入恢复性增长,财政支出总规模比去年增加,重点仍是加大对保就业保民生保市场主体的支持力度。中央本级支出继续安排负增长,进一步大幅压减非急需非刚性支出,对地方一般性转移支付增长７.８％、增幅明显高于去年,其中均衡性转移支付、县级基本财力保障机制奖补资金等增幅均超过１０％。建立常态化财政资金直达机制并扩大范围,将２.８万亿元中央财政资金纳入直达机制、规模明显大于去年,为市县基层惠企利民提供更加及时有力的财力支持。各级政府都要节用为民、坚持过紧日子,确保基本民生支出只增不减,助力市场主体青山常在、生机盎然。

We will enhance the quality, efficiency, and sustainability of our proactive fiscal policy. In view of the effective containment of Covid-19 and gradual economic recovery, we have set the deficit-to-GDP ratio for the year at around 3.2 percent, slightly lower than that of last year. No Covid-19 bonds will be issued. As government revenue rebounds, total government expenditures will be higher this year than last. We will continue to give priority to increasing support for efforts to ensure employment, living standards, and the operations of market entities. Continued cuts will be made in central government expenditures, including considerable reductions to outlays on non-essential and non-obligatory items. General transfer payments to local governments will be increased by 7.8 percent, which is significantly higher than last year. This will include growth of more than 10 percent in both transfer payments for equalizing access to basic public services and rewards and subsidies to ensure basic funding for county-level governments. We will make it a normal practice to directly allocate budgetary funds to prefecture- and county-level governments and place more funds under this mechanism. This year, 2.8 trillion yuan of central government funding, a figure much larger than last year, will be allocated in this way to provide timely and strong fiscal support to these local governments to benefit businesses and people. We at every level of government should practice fiscal frugality in the interests of the people. We should continue to tighten our belts, ensure continued increases in spending to meet basic living needs, and help sustain and energize market entities.

优化和落实减税政策。市场主体恢复元气、增强活力,需要再帮一把。继续执行制度性减税政策,延长小规模纳税人增值税优惠等部分阶段性政策执行期限,实施新的结构性减税举措,对冲部分政策调整带来的影响。将小规模纳税人增值税起征点从月销售额１０万元提高到１５万元。对小微企业和个体工商户年应纳税所得额不到１００万元的部分,在现行优惠政策基础上,再减半征收所得税。各地要把减税政策及时落实到位,确保市场主体应享尽享。

We will continue to implement and improve tax reduction policies. We need to do more to help market entities stand firmly on their feet and thrive. We will continue to implement systematic tax cut policies, extend the duration of several temporary policies such as VAT relief for small-scale taxpayers, and adopt new policies on structural tax reductions to offset the impact of some policy adjustments. The VAT threshold for small-scale taxpayers will be raised from 100,000 yuan to 150,000 yuan in monthly sales. On the basis of preferential policies already in force, we will halve the income tax of micro and small enterprises and self-employed individuals on annual taxable income below one million yuan. All local governments should implement tax reduction policies fully and on a timely basis and see that market entities all enjoy these tax reduction benefits.

稳健的货币政策要灵活精准、合理适度。把服务实体经济放到更加突出的位置,处理好恢复经济与防范风险的关系。货币供应量和社会融资规模增速与名义经济增速基本匹配,保持流动性合理充裕,保持宏观杠杆率基本稳定。保持人民币汇率在合理均衡水平上的基本稳定。进一步解决小微企业融资难题。延续普惠小微企业贷款延期还本付息政策,加大再贷款再贴现支持普惠金融力度。延长小微企业融资担保降费奖补政策,完善贷款风险分担补偿机制。加快信用信息共享步伐。完善金融机构考核、评价和尽职免责制度。引导银行扩大信用贷款、持续增加首贷户,推广随借随还贷款,使资金更多流向科技创新、绿色发展,更多流向小微企业、个体工商户、新型农业经营主体,对受疫情持续影响行业企业给予定向支持。大型商业银行普惠小微企业贷款增长３０％以上。创新供应链金融服务模式。适当降低小微企业支付手续费。优化存款利率监管,推动实际贷款利率进一步降低,继续引导金融系统向实体经济让利。今年务必做到小微企业融资更便利、综合融资成本稳中有降。就业优先政策要继续强化、聚力增效。着力稳定现有岗位,对不裁员少裁员的企业,继续给予必要的财税、金融等政策支持。继续降低失业和工伤保险费率,扩大失业保险返还等阶段性稳岗政策惠及范围,延长以工代训政策实施期限。拓宽市场化就业渠道,促进创业带动就业。推动降低就业门槛,动态优化国家职业资格目录,降低或取消部分准入类职业资格考试工作年限要求。支持和规范发展新就业形态,加快推进职业伤害保障试点。继续对灵活就业人员给予社保补贴,推动放开在就业地参加社会保险的户籍限制。做好高校毕业生、退役军人、农民工等重点群体就业工作,完善残疾人、零就业家庭成员等困难人员就业帮扶政策,促进失业人员再就业。拓宽职业技能培训资金使用范围,开展大规模、多层次职业技能培训,完成职业技能提升和高职扩招三年行动目标,建设一批高技能人才培训基地。实施提升就业服务质量工程。运用就业专项补助等资金,支持各类劳动力市场、人才市场、零工市场建设,广开就业门路,为有意愿有能力的人创造更多公平就业机会。

We will keep our prudent monetary policy flexible and targeted and at a reasonable and appropriate level. We will give even greater priority to serving the real economy, and balance the needs of promoting economic recovery and preventing risks. We will see that increases in money supply and aggregate financing are generally in step with economic growth in nominal terms, maintain a proper and adequate level of liquidity supply, and keep the macro leverage ratio generally stable. We will also keep the RMB exchange rate generally stable at an adaptive, balanced level. Further steps will be taken to address the financing difficulties of micro and small enterprises. We will continue the policy of allowing micro and small enterprises to defer principal and interest repayments on inclusive-finance loans, and increase support for inclusive finance via re-lending and rediscounting. We will continue the policy of providing rewards and subsidies to reduce financing guaranty fees for micro and small businesses, and improve mechanisms for risk sharing and compensation for loan defaults. We will move faster to promote the sharing of credit information. The assessment and evaluation of the performance of financial institutions will be improved, and we will ensure that those who have fulfilled their duties are not held accountable. Banks will be encouraged to increase credit loans and first-time loans. We will extend the pay-as-you-go lending model, channel more funds into scientific and technological innovation, green development initiatives, micro and small enterprises, self-employed individuals, and new types of agribusiness, and provide targeted support for enterprises and industries enduring a sustained hit from Covid-19. Inclusive loans to micro and small businesses by large commercial banks will increase by over 30 percent this year. New models for providing supply chain financial services will be developed. Appropriate reductions will be made to transaction fees levied on micro and small businesses. We will improve regulation over deposit rates, further lower loan interest rates in real terms, and continue to guide the financial sector in giving more to the real economy. This year, we must see that micro and small businesses have easier access to financing, and that their overall financing costs steadily drop. We will continue to improve the employment-first policy to enhance its performance. We will work to keep the employment situation stable. We will continue to provide adequate fiscal, tax, and financial policy support to businesses that do not cut jobs or only cut a small number of them. We will further reduce premiums for unemployment insurance and workers’ compensation, and expand the scope of time-limited policies aimed at helping businesses maintain payrolls, such as the refunding of unemployment insurance premiums. The duration of policies on work-based training organized by companies will be extended. We will broaden channels for creating market-based employment, and leverage the role of business startups in boosting employment. The thresholds for obtaining employment will be lowered, and we will improve the national catalog of professional qualifications on a continuing basis, and relax or lift the years-of-experience requirements for taking qualification examinations for some license-based professions. We will support the development of new forms of employment and keep such employment well-regulated, and we will move faster to advance trials of occupational injury insurance. We will continue to subsidize contributions to social insurance made by workers in flexible employment, and allow people to access social security in the locality where they work even if they do not hold local residency. We will work to ensure employment for key groups such as college graduates, ex-service members, and rural migrant workers, improve policies on employment support for people facing difficulties like those with disabilities and members of zero-employment families, and help unemployed people find work. We will expand the scope of use for vocational skills training funds, launch large-scale, multi-level vocational skills training programs, and complete the goals of the three-year initiative on providing vocational skills training and expanding enrollment in vocational colleges. A number of bases for training highly-skilled personnel will be opened. An initiative will be carried out to boost the quality of employment services. We will use employment subsidies and other funds to support the development of labor, talent, and casual labor markets, so as to widen the avenues of employment and enable people who are willing and able to work to find more equitable job opportunities.

(二)深入推进重点领域改革,更大激发市场主体活力。在落实助企纾困政策的同时,加大力度推动相关改革,培育更加活跃更有创造力的市场主体。

2. Advancing reforms in key areas and further energizing market entities. While implementing policies to ease enterprises’ difficulties, we will also intensify reforms to foster more dynamic and innovative market entities.

进一步转变政府职能。充分发挥市场在资源配置中的决定性作用,更好发挥政府作用,推动有效市场和有为政府更好结合。继续放宽市场准入,开展要素市场化配置综合改革试点,依法平等保护各类市场主体产权。纵深推进“放管服”改革,加快营造市场化、法治化、国际化营商环境。将行政许可事项全部纳入清单管理。深化“证照分离”改革,大力推进涉企审批减环节、减材料、减时限。实行中小微企业简易注销制度。实施工业产品准入制度改革,推进汽车、电子电器等行业生产准入和流通管理全流程改革。把有效监管作为简政放权的必要保障,全面落实监管责任,加强对取消或下放审批事项的事中事后监管,完善分级分类监管政策,健全跨部门综合监管制度,大力推行“互联网＋监管”,提升监管能力,加大失信惩处力度,以公正监管促进优胜劣汰。加强数字政府建设,建立健全政务数据共享协调机制,推动电子证照扩大应用领域和全国互通互认,实现更多政务服务事项网上办、掌上办、一次办。企业和群众经常办理的事项,今年要基本实现“跨省通办”。

We will further transform the functions of government. We will fully leverage the decisive role of the market in allocating resources and give better play to the role of government, to ensure better alignment between an efficient market and a well-functioning government. We will continue to expand market access, pilot a comprehensive reform on the market-based allocation of production factors, and ensure equal protection for the property rights of various market entities in accordance with the law. We will deepen reforms to streamline administration and delegate power, improve regulation, and upgrade services and, move faster to create a market-oriented, law-based, and internationalized business environment. We will practice list-based management for all items requiring administrative approval. We will advance the reform for separating operating permits from business licenses, and devote major efforts to reducing the procedures, documents, and time required in conducting government review of applications made by enterprises. The system for deregistering MSMEs with simplified procedures will be implemented. We will reform the system of market access for industrial products, and advance reform of the entire management process, from production access to marketing, for several industries such as the automobile, electronic, and electric appliances industries. Effective regulation is necessary for our efforts to streamline administration and delegate power. We will see that all regulatory responsibilities of government are fulfilled. We will strengthen ongoing and ex post oversight of items for which approval has been cancelled or delegated to lower-level authorities. We will refine regulatory policies covering different levels and categories, and improve the system of comprehensive inter-agency regulation. We will also advance the Internet plus regulation model to enhance our capacity for conducting regulation. We will impose stiffer penalties on acts of bad faith, and carry out regulation in an impartial way to ensure that well-performing businesses succeed in market competition and those which are poorly run are eliminated. We will work to build a digital government. We will set up a sound coordination mechanism for sharing government data, expand the application, and promote mutual nationwide recognition, of electronic licenses and certificates, and ensure more government services are accessible online and on cellphone applications with the need for only one application process. This year, high-demand government services should generally be provided on an inter-provincial basis.

用改革办法推动降低企业生产经营成本。推进能源、交通、电信等基础性行业改革,提高服务效率,降低收费水平。允许所有制造业企业参与电力市场化交易,进一步清理用电不合理加价,继续推动降低一般工商业电价。中小企业宽带和专线平均资费再降１０％。全面推广高速公路差异化收费,坚决整治妨碍货车通行的道路限高限宽设施和检查卡点。取消港口建设费,将民航发展基金航空公司征收标准降低２０％。鼓励受疫情影响较大的地方对承租国有房屋的服务业小微企业和个体工商户减免租金。推动各类中介机构公开服务条件、流程、时限和收费标准。要严控非税收入不合理增长,严厉整治乱收费、乱罚款、乱摊派,不得扰民渔利,让市场主体安心经营、轻装前行。

We will work to reduce enterprises’ production and operating costs through reform. We will advance the reform of basic sectors like energy, transportation and telecommunications to provide more efficient services and reduce charges. All manufacturing enterprises will be allowed to engage in market-based electricity transactions. Further steps will be taken to cut unjustified surcharges on electricity use; electricity rates for general industrial and commercial businesses will be further reduced. Average rates for broadband and dedicated internet access services for small and medium enterprises will be lowered by another 10 percent. We will introduce differentiated pricing for expressway tolls nationwide and take firm measures to rectify irregular height and width limits and checkpoints that affect freight traffic. The port development fee will be abolished. Airlines’ contributions to the civil aviation development fund will be cut by 20 percent. Governments in localities that were hit hard by Covid-19 will be encouraged to lower or waive rentals on state-owned property for micro and small businesses in the service sector and for self-employed individuals. Various intermediary agencies will be urged to make public their terms of service, procedures, timeframes, and charges.

Fellow Deputies,

面对新的任务和挑战,各级政府要增强“四个意识”、坚定“四个自信”、做到“两个维护”,自觉在思想上政治上行动上同以习近平同志为核心的党中央保持高度一致,践行以人民为中心的发展思想,不断提高政治判断力、政治领悟力、政治执行力,落实全面从严治党要求。加强法治政府建设。坚持政务公开。依法接受同级人大及其常委会的监督,自觉接受人民政协的民主监督,主动接受社会和舆论监督。强化审计监督。支持工会、共青团、妇联等群团组织更好发挥作用。深入推进党风廉政建设和反腐败斗争,锲而不舍落实中央八项规定精神。政府工作人员要自觉接受法律监督、监察监督和人民监督。加强廉洁政府建设,持续整治不正之风和腐败问题。

In the face of new tasks and challenges, our governments at all levels must be keenly aware of the need to maintain political integrity, think in big-picture terms, follow the leadership core, and keep in alignment with the central Party leadership. We should stay confident in the path, theory, system, and culture of socialism with Chinese characteristics; and we should uphold General Secretary Xi Jinping’s core position on the Party Central Committee and in the Party as a whole, and uphold the Party Central Committee’s authority and its centralized, unified leadership. We will closely follow the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core in thinking, stance, and action, practice the people-centered development philosophy, keep enhancing our capacity for political judgment, thinking, and implementation, and enforce full and strict Party self-governance. We will boost development of a government based on the rule of law and ensure transparency in all government affairs. We will, in compliance with the law, subject ourselves to the oversight of people’s congresses and their standing committees at the corresponding level, and readily submit to the democratic oversight of the CPPCC, public oversight, and oversight through public opinion, while strengthening auditing-based oversight. We will support trade unions, Communist Youth League organizations, women’s federations, and other people’s organizations in better playing their roles. We will work harder to improve Party conduct, ensure clean government, and root out corruption, and continue to implement the central Party leadership’s eight-point decision on conduct. We in government must readily subject ourselves to the oversight of the law, supervisory bodies, and the people. We will intensify efforts to build a clean government and continue to prevent misconduct and corruption.

中国经济社会发展已经取得了辉煌的成就,但全面实现现代化还有相当长的路要走,仍要付出艰苦努力。必须立足社会主义初级阶段基本国情,着力办好自己的事。要始终把人民放在心中最高位置,坚持实事求是,求真务实谋发展、惠民生。要力戒形式主义、官僚主义,切忌在工作中搞“一刀切”,切实为基层松绑减负。要居安思危,增强忧患意识,事不畏难、责不避险,有效防范化解各种风险隐患。要调动一切可以调动的积极因素,推进改革开放,更大激发市场主体活力和社会创造力,用发展的办法解决发展不平衡不充分问题。要担当作为,实干苦干,不断创造人民期待的发展业绩。

Although remarkable achievements have been made in China’s economic and social development, we still have quite a way to go and a lot of hard work to do before we can achieve modernization in all respects. We must bear in mind the reality that China is still in the primary stage of socialism and run our affairs well. For all of us in government, the people must always be uppermost in our minds. We must take a fact-based approach, and pursue development and improve in people’s lives in a realistic and pragmatic way. We must guard against pointless formalities and bureaucratism and one-size-fits-all approaches in our work, so as to truly lighten the burden on all those working on the ground. We need to remain vigilant, be prepared for adversity, face difficulties squarely, and shoulder responsibility bravely to effectively prevent and defuse various risks and potential dangers. We should keep everyone motivated in advancing reform and opening up, and further energize market entities and unlock social creativity. In the course of pursuing development, we will take steps to address imbalances and inadequacies in development. We must take on responsibility, work hard, and continue creating achievements to meet the expectation of our people.
