三、2019年政府工作任務
III．Tasks for 2019

今年經濟社會發展任務重、挑戰多、要求高。我們要突出重點、把握關鍵，扎實做好各項工作。
This year, in pursuing economic and social development, we will face weighty tasks, many challenges, and high demands. We must have clear priorities and address crucial issues to deliver a solid performance across the board.

（一）繼續創新和完善宏觀調控，確保經濟運行在合理區間。堅持以市場化改革的思路和辦法破解發展難題，發揮好宏觀政策逆周期調節作用，豐富和靈活運用財政、貨幣、就業政策工具，增強調控前瞻性、針對性和有效性，為經濟平穩運行創造條件。
1. We will continue to develop new and improved approaches to macro regulation and keep the main economic indicators within an appropriate range. We will keep using market-oriented reform thinking and approaches to resolve problems in development; make good use of countercyclical macro policy regulation; add to and use flexibly financial, monetary, and employment policy instruments; make regulation more forward-looking, targeted, and effective; and create the conditions for ensuring a stable economic performance.

實施更大規模的減稅。普惠性減稅與結構性減稅并舉，重點降低制造業和小微企業稅收負擔。
We will implement larger-scale tax cuts. We will introduce both general-benefit and structural tax cuts, focusing primarily on reducing tax burdens in manufacturing and on small and micro businesses.

深化增值稅改革，將制造業等行業現行16%的稅率降至13%，將交通運輸業、建筑業等行業現行10%的稅率降至9%，確保主要行業稅負明顯降低；保持6%一檔的稅率不變，但通過采取對生產、生活性服務業增加稅收抵扣等配套措施，確保所有行業稅負只減不增，繼續向推進稅率三檔并兩檔、稅制簡化方向邁進。抓好年初出臺的小微企業普惠性減稅政策落實。這次減稅，著眼“放水養魚”、增強發展后勁并考慮財政可持續，是減輕企業負擔、激發市場活力的重大舉措，是完善稅制、優化收入分配格局的重要改革，是宏觀政策支持穩增長、保就業、調結構的重大抉擇。
VAT reform will be deepened: we will reduce the current rate of 16 percent in manufacturing and other industries to 13 percent, and lower the rate in the transportation, construction, and other industries from 10 to 9 percent, thus ensuring that tax burdens in our main industries are meaningfully reduced; keep the lowest bracket rate unchanged at 6 percent, while adopting supporting measures, like increased tax deductions for producer and consumer services, to see that in all industries tax burdens only go down, not up; and continue making progress toward cutting the number of VAT brackets from three to two and simplifying the VAT system. We will ensure that the general-benefit tax cut policies issued at the start of the year for small and micro businesses are put into effect. Our moves to cut tax on this occasion aim at an accommodative effect to strengthen the basis for sustained growth while also considering the need to ensure fiscal sustainability; are a major measure to lighten the burden on businesses and boost market dynamism; are an important reform to improve the tax system and achieve better income distribution; and are the result of a major decision taken at the macro policy level in support of the efforts to ensure stable economic growth, employment, and structural adjustments.

明顯降低企業社保繳費負擔。下調城鎮職工基本養老保險單位繳費比例，各地可降至16%。穩定現行征繳方式，各地在征收體制改革過程中不得采取增加小微企業實際繳費負擔的做法，不得自行對歷史欠費進行集中清繳。繼續執行階段性降低失業和工傷保險費率政策。今年務必使企業特別是小微企業社保繳費負擔有實質性下降。加快推進養老保險省級統籌改革，繼續提高企業職工基本養老保險基金中央調劑比例、劃轉部分國有資本充實社?；稹Ｎ覀兗纫獪p輕企業繳費負擔，又要保障職工社保待遇不受影響、養老金合理增長并按時足額發放，使社?；鹂沙掷m、企業與職工同受益。
We will significantly reduce enterprise contributions to social insurance schemes. We will lower the share borne by employers for urban workers’ basic aged-care insurance, and localities may cut contributions down to 16 percent. The social insurance premium collection methods currently in operation will be kept unchanged. No locality should take any measure that increases the burden on small and micro enterprises when reforming their collection systems, or require, on their own, that longstanding arrears be paid off in a lump sum. The current policy of reducing premiums for unemployment insurance and work injury compensation insurance will continue. This year, premium payments, particularly for small and micro businesses, must be substantively reduced. We will speed up reforms in the provincial-level management of aged-care insurance funds, continue to increase the proportion of enterprise workers’ basic pension funds under central government allocation, and replenish social security funds through the injection of state capital. We must reduce burdens on enterprises, but also ensure that employees’ social security benefits are not affected and aged-care pensions increase as appropriate and are paid on time and in full, so that social security funds are sustainable and both enterprises and employees benefit.

確保減稅降費落實到位。減稅降費直擊當前市場主體的痛點和難點，是既公平又有效率的政策。全年減輕企業稅收和社保繳費負擔近2萬億元。這會給各級財政帶來很大壓力。為支持企業減負，各級政府要過緊日子，想方設法籌集資金。中央財政要開源節流，增加特定國有金融機構和央企上繳利潤，一般性支出壓減5%以上、“三公”經費再壓減3%左右，長期沉淀資金一律收回。地方政府也要主動挖潛，大力優化支出結構，多渠道盤活各類資金和資產。我們要切實讓市場主體特別是小微企業有明顯減稅降費感受，堅決兌現對企業和社會的承諾，困難再多也一定要把這件大事辦成辦好。
We will ensure tax and fee cuts are fully implemented.Tax cuts and fee reductions get right to the spot in tackling the pains and difficulties currently troubling market entities; as a policy option, they are both fair and efficient. This year, we will reduce the tax burdens on and social insurance contributions of enterprises by nearly 2 trillion yuan. This will create big pressure on government budgets at all levels. To support this lightening of the burden on enterprises, governments at all levels must tighten their belts and find workable means of raising funds. The central government needs to increase revenue and reduce expenditures. Profits turned in by designated state-owned financial institutions and enterprises directly under the central government should be increased; general expenditures should be cut by over 5 percent, spending on official overseas visits, official vehicles, and official hospitality should be cut by another 3 percent, and all funds that have long stayed unused will be taken back. Local governments also need to dig deep, take big steps to improve the mix of spending, and put various funds and assets to good use through multiple avenues. We will let market entities, especially small and micro businesses, feel the weight of their burden being meaningfully lightened, honoring our promise to enterprises and society, and seeing that no matter the number of difficulties, this important job gets done and gets done well.

著力緩解企業融資難融資貴問題。改革完善貨幣信貸投放機制，適時運用存款準備金率、利率等數量和價格手段，引導金融機構擴大信貸投放、降低貸款成本，精準有效支持實體經濟，不能讓資金空轉或脫實向虛。加大對中小銀行定向降準力度，釋放的資金全部用于民營和小微企業貸款。支持大型商業銀行多渠道補充資本，增強信貸投放能力，鼓勵增加制造業中長期貸款和信用貸款。今年國有大型商業銀行小微企業貸款要增長30%以上。清理規范銀行及中介服務收費。完善金融機構內部考核機制，激勵加強普惠金融服務，切實使中小微企業融資緊張狀況有明顯改善，綜合融資成本必須有明顯降低。
We will work hard to alleviate the difficulties faced by enterprises in accessing affordable financing.We will reform and refine monetary and credit supply mechanisms, and employ as needed a combination of quantitative and pricing approaches, like required reserve ratios and interest rates, to guide financial institutions in increasing credit supply and bringing down the cost of borrowing, ensure targeted and efficient support for the real economy, and avoid funds circulating within the financial sector without entering the real economy or being diverted out of the real economy. More targeted cuts will be made to required reserve ratios for medium and small banks; the additional funds thus released will be lent to private enterprises and small and micro businesses. We will support large commercial banks in replenishing capital through multiple channels, strengthen their capacity to supply credit, and encourage them to increase medium- and long-term loans and credit loans to the manufacturing sector. This year, loans to be granted to small and micro businesses by large state-owned commercial banks will increase by over 30 percent. Fees charged for banking and intermediary services will be overhauled. We will improve the internal assessment mechanisms of financial institutions, encourage more inclusive financial services, achieve a marked improvement in providing financing for medium, small, and micro enterprises, and see that there are definite reductions in overall financing costs.

有效發揮地方政府債券作用。今年擬安排地方政府專項債券2.15萬億元，比去年增加8000億元，為重點項目建設提供資金支持，也為更好防范化解地方政府債務風險創造條件。合理擴大專項債券使用范圍。繼續發行一定數量的地方政府置換債券，減輕地方利息負擔。鼓勵采取市場化方式，妥善解決融資平臺到期債務問題，不能搞“半拉子”工程。
We will make effective use of local government bonds.This year, 2.15 trillion yuan of special local government bonds will be issued, an 800 billion yuan increase on last year. This is designed to both provide funding for key projects and create conditions for better forestalling and defusing local governments’ debt risks. The scope of use for special local government bonds will be moderately expanded. We will continue the issuance of some local government bonds to replace outstanding debts in order to reduce the interest payment burdens of local governments. We will encourage the adoption of market approaches to solve the issue of maturing debts on financing platforms and make sure that projects financed by such debts are not stopped half way.

多管齊下穩定和擴大就業。扎實做好高校畢業生、退役軍人、農民工等重點群體就業工作，加強對城鎮各類就業困難人員的就業幫扶。對招用農村貧困人口、城鎮登記失業半年以上人員的各類企業，三年內給予定額稅費減免。加強對靈活就業、新就業形態的支持。堅決防止和糾正就業中的性別和身份歧視。
We will use multiple channels to achieve stable and expanding employment.We will work to ensure employment for key groups such as college graduates, demobilized military personnel, and rural migrant workers; and we should give greater employment support for urban jobseekers facing difficulties in securing employment. Enterprises hiring staff from rural poor people or urban residents registered as unemployed for at least six months will be entitled to a fixed amount of tax and fee deductions for three years. We will strengthen support for flexible employment and new forms of employment. We will resolutely protect against and stop gender and identity discrimination in employment.

實施職業技能提升行動，從失業保險基金結余中拿出1000億元，用于1500萬人次以上的職工技能提升和轉崗轉業培訓。健全技術工人職業發展機制和政策。加快發展現代職業教育，既有利于緩解當前就業壓力，也是解決高技能人才短缺的戰略之舉。改革完善高職院?？荚囌猩k法，鼓勵更多應屆高中畢業生和退役軍人、下崗職工、農民工等報考，今年大規模擴招100萬人。擴大高職院校獎助學金覆蓋面、提高補助標準，加快學歷證書和職業技能等級證書互通銜接。
We will implement a vocational skills training initiative, and allocate 100 billion yuan from the surplus in unemployment insurance funds to provide training for over 15 million people upgrading their skills or switching jobs or industries. We will put in place better mechanisms and policies for the career development of skilled workers.Stepping up the development of modern vocational education is a strategic move that will not only ease current employment pressure, but also help to address the shortage of highly-skilled personnel. We will reform and improve the ways that vocational colleges conduct examinations and enrollment, encourage more high school graduates, demobilized military personnel, laid-off workers, and rural migrant workers to apply, and this year achieve a large-scale expansion of one million in student enrollments.We will expand the coverage of scholarships and grants for vocational college students and raise the level of financial assistance, and speed up work to align vocational technical grade certificates with academic credentials.

改革高職院校辦學體制，加強師資隊伍建設，提高辦學質量。引導一批普通本科高校轉為應用型大學。中央財政大幅增加對高職院校的投入，地方財政也要加強支持。設立中等職業教育國家獎學金。支持企業和社會力量興辦職業教育，加快產教融合實訓基地建設。我們要以現代職業教育的大改革大發展，加快培養國家發展急需的各類技術技能人才，讓更多青年憑借一技之長實現人生價值，讓三百六十行人才薈萃、繁星璀璨。
 We will reform the operating mechanisms of vocational colleges, strengthen work on building the teaching workforce, and raise the quality of vocational education. We will encourage a number of regular undergraduate institutions to transform themselves into applied colleges.The central government will greatly increase fiscal support for vocational colleges, and local governments should also strengthen their support. A state scholarship for secondary vocational education will be established. We will support enterprises and private actors in providing vocational education, and speed up work to build instruction centers that integrate technical training and academic education. Through major reforms and the development of modern vocational education, we will move faster to train the different types of technicians and skilled workers urgently needed in China’s development, enabling more young people to gain professional skills and realize their potential and producing a vast range of talent ready to shine bright.

（二）激發市場主體活力，著力優化營商環境。我國有上億市場主體，而且還在不斷增加。把市場主體的活躍度保持住、提上去，是促進經濟平穩增長的關鍵所在。要深化“放管服”改革，降低制度性交易成本，下硬功夫打造好發展軟環境。
2. We will work to energize market entities and improve the business environment.There are hundreds of millions of market entities in China, and the number continues to grow. The key to promoting stable economic growth lies in maintaining and increasing their level of activity. We must push forward with reforms that delegate power, improve regulation, and upgrade services, bring down government-imposed transaction costs, and make every effort to create an enabling environment for development.

以簡審批優服務便利投資興業。市場配置資源是最有效率的形式。要進一步縮減市場準入負面清單，推動“非禁即入”普遍落實。政府要堅決把不該管的事項交給市場，最大限度減少對資源的直接配置，審批事項應減盡減，確需審批的要簡化流程和環節，讓企業多用時間跑市場、少費功夫跑審批。
We will cut government approvals and improve services to create a favorable environment for investment and business startups. Market allocation is the most efficient form of resource allocation. We will further shorten the negative list on market entry and promote across-the-board implementation of the policy of “entry unless on the list.” The government must act with resolve to hand matters it shouldn’t manage over to the market, and make maximum reductions to its direct allocation of resources. Every requirement for government approval that should be canceled will be canceled. When approval is required, the procedures and steps involved will be simplified. This will leave companies to spend more time doing business and less time chasing approvals.

今年，要對所有涉企經營許可事項實行“證照分離”改革，使企業更便捷拿到營業執照并盡快正常運營，堅決克服“準入不準營”的現象；在全國推開工程建設項目審批制度改革，使全流程審批時間大幅縮短。繼續壓縮專利審查和商標注冊時間。
This year, all operating permits required of businesses will be separated from the business license to make it quicker and easier for companies to get a license and start operating as soon as possible; and we will put an end to the phenomenon of “letting firms in but not letting them do business.” Reform of the system for construction project approval will be introduced nationwide, and the time of approval needed at every stage of a project will be significantly shortened. We will continue to cut the time it takes to have a patent approved and a trademark registered.

推行網上審批和服務，抓緊建成全國一體化在線政務服務平臺，加快實現一網通辦、異地可辦，使更多事項不見面辦理，確需到現場辦的要“一窗受理、限時辦結”“最多跑一次”。持續開展“減證便民”改革行動，不能讓繁瑣證明來回折騰企業和群眾。建立政務服務“好差評”制度，服務績效由企業和群眾來評判。政府部門做好服務是本分，服務不好是失職。
We will encourage online approvals and services, and work faster to build a national online platform for government services, enabling access via one website and remote processing, so that more matters can be handled without the need to be physically present. For matters that do require presence in person, they should be processed at a single window, within a specified time, and without the need for a second visit. We will continue to pursue the Cut Certification to Create Convenience reform initiative, and see that businesses and the public are not saddled with running from pillar to post for certificates.
We will establish a government service evaluation system, and let businesses and the public judge if our service is up to scratch. Delivering good services is what a government is meant to do; failure to do so means failing in its duties.

以公正監管促進公平競爭。公平競爭是市場經濟的核心，公正監管是公平競爭的保障。改革完善公平競爭審查和公正監管制度，加快清理妨礙統一市場和公平競爭的各種規定和做法。
We will conduct impartial regulation to promote fair competition.Fair competition is at the heart of a market economy, and impartial regulation is a safeguard for fair competition. We will reform and improve the fair competition review and impartial regulation systems, and move faster to do away with all regulations and practices that impede the functioning of a unified market and fair competition.

政簡易從。規則越簡約透明，監管越有力有效。國家層面重在制定統一的監管規則和標準，地方政府要把主要力量放在公正監管上。
Simple regulations are easy to follow. The simpler and more transparent the rules are, the more robust and effective regulation is. At the national level, the focus is on developing unified regulatory rules and standards, while local governments should concentrate most of their energy on conducting impartial regulation.

推進“雙隨機、一公開”跨部門聯合監管，推行信用監管和“互聯網+監管”改革，優化環保、消防、稅務、市場監管等執法方式，對違法者依法嚴懲、對守法者無事不擾。
We will continue interdepartmental oversight conducted through the random selection of both inspectors and inspection targets and the prompt release of results. We will promote credit rating-based regulation and the Internet Plus Regulation reform initiative, develop better ways of enforcing laws on environmental protection, fire prevention, tax collection, and market oversight, and see that law breakers are punished in accordance with law and the law-abiding are let be.

深化綜合行政執法改革，清理規范行政處罰事項，堅決治理多頭檢查、重復檢查。對監管者也要強監管、立規矩，決不允許搞選擇性執法、任性執法，決不允許刁難企業和群眾。依法打擊制售假冒偽劣商品等違法行為，讓嚴重違法者付出付不起的代價。完善失信聯合懲戒機制，促進各類市場主體守法誠信經營。用公正監管管出公平、管出效率、管出活力。
We will deepen the reform of coordinated law enforcement by government departments, overhaul government penalties and punitive measures, and address overlap and duplication in enforcement. Regulators themselves must also be subject to strong oversight and follow rules. There can be no tolerance for selective or arbitrary law enforcement or for making things difficult for businesses and people.We will, in accordance with law, crack down on violations of law such as the production and sale of counterfeit and substandard goods, and make the price to pay for serious offenders too dear to afford. We will improve the mechanism for joint punitive action against bad faith, and encourage all market entities to do business in accordance with law and in good faith. We will use impartial regulation to ensure a fair, efficient, and dynamic market.

以改革推動降低涉企收費。深化電力市場化改革，清理電價附加收費，降低制造業用電成本，一般工商業平均電價再降低10%。深化收費公路制度改革，推動降低過路過橋費用，治理對客貨運車輛不合理審批和亂收費、亂罰款。兩年內基本取消全國高速公路省界收費站，實現不停車快捷收費，減少擁堵、便利群眾。取消或降低一批鐵路、港口收費。專項治理中介服務收費。繼續清理規范行政事業性收費。加快收費清單“一張網”建設，讓收費公開透明，讓亂收費無處藏身。

Within two years, we will remove almost all expressway toll booths at provincial borders and make nonstop, swift collection a reality. This will cut traffic congestion and make road transport more convenient. A number of railway and port charges will be abolished or lowered.We will launch an initiative to address the collection of charges by intermediary organizations. We will continue reviewing and standardizing government levied charges. We will speed up the development of a comprehensive listing system for the collection of fees and charges, making charge collecting open and transparent and leaving unauthorized charges no place to hide.

（三）堅持創新引領發展，培育壯大新動能。發揮我國人力人才資源豐富、國內市場巨大等綜合優勢，改革創新科技研發和產業化應用機制，大力培育專業精神，促進新舊動能接續轉換。
3. We will continue to pursue innovation-driven development and foster new growth drivers.We will make full use of our country’s combined strengths—its abundant human resources and talent and vast domestic market, reform and develop new mechanisms for scientific and technological R&D and industrial application, and foster professionalism, to speed up the replacement of old growth drivers with new ones.

We will support enterprises in speeding up technological transformation and equipment upgrading by extending the preferential policy of accelerated depreciation of fixed assets to the entire manufacturing sector. We will strengthen the supporting capacity of quality infrastructure, upgrade our standards to meet advanced international ones, and improve the quality of products and services to encourage more domestic and foreign users to choose Chinese goods and services.

促進新興產業加快發展。深化大數據、人工智能等研發應用，培育新一代信息技術、高端裝備、生物醫藥、新能源汽車、新材料等新興產業集群，壯大數字經濟。堅持包容審慎監管，支持新業態新模式發展，促進平臺經濟、共享經濟健康成長。加快在各行業各領域推進“互聯網+”。持續推動網絡提速降費。開展城市千兆寬帶入戶示范，改造提升遠程教育、遠程醫療網絡，推動移動網絡擴容升級，讓用戶切實感受到網速更快更穩定。
We will work to speed up the growth of emerging industries.We will strengthen R&D and the application of big data and artificial intelligence technologies, foster clusters of emerging industries like next-generation information technology, high-end equipment, biomedicine, new-energy automobiles, and new materials, and expand the digital economy. We will continue accommodative and prudential regulation, support the growth of new forms and models of business, and stimulate the healthy development of the platform economy and the sharing economy. We will speed up efforts to pursue Internet Plus initiatives in all industries and sectors.We will continue to speed up broadband and lower internet rates. We will launch demo projects to extend 1,000M broadband connectivity to urban homes, upgrade networks for distance education and telemedicine, and increase the capacity of and upgrade mobile networks, to provide faster and more reliable broadband connections for internet users.

今年中小企業寬帶平均資費再降低15%，移動網絡流量平均資費再降低20%以上，在全國實行“攜號轉網”，規范套餐設置，使降費實實在在、消費者明明白白。
This year, average broadband service rates for small and medium enterprises will be lowered by another 15 percent, and average rates for mobile internet services will be further cut by more than 20 percent. Cellphone subscribers nationwide will be able to keep their numbers while switching carriers, and cellphone packages will be regulated to achieve solid fee cuts for all consumers to see.

提升科技支撐能力。加大基礎研究和應用基礎研究支持力度，強化原始創新，加強關鍵核心技術攻關。抓緊布局國家實驗室，重組國家重點實驗室體系。
We will increase our ability to provide scientific and technological support.
We will increase support for basic research and application-oriented basic research, step up original innovation, and work harder to achieve breakthroughs in core technologies in key fields. We will act quickly to undertake overall planning on national laboratories and restructure the system of key national laboratories. 

完善重大科技項目組織管理。健全以企業為主體的產學研一體化創新機制，支持企業牽頭實施重大科技項目。加快建設科技創新資源開放共享平臺，強化對中小企業的技術創新服務。擴大國際創新合作。全面加強知識產權保護，健全知識產權侵權懲罰性賠償制度，促進發明創造和轉化運用。

We will improve the organization and management of major science and technology programs.We will refine enterprise-led mechanisms for bringing together firms, universities, and research institutes to engage in innovation, and support companies in heading up major science and technology programs. We will speed up the development of platforms for sharing scientific and technological innovation resources, and provide better services to small and medium businesses to facilitate their technological innovation. Innovation cooperation with other countries will be expanded. We will strengthen intellectual property protection across the board, improve the system of punitive compensation for IP infringements, and promote invention and creation and their industrial application.

科技創新本質上是人的創造性活動。要充分尊重和信任科研人員，賦予創新團隊和領軍人才更大的人財物支配權和技術路線決策權。進一步提高基礎研究項目間接經費占比，開展項目經費使用“包干制”改革試點，不設科目比例限制，由科研團隊自主決定使用。完善科技成果評價機制。
Technological innovation is in essence a human creative activity. We must fully respect and trust our scientists and researchers, and empower teams and leaders of innovation by placing more human, financial, and material resources at their disposal and giving them more power to make decisions on technology roadmaps. We will further increase the proportion of indirect funding for basic research projects, pilot the creation of ceilings in funding that enable the retention of unused funds, set no limits on the proportions of spending items, and give research teams the power to decide how to use funds. We will improve the assessment mechanisms for advances in science and technology.

要在推動科技體制改革舉措落地見效上下功夫，決不能讓改革政策停留在口頭上、紙面上。大力簡除煩苛，使科研人員潛心向學、創新突破。加強科研倫理和學風建設，懲戒學術不端，力戒浮躁之風。我國有世界上最大規模的科技人才隊伍，營造良好的科研生態，就一定能夠迎來各類英才競現、創新成果泉涌的生動局面。
We will work to ensure that measures to reform science and technology management systems are fully implemented, and must not allow reform policies to become hollow promises. We will work hard to cut red tape to enable researchers to concentrate on the pursuit of learning, innovation, and breakthroughs. We will strengthen research ethics, improve academic practice, take disciplinary action against academic misconduct, and guard firmly against rash action. China has the largest pool of scientific and technological personnel in the world. If we foster a healthy research environment, we’ll be sure to see brilliant and capable people emerge in all fields and create a boundless stream of innovations.

進一步把大眾創業萬眾創新引向深入。鼓勵更多社會主體創新創業，拓展經濟社會發展空間，加強全方位服務，發揮雙創示范基地帶動作用。強化普惠性支持，落實好小規模納稅人增值稅起征點從月銷售額3萬元提高到10萬元等稅收優惠政策。改革完善金融支持機制，設立科創板并試點注冊制，鼓勵發行雙創金融債券，擴大知識產權質押融資，支持發展創業投資。改革完善人才培養、使用、評價機制，優化歸國留學人員和外籍人才服務。把面向市場需求和弘揚人文精神結合起來，善聚善用各類人才，中國創新一定能更好發展，為人類文明進步作出應有貢獻。
We will do more to encourage startups and innovation nationwide.We will encourage more private actors to engage in innovation and start businesses, expand the space for economic and social development, strengthen comprehensive services, and give play to the pathfinding role of innovation and entrepreneurship demo centers. We will strengthen inclusive support for innovation and business startups, and implement preferential tax policies such as raising the VAT threshold from 30,000 to 100,000 yuan in monthly sales for small-scale taxpayers. We will reform and improve financial support mechanisms, establish a science and technology innovation board that will pilot an IPO registration system, encourage the issuing of special bonds for innovation and entrepreneurship, expand the use of intellectual property pledge financing, and support the growth of venture capital investment. We will reform and improve mechanisms for training, employing, and evaluating capable people and provide better services for students returning from overseas and foreign professionals. By combining our response to market demand with a championing of the spirit of humanity, and by bringing together and using well capable people with talents of all kinds, we will be sure to see better development in Chinese innovation, and thus do our part for the progress of human civilization.

（四）促進形成強大國內市場，持續釋放內需潛力。充分發揮消費的基礎作用、投資的關鍵作用，穩定國內有效需求，為經濟平穩運行提供有力支撐。
4. We will stimulate the development of a robust domestic market and keep unlocking the potential of domestic demand.We will fully leverage the basic role of consumption and the key role of investment, ensure steady effective domestic demand, and thus boost stable economic performance.

推動消費穩定增長。多措并舉促進城鄉居民增收，增強消費能力。落實好新修訂的個人所得稅法，使符合減稅政策的約8000萬納稅人應享盡享。要順應消費需求的新變化，多渠道增加優質產品和服務供給，加快破除民間資本進入的堵點。
We will promote steady growth in consumption. We will use a combination of measures to increase urban and rural personal incomes and boost capacity for consumption. We will fully implement the revised Individual Income Tax Law to see that approximately 80 million taxpayers to whom reductions apply get the most out of these policies. We will adapt to new changes in consumption needs, use multiple avenues to increase the supply of quality products and services, and act faster to resolve problems and difficulties blocking the entry of private investment.

我國60歲以上人口已達2.5億。要大力發展養老特別是社區養老服務業，對在社區提供日間照料、康復護理、助餐助行等服務的機構給予稅費減免、資金支持、水電氣熱價格優惠等扶持，新建居住區應配套建設社區養老服務設施，加強農村養老服務設施建設，改革完善醫養結合政策，擴大長期護理保險制度試點，讓老年人擁有幸福的晚年，后來人就有可期的未來。
The number of people in China aged 60 and above has now reached 250 million. We will take significant steps to develop elderly care, especially community elderly care services. We will provide support to institutions offering services in the community like day care, rehabilitation care, and assisted meals and assisted mobility using measures such as tax and fee cuts and exemptions, funding support, and reduced charges for water, electricity, gas, and heating. New residential areas should include facilities for community elderly care services, and we will step up the development of such facilities in rural areas.

We will explore new forms of project financing, lower as appropriate capital contribution requirements for infrastructure projects, make good use of developmental financial instruments, and attract more private capital into projects in key areas. We will see that policies to encourage private investment are implemented, and take systematic steps to strengthen cooperation between the government and private capital. We will undertake reforms to improve the public bidding system.
The government must set an example in acting in good faith and honoring contracts; new officials must not be allowed to get away with ignoring obligations undertaken by predecessors.

（五）對標全面建成小康社會任務，扎實推進脫貧攻堅和鄉村振興。堅持農業農村優先發展，加強脫貧攻堅與鄉村振興統籌銜接，確保如期實現脫貧攻堅目標、農民生活達到全面小康水平。
5. We will make solid progress in poverty alleviation and rural revitalization and move closer to completing the tasks of building a moderately prosperous society in all respects.We will continue to prioritize the development of agriculture and rural areas, strengthen both poverty alleviation and rural revitalization, and ensure that the poverty alleviation goals are achieved and rural living standards reach the level of moderate prosperity in all respects according to plan.

We will beat poverty with precision alleviation. We will give priority to our work of seeing that the basic living needs of rural poor populations are met and that such people have access to compulsory education, basic medical services, and housing. We will intensify poverty alleviation in areas of extreme poverty like the “three regions and three prefectures,( The “three regions” refers to Tibet, four prefectures of southern Xinjiang—Hotan, Aksu, Kashi, and the Kirgiz Autonomous Prefecture of Kizilsu, and the areas of Sichuan, Yunnan, Gansu, and Qinghai provinces with large Tibetan populations; the “three prefectures” are Liangshan in Sichuan, Nujiang in Yunnan, and Linxia in Gansu.)” strengthen infrastructure development in such areas, and ensure social safeguards for the most vulnerable groups.
The eradication of poverty and achievement of prosperity cannot happen without the support of industries. We will do more to support impoverished areas in developing businesses that leverage local strengths. We will launch an initiative to address school dropout rates and ensure attendance, and achieve clear reductions in rural student dropout rates in poor areas. We will continue to increase the size of special enrollment quotas at key universities for students from rural and poor areas, and make full use of the fundamental role of education in stopping poverty from being passed on to the next generation.

基本完成“十三五”易地扶貧搬遷規劃建設任務，加強后續扶持。對摘帽縣和脫貧人口的扶持政策要保持一段時間，鞏固脫貧成果。完善考核監督，用好中央脫貧攻堅專項巡視成果。越是到脫貧攻堅的關鍵階段，越要抓實抓細各項工作，確保脫貧有實效、可持續、經得起歷史檢驗。
We will move toward completion of the 13th Five-Year Plan’s construction tasks for planned relocations of poor populations from inhospitable areas, and strengthen follow-up support. Support policies that apply to counties and populations that have recently been lifted out of poverty will be maintained for a period to consolidate progress in poverty alleviation. We will improve evaluation and oversight, and ensure that the results of special inspections on poverty alleviation by central government inspection teams serve their intended purpose. The further we get in the crucial stage of the fight, the greater the need, in every aspect of our work, to tackle real problems with attention paid to details, to be certain to deliver substantive, sustainable outcomes that stand the test of time.

We will improve agriculture, particularly grain production. We must ensure, through our own efforts, the grain supply for almost 1.4 billion Chinese people. To this end, we will keep grain output stable and optimize the mix of crop varieties. We will strengthen farmland irrigation and water conservancy, and increase the area of high-standard cropland by no less than 5.33 million hectares. We will ensure that the production of hogs and other types of livestock, and poultry, remains stable, and strengthen the prevention and control of epidemics and diseases like African swine fever.

We will provide support to people who are returning or moving to the countryside to start businesses or pursue innovations, promote the integrated development of the primary, secondary, and tertiary industries, and strengthen county economies. Income from nonagricultural work plays a big part in increasing rural incomes. We must address at the root wage arrears owed to rural migrant workers, act fast to draw up government regulations specifically with this aim, and make sure that our hard-working rural migrant workers get the pay they have earned on time.

扎實推進鄉村建設?？茖W編制和實施建設規劃，大力改善生產生活條件。加快實施農村飲水安全鞏固提升工程，今明兩年要解決好飲水困難人口的飲水安全問題，提高6000萬農村人口供水保障水平。完成新一輪農村電網升級改造。新建改建農村公路20萬公里。繼續推進農村危房改造。因地制宜開展農村人居環境整治，推進“廁所革命”、垃圾污水治理，建設美麗鄉村。
