2005年政府工作报告全文（中英文对照）

各位代表：

现在，我代表国务院，向大会作政府工作报告，请予审议，并请全国政协各位委员提出意见。

一、过去一年工作回顾

2004年，全国各族人民在中国共产党领导下，高举邓小平理论和“三个代表”重要思想伟大旗帜，团结奋进，锐意创新，社会主义现代化事业取得令人鼓舞的重大成就。过去一年，我们是 在应对新的挑战和考验中前进的。近两年我国经济运行中出现了一些新问题，主要是粮食供求关系趋紧，固定资产投资膨胀，货币信贷投放过

快，煤电油运紧张。如果任其发展下去，局部性问题就会演变为全局性问题。党中央、国务院审时度势，及时

作出了加强宏观调控的决策和部署，按照果断有力、适时适度、区别对待、注重实效的原则，综合运用经济、法律手段和必要的行政手段，着力解决影响经济平稳较快发展的突出问题。经过全国上下共同努力，宏观调控

取得明显成效。经济运行中不稳定不健康因素得到抑制，薄弱环节得到加强，避免了经济大的起落。

一年来的成就集中表现在：经济保持平稳较快发展，综合国力进一步增强；改革取得重要进展，对外开放实现

新突破；社会事业加快发展，人民生活继续改善。2004年，国内生产总值达到13.65万亿元，比上年增长9.5%；

财政收入2.63万亿元，增长21.4%；社会消费品零售总额5.4万亿元，增长13.3%；进出口贸易总额1.15万亿美元，增长35.7%，由上年居世界第四位上升为第三位；城镇新增就业980万人，超过预期目标；城镇居民人均可支

配收入9422元，农村居民人均纯收入2936元，扣除价格因素，分别实际增长7.7%和6.8%。这些成就，标志着我

国在全面建设小康社会道路上又迈出坚实的一步。

一年来，我们主要做了以下几方面工作。

(一)采取更直接、更有力的政策措施，促进粮食增产和农民增收。这次宏观调控是从加强农业入手的。主要措

施是：减免农业税

取消除烟叶以外的农业特产税，对种粮农民实行直接补贴，对部分地区农民实行良种补贴和农机具购置补贴，对重点粮食品种实行最低收购价政策。大幅度增加对农业、农村特别是粮食主产区的建设投入。全年中央财政

用于“三农”的支出共2626亿元，增长22.5%。同时，推进农业结构调整，多渠道增加农民收入。这些政策措施

力度之大，农民得到实惠之多，是多年来少有的，极大地调动了广大农民的积极性。粮食生产出现重要转机，全年粮食总产量 达到46947万吨，增产3877万吨。粮食增产和农民增收，对于稳定经济全局起到了至关重要的作用。

(二)控制固定资产投资过快增长，大力加强薄弱环节。主要是严把土地审批和信贷投放两个闸门，控制投资需

求膨胀，遏制部分行业盲目投资和低水平重复建设。深入整顿和规范土地市场秩序，全面清理各类开发区；暂

同胞、澳门特别行政区同胞和台湾同胞，以及广大侨胞，向一切关心和支持中国现代化建设的各国朋友，表示

诚挚的感谢！

过去一年，我们不仅大步推进各项事业，而且在丰富的实践中思想认识得到升华。各级政府增强了贯彻中央决

策和部署的自觉性，提高了用好重要战略机遇期、更好推动发展的认识和能力。我们的主要体会是：

——必须坚持树立和落实科学发展观。科学发展观是中国共产党对社会主义现代化建设指导思想的新发展。它

进一

步明确了发展是硬道理，要以经济建设为中心，注重提高经济增长质量和效益；要以人为本，注重“五个统筹”，实现经济社会全面协调可持续发展。无论是解决当前经济运行中的突出矛盾和问题，还是全面建设小康社

会，都必须以科学发展观为指导。要把科学发展观贯彻到改革开放和现代化建设的全过程。

——必须坚持加强和改善宏观调控。近两年来的宏观调控，是认真落实科学发展观的重要实践。宏观调控与市

场机制都是社会主义市场经 济体制的有机组成部分。要更大程度地发挥市场在资源配置中的基础性作用，同时

要搞好宏观调控。关键是要根据经济运行的变化，把握好调控的方向、重点、时机和力度，改进调控方式方法，主要运用经济、法律手段，辅之以必要的行政手段，促进经济平稳运行和持续较快发展。

——必须坚持推进改革开放。我国经济体制改革仍处在攻坚阶段。要坚定不移地深化改革，消除阻碍经济发展

和造成经济不稳定的体制性根源，为实现经济社会全面协调可持续发展提供制度保障。在推进经济体制改革的同时，要协调推进政治体制改革和其他方面的改革。要坚持以开放促改革、促发展，全面提高对外开放水平，建设更加开放、更具活力的经济体系。

——必须坚持处理好全局和局部的关系。全国经济是一个有机整体，应当按照“全国一盘棋”的战略布局，充

分发挥各个地区的优势，调动中央和地方两个积极性。国家制定方针政策，必须考虑全局利益和长远发展，又

要照顾不同地区、不同行业的特点；地方要充分发挥各自的积极性，又必须服从国家全局和长远发展的需要。

——必须坚持按客观规律办事。我国现代化建设要始终坚持从国情出发，自觉遵循客观规律。既要积极进取，抓住机遇加快发展，又不能脱离实际条件，盲目扩大建设规模、片面追求经济增长速度。否则，欲速则不达，还会造成严重损失。经济工作和其他工作都要注重实效，把发挥主观能动性和遵循客观规律统一起来。

——必须坚持把人民群众利益放

在第一位。要切实维护人民群众的经济、政治和文化权益，着力解决关系群众切身利益的突出问题，保障城乡

困难群众的基本生活。不断满足人们日益增长的物质文化需要，是社会主义现代化建设的根本目的。只有执政

为民，我们的各项事业才能获得最广泛最可靠的群众基础和力量源泉。

总结一年来的工作，我们清醒地看到，经济社会发展中还存在不少问题和困难。一是经济运行中的突出矛盾虽

有所缓解，但尚未根本解决。农业基础薄弱的状 况没有明显改变，保持粮食增产和农民增收的难度增加；固定

资产投资还有可能反弹；煤电油运仍相当紧张；物价上涨的压力较大。二是社会发展中的问题突出。一些地方

特别是广大农村教育、卫生、文化等社会事业需要解决的问题较多；城乡之间、地区之间发展差距和部分社会

成员之间收入差距过大；部分低收入群众生活比较困难；影响社会稳定的因素不少。三是经济社会发展中的一

些长期性问题和深层次矛盾依然存在。主要是：就业压力巨大；经济结构不合理，产业技术水平低，第三产业

发展滞后；投资率持续偏高，消费率偏低；经济增长方式粗放，资源约束和环境压力加大。特别是制约经济社

会健康发展的体制性机制性问题仍很突出。

我们也清醒地看到，政府工作还存在不少缺点。政府自身改革和职能转变滞后，行政审批事项仍然过多，社会

管理和公共服务职能比较薄弱；一些部门之间职责不清、协调不力，管理方式落后，办事效率不高；有些关系

群众利益的问题还没有得到根本解决；有些政府工作人员依法行政观念不强；形式主义、官僚主义、弄虚作假

和奢侈浪费的问题比较突出；腐败现象在一些地方、部门和单位比较严重。

对以上问题，我们要高度重视并继续采取措施加以解决。要增强忧患意识和责任感，戒骄戒躁，励精图治，知

难而进，坚持不懈地做好工作，绝不辜负人民的重托和期望。

二、2005年工作总体部署

今年，是全面完成“十五”任务、为“十一五”发展打好基础的关键一年。（政府工作的基本思路是：以邓小平理论和“三个代表”重要思想为指导，认真贯彻党的十六大和十六届三中、四中全会精神，坚持用科学发展观统领经济社会发展全局，加强和改善宏观调控，以改革开放为动力推进各项

工作，构建社会主义和谐社会，推动社会主义物质文明、政治文明和精神文明共同进步。

综合考虑国内外各种因素，今年经济社会发展主要预期目标是：国内生产总值增长8%左右；城镇新增就业900万

人，城镇登记失业率控制在4.6%；居民消费价格总水平涨幅控制在4%；国际收支保持基本平衡。

保持经济平稳较快发展，是政府工作必须把握好的重大问题。我国正处于重要战略机遇期，经济应有较快发展，但增长速度也要适当。经济大起或大落，都不利于经济发展，不利于改革开放，不利于社会稳定。中央提出

今年经济增长预期目标为8%左右，是为了使预期目标符合实际情况，既考虑需要，也考虑可能，兼顾了就业、物价等其他预期目标的要求。在社会主义市场经济条件下，经济社会发展预期目标是指导性的，可以根据经济

运行的变化进行调整。各地区应当从实际出发，实事求是地提出本地区经济社会发展的预期目标，切实把工作

重点放在提高经济增长质量和效益上，不要盲目攀比经济增长速度。

全面完成今年经济社会发展的各项任务，在工作指导和部署上，要突出抓好三个方面：一是着力搞好宏观调控。进一步消除经济运行中不稳定不健康因素，推进经济结构调整和增长方式转变，保持经济平稳较快发展，保

持价格总水平基本稳定。二是着力推进改革开放。坚持以改革推动各项工作，把深化改革同落实科学发展观、加强和改善宏观调控结合起来，注重用改革的办法解决影响发展的体制问题。全面提高对外开放水平，更好地

利用国内国际两个市场、两种资源。三是着力建设和谐社会。建设民主法治、公平正义、诚信友爱、充满活力、安定有序、人与自然和谐相处的社会主义和谐社会，要广泛团结一切可以团结的力量，充分调动一切积极因

素，激发

全社会的创造活力；要妥善处理各方面利益关系，让全体人民共享改革和建设的成果；要正确处理改革发展稳

定的关系，努力为经济社会持续发展创造有利条件和良好环境。

三、继续保持经济平稳较快发展

今年经济发展要着重抓好以下四个方面工作。

(一)坚持加强和改善宏观调控。从当前经济运行情况看，宏观调控工作不能放松。今年要实行稳健的财政政策

和稳健的货币政策，加强各项宏观经济政策的协调配合。要更好地贯 彻区别对待、有保有压的原则，更加注重

发挥市场机制的作用，更加注重运用经济手段和法律手段，巩固和发展宏观调控成果。

实施稳健的财政政策。1998年以来，为了应对亚洲金融危机影响和国内需求不足问题，中央实行了积极的财政

政策。实践证明，这一政策是正确的，取得了显著成效。鉴于目前投资规模已经很大、社会资金增加较多，有

必要也有条件由扩张性的积极财政政策转向松紧适度的稳健财政政策。今年要适当减少财政赤字，适当减少长

期建设国债发行规模。拟安排中央财政赤字3000亿元，比上年预算减少198亿元；拟发行长期建设国债800亿元，比上年减少300亿元，同时增加中央预算内经常性建设投资100亿元。继续发行一定规模的长期建设国债，主

要是为了加大对“三农”、社会发展、生态建设和环境保护等薄弱环节的投入，支持西部大开发、东北地区等

老工业基地振兴，支持老、少、边、穷地区加快发展；还有一部分在建项目也需要国债资金继续予以支持。要

认真做好财税工作。依法加强税收征管，全面清理和规范税收优惠政策，严格控制减免税，确保财政收入稳定

增长。要严格控制一般性支出增长，保证重点支出需要。全面厉行节约，反对铺张浪费。

继续实行稳健的货币政策。合理调控货币信贷总量，既要支持经济发展，又要防止通货膨胀和防范金融风险。

改善金融调控方式，灵活运用多种货币政策工具。引导金融企业优化信贷结构，改进金融服务，支持有市场、有效益的企业流动资金贷款需要，增加

对中小企业和农村的贷款，合理控制中长期贷款。加强对金融企业的监管。积极稳妥地处置各类金融隐患，严

厉打击金融领域违法犯罪活动，确保金融安全高效稳健运行。

控制固定资产投资规模。继续把好土地审批和信贷投放两个闸门。坚持实行最严格的土地管理制度，完善政策，从严执法。加强城市规划和土地管理，继续开展土地市场治理整顿，严格控制农用地转为建设用地，合理控

制城市建设规模。加快完善重点行业的产业政策、专项规 划和市场准入标准。着力优化投资结构，引导社会资

金投向发展的薄弱环节。继续搞好经济运行调节，进一步缓解煤电油运紧张状况。

积极扩大消费需求。实行有利于扩大消费的财税、金融和产业政策。稳步发展消费信贷等新型消费方式。努力改善消费环境，尤其是加快改善农村公共基础设施，进一步搞活农村流通，开拓农村市场。培育新的消费热点，扩大服务性消费；引导消费预期，增强消费信心，增加即期消费。

保持价格总水平基本稳定。努力保持粮食等主要农产品价格在合理水平上基本稳定，重点抑制生产资料价格和

房地产价格过快上涨，把握好公共产品和服务价格调整的时机和力度。加强市场和价格监管，坚决制止哄抬物

价行为。

(二)进一步加强“三农”工作。解决好农业、农村、农民问题，仍然是全部工作的重中之重。适应我国经济发

展新阶段的要求，实行工业反哺农业、城市支持农村的方针，合理调整国民收入分配格局，更多地支持农业和

农村发展。要围绕提高农业综合生产能力，实现粮食稳定增产、农民持续增收，从多方面加大支持力度。

一是稳定、完善和强化对农业的扶持政策。加快减免农业税步伐。在全国大范围、大幅度减免农业税。592个国

家扶贫开发工作重点县免征农业税。全部免征牧业税。因减免农(牧)业税而减少的财政收入，主要由中央财政

安排专项转移支付予以补助。今年中央财政为此新增支出140亿元，用于这方面的支出总额将达到664亿元。明

年将在全国全部免征农业税

原定5年取消农业税的目标，3年就可以实现。继续对种粮农民实行直接补贴，增加良种补贴和农机具购置补贴，对重点粮食品种继续实行最低收购价政策。采取综合措施，控制农业生产资料价格过快上涨。中央财政还将

安排150亿元，增加对产粮大县和财政困难县的转移支付。这项政策对于这些地区的基层建设和农村各项事业发

展具有重要作用。

二是继续推进农业和农村经济结构调整。进一步发展粮食生产，稳定增加粮食播种面积，加强粮 食生产 基地建

设，严格保护耕地特别是基本农田。推进农业区域化布局、专业化生产和产业化经营，大力发展特色农业。加

快发展农产品加工业。积极发展林业、畜牧业和水产业。发展乡镇企业，壮大县域经济。

低产田改造、“六小工程”、旱作节水农业及县乡公路建设等。农业综合开发资金进一步向粮食主产区倾斜。

引导和鼓励农民对直接受益的小型基础设施建设投工投劳。

四是加快农业科技创新和技术推广。大幅度增加农业科技投入，加强农业科技创新能力建设，进一步完善农业

技术推广体系。增加重大农业技术推广专项补贴。支持和鼓励科技人员到农村开展技术咨询和服务。

促进企业技

术改造和重组。要立足于现有企业基础，重视盘活用好存量资产，防止盲目铺新摊子。要从财税、金融和土地

利用等方面，加大对重点企业技术改造的支持。注重企业技术改造与企业改革结合。支持和引导社会资金用于

现有企业重组和技术改造。

注重能源资源节约和合理利用。缓解我国能源资源与经济社会发展的矛盾，必须立足国内，显著提高能源资源

利用效率。一要坚决实行开发和节约并举、把节约放在首位的方针。鼓励开发和应用节能降耗的新技术，对高

能耗、高物耗设备和产品实行强制淘汰制度。二要抓紧制定专项规划，明确各行业节能降耗的标准、目标和政

策措施。抓好重点行业的节能节水节材工作。鼓励发展节能环保型汽车、节能省地型住宅和公共建筑。三要大

力发展循环经济。从资源开采、生产消耗、废弃物利用和社会消费等环节，加快推进资源综合利用和循环利用

。积极开发新能源和可再生能源。四要加强矿产资源开发管理。整顿和规范矿产资源开发秩序。完善资源开发

利用补偿机制和生态环境恢复补偿机制。五要大力倡导节约能源资源的生产方式和消费方式，在全社会形成节

约意识和风气，加快建设节约型社会。

加强环境保护和生态建设。要抓紧解决严重影响人民群众健康安全的环境污染问题。以水污染防治为重点，加

强工业和城市污染治理，加强农村面源污染治理，加强饮用水源地保护。实行严格的排污总量控制制度，加大

环保监督和执法力度。大力推行清洁生产，发展环保产业。继续搞好天然林保护

和草原建设，加强风沙源和水土流失治理。我们的奋斗目标是，让人民群众喝上干净的水、呼吸清新的空气，有更好的工作和生活环境。

(四)积极推动区域协调发展。实施西部大开发，振兴东北地区等老工业基地，促进中部地区崛起，鼓励东部地

区加快发展，是从全面建设小康社会和加快现代化建设全局出发作出的整体战略部署。实行符合各地特点、发

挥比较优势、各有侧重又紧密联系的区域发展战略，体现了统筹协调发展的要求，既有利于 充分调动各地区的积极性，又有利于东中西互动、优势互补、相互促进、共同发展。

认真总结实施西部大开发战略五年来的经验。国家要从政策措施、资金投入、产业布局、人才开发等方面，进

一步加大对西部地区的支持。继续加强基础设施建设和生态环境建设。做好退耕还林、退牧还草工作。大力开

发优势资源，发展特色产业，提高加工增值能力。加快推进重点区域、重点地带开发。积极扩大对内对外开放，加强与周边国家和地区的经济技术合作。抓紧建立西部开发长期稳定的专项资金渠道。

抓紧研究制定促进中部地区崛起的规划和措施。充分发挥中部地区的区位优势和综合经济优势，加强现代农业

特别是粮食主产区建设；加强综合交通运输体系和能源、重要原材料基地建设；加快发展有竞争力的制造业和

高新技术产业；开拓中部地区大市场，发展大流通。国家要从政策、资金、重大建设布局等方面给予支持。

东部地区加快发展，有利于增强国家实力和竞争力，也有利于支持和带动其他地区发展。东部地区要在优化经

经济；更加注重促进城乡、经济社会协调发展，切实加强耕地保护、资源节约和生态环境建设。积极支持和帮

助中西部地区发展。

采取更加有力的措施，支持革命老区、少数民族地区、边疆地区和贫困地区加快经济社会发展。

四、大力推进经济体制改革和对外开放

今年，我们要用更大力量推进经济体制改革，在一些 重点领域和关键环节取得新突破。

(一)继续推进农村改革。农村税费改革是农村经济社会领域的一场深刻变革。全部免征农业税，取消农民各种

不合理负担，彻底改变两千多年来农民种田缴纳“皇粮国税”的历史，实现这一目标只是农村税费改革迈出的第一步，巩固改革成果还要付出更大的努力，走更长的路。必须抓紧研究解决税费改革中的新矛盾新问题，把

工作的重点放在搞好乡镇机构、农村义务教育体制和县乡财政管理体制等各项改革上。这是更为重要、也更为

复杂艰巨的任务。同时，要深化粮食流通体制改革、农村金融改革、农村土地管理制度改革。(二)深化国有企业改革。国有企业改革仍然是经济体制改革的中心环节，必须坚定不移地按照中央确定的方针

政策继续推进。一要坚持国有经济布局和结构的战略性调整，完善国有资本有进有退、合理流动的机制。积极

发展具有自主知识产权、知名品牌和国际竞争力的大公司大企业集团。二要加快国有大型企业股份制改革。按

照建立现代企业制度的要求，健全公司法人治理结构，转换企业经营机制。推行企业年度经营业绩和任期业绩

责任制。规范国有企业经营者薪酬制度。三要加快解决企业办社会问题，继续做好国有企业政策性关闭破产工

作，建立依法破产机制。四要深化电力、电信、民航等行业改革，推进邮政、铁路行业和城市公用事业改革，放宽市场准入，引入竞争机制。要完善国有资产管理体制和监管方式，建立国有资本经营预算制度，规范国有

企业改制和国有产

权转让，防止国有资产流失，维护职工合法权益。要深化集体企业改革，推动多种形式的集体经济发展。

(三)鼓励、支持和引导非公有制经济发展。认真贯彻落实国务院《关于鼓励支持和引导个体私营等非公有制经

济发展的若干意见》，为非公有制企业创造平等竞争的法治环境、政策环境和市场环境；进一步放宽非公有资

本进入的行业和领域，拓宽非公有制企业融资渠道，依法保护私有财产权和非公有制企业权益。改进政府对非

公有制企业的 服务和监管。非公有制企业要提高自身素质，遵守国家法律法规政策和安全、环保等规定，保障

Fellow Deputies, On behalf of the State Council, I now submit a report on the work of the

government for your examination and approval and also for comments and suggestions from the members of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.Review of the Work in 2004

Under the leadership of the Communist Party of China(CPC), the people of all our ethnic groups

held high the great banners of Deng Xiaoping Theory and the important thought of Three

Represents, worked together in an innovative spirit, and made major achievements worth

celebrating in the socialist modernization drive in 2004.We made progress while responding to new challenges and tests during the past year.Some new

problems have emerged in China's economic activities over the last two years, mainly tight grain

supply, overheated investment in fixed assets, excessive money and credit, and shortages of coal，electricity, petroleum and transportation.If allowed to grow unchecked, these isolated problems

could have had an overall impact.After sizing up the situation, the CPC Central Committee and

the State Council promptly made decisions and arrangements for strengthening macro-regulation.Acting on the principles of adopting resolute and effective measures, taking timely and

appropriate steps, dealing with problems individually and stressing practical results, they

worked to solve prominent problems threatening steady and rapid economic development through a

combination of economic and legal means, plus administrative means when necessary.Thanks to the

concerted efforts of the whole nation, their macro-regulation achieved significant results.Destabilizing, unsound factors threatening economic performance were contained, weak links were

strengthened, and large economic fluctuations were avoided.The main achievements over the past year were: the economy maintained steady and rapid

development, overall national strength increased, significant progress was made in our reform，breakthroughs were achieved in opening up, social development was accelerated, and people's lives

improved.China's GDP in 2004 reached 13.65 trillion yuan, an increase of 9.5 percent over the

previous year.Government revenue came to 2.63 trillion yuan, up 21.4 percent.Retail sales of

consumer goods totaled 5.4 trillion yuan, up 13.3 percent.The volume of imports and exports

totaled 1.15 trillion US dollars, an increase of 35.7 percent, moving China up to third place in

the world from fourth in the previous year.Some 9.8 million urban residents entered the

workforce for the first time, a figure that exceeded the target.Urban per capita disposable

income was 9,422 yuan, an increase of 7.7 percent in real terms after allowing for price factors，and rural per capita net income was 2,936 yuan, up 6.8 percent in real terms after allowing for

price factors.All of the above shows that China has taken another solid step forward on the road

of building a moderately prosperous society in all respects.The work we accomplished during the past year mainly consisted of the following.1.Adopting more direct and effective policies and measures to stimulate increases in grain

production and rural incomes.Our macro-regulatory initiative started with efforts to strengthen

agriculture.The major measures we took were reducing or exempting the agricultural tax，rescinding all taxes on special agricultural products except tobacco, directly subsidizing grain

producers, providing subsidies to farmers in certain areas to purchase improved crop strains and

agricultural machinery and tools, and setting a floor price for the purchase of major cereal

varieties.Investment was substantially increased in agriculture and rural areas, particularly in

major grain-producing areas.Altogether, the central government spent 262.6 billion yuan on

agriculture, rural areas and farmers, an increase of 22.5 percent.We also promoted agricultural

restructuring to increase rural incomes through multiple channels.The intensity of these

policies and measures and the substantial benefits to the farmers have rarely been seen in recent

years.This greatly aroused the enthusiasm of farmers, resulting in a rebound in grain

production.Grain output for 2004 totaled 469.47 million tons, 38.77 million tons more than the

previous year.The increases in grain production and farmers' incomes played a crucial role in

maintaining overall economic stability.2.Bringing excessive investment in fixed assets under

control and strengthening weak links.We curbed expansion of investment demand and the haphazard

investment and low-level, redundant construction in some industries mainly by maintaining strict

control over the twin valves of approval for land use and availability of credit.We thoroughly

rectified and standardized order in the land market and straightened out all types of development

zones.We froze the transfer of land from agricultural to nonagricultural purposes for six

months, formulated the Decision on Deepening Reforms for Tightening Land Management, and improved

the system for managing land and resources.We increased the reserve requirements for commercial

banks, raised the basic interest rates on deposits and loans for financial institutions and the

ceiling for interest rates on loans, and strengthened the management of commercial banks in terms

of capital requirements.We increased the required proportion of up-front capital for

construction projects in the steel, cement, electrolytic aluminum and real estate industries.We

straightened out projects under and awaiting construction in accordance with the law.Fixed asset

investment across the country increased by 25.8 percent for the whole year, 17.2 percentage

points less than the first quarter.The growth of money and credit slowed significantly.Efforts were focused on restructuring, and investment was increased in agriculture, water

conservancy, energy, transportation, environmental protection and social undertakings.A

4,000-kilometer-long pipeline to divert natural gas from the west to the east was completed in

its entirety and put into operation.Further progress was made on major projects such as the

Three Gorges Dam Project, the West-to-East Electricity Transmission Project, the Qinghai-Tibet

Railway, and the South-to-North Water Diversion Project.Coal production capacity was expanded by

million tons, installed power-generating capacity was increased by 50.55 million kilowatts，and an additional 1,433 kilometers of railways and 46,000 kilometers of highways were opened to

traffic in 2004.We continued to promote the development of the western region by starting construction on ten key

projects involving investment of 80 billion yuan.The work of revitalizing Northeast China and

other old industrial bases got off to a good start.With state support, 197 improvement or

upgrading projects were undertaken.Work was begun to bring 15 sinkholes in coalmining areas

under control.Improved regulation of economic activities alleviated shortages of coal, electricity, petroleum

and transportation.Effective measures were adopted to increase supply, curb irrational demand

and balance supply and demand, thus ensuring that the needs of economic and social development

and people's well-being were met.3.Taking advantage of opportunities to move forward with economic restructuring and open wider

to the outside world.We deepened reform of the grain distribution system and lifted all controls

on the grain market.The reform of rural taxes and administrative charges entered a new stage of

gradually phasing out the agricultural tax.Further progress was made in the reform of

state-owned enterprises.A basic framework for the oversight and management system for state

assets was established.The reform to turn state-owned commercial banks into stock companies

progressed smoothly.The reform of rural credit cooperatives was extended to 29 provinces，autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the central government.A plan for reforming

the investment system was formulated and implemented.We comprehensively implemented measures to

reform the export tax rebate mechanism, and we cleared up all old outstanding accounts and did

not allow any new ones to emerge.The VAT reform was begun in the old industrial base of

Northeast China on a trial basis.We intensified efforts to rectify and standardize the market

order, strengthened the supervision of food and drug safety and the protection of intellectual

property rights, and resolutely cracked down on the manufacture and sale of counterfeit and

substandard goods, tax evasion and fraud, smuggling and other illegal and criminal activities.To fulfill the commitments we made when we joined the World Trade Organization(WTO), we

continued to lower tariffs and opened more areas to foreign competition.We put into effect a

revised Foreign Trade Law, lifted all controls over the right to engage in foreign trade，instituted a “go global” strategy and participated in regional economic cooperation.We smoothly

implemented the Closer Economic Partnership Arrangement between the mainland and Hong Kong and

between the mainland and Macao.China utilized 60.6 billion US dollars in foreign direct

investment in 2004.4.Increasing policy support and government spending to stimulate the development of all social

undertakings.Governments at all levels increased their support for science and technology，education, culture, health and sports.Spending for these items amounted to 98.7 billion yuan

from the central budget and 14.7 billion yuan from the sale of treasury bonds.We strengthened the national innovation system and infrastructure development for basic research

and for science and technology, as well as primary-level scientific and technological work.Continued progress was made on a group of major scientific and technological projects and the

industrialization of new and high technologies.We organized over 2,000 experts to study and

discuss a number of strategic issues bearing on the formulation of a national medium-and

long-term program for scientific and technological development.A new round of measures to implement the Action Plan for Invigorating Education was smoothly

introduced, and we started to implement the plan to make nine-year compulsory education basically

universal and to basically eliminate illiteracy among young and middle-aged adults in the western

region.We increased support for compulsory education in poor rural areas, continued to renovate

dangerous primary and secondary school buildings in rural areas, and provided free textbooks for

more than 24 million students from poor rural families receiving compulsory education in the

central and western regions.The development of vocational education was accelerated.Work in

higher education was centered on improving quality.The financial aid system for college students

from poor families was improved.We accelerated the development of public health undertakings, focusing on building a national

disease prevention and control system and a medical response system for public health

emergencies.Construction on 1,410 county-level and 250 provincial-and city-(prefectural-)

level disease prevention and control centers was basically completed, and construction on 290

emergency medical centers is underway.We intensified our work to prevent and control serious

diseases.We put a lot of effort into building health facilities in rural areas.Pilot projects

for a new system of rural cooperative medical and health care services progressed steadily.We

adopted resolute measures to promptly halt the spread of highly pathogenic avian flu.We promoted reform of the cultural system and development of cultural undertakings and

strengthened supervision over the cultural market.Funds were appropriated in the central budget

to support the construction of 533 county-level libraries and community centers, and radio and TV

facilities in 40,000 villages.The development of major state cultural projects and the

protection of natural, historical and cultural heritage sites were intensified.We had more

cultural exchanges with foreign countries.Recreational sports activities flourished.The

performances of Chinese athletes were outstanding at the 28th Olympics and the 12th Special

Olympics.We intensified our work relating to land and resources, environmental protection and ecological

conservation.We strengthened protection of our arable land.Further progress was made in

preventing and controlling pollution in key river valleys and regions.Positive results were

obtained from trials of new ways of carrying out family planning work in rural areas.5.Working hard to improve people's lives and paying particular attention to solving prominent

problems relating to their vital interests.We further implemented all policies and measures to

stimulate employment and reemployment.We continued successful efforts to provide the “two

guarantees”(guarantee of a basic living allowance for workers laid off from state-owned

enterprises and guarantee that the pensions of retirees are paid on time and in full, tr.)and

ensure needy urban residents receive subsistence allowances.The national standards for basic

retirement benefits for workers retired from enterprises were raised on July 1, 2004.Many local

governments also promptly raised the level of their subsistence allowances.We continued work on

the pilot projects to improve the urban social security system.A total of 146.5 billion yuan was

spent from the central budget for social security last year, an increase of 18.1 percent over the

previous year.Poverty alleviation work was intensified, with 12.2 billion yuan appropriated from the central

budget for this work, thereby reducing the number of poverty-stricken rural people by 2.9 million

year-on-year.Some areas of the country suffered serious natural disasters last year.Governments

at all levels promptly provided disaster relief and carried out reconstruction work, assisting 68

million victims.We solved problems in the expropriation of rural land, the demolition of urban housing and the

transformation of enterprises that infringe on people's interests in accordance with the law.Overdue payments owed to farmers as compensation for expropriated land were basically cleared up.We thoroughly solved the problem of defaults on construction costs in the construction industry

and unpaid wages for migrant workers.A total of 33.2 billion yuan of wages that had been owed

for a number of years has now been paid.Safeguarding the people's lawful rights and interests

was given greater importance in the government's work.6.Strengthening democracy and the legal system and doing everything possible to safeguard social

stability.Democracy at lower levels of government was vigorously expanded, the system for making

village affairs more transparent and the system of self-governance for villagers were

strengthened, and the system of self-governance of communities and management at the primary

level in urban areas was further improved.The government attached great importance to

legislation.The State Council formulated the Program for Comprehensively Implementing Government

Administration in accordance with the Law, which clearly set forth the objectives and tasks for

establishing a law-based government.It also produced revised drafts of the Company Law and the

Law on the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases, a draft Civil Service Law and four

other bills and enacted 32 administrative regulations.Governments at all levels conscientiously

implemented the Administrative Permission Law and eliminated or streamlined a large number of

items requiring administrative approval.Oversight of law enforcement was strengthened, and

auditing and supervision authorities did a great deal of outstanding work.We organized the

formulation of a national master plan for responding to public emergencies, as well as 105

special and departmental plans for responding to emergencies such as natural disasters，catastrophic accidents, public health emergencies and other threats to public security.All

provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the central government also

formulated their own emergency response plans.Breakthroughs were made in building a law-based

government and fully performing government functions.We intensified efforts to build a clean government and combat corruption, focusing on solving

outstanding problems that threatened people's interests.We strengthened all facets of public

security and improved the system for crime prevention and control.We severely cracked down on

criminal activities in accordance with law and slowed down the rise in serious crime.We

strengthened and improved the work of handling letters and visits from the people and strove to

resolve all kinds of conflicts.We intensified work relating to ethnic, religious and overseas Chinese affairs.Further progress

was made in modernizing national defense and the army.Our diplomatic work entered a new phase，and China's international standing rose higher.The outstanding accomplishments in all areas last year are the result of the Central Committee

with Comrade Hu Jintao as General Secretary staying on top of the overall situation and providing

correct leadership.They are also the result of the people of all ethnic groups working together

as one and tenaciously striving to succeed.All localities and departments did a great deal of

arduous and painstaking work, and all sectors of society and people from all walks of life made

important contributions.On behalf of the State Council, I would like to express our sincere

gratitude to all our workers, farmers, intellectuals and cadres;to all those who work for the

cause of socialism;and to the members of the People's Liberation Army, the armed police and the

public security police.I would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to the people of all our

ethnic groups, to all the democratic parties and mass organizations and to people from all walks

of life for their trust in and support for the work of the government.I would also like to

express our sincere thanks to all our compatriots in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region，the Macao Special Administrative Region and Taiwan as well as overseas Chinese who care about and

support the development and reunification of our motherland, and to all our friends in other

countries who care about and support China's modernization drive.We not only made great progress in all our undertakings during the past year, but also enhanced

our understanding through a wealth of practical experience.Governments at all levels took more

initiative in implementing the central authorities' decisions and plans and became better able

and more aware of the need to take advantage of this period of important strategic opportunities

to promote development.The main things we have learned from our experience are as follows.--We must establish and implement a scientific outlook on development.This outlook is a new

development that the CPC has incorporated into its guiding ideology for the socialist

modernization drive.It emphasizes that development is an absolute necessity, that we should

focus on economic development and improve the quality and efficiency of economic growth, and that

we should put people first and stress the “five balances”(balancing urban and rural development，development among regions, economic and social development, development of man and nature, and

domestic development and opening wider to the outside world, tr.), in order to achieve all-round，balanced and sustainable development of the economy and society.We must be guided by a

scientific outlook on development in solving current outstanding problems in economic activities

and in building a moderately prosperous society in all respects, and adhere to this outlook

during the entire course of reform, opening up and modernization.--We must strengthen and improve macro-regulation.Macro-regulation has been an important way of

implementing a scientific outlook on development over the past two years.Both macro-regulation

and market forces are integral components of the socialist market economy.We need to make better

use of the basic role of market forces in allocating resources and carry out macro-regulation

well.It is important to adapt the direction, focus, timing and intensity of regulation to

economic changes and to improve the methods of exercising it, which is mainly through economic

and legal means supplemented by administrative means when necessary, in order to promote economic

stability and sustained and rapid economic development.38

--We must continue on the path of reform and opening up.China's economic restructuring is still

at a stage where critical problems need to be addressed.We will unswervingly deepen reform and

eliminate structural factors that impede economic development and cause economic instability to

provide an institutional guarantee for all-round, balanced and sustainable economic and social

development.We need to coordinate political restructuring and other reforms with the ongoing

economic restructuring.We need to continue to promote reform and development through opening up

and open up even wider to the outside world in all areas to make China's economic system more

open and vigorous.--We must balance overall and local interests.Our national economy is an organic whole, so we

should allow different regions to fully exploit their own advantages and mobilize the initiatives

of both central and local governments in line with the strategic concept of “coordinating all the

activities of the nation like moves in a chess game.” In formulating any principles and policies，we must consider not only the overall interests of the country and its long-term development but

also the characteristics of each region and industry.Local governments should give full

expression to their own initiative while subordinating their needs to those of the country as a

whole and the requirements for long-term development.--We must act in accordance with objective laws.In our modernization drive we must always

proceed from actual conditions in the country and conscientiously abide by objective laws.We

should work energetically and seize opportunities to speed up development, but we must not ignore

reality, recklessly expand the scale of development and only pursue rapid economic growth.If we

do not keep this in mind, we could end up “just spinning our wheels and going nowhere” or even

suffering serious losses.Whether we are doing economic work or other work, we must strive for

real results by combining our subjective initiative with adherence to objective laws.39

--We must always put the interests of the people first.We must truly protect the people's

economic, political and cultural rights and interests, pay particular attention to solving acute

problems affecting their vital interests, and ensure that poor urban and rural residents have the

basic necessities of life.The fundamental goal of our socialist modernization drive is to

continually meet the growing material and cultural needs of the people.Only if we exercise power

for the good of the people can we enjoy the broadest and most reliable support from the people

and draw from them the strength for accomplishing all our undertakings.In reviewing our work of the past year, we clearly see that many problems and difficulties remain

in our economic and social development.First, although the outstanding problems in economic

activities have been somewhat alleviated, they have yet to be fundamentally solved.Weaknesses in

agriculture as the foundation of the economy still have not improved substantially, and it has

become harder to continue increasing grain production and rural incomes.In addition, there is

the possibility of a return to overheating in fixed asset investment, supplies of coal，electricity, petroleum and transportation are still very tight, and there is still considerable

inflationary pressure on prices.Second, there are glaring problems in social development.We

still need to solve quite a few problems in education, health and culture in some areas，especially rural areas.The development gaps between urban and rural areas and between different

regions and the income gap between some members of society are all too wide.Some low-income

people lead difficult lives and there are more than a few factors threatening social stability.Third, there are still some longstanding and deep-seated problems in economic and social

development.The main ones are as follows.There is considerable pressure on employment.The

economic structure is irrational, the level of industrial technology is low, and tertiary

industry is developing too slowly.The investment rate continues to be too high, and consumption

remains weak.Economic growth is still too crude, and pressure on resources and the environment

is increasing.In particular, there are still prominent structural and mechanistic problems that

hinder sound economic and social development.We are also keenly aware that there are still quite a few shortcomings in the government's work.Self-reform and transformation of government functions are behind schedule, there are still too

many items requiring administrative approval, and social management and public services are

inadequate.The responsibilities of some departments are not clearly defined, making effective

coordination difficult;some management practices are backward;and productivity is low.Some

problems affecting the vital interests of the people have still not been fundamentally solved.Some government employees are not conscientious enough about performing their duties in

accordance with the law.The problems of formalism, bureaucracy, dishonesty, extravagance and

waste are relatively severe.Corruption is serious in some localities, departments and

organizations.We must face the above-mentioned problems squarely and continue to adopt measures to solve them.We have to be mindful of potential perils, elevate our sense of responsibility, guard against

arrogance and rashness, and work hard to make our country strong and prosperous.We must progress

in the face of difficulties and unswervingly do all our work well to ensure that we do not fail

to live up to the great trust and expectations of the people.II.The Master Work Plan for 2005

This year is crucial for accomplishing all the tasks of the Tenth Five-Year Plan(2001-2005)and

for laying a solid foundation for development during the Eleventh Five-Year Plan(2006-2010).The

basic ideas for the work of the government this year are: to take Deng Xiaoping Theory and the

important thought of Three Represents as our guide;to conscientiously put into practice the

guidelines of the Sixteenth National Congress of the Party and the Third and Fourth Plenary

Sessions of its Sixteenth Central Committee;to continue to guide overall economic and social

development by a scientific outlook on development;to strengthen and improve macro-regulation;

to make reform and opening up the driving force for all our work;to build a harmonious socialist

society;and to promote the simultaneous progress of socialist material, political and spiritual

civilization.Taking all domestic and international factors into account, we have set our main targets for this

year's economic and social development as follows: GDP growth around 8 percent, 9 million new

jobs for urban residents, registered urban unemployment rate within 4.6 percent, rise in the

consumer price index of no more than 4 percent, and basic balance in international payments.Maintaining steady and rapid economic development is an important issue that the government must

successfully handle.This is a period of important strategic opportunities for China, and the

economy should grow rapidly, but not be allowed to overheat.Both drastic upturns and downturns

in economic growth are bad for economic development, reform and opening up, and social stability.In setting the target for this year's economic growth at around 8 percent, the Central Committee

took into consideration both what is necessary and what is feasible, as well as what will be

needed to meet employment, price and other targets to ensure that the growth target accords with

actual conditions.Under the conditions of the socialist market economy, targets are only

guidelines for economic and social development and can be adjusted in line with economic changes.All localities should set their targets for economic and social development in line with local

conditions and focus on improving the quality and efficiency of economic growth.They should not

blindly compete with each other for the fastest pace of economic growth.To ensure completion of all the tasks for economic and social development for 2005, we will pay

particular attention to the following three aspects in our guidance and planning work.First, we

will concentrate on doing our macro-regulatory work well.We will continue to eliminate

destabilizing and unsound factors in our economic activities, promote economic restructuring and

transformation of the pattern of economic growth, maintain steady and rapid economic growth, and

keep overall price levels basically stable.Second, we will press ahead with reform and opening

up.We will make reform the driving force behind all aspects of our work, integrate efforts to

deepen reform with efforts to implement a scientific outlook on development and to tighten and

improve macro-regulation, and use reform to solve institutional problems in our development.We

will open to the outside world more fully and make better use of both domestic and international

markets and resources.Third, we will build a harmonious society.To build a socialist society

that is democratic and law-based, fair and just, trustworthy and friendly, full of vigor and

vitality, secure and orderly, and in which man and nature are in harmony, we need to unite all

forces that can be united, bring all positive factors into full play and stimulate the creativity

of the entire society.We need to properly balance the interests of all quarters and ensure that

everyone shares the fruits of reform and development.We also need to balance reform, development

and stability and strive to create favorable conditions and a good climate for sustained economic

and social development.III.Continuing to Ensure Steady and Rapid Economic Development

We need to focus on accomplishing the following four tasks for this year's economic development.1.Continuing to strengthen and improve macro-regulation.In the present state of economic

activities, we cannot slacken our macro-regulation.We need to follow prudent fiscal and monetary

policies and better coordinate our macroeconomic policies this year.We must adhere more closely

to the principle of dealing with different sectors individually and expanding some of them while

contracting others, and emphasize the role of market forces and economic and legal methods in

consolidating and building on our achievements in macro-regulation.Following a prudent fiscal policy.The central government has followed a proactive fiscal policy

since 1998 to counteract the impact of the Asian financial crisis and boost weak domestic demand.Time has proven that this policy is correct and that it has produced remarkable results.However，the scale of investment in China is now quite large and the amount of funds in the hands of the

general public has increased substantially, making it necessary and possible for us to shift from

an expansive proactive fiscal policy to an appropriately tight fiscal policy.We will

appropriately cut the budget deficit and the quantity of long-term treasury bonds for development

this year.The deficit in the central budget for 2005 will be 300 billion yuan, 19.8 billion yuan

less than was budgeted in 2004.The central government plans to issue 80 billion yuan worth of

long-term treasury bonds, 30 billion yuan less than last year, while allocations from the 2005

central budget for investment in regular development project s will be increased by 10 billion

yuan.The long-term treasury bonds issued this year will be used mainly to increase investment in

weak links such as agriculture, rural areas and farmers;social development;and ecological

conservation and environmental protection.The funds will also be used to develop the western

region and rejuvenate Northeast China and other old industrial bases;to support accelerated

development in old revolutionary base areas, ethnic minority areas, border areas, and

poverty-stricken areas;and to continue support for some on-going bond-financed projects.We need

to do our fiscal and tax work conscientiously.Tax collection and management need to be tightened

in accordance with the law by screening and standardizing all preferential tax policies and

strictly controlling tax reductions and exemptions to ensure that government revenue rises

steadily.Increases in general spending must be strictly held in check to ensure funding for key

projects.We need to practice frugality and eliminate waste in all our work.Continuing to follow a prudent monetary policy.We will appropriately control the supply of money

and credit in order to support economic development while guarding against inflation and

financial risks.We will improve financial regulation by flexibly using a variety of monetary

policy instruments.We will guide financial institutions to optimize their credit structure, to

improve their services, to provide working capital to enterprises that are profitable and have a

ready market for their products, to provide more loans for small and medium-sized enterprises and

for rural areas, and to maintain the amount of medium-and long-term loans at an appropriate

level.To ensure safe, efficient and stable financial operations, we must enhance supervision of

financial enterprises, vigorously yet prudently deal with all types of financial hazards and

crack down on illegal and criminal financial activities.Reining in the scale of fixed asset

investment.We will continue to closely monitor the two valves of approval for land use and

availability of credit.We will maintain the strictest land management system by improving

policies and intensifying law enforcement.We will improve city planning and land management，further rectify the land market, strictly limit transformation of farmland for use in development

projects and appropriately control the scale of urban development.We will accelerate our work of

improving the policies and plans for key industries and the criteria for their market access.We

will work hard to improve the distribution of investment and guide non-government investment into

areas that are developing poorly.We will continue to regulate economic activities to further

alleviate tight supplies of coal, electricity, petroleum and transportation.Vigorously expanding consumer demand.We will implement fiscal, tax, financial and industrial

policies that encourage consumption.Consumption on credit and other new forms of consumption

will be developed steadily.We will improve the consumption environment, paying particular

attention to strengthening the rural infrastructure, expanding rural markets and stimulating the

distribution of agricultural products.New areas of consumption will be fostered by such means as

expanding the consumption of services.We will guide consumer expectations and enhance consumer

confidence to increase immediate consumption.Keeping the overall price level basically stable.We will work hard to keep the prices of grain

and other primary farm products basically stable at a reasonable level, focusing on curbing the

excessively rapid rise in the prices of the real estate and means of production and appropriately

handling the timing and magnitude of price adjustments for public goods and services.Supervision

of markets and prices will be improved to resolutely put an end to price gouging.2.Improving our work relating to agriculture, rural areas and farmers.Solving the problems

facing agriculture, rural areas and farmers remains a top priority of all our work.To adapt to

the needs of the new stage of our economic development, we will implement the principle of

industry nurturing agriculture and cities supporting the countryside and rationally redirect the

distribution of national revenue toward the development of agriculture and rural areas.We will

expand support for this development in a number of ways, with the focus on expanding overall

agricultural production capacity, steadily improving grain production and constantly increasing

rural incomes.First, we will maintain, improve and strengthen policies to support agriculture.The process of

reducing or exempting the agricultural tax will be accelerated.This tax will be substantially

reduced or exempted on a broad scale throughout the country, and it will be exempted in 592 key

counties included in the national plan for poverty alleviation through development.The livestock

tax will be exempted throughout the country.Revenue decreases in local budgets brought about by

reduced or exempted taxes on agriculture and livestock will be offset principally by transfer

payments from the central government.Additional expenditures of 14 billion yuan from the central

budget will be needed for this purpose this year, raising the total expenditures to 66.4 billion

yuan.The agricultural tax will be exempted throughout the country next year, which means that

what had been targeted for five years will be achieved in three.We will continue to directly

subsidize grain producers, increase subsidies to farmers to purchase improved crop strains and

agricultural machinery and tools, and continue to follow a policy of minimum purchase prices for

key grain varieties.Comprehensive measures will be adopted to halt the steep price increases for

the means of agricultural production.The central government will allocate an additional 15

billion yuan to increase transfer payments to major grain-producing counties and to counties with

financial difficulties.This policy is of great importance for developing primary-level

governments and all undertakings in rural areas in these regions.Second, we will continue to make structural adjustments in agriculture and the rural economy.We

will further develop grain production by stabilizing and increasing the acreage sown to grain，strengthening development of grain production bases and strictly protecting arable land，especially primary farmland.We will improve the geographical distribution of agriculture，promote its specialized production and industrial management, and develop distinctive

agricultural undertakings.Development of farm product processing industries will be accelerated.We will energetically develop forestry, animal husbandry and aquaculture.Township and village

enterprises and intra-county economies will be expanded.Third, we will intensify development of irrigation and water conservancy projects and the rural

infrastructure.Funding from state investment in capital construction and the sale of treasury

bonds will be focused on developing irrigation and water conservancy projects, improving the

eco-system, upgrading low-and medium-yield farmland, developing six categories of small rural

projects [water-efficient irrigation, potable water supplies, road building, methane production

facilities, hydroelectric plants, and pasture enclosure, tr.], expanding dry and water-efficient

farming, and constructing roads linking townships to county seats.Greater priority will be given

to major grain-producing areas in distributing funds for overall agricultural development.We

will encourage and guide farmers to volunteer to work on small infrastructure projects that will

benefit them directly.Fourth, we will accelerate innovation in agricultural science and technology and spread of the

use of agricultural technology.We will greatly increase investment in agricultural science and

technology, raise innovativeness in them, and further improve the system for expanding the use of

agricultural technology.Subsidies will be increased for expanding the use of important

agricultural technologies.We will encourage and support scientists and technicians to go to the

countryside to provide technical consultation and services.Fifth, we will transfer surplus rural labor to nonagricultural jobs in a variety of ways.Rural

secondary and tertiary industries will be developed to steadily promote urbanization and expand

employment opportunities for rural workers.We will improve the environment for rural workers

looking for jobs or starting their own businesses in cities, provide more vocational training for

them, and formulate more policies concerning them.We will guide the movement of rural labor to

ensure that it flows in a rational and orderly way.3.Accelerating economic restructuring and change in the pattern of economic growth.Optimizing and upgrading the industrial structure.We will stay on the new road of

industrialization.We will spur industrial restructuring by relying on scientific and

technological advances and focusing on becoming better able to make independent innovations.We

will accelerate development of new and high technologies that can greatly stimulate economic

growth as well as broadly applicable, key and accessory technologies that can propel the

upgrading of traditional industries.We will promptly formulate innovation targets and measures

for achieving them in key technologies in a number of important fields and make breakthroughs as

quickly as possible.We will improve the systems and policies that encourage innovation.We will

continue to introduce advanced technologies, assimilate them, and make innovations in them, while

concentrating on enhancing our own development capacity.We will energetically develop new and

high technology industries and integrate information technology into the national economy and

society.We will accelerate the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries through

new and high technologies and advanced applied technologies.We will revitalize the

equipment-manufacturing industry, focusing on major projects.Guided by plans for specific

projects, we will continue strengthening basic industries like the energy industry and important

raw materials industries as well as infrastructure development in water conservancy, transport

and communications.We will vigorously develop tertiary industries such as modern distribution

services, tourism and community services.We need to accelerate the development of capital-and

technology-intensive industries and continue to develop labor-intensive industries.Promoting the reorganization and technological upgrading of enterprises.We will take existing

enterprises as our base, making good use of reserve capacity and preventing indiscriminate

construction of new facilities.We will give more support in the areas of taxation, financing and

land use to key enterprises undergoing technological upgrading.Efforts will be concentrated on

integrating technological upgrading of enterprises with their reform.We will support and

encourage the investment of non-government capital in the reorganization and technological

upgrading of enterprises.49

Paying close attention to conservation and rational use of energy and resources.Efforts to

alleviate the problem of tight supplies of energy and resources needed for economic and social

development must start at home by utilizing energy and resources much more efficiently.First, we

will resolutely adhere to the policy of simultaneously developing and conserving energy and

resources, giving priority to conservation.We will encourage the development and application of

new technologies that use less energy and resources, and institute a system requiring the

elimination of equipment and products that consume excessive quantities of energy and materials.Second, we will promptly draw up standards and targets for reducing energy and resource

consumption in every industry, along with policies and measures for meeting the targets.This

work will be focused on saving energy, water and materials in key industries.We will encourage

development of energy-efficient, environment-friendly automobiles, and housing and public

buildings that use less energy and land.Third, we will energetically develop the recycling

sector of the economy.We will increase the comprehensive utilization of resources and the

recycling of resources by addressing problems concerning their exploitation, their use in

production and in society, and the utilization of waste materials.We will also work vigorously

to develop new and renewable energy resources.Fourth, management of the exploitation of mineral

resources will be strengthened.We will rectify and standardize the order in their exploitation.We will improve the compensation mechanisms for the exploitation and utilization of mineral

resources and for restoration of the natural environment.Fifth, we will energetically promote

production and consumption practices that use less energy and resources, increase public

awareness of the importance of conservation, and accelerate the development of a

conservation-minded society.Strengthening environmental protection and ecological improvement.We must promptly solve

五年来的成就，是全党全国各族人民共同奋斗的结果。我代表中共中央，向全国各族人民，向各民主党派、各人民团体和各界爱国人士，向香港特别行政区同胞、澳门特别行政区同胞和台湾同胞以及广大侨胞，向一切关心和支持中国现代化建设的各国朋友，表示衷心的

十七大报告全文英汉对照 attention to these problems and continue our efforts to solve them.To sum up, the past five years was a period in which substantial progress was made in reform, opening up and building a moderately prosperous society in all respects.During this period, China's overall strength grew considerably and the people enjoyed more tangible benefits.China's international standing and influence rose notably.The creativity, cohesion and combat effectiveness of the Party increased significantly, and the whole Party and the people of all ethnic groups became more united.Facts have proved that the major policy decisions made by the Central Committee at and since the Sixteenth Congress are perfectly correct.Our achievements over the past five years are attributed to the concerted efforts of the whole Party and the people of all ethnic groups.On behalf of the Central Committee, I wish to express our heartfelt thanks to the people of all ethnic groups, the democratic parties, people's organizations and patriots from all walks of life, to our compatriots in the special administrative regions of Hong Kong and Macao and in Taiwan as well as overseas Chinese nationals, and to our foreign friends who care about and support China's modernization drive！

II.The Great Historical Course of Reform and Opening Up We will soon be celebrating the 30th anniversary of the start of reform and opening up.In 1978, the Party held the historic Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee, which ushered in the new historical period of reform and opening up.Since then, the Chinese Communists and the Chinese people have, in an indomitable enterprising spirit and with their spectacular practice of innovation, composed a new epic recounting the Chinese nation's ceaseless efforts to make progress and become stronger, and historic changes have taken place in the visages of the Chinese people, socialist China and the CPC.Reform and opening up represent a great new revolution carried on by the people under the Party's leadership in a new era to release and develop the

我们即将迎来改革开放三十周年。一九七八年，我们党召开具有重大历史意义的十一届三中全会，开启了改革开放历史新时期。从那时以来，中国共产党人和中国人民以一往无前的进取精神和波澜壮阔的创新实践，谱写了中华民族自强不息、顽强奋进新的壮丽史诗，中国人民的面貌、社会主义中国的面貌、中国共产党的面貌发生了历史性变化。

我们要永远铭记，改革开放伟大事业，是在以毛泽东同志为核心的党的第一代中央领导集体创立毛泽东思想，带领全党全国各族人民建立新中国、取得社会主义革命和建设伟大成就以及艰辛探索社会主义建设规律取得宝贵经验的基础上进行的。新民主主义革命的胜利，社会主义基本制度的建立，为当代中国一切发展进步奠定了根本政治前提和制度基础。

我们要永远铭记，改革开放伟大事业，是以邓小平同志为核心的党的第二代中央领导集体带领全党全国各族人民开创的。面对十年“文化大革命”造成的危难局面，党的第二代中央领导集体坚持解放思想、实事求是，以巨大的政治勇气和理论勇气，科学评价毛泽东同志和毛泽东思想，彻底否定“以阶级斗争为纲”的错误理论和实践，作出把党和国家工作中心转移到经济建设上来、实行改革开放的历史性决策，确立社会主义初级阶段基本路线，吹响走自己的路、建设中国特色社会主义的时代号角，创立邓小平理论，指引全党全国各族人民在改革开放的伟大征程上阔步前进。

我们要永远铭记，改革开放伟大事业，是以江泽民同志为核心的党的第三代中央领导集体带领全党全国各族人民继承、发展并成功推向二十一世纪的。从十三届四中全会到十六大，受命于重大历史关头的党的第三代中央领导集

十六大以来，我们以邓小平理论和“三个代表”重要思想为指导，顺应国内外形势发展变化，抓住重要战略机遇期，发扬求真务实、开拓进取精神，坚持理论创新和实践创新，着力推动科学发展、促进社会和谐，完善社会主义市场经济体制，在全面建设小康社会实践中坚定不移地把改革开放伟大事业继续推向前进。

新时期最鲜明的特点是改革开放。从农村到城市、从经济领域到其他各个领域，全面改革的进程势不可当地展开了；从沿海到沿江沿边，从东部到中西部，对外开放的大门毅然决然地打开了。这场历史上从未有过的大改革大开放，极大地调动了亿万人民的积极性，使我国成功实现了从高度集中的计划经济体制到充满活力的社会主义市场经济体制、从封闭半封闭到全方位开放的伟大历史转折。今天，一个面向现代化、面向世界、面向未来的社会主义中国巍然屹立在世界东方。

新时期最显著的成就是快速发展。我们党实施现代化建设“三步走”战略，带领人民艰苦奋斗，推动我国以世界上少有的速度持续快速发展起来。我国经济从一度濒于崩溃的边缘发展到总量跃至世界第四、进出口总额位居世界第三，人民生活从温饱不足发展到总体小康，农村贫困人口从两亿五千多万减少到

两千多万，政治建设、文化建设、社会建设取得举世瞩目的成就。中国的发展，不仅使中国人民稳定地走上了富裕安康的广阔道路，而且为世界经济发展和人类文明进步作出了重大贡献。

新时期最突出的标志是与时俱进。我们党坚持马克思主义的思想路线，不断探索和回答什么是社会主义、怎样建设社会主义，建设什么样的党、怎样建设党，实现什么样的发展、怎样发展等重大理论和实际问题，不断推进马克思主义中国化，坚持并丰富党的基本理论、基本路线、基本纲领、基本经验。社会主义和马克思主义在中国大地上焕发出勃勃生机，给人民带来更多福祉，使中华民族大踏步赶上时代前进潮流、迎来伟大复兴的光明前景。

事实雄辩地证明，改革开放是决定当代中国命运的关键抉择，是发展中国特色社会主义、实现中华民族伟大复兴的必由之路；只有社会主义才能救中国，只有改革开放才能发展中国、发展社会主义、发展马克思主义。

改革开放作为一场新的伟大革命，不可能一帆风顺，也不可能一蹴而就。最根本的是，改革开放符合党心民心、顺应时代潮流，方向和道路是完全正确的，成效和功绩不容否定，停顿和倒退没有出路。

在改革开放的历史进程中，我们党把坚持马克思主义基本原理同推进马克思主义中国化结合起来，把坚持四项基本原则同坚持改革开放结合起来，把尊重人民首创精神同加强和改善党的领导结合起来，把坚持社会主义基本制度同发展市场经济结合起来，把推动经济基础变革同推动上层建筑改革结合起来，把发展社会生产力同提高全民族文明素质结合起来，把提高效率同促进社会公平结合起来，把坚持独立自主同参与经济全球化结合起来，把促进改革发展

十七大报告全文英汉对照 vitality on Chinese soil, brought more benefits to the people, and enabled the Chinese nation to catch up with the trend of the times in great strides and see the bright future of national rejuvenation.Facts have incontrovertibly proved that the decision to begin reform and opening up is vital to the destiny of contemporary China, that reform and opening up are the only way of developing socialism with Chinese characteristics and rejuvenating the Chinese nation, that only socialism can save China and that only reform and opening up can develop China, socialism and Marxism.As a great new revolution, reform and opening up are not to be plain sailing or be accomplished overnight.Essentially they accord with the aspirations of the Party membership and the people and keep up with the trend of the times.The orientation and path of reform and opening up are entirely correct, and their merits and achievements can never be negated.To stop or reverse reform and opening up would only lead to a blind alley.In the historical course of reform and opening up, the Party has combined adhering to the basic tenets of Marxism with adapting it to Chinese conditions, upholding the Four Cardinal Principles with adhering to the reform and opening up policy, respecting the people's pioneering initiative with strengthening the Party's leadership, adhering to the basic system of socialism with developing the market economy, effecting changes in the economic base with promoting reform of the superstructure, developing the productive forces with improving the cultural and ethical quality of the whole nation, raising efficiency with promoting social equity, pursuing independent development with taking part in economic globalization, promoting reform and development with maintaining social stability, and advancing the great cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics with making progress in the great new undertaking to build the Party.In this course the Party has gained invaluable experience in eliminating poverty, accelerating modernization, and consolidating and developing socialism in a large developing country of over one billion people.同保持社会稳定结合起来，把推进中国特色社会主义伟大事业同推进党的建设新的伟大工程结合起来，取得了我们这样一个十几亿人口的发展中大国摆脱贫困、加快实现现代化、巩固和发展社会主义的宝贵经验。

改革开放以来我们取得一切成绩和进步的根本原因，归结起来就是：开辟了中国特色社会主义道路，形成了中国特色社会主义理论体系。高举中国特色社会主义伟大旗帜，最根本的就是要坚持这条道路和这个理论体系。

中国特色社会主义道路，就是在中国共产党领导下，立足基本国情，以经济建设为中心，坚持四项基本原则，坚持改革开放，解放和发展社会生产力，巩固和完善社会主义制度，建设社会主义市场经济、社会主义民主政治、社会主义先进文化、社会主义和谐社会，建设富强民主文明和谐的社会主义现代化国家。中国特色社会主义道路之所以完全正确、之所以能够引领中国发展进步，关键在于我们既坚持了科学社会主义的基本原则，又根据我国实际和时代特征赋予其鲜明的中国特色。在当代中国，坚持中国特色社会主义道路，就是真正坚持社会主义。

中国特色社会主义理论体系，就是包括邓小平理论、“三个代表”重要思想以及科学发展观等重大战略思想在内的科学理论体系。这个理论体系，坚持和发展了马克思列宁主义、毛泽东思想，凝结了几代中国共产党人带领人民不懈探索实践的智慧和心血，是马克思主义中国化最新成果，是党最可宝贵的政治和精神财富，是全国各族人民团结奋斗的共同思想基础。中国特色社会主义理论体系是不断发展的开放的理论体系。《共产党宣言》发表以来近一百六十年

十七大报告全文英汉对照 To sum up, the fundamental reason behind all our achievements and progress since the reform and opening up policy was introduced is that we have blazed a path of socialism with Chinese characteristics and established a system of theories of socialism with Chinese characteristics.Essentially, to hold high the great banner of socialism with Chinese characteristics means to keep to this path and uphold this system.Taking the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics means we will, under the leadership of the CPC and in light of China's basic conditions, take economic development as the central task, adhere to the Four Cardinal Principles and persevere in reform and opening up, release and develop the productive forces, consolidate and improve the socialist system, develop the socialist market economy, socialist democracy, an advanced socialist culture and a harmonious socialist society, and make China a prosperous, strong, democratic, culturally advanced and harmonious modern socialist country.The main reason this path is completely correct and can lead China to development and progress is that we have adhered to the basic tenets of scientific socialism and in the meantime added to them distinct Chinese characteristics in light of China's conditions and the features of the times.In contemporary China, to stay true to socialism means to keep to the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics.Theories of socialism with Chinese characteristics constitute a system of scientific theories including Deng Xiaoping Theory, the important thought of Three Represents, and the Scientific Outlook on Development and other major strategic thoughts.This system represents the Party's adherence to and development of Marxism-Leninism and Mao Zedong Thought and embodies the wisdom and hard work of several generations of Chinese Communists leading the people in carrying out tireless explorations and practices.It is the latest achievement in adapting Marxism to Chinese conditions, the Party's invaluable political and intellectual asset, and the common ideological foundation for the concerted endeavor of the people of all ethnic groups.It is an open system that keeps developing.Practices since the publication 的实践证明，马克思主义只有与本国国情相结合、与时代发展同进步、与人民群众共命运，才能焕发出强大的生命力、创造力、感召力。在当代中国，坚持中国特色社会主义理论体系，就是真正坚持马克思主义。

实践永无止境，创新永无止境。全党同志要倍加珍惜、长期坚持和不断发展党历经艰辛开创的中国特色社会主义道路和中国特色社会主义理论体系，坚持解放思想、实事求是、与时俱进，勇于变革、勇于创新，永不僵化、永不停滞，不为任何风险所惧，不被任何干扰所惑，使中国特色社会主义道路越走越宽广，让当代中国马克思主义放射出更加灿烂的真理光芒。

十七大报告全文英汉对照 of the Communist Manifesto nearly 160 years ago have proved that only when Marxism is integrated with the conditions of a specific country, advances in step with the times and is tied to the destiny of the people can it demonstrate its strong vitality, creativity and appeal.In contemporary China, to stay true to Marxism means to adhere to the system of theories of socialism with Chinese characteristics.There is no end to practice or innovation.All Party members must cherish the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics and the system of theories of socialism with Chinese characteristics, which the Party explored and created after going through all the hardships, keep to the path and uphold the system for a long time to come and constantly develop them.We must continue to emancipate our minds, seek truth from facts, keep up with the times, make bold changes and innovations, stay away from rigidity or stagnation, fear no risks, never be confused by any interference, broaden our path of socialism with Chinese characteristics, and ensure that the truth of Marxism of contemporary China shines even more brightly.III.Thoroughly Applying the Scientific Outlook on Development To continue to build a moderately prosperous society in all respects and develop socialism with Chinese characteristics at the new stage of development, we must follow the guidance of Deng Xiaoping Theory and the important thought of Three Represents and thoroughly apply the Scientific Outlook on Development.The Scientific Outlook on Development is a continuation and development of the important thoughts on development advanced by the previous three generations of central collective leadership of the CPC and a concentrated expression of the Marxist world outlook and methodology with regard to development.It is a scientific theory that is in the same line as Marxism-Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory and the important thought of Three Represents and keeps up with the times.It is an important guiding principle for China's economic and social development and a major strategic thought that

三、深入贯彻落实科学发展观

在新的发展阶段继续全面建设小康社会、发展中国特色社会主义，必须坚持以邓小平理论和“三个代表”重要思想为指导，深入贯彻落实科学发展观。

科学发展观，是对党的三代中央领导集体关于发展的重要思想的继承和发展，是马克思主义关于发展的世界观和方法论的集中体现，是同马克思列宁主义、毛泽东思想、邓小平理论和“三个代表”重要思想既一脉相承又与时俱进的科学理论，是我国经济社会发展的重要指导方针，是发展中国特色社会主义必须坚持和贯彻的重大战略思想。

科学发展观，是立足社会主义初级阶段基本国情，总结我国发展实践，借鉴国

十七大报告全文英汉对照 we must uphold and apply in developing socialism with Chinese characteristics.In light of the basic reality that China is in the primary stage of socialism, the Scientific Outlook on Development has been formulated to meet new requirements of development by analyzing China's own practice and drawing on the experience of other countries in development.At this new stage in the new century, China's development shows a series of new features which are mainly as follows: The economic strength has increased markedly, but the overall productivity remains low, the capacity for independent innovation is weak, and the longstanding structural problems and the extensive mode of growth are yet to be fundamentally addressed.The socialist market economy is basically in place, but there remain structural and institutional obstacles slowing down development, and further reform in difficult areas is confronted with deep-seated problems.A relatively comfortable standard of living has been achieved for the people as a whole, butthe trend of a growing gap in income distribution has not been thoroughly reversed, there are still a considerable number of impoverished and low-income people in both urban and rural areas, and it has become more difficult to accommodate the interests of all sides.Efforts to balance development have yielded remarkable results, but the foundation of agriculture remains weak, the rural areas still lag behind in development, and we face an arduous task to narrow the urban-rural and interregional gaps in development and promote balanced economic and social development.Socialist democracy has continued to develop and we have made steady progress in implementing the rule of law as a fundamental principle, but efforts to improve democracy and the legal system fall somewhat short of the need to expand people's democracy and promote economic and social development, and political restructuring has to be deepened.Socialist culture is thriving as never before, but the people have growing cultural needs and have become more independent, selective, changeable and diverse in thinking, setting higher requirements for the development of an advanced socialist culture.Our society has become

事实充分说明，过去的五年是改革开放和全面建设小康社会取得重大进展的五年，是社会生产力和综合国力显著增强的五年，是社会事业全面发展和人民得到更多实惠的五年，是我国国际地位和影响不断提高的五年。

五年来，我们树立和落实科学发展观，着力发展经济、深化改革开放、保障和改善民生，促进社会和谐，付出了巨大努力，做了大量工作。

(一)加强和改善宏观调控，促进经济平稳快速发展

我们围绕解决经济运行中的突出矛盾，注重宏观调控的预见性、及时性和有效性。几年来，针对固定资产投资增长过快、货币信贷投放过多、外贸顺差过大，以及农业基础薄弱等经济发展中的不稳定、不协调、不可持续的问题，严把土地、信贷两个闸门，提高市场准入门槛，适时调整财政政策、货币政策，完善产业政策和土地政策，调整经济结构，加强薄弱环节。根据形势的变化，多次及时调整金融机构存款准备金率、存贷款基准利率，取消或降低高耗能、高排放和资源性产品的出口退税。这些宏观调控措施取得明显成效，经济连续五年保持平稳快速发展，没有出现大的起落。

我们从加强农业基础入手，把促进粮食增产和农民增收作为首要任务，在制度、政策和投入方面采取一系列重大举措。全部取消了农业税、牧业税和特产税，每年减轻农民负担1335亿元。同时，建立农业补贴制度，对农民实行粮食直补、良种补贴、农机具购置补贴和农业生产资料综合补贴，对产粮大县和财政困难县乡实行奖励补助。

大幅度增加对农业农村投入，中央财政用于“三农”的支出五年累计1.6万亿元，其中用于农村基础设施建设近3000亿元，地方也较多增加了投入。五年新增节水灌溉面积1亿亩、新增沼气用户1650万户、新建改建农村公路130万公里，解决了9748万农村人口饮水困难和饮水安全问题，建立了重大动物疫病防控体系，防止了高致病性禽流感等疫情的蔓延。

这些措施，极大地调动了农民的积极性，有力地推动了社会主义新农村建设，农村发生了历史性变化，亿万农民由衷地感到高兴。农业的发展，为整个经济社会的稳定和发展发挥了重要作用。

我们制定了国家中长期科学和技术发展规划纲要，对2006到2020年的科技发展作出全面部署，启动一批重大专项。这对增强自主创新能力，推进创新型国家建设，有着重要而深远的影响。

基础科学和前沿技术研究得到加强，取得高性能计算机、第三代移动通信、超级杂交水稻等一批重大创新成果，形成了一批具有自主知识产权和市场竞争力的产品。五年中央财政用于科技的投入达到3406亿元。全社会研究与实验发展经费，从2002年1288亿元增加到2007年的3664亿元，占国内生产总值的比重从1.07%提高到1.49%。以企业为主体的技术创新体系建设取得重要进展。科技创新支撑和引领经济社会发展的能力明显增强。

我们制定和实施一系列产业政策和专项规划，促进产业结构的优化升级。信息、生物、航空航天、新能源、新材料、海洋等高新技术产业加快发展。振兴装备制造业的成效显著。旅游、金融、物流等现代服务业蓬勃发展。基础设施基础产业建设取得长足进展，一批重大的工程相继建成或者顺利推进。

青藏铁路提前一年建成通车，三峡工程防洪、发电、航运等综合效益全面发挥，西电东送、西气东输全面投产，南水北调工程进展顺利，溪洛渡水电站、红沿河核电站、京沪高速铁路和千万吨级炼油厂、百万吨级乙烯等重大项目陆续开工建设。五年新增电力装机3.5亿千瓦，是1950年到2002年53年的总和；新增公路19.2万公里，其中高速公路2.8万公里；新增铁路营运里程6100公里；建成万吨级以上泊位568个；新增电信用户4.94亿户，有效地改善了能源交通通信的状况，增强了经济社会发展的后劲。

我们高度重视资源节约和环境保护。“十一五”规划要把节能和减排作为约束性目标。近两年，又提出并实施节能减排综合性工作方案，建立节能减排指标体系、监测体系、考核体系和目标责任制，颁布了应对气候变化国家方案。依法淘汰一大批落后生产能力，关停小火电2157万千瓦、小煤矿1.12万处，淘汰落后炼铁产能4659万吨、炼钢产能3747万吨、水泥产能8700万吨。启动了十大重点节能工程。

燃煤电厂脱硫工程取得突破性的进展。中央政府投资支持重点流域水污染防治项目691个。继续推进天然林保护、京津风沙源治理等生态建设，五年累计退耕还林、植树造林4.79亿亩，退牧还草5.19亿亩。加强土地和水资源保护，五年整理复垦开发补充耕地2289万亩。

经过各方面的努力，节能减排取得积极进展，2007年单位国内生产总值能耗比上年下降3.27%，化学需氧量、二氧化硫排放总量近年来首次出现双下降，比上年分别下降3.14%和4.66%。节约资源和保护环境从认识到实践都发生了重要转变。

我们实施区域发展总体战略。西部大开发继续推进，五年中央财政支持重点建设投资2800多亿元，基础设施和生态环境建设取得明显进展，重点地区和特色优势产业加快发展。制定和实施振兴东北地区等老工业基地战略，大型的粮食基地建设不断加强，国有企业改革改组改造取得突破性的进展，重大技术装备国产化成效显著，资源型城市经济转型试点进展顺利，老工业基地焕发出新的生机和活力。

制定和实施促进中部地区崛起政策措施，粮食主产区现代农业建设步伐加快，重要能源原材料工业、装备制造业和综合交通运输体系进一步发展。东部地区继续率先发展，经济实力和整体素质显著提升。经济特区、上海浦东新区、天津滨海新区开发开放加快推进。这些重大举措，促进了区域经济合理布局和协调发展。

(二)大力推进改革开放，注重制度建设和创新

全面深化农村改革。以乡镇机构、农村义务教育和县乡财政管理体制改革为主要内容的农村综合改革，取得阶段性的重要成果。放开粮食收购市场，实现了粮食购销市场化。集体林权制度改革进行了成功的探索。供销合作社、国有农场等改革进展顺利。

五年来，我们在民主法制建设、国防和军队建设、港澳台工作和外交等方面，也取得了重要进展。

稳步推进社会主义民主法制建设。各级政府自觉接受同级人民代表大会及其常委会的监督，主动接受人民政协的民主监督，认真听取民主党派、工商联、无党派人士、人民团体的意见，通过多种形式征求专家学者和人民群众的建议，接受新闻媒体和社会各界的监督。实行重大事项决策公示和听证制度。

五年来，我们始终重视政府自身改革和建设。本届政府把实行科学民主决策、推进依法行政、加强行政监督作为政府工作的三项基本准则。制定全面推进依法行政实施纲要，推动政府职能转变和管理创新，强化了社会管理和公共服务。认真贯彻实施行政许可法，推进行政审批制度改革，国务院各部门取消和调整行政审批项目692项。推进政务公开，完善新闻发布制度，加强电子政务建设。全国应急管理体系基本建立。监察、审计等专门监督工作卓有成效。公务员教育培训和管理法制化进一步加强。坚持不懈地开展反腐败斗争和加强政风建设，治理商业贿赂工作取得良好成效，依法查出违法违规案件和失职渎职的行为，惩处腐败分子。

过去五年，我们在丰富实践中积累了许多宝贵经验，主要体会是：

第一，必须坚持解放思想。解放思想、实事求是是我们党的思想路线。只有坚持一切从实际出发，破除迷信，敢于冲破不合时宜的观念束缚，尊重群众首创精神，大胆探索、实践和创造，与时俱进，才能使社会社会主义现代化事业充满生机和活力。

第二，必须坚持落实科学发展观。科学发展观是发展中国特色社会主义重大战略思想，是我国经济社会发展的重要指导方针。我们要坚持把发展作为第一要务，着力转变经济发展方式，调整经济结构，提高经济增长质量和效益；坚持以人为本，注重统筹兼顾，推动全面协调可持续发展。只有深入贯彻落实科学发展观，才能实现经济社会又好又快发展，促进社会和谐。

第三，必须坚持改革开放。改革开放是决定当代中国命运重大而关键的抉择。我们要坚定不移地推进经济体制改革、政治体制改革，发展社会主义民主政治，完善社会主义市场经济体制，解放和发展生产力，促进社会公平正义，实现人的全面发展。开放也是改革，开放兼容才能强国。改革开放贯穿于社会主义现代化建设的整个过程，任何时候都不能动摇。

第四，必须坚持搞好宏观调控。宏观调控与市场机制都是社会主义市场经济体制的组成部分。我们要更大程度地发挥市场在资源配置中的基础性作用，增强企业活力和竞争力。同时，要加强和改善宏观调控，坚持主要运用经济手段、法律手段，发挥各种政策的组合效应；坚持区别对待、有保有压，不搞一刀切，不搞急刹车；坚持不断总结经验，及时调整政策，注重实际效果。只有把市场机制和宏观调控有机结合起来，才能保证整个经济充满活力、富有效率、持续健康协调发展。

第五，必须坚持执政为民。政府的一切权力都是人民赋予的，执政为民是各级政府的崇高使命。我们要牢记全心全意为人民服务的宗旨，把实现好、维护好、发展好最广大人民的根本利益，作为政府工作的出发点和落脚点。更加注重保障和改善民生，特别要关心和解决城乡低收入群众的生活困难，使全体人民共享改革发展成果。只有坚持一切属于人民，一切为了人民，一切依靠人民，一切归功于人民，我们的各项事业才能获得最广泛、最可靠的群众基础和力量源泉。

第六，必须坚持依法行政。遵守宪法和法律是政府一切工作的根本原则。我们要严格按照法定权限和程序行使权力、履行职责，加强政府立法，规范行政执法，完善行政监督，建设法治政府，不断提高依法行政能力。只有全面推行依法行政，努力做到有权必有责、用权受监督、侵权要赔偿、违法要追究，让权力在阳光下运行，才能保证人民赋予的权力始终用来为人民谋利益。

我们也清醒地认识到，经济社会发展和政府工作还存在不少问题，国内外形势发展的变化使我们面临诸多新的挑战和风险。

——经济运行中一些突出问题和深层次矛盾依然存在。近年来固定资产投资增长过快，货币信贷投放过多，国际收支不平衡。长期形成的结构性矛盾和增长方式粗放的问题仍然突出。投资与消费关系不协调，投资率持续偏高；一二三产业发展不协调，工业特别是重工业比重偏大，服务业比重偏低；自主创新能力不强，经济增长的资源环境代价过大。农业基础仍然薄弱，农业稳定发展和农民持续增收的难度加大，城乡、区域发展差距扩大的趋势尚未扭转。特别是影响经济发展的体制机制障碍还相当突出，改革攻坚任务繁重。

——涉及群众切身利益的问题有待进一步解决。当前物价上涨、通货膨胀压力加大，是广大群众最为关注的问题。去年居民消费价格总水平比上年上涨4.8%，主要食品和居住类价格涨幅较大。物价上涨有多方面的因素：国内农产品价格多年在低位运行，近期的价格上涨有其必然性和一定的合理因素，但对群众特别是低收入群众生活影响较大；近年来国际市场初级产品价格大幅上升，也直接影响国内价格上涨。由于推动价格上涨的因素还将存在，今年价格上涨的压力仍然较大。同时，生产资料价格不断上升，房地产等资产价格上涨过快，防止通货膨胀的任务相当艰巨。劳动就业、社会保障、教育、医疗卫生、收入分配、住房、产品质量安全、安全生产、社会治安等方面还有不少问题需要认真加以解决。

——国际经济环境变化不确定因素和潜在风险增加。随着经济全球化深入发展，我国经济与世界经济联系越来越密切。当前全球经济失衡加剧、增速放缓，国际竞争更加激烈；美国次级抵押贷款危机影响蔓延，美元持续贬值，国际金融市场风险增大；国际市场粮食价格上涨，石油等初级产品价格高位运行；贸易保护主义加剧，贸易摩擦增多。国际上一些政治因素对世界经济走势影响也不容忽视。这些都可能对我国经济发展带来不利影响。我国正处在改革发展的关键时期，必须充分做好应对国际环境变化的各种准备，提高防范风险的能力。

——政府自身建设和管理需要加强。我们深深感到，政府工作与形势的要求和人民的期望还有不小的差距。政府职能转变还不到位，社会管理和公共服务比较薄弱；一些部门职责交叉、权责脱节，相互推诿，办事效率低下；一些政府工作人员服务意识不强，素质不高；对权力的监督和约束机制不健全，形式主义、官僚主义问题比较突出，弄虚作假、奢侈浪费和腐败现象比较严重。

我们一定要始终保持清醒头脑，增强忧患意识，以对国家、对人民高度负责的使命感和紧迫感，更加兢兢业业、扎扎实实地做好政府各项工作。

各位代表！

过去五年的成就和进步，来之不易。这是在改革开放多年来奠定的基础上取得的，是以胡锦涛同志为总书记的党中央驾驭全局、正确领导的结果，是全国各族人民奋发进取、共同努力的结果，也是与广大海外侨胞、国际友人的支持和帮助分不开的。在战胜种种严重困难和挑战、完成各项重大任务中，充分表现了中国人民不畏艰险、一往无前的决心、勇气和意志。我代表国务院，向全国各族人民，向各民主党派、各人民团体和各界人士，表示诚挚的感谢！向香港特别行政区同胞、澳门特别行政区同胞和台湾台胞，以及广大侨胞，表示诚挚的感谢！向世界各国政府、国际组织和国际友人对中国现代化事业的理解和支持，表示诚挚的感谢！

第二，2008年的主要任务

今年是全国贯彻党的十七大精神的第一年，改革发展任务繁重而艰巨，做好政府工作意义重大。

政府工作的基本思路和主要任务是：高举中国特色社会主义伟大旗帜，以邓小平理论和“三个代表”重要思想为指导，深入贯彻落实科学发展观，更加重视加强和改善宏观调控，更加重视推进改革开放和自主创新，更加重视调整经济结构和提高发展质量，更加重视节约资源和保护环境，更加重视改善民生和促进社会和谐，推进社会主义经济建设、政治建设、文化建设、社会建设，加快全面建设小康社会进程。

今年国民经济和社会发展预期目标是：在优化结构、提高效益、降低消耗、保护环境的基础上，国内生产总值增长8%左右；居民消费价格总水平涨幅控制在4.8%左右；城镇新增就业1000万人，城镇登记失业率控制在4.5%左右；国际收支状况有所改善。

这里要着重说明，提出国内生产总值增长8%左右，主要是综合考虑了国内和国际多种因素，着眼于保持经济平稳较快发展，引导各方面把主要精力和工作重点放在转变发展方式、深化改革、加快社会建设上，防止片面追求和盲目攀比经济增长速度，实现经济社会又好又快发展。提出居民消费价格总水平涨幅控制在4.8%左右，主要是由于去年价格上涨对今年价格的翘尾影响较大，推动价格上涨的因素较多，控制物价上涨的难度加大；同时，又要考虑到居民、企业和社会各方面的承受能力，努力避免物价涨幅过大。

实现经济社会发展的目标和任务，需要把握以下原则：坚持稳中求进，促进经济平稳较快发展；坚持好字优先，加快转变经济发展方式；坚持改革开放，注重推进制度建设和创新；坚持以人为本，加快以改善民生为重点的社会建设。今年经济工作，要把防止经济由偏快转为过热、防止价格由结构性上涨演变为明显通货膨胀作为宏观调控的首要任务；鉴于当前国内外经济形势发展的不确定因素较多，要密切跟踪分析新情况新问题，审时度势，从实际出发，及时灵活地采取相应对策，正确把握宏观调控的节奏、重点和力度，保持经济平稳较快发展，避免出现大的起落。

今年要着重抓好以下九个方面的工作：

(一)搞好宏观调控，保持经济平稳较快发展

根据国内外经济形势和宏观调控任务的要求，今年要实行稳健的财政政策和从紧的货币政策。

继续实行稳健的财政政策，就是要保持财政政策的连续性和稳定性，充分发挥财政促进结构调整和协调发展的重要作用，增加对薄弱环节、改善民生、深化改革等方面的支出；同时，进一步减少财政赤字和长期建设国债。今年，中央财政赤字预算拟安排1800亿元，比去年预算赤字减少了650亿元。拟安排国债投资300亿元，比去年减少200亿元。增加中央预算内经常性建设投资，中央建设投资总计为1521亿元。继续调整财政支出和政府投资结构，较大幅度地增加“三农”、社会保障、医疗卫生、教育、文化、节能减排和廉租住房建设等方面的支出。要抓好增收节支，依法加强税收征管，规范非税收入管理，控制一般性支出。改革政府投资管理方式，提高投资使用效益。

合理安排财政超收收入。去年全国财政比预算超收7239亿元，其中中央财政超收4168亿元。超预算收入使用的原则是：集中财力办关系民生和制度性建设方面的事，调整结构，加强薄弱环节。依法增加地方两税返还和一般性转移支付的支出；增加农林水、教育、文化和科技方面的支出；增加社会保障、医疗卫生、司法保障和廉租住房建设的支出；增加节能减排和环境保护的支出；解决农村义务教育债务和国有粮食企业财务挂账等历史遗留问题的支出。同时，削减财政赤字450亿元；拟增加中央预算稳定调节基金1032亿元。

实行从紧的货币政策，主要是考虑当前固定资产投资反弹的压力较大，货币信贷投放仍然偏多，流动性过剩矛盾尚未缓解，价格上涨的压力明显，需要加强金融调控，控制货币供应量和信贷过快的增长。一要综合运用公开市场炒作、存款准备金率等方式，加大对冲流动性力度；合理发挥利率杠杆调节作用；完善人民币汇率形成机制，增强汇率弹性。二要着力优化信贷结构，严格执行贷款条件，有保有压。控制中长期贷款增长，特别是对高效能、高排放企业和产能过剩行业的贷款；创新和改进银行信贷服务，完善担保、贴息等制度，加大对“三农”、服务业、中小企业、自主创新、节能环保、区域协调发展等方面的贷款支持。三要深化外汇管理体制改革。完善结售汇制度，加强跨境资本流动监管，稳步推进资本项目可兑换。拓展外汇储备使用渠道和方式。同时，采取综合措施，努力改善国际收支状况。

防止价格总水平过快上涨，是今年宏观调控的重大任务。必须从更加有效供给和抑制不合理需求量方面采取有力措施。一要大力发展生产，特别要加强粮食、食用植物油、肉类等基本生活必需品和其他紧缺商品生产，认真落实支持发展生产的政策措施，搞好产运销的衔接。二要严格控制工业用粮和粮食出口；坚决制止玉米深加工能力盲目扩张，违规在建项目必须停建。三要加快健全储备体系，改进和完善储备调节和进出口调节的方式，适当增加国内紧缺重要消费品的进口。四要把握好政府调价的时机和力度，必须调整的资源性产品价格和公共服务收费也要从严控制，防止出现轮番涨价。五要健全大宗农产品、初级产品供求和价格变动的监测预警制度，做好市场供应和价格应急预案。六要加强市场和价格监管，抓好教育收费、医药价格、农资价格及涉农收费的监督检查。依法打击串通涨价、囤积居奇、哄抬物价等违法违规行为。七要及时完善和落实对低收入群众的补助办法，特别要增加对生活困难群众和家庭经济困难学生的补贴，确保他们基本生活水平不因物价上涨而下降。八要遏制生产资料尤其是农业生产资料价格过快上涨。九要坚持执行“米袋子”省长负责制和“菜篮子”市长负责制。物价问题与人民生活密切相关，各级政府一定要把稳定市场物价放在更加重要的位置上。现在，国家粮食库存充裕，主要工业消费品供大与求，只要切实加强领导，认真落实各项政策措施，上下共同努力，就一定能够保证市场供应和价格基本稳定。

近期发生的严重低温雨雪冰冻灾害，给经济造成重大损失，给群众生活带来很大困难。要继续做好灾后重建工作，把灾害的损失减少到最低程度。要以电网恢复重建为重点抓紧修复基础设施，尽快恢复农业生产，加强煤电油运协调工作，妥善安排受灾地区群众生活。同时，要从这次特大的自然灾害中，认真总结经验教训。加强电力、交通、通信等基础设施建设，提高抗灾和保障能力；加强应急体系和机制建设，提高预防和处置突发事件的能力；加强对现代条件下自然灾害特点和规律的研究，提高防灾减灾能力。(二)加强农业基础建设，促进农业发展和农民增收

今年，要千方百计争取农业有个好收成，努力增加农民收入，推进社会主义新农村建设。突出抓好三件事：一是大力发展粮食生产，保障农产品供给。粮食安全，关系经济社会发展全局，关系人民群众切身利益，丝毫不能放松粮食生产。要切实稳定粮食种植面积，提高单产水平。加大对粮食主产区和种粮农民的扶持力度，实施粮食战略工程，加快建立粮食核心产区，全面提高粮食综合生产能力和供给保障能力。农业生产既要增加总量，又要优化品种结构，促进各类重要农产品稳定增长。认真落实支持生猪、奶业、油料发展的政策措施。积极发展畜牧水产业，扶持和促进规模化健康养殖。推进农业标准化生产，提高农产品的质量安全水平。二是加强农业基础设施建设，加快完成大中型和重点小型病险水库除险加固任务。搞好小型农田水利建设，大力发展节水灌溉。加大土地开发整理复垦力度，搞好中低产田改造，提高耕地质量，建设一批高标准农田。加强农村饮水、道路、电网、通信、文化等基础设施建设，大力发展农村公共交通，改善农村人居环境。今年要再解决3200万农村人口的安全饮水问题，增加500万农村沼气用户，支持建设一批大中型沼气项目。三是拓宽农民增收渠道。加快发展高产优质高效生态安全农业，支持农业产业化经营和龙头企业发展，加强农村现代市场流通体系建设，壮大和提升农村二三产业，发展乡镇企业，增强县域经济实力。加强农村职业教育和技能培训，提高农民转移就业能力，发展劳务经济。加大扶贫开发力度，继续减少贫困人口。

主要措施是：一要大力增加投入。今年财政支农投入的增量要明显高于上年，国家固定资产投资用于农村的增量要明显高于上年，政府土地出让收入用于农村建设的增量要明显高于上年。调整耕地占用税的使用方向，改革城市建设维护税使用办法，增加农村建设投入。今年中央财政安排“三农”支出5625亿元，比上年增加1307亿元。

二要强化和完善农业支持政策。增加粮食直补，农资综合直补。扩大良种补贴规模和范围增加农机具购置补贴种类，提高补贴标准，从今年起农机具购置补贴覆盖到所有农业县。根据情况提高粮食最低收购价。

三要坚持最严格的耕地保护制度，特别是加强基本农田保护。按土地利用总体规划从严审查调整各类规划的用地规模和标准，严格执行土地用途管制制度，依法严格管理农村集体和个人建设用地，坚决制止违法违规占用耕地和林地的行为。

四要完善农业科技推广和服务体系。加强农业科技创新和成果转化，强化以公益性为主的多元化农业技术推广服务。加快推进农业机械化。加强良种、信息、农产品质量安全和防灾减灾体系建设，搞好动物疫病和植物病虫害防控。扩大测土配方施肥规模。

五要全面推进农村改革。加快农村综合改革步伐。采取多种有效措施，积极稳妥地化解乡村债务。中央和地方将增加财政投入，用三年左右时间基本化解农村义务教育历史债务。坚持农村基本经营制度，稳定和完善土地承包关系，按照依法自愿有偿原则，健全土地承包经营权流转市场，有条件的地方可以发展多种形式的适度规模经营。大力发展农民专业合作组织。全面推进集体林权制度改革。

(三)推进经济结构调整，转变发展方式

坚持扩大内需方针，调整投资和消费关系，促进经济增长由主要依靠投资、出口拉动向依靠消费、投资、出口协调拉动转变。关键是合理控制固定资产投资规模，着力优化投资结构。坚持严把土地、信贷闸门和市场准入标准，特别是要加强和规范新开工项目管理，严格执行项目新开工条件。坚决控制高耗能、高排放和产能过剩行业盲目投资和重复建设，提高限制发展行业的准入标准和项目资本金比例。违法违规建设项目要坚决停建。加大对经济社会发展薄弱环节、重点领域和中西部地区的支持力度。从严控制新增建设用地特别是工业用地，今年土地利用计划总规模控制在去年水平。要适应新形势、新情况，加强和改进对社会各类投资活动的引导、调控和监管。

坚持把推进自主创新作为转变发展方式的中心环节。要认真落实国家中长期科学和技术发展规划纲要，全面启动和组织实施大型飞机、水体污染控制与治理、大型油气田及煤层气开发等国家重大专项。实施基础研究、高技术研究和科技支撑计划。着力突破新能源汽车、高速轨道交通、工农业节水等一批重大关键技术。推进国家创新体系建设，重点建设一批国家实验室、国家工程中心、面向企业的创新支撑平台和企业技术中心，加强科技基础能力建设。深化科技管理体制改革，统筹和优化科技资源配置。今年中央财政将安排科技支出1134亿元，比上年增加134亿元。完善和落实支持自主创新的政策，充分发挥企业作为技术创新主体的作用，鼓励、引导企业增加研发投入。加大政府采购对自主创新产品的支持力度。扩大创业风险和投资试点范围。实施知识产权战略，加强国际科技合作。

推进产业结构优化升级。坚持走中国特色新型工业化道路，推进信息化与工业化融合。着力发展高新技术产业，大力振兴装备制造业，改造和提升传统产业，加快发展服务业特别是现代服务业。继续实施新型显示器、宽带通信与网络、生物医药等一批重大高技术产业专项。充分发挥国家高新技术开发区的集聚、引领和辐射作用。围绕大型清洁高效发电设备、高档数控机床和基础制造装备等关键领域，推进重大装备、关键零部件及元器件自主研发和国产化。加强地质工作，提高资源勘查开发水平。积极发展现代能源原材料产业和综合运输体系。

REPORT ON THE WORK OF THE GOVERNMENT

Delivered at the First Session of the Eleventh National

People's Congress on March 5, 2008

Wen Jiabao

Premier of the State Council

Fellow Deputies，On behalf of the State Council, I would now like to deliver to you a report on the work of the government over the past five years and on the arrangements for its work this year for your deliberation and approval and also for comments and suggestions from the members of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference(CPPCC).I.Review of the Work of the Past Five Years

The past five years since the First Session of the Tenth National People's Congress was a momentous period.Under the leadership of the Communist Party of China(CPC), governments at all levels and people of all the ethnic groups in China diligently followed the guiding principles set out at the Sixteenth CPC National Congress and worked in concert and with dedication.We vigorously responded to the complex and volatile international environment, strove to overcome various difficulties hindering economic and social development, and prevailed over the sudden and severe outbreak of SARS and catastrophic natural disasters such as the recent snow and ice storms in the south that the region has rarely seen before.We made major achievements in reform, opening up and modernization, which attracted the attention of the world.– The economy reached a new high.China's GDP in 2007 reached 24.66 trillion yuan, an increase of 65.5% over 2002 and an average annual increase of 10.6%, rising from the sixth highest one in the world to the fourth.Total government revenue reached 5.13 trillion yuan, a 171% increase over 2002.Our foreign exchange reserves exceeded US$ 1.52 trillion.– The agricultural tax was rescinded, ending the centuries-old practice of farmers paying taxes.China's grain output rose four consecutive years to reach 501.5 million tons in 2007.– Major progress was made in the reform of state-owned enterprises(SOEs), the financial system, fiscal and taxation systems, the system of foreign trade and economic cooperation, and the administrative system.China has entered a new stage in developing a more open economy.Total volume of imports and exports reached $2.17 trillion in 2007, raising China from the sixth largest trading nation in the world to the third largest.– Good progress was made in efforts to make China more innovative, and a number of major scientific and technological innovations with international impact were made.Manned spaceflights and our first moon exploration project were successfully carried out.– Free compulsory education was made available to all rural students, marking an important milestone in the history of the development of education in China.The basic frameworks for a public health system and a system of basic medical services covering both urban and rural areas have been put in place.– Steady improvement was made in the urban and rural system of public cultural services.Significant progress was made in reform of the cultural management system, and the development of cultural programs and cultural industries was accelerated.The Shanghai Special Olympics was successfully held.Preparations for the 2008 Olympics and Paralympics in Beijing and the 2010 World Expo in Shanghai proceeded smoothly.– Progress was made in developing democracy and the legal system and in enhancing law-based government.Greater efforts were made to safeguard people's rights and interests and ensure social fairness and justice.– People's living standards improved significantly.Fifty-one million urban jobs were created over the past five years.Urban per capita annual disposable income rose from 7,703 yuan in 2002 to 13,786 yuan in 2007, and rural per capita annual net income rose from 2,476 yuan to 4,140 yuan during the same period.The basic framework for a social safety net for both urban and rural areas was put in place.The number of people living in poverty was reduced every year.All these improvements fully demonstrate that during the past five-year period great strides were made in carrying out reform and opening up and building a moderately prosperous society in all respects.During this time the productive forces and overall national strength were significantly improved, social programs were comprehensively developed, people received even greater benefits and China's international standing and influence constantly grew.During the past five years we established and put into practice the Scientific Outlook on Development, worked hard on economic development, deepened reform and opening up, ensured the wellbeing of the people, improved their lives, and promoted social harmony.We made great efforts and accomplished a great deal.1.Improving macroeconomic regulation to promote steady and rapid economic development.We endeavored to make macroeconomic regulation more proactive, responsive and effective, with the focus on resolving major problems affecting economic operation.Over the past few years, we tightened controls on the supplies of land and credit, raised market access requirements, adjusted financial and monetary policies as needed, improved industrial policies and the land policy, adjusted the economic structure, shored up weak links and effectively regulated economic operation to address problems such as overheated growth in fixed asset investment, excessive supplies of money and credit, excessively large trade surplus, and weakness in agriculture, the foundation of the economy, which could cause economic development to become unstable, unbalanced and unsustainable.In response to changes in the economy, we have repeatedly made timely adjustments in the required reserve ratio and the benchmark interest rates for savings and loans in financial institutions and rescinded or reduced export tax rebates for resource products and products whose production is energy intensive or highly polluting.These macroeconomic regulatory measures produced significant results, and China's economy maintained steady and rapid development throughout the five-year period, without experiencing major fluctuations.We adopted a series of major measures related to institutions, policies and investment to increase grain production and rural incomes as a matter of priority and strengthen agriculture as the foundation of the economy.We completely rescinded the agricultural tax, livestock tax and tax on special agricultural products throughout China, reducing the burden on farmers by an average of 133.5 billion yuan per year.In addition, we set up a subsidy scheme for agriculture, instituting direct subsidies for grain producers, subsidies for superior crop varieties, subsidies for the purchase of agricultural machinery and tools, and general subsidies for agricultural production supplies and providing incentives to major grain-producing counties and subsidies to counties and townships with serious financial difficulties.Investment in agriculture and rural areas was greatly increased.Central government allocations for agriculture, rural areas and farmers reached 1.6 trillion yuan over the past five years, including nearly 300 billion yuan that was used for developing rural infrastructure.Local governments also substantially increased their input.During the five-year period, an additional 6.667 million hectares of farmland was equipped with water-saving irrigation facilities, methane gas was made available to 16.5 million more households, 1.3 million kilometers of rural roads were built or upgraded, and safe drinking water was provided to an additional 97.48 million rural residents.A system for the prevention and control of major animal diseases was set up, and the spread of highly pathogenic avian influenza was prevented.These measures greatly encouraged farmers to grow more, gave a strong impetus to the development of a new socialist countryside and brought historic changes to rural China to the great satisfaction of hundreds of millions of rural people.Agricultural development played an important role in ensuring the overall stability and development of China's economy and society.We formulated the Outline of the National Program for Long-and Medium-Term Scientific and Technological Development, which contains comprehensive plans for the development of science and technology in China from 2006 through 2020 and calls for the launching of a number of major projects.This will have an important and far-reaching impact on efforts to strengthen China's capacity for independent innovation and make it an innovative country.Work in basic research and research

in housing conditions, encouraging progress was made in improving conditions in shantytowns, and much more public services were made available to urban and rural residents.Public administration.Work in this area was concentrated on protecting the legitimate rights and interests of the people and resolving social tensions.We formulated and implemented policies and measures for protecting the legitimate rights and interests of rural migrant workers in urban areas.We devoted a great deal of effort to resolving infringements on the interests of the public related to land expropriation and requisition, housing demolition, enterprises converting to a stockholding system and environmental protection.Improvement was made in the handling of complaints made by individuals through letters and visits.We paid very close attention to improving workplace safety and the safety oversight system, instituted a responsibility system for workplace safety and improved related legislation.The public security system for crime prevention and control was further strengthened, and overall crime control work was intensified.We combated criminal activities in accordance with the law, effectively protected China''s security and maintained law and order.Taking advantage of the rapid development of the economy and significant improvement of public finance, we worked hard to resolve some longstanding problems.We sold off nonperforming assets of state-owned commercial banks, made alternate arrangements for nonperforming loans and long-term non-paying accounts of rural credit cooperatives, eased the long-term debts of SOEs, gradually eased policy-related losses of state-owned grain enterprises, cleared up overdue tax rebates for exports, and improved the policy for paying compensation for requisition of land for large and medium-sized reservoirs and assisting people displaced by reservoir projects.Resolution of these problems played an important role in promoting economic and social development.We made major progress over the past five years in enhancing democracy and the legal system, building national defense and the military, doing our work related to Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, and conducting diplomacy.We made steady progress in improving socialist democracy and the socialist legal system.Governments at all levels conscientiously accepted the

development of cross-Straits relations.We actively promoted exchange and cooperation with other countries, made major progress in conducting diplomacy on all fronts, and resolutely safeguarded and developed China's interests.China stepped up dialogue with the major countries and increased trust and expanded cooperation with them.China-US relations developed steadily, the China-Russia partnership of strategic coordination reached a new height, China-Europe cooperation in all areas went from strength to strength, and China-Japan relations improved.Good-neighborly relations with surrounding countries were further strengthened, further achievements were made in regional cooperation, and China's solidarity and cooperation with other developing countries entered a new stage.We successfully carried out a series of major multilateral diplomatic activities.We appropriately responded to new challenges in the international arena, actively and responsibly participated in efforts to resolve global issues, and played an important and constructive role in the resolution of issues concerning international and regional hotspots.We paid close attention to self-reform and self-improvement of the government during the five-year period.This government took scientific and democratic policy-making, law-based administration and better administrative oversight as the three basic principles for its work.We formulated the Program for Advancing All Aspects of Government Administration in Accordance with the Law and promoted change in the way the government functions and innovations in management, thereby improving public administration and public services.We diligently carried out the Administrative Permit Law and promoted reform of the system of administrative examination and approval.As a result, departments of the State Council eliminated or streamlined a total of 692 items requiring examination and approval.We promoted greater openness in government affairs, improved the system for releasing information, and increased the application of e-government.Establishment of a national emergency response management system was basically completed.Oversight work such as supervision and auditing was quite effective.Further improvement was made in education and training of civil servants and in developing a legislative framework for civil-service administration.We worked unceasingly to combat corruption and improve the conduct of the government, made good progress in combating bribery in business, uncovered a number of violations of laws and regulations and cases of neglect and dereliction of duty, and punished corrupt persons.We learned many valuable lessons in our experiences over the last five years.The main ones are as follows.First, we must continue to liberate our thinking.Liberating our thinking and following a realistic and pragmatic approach is the Party's ideological line.We must proceed from reality in everything we do, eliminate superstition, break the shackles of outdated ideas, respect the people's pioneering spirit, boldly explore new ways, take concrete action, be creative, and keep up with the times to ensure that the cause of socialist modernization retains its great vitality.Second, we must steadfastly apply the Scientific Outlook on Development.This is a major strategic concept for developing socialism with Chinese characteristics and an important guiding principle for China's economic and social development.We must continue to take development as the top priority, concentrate on changing the way the economy develops, and adjust the economic structure to improve the quality and efficiency of economic growth.We must always put people first, attach great importance to overall planning, and promote comprehensive, balanced and sustainable development.Only by thoroughly applying the Scientific Outlook on Development can we achieve sound and rapid economic and social development and promote social harmony.Third, we must adhere to the reform and opening up policy.Reform and opening up is a major and crucial choice that is shaping the destiny of contemporary China.We need to unswervingly promote reform in economic and political institutions, develop socialist democracy, improve the socialist market economy, liberate and develop the productive forces, promote social fairness and justice, and achieve all-round personal development.Opening up is also a kind of reform, and a nation cannot become strong if it is not open and inclusive.We must continue to pursue reform and opening up throughout the course of socialist modernization and never deviate from this policy.Fourth, we must continue to exercise effective macroeconomic regulation.Both macroeconomic regulation and market forces are components of the socialist market economy.We need to make better use of the basic role of market forces in allocating resources, revitalize enterprises and improve their competitive edge.At the same time, we need to improve macroeconomic regulation, continue to carry out macroeconomic regulation mainly through economic and legal means, and get the complete range of government policies to fully play their role.We must continue to deal with each situation on its own merits, encourage growth in some sectors and discourage it in others as the situation requires, and refrain from taking a uniform approach to different situations or putting on the brakes without good reason.We must continue to draw lessons from our experiences, make policy adjustments as needed and be result-oriented.We must integrate the use of market forces with macroeconomic regulation in order to ensure that the economy remains vigorous, performs well, and develops in a sustainable, healthy and balanced way.Fifth, we must continue to run the government for the people.All the power of the government comes from the people, and running the government for them is a lofty mission of governments at all levels.We must never forget that serving the people wholeheartedly is our purpose, and make sure that the aim and outcome of the work of the government is to fulfill, safeguard and develop the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of people.We need to attach greater importance to ensuring the wellbeing of the people and improving their lives, in particular showing concern for urban and rural residents with low incomes and helping them make ends meet in their daily lives, in order to ensure that all of the people share in the fruits of reform and development.We must always keep in mind that everything belongs to the people, do everything for their benefit, rely on them in everything we do and attribute all our successes to their efforts.Only by doing so can we enjoy the broadest and most reliable support from the people and draw from them the strength for ensuring success in all our endeavors.Sixth, we must continue to run the government in accordance with the law.Abiding by the Constitution and laws is a fundamental principle for all the work of the government.We need to exercise our power and perform our functions and responsibilities within the jurisdiction stipulated by law and in accordance with legal procedures, improve government legislative work, standardize administrative law enforcement, improve administrative oversight, develop law-based government and enhance our ability to carry out administrative functions in accordance with the law.We must ensure that government administration fully complies with the law, that power comes with responsibility, that there is proper oversight on the exercise of power, that reparation is paid for infringement of rights, that any violation of the law is prosecuted, and that power is exercised in a transparent manner.This is the only way to ensure that the power entrusted to us by the people is always exercised in their interests.We are also clearly aware that there are still many problems affecting China's economic and social development and the work of the government, and that changes in the domestic and international environment present many new challenges and risks.– There are still some prominent issues and deep-rooted problems affecting economic performance.China has experienced overheated growth in fixed asset investment, excessive supplies of money and credit, and imbalance in its international payments in recent years.Longstanding structural problems and the extensive pattern of growth remain serious problems.There is a lack of balance between investment and consumption, with the investment rate still running too high.Development of primary, secondary and tertiary industries is not in balance, with too much investment in primary industry, particularly heavy industry, but too little investment in the service industry.China's capacity for independent innovation is still weak and the price paid for economic growth in terms of resource consumption and environmental pressure is too great.Agriculture, the foundation of the economy, remains weak.The difficulty of maintaining steady agricultural development and keeping the incomes of farmers increasing has grown, and the growing development gap between urban and rural areas and between regions has not been checked.In particular, the institutional factors hindering economic development remain serious, making institutional reform a daunting task.– More work needs to be done to resolve problems affecting the vital interests of the people.The current price hikes and increasing inflationary pressures are the biggest concern of the people.Last year's consumer price index(CPI)rose by 4.8% year-on-year, mainly due to large increases in the cost of food and housing.There are a variety of factors behind the price increases.Though the domestic prices of farm products have remained low for many years and some of the recent price increases were therefore overdue and somewhat reasonable, price increases nevertheless have a great impact on people's lives, especially on the lives of the low-income sector of the population.The prices of primary commodities on the international market have risen considerably in recent years, which directly puts upward pressure on domestic prices.Because factors driving prices up are still at work, upward pressure on prices will remain great this year.In addition, prices of the means of production have continued to rise and real estate prices have risen steeply, making the task of holding down inflation difficult.There are still quite a few problems in employment, the social safety net, education, medical and health care, income distribution, housing, product quality and safety, workplace safety and public security, and we need to work harder to resolve them.– Both uncertainties in the international economic environment and potential risks have increased.As economic globalization proceeds, the Chinese economy becomes increasingly tied to the world economy.The current imbalance in the global economy is only getting worse and global economic growth is slowing, making international competition even fiercer.The impact of the US sub-prime mortgage crisis is expanding, the value of the dollar is continuing to fall, and there is greater risk in international financial markets.Grain prices are rising and prices for petroleum and other primary products remain high in the international market.Trade protectionism has gotten worse, and trade frictions have increased.The effect of certain political factors in the international arena on world economic trends cannot be overlooked.All this could adversely affect China's economic development.China is now in a critical period in its reform and development, and we must be fully prepared for changes in the international environment and become better able to defuse risks.– The government's self-improvement efforts and administration need to be strengthened.We are keenly aware that the work and accomplishments of the government still fall somewhat short of what circumstances require and the people expect.The functions of government have not been completely transformed, and public administration and public services are still weak.Some government departments have overlapping responsibilities, their powers and responsibilities are not well matched, some try to shirk their responsibilities, and their performance is poor.Some government employees have an inadequate sense of responsibility toward the public and are not competent enough.Oversight mechanisms and checks on government authority are not strong enough.The problems of formalism and bureaucratic behavior are fairly common, and fraud, extravagance and waste, and corruption are quite serious.We must remain clear-headed at all times, be more mindful of potential danger, be highly responsible to the country and the people, maintain a high sense of mission and urgency, work even more industriously, and successfully carry out all of the government's work.Fellow Deputies，The achievements of the past five years have not come easily.They were built on a foundation laid through many years of reform and opening up, and are attributable to the correct leadership of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Hu Jintao as General Secretary, which has effectively managed the overall situation.Credit also goes to the hard work and concerted effort of the people of all the ethnic groups in China, and to the support and assistance of overseas Chinese nationals and foreign friends.Displaying indomitable determination, courage and will, the Chinese people have overcome untold difficulties and challenges and accomplished major tasks.On behalf of the State Council, I would like to sincerely thank the people of all the ethnic groups, the democratic parties, the people's organizations and people from all sectors of society.I would like to express my sincere thanks to our compatriots in Hong Kong and Macao special administrative regions and in Taiwan, as well as overseas Chinese nationals.I would like to thank governments of other countries, international organizations and foreign friends of China around the world for their understanding of and support for China's modernization.II.Major Tasks for 2008

This is the first year for comprehensively implementing the guiding principles set out at the Seventeenth CPC National Congress.We face arduous tasks in reform and development, and it is very important for us to successfully carry out the work of the government.The basic guidelines and major tasks for the government's work are as follows: We must hold high the great banner of socialism with Chinese characteristics;take Deng Xiaoping Theory and the important thought of Three Represents as our guide;fully apply the Scientific Outlook on Development;attach greater importance to improving macroeconomic regulation, promoting reform, opening up and independent innovation, adjusting the economic structure and improving the quality of development, conserving resources and protecting the environment, and improving people's lives and promoting social harmony;promote socialist economic, political, cultural and social development;and accelerate the process of building a moderately prosperous society in all respects.We have set the following targets for economic and social development in 2008: On the basis of improving the economic structure, productivity, energy efficiency and environmental protection, the GDP should grow by about 8%, and the rise in the CPI should be held at around 4.8%.Ten million jobs should be created in urban areas, and the rate of registered urban unemployment should be kept at around 4.5%.Some improvement should be made in the balance of payments.It is important to note here that in setting the GDP growth target at around 8% for 2008, we have taken into account a variety of domestic and international factors.Our goal is to maintain both steady and fast economic growth, and guide all sectors of society to concentrate on changing the pattern of development, deepening reform and accelerating social development.The different regions should not just seek faster growth or compete with each other to have the highest growth rate.We should promote both sound and fast economic and social development.The major considerations in setting the target for keeping the CPI this year at around 4.8% are as follows: Last year's price increases are still exerting a fairly strong influence and quite a few factors are creating inflationary pressure, making it difficult to bring price increases under control.At the same time, we have to take into consideration the ability of individuals, enterprises and all sectors of society to tolerate price increases and try our best to avoid sharp price increases.To attain the targets and accomplish the tasks for this year's economic and social development, we must adhere to the following principles: We must make progress while maintaining stability and aim for fast yet steady economic development.We must give priority to the quality rather than speed of development and accelerate improvement in the pattern of economic development.We must pursue reform and opening up and attach great importance to promoting institutional improvements and innovations.We must put people first and accelerate social development, with the focus on improving people's lives.The primary task for macroeconomic regulation this year is to prevent fast economic growth from becoming overheated growth and keep structural price increases from turning into significant inflation.There are quite a few uncertainties in the current economic situation at home and abroad, so we need to keep close track of new developments and problems, properly size up situations and take prompt and flexible measures to respond to them while keeping our feet firmly rooted in reality.We need to maintain the appropriate pace, focus and intensity of macroeconomic regulation to sustain steady and fast economic development and avoid drastic fluctuations in the economy.We need to concentrate on the following nine tasks this year:

1.Improving macroeconomic regulation to maintain fast yet steady economic development.In view of the current domestic and international economic situation we need to follow a prudent fiscal policy and a tight monetary policy this year to accomplish the tasks for macroeconomic regulation.Continuing to follow a prudent fiscal policy means that we must ensure the continuity and consistency of fiscal policy, get public finance to fully play its important role in promoting structural adjustment and balanced development, and increase expenditures to shore up weak links, improve people's lives and deepen reform.In addition, we need to further reduce the budget deficit and the volume of long-term development treasury bonds.The deficit for the central government budget this year is set at 180 billion yuan, 65 billion yuan less than last year.We plan to issue 30 billion yuan of treasury bonds for investment, 20 billion yuan less than last year, and increase allocations from the central government budget for general development, bringing total central government investment in development projects up to 152.1 billion yuan.We will continue to adjust the structure of government spending and investment by greatly increasing spending on agriculture, rural areas and farmers, the social safety net, medical and health care, education, culture, energy conservation and emissions reduction, and construction of low-rent housing.We will work hard to increase revenue and reduce expenditures, tighten tax collection and management in accordance with the law, improve management of non-tax revenue, and control regular expenditures.We need to reform the management of government investment to improve the performance of investments.Government revenue surplus must be used wisely.Total government revenue exceeded the targeted figure by more than 723.9 billion yuan last year, including 416.8 billion yuan in the central government budget.Surplus revenue should be concentrated on solving problems that have a direct bearing on people's lives, making institutional and structural improvements and strengthening weak links.Spending on the following items will be increased in accordance with the law: rebates on the consumption tax and value-added tax and general transfer payments to local governments;agriculture, forestry, water conservancy projects, education, culture, science, the social safety net, medical and health care, legal aid, construction of low-rent housing, energy conservation, emissions reduction and environmental protection;and resolution of debts for rural compulsory education, debts of state-owned grain enterprises and other long-overdue payments.In addition, the budget deficit should be reduced by 45 billion yuan and the central budget stability and regulation fund should be increased by 103.2 billion yuan.The decision to follow a tight monetary policy was based on the following considerations: the strong possibility of a resurgence in fixed asset investment, continued excessive supplies of money and credit, the still-unsolved problem of excess liquidity, and considerable inflationary pressure.For these reasons, we must improve financial regulation to control the excessively rapid growth in the supplies of money and credit.First, we will step up efforts to curb excess liquidity by using a combination of open market operations and the required deposit reserve ratio.We will make appropriate use of the lever of interest rates.We will improve the RMB exchange rate regime to make the exchange rate more flexible.Second, with the focus on improving the credit structure, we will strictly follow requirements for granting loans and guarantee some loans while restricting others.We will limit the increase in long-and medium-term loans, particularly to enterprises that are energy intensive or highly polluting and enterprises in industries with excess production capacity.We will make innovations and improvements in bank credit services, improve the systems of guarantees and interest discounts, and increase credit support for agriculture, rural areas, farmers, service industries, small and medium-sized enterprises, independent innovation, energy conservation, environmental protection, and balancing regional development.Third, we will deepen reform of the foreign exchange administration system.We will improve the system for foreign exchange settlements and sales and payments in foreign exchange, tighten oversight on the flow of capital across borders, and move steadily toward making the RMB convertible for capital accounts.We will develop new channels and means for using foreign exchange reserves.Comprehensive measures will be adopted to improve the balance of payments.One major task for macroeconomic regulation this year is to prevent the overall price level from rising rapidly.To fulfill this task, we must take powerful measures to increase effective supply while curbing excessive demand.First, we must expand production, especially the production of the basic necessities of life such as grain, vegetable oil and meat as well as other commodities in short supply.We must also earnestly implement policies and measures designed to support production and ensure coordination in the production, transport and sale of products.Second, we must strictly control industrial use of grain and grain exports.The reckless expansion of the capacity for intensive corn processing and construction work on such projects that violate regulations must be stopped.Third, we need to speed up improvement of the reserve system, improve methods for adjusting reserves and import and export volumes, and appropriately increase imports of major consumer goods that are in short supply on the domestic market.Fourth, we need to ensure that the timing and the size of government adjustments to prices are appropriate, and necessary adjustment of prices of resource products and public services should also be strictly controlled to prevent waves of price increases.Fifth, we need to improve the early-warning system to monitor supply and demand and price changes of principal agricultural products and primary products, and put in place a plan for responding to drastic changes in market supply and demand and prices.Sixth, we must strengthen market and price oversight and pay close attention to the oversight and inspection of prices and charges related to education, medical care, drugs, agricultural supplies, agriculture, rural areas and farmers.Illegal activities such as colluding or hoarding to drive up prices will be punished in accordance with the law.Seventh, we need to promptly improve and implement measures to aid the low-income sector of the population.In particular, we need to increase subsidies to poor people and students from poor families to ensure that their basic living standards do not drop because of price increases.Eighth, we must work to make sure that the prices of the means of production, particularly agricultural supplies, do not rise rapidly.Ninth, we will continue to implement the system of provincial governors assuming responsibility for the “rice bag”(grain supply)program and city mayors for the “vegetable basket”(nonstaple food supply)program.Governments at all levels must give high priority to keeping prices stable because price stability has a direct bearing on the quality of people's lives.The country currently has an adequate stock of grain, and the supply of major manufactured consumer goods exceeds demand.We can ensure adequate supply in the market and basic price stability as long as governments at all levels work to improve their leadership, diligently implement all policies and measures, and mount a concerted effort from the highest to the lowest level.The recent disaster resulting from snow and ice storms caused significant losses to China's economy and made life very difficult for disaster victims.We will continue the work of repairing the damage and minimizing losses from the disaster.Affected infrastructure will be promptly repaired, with the focus on restoring power grids.Agricultural production will be resumed as soon as possible.We will closely coordinate supplies of coal, electricity, petroleum and transportation to help disaster victims get back on their feet.In addition, we will learn from this large-scale natural disaster.We must accelerate development of infrastructure, including electricity, transportation and communications, to improve its capacity to resist disasters and maintain normal operations.We must improve the systems and mechanisms for responding to disasters to increase our ability to prevent and handle emergencies.We must step up research to better understand the features and patterns of natural disasters under modern conditions and improve our ability to prevent and mitigate them.2.Strengthening agriculture as the foundation of the economy, promoting development of agriculture and increasing farmer incomes.We will do everything possible to ensure a good harvest this year and work to increase farmer incomes and build a new socialist countryside.We will concentrate on the following three areas:

First, we will vigorously develop grain production and ensure the supply of agricultural products.Grain security has an overall bearing on economic and social development and affects the vital interests of the people, so we must always pay close attention to grain production.We must effectively keep the area sown to grain crops stable and increase the yield per unit area.We will increase support for major grain-producing areas and grain farmers, carry out the grain strategy project and speed up efforts to establish core grain-producing areas to enhance the overall grain production capacity and become more able to ensure adequate supplies.While working to increase agricultural output, we also need to improve the structure of grain varieties grown and promote a constant increase in the production of important agricultural products.We will conscientiously implement policies and measures to boost pig production, dairy farming and oilseed production.We will energetically develop animal husbandry and aquaculture and support and promote their large-scale development as well as healthy farming practices.We will promote standardization of agricultural production to improve the quality and safety of agricultural products.Second, we will intensify development of the agricultural infrastructure.We will speed up efforts to reinforce large and medium-sized reservoirs and dilapidated key small reservoirs.We will improve irrigated areas, build small water conservancy facilities and work hard to develop water-efficient irrigation.We will increase efforts to develop, improve and reclaim land, upgrade low-and medium-yield farmland, improve the productivity of farmland and develop farm plots that meet high standards.We will step up rural infrastructure development in drinking water supplies, roads, power grids, telecommunications and cultural facilities, vigorously develop rural public transportation systems and improve the rural living environment.We will provide safe drinking water for another 32 million rural residents and support the building of a number of large and medium-sized methane facilities to serve an additional five million rural families.Third, we will develop more channels to increase rural incomes.We will accelerate the development of high-yield, high-quality, high-efficiency, eco-friendly and safe agriculture and support the development of industrialized agricultural operations and pacesetting enterprises.We will increase efforts to build a modern marketing and retail distribution network for rural areas, strengthen and upgrade rural secondary and tertiary industries, develop township and village enterprises and strengthen county economies.We will step up vocational education and technical training in rural areas to make it easier for rural residents to find nonagricultural employment, and develop the labor economy.We will intensify poverty alleviation efforts through development and continue to reduce the number of poor people.The major measures we are going to take are as follows:

First, we will greatly increase funding.This year's increases in budgetary support for agriculture, rural areas and farmers, state fixed asset investment in the countryside and the proportion of government land transfer income used for rural development will all be considerably higher than last year's increases.We will adjust the way tax revenues from the use of farmland for nonagricultural purposes are used and reform methods for using urban construction and maintenance tax receipts to increase funding for rural development.Allocations from this year's central government budget related to agriculture, rural areas and farmers total 562.5 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 130.7 billion yuan.Second, we will strengthen agricultural support policies.We will increase direct subsidies for grain producers and general direct subsidies for purchasing agricultural supplies.We will expand both the size and scope of subsidies for using superior seed varieties.We will subsidize the purchase of more kinds of agricultural machinery and tools and raise such subsidies.Starting this year, eligibility for these subsidies will be expanded to all agricultural counties.We will raise the minimum grain purchase prices based on actual conditions.Third, we will adhere to the strictest possible system for protecting farmland, and in particular we will increase protection of basic farmland.We will carefully examine and adjust the amounts and standards for land use in all types of plans in accordance with the master plan for land use, strictly follow the system for controlling land use, rigorously manage rural land used for collective and private construction projects in accordance with the law, and resolutely put a stop to illegal appropriation of arable land and forested areas.Fourth, we will improve the system for spreading agricultural science and technology and providing agricultural technical services.We will work harder to make innovations in agricultural science and technology and apply advances in agricultural science and technology, and improve the diverse array of mainly nonprofit agricultural technical services.We will accelerate agricultural mechanization.We will improve the systems for superior seed varieties, information, and the quality and safety of agricultural products, and for preventing and mitigating disasters, and do a good job preventing and controlling animal epidemics, plant diseases and insect pests.We will expand trial soil testing to determine appropriate fertilizer formulas.Fifth, we will carry out rural reform in all areas.We will accelerate overall rural reform.We will adopt effective measures to actively yet prudently reduce the debts of townships and villages.The central and local governments will increase budgetary funding to basically clear up overdue debts for rural compulsory education in about three years.We will adhere to the basic system for rural operations and stabilize and improve land contract relationships.We will improve the market for the compensated, voluntary transfer of land contract and management rights in accordance with the law and allow diverse forms of farming operations to develop to an appropriate scale where conditions permit.We will work hard to develop specialized farmer cooperatives.We will carry out comprehensive reform of the system of collective forest rights.3.Promoting economic adjustment and changing the pattern of development.We will continue to boost domestic demand, adjust the balance of investment and consumption, and promote the shift from the pattern of economic growth that relies mainly on investment and exports to one that relies on a balanced combination of consumption, investment and exports.It is essential to appropriately control the scale of fixed asset investment and improve the investment structure.We will maintain strict control over the availability of land, credit and market access, and pay particular attention to strengthening and standardizing supervision of new projects to ensure they meet all the conditions for launching.Haphazard investment and unneeded development projects in energy intensive and highly polluting industries and industries with excess production capacity will be resolutely stopped, and market access will be tightened and capital requirements will be increased for industries whose development is discouraged.Work on illegal projects will be resolutely stopped.We will increase support for weak links and key areas in economic and social development and give more support to the central and western regions.We must tighten control over the amount of land used for development projects, especially for industrial purposes, and hold the total amount of land used this year to last year's level.We must respond to new conditions and situations by improving guidance, regulation and oversight for all types of investment activities in the country.We will continue to promote independent innovation as the central link in efforts to change the pattern of development.We need to diligently implement the Outline of the National Program for Long-and Medium-Term Scientific and Technological Development and fully launch and implement key national projects, including those to develop large aircraft, control pollution in bodies of water, and develop large-scale oil and gas fields and coal seam gas operations.We will carry out plans for basic research, high-tech research, and research to provide scientific and technological support for development.We will work to make major breakthroughs in key technologies for producing vehicles powered by new energy sources, developing high-speed railway transport and saving water in industries.We will promote development of the national innovation system, focusing on building a number of national laboratories, national engineering centers, platforms to support enterprise innovation and enterprise technology centers to strengthen China's science and technology infrastructure.We will deepen reform of the management system for science and technology and coordinate and improve resource distribution.The central government will spend 113.4 billion yuan on science and technology in 2008, a year-on-year increase of 13.4 billion yuan.We will improve and implement the policy to support independent innovation, get enterprises to fully play their role as the main parties responsible for technological innovation, and encourage and guide them to increase investment in R&D.We will integrate the efforts of enterprises, universities and research institutes and develop innovative enterprises.Government procurement of products produced through independent innovation will be increased.Trials in the use of venture capital will be expanded.We will implement the intellectual property rights strategy.We will expand scientific and technological cooperation with other countries.We will promote improvement and upgrading of the industrial structure.We will keep to the new path of industrialization with Chinese characteristics and promote integration of IT application with industrialization.We will work to develop new-and high-technology industries, reinvigorate the equipment manufacturing industry, upgrade traditional industries and accelerate the development of service industries, particularly modern services.We will continue the major projects to apply high technologies in the production of new-type displays, broadband communications and network equipment, and biomedicine.We will get national new and high technology development zones to fully play their role in pooling resources, guiding development and boosting development in surrounding areas.We will promote domestic R&D and production of important equipment and key spare parts and components, with the focus on key areas such as large clean and highly efficient power generating units, high-grade digital machine tools and basic manufacturing equipment.We will give higher priority to geological work to improve prospecting for and exploitation of natural resources.We will strongly develop the modern energy and raw materials industries and better integrate the transportation system.We will promote balanced development among regions.We will extensively promote the large-scale development of the western region, and launch a number of key projects and support the development of key areas on a priority basis.We will continue to protect natural forests, prevent and control desertification, and reverse and prevent the development of stony deserts, and will implement a follow-up policy to consolidate progress made in converting retired farmland to forests.We will implement the plan to reinvigorate northeast China, and support the development of advanced equipment manufacturing and modern agriculture and the economic transformation of areas depending on resources that are now exhausted.We will formulate and implement a plan to boost development of the central region and implement and improve relevant policies.We will encourage the eastern region to lead the country in development and improve its international competitiveness.We will give more support to old revolutionary areas, ethnic minority areas, border areas and poor areas to help them develop.We will adopt and implement a plan and policy for development priority zones.4.Increasing efforts to conserve energy, reduce emissions and protect the environment, and ensuring product quality and safety.This year is crucial for meeting the obligatory targets for energy conservation and emissions reduction set forth in the Eleventh Five-Year Plan, and we must increase our sense of urgency and intensify efforts to make greater progress.First, we will implement the plan to close down backward production facilities in the electricity, steel, cement, coal and papermaking industries.We will also put in place a mechanism for closing down these facilities and improve and implement support policies and measures for shutting down enterprises.In addition, we will step up efforts to develop advanced production facilities in these industries in accordance with the plan.Second, we will focus on energy conservation in key enterprises and construction of key projects.We need to accelerate work on the ten major energy conservation projects.We will increase the urban sewage treatment capacity and strive to reach the goal of 100% collection and treatment of sewage in 36 large cities within two years.Charges for discharging wastewater and for sewage treatment and garbage disposal will be appropriately raised.Building standards will be upgraded and strictly enforced to encourage the development of better wall materials and construction of energy-efficient buildings.We will make steady progress in reforming the urban heating system and public utilities.Third, we will develop and apply advanced and appropriate technologies to save, replace and reuse resources and control pollution, and carry out projects to develop and demonstrate major energy conservation and emissions reduction technologies.We will energetically develop the energy conservation service industry and the environmental protection industry.We will develop clean and renewable energy sources such as wind power and solar energy.Fourth, we will prevent and control pollution in key river valleys and regions, including the Huai, Hai, Liao and Songhua rivers, Tai, Chao and Dianchi lakes, the sources and routes of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project, and the Three Gorges Reservoir area.We will implement the master plan for protecting the environment of the Bohai Sea.National standards will have stricter limits for discharge of pollutants in key river valleys.Fifth, we will intensify protection of rural drinking water sources, and work to control sewage and garbage pollution and industrial pollution in rural areas.We will also strengthen control of pollution from livestock and poultry farming and aquaculture as well as agricultural nonpoint source pollution.Sixth, we will encourage and support the development of a circular economy and promote recycling and reuse of renewable resources.We will also promote cleaner production in all industries.Seventh, we will strengthen efforts to protect, conserve and intensively use natural resources, including land, water, grasslands, forests and minerals, and take stern measures to combat illegal mining of mineral resources.We will effectively protect marine resources, use them wisely, and develop the marine economy.We will intensify China's basic research efforts in meteorology, earthquake science, and surveying and mapping to strengthen these areas.Eighth, we will implement the national plan to respond to climate change to strengthen China's ability to respond to climate change.Ninth, we will improve the mechanism for rewarding those who conserve energy and resources and protect the environment and punishing those who waste energy and resources and harm the environment.We will also employ statistical and monitoring systems for conserving energy and reducing emissions, and improve the auditing and supervision systems, increase law enforcement efforts, and tighten the accountability system for energy conservation and emissions reduction.Tenth, we will enhance public awareness of the importance of a culture of conservation and encourage the entire nation to participate in building a resource-conserving and environmentally friendly society.Resource conservation and environmental protection must continue from generation to generation to make our mountains greener, waters cleaner and skies bluer.We will intensify efforts to ensure product quality and safety.First, we will accelerate efforts to formulate or update national standards for product quality and safety.This year, we will complete the formulation or updating of more than 7,700 national standards for the safety of food products, drugs and other consumer goods to put in place a sound system of standards for product safety.All requirements and testing methods for the safety and quality of food and other consumer goods will comply with international standards.China's exports will meet both international standards and the laws and regulations on technical standards of the importing countries.Second, we will improve legal guarantees for product quality and safety.We need to promptly enact or revise laws and regulations pertaining to product quality and safety, and improve the mechanism for effectively coordinating administrative law enforcement and criminal justice to increase punishment for enterprises that violate such laws and regulations.Third, we will improve the oversight and control systems for product quality and safety.We will follow to the letter the regulations for issuing production permits and mandatory certificates and for registration and record keeping to strictly control market access.We will raise the requirements for production permits and tighten market access for products related to people's health and safety.We need to strengthen quality and safety oversight for essential products such as food and drugs, and strictly control the quality of exports and imports.We will diligently follow the accountability system for product quality and safety.It is imperative that the people feel confident about the safety of food and other consumer goods and that our exports have a good reputation.5.Deepening economic reform and opening wider to the outside world.It has been 30 years since China introduced the reform and opening up policy, which has brought about great historic changes to the country.However, China is still in the primary stage of socialism and will remain so for a long time to come.To further promote unfettered development of the productive forces, promote greater social fairness and justice, and attain the magnificent goals of building a moderately prosperous society in all respects and modernizing China, we must continue to unswervingly implement the reform and opening up policy.We will concentrate on the following areas this year.We will advance the reform of SOEs and improve their ownership structure.We will continue to adjust state-owned assets and reorganize SOEs.We need to deepen the reform to convert SOEs into stockholding corporations.We will improve corporate governance, carry out policy-mandated closures and bankruptcies, separate SOEs' secondary businesses from their core businesses, and convert the former into independent companies.We will expand the experiment of setting up a budget system for managing state capital.We will deepen the reform of monopoly industries by introducing competition and strengthening government regulation and public oversight of them.We need to strictly standardize procedures for transforming SOEs into stock companies and for transferring ownership of state-owned assets to prevent their erosion.We will protect the legitimate rights and interests of workers.We will advance the reform of collectively owned enterprises and develop diverse forms of collective and cooperative economic operations.We will conscientiously implement the policies for encouraging, supporting and guiding the development of individual-proprietorship businesses and private companies in the nonpublic sector of the economy.In particular, we will help them solve problems related to market access and financial support.We will deepen reform of the fiscal and taxation systems and accelerate improvement in the public finance system.We will reform the budget system and tighten budgetary management and oversight.We need to improve and standardize the system of transfer payments, raise the volume and proportion of general transfer payments and increase spending on public services.We will energetically push ahead with the reform of fiscal systems at and below the provincial level.The new Law on Corporate Income Tax will be comprehensively enforced.We will reform the system of resource taxes and fees, and improve the compensation systems for use of resources and for damage caused to the ecosystem.We will carry forward the trial VAT reform and formulate a plan to carry out the reform nationwide.We will speed up reform of the financial system and strengthen financial oversight.We will continue deepening reform of the banking industry, focusing on the introduction of a shareholding system in the Agriculture Bank of China and the reform of the China Development Bank.A deposit insurance system will be set up.We will accelerate rural financial reform and strengthen the role of the Agriculture Bank of China, the Agricultural Development Bank of China and the China Postal Savings Bank in serving agriculture, rural areas and farmers.We will continue to deepen the reform of rural credit cooperatives and actively promote the development of new types of financial institutions in rural areas.We will improve the structure of the capital market, promote steady and sound development of the stock markets, strive to improve the performance of listed companies, and maintain an open, fair and equitable market environment.We will establish a market for growth enterprises, accelerate development of the bond market and steadily develop the futures market.We will deepen reform of the insurance industry, vigorously extend the scope of agricultural insurance, and successfully carry out trials of policy-supported agricultural insurance.We will take stern measures to combat violations of financial laws and regulations and guard against and defuse financial risks to maintain financial stability and security.We will expand the breadth and depth of China's openness and make its economy more open.We will accelerate change in the pattern of foreign trade growth, improve the mix of exports, encourage the export of products with Chinese intellectual property rights and trademarks, and raise the quality, grade and added value of exports while maintaining steady export growth.We need to increase export of services and encourage foreign businesses to outsource services to China.We will energetically increase imports, with the focus on advanced technology and equipment, important raw materials, and key spare parts and components.We will improve the mix of industries using foreign investment and their geographic distribution, and steadily make service industries more open.We will limit or ban foreign investment in projects that are energy intensive or highly polluting, limit or ban foreign investment in some areas of resource exploitation, and correct illegal practices for attracting foreign investment.We will make innovations in the way we make investments and engage in cooperation overseas, and improve and implement policies and measures to support Chinese enterprises wishing to “go global.” We will strengthen bilateral, multilateral and regional economic cooperation.We will continue to promote talks on free trade zones and honor the treaties we have signed.We are committed to an equitable international trade order.In carrying out reform and opening up, we will accelerate the development of a modern market system, energetically develop modern logistics, intensify efforts to ensure orderly markets and promote the development of a credit system for individuals.6.Paying closer attention to social development to ensure the wellbeing of the people and improve their lives.We will continue to give priority to developing education.First, we will make free compulsory education universally available in both urban and rural areas.We will continue increasing regular expenditures for rural compulsory education and raise the level of budgetary allocations.We will appropriately increase living allowances for poor rural students residing on campus.We will take steps to ensure that children from poor families and children of rural migrant workers in cities enjoy the same access to compulsory education as others.After running trials in selected areas, we will completely stop collecting tuition and miscellaneous fees from all urban students receiving compulsory education starting this fall.This is another major measure for promoting balanced development of compulsory education and equal access to education.Second, we must vigorously develop vocational education.We will strengthen the basic conditions for vocational education and deepen reform of the systems for administering, running and investing in vocational education programs in order to turn out high-quality skilled personnel.Third, we must raise the quality of higher education.We will improve the structure of academic disciplines and develop high-quality universities and key disciplines.Regular institutions of higher learning will continue to favor students in the central and western regions in expanding their enrollments.To successfully provide education of various kinds and at different levels, we must focus on the following three tasks.One, we must ensure that all students receive a well-rounded education, and promote educational reforms and innovations.We will deepen the reform of curricula, methods of instruction, the systems of examination and enrollment, and the system for evaluating educational quality, and lighten the study load of primary and secondary school students.Two, we must improve the quality of teachers, especially in rural areas, and improve and implement the system of wages, allowances and subsidies for teachers.Three, we must increase investment in education.This year, central government allocation for education will increase from last year's total of 107.6 billion yuan to 156.2 billion yuan, and local governments will also increase their spending.We will further standardize the collection of education-related fees.We will standardize nonpublic education programs and encourage their development.China cannot modernize if education is not made universally available and if its quality is not improved.We must ensure that our children receive a good education, provide education that satisfies the needs of the people and improve the overall quality of the population.We will promote the reform and development of health care.Efforts will be focused on four areas:

First, we will accelerate the establishment of a system to ensure access to medical care for both urban and rural residents.We will expand the number of urban workers covered by basic medical insurance, and extend the trial of basic medical insurance for urban residents to over 50% of China's cities.We will fully implement the new type of rural cooperative medical care system in all rural areas.Within two years, we will raise the standard for financing from 50 yuan to 100 yuan per person per year, with central and local government contributions to be raised from 40 yuan to 80 yuan per person.We will improve the urban and rural assistance program for medical care.Second, we will improve the public health service system.We will prevent and treat major diseases, implement policies and measures to increase the number of diseases covered in the state plan for immunization against communicable diseases, and provide free treatment for more people suffering from diseases such as AIDS, tuberculosis and schistosomiasis.We need to work harder to prevent and treat endemic, occupational and mental diseases.We must do a good job in work related to the health of women and children.We will implement a policy of granting allowances to rural women in the central and western regions giving birth in hospitals.We will improve the mechanism for ensuring adequate funding for public health services.Third, we will continue development of the medical service systems for urban and rural areas.We will focus on improving the county, township, village three-tier rural health service network and the urban community-based medical and health service system.We will train more general practitioners, nurses and rural doctors and encourage high-caliber health workers to work in village and community clinics.Trial reform of public hospitals will be carried out.Measures will be formulated and implemented to support the development of traditional Chinese medicine and the folk medicines of ethnic minorities.Fourth, we will set up a national system for basic drugs and a system for ensuring drug supply to ensure the quality and adequate supply of basic drugs and hold down prices.This year the central government will allocate 83.2 billion yuan to support the reform and development of health care, an increase of 16.7 billion yuan over last year, with the focus of spending on facilities at the urban community and village level.Last year the State Council commissioned a study of the issue of how to deepen reform of the system of pharmaceuticals and health care.A preliminary plan has been produced and will soon be publicized to solicit opinions from the general public.The basic goal of the reform is to maintain the public service nature of public medical and health care services and set up a basic medical and health care system to provide people with basic medical and health care services that are safe, effective, convenient and affordable.We must resolutely carry out this reform to provide everyone with access to basic medical and health services and improve their health.We will improve work related to population and family planning.We will adhere to the current policy of family planning, keep the birthrate low, improve the health of newborns and adopt a full range of measures to address the gender imbalance in babies.We will fully implement the special assistance system for families that comply with family planning regulations, extend the coverage of the reward system for rural families that comply with the regulations, implement the “lower birthrate equals faster prosperity” project in more areas, and raise the level of rewards and assistance.We will improve services for the floating population and tighten supervision of them to ensure that they comply

employment practices.Providing adequate employment opportunities in China, which has the largest population in the world, is a daunting challenge.We must redouble our efforts to increase employment, a matter that is crucial to people's wellbeing.We will increase urban and rural incomes.The key is to adjust the distribution of the national income, deepen reform of the income distribution system, gradually raise the proportion of the national income received by individuals and raise labor's of the primary distribution of income.First, we will increase rural incomes through a variety of channels, ensure that rural migrant workers in cities get paid in full and on time, and appropriately increase allowances for the poor population.Second, we will raise the wage scale for enterprise employees and create a mechanism to ensure they get regular wage increases and ensure that they are paid regularly.We will urge enterprises to establish a system for collective bargaining for wages, improve the system of wage guidelines, and improve and comply with the minimum wage system.We will reform the method of supervising SOE payroll and strengthen oversight of wages paid by enterprises in monopoly industries.Third, we will raise the level of basic old-age benefits for retirees from enterprises every year for three years beginning January 1 this year.Fourth, we will deepen reform of the salary system for civil servants and continue efforts to standardize their subsidies and allowances.We will accelerate reform of the income distribution system in government-affiliated institutions.Fifth, we will institute a system of annual paid vacations for employees.In addition, we will further improve consumption policies, broaden the range of services available in the market, stabilize consumer expectations and increase immediate consumption.Only by appropriately spreading the fruits of economic development among the people can we win their support and maintain social harmony and stability.We will improve the social safety net.We will follow a policy of expanding the number of people covered, guaranteeing people's basic needs and pursuing multi-level and sustainable development of the system.First, we will expand the number of people covered by the social security system and improve collection of contributions to insurance funds.The focus of efforts

out experiments with a rural old-age insurance system.We will accelerate improvement in unemployment insurance, workers' compensation and maternity insurance.Third, we will finance social security

year in the central government budget to accelerate development of the social security system, 45.8 billion yuan more than last year.Establishing a sound social safety net for both urban and rural residents to ward off uncertainties for them has a direct impact on economic and social development and is a major task in the effort to build a moderately prosperous society in all respects.We will promptly establish a system for ensuring housing for people.The general guiding principles for this work are as follows.1)Taking into consideration the fact that China has a large population and relatively little land available for building housing, we need to foster a scientific and rational model for housing development and home ownership.We will vigorously work to build environmentally friendly buildings that conserve energy and land, increase the supply of small and medium-sized condominiums, and guide people to obtain housing they can afford.2)We must ensure that the government and the market both play their due roles.The government's role is mainly to formulate plans and policies for housing and ensure that there is an appropriate supply of land, ensure that land is used intensively and oversee land use.Priority will be given to development of housing for low-and middle-income families.Demand for housing among high-income families will be met largely through the market.3)We need to strengthen regulation and oversight of the real estate market, standardize and maintain order in the market and promote sustained, steady and healthy development of the real estate industry.The following four measures will be adopted this year:

First, we will improve the system of low-rent housing, accelerate construction of low-rent housing, expand the supply of housing, and step up construction and tighten management of affordable housing to ease the housing difficulties of low-income urban residents.A total of 6.8 billion yuan will be allocated from the central government budget for the low-rent housing program this year, 1.7 billion yuan more than last year, and local governments will also increase funding in this area.In addition, we will work energetically to improve the living conditions of rural migrant workers in cities.Second, we will increase the supply of low-and medium-price, small and medium-sized condominiums, establish a mechanism for making investments and raising funds in various ways, and help middle-income families meet their housing needs through a variety of channels.We will improve the supply structure of urban land to provide more land for building small and medium-sized condominiums.Third, we will use a combination of tax, credit and land supply measures and improve the housing accumulation fund system to increase supply of reasonably priced housing, curb demand for high-end housing and prevent overheating in housing prices.Fourth, we will strengthen market oversight and strictly enforce the requirements for market access and the conditions for going out of business for real estate firms.We will investigate attempts to control the land and housing market through hoarding and speculation in land and housing and deal with violations in accordance with the law.In addition, we will improve planning and management of rural housing development and the safety of housing for the rural poor.We must unswervingly promote reform of the housing system and construction of housing for the benefit of the people.7.Deepening the reform of the cultural management system and promoting the vigorous development and enrichment of culture.We will further implement and improve the policies and measures to reform the cultural management system, promote cultural innovation, strengthen cultural improvement work, safeguard the basic cultural rights and interests of the people, and promote a flourishing cultural market to meet the people's ever-increasing and varied cultural needs.We will continue to educate the people in the latest advances in adapting Marxism to Chinese conditions, foster a common ideal of socialism with Chinese characteristics among the people, strongly promote a national spirit centered on patriotism and a spirit of the

excellent cultural works.We will increase government funding to accelerate development of a system of public cultural services for the whole society and to promote development of basic public benefit cultural programs, particularly the building of more cultural facilities in urban communities and villages.We will accelerate development of multipurpose community centers in towns and townships.We

rural areas.All public museums, memorial halls and exhibition centers of a nonprofit nature will stop charging admission fees this year or next year.We will improve the policy for developing the culture sector and speed up development of bases for the culture industry and clusters of cultural industries with regional features.We will strengthen efforts to develop and manage Internet culture.We will ensure order in the cultural market and continue to combat pornography and illegal publications.We will strengthen protection of our national cultural heritage.We will expand cultural exchanges with other countries.We will step up development of public sports facilities in both urban and rural areas, launch extensive public fitness programs and raise the level of competitive sports.The 2008 Olympics and Paralympics will be held in Beijing.All sons and daughters of the Chinese nation are looking forward to them, and they will be of great importance in promoting China's economic and social development and increasing friendship and cooperation between Chinese people and the peoples of other countries.We will prepare for and organize the Games well, strengthen cooperation with the international community, and create an excellent environment to ensure that the Games are a unique, well-run sporting event.8.Stepping up development of socialist democracy and the socialist legal system and promoting social fairness and justice.We will deepen reform of political institutions and advance socialist political standards.We will expand people's democracy, improve democratic institutions, diversify its forms and expand its channels, and we will carry out democratic elections, decision-making, administration and oversight in accordance with the law to ensure the people's rights to stay informed about, to participate in, to express views on, and to oversee government affairs.We will develop democracy at the community level, improve the system of governance by the people at the community level, expand the scope of their autonomy, strengthen urban and rural communities, and make the running of governments, villages and factories more transparent.We will bring into play the positive role of civic organizations in expanding public participation in government affairs and voicing the concerns of the people to improve the ability of society to govern itself.We will fully adhere to the rule of law as a fundamental principle.We will step up the drafting of proposed legislation by the government and improve the quality of such legislation.The drafting of such legislation this year will focus on improving people's lives, promoting social development, conserving energy and resources, and protecting the ecosystem.In the course of doing so, we need to seek views from many sources.In principle, we will release drafts to the public to solicit their opinions when formulating all administrative rules and regulations that bear on the interests of the people.We will appropriately delineate and adjust the powers and duties of administrative law enforcement agencies, and strengthen oversight and fully implement the responsibility system for administrative law enforcement.We will improve the system of government administration in accordance with the law at the municipal and county levels.We will ensure that administrative charges are collected in a standardized way and reform and improve the mechanism for ensuring adequate funding for the judicial system and for law enforcement.We will improve the filing and inspection procedures for laws, rules, regulations and regulatory documents.Systems of administrative review and administrative compensation and reparation will be improved.We will ensure that people have adequate access to legal services and assistance.We will increase publicity and education concerning the law in order to create a good social environment in which the people conscientiously study, abide by and apply the law.We will improve public administration.We will increase efforts to improve civic organizations and improve the system of public administration at the community level.We will do a good job handling complaints in the form of letters and visits from the public and improve the system for handling complaints.We will improve the mechanism for mediating social tensions and

through a full range of measures and launch intensive campaigns to ensure public security.We will reform and intensify community policing in both urban and rural areas and improve services for and

crime and illegal activities in accordance with the law to protect people's lives and property and ensure social stability.We will redouble our efforts to safeguard national security.We will strengthen efforts to ensure workplace safety.We will work harder to prevent serious and major accidents by addressing their root causes.We will consolidate and build upon progress in bringing coalmine gas buildup under control, improve coalmine safety and shut down coalmines that do not meet safety standards.We will continue to carry out campaigns to address safety problems in key industries and areas.We will work harder to identify and eliminate hidden perils, and improve the system for controlling major hazards and monitoring major sources of danger and the system for forecasting, giving early warning, preventing, responding to and mitigating disasters.We will tighten oversight for workplace safety in accordance with the law and rigorously investigate industrial accidents and prosecute those responsible for them.9.Accelerating reform of the administrative system and intensifying government self-improvement.Reform of the administrative system is an important link in deepening reform, an important part of the reform of political institutions, and an essential step in improving the socialist market economy.In reforming the administrative system, we should adhere to the following general principles and requirements: We must put people first and govern for the people.We should see to it that this reform proceeds in line with development of socialist democracy and the socialist market economy.Decisions must be made scientifically and democratically;the government must be run in accordance with the law, and administrative oversight needs to be strengthened.We need to make innovations in management and institutions and make full use of the initiative of both the central government and local governments.Efforts should be focused on changing functions, straightening out inter-departmental relationships, improving the structure and raising efficiency in order to develop an administrative system in which powers are commensurate with responsibilities, the division of work among departments is appropriate, decisions are scientific, enforcement is carried out smoothly and oversight is effective.First, we must accelerate the transformation of government functions.This is central to deepening reform of the administrative system.We need to improve the division of responsibilities among government departments, ensure that all departments properly execute their functions and strive to build a service-oriented government.While improving regulation of the economy and the market, we must increase efforts to improve public administration and public services, safeguard social justice and order, and ensure equal access for all to basic public services.We will attach great importance to the role of civil organizations such as industrial associations and chambers of commerce in this area.Second, we must deepen reform of government bodies.Our current plan for the reform of bodies of the State Council mainly centers on changing the way the government functions, appropriately dividing responsibilities among departments that exercise macroeconomic regulation, adjusting and improving bodies in charge of industrial management, and improving departments responsible for public administration and public services.The plan explores ways to establish larger departments that organically integrate the functions of smaller departments.To resolve the problem of overlapping responsibilities and of powers not being matched by responsibilities, the plan clearly defines the responsibilities and powers of each department, clarifies the relationship of responsibilities among departments, and improves the mechanism for interdepartmental coordination and cooperation.The plan will be submitted to you for deliberation and approval.Third, we must improve the mechanism of administrative oversight.We need to use institutions to oversee the exercise of power, the handling of government affairs and the management of personnel.We will strengthen oversight of the exercise of administrative power and standardize procedures for administrative approval.We will strengthen the mutual oversight between higher-and lower-level authorities, get oversight bodies such as supervision and auditing departments to fully play their role, and conscientiously accept oversight by all sectors of society.We will adhere to the administrative accountability system and government performance management system.The competence of public servants will be strengthened.We will strictly enforce the law and the code of conduct for government employees and resolutely put a stop to non-compliance with government decrees and continued occurrences of banned practices.We will strive to make government affairs more open by enhancing the government information release system and improving the various types of administrative systems for transparency in government affairs to increase the transparency of government functions and create conditions to enable the people to oversee the government more effectively.Fourth, we will strengthen efforts to ensure clean government.We will attach even greater importance to combating corruption and encouraging integrity, and fight corruption unequivocally.We will effectively improve the system for preventing and punishing corruption in accordance with the principle of addressing both the symptoms and root causes of corruption and taking a dual approach that combines prevention and punishment, with the emphasis on prevention.In particular, we need to tackle the problems of excessive concentration of power and lack of checks on power.We will address fundamentals to improve regulations and institutions and standardize management of public resources such as transfer payments, development of land and mineral resources, government procurement and the transfer of state-owned assets.We will strengthen special campaigns to address people's pressing concerns related to problems concerning environmental protection, food and drug safety, workplace safety, land acquisition and expropriation, and housing demolition, to resolutely stop irregular practices that hurt public interests.We will strongly advocate hard work and plain living and firmly oppose extravagance and waste.We will prosecute all violations of the law and discipline, strictly curb bribery in business, resolutely bring corrupt people to justice and prosecute them to the full extent of the law.Fellow Deputies，China is a unified, multiethnic country.We must promote unity among all ethnic groups and make a concerted effort to achieve prosperity and development for all.We will follow and improve the system of regional ethnic autonomy, promote economic and social development of ethnic minorities and ethnic minority areas, and consolidate and develop socialist ethnic relations of equality, unity, mutual assistance and harmony.We will faithfully follow the Party's basic principles on work related to religions, adhere to the Regulations on Religious Affairs, and enable religious figures and religious believers to play a positive role in advancing economic and social development.We need to do a good job handling affairs related to overseas Chinese nationals in the new era and make full use of the role of overseas Chinese nationals, returned overseas Chinese nationals and their relatives in China's modernization and the great cause of peaceful reunification of the motherland.Improving national defense and the military is a strategic task in developing socialism with Chinese characteristics.We must balance economic development and national defense development to make China prosperous and the armed forces strong as we carry out modernization.We must always follow the guidance of Mao Zedong's military thinking, Deng Xiaoping's thinking on building the army in the new period and Jiang Zemin's thinking on strengthening the national defense and the army, truly implement the important guidelines of Comrade Hu Jintao on national defense and the army under the new circumstances, and take the Scientific Outlook on Development as an important guiding principle for developing national defense and the army.Our aim is to enable the army to fully carry out its historic mission in the new stage in the new century, enhance its ability to respond to security threats and accomplish a diverse array of military tasks, staunchly protect China's sovereignty, security and territorial integrity, and provide strong support for building a moderately prosperous society in all respects.We will strengthen efforts to improve the People's Armed Police Force to improve its ability to enforce the law, respond to emergencies, combat terrorism and safeguard stability.We will intensify national defense education to raise public awareness of the importance of national defense.We will improve the national defense mobilization system.We will strengthen unity between the military and the government and between the military and the people.We will continue to unswervingly adhere to the principle of “one country, two systems,” under which Hong Kong people administer Hong Kong and Macao people administer Macao with a high degree of autonomy, and act in strict accordance with the basic laws of the two special administrative regions.We will give full support to the governments of the Hong Kong and Macao special administrative regions in administering their regions in accordance with the law, and increase exchange and cooperation between the mainland and the two special administrative regions in economic and trade affairs, environmental protection, science and technology, education, culture, health and sports.We firmly believe that our compatriots in Hong Kong and Macao will be able to do even better in administering and developing their respective regions.We will adhere to the basic principle of “peaceful reunification and one country, two systems” and follow all policies for developing relations between the two sides of the Taiwan Straits and promoting China's peaceful reunification under the current circumstances.We will pursue the goal of promoting peaceful development of cross-Straits relations, encourage compatriots on both sides to increase contacts and common understanding, actively promote cross-Straits economic and cultural exchanges, and work for the resumption of direct links of mail, transport and trade.We will implement and improve the policies and measures designed to benefit our compatriots in Taiwan and support economic development on the west coast of the Straits in Fujian Province and in other areas where Taiwan investment is concentrated.We will work for the early resumption of cross-Straits negotiations on the basis of the one-China principle to address major issues of concern to compatriots on both sides.We firmly oppose Taiwan independence secessionist activities, and will never allow anyone to separate Taiwan from the motherland in any guise or by any means.Any issue that concerns China's sovereignty and territorial integrity must be decided by all the Chinese people, including our Taiwan compatriots.The attempts of Taiwan independence secessionist forces to deny the reality that the mainland and Taiwan belong to one and the same China and to undermine peace in the Taiwan Straits are doomed to fail.Reunification of the two sides is inevitable in the course of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.With the concerted efforts of all Chinese people at home and overseas, the great cause of China's reunification will surely be achieved!

In the coming year, we must continue to hold high the banner of peace, development and cooperation, follow an independent foreign policy of peace and a path of peaceful development, and adhere to the win-win strategy of opening up to promote the building of a harmonious world with durable peace and common prosperity.We will work hard to develop relations with developed countries, deepen good-neighborly relations and friendship with all neighboring countries, and redouble efforts to increase unity and cooperation with other developing countries.We will actively participate in multilateral diplomacy, work to find appropriate solutions to major hotspots and global issues, and safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese nationals and companies overseas.The Chinese government and people are ready to share development opportunities with people of all other countries and to work with them to address risks and challenges and advance the noble cause of the peace and development of humanity.Fellow Deputies，Looking back, we are encouraged by the achievements of the past five years.Looking ahead, we see an exciting future for China.Our great motherland has embarked upon a new historical course and the future holds even brighter prospects.Under the leadership of the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Hu Jintao as General Secretary, let us hold high the great banner of socialism with Chinese characteristics, follow the guidance of Deng Xiaoping Theory and the important thought of Three Represents, and comprehensively apply the Scientific Outlook on Development.Let us free our minds, carry out reform and innovation, and work diligently for greater achievements in the building of a moderately prosperous society in all respects!
