With over 8.2 million college students graduating this year, again reaching an all-time high, we need to expand the channels for employment and support job creation through business startups.Solid work needs to be done on job resettlement, management, and security provision for demobilized military personnel. We should give stronger support to people with disabilities and other groups having difficulty securing employment. We should create more jobs for rural migrant workers, and take comprehensive measures to address the problem of wage arrears. We should improve labor relations consultation mechanisms, put an end to gender and identity discrimination, and work to make fairer and fuller employment an outstanding highlight of our country’s development.

穩(wěn)步提高居民收入水平。繼續(xù)提高退休人員基本養(yǎng)老金和城鄉(xiāng)居民基礎養(yǎng)老金。合理調(diào)整社會最低工資標準。完善機關事業(yè)單位工資和津補貼制度，向艱苦地區(qū)、特殊崗位傾斜。提高個人所得稅起征點，增加子女教育、大病醫(yī)療等專項費用扣除，合理減負，鼓勵人民群眾通過勞動增加收入、邁向富裕。

We should develop fair, high-quality education.

We should promote the integrated development of urban and rural compulsory education, and continue to weight funding for education toward poor areas and weak links. We need to significantly reduce the rural drop-out rate, move faster to put an end to big class sizes in urban schools, and give attention to addressing the problem of heavy extracurricular burdens on primary and secondary school students.Children are the hope of their families and the future of our nation. We need to increase the supply of preschool educational resources through multiple channels, give serious attention to preschool teachers and their training, and use the internet and other IT-based approaches to strengthen oversight over the childcare process at preschools, making certain that parents can have peace of mind.We should work hard to develop vocational education and support and regulate the provision of vocational education by private actors. We should continue working to make senior secondary education universally available. With the needs of economic and social development as our compass, we need to improve the structure of higher education, act faster to develop world-class universities and world-class disciplines, and support the central and western regions in building universities with character and of high quality.We should continue the higher education admissions scheme with preferential provisions for students from rural and poor areas.

We should implement the Healthy China strategy.

We should raise basic medical insurance and serious disease insurance benefits. Per capita government subsidies for basic health insurance for rural and non-working urban residents should be increased by 40 yuan, half of which should be used for the serious disease insurance scheme. We should expand the coverage of interprovincial on-the-spot settlement of medical bills through basic insurance accounts and make this applicable to community-level hospitals, and to rural migrant workers and other workers and business owners without local household registration.We should strengthen efforts to train medical workers, build up the ranks of general practitioners and pediatricians, and make progress in developing tiered diagnosis and treatment and contracted family doctor services. We should continue to increase per capita government subsidies for basic public health services. We should step up prevention and control of serious diseases, treating prevention as particularly important. Maternal and child healthcare should be improved. We should preserve traditional Chinese medicine and support its development through innovation. We should encourage the combination of Chinese and Western medicine.We should develop new ways of conducting food and drug oversight, and use the internet and big data to increase oversight effectiveness.

Multiple channels should be used to increase sports venues and facilities available for the general public.

We should step up efforts to supply public-rental housing so that all eligible low-income families struggling with housing, including eligible non-homeowning first-time workers and migrant workers, are able to access public-rental housing under this scheme.We must be clear that houses are for living in, not for speculation. We should expect local governments to fulfill their primary responsibility in this respect, and need to continue exercising differentiated regulation and put in place robust permanent mechanisms to promote the steady and healthy development of real estate markets. We should support people in buying homes for personal use, and develop the housing rental market and shared ownership housing.We need to speed up the establishment of a housing system with multiple types of suppliers, multiple channels for housing support, and encouragement for both renting and buying, so that more people can soon have a place to call home.

We should strengthen efforts to meet people’s basic living needs.

We should steadily raise urban and rural subsistence allowances, social assistance benefits, and benefits for entitled groups. We need to take proactive measures to tackle population aging, including developing at-home, community-based, and mutual-aid elderly care, promoting integrated medical and elderly care services, and improving the quality of services at senior care facilities.We should give assistance and support to children who remain in rural areas while their parents move to work in the cities. We should provide better security to both urban and rural children in difficult situations. Disabled veterans and the families of military personnel and martyrs need to be well taken care of. Rehabilitation services for people with disabilities should be improved. We should improve social assistance systems, and support the development of public interest activities and charity.We need to bring empathy and energy to our work to meet basic needs; there should be no reluctance to act because something is not easy, and no failure to act because the benefit seems small; we must ensure that care and compassion reach everyone in need.

打造共建共治共享社會治理格局。完善基層群眾自治制度，加強社區(qū)治理。發(fā)揮好工會、共青團、婦聯(lián)等群團組織作用。促進社會組織、專業(yè)社會工作、志愿服務健康發(fā)展。加強社會信用體系建設。完善公共法律服務體系，落實普法責任制。營造尊重婦女、關愛兒童、尊敬老人、愛護殘疾人的良好風尚。完善社會矛盾糾紛多元化解機制。創(chuàng)新信訪工作方式，依法及時解決群眾合理訴求。嚴格落實安全生產(chǎn)責任，堅決遏制重特大事故。做好地震、氣象、地質(zhì)等工作，提高防災減災救災能力。推進平安中國建設，嚴密防范和堅決打擊暴力恐怖活動，依法開展掃黑除惡專項斗爭，懲治盜搶騙黃賭毒等違法犯罪活動，整治電信網(wǎng)絡詐騙、侵犯公民個人信息、網(wǎng)絡傳銷等突出問題，維護國家安全和公共安全。
We should develop a new model of social governance based on collaboration, co-governance, and common gains.

We should improve the system of primary level self-governance and strengthen community governance. We should see that trade unions, Communist Youth League organizations, women’s federations and other people’s organizations are all playing their due roles. We should promote the healthy development of social organizations, specialized social work, and volunteer services.We need to strengthen work on building the social credit system. We should improve the public legal service system, and enforce a system of responsibility for popularizing legal knowledge.We need to foster a positive culture in which women are respected, children are cared for, the elderly are treated with respect, and people with disabilities are treated considerately.

We need to develop new approaches to handling public complaints, and see that the justified demands of our people are addressed promptly in accordance with law.We need to see that workplace safety responsibilities are strictly executed to prevent the occurrence of serious and major accidents.

We must provide rich cultural nourishment to help our people to live better lives.

We should see that our fine traditional Chinese culture is alive and thriving, see our revolutionary culture is inherited and carried on, develop advanced socialist culture, and foster and practice core socialist values.

各位代表！
Fellow Deputies,

進入新時代，政府工作在新的一年要有新氣象新作為。要牢固樹立“四個意識”，堅定“四個自信”，堅決維護習近平總書記核心地位，堅決維護黨中央權威和集中統(tǒng)一領導，落實全面從嚴治黨要求，加強政府自身建設，深入推進政府職能轉(zhuǎn)變，全面提升履職水平，為人民提供優(yōu)質(zhì)高效服務。
Entering a new era, the government’s work in the new year must bring new steps and make new advances. We must become deeply conscious of the need to maintain political integrity, think in big-picture terms, follow the leadership core, and keep in alignment. We must strengthen confidence in the path, theory, system, and culture of socialism with Chinese characteristics. We must resolutely uphold the core position of General Secretary Xi Jinping, resolutely uphold the authority of the Party Central Committee and its centralized, unified leadership, and act on the requirement for full and rigorous Party self-governance. We need to improve our government, intensify efforts to transform government functions, raise our ability in every respect to execute our duties, and deliver to the people high-quality and efficient services.

全面推進依憲施政、依法行政。嚴格遵守憲法法律，加快建設法治政府，把政府活動全面納入法治軌道。堅持嚴格規(guī)范公正文明執(zhí)法，有權不可任性，用權必受監(jiān)督。各級政府要依法接受同級人大及其常委會的監(jiān)督，自覺接受人民政協(xié)的民主監(jiān)督，主動接受社會和輿論監(jiān)督，認真聽取人大代表、政協(xié)委員意見，聽取民主黨派、工商聯(lián)、無黨派人士和各人民團體意見。政府要信守承諾，決不能“新官不理舊賬”。全面推進政務公開。推行政府法律顧問制度。堅持科學、民主、依法決策，凡涉及公眾利益的重大事項，都要深入聽取各方意見包括批評意見。人民政府的所有工作都要體現(xiàn)人民意愿，干得好不好要看實際效果、最終由人民來評判。
All governance must be exercised in accordance with the Constitution and the law.

We must strictly observe the Constitution and the law, and speed up work on building a government based on the rule of law, seeing that all government activities are consistent with the rule of law. We must work to ensure that the law is enforced in a strict, procedure-based, impartial, and civil manner. Power cannot be used as one pleases; the exercise of power must be supervised.We, at every level of government, must subject ourselves, as required by law, to the oversight of the people’s congresses at that level and their standing committees; we must readily accept the democratic oversight of CPPCC committees, and we must actively accept public oversight and oversight through public opinion. We should earnestly solicit opinions from deputies to people’s congresses and CPPCC committee members, and listen to the views of other political parties, federations of industry and commerce, public figures without party affiliation, and people’s organizations.We in government must honor our commitments; new officials must not be allowed to disavow obligations undertaken by their predecessors. We should make government affairs more transparent across the board. We should promote the legal consultation system for government. Decisions need to be made in a sound and democratic way on the basis of law, and before making decisions on any major issue related to public interests, we should solicit input, including criticism, from all parties.Ours is a government of the people, and everything we do should reflect their will. Whether we’ve done a good job only the outcomes can tell and ultimately it is for the people to judge.

全面加強黨風廉政建設。推進“兩學一做”學習教育常態(tài)化制度化，認真開展“不忘初心、牢記使命”主題教育。堅決貫徹落實黨中央八項規(guī)定及實施細則精神，馳而不息整治“四風”，特別是力戒形式主義、官僚主義。加強審計監(jiān)督。鞏固發(fā)展反腐敗斗爭壓倒性態(tài)勢，把權力關進制度的籠子，堅決懲治各類腐敗行為。政府工作人員要廉潔修身，勤勉盡責，自覺接受法律監(jiān)督、監(jiān)察監(jiān)督和人民的監(jiān)督，干干凈凈為人民做事，決不辜負人民公仆的稱號。
All initiatives to improve Party conduct and ensure clean government should be strengthened.

All Party members should gain a good command of the Party Constitution, Party regulations, and General Secretary Xi Jinping’s major policy addresses, and meet Party standards; we should work to see this become a regular and institutionalized practice. And we need to keep reminding ourselves of our commitment to our original aspiration and have our mission always in mind.We must resolutely put into action the central Party leadership’s eight-point decision on improving conduct and staying engaged with the people along with its detailed rules for implementation. We should work ceaselessly to address the practice of formalities for formalities’ sake, bureaucratism, hedonism, and extravagance, with particular focus on seeing the first two stamped out.We should strengthen auditing-based oversight. We need to consolidate and build on the overwhelming momentum of the anti-corruption campaign, locking power in an institutional cage, and cracking down on all manifestations of corruption.All government employees must cultivate personal integrity, have a strong work ethic and sense of responsibility, and readily accept the oversight of the law, supervisory bodies, and the people; we must keep our hands clean and work hard for the people, and never fail to live up to the name of people’s public servants.

全面提高政府效能。優(yōu)化政府機構(gòu)設置和職能配置，深化機構(gòu)改革，形成職責明確、依法行政的政府治理體系，增強政府公信力和執(zhí)行力。中國改革發(fā)展的一切成就，都是干出來的。對各級政府及其工作人員來說，為人民干事是天職、不干是失職。要完善激勵約束、容錯糾錯機制，旗幟鮮明給積極干事者撐腰鼓勁，對庸政懶政者嚴肅問責。決不能表態(tài)多調(diào)門高、行動少落實差，決不允許占著位子不干事。廣大干部要提高政治素質(zhì)和工作本領，求真務實，干字當頭，干出實打?qū)嵉男聵I(yè)績，干出群眾的好口碑，干出千帆競發(fā)、百舸爭流的生動局面。
All aspects of government performance should be improved.

We need to improve the composition and responsibilities of the institutions of government, deepen institutional reform, form a system of governance by government with clearly defined duties and obligations and administration in line with law, and strengthen government credibility and executive capacity.Every last achievement in China’s reform and development has been made by doing. To us—all levels of government and all government employees—getting things done for the people is our unquestionable duty; not doing is a dereliction of that duty.We need to improve incentive and constraint mechanisms and mechanisms to allow for and address errors, give unequivocal backing to the driven and the doers, and hold strictly to account the incompetent and the idle. Talking big and setting ambitious goals but taking little action to achieve them should not be tolerated; nor should sitting around in a government post and getting nothing done.We in government need to improve our political integrity and professional competence, be realistic and pragmatic, and make doing our top priority. Only by doing can we make solid new achievements, earn public endorsement, and contribute to a dynamic atmosphere in which everyone is motivated and driven to get things done.

各位代表！
Fellow Deputies,

The Chinese nation is a big family in which we live together in peace, unity, and amity. We need to uphold and improve the system of regional ethnic autonomy and fully implement the Party’s policies on ethnic groups. We should continue to strengthen support for development in areas of mainly ethnic minorities and for the development of ethnic groups with smaller populations. It should be seen to that celebrations to mark the 60th anniversaries of the founding of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region and Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region are a great success. We should encourage more exchanges and interactions among our ethnic groups to strengthen the foundations and bonds of the Chinese national community.

我們要全面貫徹黨的宗教工作基本方針，堅持我國宗教的中國化方向，促進宗教關系健康和諧，發(fā)揮宗教界人士和信教群眾在促進經(jīng)濟社會發(fā)展中的積極作用。

面對國家安全環(huán)境的深刻變化，我們要以黨在新時代的強軍目標為引領，牢固確立習近平強軍思想在國防和軍隊建設中的指導地位，堅定不移走中國特色強軍之路，全面推進練兵備戰(zhàn)工作，堅決有力維護國家主權、安全、發(fā)展利益。堅持黨對軍隊絕對領導的根本原則和制度，全面深入貫徹軍委主席負責制。繼續(xù)推進國防和軍隊改革，建設強大穩(wěn)固的現(xiàn)代邊?？辗?。完善國防動員體系，加強全民國防教育。維護軍人軍屬合法權益，讓軍人成為全社會尊崇的職業(yè)。深入實施軍民融合發(fā)展戰(zhàn)略，深化國防科技工業(yè)改革。各級政府要采取更有力的舉措，支持國防和軍隊建設改革，深入開展擁軍優(yōu)屬、擁政愛民活動，使軍政軍民團結(jié)始終堅如磐石、始終根深葉茂。
Faced with profound changes in the national security environment, we must treat the Party’s goal of building stronger armed forces for the new era as our guide, and firmly uphold the guiding position of Xi Jinping’s thinking on strengthening the armed forces as we develop national defense and the armed forces. We must stick to the Chinese path in strengthening our armed forces, advance all aspects of military training and war preparedness, and firmly and resolvedly safeguard national sovereignty, security, and development interests.The fundamental principle and system of absolute leadership by the Party over the armed forces must be observed, and the system of the Chairman of the Central Military Commission assuming full responsibility for military affairs should be fully enforced.We need to continue to reform national defense and the armed forces, and build strong and solid modernized border, coastal, and air defense. We should improve our national defense mobilization system and strengthen public awareness about national defense. We should protect the legal rights and interests of service personnel and their families, and make military service an occupation that enjoys public respect. We should further implement the strategy for military-civilian integration and deepen reform of defense-related science, technology, and industry.We, at every level of government, must take more effective measures to support the development and reform of our national defense and armed forces and carry out extensive activities to encourage government and public support for the military and preferential treatment for families of service personnel and martyrs and to encourage the military to support the government and love the people, so that the unity between the military and government and between the military and the people is always strong as stone, and deeply rooted as an evergreen.

The governments and chief executives of the two regions have our full support in exercising law-based governance and in their efforts to achieve strong economic growth, improve living standards, progressively advance democracy, and promote social harmony.We should support Hong Kong and Macao in integrating their own development into overall national development, and should boost exchanges and cooperation between the mainland and the two regions. We have every confidence that Hong Kong and Macao will develop and thrive together with the mainland.

我們要繼續(xù)貫徹對臺工作大政方針，堅持一個中國原則，在“九二共識”基礎上推動兩岸關系和平發(fā)展，推進祖國和平統(tǒng)一進程。堅決維護國家主權和領土完整，絕不容忍任何“臺獨”分裂圖謀和行徑。擴大兩岸經(jīng)濟文化交流合作，逐步為臺灣同胞在大陸學習、創(chuàng)業(yè)、就業(yè)、生活提供與大陸同胞同等待遇。兩岸同根，骨肉相親。兩岸同胞順應歷史大勢、共擔民族大義，必將共創(chuàng)中華民族偉大復興的美好未來！
We must continue to implement the principles and policies on our work related to Taiwan, uphold the one-China principle, promote the peaceful growth of cross-Strait relations on the basis of the 1992 Consensus, and advance China’s peaceful reunification. We must remain firm in safeguarding China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, and must never tolerate any separatist schemes or activities for “Taiwan independence.”We should expand cross-Strait economic and cultural exchanges and cooperation, and ensure that over time, people from Taiwan come to enjoy the same treatment as mainlanders when they pursue study, do business, work or live on the mainland.As fellow Chinese living on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, we share a bond of kinship. As long as we go with the tide of history and work together for our nation’s greater good, we will together create the future—a beautiful future of national rejuvenation.
