Over the past five years, China has scored historic new achievements in economic and social development. The economy performed stably overall, and its structure was continuously improved. GDP increased from less than 70 trillion yuan to over 100 trillion yuan. Much was accomplished toward making China a country of innovators, with major advances in manned spaceflight, lunar exploration, deep-sea engineering, supercomputing, quantum information, and other areas. China’s success in poverty alleviation has been recognized by the international community. Its entire rural poor population, 55.75 million in number, was lifted out of poverty, including more than 9.6 million registered poor people who were relocated from inhospitable areas; and regional poverty was successfully eradicated. The daunting task we set ourselves to eliminate absolute poverty has thus been successfully accomplished. Agricultural modernization was steadily advanced, and good harvests were recorded for five years running. The goal of granting urban residency to 100 million people from rural areas and other permanent residents without local household registration was met. More than 21 million housing units in run-down urban areas were rebuilt. Solid steps were taken to implement major regional development strategies. Pollution prevention and control efforts were intensified, resources and energy were used more efficiently, and there was a notable improvement in the environment. Important progress was made in addressing financial risks in this period. Major breakthroughs were achieved in deepening reform across the board. Supply-side structural reform was steadily advanced, as were reforms to streamline administration and delegate power, improve regulation, and upgrade services. Thanks to these efforts, the business environment kept improving. China continued to open its door wider to the world; the joint pursuit of the Belt and Road Initiative yielded solid outcomes. The living standards of our people rose significantly. Over 60 million urban jobs were added, and the world’s largest social security system was established. The system for granting living allowances to people with disabilities in financial difficulty and nursing care subsidies to people with serious disabilities was set up and implemented across the country. New achievements were made in education, healthcare, culture and other sectors. Education became much more equitable, and its quality was markedly improved. The healthcare sector registered accelerated development. The cultural sector flourished. Notable advances were made in the development of national defense and the armed forces. China’s national security was enhanced on all fronts, and social harmony and stability were maintained across the country. Thanks to our hard work in these five years, we accomplished the major goals and tasks of the 13th Five-Year Plan, and made a giant stride toward the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

根据《中共中央关于制定国民经济和社会发展第十四个五年规划和二〇三五年远景目标的建议》，国务院编制了《国民经济和社会发展第十四个五年规划和2035年远景目标纲要（草案）》。《纲要草案》坚持以习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想为指导，实化量化“十四五”时期经济社会发展主要目标和重大任务，全文提交大会审查，这里概述几个方面。

The State Council, acting in accordance with the Recommendations of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China for Formulating the 14th Five-Year Plan for Economic and Social Development and Long-Range Objectives through the Year 2035, has drawn up the draft Outline for the 14th Five-Year Plan for Economic and Social Development and Long-Range Objectives through the Year 2035. The draft Outline, which was formulated under the guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, sets major quantified objectives and tasks for economic and social development during the 14th Five-Year Plan period. The full draft has been submitted to this session for your deliberation and approval. The highlights of the draft Outline are as follows:

发展是解决我国一切问题的基础和关键。必须坚持新发展理念，把新发展理念完整、准确、全面贯穿发展全过程和各领域，引导各方面把工作重点放在提高发展质量和效益上，促进增长潜力充分发挥。经济运行保持在合理区间，各年度视情提出经济增长预期目标，全员劳动生产率增长高于国内生产总值增长，城镇调查失业率控制在5.5%以内，物价水平保持总体平稳，实现更高质量、更有效率、更加公平、更可持续、更为安全的发展。

Development is the foundation, and it holds the key, for addressing all the issues our country faces. We must stay true to the new development philosophy, and ensure it is applied in full, in both letter and spirit, in every stage and aspect of development. We should encourage people working in all sectors to give high priority to improving the quality and effectiveness of development to fully tap China’s growth potential. We will keep major economic indicators within an appropriate range, set annual targets for economic growth in light of actual conditions, ensure that overall labor productivity grows faster than GDP, keep the surveyed urban unemployment rate within 5.5 percent, and keep prices generally stable. Doing so will enable us to achieve higher-quality development that is more efficient, equitable, sustainable, and secure.

坚持创新在我国现代化建设全局中的核心地位，把科技自立自强作为国家发展的战略支撑。完善国家创新体系，加快构建以国家实验室为引领的战略科技力量，打好关键核心技术攻坚战，制定实施基础研究十年行动方案，提升企业技术创新能力，激发人才创新活力，完善科技创新体制机制，全社会研发经费投入年均增长7%以上、力争投入强度高于“十三五”时期实际。广泛开展科学普及活动。坚持把发展经济着力点放在实体经济上，推进产业基础高级化、产业链现代化，保持制造业比重基本稳定，改造提升传统产业，发展壮大战略性新兴产业，促进服务业繁荣发展。统筹推进传统基础设施和新型基础设施建设。加快数字化发展，打造数字经济新优势，协同推进数字产业化和产业数字化转型，加快数字社会建设步伐，提高数字政府建设水平，营造良好数字生态，建设数字中国。

Innovation remains at the heart of China’s modernization drive. We will strengthen our science and technology to provide strategic support for China’s development. To improve China’s innovation system, we will work faster to enhance our strategic scientific and technological capability underpinned by the development of national laboratories, strive to make major breakthroughs in core technologies in key fields, and formulate and implement a ten-year action plan for basic research. We will enhance the capacity of enterprises to make technological innovation, unlock the creativity of talent, and improve the systems and mechanisms for making scientific and technological innovation. China’s R&D spending will increase by more than seven percent per year, which is expected to account for a higher percentage of GDP than that during the 13th Five-Year Plan period. Extensive activities will be conducted to help people learn more about science. In pursuing economic growth, we will continue to prioritize the development of the real economy, upgrade the industrial base, modernize industrial chains, and keep the share of manufacturing in the economy basically stable. We will transform and upgrade traditional industries, strengthen strategic emerging industries, and promote the vigorous development of the service sector. Coordinated development of traditional and new forms of infrastructure will be promoted. Digitalization will be sped up to create new strengths for the digital economy. We will both develop digital industry and transform traditional industries with digital technologies. We will work faster to develop a digital society, digital government, and healthy digital ecosystem as we pursue the Digital China initiative.

把实施扩大内需战略同深化供给侧结构性改革有机结合起来，以创新驱动、高质量供给引领和创造新需求。破除制约要素合理流动的堵点，贯通生产、分配、流通、消费各环节，形成国民经济良性循环。立足国内大循环，协同推进强大国内市场和贸易强国建设，依托国内经济循环体系形成对全球要素资源的强大引力场，促进国内国际双循环。建立扩大内需的有效制度，全面促进消费，拓展投资空间，加快培育完整内需体系。

We will pursue the strategy of expanding domestic demand and intensify supply-side structural reform, and generate new demand with innovation-driven development and high-quality supply. We will remove impediments to the rational flow of production factors along all links of production, allocation, distribution, and consumption to facilitate favorable circulation in our economy. We will give priority to domestic circulation, and work to build a strong domestic market and turn China into a trader of quality. We will leverage the flows of the domestic economy to make China a major magnet for global production factors and resources, thereby promoting positive interplay between domestic circulation and international circulation. We will put in place frameworks to effectively expand domestic demand, boost consumer spending across the board, and unlock the potential for investment, thus accelerating the establishment of a complete system of domestic demand.
