一、過去五年工作回顧
Review of our work over the past five years

第十二屆全國人民代表大會第一次會議以來的五年，是我國發展進程中極不平凡的五年。面對極其錯綜復雜的國內外形勢，以習近平同志為核心的黨中央團結帶領全國各族人民砥礪前行，統籌推進“五位一體”總體布局，協調推進“四個全面”戰略布局，改革開放和社會主義現代化建設全面開創新局面。黨的十九大確立了習近平新時代中國特色社會主義思想的歷史地位，制定了決勝全面建成小康社會、奪取新時代中國特色社會主義偉大勝利的宏偉藍圖和行動綱領，具有重大現實意義和深遠歷史意義。各地區各部門不斷增強政治意識、大局意識、核心意識、看齊意識，深入貫徹落實新發展理念，“十二五”規劃勝利完成，“十三五”規劃順利實施，經濟社會發展取得歷史性成就、發生歷史性變革。
The five years since the first session of the 12th National People’s Congress (NPC) have been a truly remarkable five years in the course of our country’s development. Facing an extremely complex environment both at home and abroad, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core, has rallied and led the Chinese people of all ethnic groups to forge ahead. We have moved forward in a coordinated manner with the five-sphere integrated plan and the four-pronged comprehensive strategy, and made new advances on all fronts of reform, opening up, and socialist modernization. At its 19th National Congress, the Party established the position in history of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, and mapped out an inspiring blueprint and a program of action for securing a decisive victory in building a moderately prosperous society in all respects and for striving for the success of socialism with Chinese characteristics for a new era. This is of great immediate significance and far-reaching historical significance. All regions and all government departments have strengthened their consciousness of the need to maintain political integrity, think in big-picture terms, follow the leadership core, and keep in alignment. The new development philosophy has been thoroughly acted upon, the 12th Five-Year Plan has been successfully completed, and implementation of the 13th Five-Year Plan has seen smooth progress. In economic and social development we have made historic achievements and seen historic change.

五年來，經濟實力躍上新臺階。國內生產總值從54萬億元增加到82．7萬億元，年均增長7．1％，占世界經濟比重從11．4％提高到15％左右，對世界經濟增長貢獻率超過30％。財政收入從11．7萬億元增加到17．3萬億元。居民消費價格年均上漲1．9％，保持較低水平。城鎮新增就業6600萬人以上，13億多人口的大國實現了比較充分就業。
Over the past five years, economic strength has reached a new high.China’s gross domestic product (GDP) has risen from 54 trillion to 82.7 trillion yuan, registering average annual growth of 7.1 percent; and its share in the global economy has grown to roughly 15 percent, up from 11.4 percent. China’s contribution to global growth has exceeded 30 percent. Government revenue has increased from 11.7 trillion to 17.3 trillion yuan. Consumer prices have risen at an average annual rate of 1.9 percent, maintaining a relatively low level of growth. More than 66 million new urban jobs have been added, and our country, with its population of over 1.3 billion, has achieved relatively full employment.

五年來，經濟結構出現重大變革。消費貢獻率由54．9％提高到58．8％，服務業比重從45．3％上升到51．6％，成為經濟增長主動力。高技術制造業年均增長11．7％。糧食生產能力達到1．2萬億斤。城鎮化率從52．6％提高到58．5％，8000多萬農業轉移人口成為城鎮居民。
Over the past five years, the structure of the Chinese economy has seen a major transformation. With the share of the service sector rising from 45.3 to 51.6 percent of the economy, consumption’s contribution to growth has increased from 54.9 to 58.8 percent, becoming the main driver of growth. High-tech manufacturing has achieved an average annual increase of 11.7 percent, and the annual grain yield has reached 600 million metric tons. China’s urbanization rate has risen from 52.6 to 58.5 percent, and more than 80 million people who have relocated from rural to urban areas have gained permanent urban residency.

五年來，創新驅動發展成果豐碩。全社會研發投入年均增長11％，規模躍居世界第二位。科技進步貢獻率由52．2％提高到57．5％。載人航天、深海探測、量子通信、大飛機等重大創新成果不斷涌現。高鐵網絡、電子商務、移動支付、共享經濟等引領世界潮流。“互聯網＋”廣泛融入各行各業。大眾創業、萬眾創新蓬勃發展，日均新設企業由5千多戶增加到1萬6千多戶。快速崛起的新動能，正在重塑經濟增長格局、深刻改變生產生活方式，成為中國創新發展的新標志。
Over the past five years, innovation-driven development has yielded fruitful outcomes. China’s investment in research and development (R&D) has grown at an average annual rate of 11 percent, ranking second in the world in scale. The contribution of technological advances to economic growth has risen from 52.2 to 57.5 percent. In manned spaceflight, deep-water exploration, quantum communications, large aircraft development, and more, China has seen a stream of major outcomes of innovation. In high-speed rail, e-commerce, mobile payments, and the sharing economy, China is leading the world. The Internet Plus model has permeated many different fields and industries. Business startups and innovation are thriving all over the country, and the average number of new businesses opened daily has risen from over 5,000 to more than 16,000. Rapidly emerging new growth drivers are reshaping China’s growth model, are profoundly changing the way we live and work, and have become a new hallmark of China’s innovation-driven development.

五年來，改革開放邁出重大步伐。改革全面發力、多點突破、縱深推進，重要領域和關鍵環節改革取得突破性進展，主要領域改革主體框架基本確立。簡政放權、放管結合、優化服務等改革推動政府職能發生深刻轉變，市場活力和社會創造力明顯增強。“一帶一路”建設成效顯著，對外貿易和利用外資結構優化、規模穩居世界前列。
Over the past five years, significant headway has been made in reform and opening up.In reform, we have made strong moves across the board, secured major advances in many areas, and driven deeper in pursuing progress, making breakthroughs in reforms in important fields and at key links and seeing that in the main areas the general frameworks for reform are basically established. Reforms to streamline administration and delegate powers, improve regulation, and optimize services, have driven profound shifts in the functions of government, and significantly strengthened market dynamism and public creativity. Notable achievements have been made in the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). The composition of both Chinese foreign trade and foreign investment in China has been improved, with volumes ranking among the largest in the world.

五年來，人民生活持續改善。脫貧攻堅取得決定性進展，貧困人口減少6800多萬，易地扶貧搬遷830萬人，貧困發生率由10．2％下降到3．1％。居民收入年均增長7．4％、超過經濟增速，形成世界上人口最多的中等收入群體。出境旅游人次由8300萬增加到1億3千多萬。教育事業全面發展。社會養老保險覆蓋9億多人，基本醫療保險覆蓋13．5億人，織就了世界上最大的社會保障網。人均預期壽命達到76．7歲。棚戶區住房改造2600多萬套，農村危房改造1700多萬戶，上億人喜遷新居。
Over the past five years, living standards have been constantly improving.We have made decisive progress in the fight against poverty: More than 68 million people have been lifted out of poverty, including a total of 8.3 million relocated from inhospitable areas, and the poverty headcount ratio has dropped from 10.2 to 3.1 percent. Personal income has increased by an annual average of 7.4 percent, outpacing economic growth and creating the world’s largest middle-income group. Tourist departures have grown from 83 million to over 130 million. Education has seen all-around development. Social old-age pension schemes now cover more than 900 million people, and basic health insurance plans cover 1.35 billion people, forming the largest social safety net in the world. On average, life expectancy has reached 76.7 years. Over 26 million housing units have been rebuilt in rundown urban areas and more than 17 million dilapidated houses have been renovated in rural areas, with the result that more than one hundred million Chinese have moved into new homes.

五年來，生態環境狀況逐步好轉。制定實施大氣、水、土壤污染防治三個“十條”并取得扎實成效。單位國內生產總值能耗、水耗均下降20％以上，主要污染物排放量持續下降，重點城市重污染天數減少一半，森林面積增加1．63億畝，沙化土地面積年均縮減近2000平方公里，綠色發展呈現可喜局面。
Over the past five years, the environment has seen gradual improvement.To address air, water, and soil pollution, we have designed and enforced a ten-point list of measures for each and achieved solid progress. Both energy and water consumption per unit of GDP have fallen more than 20 percent, the release of major pollutants has been consistently declining, and the number of days of heavy air pollution in key cities has fallen 50 percent. Forest coverage has increased by 10.87 million hectares, and the area of desertified land has been reduced by close to 2,000 square kilometers on average each year. Encouraging progress has been made in green development.

剛剛過去的2017年，經濟社會發展主要目標任務全面完成并好于預期。國內生產總值增長6．9％，居民收入增長7．3％，增速均比上年有所加快；城鎮新增就業1351萬人，失業率為多年來最低；工業增速回升，企業利潤增長21％；財政收入增長7．4％，扭轉了增速放緩態勢；進出口增長14．2％，實際使用外資1363億美元、創歷史新高。經濟發展呈現出增長與質量、結構、效益相得益彰的良好局面。這是五年來一系列重大政策效應累積，各方面不懈努力、久久為功的結果。
In the year just passed, all main targets and tasks for economic and social development were accomplished and performance exceeded expectations. GDP grew 6.9 percent and personal income rose 7.3 percent, both beating the previous year’s growth rates. Around 13.51 million new urban jobs were created, and the jobless rate was at its lowest level in years. Industrial growth began to rebound, and corporate profits increased 21 percent. Government revenue grew 7.4 percent, reversing the slowdown in growth. The total import and export value rose 14.2 percent. Inward foreign investment reached 136.3 billion U.S. dollars, hitting a new all-time high.The state of play in the economy was good, with growth and quality, structural improvement, and performance each reinforcing the other. This is the result of the cumulative effect of a raft of major policies over the past five years and of consistent efforts in all areas of endeavor.

過去五年取得的全方位、開創性成就，發生的深層次、根本性變革，再次令世界矚目，全國各族人民倍感振奮和自豪。
The past five years have seen groundbreaking achievements on every front and profound and fundamental changes, attracting global attention and bringing all of us in China pride and inspiration.

五年來，我們認真貫徹以習近平同志為核心的黨中央決策部署，主要做了以下工作。
Over the past five years, we have worked with dedication to implement the decisions and plans made by the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core. The following are the highlights of that work:

（一）堅持穩中求進工作總基調，著力創新和完善宏觀調控，經濟運行保持在合理區間、實現穩中向好。這些年，世界經濟復蘇乏力，國際金融市場跌宕起伏，保護主義明顯抬頭。我國經濟發展中結構性問題和深層次矛盾凸顯，經濟下行壓力持續加大，遇到不少兩難多難抉擇。面對這種局面，我們保持戰略定力，堅持不搞“大水漫灌”式強刺激，而是適應把握引領經濟發展新常態，統籌穩增長、促改革、調結構、惠民生、防風險，不斷創新和完善宏觀調控，確立區間調控的思路和方式，加強定向調控、相機調控、精準調控。明確強調只要經濟運行在合理區間，就業增加、收入增長、環境改善，就集中精力促改革、調結構、添動力。采取既利當前更惠長遠的舉措，著力推進供給側結構性改革，適度擴大總需求，推動實現更高層次的供需動態平衡。經過艱辛努力，我們頂住了經濟下行壓力、避免了“硬著陸”，保持了經濟中高速增長，促進了結構優化，經濟長期向好的基本面不斷鞏固和發展。
First, with a commitment to the general principle of pursuing progress while ensuring stability, we have focused on developing new and better approaches to macro regulation, kept major indicators within an appropriate range, and achieved stable, positive economic performance.The past few years have witnessed anemic world economic recovery, volatility in global financial markets, and a sharp rise in protectionism. In China, structural issues and underlying problems have become more acute, downward pressure on the economy has continued to mount, and we have met with no small number of dilemmas.In facing this new environment, we have maintained strategic focus and refrained from resorting to a deluge of strong stimulus policies. Instead, we have adapted to, addressed, and steered the new normal in economic development, and taken coordinated steps to ensure steady growth, advance reform, make structural adjustments, improve living standards, and guard against risk. We have made fresh innovations in and refined macro regulation, developed the idea of and ways to achieve range-based regulation, and enhanced targeted, well-timed, and precision regulation.We have been clear that as long as the major economic indicators are within an acceptable range, with employment growing, incomes increasing, and the environment improving, then our energies should be focused on advancing reform, making structural adjustments, and adding growth drivers.We have adopted measures that are good for the near term and even better for the long term, made strong moves to advance supply-side structural reform, appropriately expanded aggregate demand, and worked for a dynamic equilibrium of supply and demand at a higher level.With grit and determination, we have overcome downward pressure on the economy, avoided a “hard landing,” maintained a medium-high growth rate, and promoted structural upgrading. The economic fundamentals that will sustain long-term growth have been cemented and enhanced.

堅持實施積極的財政政策和穩健的貨幣政策。在財政收支矛盾較大情況下，著眼“放水養魚”、增強后勁，我國率先大幅減稅降費。分步驟全面推開營改增，結束了66年的營業稅征收歷史，累計減稅超過2萬億元，加上采取小微企業稅收優惠、清理各種收費等措施，共減輕市場主體負擔3萬多億元。加強地方政府債務管理，實施地方政府存量債務置換，降低利息負擔1．2萬億元。調整財政支出結構，盤活沉淀資金，保障基本民生和重點項目。財政赤字率一直控制在3％以內。貨幣政策保持穩健中性，廣義貨幣M2增速呈下降趨勢，信貸和社會融資規模適度增長。采取定向降準、專項再貸款等差別化政策，加強對重點領域和薄弱環節支持，小微企業貸款增速高于各項貸款平均增速。改革完善匯率市場化形成機制，保持人民幣匯率基本穩定，外匯儲備轉降為升。妥善應對“錢荒”等金融市場異常波動，規范金融市場秩序，防范化解重點領域風險，守住了不發生系統性風險的底線，維護了國家經濟金融安全。
We have continued to follow a proactive fiscal policy and a prudent monetary policy. Despite a fairly big imbalance between government revenue and expenditure, China has led the way in slashing taxes and fees with the aim of using accommodative measures to strengthen the basis for sustained growth. Step by step, we have extended the replacement of business tax with value added tax (VAT) to all sectors across the country, calling time on the 66-year history of business tax. The result so far has been a tax cut of more than 2 trillion yuan. We have also adopted measures like preferential tax policies for small low-profit businesses and an overhaul of different types of fees. All in all, our market entities have seen savings of more than 3 trillion yuan. We have strengthened management over local government debt, and issued local government bonds to replace outstanding debt, cutting interest liability by 1.2 trillion yuan. We have adjusted the structure of government expenditure, put idle funds to work, and ensured the spending for undertaking major projects and meeting basic public needs. The deficit-to-GDP ratio has been kept within 3 percent.Monetary policy has remained prudent and neutral. The M2 money supply growth rate has been trending downward, while credit and aggregate financing have seen moderate growth. Differentiated policies, such as targeted reserve requirement ratio cuts and targeted re-lending, have been adopted to strengthen support for key fields and weak links. The growth of loans to small and micro businesses has outstripped the average growth in lending. We have reformed and improved the market-based exchange rate mechanism and kept the RMB exchange rate basically stable; and foreign exchange reserves are now rising not falling. We have responded appropriately to abnormal market fluctuations such as the cash crunch, brought better order to the financial markets, prevented and defused risks in key sectors, forestalled systemic risk, and thus safeguarded China’s economic and financial security.

（二）堅持以供給側結構性改革為主線，著力培育壯大新動能，經濟結構加快優化升級。緊緊依靠改革破解經濟發展和結構失衡難題，大力發展新興產業，改造提升傳統產業，提高供給體系質量和效率。
Second, with a commitment to treating supply-side structural reform as our main task, we have focused on fostering new growth drivers and sped up economic structural upgrading.We have persevered in relying on reform to overcome economic difficulties and address structural imbalances, made a big push to foster emerging industries, overhauled and strengthened traditional industries, and improved the quality and performance of the supply system.

扎實推進“三去一降一補”。五年來，在淘汰水泥、平板玻璃等落后產能基礎上，以鋼鐵、煤炭等行業為重點加大去產能力度，中央財政安排1000億元專項獎補資金予以支持，用于分流職工安置。退出鋼鐵產能1．7億噸以上、煤炭產能8億噸，安置分流職工110多萬人。因城施策分類指導，三四線城市商品住宅去庫存取得明顯成效，熱點城市房價漲勢得到控制。積極穩妥去杠桿，控制債務規模，增加股權融資，工業企業資產負債率連續下降，宏觀杠桿率漲幅明顯收窄、總體趨于穩定。多措并舉降成本，壓減政府性基金項目30％，削減中央政府層面設立的涉企收費項目60％以上，階段性降低“五險一金”繳費比例，推動降低用能、物流、電信等成本。突出重點加大補短板力度。
Solid work has moved us forward in the five priority tasks of cutting overcapacity, reducing excess inventory, deleveraging, lowering costs, and strengthening areas of weakness.Over the past five years, building on work to cut backward production capacity in the cement, plate glass, and other industries, we have intensified efforts to cut overcapacity, prioritizing industries such as steel and coal; and a 100-billion-yuan fund for rewards and subsidies has been put in place by the central government to support efforts to assist affected employees. We have cut steel production capacity by more than 170 million metric tons and coal production capacity by 800 million metric tons, and over 1.1 million affected employees have been assisted.Thanks to city-specific policies and category-specific guidance, clear progress has been made in reducing commercial residential housing inventory in third- and fourth-tier cities, and the growth of housing prices in the most popular cities has been brought under control.We have taken active and prudent steps to deleverage, control the scale of debts, and expand equity finance. The debt-to-asset ratio of industrial enterprises has been consistently declining. Macro leverage ratio is increasing by much smaller margins and is generally stable.We have used a combination of measures to bring down costs: 30 percent of government-managed funds and fees have been cut; over 60 percent of the fees and charges levied on businesses by the central government have been abolished; the ratio of enterprise contributions to old-age pension, medical insurance, unemployment insurance, and maternity insurance, workers’ compensation, and housing provident fund schemes has been reduced for the time being, and work has been done to lower energy, logistics, and telecommunications costs.And, with a focus on key issues, we have stepped up efforts to strengthen areas of weakness.

加快新舊發展動能接續轉換。深入開展“互聯網＋”行動，實行包容審慎監管，推動大數據、云計算、物聯網廣泛應用，新興產業蓬勃發展，傳統產業深刻重塑。實施“中國制造2025”，推進工業強基、智能制造、綠色制造等重大工程，先進制造業加快發展。出臺現代服務業改革發展舉措，服務新業態新模式異軍突起，促進了各行業融合升級。深化農業供給側結構性改革，新型經營主體大批涌現，種植業適度規模經營比重從30％提升到40％以上。采取措施增加中低收入者收入，推動傳統消費提檔升級、新興消費快速興起，網上零售額年均增長30％以上，社會消費品零售總額年均增長11．3％。優化投資結構，鼓勵民間投資，發揮政府投資撬動作用，引導更多資金投向強基礎、增后勁、惠民生領域。高速鐵路運營里程從9000多公里增加到2萬5千公里、占世界三分之二，高速公路里程從9．6萬公里增加到13．6萬公里，新建改建農村公路127萬公里，新建民航機場46個，開工重大水利工程122項，完成新一輪農村電網改造，建成全球最大的移動寬帶網。五年來，發展新動能迅速壯大，經濟增長實現由主要依靠投資、出口拉動轉向依靠消費、投資、出口協同拉動，由主要依靠第二產業帶動轉向依靠三次產業共同帶動。這是我們多年想實現而沒有實現的重大結構性變革。
We have sped up the replacement of old growth drivers.We have taken extensive action under the Internet Plus Initiative, exercised accommodative and prudential regulation, and promoted the extensive application of big data, cloud computing, and the Internet of Things; emerging industries have achieved vigorous growth, and traditional industries have undergone a thorough remodeling.Implementation of the Made in China 2025 initiative has brought progress in major projects like the building of robust industrial foundations, smart manufacturing, and green manufacturing, and has accelerated the development of advanced manufacturing.We unveiled reform and development measures to foster modern services; and this has led to a marked rise in new forms of business in the service sector and new service models as well as the integration and upgrading of multiple sectors.Deepened supply-side structural reform in agriculture has brought the emergence of a large number of new types of agribusiness. The share of appropriately scaled-up farming has increased from 30 to over 40 percent.We have taken measures to increase the incomes of those in low- and middle-income brackets, and helped to see an upgrading of traditional forms of consumption, and a boom in new forms of consumption. Online retail sales have been growing at an average annual rate of over 30 percent, and total retail sales of consumer goods have enjoyed an average annual increase of 11.3 percent.We have improved the composition of investment, encouraged private investment, used government investment to play a catalytic role, and guided more funding toward areas that strengthen the economic foundation, enhance sustainability, and improve people’s lives.China’s in-operation high-speed railways have grown from over 9,000 to 25,000 kilometers, accounting for two thirds of the world’s total. Our expressways have grown from 96,000 to 136,000 kilometers. We have built or upgraded 1.27 million kilometers of rural roads, built 46 new civilian airports, and begun work on 122 major water conservancy projects. We have completed the latest round of rural power grid upgrading, and put in place the largest mobile broadband network in the world.Over the past five years, new growth drivers have rapidly grown in strength. Economic growth, in the past mainly driven by investment and exports, is now being fueled by consumption, investment, and exports. In the past dependent mainly on secondary industry, growth is now powered by a combination of the primary, secondary, and tertiary industries. This is a major structural transformation that for years our sights had been set on but we were never able to achieve.

推進供給側結構性改革，必須破除要素市場化配置障礙，降低制度性交易成本。針對長期存在的重審批、輕監管、弱服務問題，我們持續深化“放管服”改革，加快轉變政府職能，減少微觀管理、直接干預，注重加強宏觀調控、市場監管和公共服務。五年來，國務院部門行政審批事項削減44％，非行政許可審批徹底終結，中央政府層面核準的企業投資項目減少90％，行政審批中介服務事項壓減74％，職業資格許可和認定大幅減少。中央政府定價項目縮減80％，地方政府定價項目縮減50％以上。全面改革工商登記、注冊資本等商事制度，企業開辦時間縮短三分之一以上。創新和加強事中事后監管，實行“雙隨機、一公開”，隨機抽取檢查人員和檢查對象、及時公開查處結果，提高了監管效能和公正性。推行“互聯網＋政務服務”，實施一站式服務等舉措。營商環境持續改善，市場活力明顯增強，群眾辦事更加便利。
Advancing supply-side structural reform demands removing barriers to the market-based allocation of the factors of production and reducing government-imposed transaction costs.To address the longstanding issues of excessive emphasis on approval procedures, insufficient attention to regulatory processes, and a failure to provide strong services, we have been consistently deepening reforms to streamline administration, delegate powers, improve regulation, and strengthen services. We have sped up efforts to transform government functions, reduced micromanagement and direct intervention, and done more to improve macro regulation, market regulation, and public services.Over the past five years, the number of items subject to approval by State Council offices and departments has been slashed by 44 percent, the practice of non-administrative approval has been completely put to a stop, the number of business investment items subject to central government approval has been cut by 90 percent, intermediary services needed for obtaining government approval have been cut by 74 percent, and the requirements for professional qualification approval and accreditation have been significantly reduced. The number of items for which central government sets the prices has been cut back by 80 percent, and local government-priced items have been cut down by over 50 percent. Comprehensive reforms have swept the business system, including business registration and registered capital, reducing the time it takes to start a business by over a third.We have developed new and better ways of conducting compliance oversight, and introduced a new model of oversight combining randomly selected inspectors who inspect randomly selected entities and the prompt release of results. These efforts have made regulation more effective and impartial.We have rolled out the Internet Plus Government Services model and adopted measures such as the one-stop service model.Thanks to the above reforms, the business environment has consistently improved, the market is more energized, and people can access government services more easily.

（三）堅持創新引領發展，著力激發社會創造力，整體創新能力和效率顯著提高。實施創新驅動發展戰略，優化創新生態，形成多主體協同、全方位推進的創新局面。擴大科研機構和高校科研自主權，改進科研項目和經費管理，深化科技成果權益管理改革。推進全面創新改革試驗，支持北京、上海建設科技創新中心，新設14個國家自主創新示范區，帶動形成一批區域創新高地。以企業為主體加強技術創新體系建設，涌現一批具有國際競爭力的創新型企業和新型研發機構。深入開展大眾創業、萬眾創新，實施普惠性支持政策，完善孵化體系。各類市場主體達到9800多萬戶，五年增加70％以上。國內有效發明專利擁有量增加兩倍，技術交易額翻了一番。我國科技創新由跟跑為主轉向更多領域并跑、領跑，成為全球矚目的創新創業熱土。
Third, with a commitment to innovation-driven development, and a focus on unlocking public creativity, we have achieved a remarkable overall improvement in innovation capacity and efficiency.We have put into action the innovation-driven development strategy and worked to build a better ecosystem for innovation, giving shape to innovation involving multiple actors making across-the-board advances.Research institutes and universities now have greater say over their research; research projects and funding are better managed, and the way that rights and interests relating to scientific and technological advances are managed has undergone reform.We have moved forward with piloting comprehensive innovation reform, supported Beijing and Shanghai in building themselves into centers for scientific and technological innovation, and set up 14 new national innovation demonstration zones, thus creating a number of regional innovation hubs.We have boosted the development of a system for technological innovation in which enterprises are the main actors. China has seen the emergence of a number of world-class innovative enterprises and new kinds of R&D institutions.We have launched and taken bold moves in the nationwide business startup and innovation initiative, adopted supportive policies designed to benefit all entrepreneurs and innovators, and improved incubation systems.China’s market entities, all types included, now total over 98 million, an increase of more than 70 percent over the past five years. The number of in-force Chinese invention patents issued in China has tripled, and the volume of technology transactions has doubled. In the global race of scientific and technological innovation, China has shifted place, from following others to keeping pace and even leading the pack in more and more areas.

各位代表！
Fellow Deputies,

回顧過去五年，諸多矛盾交織疊加，各種風險挑戰接踵而至，國內外很多情況是改革開放以來沒有碰到過的，我國改革發展成就實屬來之不易。這是以習近平同志為核心的黨中央堅強領導的結果，是習近平新時代中國特色社會主義思想科學指引的結果，是全黨全軍全國各族人民團結奮斗的結果。我代表國務院，向全國各族人民，向各民主黨派、各人民團體和各界人士，表示誠摯感謝！向香港特別行政區同胞、澳門特別行政區同胞、臺灣同胞和海外僑胞，表示誠摯感謝！向關心和支持中國現代化建設的各國政府、國際組織和各國朋友，表示誠摯感謝！
Looking back on the past five years, we have encountered a great many interwoven problems and a stream of risks and challenges. Both at home and abroad, there have been many new developments, developments that we have not faced since reform and opening up began. The achievements we have made in China’s reform and development have certainly not come easily. We owe them to the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core, to the sound guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, and to the concerted efforts of the Party, the military, and the people of all our nation’s ethnic groups.On behalf of the State Council, I wish to express sincere thanks to the people of all our ethnic groups, and to all other political parties, people’s organizations, and public figures from all sectors of society. I express our sincere appreciation to our fellow countrymen and women in the Hong Kong and Macao special administrative regions, in Taiwan, and overseas. I also wish to express our sincere thanks to the governments of other countries, international organizations, and friends from all over the world who have shown understanding and support for China in its endeavor to modernize.

安不忘危，興不忘憂。我們清醒認識到，我國仍處于并將長期處于社會主義初級階段，仍是世界最大發展中國家，發展不平衡不充分的一些突出問題尚未解決。經濟增長內生動力還不夠足，創新能力還不夠強，發展質量和效益不夠高，一些企業特別是中小企業經營困難，民間投資增勢疲弱，部分地區經濟下行壓力較大，金融等領域風險隱患不容忽視。脫貧攻堅任務艱巨，農業農村基礎仍然薄弱，城鄉區域發展和收入分配差距依然較大。重特大安全生產事故時有發生。在空氣質量、環境衛生、食品藥品安全和住房、教育、醫療、就業、養老等方面，群眾還有不少不滿意的地方。政府職能轉變還不到位。政府工作存在不足，有些改革舉措和政策落實不力，一些干部服務意識和法治意識不強、工作作風不實、擔當精神不夠，形式主義、官僚主義不同程度存在。群眾和企業對辦事難、亂收費意見較多。一些領域不正之風和腐敗問題仍然多發。我們一定要以對國家和人民高度負責的精神，以不畏艱難的勇氣、堅忍不拔的意志，盡心竭力做好工作，使人民政府不負人民重托！
As the Chinese saying goes, when all is calm forget not danger; when all is well be awake to woes. We are keenly aware that China is still in the primary stage of socialism and will remain so for a long time to come, that it remains the largest developing country in the world, and that it faces a number of acute problems caused by unbalanced and inadequate development that so far remain unsolved.The internal forces powering economic growth are not yet sufficient, China’s ability to innovate needs to be stronger, and the quality and performance of development need to be improved. Some enterprises, particularly small and medium ones, are finding it tough going. Growth in private investment is weak; some regions still face considerable downward economic pressure, and risks and potential dangers in the financial and other sectors are not to be ignored.Poverty alleviation remains a formidable task; the foundations of agriculture and rural infrastructure remain weak, and the disparities in development between rural and urban areas, between regions, and in income distribution remain substantial. Serious and major workplace accidents happen all too often. People still have a lot of complaints about air quality, environmental sanitation, food and drug safety, housing, education, healthcare, employment, and elderly care.The transformation of government functions is not yet where it should be. In the work of government there are areas where we fall short. Some reform measures and policies have not been fully implemented. Some officials are weak on awareness that they are there to serve and must uphold the rule of law, and some lack commitment to their work and willingness to bear the weight of responsibility. Bureaucratism and the practice of formalities for formalities’ sake exist to varying degrees. There are many complaints from the people and the business sector about the difficulty of accessing government services and the excessive array of charges. In some sectors misconduct and corruption are still a common problem.With a deep sense of responsibility to our country and people, with courage in the face of adversity, and with determination that won’t be broken, we must give our work all we’ve got, to make sure that the people’s government does not let the people down.
