第一篇:李克强2014年记者招待会全文(中英对照)
2014年3月13日上午,十二届全国人大二次会议在人民大会堂举行记者会,国务院总理李克强应大会发言人傅莹的邀请会见中外记者,并回答记者提问。
On the morning of 13 March 2014, the Second Session of the Twelfth National People’s Congress held a press conference at the Great Hall of the People.Premier Li Keqiang of the State Council met with Chinese and foreign press at the invitation of Fu Ying, spokesperson of the NPC Session.[国务院总理 李克强]媒体的朋友们,感谢你们对中国两会给予的关注和作出的报道,大家辛苦了。下面就请提问。
Premier Li Keqiang said: Friends from the press, I want to thank you for your interest in and coverage of the NPC and CPPCC Sessions.My appreciation goes to all of you for your hard work.Now I would be happy to take your questions.[美国有线电视新闻网记者]李总理,我的问题是和失联的马航飞机有关。首先借此机会对于机上的乘客、机组人员以及他们的家属表示同情。大家都在急切地等待飞机的有关消息。请问您的是,中国政府在民用、军事以及卫星获取图象等方面采取了什么措施来全力参与失联飞机的搜救行动?我还想问,这起事件会否对中国的对外开放政策和海内外的旅游业产生影响?中国将采取什么措施确保国内以及海外中国公民的安全?比如中国政府是否会考虑进一步加强业已十分严格的安保措施?
CNN: Premier Li, my question pertains to the missing airplane of Malaysia Airlines.First of all, our sympathy goes to the families of the passengers and crew members of MH370.It’s day 6 now and there is confusion and frustration.What’s your reaction to the current situation? What is China doing to harness all your resources, civilian, military, satellite imaging to assist in the search and rescue? And down the road, how will this incident impact China’s attitude and policies on opening-up including inbound and outbound tourism? What measures will you take to ensure the safety of Chinese citizens in and outside China? Will you tighten up the already tight security? Thank you.[李克强]马航失联飞机上有239名乘客,其中154名是中国同胞,他们的亲人心急如焚,他们的生命安危牵挂了中国政府和亿万中国人的心,现在我们也在盼来有消息,哪怕是一丁点好消息。中国政府已经启动了全面应急和搜救机制,现在到达相关海域的有8艘中国舰船,还有一艘正在驶向相关海域,而且我们还动用了十颗卫星进行信息技术支持,只要有任何疑点都不能放过。
Li Keqiang: There are 239 people on board the missing plane of Malaysia Airlines, including the 154 Chinese passengers.Those people’s families and friends are burning with anxiety.The Chinese government and Chinese people are deeply concerned about their safety.We are all eagerly awaiting news about the plane, even the slightest piece of good news.The Chinese government has activated a comprehensive contingency response and search operation.Currently there are eight Chinese vessels in the related waters and one Chinese vessel is on its way.Ten satellites are being used to provide information and technical support.We will not give up on any suspected clue.昨天我还和在前方的中国一艘搜救船船长通话,请他尽力再尽力。我们对卫星图象上发现的一些疑点,也在尽力地进行辨认。这是一场国际大搜救,有诸多的国家参与了搜救,我们也要求有关方面加强协调,并且一定要查明原因,找到马航的失联航班,妥善处理相关各方面的事宜。只要有一丝希望,我们绝不放弃搜救!至于问到中国的开放政策会不会变?不会,会继续开放,会有更多的中国公民走出国门,这会增加政府的责任。政府要尽职履责,尽自己最大的可能,通过加强国际合作来确保在海外我国公民的生命安全。对于中国的航班安全工作,我们一直不敢放松,人命关天啊!谢谢。
I had a telephone conversation yesterday with a captain of one of the Chinese vessels in the search operation, and asked him to do his utmost.We are looking very closely at all suspected clues shown on the satellite images.This is a large international search operation involving many countries.The Chinese government has asked relevant parties to enhance coordination, investigate the cause, locate the missing plane and properly handle all related matters.As long as there is a glimmer of hope, we will not stop searching for the plane.With respect to China’s opening-up policy, there will be no change with the policy and China will continue to open itself to the outside world.In this course, a growing number of Chinese people will make overseas trips.That will place greater responsibility on the Chinese government.The Chinese government will fully perform its duties and enhance cooperation with other countries and regions to ensure safety of overseas Chinese nationals.As for flight safety, we have never let up our effort in ensuring flight safety as there is nothing more important than human life.[《金融时报》记者]国际市场高度关注中国金融和债务问题,认为这是全球经济最大的风险之一。请问中国政府将如何应对这些问题,是否愿意看到出现金融产品违约的情况? Financial Times: The international community is following very closely China’s financial and debt risks, regarding this as one of the highest risks for the global economy.What will the Chinese government do to tackle such risks? Is the government willing to see default of financial products? [李克强]你的中文说得很流利,也很标准,我听懂了。但是因为这是中外记者招待会,还得请翻译做一次翻译。关于对中国经济有风险,甚至还有些不看好的报道,最近我也看到了,类似的报道可以说似曾相识,去年就有对中国经济下行的担心,但是我们就是在这样的背景下,顶住压力完成了全年经济主要预期目标。对金融和债务风险我们一直高度关注,去年在经济下行压力加大的情况下,我们果断决定全面审计政府性债务问题,这本身表明要勇于面对。审计的结果如实对外公布,表明债务风险是总体可控的,而且政府的债务率还在国际公认的警戒线以下。很多债务还是投资性的,但我们不能忽视其中存在的风险,正在加强规范性措施。下一步,包括采取逐步纳入预算管理,开正门、堵偏门,规范融资平台等措施。
Li Keqiang: I’ve got your question very clear as you speak very good Chinese, but this is a press conference for both Chinese and foreign journalists, so we still need the translation.There is such a view that the Chinese economy is confronted with risks, and I have read such reports which are not optimistic about the Chinese economy.They bear resemblance to the past bearish talk about the Chinese economy.For example, there was this concern last year about China’s economic downturn.Yet in spite of the pressure, we achieved our goal set for economic growth.We pay very high attention to the financial and debt risks.Faced with increased downward pressure on the economy last year, we conducted a comprehensive audit on government debt.That shows that the Chinese government has faced up to this challenge.We have released to the public the audit result as it is.And it shows that the risks are on the whole under control.Moreover, our debt to GDP ratio is below the internationally recognized warning line, and most of the debt takes the form of investment.But the government will not overlook potential risks.We are going to intensify regulatory steps, put those debts under budgetary management over time and enhance the oversight of financing vehicles.In a word, we are going to keep the front gate open and block side doors.对于“影子银行”等金融风险,我们也正在加强监管,已经排出时间表,推进实施巴赛尔协议III规定的监管措施。我两会期间参加一个代表团的审议,有来自银行界的代表问我,是不是资本充足率的要求偏高了一些?我们还是发展中国家,但是我们只能这样做,我们不能把今天的垫脚石变成明天的绊脚石。至于你问我是不是愿意看到一些金融产品违约的情况,我怎么能够愿意看到呢?但是确实个别情况难以避免,我们必须加强监测,及时处置,确保不发生区域性、系统性金融风险。谢谢。
As for financial risks such as shadow banking, we have tightened regulatory measures, set a timetable and started to apply the Basel III requirements.When I participated in the panel discussion during the two Sessions, a deputy from the banking sector said to me: Isn’t the capital adequacy ratio in China a bit too high? After all, we are still a developing country.But this is a must for us, as we don’t want to let today’s stepping stone become tomorrow’s stumbling block.As for default of financial products, how could I want to see such thing happen? Yet I’m afraid certain individual cases of such defaults are hardly avoidable.What we should do is to step up monitoring, promptly handle relevant situation and ensure that there will be no regional and systemic financial risks.[人民日报、人民网记者]总理,您好。现在社会上有不少人担心中国的反腐败会不会是一阵风?去年我们也查出了不少贪官,这是否说明中国在制度方面还存在着某些缺陷?此外,政府下一步在反腐败上还会有什么新的行动?谢谢。
People’s Daily: There is a widely shared concern in the society as to whether this recent anti-corruption campaign will be a short-lived one.Last year, many corrupt officials were dealt with, but does this show there exist some institutional flaws in China? What new steps will the government take to combat corruption? [李克强]中国党和政府反对腐败的意志和决心是一贯的。十八大以来,以习近平同志为核心的党中央坚持有贪必反、有腐必惩,取得新成效,我们会坚持不懈地做下去。对于腐败分子和腐败行为,我们实行的是“零容忍”。中国是法治国家,不论是谁,不论职位高低,法律面前人人平等,只要是触犯了党纪国法,就要依法依纪严肃查处、惩治。Li Keqiang: The Communist Party of China and the Chinese government have a firm will and resolve to fight corruption.This is our consistent position.Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as General Secretary has been steadfast in combating corruption and holding corrupt officials accountable.New progress has been made in this regard and we will carry forward this campaign with perseverance.For corrupt behaviors and corrupt officials, we will show zero tolerance.China is a country under the rule of law.No matter who he is and how senior his position is, if he violates Party discipline and law of the country, he will be seriously dealt with and punished to the full extent of the law, because everybody is equal before the law.腐败是人民政府的天敌,我们要用法治的思维,用制度来管权、管钱。今年要继续推进简政放权,而且要加快推进“权力清单”公布,界定权力的边界,防止滥用权力。对于社会公众高度关注的一些领域,比如像土地出让金收入、矿产权的转让等,我们要全面审计,要通过一系列的制度性措施,让权力寻租行为、让腐败现象无藏身之地。谢谢。
Corruption is the natural enemy of a people’s government.We must apply the rule of law in both thinking and action in fighting corruption.And we must put the exercise of power and use of public money under institutional check.This year, we will continue to streamline administration and delegate government power.We are going to release to the public a list of powers as quickly as possible and set down a clear boundary for the exercise of power to prevent power abuse.We will also carry out comprehensive audits in those areas which are of high concern to the public, including the revenue on the transfer of land use rights and transfer of mining rights.We will take institutional steps to ensure that rent-seeking behaviors and corruption have nowhere to hide.[新加坡《联合早报》记者]去年中国领导人频繁访问周边国家,提出了新的周边外交理念与合作倡议,但本区域仍然存在一些分歧和矛盾。请问您怎么看待中国与周边关系的前景?谢谢。
Lianhe Zaobao of Singapore: Last year, Chinese leaders visited many neighboring countries and put forward new vision on China’s neighborhood diplomacy and cooperation initiatives.But still there exist some disputes and differences in China’s neighborhood.I would like to ask how do you see China’s future relations with its neighbors? [李克强]你的中文就更标准了,但是还是需要再翻译一次。中国是个发展中国家,实现现代化是13亿人民的共同意志,这需要有和平稳定的周边和国际环境。我记得去年记者会快结束的时候,我说过,中国走和平发展道路的决心是坚定不移的,维护国家主权和领土完整的意志也是不可动摇的。两者归结起来还是要维护稳定,为发展创造良好环境。早在60年前,中国和一些周边国家,就共同倡议和平共处五项原则,四邻周边有时候难免有磕磕碰碰的情况,但是只要我们相互尊重、管控分歧、互利互惠,碰出的应该是和谐的声音,而不是刺耳的噪音。
Li Keqiang: You speak mandarin even better.But still we need the translation.I hope to have your understanding.China is still a developing country.To achieve modernization of the country represents the common aspiration of the 1.3 billion Chinese people.This requires a peaceful and stable neighboring and international environment.I recall that approaching the end of last year’s press conference, I once said that China has an abiding commitment to pursuing peaceful development.We also have an unshakable will in safeguarding China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.These two points are both for the sake of upholding stability and creating a favorable environment for China’s development.As early as 60 years ago, China and some of its neighbors had jointly initiated the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence.When neighbors interact with each other, it’s only natural that sometimes they will run into problems of one kind or another.But as long as they respect each other, properly manage differences and pursue mutual benefit, there will be harmonious sounds instead of jarring noises.你的问题让我回想起去年访问东盟国家,比如到越南,我和越南领导人达成海上共同开发、陆上合作、金融合作三头并进的原则共识以后,也想听听民间的反应。我就晚上趁工作之余,到了一家小店,那个女店主当时就认出我了,她说欢迎中国客人来,我想这也是给她带来生意啊。我就问她你怎么看邻国的关系?她说还是和平友好吧。和平友好、和平共处,我想这是四邻百姓的愿望,我们需要一起努力,来扩大利益的交汇点,缩小矛盾点,这样就可以和睦相处,也是造福民众。谢谢。
Your question reminds me of my visit to some ASEAN countries last year.During my visit in Vietnam, I reached principled consensus with the Vietnamese leaders about China-Vietnam cooperation in maritime joint development, on the land and in the financial sector.I was curious about how the ordinary people would think about this.So later in the evening, I took some time out of the schedule and visited a small local shop.The shopowner instantly recognized me and she said that she would like to have more Chinese customers.They would bring more businesses to her shop.I asked her how she thought about China’s relationship with its neighbors.She said there should be peace and friendship.Peace, friendship and peaceful co-existence, I believe, represent the common aspirations of all people in China and its neighbors.As long as we all work together to expand common interests and narrow differences, we can live with each other in harmony, bringing greater benefits to our people.[英国路透社记者]想请教总理,有一个经济问题。中国经济去年增长7.7%。请问总理,您上任一年最大的挑战、最大的困难是什么?再有就是您觉得亟待解决的问题还有哪些?谢谢。
Reuters: China’s economy grew at 7.7% last year.In the past year since you became Chinese premier, what do you think is the biggest challenge and difficulty and what are the pressing issues that need to be resolved? [李克强]我确实很佩服你们这些驻华记者,能这么流利地说中文。要说去年最大的挑战,那还是经济下行压力加大的挑战。一度中国的中央财政收入出现负增长,金融领域还有所谓“钱荒”,银行间隔夜拆借利率超过了13%,而且用电量、货运量的增幅也大幅回落。国际上也出现了一些舆论,说中国经济可能要硬着陆,还给出了指标,说增长可能只有3%到4%。而对我们来说,财政和货币政策运用空间又很有限,宏观调控确实面临多难选择。怎么办?遇万难还须放胆。当然破困局要用智慧,我们保持定力,创新宏观调控的思路和方式,明确了经济运行的合理区间,就是增长和就业不能越出下限,通胀不能突破上限,而且着力促改革、调结构,让市场发力。正是在以习近平同志为核心的党中央领导下,经过全国人民的共同奋斗,我们顶住压力,实现了经济社会发展的主要预期目标。Li Keqiang: I truly admire all these resident journalists of foreign media in China for speaking Chinese so well.The biggest challenge last year was the increased downward pressure on our economy.Central government revenue registered negative growth at one point.There was the so-called “money squeeze” in the financial sector last June.Inter-bank lending rate exceeded 13%.And there was a slump in the growth of electricity consumption and cargo transport volume.There was this view in the international community that the Chinese economy would suffer a hard landing and China’s growth would drop to 3-4%.Moreover, we had only very limited room for manoeuvre in carrying out fiscal and monetary policies, and we were faced with multiple tough choices in exercising macro-control.Under such conditions, what should we do? When confronted with mounting challenges, one needs to show guts.To tackle a difficult situation, one needs to have wisdom.We held our ground.We pursued creative thinking and ways in exercising macro-control and set a proper range for China’s economic operation.That is to say, we worked to ensure that GDP growth and employment would not slide below the lower limit and inflation would not exceed the upper limit.We focused our efforts on boosting reform and making structural adjustment to ensure that the market will play a strong role.Under the leadership of the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as General Secretary and thanks to the concerted efforts of the entire Chinese people, we faced the pressure down and met our targets.现在我们看得更多的是困难和问题。今年挑战依然严峻,而且可能会更加复杂。我们既要稳增长、保就业,又要防通胀、控风险,还要提质增效,治理污染,多重目标的实现需要找一个合理的平衡点,这可以说是高难度的动作。但凡事不患难,但患无备。所谓磨好了斧子才能劈开柴。我想只要我们正视困难、直面挑战、趋利避害,就是遇事克难的成功之道。我们有去年应对经济下行的经历,中国经济又有着巨大的潜能和韧性,我们有能力也有条件使今年经济运行保持在合理区间。谢谢。
Now what is on top of our mind is the existing difficulties and problems.We will confront serious challenges this year, and some may be even more complex.We need to keep steady growth, ensure employment, avert inflation and defuse risks.We also need to raise the quality and efficiency of China’s economic development and tackle pollution.So we need to strike a proper balance amidst all these goals and objectives.This is not going to be easy.But the thing we have to fear is not the difficulty itself, but lack of preparedness, just as only a sharpened axe can cut through firewood.We will face up to the difficulties and challenges and make the most of the favorable conditions while averting unfavorable ones.This holds the secret to our success.Moreover, we gained good experience from handling the economic downturn last year, and the Chinese economy has tremendous potential and resilience.So I believe we have the ability and conditions to keep the economic operation within a proper range this year.[中央电视台、中国网络电视台记者]总理您好。我注意到您在之前回答记者提问的时候说到今年要继续推进简政放权,所以我想就这个话题请您展开来给我们具体谈一谈。因为我们看到这个话题也是您在去年的记者会和今年的报告当中特别强调的一点,关于这一点在采访的时候我听到大家对这项改革有很多的好评,但是说实话我们也听到了不少的抱怨,比如说现在在有的部门依然还存在着办事难的现象,有的部门可能是把次要的权放出去了,但是重要的权还留着。所以我特别想请问总理,关于简政放权的措施您认为怎么样才能真正地落到实处,要减到什么样的程度这项改革任务才算是基本完成了?谢谢。CCTV: In last year’s press conference and this year’s government work report, you laid special stress on streamlining administration and delegating powers.In our reporting activities we have heard much praise from the society about this reform initiative.Yet at the same time we have also heard complaints among the people that it is still difficult to get things done in some governmental departments.And some governmental departments may have released some less important powers, but still hold on to those more important ones.How to ensure that this reform initiative will be fully implemented? And to what extent can we say this reform task has been completed? [李克强]去年,中央政府把简政放权作为改革的先手棋,我们确实下了不少的力气,到现在一年的时间,仅中央政府下放取消的审批事项就有416项。更重要的是它释放了一个强烈的信号,给企业松绑、让市场发力。结果企业找政府的少了,地方跑北京的少了,有个统计数字也可以表明这激发了市场的活力。去年新注册企业增加了27.6%,其中私营企业新增30%,这是十多年来最高的。这也表明简政放权是激发市场活力、调动社会创造力的利器,是减少权力寻租、铲除腐败的釜底抽薪之策。十八届三中全会提出,要让市场在资源配置中发挥决定性作用和更好发挥政府作用,我想简政放权是重要的突破口、切入点。
Li Keqiang: Last year, the Chinese government took streamlining administration and delegating power as the top priority on its reform agenda.With tremendous efforts, the central government has abolished or delegated to lower-level governments 416 items subject to State Council review and approval.This has sent out a very strong signal that we will loosen the straitjacket over enterprises and let the market play a strong role.As a result, fewer enterprises find it necessary to turn to the government and fewer local governments find it necessary to turn to the central government.This reform initiative has tremendously boosted market dynamism as shown in the following statistics: The number of newly registered businesses last year increased by 27.6%, among which the number of newly registered private businesses increased by 30%, the highest in over ten years.This shows that streamlining administration and delegating power is a powerful tool in energizing the market and stimulating social creativity.It is also the fundamental solution for cutting rent-seeking behavior and uprooting corruption.It was decided at the Third Plenum of the 18th CPC Central Committee that the market will play a decisive role in allocating resources and the government should better play its role.Streamlining administration and delegating powers is an important starting point in this direction.当然,放并不是说政府就不管了,我们讲的是放管结合。要让政府有更多的精力来完善和创新宏观调控,尤其是加强事中事后的监管。对一些搞坑蒙拐骗、假冒伪劣、侵犯知识产权、蓄意污染环境,违背市场公平竞争原则的行为,那就要严加监管、严厉惩处。放管结合都要体现公平原则。当然,我们在推进简政放权当中,也确实遇到了像避重就轻、中间梗阻、最后一公里不通畅等问题。开了弓哪还有回头箭?我们只能是一抓到底、一往无前。我们还要继续去啃“硬骨头”,至于说到什么程度满意,那就是正确地处理好政府和市场的关系,市场经济也是法治经济,我们要努力做到让市场主体“法无禁止即可为”,让政府部门“法无授权不可为”,调动千千万万人的积极性,为中国经济的发展不断地注入新动力。谢谢。
Delegation of power does not mean that the government will stay out of everything.What we need is both power delegation and tightened oversight.This way, the government can have extra energy to focus on pursuing creative and better macro-control.In particular, supervision over these delegated matters should be tightened when these matters are being handled and after they have been handled.Such behaviors as cheating and swindling of marketplace, making and selling of fake or substandard goods, violation of intellectual property rights, polluting activities and those activities that obstruct fair market competition will be put under rigorous oversight and severely punished.The principle of equity should be reflected in both power delegation and tightened oversight.I am aware that in the course of power delegation there have been such problems as a perfunctory attitude, midway obstruction or power delegation getting stuck in the last mile.But how can an arrow shot be turned back? We are determined to see this reform through.We are prepared to take on tough challenges in pursuing this reform initiative.As to what extent will we feel satisfied, we will keep up this reform until there is a proper relationship between the government and the market.The market economy is one based on the rule of law.We need to ensure that market entities can do anything which is not prohibited by the law, and government departments cannot do anything unless it is mandated by the law, so as to mobilize the initiative of all sides and add new impetus to the growth of the Chinese economy.[美国消费者新闻与商业频道记者]许多投资者认为,今年中国经济的增长会继续放缓,会低于确定的7.5%增长目标。在不采取更多刺激政策的前提下,您所能接受的最低增速是多少?
CNBC: Many investors believe that China’s growth rate this year could be slower and lower than the official rate of 7.5%.What is the slowest rate of growth you would find acceptable without stimulating the economy? [李克强]我刚才讲了,一些关于中国经济偏悲观的报道我看到了,而且也注意了。我们在去年并没有采取短期刺激政策的情况下能够实现经济预期目标,为什么今年不可以呢?当然,我不否认今年可能会有更复杂的因素,我们之所以把经济增长率定在7.5%左右,考虑的还是保就业、惠民生,增加城乡居民收入。我们更注重的是数字背后的民生、增长背后的就业。这使我想到上个月23号,G20,也就是20国集团的财长和央行行长会议发布了一个公报,提出要在原有政策可达到的水平上,把GDP在5年内再提高2个百分点,以增加就业。在我的印象当中,G20这么说可能还是第一次,这表明主要经济体更加看重增长和就业的关系。
Li Keqiang: As I said before, I am aware of those pessimistic reports about the Chinese economy.Last year, without taking additional short-term stimulus measures, we succeeded in meeting the economic target.Why can’t we do it this year? There is no denying that we may encounter a more complex situation this year.We have set this year’s GDP growth target at around 7.5%.What we have on our mind is to ensure employment, improve people’s lives and increase urban and rural incomes.What we care more about is the livelihood of our people behind a GDP figure and employment behind GDP growth.On 23 February, the G20 Finance Ministers and Central Governors Meeting issued a communiqué.It said that the G20 will work to raise its collective GDP by 2% within five years based on the current trajectory in order to add jobs.As far as I recall, this is the first time the G20 set such a target.That shows all major economies value the role of growth in generating jobs.没有就业就没有收入,也难以增加社会财富。我在基层曾经访问过一些“零就业”家庭,一个家庭没有一个人就业,真是毫无生气,没有希望。现在我们全国每年要新增城镇劳动力就业1000万人以上,还要给六七百万新增的农村劳动力进城务工留有一定的空间,所以要有合理的GDP增速。当然,我们既然说GDP增长的预期目标是7.5%左右。左右嘛,就是有弹性的,高一点,低一点,我们是有容忍度的。至于你说可以接受的下限是什么,那就是这个GDP必须保证比较充分的就业,使居民收入有增长。我们不片面追求GDP,但是我们还是需要贴近老百姓的GDP,提高质量效益、节能环保的GDP。谢谢。Without a job, there is no source of income and it will be difficult to increase social wealth.I once visited some zero-employment families.When none of the family members has a job, the entire family is listless and hopeless.Each year we need to add over 10 million urban jobs and leave room for about six to seven million rural migrant workers to come to get employed in cities.Therefore we need appropriate GDP growth.We set the GDP growth target for this year at about 7.5%.This “about” means that there is a level of flexibility here.You asked me what is the lowest GDP growth that we can live with.This GDP growth needs to ensure fairly full employment and realize reasonable increase of people’s income.We are not preoccupied with GDP growth.The GDP growth we want is one that brings real benefits to our people, helps raise the quality and efficiency of economic development and contributes to energy conservation and environmental protection.[香港商报记者]请问总理,很多香港的民众都认为,面对周边国家和地区的快速发展,有很多人都认为香港竞争优势遭到了很大的弱化,请问总理怎么看香港的发展前景?谢谢。Hong Kong Commercial Daily: As neighboring countries and regions grow fast, many people in Hong Kong feel that the Hong Kong’s competitive edge is declining.How do you see the future prospects of Hong Kong’s development?
[李克强]这几年,世界经济可以说是跌宕起伏,在这种严峻复杂的环境下,香港能够站住脚跟,保持繁荣,本身就表明香港经济有竞争力。香港在祖国内地改革开放和现代化建设中,作出了重要贡献,我们现在全面深化改革,促进经济升级,也给香港发展带来更大的空间。中央对港澳的政策是一贯的、明确的,中央政府也会继续支持香港,保持并且提升国际金融贸易航运中心的地位。内地在进一步扩大开放服务业,香港在这方面是有专业优势的,近水楼台可以先得月,我相信香港同胞历来是有着敢拼能赢的精神,会在未来全球竞争中保持竞争优势,保持繁荣。谢谢。Li Keqiang: There has been much volatility in the global economy in recent years.Under such grave and complex conditions, Hong Kong has stood firm and maintained prosperity.I believe this shows Hong Kong has kept its competitive edge.Hong Kong has made important contributions to the reform, opening up and modernization drive on the mainland.The comprehensive deepening of reform and economic upgrading of China will also open up broad space for Hong Kong’s development.The central government’s policy towards Hong Kong and Macao is consistent and clear-cut.The central government will continue to support Hong Kong in maintaining and elevating its status as an international financial, trading and shipping center.The mainland is opening up its service sector, and Hong Kong has a leading edge in this field.“A pavilion close to the pond will get the moonlight first.” With Hong Kong people’s enterprising spirit, I have confidence that Hong Kong will keep its competitive edge and maintain prosperity amidst future global competition.[美联社记者]我想请问李总理,您如何评价中美关系的现状,如果要进一步提升双边关系水平的话,两国面临的障碍有哪些?中方希望美方做出哪些改变?谢谢。
Associated Press: Mr.Premier, how do you comment on the current state of China-US relationship? In order to further raise the level of China-US ties, what do you think are the obstacles in the way and what change does China wish to see on the part of the United States? [李克强]中美关系实质上是世界上最大的发展中国家和最大的发达国家之间的关系。去年习近平主席和奥巴马总统在加州庄园会晤达成构建新型大国关系的重要共识,那就是互不冲突、互利共赢。当然,中美因为历史文化背景不同,发展阶段不同,对一些问题存在分歧,这是客观的,在合作当中有摩擦也是事实,但这是合作中的“烦恼”。我们只要相互尊重,尊重对方的核心利益和重大关切,管控好分歧,平等磋商,尤其是注意扩大中美的共同利益,就可以提升中美关系的水平。中美的共同利益可以说是远远大于分歧,去年我们双边贸易额达到5200多亿美元,粗略算的话,每一个工作小时,中美之间可能有1亿美元的生意已经做成了。何况我们现在还正在进行中美投资协定的谈判,中美合作的潜力巨大,要在增强互补性上多做文章。所谓智者求同,愚者求异,变是向有利于中美双方、有利于两国关系稳定的方向去走,还是要择宽处行,谋长久之利。谢谢。
Li Keqiang: The China-US relationship, in essence, is a relationship between the largest developing country and largest developed country in the world.Last year, President Xi Jinping and President Obama had a meeting in California and reached the important consensus of building a new model of major-country relationship between China and the United States.This relationship has the defining feature of non-conflict, non-confrontation, mutual respect and win-win cooperation.China and the United States are different in history, culture and stage of development.So it’s only natural that these two countries have some differences and there are also some frictions in their cooperation.But these are pains amidst growing cooperation.As long as the two sides respect each other’s core interests and major concerns, properly manage differences and engage in equal consultations, in particular, continue to expand their converging interests, they can further raise the level of this relationship.China and the United States are different in history, culture and stage of development.So it’s only natural that these two countries have some differences and there are also some frictions in their cooperation.But these are pains amidst growing cooperation.As long as the two sides respect each other’s core interests and major concerns, properly manage differences and engage in equal consultations, in particular, continue to expand their converging interests, they can further raise the level of this relationship.[中国日报记者]总理您好。您在报告里讲改革要有壮士断腕的决心、背水一战的气概,还要抓住牵一发动全身的举措,那么今年您觉得最应该从哪些领域突破?谢谢总理。China Daily: In your government work report, you said that the government will pursue reform with utmost determination and focus on those reform steps that will have an overall impact.I would like to ask: what is the top priority on the government reform agenda this year? [李克强]党的十八届三中全会提出要全面深化改革,也就是要把改革贯穿到经济社会发展的各个领域、各个环节。我回想了一下,去年以来国务院开了40次常务会议,其中有30次是研究改革相关的议题,即使是其他议题我们也是在用改革的精神研究和推进的。其基本取向那就是让市场发力、激活社会的创造力,政府尽应尽的责任,让人民受惠。这也使我回想起30多年前,我在农村作村干部,那时候起早贪黑,恨不得把每个劳动力当天干什么都给定下来,结果呢?到头来就是吃不饱肚子。后来搞承包制,放开搞活,农民自己决定干什么、怎么种,几年时间温饱问题就解决了。当然,我们现在推进全面深化改革,实现目标要有个过程,但古人说“吾道一以贯之”,只要我们锲而不舍,假以时日,必有成效。
Li Keqiang: It was decided at the third Plenum of the 18th CPC Central Committee that we will pursue a comprehensive deepening of reform in China.This means that reform will be carried out in all areas of China’s economic and social development.Since last year, the State Council has altogether convened 40 executive meetings.Thirty of them are directly related to reform topics.And the rest of the topics are also studied and pursued with the spirit of reform.The ultimate goal of reform is to energize the market and stimulate creativity of the society.The government needs to perform its duties well to bring benefits to the people.Your question reminds me of those days I spent in a rural village as a cadre more than 30 years ago.During that time, I worked very hard around the clock.I was anxious to plan out the share of work for each and every villager for the day.But still, with all the hard work, we still didn’t have enough to eat.But later, land was contracted to local villagers, past restrictions were lifted, and peasants were able to decide for themselves what they wanted to grow on the contracted land and what they wanted to do.In just a few years’ time, food and clothing was no longer a problem.To comprehensively deepen reform in China will take time.But our ancestors believe that one needs to be persistent in one’s pursuit of the objective.With persistent efforts over time, I believe we will be able to achieve our goal.我们要全面深化改革,但是也要抓牵牛鼻子的改革,在重点领域要有所突破。今年我们还要继续推进简政放权,让市场发力,有效规范地发挥作用;还要把财税金融改革作为重头戏,包括给小微企业减免税费方面有新的举措,给市场助力;以结构改革推进结构调整,深化国企改革,发展混合所有制经济,放宽市场准入,尤其是在服务业领域,像医疗、养老、金融等,让市场增强竞争力。诸多的改革我在政府工作报告当中都说了,这里就不再赘述了,关键还在于推进落实。当然,改革会触动利益、会动“奶酪”,你放权,有些人的权就少了。放宽市场准入,增强市场竞争力,现有的一些企业就会感到压力。但是为了释放改革红利,尤其是让广大人民受惠,我们义无反顾。谢谢。
In the course of comprehensively deepening reform, we certainly need to stay focused on key reform initiatives, and seek breakthroughs in key areas.This year, we will continue to streamline administration and delegate power to let the market fully play its role in an effective and well-regulated manner.We will take fiscal, tax and financial reforms as priorities.For example, new steps will be taken to ease the tax burden on micro and small businesses to boost market vitality.We will pursue structural reform to boost structural adjustment.In this area, we will deepen reform of state-owned enterprises, vigorously develop a mixed-ownership economy and ease market access, especially in the service sector, such as health care, old-age support and financial services to boost market competition.I have set out in detail the reform initiatives we are going to take this year in my government work report.I will not elaborate on it here.The crucial thing is to ensure that all reform measures will be fully implemented.In the course of reform, the vested interests will be shaken up and some people’s cheese will be moved, so to speak.For example, in the course of power delegation, some government departments will find fewer powers in their hands.In boosting market competition and easing market access, some existing companies will feel greater pressure.But in order to further release the dividends of reform and bring greater benefits to our people, we will carry through the reform without hesitation.[台湾东森电视台记者]总理,您好。我们都知道两岸现在迎来了一个好的机遇,在今年过完年之后,两岸主管事务部门负责人见了面,而且习主席也与中国国民党荣誉主席连战见面,并且发表了重要谈话。我的问题是,两岸现在的交流以及互动非常密切,大家也非常希望两岸关系有新的突破。请问您对新的一年两岸关系发展有什么样的期待?谢谢。ETTV of Taiwan: We now see a great opportunity for further growth of cross-Straits relations.Shortly after the Chinese New Year, the competent departments of the two sides of the Taiwan Straits held a meeting.General Secretary Xi Jinping met with KMT Honorary Chairman Lien Chan, and made important remarks on cross-Straits relations.There has been very close exchange and cooperation between the two sides of the Taiwan Straits.People on both sides hope to see new breakthrough in cross-Straits ties.What is your expectation for cross-Straits ties this year? [李克强]两岸是手足同胞,一家人,此话可以说常讲常新。你刚才列举了两岸关系进展的一些事实,我也想讲一件很有趣的事。去年两岸的媒体共同把“进”字作为两岸年度汉字。这个字可以说反映了两岸关系和平发展的趋势,也反映了两岸民众的期待,我也期待着在新的一年两岸关系有新的进展,再进一步。我认为两岸关系中重要的内容是人员往来和经贸合作。去年两岸人员往来已经突破800万人次,创历史新高,希望继续保持这样一个好势头。两岸还在就ECFA后续协议进行商谈,希望早出成果,造福两岸的民众和有关企业。借此机会也请你转达我对台湾同胞新的一年的祝福。谢谢。
Li Keqiang: People on both sides of the Taiwan Straits are compatriots and members of one family.This is always true and highly relevant.Just now, you mentioned a few important events in the recent development of cross-Straits ties.Let me also share one interesting anecdote.Last year, media of the two sides of the Taiwan Straits jointly selected the Chinese character “进”, or “progress” in English, as “Chinese Character of the Year”.I believe this shows the trend of peaceful development of cross-Straits relations and represents the common wish of people on both sides.I hope to see even greater and new progress in cross-Straits ties this year.I believe people-to-people exchange and business cooperation are important components of cross-Straits relations.Last year, over 8 million visits were exchanged between people of the two sides, reaching a new high.We hope such good momentum will be kept.Moreover, the two sides are also in consultation of a follow-up to the Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement(ECFA).We hope to see early results out of the consultations so that greater benefits can be delivered to people and businesses of both sides.Please also convey my New Year greetings to our Taiwan compatriots.[新华社和新华网记者]总理你好,房地产问题一直是社会持续关注的问题,今年两会上也有代表委员提了很多的建议和意见。那么请问总理,政府在这方面有没有什么新的思路和新的举措?谢谢。
Xinhua News Agency: The housing issue has always been a hot topic among the Chinese society.During this year’s two sessions, many deputies and members put forward their suggestions and views on this topic.I would like to ask what will be the new ideas and measures of the government on this issue? [李克强]房地产问题是个大问题,它直接关系到居民住房问题。让人民群众住有所居,这应该是政府奋斗的目标。我们需要根据不同人群的需求,不同城市的情况,分类施策、分城施策。政府还是要用更多的精力、更大的力度来解决好群众的基本住房需求问题。现在我们国家城镇集中连片的棚户区还居住着上亿人,可以说不具备基本的生存条件。几百个人一个旱厕,特别是北方,到了冬天居民入睡要带着棉帽、穿着棉衣,这可以说是政府心头之痛。所以今年我们要继续加大棚户区改造的力度,至少要再改造470万套以上。当然,我们也要推进公租房等保障房建设,并且实行公平分配,让新就业的年轻人和长期进城务工的人员缓解住房困难。在这方面,我认为干一寸胜过说一尺。对于合理的自住需求,也要有相应的政策支持,包括增加普通商品房供应。对房地产市场则是要因城因地分类进行调控,抑制投机投资性需求,重在建立长效机制,促进房地产市场平稳健康发展。谢谢。Li Keqiang: The real estate issue is a big issue, as it directly concerns home of the people.The goal of the government is to ensure adequate housing for the people.We need to take differential measures in response to diverse needs and in light of different situations in different cities.I believe the government needs to focus on and do more to meet the people’s basic housing needs.Now, up to 100 million people still live in those contiguous poor urban rundown areas, and these people lack their basic living conditions.For example, several hundred people have to share one toilet, and in places in Northern China, people have to wear cotton-padded coats and hats when they go to sleep on a winter night.This is deeply distressing for the government.We will rebuild more rundown areas this year, and the goal is to rebuild at least over 4.7 million rundown houses.At the same time, we will also build more government-subsidized housing, such as public rental housing to ease the housing difficulty of those young people who have just entered workforce and rural migrant workers, and ensure that these housing units will be distributed equitably.In this regard, even a small action is a lot more important than a thousand words.There will be policy support for reasonable housing needs for self-living.The government will increase the supply of ordinary commercial housing.We will take a differential approach in regulating the housing market for different places.We will curb the housing needs for speculation and investment purposes, and establish a long-term mechanism to promote steady and sound growth of the housing market.[中央人民广播之声和央广网记者]总理,您好。我的问题是关于雾霾天气。现在我们看到老百姓对雾霾的抱怨越来越多。我们也注意到,您在政府工作报告中对此用了“宣战”这个词,这在以往是没有的。请问总理,“宣战”到底意味着什么?
China National Radio: There has been growing public complaint about smog.In your government work report, you said the government will declare war against pollution.I wish to ask you what do you mean by that? [李克强]我说要向雾霾等污染宣战,这是因为这是社会关注的焦点问题。许多人早晨一起来,就打开手机查看PM2.5的数值,这已经成为重大的民生问题。我们说要向雾霾等污染宣战,可不是说向老天爷宣战,而是要向我们自身粗放的生产和生活方式来宣战。我们去年出台了国务院治理大气污染的十条措施,在161个城市进行PM2.5数值的监测,这在发展中国家是最多的。这不仅是要让人民群众提高自身防护的意识,更是给政府增加责任。今年我们主动加压,加大降耗力度,也就是确定能源消耗强度要下降3.9%,而去年实际完成是下降3.7%,这意味着要减少2.2亿吨煤炭消耗。
Li Keqiang: I said the government will declare war against smog and pollution as a whole, because this has become a serious issue on the top of the minds of our people.For many people, the first thing they do after getting up in the morning is to check the PM2.5 figure for the day.This has become a major issue that concerns our people’s lives.To declare war against smog and other pollution doesn’t mean that we are declaring war against Nature.Rather, what we mean is that we are going to declare war against our own inefficient and unsustainable model of growth and way of life.Last year, the State Council issued a ten-point plan of action on the prevention and control of air pollution.We now conduct PM2.5 monitoring in 161 cities across the country, which is the most extensive scope among all developing countries.This is not just a reminder for our people to take precautionary measures, but also placing additional responsibility on the shoulder of the government.This year we will take further measures.For example, we have set the target of cutting energy intensity by 3.9% on top of the 3.7% reduction we achieved last year.This is equivalent to cutting coal burning by 220 million tons.对包括雾霾在内的污染宣战,就要铁腕治污加铁规治污,对那些违法偷排、伤天害人的行为,政府绝不手软,要坚决予以惩处。对那些熟视无睹、监管不到位的监管者要严肃追查责任。当然,雾霾的形成有复杂的原因,治理也是一个长期的过程。但是我们不能等风盼雨,还是要主动出击,希望全社会,政府、企业、社会成员,大家一起努力,持续不懈地奋斗,来打这场攻坚战。谢谢。
In fighting pollution, we need both tough measures and tough regulations.The government will severely punish those illegal emitting activities which harm both nature and human health.And those overseeing agencies which turn a blind eye to polluting activities and fail to perform their overseeing duties will be held accountable.There are complex causes for smog and to tackle this problem will take a long time.But we cannot sit here and wait for wind or rain to drive smog away.We have to take action ourselves.I hope that the government, the businesses and each and every individual of the society will act together and make persistent efforts to win this tough battle against smog.It’s almost time for lunch, but the moderator hopes that I take two more questions.Would you like that? Fine, I’m happy to oblige.快到吃饭时间了,但是主持人希望再问两个问题,大家愿意吗?那好吧,我服从公众。It’s almost time for lunch, but the moderator hopes that I take two more questions.Would you like that? Fine, I’m happy to oblige.[荷兰国际新闻电视台记者]去年您访问了多个欧洲国家,您亲自介入了解决中欧之间关于光伏产品的贸易纠纷,同时访问期间,您还亲自推介中国的核电以及高铁装备。请问您希望如何解决中国企业进入欧洲市场方面存在的一些障碍?同时中国政府将采取什么措施来解决欧洲方面对欧洲公司进入中国市场的关切?
RTL 4: Premier Li, you went to Europe last year to solve the solar panel dispute and also to promote Chinese nuclear power equipments and Chinese high-speed rail.I’d like to know your thoughts on what kind of obstacles you think should be removed for Chinese companies who want to do business in Europe.And in return, how will you address the European concerns about market access to China? [李克强]推介中国的产品,维护中国企业在海外的正当权益,这是作为中国总理份内的事。我去年访问中东欧的时候,曾经跟他们的领导人说,如果你要建高铁、核电,在同等质量下,用中国的装备可能是建设最快、成本最低的,我有这个底气。中国的经济要升级,出口产品也要升级,我们不能总是卖鞋袜、衣帽、玩具,当然这也需要,但中国装备走出去可以在世界市场上接受竞争的检验,提质升级。而且这样做也有利于各方,因为我们装备的很多零件是全球采购的,一些技术也是购买来的,中欧和相关方面,就装备走出去进行合作可以实现互利共赢。
Li Keqiang: To promote Chinese products and safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese companies overseas is part of my job as Chinese Premier.During my visit to central and eastern Europe last year, I once said to leaders of these countries that of all the high-speed railways and nuclear power plants of the same quality, the Chinese companies can deliver in the fastest way and at the lowest cost.I have such confidence.In upgrading the Chinese economy, we also need to upgrade Chinese exports.We cannot just export toys, apparel or shoes, although they are also necessary.We also need to export Chinese equipment to help Chinese equipment raise its competitiveness as they are tested on the international market.This is also a win-win situation, as among exports of Chinese equipment, many components and parts are sourced globally and some technologies are introduced from overseas.So this brings benefits to all.不过我还想通过各位向中国企业转达一句话:你们可是要尽力啊,我们对中国装备质量等做了承诺,可不要让这个承诺落空啊。请中外记者给予监督。至于你说到去年的光伏案,中欧作为最大的贸易伙伴,规模很大,摩擦难免发生,但是只要我们相互尊重,妥善地协商,是可以解决问题的。像最后光伏案的解决,可以说是成功的案例。我可不希望因为个案,而且比例很小,来丢掉“中欧是最大贸易伙伴”的帽子。说到中欧关系,我还要说,中欧都主张世界多极化,也主张投资便利化。中欧企业相互进入、相互投资,这是大趋势。我们现在正在进行中欧投资协定谈判,相信在中欧投资协定谈判的进程当中,只要我们对等、公平、便利地推进,为企业创造条件,中欧的相互投资额会不断地攀升,经济的融合度也会不断地加深。谢谢。
Here through you, I wish to convey a message to the Chinese companies.That is: you need to do your best.We have given our word for the quality of Chinese equipment.I hope you will not prove us wrong, and the Chinese and foreign journalists can supervise.You mentioned the trade dispute over photovoltaic products last year.China and the EU are each other’s largest trading partners.It is only natural that there will be some trade frictions between them given the large size of their trade.But as long as the two sides respect each other and engage in proper consultations, problems can be solved.And settlement of last year’s photovoltaic products case is a success story.I don’t want to see that one loses the status of “biggest trading partner” because of those individual cases which account for only a very small percentage of the two-way trade.Talking about China-EU relations, I want to say that both China and the EU are strong advocates of a multi-polar world and investment facilitation.I believe it is an irresistible trend for Chinese and European companies to enter into each other’s markets and make mutual investment.The two sides are now negotiating an investment treaty.I believe that as long as the two sides conduct the negotiation in a fair, reciprocal and facilitating way and create conditions for companies of both sides, there will be even greater mutual investment and deeper economic integration between China and Europe.[中国国际广播之声和国际在线网记者]总理,您好。最近网上民调显示,社会保障是网民关注的热点之一。去年您就提出要打造民生保障的安全网。请问总理,在这方面有哪些进展和新的打算?谢谢。
China Radio International: A recent opinion poll shows that social security is one of the hot topics among Chinese netizens.Last year, you said that China will build a social safety net to improve people’s livelihood.How has this been progressing and is there any new plan in this regard? [李克强]社会关注的热点问题,尤其是民生问题,应该是政府工作的重点。今年要着重继续做三件事,就是保基本、兜底线、促公平。第一是保基本。也就是说要在义务教育、基本医疗、基本养老、住房等诸多方面来构建一个完整的社会保障安全网。我们现在基本医保已经总体覆盖全民了,基本养老的参与人数也超过8亿人。但是群众还有反映,比如接续难、转移难这些问题,我们要继续巩固和扩大这些基本的社会保障。今年适当时候要提高基本养老金的标准,而且要解决或者说逐步解决碎片化的问题,整合城乡医保,推进养老保险并轨,构建统筹城乡的社会保障网。
Li Keqiang: Topics of high concern to the people, in particular those related to people’s livelihood, represent priorities on the government work agenda.This year, we have three major tasks.Namely, we need to meet people’s basic living needs.We need to provide a last resort for people to fall back on in case of special difficulty.And we need to promote social fairness.First, we need to ensure people’s basic living needs.We will build a comprehensive social safety net covering, among others, compulsory education, medical care, old-age support and housing.Our basic medical insurance schemes have achieved full coverage.Now basic old-age insurance schemes cover more than 800 million people.We need to make them truly portable and transferable, and further expand their coverage.We will raise the basic pension benefits at an appropriate time this year, and tackle the problem of fragmentation in due course.That is to say, we need to further integrate old-age and medical insurance schemes in urban and rural areas to put in place an integrated social safety net for the entire population.第二是兜底线。因为国力所限,我们基本保障的标准还是低水平的,总会有一部分人因病、因灾等特殊原因陷入生活的窘境,基本保障兜不住,还要进行社会救助。我们绝不能让无家可归、因贫弃医等现象频发。将心比心啊,政府工作人员应该以百姓之心为心。所以前不久我们出台了新的社会救助管理办法,就是要让这些特殊困难群众求助有门。第三是促公平。我们保基本、兜底线,还是要为了解除人民群众就业、创业的后顾之忧,还是要采取措施,尤其在一些领域要有更有效的办法,让就业、求职机会公平,让创业有公平竞争的环境,特别要注重起点公平,也就是教育公平。我们要继续增加农村贫困地区的学生上重点高校的人数,今年要增加10%以上,并且要加大农村贫困地区薄弱学校改造的力度。政府就是应该创造条件,让每个人都通过自己的奋斗有公平发展的机会,我们要把公正贯彻到社会的最底层。谢谢。
Second, we need to provide a last resort for people to fall back on in time of special difficulty.As China is still a developing country, our basic welfare benefits are still quite low.But there are these people in the society who run into special difficulty because of serious illnesses or sudden disasters.In such circumstances, basic welfare benefits are no longer enough.They are in need of social assistance.The government must prevent frequent occurrence of such instances in which people become homeless or have to give up seeking medical treatment because they cannot afford it.Just imagine what if such situation happens to ourselves.All government employees must always put such special needs of the people on top of their mind.Therefore, not long ago, we introduced new methods on providing social aid to ensure that people who run into special difficulty will have somewhere to turn to.Third, we need to promote social fairness.The above-mentioned two major tasks are designed to ensure that our people won’t have any worries in seeking employment and starting one’s own business.The government needs to take more effective steps to ensure equal opportunities in finding jobs and level the playing field for people to start their own businesses.The government needs to pay particular attention to ensuring fairness at the starting point, namely, fairness in education.This year we will raise the proportion of rural students from poor areas enrolled in key colleges and universities by over 10%.We will also further improve those poorly-built and low-performing schools in poor rural areas.In a word, the government needs to create conditions to ensure that each and every individual will have an equal shot at a better life through hard work and that fairness and justice are truly realized even at the most primary level of the society.Thank you.[李克强]主持人说到吃午饭的时间了。中国人说民以食为天。所谓民是众的意思,你们的肚子加起来远远超过我一个人,还是要让大家不能挨饿。谢谢你们参与关注今天的记者会,也谢谢一些记者的提问,谢谢大家。
Li Keqiang: The moderator indicates to me that it’s already lunch time.The Chinese people see food as an overriding priority.With so many people at the press conference, I hate to stand between you and your lunch.Thank you for coming to today’s press conference, and thank you for your questions.Thank you all.记者会结束后,李克强总理站起来将要离开现场时,又回答了两位记者的追问。在回答记者关于中央是否还会有惠港政策的问题时,李克强说,凡是有利于香港繁荣发展的事,我们都会去做,过去是这样,今后还会是这样。
After the press conference, as he stood up to leave, Premier Li Keqiang answered questions from two more journalists.When asked whether the central government will introduce more favorable policies for Hong Kong, Premier Li Keqiang said, we will do anything that contributes to the prosperity of Hong Kong.We did so in the past and will continue to do in the future.
第二篇:李克强总理记者招待会经典语录
我们要有壮士断腕的决心,言出必行,说到做到,决不明放暗不放,避重就轻,更不能搞变相游戏。
We are determined to make that sacrifice.We will keep our promise and match up our words with action.We will never secretly hold on to the powers, shy away from difficult issues, and we will never play any games to get around the requirements of the reform.把改革的红利、内需的潜力、创新的活力叠加起来,形成新动力
We need to combine the dividends of reform, the potential of domestic demand and the vitality of creativity so that these together will form drivers of economic growth.要重点保障基本民生,来编织一张覆盖全民的保障基本民生的安全网。
We need to provide for basic necessities of the people to create a social safety net that covers the entire population and protect people’s basic needs.4 公正是社会创造活力的源泉,也是提高人民满意度的一杆秤,Fairness is the source of societal creativity and the yardstick for improving people’s satisfaction with the work of the government.点评:本人对“一杆秤”的第一反应是scale或者parameter,这个yardstick就是“标准”的意思,译者显然是舍弃了原文的比喻,保留了意思。腐败和我们政府的信誉应该说水火不容。
Corruption is at complete variance with the nature of the government.点评:at variance with意思是“与....有分歧,不一致”为政清廉应该先从自己做起,己正,才能正人,这是古训,也是真理。自古有所谓“为官发财,应当两道”。
Clean government should start with oneself.Only one is upright him/herself can he/her ask others to be upright.This is an ancient adage but also a truth.Since ancient times, holding government office and making money have been two separate lanes
点评:原译有一个硬伤,应该是can he/she ask others....我们还要建立和完善不能贪、不敢贪的反腐机制,We will also establish a sound mechanism so that officials are unable to and dare not practice corruption.要让人民过上好日子,政府就要过紧日子。
If people are to lead good lives, the government must be put on a tight budget.点评:tight正好把“紧”的含义译出来了刚才你说的话我怎么有有罪推定的感觉啊?
In your question I sensed presumption of guilt.喊破嗓子不如甩开膀子。
Talking the talk is not as good as walking the walk.点评:这个应该是整个记者招待会上最经典的一句话,也是译得最精彩的一句话。能把动词名词化是一个很难得的技巧,有人说读者是否受到了《悲惨世界》里边的唱段iI dreamed a dream的启发了,确实有可能啊。这个叫同源宾语。我开始对这句话的第一反应就是简单的Action speaks louder than words,但是缺点就是原文的形象动词的意义就没有了,而译者很巧妙地把动词名词化,保留了原文“喊”和“甩”两个活生生的动词的意象。11 牵一发动全身的改革
The reform that will make an immediate and systemic impact.明规则战胜潜规则。
Transparent rules will trump hidden rules.触动利益往往比触及灵魂还难。但是,再深的水我们也得趟,因为别无选择,Sometimes stirring vested interests may be more difficult than stirring the soul.But however deep the water may be, we will wade into the water.This is because we have no alternative.(我开始翻译成了choice,绝对的错误啊)所谓打断骨头还连着筋,同胞之间、手足之情,没有解不开的结。
Bones may be broken but not sinews,because we are fellow compatriots.Between us, there is no knot that can not be untied.点评:最后半句我开始翻译的时候差不多也是这么翻译的,看来真的是保留了原文的比喻。15 花好总有月圆时。
When flowers are in full bloom, there will be a time when the moon will be full again.16还要注意防止城市病,不能一边是高楼林立,一边是棚户连片。
It is also important to prevent the typical malice that might plague the cities so that we won’t have a situation where skyscrapers coexist with shanty towns.17 新型城镇化必须和农业现代化相辅相成。
The new type of urbanization should go hand in hand with agricultural modernization.18 政府应当铁腕执法、铁面问责。
We will face the situation and punish the offenders without mercy and enforce the law with an iron fist.行大道、民为本、利天下。
To follow the great way, to put people first and to benefit all on the heaven.点评:最后三个字“利天下”,有人曾认为是“立天下”,这里译者翻译得非常正确。总理是为人民着想,为人民谋福利,而不是“当了领袖,统领了天下”,这样就会感觉领导很霸气,没有把人民群众放在眼里。己所不欲,勿施于人,这是中国人的信条。
One should not impose on others what he himself does not desire.This is an article of faith for us.——(政府削权)“我们要有壮士断腕的决心”= We should have the determination to cut the wrist like brave warriors
——“腐败和我们政府的信誉应该说水火不容”= Corruption is incompatible to reputation of the government, like fire to water
——(两岸同胞)“打断骨头还连着筋”= Bones may be broken, but they are not split, because we are compatriots
——(两岸关系)“使其花团锦簇,我想花好总有月圆时”=...so that it will be full of flowers.When flowers are in full blossom, there will be a time for the moon to be full again
——“至于食品安全,那可以说是天大的事”= Food safety is of utmost importance ——(查处)“假冒伪劣和黑心食品”= punish the heartless producers of substandard and fake food
——“绿水青山贫穷落后不行,但殷实富裕环境恶化也不行”= It is no good to be poor in a beautiful environment, nor is it good to be well-off and live with environmental degradation
这么多比喻中,最难翻译的应该是“(改革贵在行动)喊破嗓子不如甩开膀子”,翻译很巧妙地借用了英语Talking the talk is not as good as walking the walk的习惯说法,很自然,外国人一下子就能听懂,应该是本次记者招待会上最出彩的翻译之一。
第三篇:2017李克强答中外记者问中英对照
Premier Li Keqiang met reporters from home and abroad at a news conference on Wednesday at the end of the annual meeting of the National People’s Congress.Premier Li answered questions on various topics such as the economy, financial reforms and diplomacy.3月15日本周三,国务院总理李 克 强在全国人大闭幕记者会上会见了中外记者,并就经济、金融改革、以及外交等事项答记者问。
【李克强】刚才我听主持人说由于来的人多,很多记者提前两三个小时就到这里了,大家很辛苦,也充分表现了你们的职业精神,我对中外记者对中国两会报道所付出的辛劳表示感谢。时间有限,我们单刀直入,我愿意回答记者朋友们提出的问题。
Premier Li Keqiang:Just now, I heard the spokesperson say that today we have many journalists here.I heard that many of you arrived here 2 or 3 hours in advance.I thank you for your attention.Since we have limited time, I invite you to be direct with your questions.【美国有线电视新闻网记者】总理,早上好。特朗普总统一直对华发表一些批评性言论,表示中国偷窃了美国就业岗位,批评中国汇率政策以及中国在维护地区安全上做的不够。我们还了解到,很有可能最早就在下个月,中美两国元首可能会实现会晤。基于此,我们对于美国希望从中国得到什么已经有了一些概念,我想问,中国希望从美国那儿得到什么?中国对于一个健康可持续发展中美关系的底线是什么?您是否有信心实现这样的中美关系的发展?还是觉得前路比较艰难?
【CNN】President Trump has consistently criticized China for stealing U.S.jobs, manipulating currency exchange and not doing enough to maintain regional security.I understand that President Xi and Trump may meet as early as next month.What do you expect to receive from the U.S.?
【李克强】你的提问让我回想起去年9月份我去联大出席系列高级别会议期间到美国纽约经济俱乐部演讲,就有人向我提问,当时美国总统大选正在白热化阶段,如果新的总统当选,中美关系会不会有大的改变?我的回答是,不管谁当选美国总统,虽然中美关系经历过风风雨雨,但是一直前行,我对此持乐观态度。
Premier Li Keqiang:Your question reminded me of my speech last year in New York, when the U.S.presidential campaign was white hot.I was asked how the China-US relations would develop when a new U.S.president takes office.My answer was that whoever becomes the new U.S.President, China-US relations will keep moving forward despite the changing circumstances.特朗普总统当选以后,习近平主席和特朗普总统通了电话,两位元首都表示要共同推进中美关系向前发展。特朗普总统和美国新政府的高官也都明确表示,要坚持一个中国的政策,这是中美关系的政治基础,不是风云变幻能够动摇的,也动摇不得。有了这样一个政治基础,中美合作的前景是广阔的。Soon after Trump became the U.S.president, he and President Xi Jinping talked on the phone.The two leaders re-emphasized the one-China principle.Many senior officials from both countries agreed to enhance China-US relations, too.The one-China principle is the corner stone of the China-US relations.This is the political basis on which China and the U.S.can continue to develop ties.我们之所以对中美关系前行持乐观态度,是因为中美建交几十年了,已经有了广泛的共同利益。当然,我们之间也有分歧,比如你刚才提到的像在就业岗位、汇率等问题上有些看法不一,或者在安全问题上也有不同认识。
These days, the diplomatic departments are working on facilitating a meeting between the leaders of the two countries.Over the many decades since China and the U.S.established diplomatic ties, there have been many disagreements on employment, exchange rate and security issues, among other issues.但是,我们双方都需要保持战略定力,加强沟通,坐下来谈,增进相互了解和理解,现在两国外交部门正就两国元首会晤进行沟通。我想,中美关系不仅会关系两国利益,而且涉及到地区和世界的和平安全稳定,我们要维护它前行。
Facing these differences, we should continue our exchanges and sit down to talk calmly to enhance communication.China-US relations not only affect the interests of the two countries but also regional and global peace and stability;this is why we need to keep our ties moving forward.至于贸易问题,我在两会参加代表团讨论时,有来自外贸企业的人大代表跟我说,虽然中方是贸易顺差,但是企业生产的产品利润90%以上是美国企业拿走了,中国的生产企业拿到的利润最低只有2%—3%。据有关统计,光去年一年,中美的贸易、投资给美国创造的就业岗位过百万个。当然,各方的统计方法可能不一,没关系,我们坐下来谈,总是会有共识,即便一时达不成共识,可以搁置分歧,智者的办法是扩大共同利益,分歧点所占比例就会更小。
In terms of trade issues, although China currently has a surplus, more than 90 percent of Chinese companies’ profits were taken by the United States.We have statistics showing that last year China-US trade and investment created more than one million jobs in the United States.But if we cannot reach an agreement at once, we can continue talking, which is what wise people do.我想起前两天看到国际上有一个权威智库发表文章,他们认为,如果中美发生贸易战的话,首先受损的是外资企业,首当其冲的是美资企业。我们不希望看到打贸易战,贸易战带不来贸易公平,而且双方都受损。现在全世界都比较关心中美关系,中方希望,中美关系不管有什么样的坎坷,还是要向前走、向好处走。中美两国人民都是伟大的人民,我们有智慧来管控分歧,我们有需要也有条件来扩大共同利益。谢谢。Recently I read a report by a reputable foreign think tank.It said that if trade wars broke out between China and the United States, those suffering first would be foreign-funded enterprises in China, particularly those funded by the U.S.Our hope on the Chinese side is that trade relations will move forward in the positive direction.Chinese people and Americans are both great peoples.We have the wisdom to control our differences, and also have the need and conditions to enlarge our common interests.Thank you.【中央人民广播电台记者】总理您好,我们注意到这几年中国经济的增长速度在持续放缓,今年又把经济增长的预期目标下调到6.5%左右,这是否会对世界经济造成不利的影响?另外有人认为中国经济存在很多风险,特别是在金融方面的风险,中国是否能够在世界经济疲软这个大背景下继续扮演世界经济的推动者这样一个角色?谢谢。
【China National Radio】The growth rate of the Chinese economy has slowed in recent years.This year, China has set its GDP growth target at around 6.5 percent.Will this adversely affect the global economy? Moreover, some people think that there are some risks in the Chinese economy, especially in the financial sector.Do you think that the Chinese economy can still remain the global economic engine driving the global economy while global economic growth is sluggish?
【李克强】我们把今年经济增速定在6.5%左右,我看到当时有外媒报道说中国是温和下调了增速。其实,增长6.5%这个速度不低了,也很不容易。我曾经在中国少林寺陪同外宾看过武僧表演,几岁的小武僧一口气翻十几个跟头不费劲,而练过十几年武功的青年武僧翻三五个跟头就了不得了,主要是块头大了。如果今年中国实现经济增长目标,增量比去年还要大,因为这是在我们经济总量已经超过74万亿元人民币,相当于11万亿美元基础上的增长,而且可以带动1100万人以上的就业。这符合经济规律,也可以使注意力更多地放到提高质量和效益上来,对世界经济增长的贡献率不会低,中国仍然是世界经济复苏乏力情况下推动全球增长的重要力量。
Premier Li Keqiang:We set this year’s economic growth at 6.5 percent.I’ve read foreign media that described it as China’s ―moderate downward adjustment.‖ As a matter of fact, I should point out that 6.5 percent is not a low rate and won’t be easy to achieve;I once visited the Shaolin Temple with some foreign friends for a martial arts performance.I saw that the young monks can do a dozen of somersaults at one go very easily, but it would be quite a feat for adult monks to do even several – this is because of their different sizes.If we are able to achieve the 6.5 percent target this year, that will generate more economic output than last year, because this is achieved on the basis of 74 trillion yuan, or about US$11 trillion.This can generate 11 million jobs.It is in accordance with economic rules and this way we can focus more on the quality of China’s growth.I believe China will continue to be a strong driving force for the global economic growth.至于说到风险,今年世界经济政治不确定的因素很多,这是很大的外部风险。对中国来讲,不发展是最大的风险。我们保持中高速的稳定增长,本身就是在为世界稳定做贡献。当然,我们自己也有一些不可忽视的风险,刚刚你讲到像金融领域。对于这些风险点,我们是高度关注的,发现了会及时处置、靶向治疗,不会让它蔓延。当然,我还必须要强调,中国金融体系总体是安全的,不会发生系统性风险。因为我们有很多应对工具,储备政策许多还没有用。我们的财政赤字率没超过3%,商业银行资本充足率在13%,拨备覆盖率176%,这些都超过许多国家,特别是国际所确定的相关标准。所以我们是有能力防范风险的,当然,我们在中高速行进当中也会系紧安全带,不会让风险―急性发作‖,更不会发生区域性或者系统性的风险。谢谢。
As for risks, there are many uncertainties in the global economy and politics, and this can be a huge external risk.For China, lack of development will be the greatest risk.As long as we maintain a medium to high growth rate, we will be making a contribution to the global economy.Of course, we have some risks that we cannot neglect, for instance, financial risks as you mentioned.We are watching these risks closely and we will deal with them in time and with focused measures and won’t let them run rampant.Of course, I’ll point out that China’s financial industry is overall safe and does not have systematic risks.This is because we have a lot of tools at our hands.Our fiscal deficit is less than 3 percent, the capital adequacy ratio of commercial banks stands at 13 percent and the provision coverage ratio is 176 percent — all of these are better than many other countries, especially by the standards set by the international community.Therefore, we are able to avoid and prevent risks.We will buckle up during our medium-to high-speed ride, so as not to have a sudden risk, or a regional or systematic risk.Thank you.【彭博社记者】我的中文不够,对不起。随着美国收缩它在全球贸易体系中所发挥的作用,包括退出TPP,似乎中国愿意在全球贸易中发挥领导性作用。您和习近平主席都倡导自由贸易、开放型经济以及全球化。但同时我们看到,中国也在实施不公平贸易,开放自身经济速度还不快方面遭到批评。请问,在未来一年,中国方面会采取什么措施让国际社会确信中国是要致力于推进自由贸易和开放型经济的?
【Bloomberg】My Chinese is not good, sorry.The United States is shrinking its role in the global trade system, such as its withdrawal from the TPP.China seems to be poised to play a leadership role in global trade.You and President Xi Jinping both advocate free trade, an open economy and globalization.At the same time, China received criticism for unfair trade practices and measures for curbing opening speed.In the coming year, what will China do to make others believe that China is committed to free trade and open economy?
【李克强】首先,在全球化进程受到一些非议或者在某些方面有挫折的情况下,中国始终坚持一贯的立场,那就是:维护经济全球化,支持自由贸易。这本身就表明中国是要推动开放。实际上,全球化使各国都受益了,不过在这个过程中也有一些问题,像分配等方面,但它们不是全球化本身的问题,而是应对的问题。中方也愿意和世界各国一道来改善全球治理体系。全球化和世界的和平发展合作是一体的、不可分的。关起门来以邻为壑,解决不了问题。
Premier Li Keqiang:First, in a process of globalization that is faced with controversy and has suffered setbacks in some respects, China regularly advocates economic globalization and free trade.It shows clearly that China will promote opening-up.Actually, globalization benefits each country, even though some problems arise in the process, such as in the sector of distribution.We need to tackle these problems rather than reject globalization.China is willing to cooperate with other countries to enhance the global governance system.Globalization is inseparable from the development of world peace.The closed door and beggar-thy-neighbor policies cannot resolve problems.中国和世界许多国家一样,是全球化的受益者,这其中也因为中国一直在坚持不断地扩大开放。中国首先要把自己的事情办好,但关起门来也办不好自己的事情。所以我们的开放大门会越开越大。当然,开放是一个渐进的过程。回过头来看,这几十年来,我们的步伐一直是向前进的。
去年,我们吸引外资在发展中国家仍居首位,达到1260亿美元。世界银行对中国营商环境的评估,去年和2013年相比上升了18位。我们推动上海自贸试验区建设,已经逐步扩大到11个省区市,而且还会把普遍适用的经验向全国推广。我们还要在今年举办―一带一路‖国际合作高峰论坛,不断推出扩大开放的措施。我们也和很多国家提议,建立自由贸易区或者进行投资贸易协定的谈判,这些都是有利于双向开放的措施。有一点我想大家要明确,就是你的开放力度越大,开放程度越深,这里面的摩擦相应就会越多,但是占的比例会越来越小。对此,我们是有信心的。我们就是要打造开放的高地、投资的热土,和世界共享发展机遇。
Like many other countries, China is the beneficiary of globalization as China is consistently advancing its opening-up.China’s priority is to realize its own development, but closing doors cannot realize that.We will continue to step up opening-up, which is a gradual process.In retrospect, we have been moving forward with the process over the past decades.Last year, China was still the largest recipient of FDI among all developing countries, with the figure reaching US$126 billion.According to the evaluation on business environment in China made by the World Bank, China jumped 18 places last year compared with 2013.We advanced the construction of Shanghai FTZ, expanded the coverage scale to 11 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities, and will promote this across the whole country.We will hold the Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation this year to put forward more opening-up measures.We proposed to establish a Free Trade Zone or make negotiations on investment trade treaties with many other countries.These are all two-way opening-up measures.We need to know that wider and deeper opening-up will bring about friction, but, it will ease.We are confident about the process.We will build up opening-up and attract more investment to share development opportunities with the whole world.至于维护全球贸易的自由化,这需要世界各国共同努力,因为天下是天下人的天下。我们对已经达成或者希望达成的一些区域贸易安排一直持开放态度,也乐见其成。只要是有利于贸易自由化的,我们都会去参与、去推进,而且中国人明白,要用开放抓住全球化的机遇,不管有什么挑战都不能错过。
关于区域的自由贸易安排,涉及中国的,有条件的,我们持开放态度,愿意去进行推动。我们不会越俎代庖,不会超越区域去做不应是中国做的事情。谢谢。
As for preserving global trade liberalization, it requires the joint effort of every country because the world belongs to everyone who lives in it.We always assume an open attitude to regional trade arrangements, including those established and those that are under discussion.We would also love to see progress in this regard.We will participate in and promote whatever facilitates trade liberalization.We Chinese understand that we have to seize with an open attitude the opportunities of globalization and not miss them, no matter what challenges we face.With regard to the arrangement on regional free trade, as long as China is involved and has the conditions to participate, we will assume an open attitude to promote it.We won’t meddle in others’ affairs.We won’t go beyond China’s regional scope to do things we shouldn’t.Thank you.【人民日报记者】总理您好。我们注意到这四年来您一直都抓住简政放权这件事情不放松,今年政府工作报告也显示,您所要求的本届政府要精简1/3的行政审批事项的任务已经提前完成了,那么剩下的2/3呢?这项工作要不要继续往下推进,如果要继续的话您准备怎么推进?谢谢。
【People’s Daily】Mr.Premier, for the past four years, we have seen that you have been highly focused on streamlining administration and delegating power.We’ve also seen in this year’s government work report that the goal of the current administration to cut the number of items that require government review by one third has been fulfilled ahead of schedule.So what about the remaining two thirds? Will this reform be pushed forward, and if so, what specific steps will be taken?
【李克强】简政放权核心是要转变政府职能,处理好政府和市场的关系,这不是一朝一夕之功。我们的确已经完成了本届政府成立之初确定的任务,但是在推进的过程中发现这里面的名堂多了,不仅是审批权,还有名目繁多的行政许可、资格认证、各种奇葩证明,让企业不堪重负的收费等等,这些都属于简政放权要继续推进的内容。我们就是要在推进过程中,让政府职能得到转变,把更多的精力放到该管的事情上来。政府确实管了一些不该管、也不应属于自己管的事情,它束缚了市场主体的手脚,降低了行政效率,甚至影响了政府的公信力。因此,我们必须进行自我革命,刀刃向内,我一直说要用壮士断腕的精神坚韧不拔地加以推进,不管遇到什么样的问题,甚至会有较大阻力,但是要相信我们有足够的韧性。
Premier Li Keqiang: The core of this reform is to transform government functions and balance the relations between the government and the market.This reform cannot be accomplished overnight.The goal of cutting the number of items that require government review has been met, but in this process we have actually discovered a whole variety of other problems involved.In addition to the requirement of government review and approval, there are also various requirements for administrative permits, certification of qualification and administrative fees for our businesses.So these will be the areas of focus for this government reform.Essentially, this reform will help the government focus on things that it should focus on, because some issues we used to be focused on in the past may tie down our businesses, cut government efficiency and even the government’s public credibility.So this is a self-targeted reform for the government, and we are fully determined to pushing it forward until our job is done no matter what obstacles or even resistance we may encounter.简政放权、放管结合、优化服务是三位一体的,也就是政府要把更多的精力放到事中事后监管和优化对人民群众的服务上,把市场的准入放宽了,那就要为市场主体公平竞争营造环境。对那些假冒伪劣、坑蒙拐骗、侵犯知识产权以及涉及食品、药品、环保等群众密切关注的违法违规问题要坚决查处。我们要通过―互联网+政务服务‖,让群众少跑腿、少烦心、多顺心。要把更多的力量用于扶贫攻坚、棚户区改造、义务教育、基本医疗等诸多民生关注的方面。
Streamlining administration, the integration of control and decontrol and regulation and improvement of government services form an integral whole.The government needs to improve its oversight during and after the process and provide better services for the businesses and people.When market access is widened, the government needs to ensure a fair playing field for all market entities, and violations of laws and regulations will be seriously dealt with, such as making and selling fake foods and goods, cheating the market place and violations of intellectual property rights.All these areas are of high concern to our general public, involving food, drug safety and environment, etc.The government also needs to use the internet and other technologies to ensure that government administrative services will be more easily accessible to our people.The government also needs to focus more on areas like poverty alleviation, rebuilding of shanty towns, providing compulsory education and meeting people’s basic health care needs, all of which concern people’s livelihood.简言之,就是要向依法依规的市场主体发出―前行、前行、再前行‖的信号;向依靠劳动创业创新者亮起―可以、可以、再可以‖的绿灯;对那些违法违规不良行为,就要及时亮出黄牌,甚至出红牌罚他下场。谢谢。
So what the government should do is to send a message of ―Yes‖ to all law-abiding market entities, to flash the green ―go ahead‖ light to all hard-working entrepreneurs and innovators and to seriously deal with all violations of laws and regulation, showing them resolutely a yellow card, and even red card, to send them out of the market.Thank you.【日本经济新闻社记者】谢谢主持人。总理,您好。我是日本经济新闻社的记者。我想问一个关于朝鲜半岛的问题。美国国务卿蒂勒森先生从今天起访问日本,之后他还要访问中国和韩国。外界认为此访的重点之一是讨论朝鲜半岛问题。当前,朝鲜继续试射导弹,推进核武计划,导致东北亚局势非常紧张。在此背景下,中国打算采取什么样的措施和行动来缓解紧张的地区局势?中方将如何同日本等相关国家合作,解决所谓的朝核问题。谢谢。
【Nikkei】U.S.Secretary of State Tillerson is visiting Japan starting from today and will visit China and South Korea later.It’s widely believed that one of his major goals is to discuss the situation on the Korean Peninsula.The DPRK has conducted several missile tests and continues to push forward its nuclear weapon programs, resulting in tensions in Northeast Asia.What will China do with the other parties concerned to solve the problem?
【李克强】中国在朝鲜半岛问题上的立场是明确的、一贯的,坚持实现半岛无核化,坚持维护半岛的和平稳定,坚持通过对话协商解决问题。对于联合国已经通过的相关决议,中国一直是态度鲜明,而且是全面严格执行。中国始终是核不扩散体系的坚定维护者。的确,近来半岛乃至于东北亚出现了一些紧张的气氛,紧张很可能会导致冲突,会使相关各方都受损。我们希望的是,各方共同努力,把紧张的气氛降下来,使大家都回到对话的轨道上来,最终解决问题。按常理说,谁也不愿意自己的家门口整天闹个不停。谢谢。
Premier Li Keqiang: China maintains a clear-cut stance on this issue.To achieve denuclearization of the peninsula and maintain peace and stability there, we need to sit down and talk.China supports all resolutions of the United Nations and firmly upholds the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons.Tensions may lead to conflicts and will harm all sides.We hope that through the efforts of all the parties concerned, the tensions can be eased, and negotiations can resume.Anyway, no one wants to see chaos on his doorstep.Thank you.【中央电视台记者】您常说就业是民生之本。有报道说,您每个月在看经济指标的时候,非常关注就业的变化。我们看到在政府工作报告中,您特别提到今年我国的就业压力加大。请问总理,今年会不会出现群体性的失业问题?
【CCTV:】You often say that employment is the foundation of people’s livelihood.And of all the economic indicators, it is the statistics concerning jobs that you care the most about.In the government work report, you pointed out that this year, the government may face a more daunting task of providing employment.My question is, do you expect large scale unemployment in particular sectors this year?
【李克强】可能稍加注意你们就会发现,在政府工作报告所提出的主要经济社会发展指标当中,有一项是抬高的,那就是今年我们要新增城镇就业1100万人以上,比去年的目标增加100万人。我们之所以要有6.5%左右的经济增速,稳增长主要还是要保就业。因为就业对我们这样一个13亿多人口的大国来说是最大的民生。就业是经济发展的基础,是财富增长的来源,也是居民收入的主渠道。我们这几年一直在实施积极的就业政策,已经连续4年实现新增城镇就业1300万人以上,今年更是强调就业优先,就是要保证能够实现比较充分的就业,把失业率控制在较低的水平。
Premier Li Keqiang: If you read the government work report carefully, you will notice that we have adjusted a target upward among all the major economic and social development targets for 2017, namely we will create over 11 million new urban jobs, one million more on top of the target we set for 2016.The fact is, we have projected around 6.5% GDP growth mainly to support job creation.Employment is of paramount importance for such a large country as China with 1.3 billion-plus people.Employment is the foundation of economic development.It creates wealth and is a major source of household income.Over the past four years, we have pursued a proactive employment policy and created over 13 million new urban jobs every year for four years in a roll.This year, we will continue to give high priority to employment.The goal is to achieve fairly sufficient employment and keep unemployment at a low level.这几年我们一直处在新成长劳动力的高峰,今年的就业压力仍然比较大,光高校毕业生就达795万,创历史新高,还有500万左右的中职毕业生,加上去过剩产能需要安置几十万转岗职工等等。我们要营造有利于创业就业的环境,不是靠政府去提供―铁饭碗‖,而是让人民群众用劳动和智慧去创造或者说打造―金饭碗‖。这几年我们就是通过创造岗位,实现了比较充分的就业。这里,我想请外国记者朋友能够多报道中国的就业岗位是靠自己创出来的。
In the past several years, record numbers of job-seekers have entered the labor force, which is a big challenge for us.This year, we are going to have 7.95 million college graduates, the highest number in history.Five million will graduate from vocational schools.And several hundred thousand workers will be laid off in the process of cutting overcapacity.The government’s job is not to hand out the ―iron rice bowl‖ or permanent jobs to the people, but to create enabling conditions for the people to use their own ingenuity and hard work to create or secure ―gold rice bowls‖ so to speak.The employment rate in the past years has been fairly high because we have leveraged the enthusiasm for entrepreneurial and innovation activities.I would encourage the media, in particular, foreign media, to report the fact that Chinese jobs are mainly created by the Chinese themselves.我们完全有能力扩大就业,不会也不允许出现大规模群体性失业,对于一时不能就业、生计没有着落的群众,政府会负起责任,保障他们的基本生活。
The Chinese government has the ability to support more job creation.There will not be, nor will we allow mass unemployment.For those who have difficulty getting jobs or making ends meet, the government will do its part and provide for their basic needs.【新加坡《联合早报》记者】今年是本届政府的收官之年。您认为过去四年多最重要的成就是什么?最难攻克的又是什么?
【Lianhe Zaobao】Mr.Premier, this year is the last year in the term of this government.My question is, what has been the most important achievement of the past four years? And what has been the greatest challenge?
【李克强】你问的问题虽然简短,但比较大。如果说到四年来施政的主要成果,那就是在以习近平同志为核心的党中央领导下,全国上下共同努力,我们不断创新宏观调控方式,中国经济运行保持在合理区间,始终是中高速增长,四年来增速波动也就是1个百分点左右,可以说是平稳的。而且这不是靠―大水漫灌‖的强刺激来获得的,而是通过推动产业、消费升级,使经济结构优化取得新进展,通过加快新旧动能转换促进经济出现向好势头,更重要的是带动了5000多万人的城镇新增就业。
Premier Li Keqiang: It’s a short but big question.The most important achievement of the past four years is that under the leadership of the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core and with the joint efforts of our people, we have developed new approaches to macroeconomic management and maintained steady economic performance within the proper parameters and a medium-high growth rate.The variation in annual growth rate, for example, is only about one percentage point.We have achieved such steady growth not by resorting to massive, economy-wide stimulus, but by industrial and consumption upgrading, which has contributed to the improvement of China’s economic structure.We have encouraged the new drivers of economic growth to take the place of traditional ones.Most importantly, we have generated as many as 50 million new urban jobs.这几年,我一直听到中国经济会―硬着陆‖的声音,可以说不绝于耳。去年在世界经济和贸易增长出现7年来增速最低的情况下,中国仍然保持中高速增长。这几年的实践可以证明,中国经济―硬着陆‖论可以休矣。中国经济不会―硬着陆‖,我们会长期保持中高速增长,并迈向中高端水平。
Over the years, some people have predicted, once and again, that the Chinese economy will see a ―hard landing‖.The truth is, we managed a medium-high growth rate last year in spite of the fact that world economic and trade growth hit a seven-year low.I hope this will put an end to any more predictions of a hard landing.The Chinese economy will continue to enjoy medium-high growth and move to a medium-high level.当然,并不是说我们没有问题和挑战,所以要推动改革。说到最难的,还是在深化改革方面。比如说简政放权、放管结合、优化服务的改革,这不仅会触动利益,而且要触动灵魂。要让权力不能任性,就得把那些不应该有的权力砍掉,有些涉及到部门利益,要压缩寻租空间。这不是一个简单的过程,从中央政府一直到地方、到基层,都要这样做,要打通―最后一公里‖。
At the same time, we also face many challenges and difficulties, hence the need for continuous reform.This is the biggest challenge for us.The reform to streamline administration, enhance oversight and provide better services is bound to upset vested interests;it also demands a fundamental change in our mindset.There should be no more arbitrary use of government power, the government must not overreach, and the room for rent-seeking must be squeezed.This is easier said than done.We must make sure that all levels of the government move in lockstep to travel the last mile and get rid of any remaining obstacles.我到有的地方去看,在简政放权中一次封了109个公章,用一个公章代替。中国太大,不知道类似公章过多的情况哪些地方还有。你们可能也都记得,在前几年两会上,曾有人展示了一个项目审批―万里长征图‖,据说现在变成―百里‖了,百里也不短啊,还要继续推进。我前面已经讲了,不管有什么样的阻力,我们都有足够的韧性推动改革。改革就是要解放和发展生产力,调动广大人民的积极性,让群众得到实惠。为政之要就是要舍小利、顾大义、顺民心。During an inspection trip, I was shown that, instead of requiring a stamp of approval from 108 government departments, the streamlined process required only one.With China being so big, there may be similar situations of excessive requirements for government approval elsewhere.You may remember that a few years ago, a delegate at the Two Sessions produced a so-called Long-March matrix, showing all the intricate procedures for administrative approval.Although things have been streamlined significantly and the long march has been substantially reduced, it’s still too much.Let me repeat that no matter what obstacle may lie ahead, we are determined to push the reform through.The goal is to unleash and grow productive forces, bring out the initiative of the people, and deliver greater benefits to the general public.After all, governance is all about letting go of narrow departmental interests for the greater good and always responding to the people’s call.【《深圳特区报》记者】去年10月您到深圳参加―全国双创周‖主会场的活动。据统计,一周之内有50万人参加了这次活动,场面非常火爆。过去一年大众创业、万众创新蓬勃发展,现在共享经济发展也很快,但是也有人有不同的看法。请问总理,您觉得―双创‖的热情会持久吗?
【Shenzhen News】Mr.Premier, last October, you attended the National Week of Mass Entrepreneurship and Innovation in Shenzhen.It is estimated that as many as 500,000 people participated in the national week’s activities, making it a very popular event.Over the past year, this initiative of mass entrepreneurship and innovation has caught on, and the sharing economy has seen rapid expansion.But some people may see these developments in a different way.Mr.Premier, do you think this public enthusiasm for entrepreneurship and innovation will continue?
【李克强】―双创‖可以说是应运而生,在全球化、―互联网+‖的时代,我们推动―放管服‖改革,促进了大众创业、万众创新。这3年多来,每天平均有4万个以上市场主体注册登记,相当于每年新增1000多万个。我和有些外国的领导人谈到这件事,他们很惊讶,这相当于他们国家中小微企业的总量。其实―双创‖不仅是中小微企业的事,也是大企业的事,现在许多大企业也在推动―双创‖,在线上创造很多众创空间,让线上的工人当创客,和订单背后的市场需求结合起来,更适应消费者的需要。―双创‖覆盖了一二三产业、大中小企业,有着很强的生命力。
Premier Li Keqiang: We believe that our initiative of mass entrepreneurship and innovation is a response to the call of this age of economic globalization and Internet Plus.The government’s further reform of streamlining administration and delegating powers is also designed to boost this public enthusiasm for business start-ups and innovation.Over the past three years and more, on an average daily basis, more than 40,000 market entities have got registered, adding up to 10 million every year.When I share this figure with foreign leaders, they were truly amazed as this is equivalent to the total number of SMEs in their countries.Not only SMEs are doing entrepreneurial and innovation activities.Big companies are actively engaged in this too.They have opened up vast online makerspaces to enable a matching between the innovative capabilities of their employees with the demands of customers in the marketplace.This initiative runs through the development of primary, secondary and tertiary industries and involves businesses of all sizes.So I believe it will continue to thrive.―双创‖不仅带动了大量就业,促进创新驱动发展战略深入实施,它也是一场改革,因为它抓住了―人‖这个生产力当中最重要的因素,让人的聪明才智和活力充分展现出来,让大家有改变命运、获得纵向上升的平等机会。它也创新了生产模式,许多新业态,像共享经济、―互联网+‖等等,可以说层出不穷,这些新业态有的是新旧动能转换过程当中产生的,新旧嫁接,有的是―老树开新花‖,总的看它适应了市场的需求,适应了消费者个性化、多样化的要求。
This initiative has generated a great deal of jobs.It is also an important means to implement the strategy of innovation-driven development.This initiative is a process of reform too because it captures the most important element in productive forces, that is, human resources.It helps bring out the wisdom and motivation of each individual and gives them an opportunity for a fair shot at success and upward mobility.It has also boosted the development of many new production and business models, like the ―Internet Plus‖ and sharing economy.Some of the new business models appear in the synergy between old and new growth drivers.Others are the result of traditional drivers of growth being given renewed life with the application of new technologies.This initiative has, in a nutshell, responded well to market demand and individualistic needs of our customers.另外,新业态的成长也倒逼了政府职能转变。确实,这些新业态很多是过去未知的,有争议是正常的,我们还是要以开放的态度、包容的理念审慎监管,促使它们健康发展。
The growing new business models have also created pressure on the government to enhance its capability, because after all, many of the forms of business are new things.When it comes to such new things, it’s only normal for people to have different views.For the government, it needs to exercise careful regulation in an open-minded and accommodating way to promote their healthy development.我一直在想,也一直这么认为,中国有1.7亿受过高等教育和拥有高技能的人才,与近8亿的劳动力结合起来,能创造的财富,激发的能量是难以估算的,也会给市场,包括世界市场带来巨大的机遇。中国人民勤劳智慧,有着追求美好生活的不竭动力,政府就是要创造环境,让人民群众创业创新的热情持久不衰。当然―双创‖和许多新事物一样,发展过程当中一些方面、一些企业会遇到曲折,但是大方向是正确的。
I have all along believed that China’s nearly 800 million labor force, including the 170 million who have received higher education or possess high professional skills, represents a tremendous source of wealth and energy and enormous opportunities for China itself and the international market too.The Chinese people are intelligent and hard-working and they have an inexhaustible drive for pursuing a better life.The government needs to create an enabling environment for our people to stay enthusiastic for entrepreneurship and innovation.Some people and some enterprises may experience difficulties as this initiative unfolds, which is only normal for the development of new things.But we have the confidence to ensure that our initiative continue to move in the right direction.【凤凰卫视记者】今年政府工作报告中,您首次提到了―港独‖问题,指出―港独是没有出路的‖,这是否意味着政策上会有什么变化?比如在落实―一国两制‖这个原则问题上是否会更加强调―一国‖而弱化―两制‖?或者以后中央对香港的支持会减少?
【Phoenix TV】This year’s government work report, for the first time, contains a reference to the notion of ―Hong Kong independence‖, pointing out that Hong Kong independence will lead nowhere.I wonder if this indicates a change in the policy of the central government.Does it mean that the central government, in implementing the principle of ―one country, two systems‖, will put more emphasis on the part of ―one country‖ and downplay the part of ―two systems‖? Does it mean that the central government will reduce its support to Hong Kong?
【李克强】对―一国两制‖的方针要全面理解和执行,我在政府工作报告中已经说了,―一国两制‖的实践要不动摇、不走样、不变形。
至于说支持香港发展,中央政府会不断地加大力度,继续出台许多有利于香港发展、有利于内地和香港合作的举措。比如说去年我们出台了―深港通‖。我们要进一步探索开放债券市场,这是国家的需要,香港也有平台。我们准备今年在香港和内地试行―债券通‖,也就是说允许境外资金在境外购买内地的债券,这是第一次。香港是近水楼台先得月,这有利于维护香港国际金融中心的地位,有利于香港居民有更多的投资渠道从而受惠,有利于香港的长期繁荣稳定。
Premier Li Keqiang: The principle of ―one country, two systems‖ needs to be understood and implemented in its entirety.As I have also said in the government work report, this principle needs to be steadfastly applied without being bent or distorted.The central government will continue to enhance its support to Hong Kong’s development and will introduce more measures in the interest of Hong Kong’s development and its cooperation with the mainland.Last year, we launched the Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect.This year, we will actively explore greater cooperation over the bond markets.That is what the country needs, and Hong Kong has a platform for it too.We are considering establishing a bond market connect between the mainland and Hong Kong this year, allowing, for the first time, overseas capital to buy mainland’s bonds overseas.Hong Kong stands to be the first to benefit from such arrangement thanks to its unique strengths.We believe this will help maintain Hong Kong’s status as an international financial center, diversify investment channels for Hong Kong residents, and contribute to Hong Kong’s lasting prosperity and stability.【俄通社—塔斯社记者】请问您如何评价中俄关系?两国是否能够在世界经济不稳定、能源价格波动的背景下取得经贸关系发展?
【TASS of Russia】Mr.Premier, how do you evaluate overall China-Russia relations? Do you think that the economic relations between the two countries will enjoy further growth in the face of uncertainties in the international economic landscape and volatility of global energy prices?
【李克强】说到中俄关系,两国互为最大的近邻,是全面战略协作伙伴关系。中俄关系的健康稳定发展,不仅有利于地区,也有利于世界。去年两国元首多次会晤,达成许多重要共识。中俄总理定期会晤多年来一直如期举行,这本身表明了中俄关系的稳定性。
Premier Li: China and Russia are each other’s biggest neighbors.We enjoy a comprehensive strategic partnership of coordination.Sound and steady growth of China-Russia relations is good for the region and good for the world.Last year, presidents of the two countries met several times and reached important agreement on many issues.And the prime ministers’ annual meeting has been held as scheduled every year for many years.I believe all this is evidence of the stability of China-Russia relations.至于说到两国的经贸关系,这些年世界经济复苏低迷,贸易增长乏力,中俄经贸合作由于能源价格下跌等因素也受到一些影响。记得在去年记者会上,我曾经说希望中俄经贸合作当年能够有转折性变化,现在应该说实现了,当然这是我们共同努力的结果。特别是今年前两个月,中俄贸易额有大幅增长,这表明中俄双方经贸合作的潜力很大,互补性很强,双方所设定的经贸合作目标是可以实现的。
Talking about economic relations and trade between our two countries, over the years, we have faced sluggish global economic recovery and anemic growth of global trade.So naturally our economic relations and trade have been affected by the decline in international energy prices and some other factors.I recall that last year, on the same occasion, I expressed the hope for our business relations to turn the corner and achieve strong growth by the end of the year.Thanks to our joint efforts, this has been achieved.In the first two months of this year, there was actually a big surge in China-Russia trade.This shows the tremendous untapped potential of our trade ties and the great complementarity of our economies.I am confident that the goals we set for our two-way trade can be achieved.【财新杂志记者】现在人民币汇率有一定的下跌压力,但是要稳住汇率,要么就是消耗外汇储备,要么就要加强外汇管制。您如何看待汇率下跌、外储下降或者外汇管制的代价?这几害相权您会作何选择?
【Caixin】China’s RMB exchange rate has been under pressure of depreciation.To keep exchange rate stable, one has to either dig into foreign exchange reserves or tighten control on the use of foreign currencies.Among the three scenarios of a weaker currency, drop in foreign exchange reserves and tightened currency control, how would you weigh the costs of each scenario and what choice will you make?
【李克强】首先关于汇率。去年因为国际货币市场动荡,特别是美元走高,许多货币尤其是主要国际货币对美元的汇率大幅度贬值,而人民币汇率贬值幅度是比较小的。我们不希望通过贬值来增加出口,这不利于企业转型升级。我们也不希望打贸易战,这不利于国际贸易和货币体系的稳定。我们坚持推进人民币汇率形成机制的改革,实行以市场供求为基础、有管理的浮动汇率制度。可以说在人民币汇率弹性加大的情况下,我们保持了人民币汇率在合理均衡水平上的基本稳定。当然,这也得益于中国经济基本面向好。人民币汇率的基本稳定是对国际货币体系稳定的重要贡献。
Premier Li Keqiang: First, on the exchange rate.Last year, there has been some volatility on international currency markets.Many currencies especially major global currencies have depreciated against the strengthening US dollar.The depreciation of the Chinese yuan against the dollar is a quite modest one.China has no intention to devalue its currency in order to boost exports, because that is not good for our companies’ transformation and upgrading.China has no intention to fight any trade war either, as that is not good for the stability of global trade and the international monetary system.China will continue to push forward the market-oriented reform of its exchange rate regime, and follow a market-based, managed floating exchange rate regime.As the floating band of the Chinese yuan widens, the RMB exchange rate has remained broadly stable at an adaptive and equilibrium level.That is attributable to the sound economic fundamentals in China.By keeping the RMB exchange rate broadly stable, China will continue to contribute to the stability of global monetary system.至于说到外汇储备,中国是世界上外汇储备最多的国家。合理的外汇储备规模到底需要多少,这有一个实践探索的过程。总之,我们的外汇储备是充裕的,是足以支付进口和满足短期偿债需要的,远远高于国际标准。
China still has the largest foreign exchange reserves among all countries in the world.As to what is the right size for our foreign exchange reserves, I believe that will continue to be up for exploration.All in all, China has ample foreign exchange reserves for meeting relevant needs, like paying for imports or paying off its short-term external debts.And China’s foreign exchange reserves are way above the international standard.说到我们对于用汇进行真实性、合规性审查,实际上这是法律法规早就规定的。我在这里明确,企业正常的用汇、居民到国外求学旅游等的合理用汇是有保证的。人民币在国际货币体系中是有分量的,汇率会保持基本稳定。
As for our recent authenticity and compliance review of the use of foreign currency, that has been a legal provision for a long time, not something new.I want to emphasize that the need of our businesses for normal use of foreign currency and that of individuals to study or travel overseas is assured.The RMB has solid weight in the international monetary system and the RMB exchange rate will remain generally stable.【路透社记者】今年中国政府准备进一步减少无效供给,扩大有效供给。在这一过程中,政府需要确保下岗工人能找到新的工作,并确保他们的生计。如果我是一名矿工或是钢厂工人,我能在本省找到什么样的新工作呢?今年预计哪些部门会出现工作岗位增加?
【Reuters】This year, the Chinese government will further reduce ineffective supply and expand effective supply.While doing that, the government needs to ensure that laid-off workers will be re-employed and their basic living needs will be met.If I were a miner or a worker of a steel plant, what kind of new jobs can I expect to get in my province? In what sectors do you expect an increase in job opportunities?
【李克强】你把就业问题更加人性化、个性化了。去年,我们推动供给侧结构性改革的一个重要任务就是化解钢铁、煤炭行业的过剩和落后产能,我们最关心的就是在去产能过程中如何安置好职工。所以中央财政拿了1000亿元专项资金用于员工转岗安置,并且要求地方政府配套。去年,有72万多去过剩产能过程中的职工得到了妥善安置,当然,还有一些职工因为多种因素没有到新的就业岗位上,包括有的职工和企业有比较深的感情,想多留一段,但他们的生活都是有着落的。
Premier Li Keqiang: You have given the employment issue a human face.Last year, we took vigorous efforts to cut excessive and outdated capacity in steel and coal sectors as a priority task for supply-side structural reform.A key concern for us in this process is the proper resettlement of laid-off workers.The central government has earmarked 100 billion yuan in a special fund to provide assistance to them and asked local governments to set up matching funds.Last year, proper arrangements were made for 720,000 workers who were laid off as a result of cutting overcapacity.For various reasons, there are still workers yet to find new jobs.In some cases, given the strong attachment between the workers and their employers, some may prefer to stay on a bit longer with their former employers.Still, their essential living needs are provided for.今年去产能还要扩大到煤电领域,加上去年一些还没安置的职工,累计可能会有近百万人需要安置。我们的办法还是创造新的岗位,因为我们在推动发展新动能。刚才我讲了―双创‖带动了大量新的就业,实际上也转移了许多传统动能的就业,新旧动能转换为传统产业带来了新的活力和生机,催生了新的就业岗位。当然我们没有掉以轻心,还会继续运用好专项基金,并要求地方政府做好配套。同时,企业也要尽社会责任。
This year, effort to cut overcapacity will be extended to the coal-fired power generation sector.Factoring in the number carried over from last year, we need to provide assistance to nearly one million people in total.The key is to continue to generate new jobs, including through our efforts to foster new drivers of growth.As I said before, the initiative of mass entrepreneurship and innovation has both created a lot of new jobs and stimulated job creation in traditional sectors, which has helped to revive these industries.We will not relent our efforts and will continue to put to effective use the central government special fund complemented by funding from local governments.At the same time, businesses also need to fulfill their social responsibilities.如果你是一名煤矿工人,这个矿被淘汰,或者暂时停产了,我看你有很强的、灵活的就业能力,我建议你到新动能企业去,或者到老动能中产生的新职业中去。而且中国很多企业是有企业文化的,他们对老职工有感情,去新岗位就业了,企业仍然还会给一些补贴,扶上马、送一程。总而言之,把职工安置好,是我们推进供给侧结构性改革、推动化解和淘汰过剩产能中最关键的问题。
So if you were a coal miner, your mine is going to be closed or its production suspended, and you are capable of flexible employment, I will advise you to find a job in sectors with new drivers of growth or move to new jobs generated in the upgraded traditional industries.Moreover, Chinese companies, whose corporate culture encourages close employer-employee relationships, will continue to provide subsidies to their loyal employees for some time to give them a leg-up.All in all, easing the transition for laid-off workers will remain our top concern in cutting overcapacity and pursuing the supply-side structural reform.【澎湃新闻记者】今年两会前夕,中国政府网联合27家网络媒体共同发起―我向总理说句话‖建言征集活动,澎湃新闻和今日头条就其中与民生密切相关问题进行了网上投票。到目前,已经有2131万网友投给了―房屋产权70年到期后怎么办?‖,排第一位。请问总理,国家准备怎么解决这一问题?
【ThePaper.cn】In the run-up to this year’s two Sessions, the Chinese government’s portal website, together with 27 online media outlets, conducted an online survey on the theme of ―What I wish to say to the Premier‖ to solicit public comments and suggestions for the government.Viewers were further requested by ThePaper.cn and Toutiao.com to vote on entries on people’s daily lives.The question of ―what will happen to my home when the 70-year term of land use right expires‖, has received the most votes, or 21.31 million in total.My question is, what will the government do to address this public concern?
【李克强】中国有句古话:有恒产者有恒心。包括网民在内的广大群众,对70年住宅土地使用权到期续期问题普遍关心是可以理解的。国务院已经要求有关部门作了回应,就是可以续期,不需申请,没有前置条件,也不影响交易。当然,也可能有人说,你们只是说,有法律保障吗?我在这里强调,国务院已经责成相关部门就不动产保护相关法律抓紧研究提出议案。
Premier Li Keqiang: Our ancestors believe that one shall have his peace of mind when he possesses a piece of land.So it’s understandable for internet users and other members of the general public to feel concerned about the expiry of the 70-year term land use right of their residences.The State Council had asked the relevant departments to respond to these concerns.Specifically, the term can be renewed, and no application or pre-set conditions needs to be filed or met.And the expiry will not affect any transactions over the property.Some people may wonder whether there will be legal safeguards for this right.I want to tell you that the State Council has entrusted relevant departments to speed up their study on relevant laws and come up with a proposal.【泰国《经理报》记者】奥巴马总统任职期间提出了―亚太再平衡‖的战略,特朗普政府现在正在制定对亚洲外交政策,泰国和其他东南亚国家都希望本地区保持和平和稳定,不愿意看到中美在这一地区发生冲突,更不愿意在其中―选边站队‖。您怎么看中国在亚太地区发挥的作用?中国对于本地区理想化的秩序和规则是怎样的?中美如何在这个地区继续和平共处?
【Manager Daily of Thailand】The Obama administration adopted a rebalancing policy towards the Asia-Pacific region while the Trump administration is yet to spell out its policy in Asia.Thailand and other countries in Southeast Asia hope this region maintains peace and stability.We don’t want to see any conflict between China and the US here, even more reluctant to take sides.How do you view China’s present role in the Asia-Pacific region? What is China’s ideal order and role for the region? How can China and the US live in peace in this region?
【李克强】亚太地区是地区国家共有的家园,我们不希望、也不愿意看到冷战思维下所谓―选边站队‖的事情发生,有什么事情要按是非曲直来说话,总的还是要维护亚太地区的和平和稳定。在亚太地区,我们始终把东盟作为中国周边外交的优先方向,支持东盟共同体建设,在区域合作中发挥中心地位作用。我们希望看到的亚太地区是一个稳定、有秩序的地区,是一个可以协商一致达成原则的地区,是一个有能力管控分歧的地区,也是一个有智慧解决争端的地区。
Premier Li Keqiang: The Asia-Pacific is the common home for all countries in this region.China does not want to see any party feeling compelled to choose sides under the influence of the Cold-War mentality.We believe regional affairs should be handled on the merits of each case and in a way that is conducive to continued peace and stability.As for ASEAN, we always put ASEAN in a priority position in China’s neighborhood diplomacy, and support ASEAN community building and its centrality in regional cooperation.China hopes to see an Asia-Pacific that enjoys order and stability, that is able to build consensus through consultation and properly manage differences, and has the wisdom to resolve disputes.中国和东盟正在推进《南海行为准则》磋商,已经取得了实质性进展,我们还会继续积极推进。我们希望维护南海的和平稳定,有关争端由当事方直接对话解决,各方共同维护地区的和平稳定与发展。
China and ASEAN have been pushing forward the consultation on a Code of Conduct in the South China Sea.Substantive progress has been made in this regard and we will keep working on that.It is our hope that peace and stability in the South China Sea could be maintained, specific disputes be resolved through dialogue by the parties directly concerned and all countries in the region work together for peace, stability and development.中美在亚太地区合作多年了,我们有许多合作的交汇点。不少美国跨国公司把亚太地区销售总部放在中国,我们希望中美合作的共同利益不断扩大,使东盟国家能从中得到机遇,而不是感到麻烦。
For years, China and the United States have been cooperating in many areas in the Asia-Pacific region.Many US multinationals place their Asia-Pacific headquarters in China.We hope that the areas of cooperation between the two countries will continue to widen, providing more opportunities for ASEAN countries instead of being a cause of concern for them.【新华社记者】我们在调研采访中了解到,现在一些企业抱怨税费负担过重,辛苦半天也挣不了多少钱。也有消费者抱怨,很多高品质的产品在国内生产不了。请问总理,您对此怎么看?有什么进一步改进的政策措施?
【Xinhua News Agency】We’ve discovered that there is growing complaint on the part of businesses about the heavy burden of taxes and fees.They say that even with hard work, they couldn’t make much money.And we’ve also heard complaints from Chinese consumers that some high-end goods are not yet domestically made.What is your response to their complaints, Mr.Premier? And what steps will the government take to resolve the issue?
【李克强】我在政府工作报告中用了很多篇幅提出了许多措施来强调,今年要推进更大力度的减税降费,特别是那些名目繁多、企业不堪重负的行政事业性收费。这些收费本来是有用途的,有的是用来―养人‖的,减少收费,那政府就要过紧日子。我明确提出,中央政府要带头,一般性支出一律减少5%以上。我在参加代表团讨论时,许多地方政府也都有这样的表示。我们就是要用政府的―痛‖换来企业的―顺‖,让企业轻装上阵,提高竞争力。我们还要通过像降网费、电费、物流成本等措施,力争今年减税降费能够达到万亿元人民币。当然,根本上还要降低制度性交易成本。
Premier Li Keqiang: I devoted a significant portion of my government work report on further cutting taxes and fees, particularly the myriad of excessive administrative fees that are exacting a heavy burden on businesses.These fees are used to cover certain expenses, such as keeping up some payrolls.To cut down fees, the government must tighten its belt.I have made it clear that the central government will take the lead in doing so and cut its general expenditures by no less than 5% this year.And in my discussions with officials from local governments, they all agreed that this is what they also need to do.So we will use this painful adjustment on the part of the government to make things easier for businesses to enhance their competitiveness.Furthermore, we will take steps this year to cut broadband, electricity and logistics costs.Our goal is to bring down taxes and fees by up to one trillion RMB yuan.A most fundamental measure is to reduce government-imposed transaction cost.至于消费者抱怨中国的一些产品质量不优,这说明我们的企业需要让产品进入质量时代,这也是供给侧结构性改革的重要内容。我们实施《中国制造2025》,就是要提升企业产品和装备的质量。国际上有一种舆论,说是不是中国会减少进口,开放有所收缩,这是误解。提高中国产品的质量,促进产业迈向中高端,必然要更大地打开开放的大门,更多地引进国外先进技术和产品。当然我们会严格保护知识产权,让中外企业双赢。对于普通消费者所需要的一些优质产品一时供给不上,我们还可能考虑降低关税、增加进口。总之,要让消费者有更多选择,从中受惠。更重要的是让我们的企业下决心,通过发扬工匠精神,使自己的产品赢得消费者的信赖。
As for the complaints of some Chinese consumers about the quality of domestically made goods, I believe this is an important message to all Chinese businesses to enhance quality control.It is also an important part of the supply-side structural reform.We’ve launched the Made in China 2025 strategy, which aims to raise the quality of Chinese products and equipment.Some people question if that means China will reduce import and retreat in its opening-up.That is a misunderstanding.On the contrary, raising our own products’ quality and upgrading our own industries to a medium-high level would actually require us to open even wider to the outside world and introduce more advanced technologies and products.In this process, we will see to it that intellectual property rights will be well protected for the benefit of their proprietors.As for those high-end products which cannot be manufactured locally for the time being, we may consider lowering tariffs to boost import.In a word, we need to give our consumers more options and more benefits, and most importantly, harden the resolve of Chinese companies to win over consumers with their commitment to high quality and workermanship.【台湾《联合报》记者】去年以来两岸关系越来越复杂严峻,前景令人担忧。面对这样的形势,大陆如何维护两岸关系的和平发展,以及两岸同胞的福祉?
【United Daily News of Taiwan】Over the past year, relations across the Taiwan Straits have become complex and grave with an uncertain future.Under such circumstances, what will the mainland do to uphold peaceful development of cross-Straits relations and safeguard the well-being of people on both sides?
【李克强】两岸是骨肉同胞,血浓于水。不管岛内形势如何变化,都割断不了两岸的亲情,改变不了两岸同属一个中国的历史和现状,也改变不了我们维护两岸关系和平发展的决心和诚意。
Premier Li Keqiang: People on the two sides of the Taiwan Straits are brothers and sisters.Blood is thicker than water.No matter how the situation on Taiwan may evolve, it cannot sever the fraternal bond between the two sides, or change the history or the reality that both sides of the Taiwan Straits belong to one and the same China.Nor will it weaken our resolve and sincerity for peaceful growth of cross-Straits relations.我们对台方针是一贯的、明确的,就是要坚持体现一个中国原则的―九二共识‖政治基础,坚决反对―台独‖,维护台海和平,维护两岸关系和平发展,增进两岸同胞的福祉。Our policy towards Taiwan has been consistent and clear-cut, that is, we will stick to the political foundation of the 1992 Consensus, which embodies the one-China principle, firmly oppose Taiwan independence, uphold peace across the Taiwan Straits and peaceful development of cross-Straits relations and improve the well-being of people on both sides.两岸的和平发展确实给两岸同胞带来了很多新的机遇。据不完全统计,每年大概有500万台湾同胞往返于大陆和岛内。我们会出台更多政策让台湾同胞在大陆就业、创业、工作、生活,享受一家人一样的便利条件。对台商来大陆投资,我们是欢迎的。我记得去年在记者会上曾经有人提出,希望继续保持对台商投资的优惠政策。我重申:我们会继续提供优惠,让台商、台湾同胞和大陆一起共享发展的机遇。终归我们是一家人。
The peaceful growth of cross-Straits relations has brought new opportunities for people on both sides.According to current statistics, people on Taiwan make 5 million visits across the Straits every year.We will introduce more policies to provide more convenience for people in Taiwan to work and live on the mainland as family.We welcome investment from Taiwan businesses.I recall that at last year’s press conference, I was asked whether the mainland will keep preferential policies toward Taiwan businesses.I wish to reiterate here that such policies will be maintained to enable Taiwan businesses and people to share in China’s development opportunities with their compatriots on the mainland.After all, we are one family.【法兰西广播公司记者】欧盟是中国第二大贸易伙伴,但欧盟对华贸易赤字高达1370亿欧元,这是欧方的统计数字。所以欧盟一些企业对此颇有微词。请问中国如何进一步改进对欧企业的市场准入,以及对于外商投资给予更好的对等待遇?
【Radio France】 The European Union is China’s second largest commercial partner with a trade deficit of 137 billion euros in favor of China and a large number of European businesses complain about that.What is China proposing to improve market access condition for European businesses? And what about better reciprocity of foreign investments?
【李克强】你刚才说的中欧贸易逆差是欧方的统计,讲的很正确。当然,中方从不刻意追求贸易顺差,而且希望看到贸易平衡,否则不可持续。如果说赚钱的话,我想欧洲企业在中国不仅有钱可赚,而且还是赚大头,因为你们处于价值链的高端。如果你们欧洲放宽对华高技术出口,那贸易不平衡的状况就会有明显改善。
Premier Li Keqiang: You rightly referred to the trade deficit figure as EU statistics.The fact of the matter is, China never goes after trade surpluses.What we want is balanced trade, as unbalanced trade would not be sustainable.Talking about profits, I think European companies have not just earned profits in China, but have also taken the lion’s share of such profits, as they are at the higher end of the industrial chain.If the EU could ease its restrictions on high-tech exports to China, I believe that would make a big difference in our trade balance.中国提出和欧盟推进投资协定谈判,希望能够得到积极的回应。有一个高水平的双边投资协定,那必将会有助于双方扩大相互开放。即便暂时没有这个协定,我们也会不断扩大对欧盟企业的准入,让欧盟企业在华投资和中国企业一样,只要注册了,就一视同仁。中欧之间存在贸易摩擦,我们有经验去妥善解决。我这里特别强调,中国始终愿意看到一个团结繁荣稳定的欧盟和强大的欧元,支持欧洲一体化进程,因为这有利于经济全球化、世界多极化和文明多样化。我对欧盟的前景是乐观的,我们对中欧关系的发展前景也是看好的。
China has proposed to the EU to push forward the BIT negotiations.We hope to receive a positive response.A high-standard BIT will help two-way opening-up between the two sides.And pending that, we will continue to widen market access for European businesses and ensure that European-invested companies registered in China receive the same treatment as domestic Chinese enterprises.With respect to trade frictions between the two sides, we have gained good experience in properly addressing them.Here, I want to emphasize that China has all along supported a united, prosperous and stable European Union, a strong euro, and the European integration process.We believe that is good for economic globalization, for a multipolar world and for diversity of civilizations.We feel optimistic about the future of the EU and the future of China-EU relations.【《新京报》记者】这几年雾霾成了百姓心中的一个痛点,严重地影响了大家的生活,但是每当重大活动来的时候蓝天也就回来了,大家都兴高采烈地拍照、刷朋友圈。请问总理,怎么样才能让持续的蓝天不再是奢侈品呢?
【Beijing News】In recent years, smog has caused great public concern and severely affected people’s lives.Yet we also discover that whenever a major event is held, the smog would disappear and people would take pictures of blue skies and post them online with much excitement.So I want to ask you, Mr.Premier, what can you do to make sure that blue skies are no longer a luxury?
【李克强】雾霾问题的确是百姓的痛点。蓝天和空气一样,对每个人都是平等的,我们在座的各位都希望看到更多的蓝天,但中国在发展过程中确实遇到了环保特别是雾霾问题的挑战。我在政府工作报告当中讲了五条措施,会坚定地向前推进,真正打一场―蓝天保卫战‖。但是也坦率地告诉各位,这需要有一个过程。
Premier Li Keqiang: I fully understand that the smog is a huge irritant in people’s lives.Like air, blue skies treat everyone equally.We all want to see more blue-sky days.In the course of development, China is confronted with severe environmental challenges, smog in particular.In my government work report, I laid out five key measures for smog control and we will push them through with full determination to fight and win the battle on smog.But to be honest with you, that will take time.我们治理雾霾目前重点对着燃煤、尾气排放、扬尘等,但今年我参加两会讨论的时候,有科学家说,除此之外还有其他很重要的因素,雾霾的形成机理我们还没完全搞透。他说中国北方冬季的雾霾成因在全世界都是特殊的,当然,这个因素我不便在这儿讲,科学家还要做充分的论证。但是,我想明确,国家为此将设立专项基金,不惜重金组织最优秀的相关科学家攻关,抓紧把雾霾形成的未知因素找出来,使治理雾霾更加有效。
The main targets for smog control would be to tackle coal-burning, vehicle emissions and dust.In addition, during this year’s Two Sessions, I was told by a scientist that apart from these obvious causes, we have not yet fully understood how smog is formed, which is as important.He said, the smog in Northern China during winter is unique compared to that in other parts of the world.Of course, this is not the proper venue to expand on this subject, and the scientists will have to conduct further research.But one thing I can tell you is that we will set up a special fund to bring in the best scientists to dig into this matter regardless of cost and uncover the unknown factors to make our campaign against smog more effective.大自然的阴晴风雨不是人类能支配的,但是我们可以支配我们的行为,可以转变我们的发展方式。我和大家的心情一样,雾霾要治理,蓝天在未来不会也不应该成为奢侈品。
We may not be able to control the weather, but we can adjust our behavior and our way of development.I feel the same way as you all do.Smog must be put under control and blue skies should no longer be a luxury, nor will it be.【《中国消费者报》记者】今天是―3·15‖,请总理给消费者说几句话。
China Consumer News: Today is the Consumers’ Rights Day.Can you say a few words to consumers, Mr.Premier?
【李克强】我和大家一样都是消费者,都需要权益保护,用网络语言说:我们要给优质产品―点赞‖,把不良奸商―拉黑‖。大家共同努力,让我们的优质产品一天一天多起来,让我们的生活一年比一年好。
Premier Li Keqiang: You and I are all consumers, and we all need protection of our rights.To use popular Internet language, we should give ―thumbs-up‖ to quality products and ―blacklist‖ those bad traders.With joint efforts, we will enjoy more quality products and a better life year after year.

三、把改革开放扎实推向纵深 改革开放是推动发展的制胜法宝。必须以经济体制改革为重点全面深化改革,统筹兼顾,真抓实干,在牵动全局的改革上取得新突破,增强发展新动能。
加大简政放权、放管结合改革力度。今年再取消和下放一批行政审批事项,全部取消非行政许可审批,建立规范行政审批的管理制度。深化商事制度改革,进一步简化注册资本登记,逐步实现“三证合一”,清理规范中介服务。制定市场准入负面清单,公布省级政府权力清单、责任清单,切实做到法无授权不可为、法定职责必须为。地方政府对应当放给市场和社会的权力,要彻底放、不截留,对上级下放的审批事项,要接得住、管得好。加强事中事后监管,健全为企业和社会服务一张网,推进社会信用体系建设,建立全国统一的社会信用代码制度和信用信息共享交换平台,依法保护企业和个人信息安全。大道至简,有权不可任性。各级政府都要建立简政放权、转变职能的有力推进机制,给企业松绑,为创业提供便利,营造公平竞争环境。所有行政审批事项都要简化程序,明确时限,用政府权力的“减法”,换取市场活力的“乘法”。
III.Deepening Reform and Opening Up
Reform and opening up is crucial for driving development.We must focus on economic structural reform as we comprehensively deepen reform, taking all things into consideration in planning, working solidly to deliver concrete results, making new breakthroughs in areas that can boost development as a whole, and strengthening new momentum to drive development.We will do more to streamline administration and delegate more powers to lower-level governments and to society in general while improving regulation.This year, we will delegate the power or cancel the requirement for government review for more items, cancel all non-administrative review, and establish a system for exercising well-regulated management over the
government review process.We will deepen reform of the business system;further simplify the process for capital registration;take gradual steps to integrate the business license, the organization code certificate, and the certificate of taxation registration into one certificate;and overhaul and regulate intermediary services.We will draw up a negative list for market access, ensure that provincial-level governments make their lists of powers and responsibilities open to the public, and make sure that anything the law does not authorize is not done, while all duties and functions assigned by law are performed.Local governments must completely let go of powers that should be delegated to the market or society, and properly exercise the power of review over all items that have been delegated to them by higher-level governments.We will exercise stronger oversight both during and after the handling of matters, and improve the network of services for both enterprises and the general public.We will work to improve the credit rating system, put in place a national unified system of codes for rating credit, and establish a platform for sharing and exchanging information on credit.多管齐下改革投融资体制。大幅缩减政府核准投资项目范围,下放核准权限。大幅减少投资项目前置审批,实行项目核准网上并联办理。大幅放宽民间投资市场准入,鼓励社会资本发起设立股权投资基金。政府采取投资补助、资本金注入、设立基金等办法,引导社会资本投入重点项目。以用好铁路发展基金为抓手,深化铁路投融资改革。在基础设施、公用事业等领域,积极推广政府和社会资本合作模式。
不失时机加快价格改革。改革方向是发挥市场在资源配置中的决定性作用,大幅缩减政府定价种类和项目,具备竞争条件的商品和服务价格原则上都要放开。取消绝大部分药品政府定价,下放
We will, in accordance with the law, protect the information security of enterprises and individuals.It goes without saying that powers should not be held without good reason.Governments at all levels need to adopt effective ways to streamline administration, delegate powers, and transform their functions, creating an enabling environment for enterprises, making it easier to start up in business, and creating the right environment for fair competition.Procedures and processes must be simplified and time frames must be clarified for all items requiring administrative review, and cuts to government power will be made to boost market vitality.We will take multiple measures to reform the investment and financing systems.We will substantially reduce the number of investment projects that require government review, delegate more powers of review to lower-level governments, significantly streamline the need for preliminary review for investment projects, and conduct project reviews online.We will greatly relax market access for private investment and encourage the use of private capital to set up equity funds.The government will guide nongovernmental investments toward key projects by subsidizing investments, injecting capital, and establishing funds.We will deepen reform of railway investment and financing by making good use of railway development funds.We will actively promote models of cooperation between government and nongovernmental capital in developing infrastructure and public utilities.We will take timely action to accelerate price reform.This reform is aimed at ensuring the market plays the decisive role in allocating resources and significantly reducing the number of categories and items of goods and services for which prices are set by the government.In 一批基本公共服务收费定价权。扩大输配电价改革试点,推进农业水价改革,健全节能环保价格政策。完善资源性产品价格,全面实行居民阶梯价格制度。同时必须加强价格监管,规范市场秩序,确保低收入群众基本生活。

Creating New Dynamism Through Reform and Innovation
Address at the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting of the New Champions 2014
By Premier Li Keqiang 10 September 2014
尊敬的施瓦布先生,尊敬的各国元首和政府首脑,尊敬的各位来宾,女士们,先生们,朋友们:
Dear Professor Klaus Schwab, Your Excellencies Heads of State and Government, Distinguished Guests, Ladies and Gentlemen, Dear Friends,很高兴和大家相聚中国天津,共同出席第八届夏季达沃斯论坛。我谨代表中国政府对论坛召开表示热烈祝贺!对各位远道而来的嘉宾表示诚挚欢迎!
It gives me great pleasure to meet you here in Tianjin at the eighth Annual Meeting of the New Champions, or the Summer Davos Forum.On behalf of the Chinese government, I wish to extend warm congratulations on the opening of the Forum and a cordial welcome to all of you who have come from afar.本届论坛以“推动创新,创造价值”为主题,具有很强的现实意义。创新是人类社会的永恒话题,也是经济社会发展的不熄引擎。世界经济稳定复苏要靠创新,中国经济提质增效升级也要靠创新。近几年,中国经济之所以能够保持持续发展,向着健康方向前进,主要动力还是来自于改革创新。
The theme for this year's Forum, namely “Creating Value Through Innovation”, is a most relevant one.Innovation is an eternal topic of the human society and an inexhaustible engine driving economic and social development.Innovation is vital to the steady recovery of the world economy.Innovation is also essential to upgrading the Chinese economy and improving its performance.And it is thanks to reform and innovation that the Chinese economy has in recent years maintained steady and sound growth.今年以来,世界经济形势错综复杂,发达国家经济复苏艰难曲折,新兴市场国家经济增速放缓,中国经济下行压力加大。我们坚持稳中求进的工作总基调,保持定力,主动作为,不搞强刺激,没有放松银根,而是强力推进改革,大力调整结构,着力改善民生,保持了经济平稳运行。上半年,中国经济增长7.4%,居民消费价格涨幅为2.3%。在经济增速放缓的情况下,1-8月,31个大中城市调查失业率保持在5%左右,城镇新增就业970多万人,与去年同期相比多增了10多万人。
The global economic environment has remained an intricate one since the beginning of this year.The road to recovery in developed countries has remained bumpy.Growth in emerging market economies has slowed down, and the Chinese economy faces greater downward pressure.Facing this challenging environment, we have continued to follow the general principle of making progress while maintaining stability.We have stayed the course and pursued a proactive approach.Instead of adopting strong economic stimulus or easing monetary policy, we have vigorously promoted reform and economic readjustment, and made efforts to improve people's lives.As a result, we have maintained steady economic performance.In the first half of the year, the Chinese economy registered a 7.4 percent growth, and CPI rise was kept at 2.3 percent.Despite economic slowdown, between January and August, the surveyed unemployment rate was kept at around 5 percent in 31 big and medium-sized cities.More than 9.7 million urban jobs were created, which is over one hundred thousand more compared with the same period last year.经济下行压力加大,但就业不降反增,主要是改革发了力。本届政府成立以来,我们大力推进行政审批制度改革,各部门已取消和下放了600多项行政审批事项,今年又在全国推行商事制度等改革,企业准入的门槛低了,“紧箍咒”松了,极大地调动了全社会创业兴业的热情。1-8月,新登记注册市场主体800多万户,其中3-8月工商登记制度改革后新登记注册企业同比增长61%,出现“井喷式”增长,带动1000万人以上就业。我们不仅推进商事制度改革,而且推进投融资、税收、流通等体制改革,进一步打开了服务业等新兴产业发展的闸门,对扩大就业起到重要的“推进器”、“容纳器”作用。
Despite growing downward pressure on the economy, more jobs were created, thanks to new steps of reform taken.Since the beginning of this government, we have advanced the reform of the administrative review and approval system.Government departments have removed or delegated to lower levels administrative approval on over 600 items, and this year, the business registration reform, among others, has been carried out nationwide.This has lowered the threshold for starting businesses and removed restrictions on them, thus giving a great boost to business development in the whole country.Between January and August, the amount of newly registered market entities was more than eight million, and from March to August, with the business registration reform, the number of newly registered businesses grew by 61 percent over the previous year, all pointing to a massive upsurge which has generated more than 10 million jobs.In addition to reforming the business registration system, we have also introduced reforms to investment financing, taxation and logistics systems, and further opened the gate for the development of the service sector and other emerging industries.All these measures have been vital in fostering and increasing job opportunities.中国经济的积极变化,不仅表现在就业增加和居民收入增长上,也体现在结构优化上。简政放权加上“定向减税”、“定向降准”等财税金融措施,有力地支持了服务业、“三农”、小微企业、民营企业和新兴业态的发展。上半年,物流快递、电子商务等新产业、新商业模式迅速成长;新登记注册服务业企业增幅达70%以上,第三产业增速和比重继续超过第二产业,在国民经济中处于领先地位;民间投资占固定资产投资比重同比提高1.4个百分点;高技术产业和装备制造业增长均快于工业整体增长。
The positive changes in China's economy are not only reflected in the increase of jobs and residents' incomes, but also in the structural upgrading.We have streamlined administration, delegated powers to the lower levels, and adopted fiscal, taxation and financial measures such as targeted tax reduction and targeted reduction of required bank reserve ratio.All these measures have spurred the growth of the service sector, agriculture, rural area and the welfare of farmers, as well as small and micro-businesses, private businesses and emerging industries.In the first half of the year, new businesses and new business models such as logistics, express delivery and e-commerce all developed fast.The number of newly registered service businesses surged by more than 70 percent.The tertiary industry continued to outperform the secondary industry in terms of growth rate and share of GDP, and is a leading sector of the economy.The share of private investment in fixed asset investment increased by 1.4 percentage points year on year.High-tech industries and equipment manufacturing grew faster than the industrial average.结构调整深入推进,提高了经济增长质量。我们以改革创新为动力,一手抓压减过剩产能,尤其是淘汰落后产能,一手抓培育新的增长点。上半年,高耗能、高排放行业投资和生产增速明显放慢。单位GDP能耗同比下降4.2%,碳排放强度下降5%左右,是多年来降幅最大的。
Deepening structural readjustment has improved the quality of economic growth.On the basis of carrying out reform and innovation, we have reduced overcapacity, eliminating outdated capacity in particular, and fostered new growth areas.In the first half of the year, the growth of investment and production of industries with high energy consumption and emissions noticeably slowed down.The per unit GDP energy consumption dropped by 4.2 percent year on year, and carbon intensity was cut by about 5 percent, the largest drop in many years.经济总体平稳、稳中提质,重要的是我们实施了区间调控下的定向调控,抓住经济社会发展的关键领域和薄弱环节,更多运用改革创新的办法,聚焦在“激活力、补短板、强实体”上,精准发力,定向施策。这实际上是一种结构性调控,既包括改革,也包括调整,努力使市场在资源配置中起决定性作用,大力破除市场障碍;更好发挥政府作用,努力促进社会公平。我们积极平衡国内国外需求,协调区域发展,缩小城乡差距,稳定农产品供给;我们还加强了中西部铁路、棚户区改造、污染防治等民生和发展工程建设,扩大的都是长期制约平衡发展的“瓶颈”,有力地支持了新型城镇化,也有效地增加了公共产品供给。
We have managed to ensure steady growth and improve the quality of the Chinese economy by taking targeted, range-based macro-control measures.With focus on key areas and weak links of China's economic and social development, we have used more reform and innovation measures to incentivize market entities, strengthen weak links, boost the real economy and ensure that our efforts are well-targeted.This approach, which was also structural adjustment in nature, involved both reform and readjustments.We have strived to remove market obstacles and make the market play a decisive role in resources allocation.We have also endeavored to improve the role of the government and promote social equity.We have worked actively to balance domestic and international demands, coordinate regional development, narrow the gap between rural and urban areas and stabilize agricultural supply and demand.We have strengthened the construction of railways in central and western China, the renovation of rundown areas, as well as pollution control and prevention and other livelihood and development projects.We have actively tackled the bottlenecks that have long constrained China's balanced development.All of these have vigorously supported the process toward a new type of industrialization and effectively increased the supply of public goods.在国际国内经济出现新常态下,我们保持定力、深处着力,更加关注结构调整等长期问题,并不随单项指标的短期小幅波动而起舞。比如说,7、8月份用电量、货运量等指标出现一些波动,这是难以避免的,也是在预料之中的,因为国内外经济形势仍然复杂多变,而且去年下半年我们发展的基数也比较高。看中国经济,不能只看眼前、看局部、看“单科”,更要看趋势、看全局、看“总分”。我们坚持区间调控的基本思路,只要经济增速保持在7.5%左右,高一点,低一点,都属于合理区间。尤其应当看到,稳增长是为了保就业,调控的下限是比较充分的就业。随着总量扩大,尤其是服务业发展迅速,经济增长的就业容量扩大了,对波动的容忍度也提高了。还要看到,中国经济有巨大韧性、潜力、回旋余地,我们采取的措施既利当前、更惠长远,有能力防范出现大的起伏,更不会发生“硬着陆”。但并不是说我们在发展中没有困难和挑战。相反,我们遇到的困难和挑战依然是艰巨的。Facing the new normal state of the global and the Chinese economy, we have remained level-headed and taken steps to tackle deep-seated challenges.We focused more on structural readjustment and other long-term problems, and refrained from being distracted by the slight short-term fluctuations of individual indicators.In July and August, electricity consumption, freight volume and other indicators fluctuated somewhat.That was inevitable and within our expectation.It was because the domestic and international economic situation was still complex and volatile and base figures for the second half of last year were relatively high.When observing the Chinese economy, one should not just focus on its short-term performance or the performance of a particular sector.Rather, one should look at the overall trend, the bigger picture and the total score.Judging by the principle of range-based macro-control, we believe the actual economic growth rate is within the proper range, even if it might be slightly higher or lower than the 7.5 percent target.In particular, we should realize that an important goal of maintaining stable growth is to ensure employment, and the floor of the proper range is to ensure relatively adequate employment.As the economic aggregate continues to expand, and in particular, as the service sector develops rapidly, growth will mean more jobs and there will be greater tolerance to fluctuations.We should also be clear that China's economy is highly resilient and has much potential and ample space to grow, and we have a full range of tools of macro-control at our disposal.The measures we have taken are good both for now and for longer-term interests, and will therefore enable us to prevent major fluctuations and make a “hard landing” even less possible.However, this is not denying that our development faces difficulties and challenges.On the contrary, we are indeed confronted with enormous difficulties and challenges.今年后四个月,我们将统筹稳增长、促改革、调结构、惠民生、防风险,不断完善和创新宏观调控思路和方式,在区间调控的基础上加强定向调控,推进结构性改革与调整,抱定壮士断腕、背水一战的决心,推动牵一发而动全身的重点改革,着眼解决长远问题。一是继续从政府自身革命做起,进一步加大简政放权力度,深化财税改革,推进预算管理制度改革,使公共资金公平有效使用,继续扩大支持服务业尤其是研发企业发展的“营改增”试点;深化金融改革,推进民营银行试点工作,清理规范金融业准入限制,推进多层次资本市场发展;深化国有企业改革;推进价格改革,完善能源产品、药品和医疗服务价格形成机制;深化投资体制改革,推进政府购买服务、公私合作模式和特许经营制度。二是继续围绕破解深层次结构性矛盾,进一步增加公共产品有效供给,以带动有效需求,补上投资短板,扩大居民消费,拓展新的增长领域。三是继续用好和盘活财政、金融增量和存量资金,进一步加大对实体经济和新兴产业、新兴业态的支持,更多惠及“三农”、小微企业和服务业等。通过我们的努力,把“改革的红利”转化为“发展新动能”、“民生新福祉”。中国有信心、有能力、也有条件不断克服困难,实现今年经济社会发展的主要预期目标。In the four months ahead, we will coordinate the efforts to stabilize growth, promote reform, readjust the structure, improve people's livelihoods and prevent risks.We will continue to improve and innovate in the thinking and approaches of macro-control, strengthen targeted macro-control on the basis of range-based macro-control, promote structural reform and readjustments, carry out reforms in key areas of systemic importance with every determination to forge ahead and focus on addressing long-term problems.First, we will continue to press ahead with revolutionizing the government itself and further intensify efforts to streamline administration and delegate powers.We will deepen fiscal and taxation reform, promote reform of the budgetary management system so as to use public funds in an equitable and effective way, and continue to expand the pilot programs for business tax to VAT reform which is conducive to the development of the service sector, particularly the R&D companies.We will deepen financial reform, promote the pilot programs for non-state owned banks, sort out and standardize the limit requirements on access to the financial sector and develop a multi-tiered capital market.We will deepen the reform of state-owned enterprises.We will deepen price reform and improve the pricing mechanisms for energy products, medicine and medical services.We will deepen reform of the investment system and implement government purchase of service contracting, public-private cooperation models and franchise operation system.Second, we will continue to focus on tackling the deep-seated structural problems, further increase the effective supply of public goods to generate effective demand, strengthen weak links in investment, increase household consumption and nurture new growth areas.Third, we will continue to ensure efficient use of both the existing and the increase of fiscal and financial resources and further scale up support for the real economy and emerging industries and businesses, for the greater benefit of rural areas, agriculture and farmers, as well as micro-businesses and the service sector.These efforts are aimed at turning the gains of reform into new dynamism of development that would bring more benefit to the people.We have all the confidence, ability and resources to overcome the difficulties and realize the major goals of China's economic and social development in 2014.女士们,先生们!Ladies and Gentlemen,中国还是一个发展中国家,必须始终坚持以经济建设为中心。发展是硬道理,是解决一切问题的根本。经济发展方式不转变不行,经济发展不适度也不行。当然,我们所说的发展,是就业和收入增加的发展,是质量效益提高和节能环保的发展,也就是符合经济规律、社会规律和自然规律的科学发展。
China is still a developing country.We must give top priority to economic development.Only development will deliver progress.Ultimately, it is only development that will resolve all the problems in China.We cannot advance without changing the growth model, nor can we advance without adequate development.Of course, the development we pursue should be one that promotes employment, increases incomes, improves economic performance and boosts energy conservation and environmental protection.It should be scientific development, namely, sound and balanced development that is in keeping with the laws governing economic activities, social development and nature.当前,世界经济不稳定不确定因素依然较多,中国经济正处于深层次矛盾凸显和“三期叠加”的阶段,到了爬坡过坎的关键时候。下半年和今后一段时间,我们将进一步加快经济发展方式的转变,以结构性改革促进结构性调整,用好创新这把“金钥匙”,着力推进体制创新和科技创新,使中国经济保持中高速增长、迈向中高端水平,创造价值,打造中国经济升级版。
Currently, there are many destabilizing and uncertain factors in the global economy, and China's economic development also faces an array of overlapping and deep-seated problems.It is in a critical stage where its path upward is particularly steep.In the latter half of the year and beyond, we will further accelerate the transformation of the development model, push forward structural readjustment through structural reform, make good use of the “golden key” of innovation and promote institutional innovation as well as innovation in science and technology.By so doing, we will be able to maintain a medium-high growth rate, move toward medium-high level of development, create more value and upgrade the Chinese economy.加快体制机制创新步伐。中国经济每一回破茧成蝶,靠的都是创新。创新不单是技术创新,更包括体制机制创新、管理创新、模式创新。中国30多年来改革开放本身就是规模宏大的创新行动,今后创新发展的巨大潜能依然蕴藏在体制改革之中。试想,13亿人口中有8、9亿的劳动者,如果他们都投入创业和创新创造,这将是巨大的力量。关键是要进一步解放思想,进一步解放和发展社会创造力,进一步激发企业和市场活力,破除一切束缚发展的体制机制障碍,让每个有创业意愿的人都拥有自主创业的空间,让创新创造的血液在全社会自由流动,让自我发展的精神在群众中蔚然成风。借改革创新的“东风”,在中国960万平方公里土地上掀起一个“大众创业”、“草根创业”的新浪潮,中国人民勤劳智慧的“自然禀赋”就会充分发挥,中国经济持续发展的“发动机”就会更新换代升级。
We will accelerate the pace of institutional innovation.Innovation has been the ultimate cause of the leapfrog development of the Chinese economy.China's innovation involves not only technology but more of institution, management and growth models.China's reform and opening-up for the past three decades and more has in itself been a huge innovation drive, and the huge, untapped potential of innovation and development in the future still lies in institutional reform.Just imagine how big a force it could be when the 800 or 900 million laborers among the 1.3 billion population are engaged in entrepreneurship, innovation and creation.I believe the key to realizing that is to further liberate our mind, further liberate and develop the creativity of society, further energize businesses and the market, and remove all institutional obstacles to development so that everyone interested in starting a business is given more space for entrepreneurship and the blood of innovation could flow unhampered in a society where everyone is full of the spirit of self-development.When reform and innovation fuels the massive wave of entrepreneurship by the people and at the grassroots level on the land of the 9.6 million square kilometers of China, the enormous power of the diligent and resourceful Chinese people will be fully unlocked and the engine driving China's sustained economic development will constantly regenerate itself and remain powerful.中国全面深化改革未有穷期,政府带头自我革命,“开弓没有回头箭”。我们将继续深化行政管理体制改革,力争用更短的时间完成取消和下放行政审批事项的五年任务,释放市场潜能和发展动力。如果说简政放权是“先手棋”,那么制度建设就是“连环炮”。一方面,要拿出“权力清单”,政府应该干什么,“法无授权不可为”,这样才能防止公权滥用,减少寻租现象,使政府真正履行为人民、为大众服务的职责。另一方面,要给出“负面清单”,企业不能干什么,“法无禁止皆可为”,这样才能形成公开透明、预期稳定的制度安排,促进企业活力充分迸发。还有一方面,就是要拿出“责任清单”,政府该怎么管市场,“法定责任必须为”,以建立和维护诚信经营、公平竞争的市场环境,激发企业动力,鼓励创新创造。政府要加强事中事后监管,当好市场秩序的“裁判员”和改革创新的“守护者”。“只有拔掉杂草,稻谷才能长得茂盛”。宽容违法者,就是对守法者的不公,甚至会导致“劣币驱逐良币”的现象。对假冒伪劣、坑蒙拐骗、窃取商业机密等行为,不管是国内企业还是国外企业,都要一视同仁依法加以惩治。保护知识产权,就是保护发明创造的火种、维护创新者的权益。对严重侵犯知识产权的行为,要依法严惩,包括实行巨额赔偿惩罚,使违法者付出难以承受的代价,为创新助力。
China's effort to comprehensively deepen reform is an ongoing process.The government is taking the lead in conducting a “self-targeted revolution”.Just like an arrow shot, there will be no turning back.We will deepen the reform in the administrative approval system.We hope to complete the task of removing and delegating items subject to government approval, originally planned for five years, in a shorter period of time.This is to unleash the potential of the market and the driving force for development.If streamlining administration and delegating power is like taking a proactive move in the chess game, then introducing new systems is like a “serial blast”.On the one hand, we should provide the list of government powers which defines the scope of what the government should do.Items not found on the list will be deemed as not permissible.Only in this way could we prevent the abuse of government power, reduce rent-seeking and ensure that the government better performs its duty of serving the people.On the other, a negative list should be formulated which defines areas off-limits to businesses.Items not found on the list will be deemed as permissible.Only by so doing could we build open and transparent systematic arrangements with stable expectations and bring about enterprises' vitality to the fullest extent.Moreover, we should formulate a list of government responsibilities to define how the government should regulate the market.All items on the list should be fulfilled by the government.Only by so doing could we build and sustain a market environment that favors honest operations and fair play, energizes businesses and encourages innovation and creativity.The government should enhance ongoing and ex-post oversight and perform its role well both as a referee of the market order and as a guardian of reform and innovation.As a saying goes, only by weeding out the barnyard grass can rice grow properly.Being lenient to law breakers is tantamount to doing wrong to law abiding people.It could even result in “bad money driving out the good”.We will mete out stringent punishment to companies, domestic or foreign, that are involved in producing counterfeit, fake and shoddy products, engaging in fraud and deception, and stealing trade secrets.Protecting intellectual property rights is in fact protecting the kindling of innovation and creativity and the rights and interests of innovators.We will penalize serious IPR infringement to the fullest extent in accordance with the law, including imposing heavy fines to make law breakers pay insufferable prices, so as to propel innovation.加大科技创新力度。中国经济虽然已居世界前列,但许多产业仍处在世界的中低端,传统的粗放式增长路径已经行不通了,必须更多地依靠科技进步调整结构。这是一种战略性、结构性、创新性调整。我们将坚持有扶有控、有保有压,培育壮大新产品、新业态,促进服务业、高技术产业、新兴产业加快发展;积极化解产能过剩矛盾,加快传统产业改造步伐,淘汰落后产能,提升中国产品和服务业在全球价值链中的位置,使创新真正能创造出更高的价值;加强人力资本投入,提高劳动者素质,提升产业技术、质量和品牌水平。特别是要通过加快改革,解除对个体、对企业创新的种种束缚,中国有各类专业技术人员和各类技能劳动者近两亿人。如果这么多人哪怕是大部分人都能发挥出他们的聪明才智,形成“万众创新”、“人人创新”的新态势,体力加脑力,制造加创造,开发出先进技术乃至所谓颠覆性技术,中国发展就一定能够创造更多价值,上新台阶。
We will step up science and technology innovation.The Chinese economy is among the largest in the world, but in many sectors China still ranks fairly low and its traditional, extensive way of seeking growth has been proved unsustainable.Readjusting the structure must be driven, more than ever, by science and technology progress, and that requires strategic, structural, and innovative readjustment.We will support and provide guarantee to certain sectors and curb and scale back some others, cultivate and promote new products and new businesses and speed up the development of service, high technology and emerging sectors.At the same time, we will phase out overcapacity, accelerate the transformation of traditional sectors and eliminate outdated capacity so that Chinese products and China's service sector can move up the global value chain and more value could be created through innovation.We must invest more in human capital and increase the ranks of high-caliber workers.We will improve the technological sophistication, quality and brand awareness of Chinese industries.In particular, we need to step up reforms to remove restraints on innovation by individuals and companies.When the talent of all, or at least most of the nearly 200 million professionals and skilled workers is brought to the full, a new pattern of innovation by the people and innovation by all, supported by the massive physical and mental power of the people and the strength of China's manufacturing and creative capability, will be fostered.This, coupled with the development of advanced and even revolutionary technologies, will create more value and move China's development to a higher level.中国城乡和区域发展还很不平衡,差距大、潜力也大。推进以人为核心的新型城镇化,是最大的结构调整。我们将抓住世界新技术和产业革命机遇,加快“宽带中国”、“智慧城市”等建设,发挥城市星罗棋布带动广阔腹地发展的作用,促进城乡一体化和区域梯度开发,实现新型工业化、信息化、城镇化和农业现代化同步发展;同时,大力发展民生事业,促进基本公共服务均等化,加强社会保障,包括为创业者中的失败者提供保障,这也是为他们再次创业提供机会。我们将继续扩大居民消费,形成内需拉动经济增长的新动力。China faces uneven development between its urban and rural areas and among its different regions.But the existing disparity, which is quite striking, can entail a huge potential.Promoting a people-centered, new type of urbanization will be in itself the biggest structural readjustment.We will seize opportunities brought by technological advances and global industrial revolution to speed up the development of such schemes as “broadband China” and “smart cities”, leverage the role of cities across the country in galvanizing hinterland development, promote urban-rural integration and a gradient development of different regions and bring about a synchronized progress of the new type of industrialization, IT application, urbanization and agricultural modernization.At the same time, we will vigorously develop programs related to people's wellbeing, promote equal access to basic public services and strengthen social security, including providing security to those who failed in their entrepreneurial endeavor to help them restart businesses.We will continue to increase household consumption and make sure that greater internal demand could serve as a new power to drive economic growth.中国经济还处于发展中阶段,但资源环境矛盾已经十分突出,必须加大节能环保力度。应对气候变化,既是中国作为一个负责任大国应尽的义务,也是我们自身发展的迫切需要。中国加强生态文明建设只会前进,不会倒退。我们已提出向污染宣战,并认真履行相应的国际责任,正在研究2030年前后中国控制温室气体排放行动目标,这其中包括二氧化碳排放峰值、碳排放强度比例下降、非化石能源比重上升等。中国推进绿色、循环、低碳发展不仅有决心,而且有能力,我们将紧紧依靠科技创新,进行艰苦卓绝、持续不断的努力,来加大环境治理力度,加快发展节能环保产业,着力完成节能减排任务,与世界各国一道为应对全球气候变化采取实实在在的行动。
The Chinese economy, now heading toward further growth, is also being weighed down by increasing resources and environmental constraints.It is imperative for us to enhance energy conservation and environmental protection.Tackling climate change is not only our binding international obligation as a major responsible country, but also the pressing need for our own development.There is no turning back in China's commitment to a sound eco-system.We have declared war on pollution and earnestly fulfilled our due international responsibilities.We are studying the action targets on greenhouse gas emissions control, including the peak of CO2 emission, the carbon emission intensity reduction and the increase in the share of non-fossil energy by 2030 and beyond.We have the resolve, the will and the capability to pursue green, circular and low-carbon development.We will keep focusing on scientific and technological innovation and make hard and unremitting efforts to step up environmental management, boost the development of energy conservation and environment protection sectors, fulfill the task of energy conservation and emissions reduction, and work with other countries to effectively address global climate change.女士们,先生们!Ladies and Gentlemen,人类已进入经济全球化深入发展的时代,各国利益相互依存,彼此命运休戚与共,世界离不开中国,中国也离不开世界。中国实现“两个一百年”奋斗目标和中华民族伟大复兴“中国梦”,将会给世界带来发展机遇和巨大市场。各国间不应再是你输我赢、“零和博弈”,而应该是双赢多赢、互利共赢,唯此世界才能繁荣进步。中国将坚定不移走和平发展道路,我们是国际体系的积极参与者、建设者和贡献者。我们致力于维护和平稳定的大环境,主张遵循国际关系基本准则,以和平方式、政治手段、通过对话解决地区冲突与热点问题。我们愿与亚洲邻国不断深化合作,妥善处理分歧,维护稳定安全大局,维护和平的秩序。我们倡导开放公平的全球统一大市场,支持多边自贸安排和双边自贸区建设“两个轮子一起转”,努力形成“面向全球的高标准自贸区网络”,反对各种形式的保护主义,更不赞成打贸易战。我们坚持实行更加积极主动的开放战略,完善开放型经济体系,重视稳定出口,也积极扩大进口,加快服务业、沿边和中西部地区开放,保持外资政策稳定,而且会更加开放。我们将不断完善和规范营商环境,继续吸引外国企业来华投资兴业,同时学习国外先进的技术、成熟管理经验和优秀的文化成果,兼容并蓄、消化吸收。中国永远做一个开放的大国、学习的大国、包容的大国,从中国国情出发,努力建设成为一个创新的大国。We now live in an era defined by deepening economic globalization, with countries increasingly depending on one another in interests and sharing their destinies closely.The world needs China, and China needs the world.China's endeavor to realize the two centenary goals(namely, to complete the building of a moderately prosperous society in all respects when the Communist Party of China celebrates its centenary in 2021, and to turn China into a modern socialist country that is prosperous, strong, democratic, culturally advanced and harmonious when the People's Republic of China celebrates its centenary in 2049)and the Chinese dream of the great renewal of the Chinese nation will present great development opportunities and a huge market to the world.Instead of “I win, you lose” or a “zero-sum game”, we need win-win or all-win, which ensures mutual benefit.Only in this way could the world prosper and advance forward.China is resolute in following the path of peaceful development.China is a defender and builder of the existing international system and is dedicated to maintaining an overall environment of peace and stability.We call for observance of the basic norms governing international relations and believe that regional conflicts and hotspot issues should be solved peacefully and politically through dialogue.We stand ready to deepen cooperation with our Asian neighbors, properly handle differences as there may be, maintain the overall interest of stability and security and uphold the order of peace.We advocate the building of an open, fair and integrated global market and support the establishment of both multilateral free trade arrangements and bilateral FTAs, in order to build a high-standard FTA network that is globally oriented.We oppose protectionism in all its forms and do not favor fighting trade wars.We will continue to pursue a more proactive strategy of opening-up and improve the open economic system.We will focus on stabilizing export and actively expanding import.We will move faster to bring greater openness in the service sector, as well as China's areas bordering other countries and its vast central and western regions.We will follow a stable and more open policy on foreign capital.We will continue to improve and standardize the business environment, in order to attract more foreign businesses and investment and draw upon and adopt the advanced technologies, mature managerial expertise and fine cultural achievements of other countries.China will always be a major country committed to learning from others and to being open and inclusive.Acting on the basis of its actual conditions, China will strive to become a major country driven by innovation.“大智兴邦,不过集众思”。也就是说,智慧来自于大众。我刚才强调的大众创业、万众创新将会迸发出灿烂的火花。我们比任何时候都需要改革创新,更需要分享改革创新成果。这用中国的成语说,就是众人拾柴火焰高。希望与会各位畅所欲言,共同探索改革创新和开放发展之路,共同谋划创造价值与互利共赢之策,为中国经济社会发展、为世界繁荣进步作出应有的努力与贡献。
As the saying goes, great vision that makes a country prosper is but the result of collective wisdom.In other words, wisdom comes from the people.In the same line, the massive entrepreneurship and innovation by all, as I emphasized earlier, will generate enormous power.Today more than any other time, we need reform and innovation and the sharing of the result of reform and innovation.To use a Chinese idiom, the fire will burn higher when everyone adds wood to it.I hope that all our distinguished participants will speak up your minds, jointly explore ways for reform, innovation and open development, share your views on how to create value and achieve mutual benefit, and do what you can to help China's economic development and world prosperity and progress.预祝本届夏季达沃斯论坛圆满成功!愿各位嘉宾在华工作顺利、身体健康!Let me conclude by wishing this Summer Davos a complete success, and I wish all of you a successful Forum and very good health!
谢谢大家!Thank you.
