1、During the Eleventh Five-Year Plan Period The Eleventh Five-Year Plan period was a truly extraordinary time in thecourse of the countrys development. In the face of complex domestic andinternational situations and a series of major risks and challenges, theCommunist Party of China (CPC) united with
2、and led the people of all thecountrys ethnic groups in comprehensively advancing reform, opening up andmodernization, bringing about a historic change in China over the past fiveyears. - The countrys productive forces and overall national strength improvedsignificantly. We effectively warded off the
3、 impact of the global financial crisis,maintained steady and rapid economic development and fulfilled the majorobjectives and tasks of the Eleventh Five-Year Plan, and the economy scalednew heights. GDP grew at an average annual rate of 11.2% to reach 39.8 trillionyuan. Government revenue increased
4、from 3.16 trillion yuan to 8.31 trillionyuan. Major breakthroughs were attained in cutting-edge science andtechnology such as the manned space mission, the lunar exploration programand supercomputers. Great progress was made in the modernization of nationaldefense and the army. - Progress in all soc
5、ial programs accelerated and peoples lives improvedsignificantly. Comprehensive progress was made in education, science andtechnology, culture, public health and sports programs. The number of newurban jobs increased by 57.71 million, and 45 million agricultural workersfound urban employment. The pe
6、r capita disposable income of urban residentsrose by an annual average of 9.7% and the per capita net income of ruralresidents by 8.9% in real terms. The social security system covering both urbanand rural areas was progressively refined. - Major progress was made in reform and opening up. New break
7、throughswere achieved in crucial areas and key links of reform, and the socialist marketeconomy further improved. Last year, total foreign trade volume reached US$2.97 trillion and the openness ofthe economy increased rapidly. - Chinas international prestige and influence grew significantly. We play
8、edan important and constructive role in international affairs; effectivelysafeguarded our national sovereignty, security and development interests; andmade major progress in our all-around diplomacy. We successfully hosted theBeijing Olympics and Shanghai World Expo, thus fulfilling dreams the Chine
9、senation had cherished for a century. These brilliant achievements clearly show the advantages of socialism withChinese characteristics and the great power of reform and opening up. Theygreatly increased the confidence and pride of our people of all ethnic groups,strengthened the cohesiveness of the
10、 Chinese nation, and inspired us to forgeahead on our historic course. The following are our main accomplishments over the past five years: 1. Strengthening and improving macro-control, and spurring steady andrapid economic development We paid close attention to the orientation, focus and strength o
11、fmacro-control and kept a firm grasp on the initiative in our economic work. Inthe early stages of the Eleventh Five-Year Plan period, we adopted correctpolicies and measures to address overheated investment growth, the excessivetrade surplus, excess liquidity, and structural and imported inflation;
12、prevented emerging problems from evolving into trends; and preventedproblems in anyone area from becoming general problems. In the last two years,we responded coolly to the impact of the global financial crisis a crisis of aseverity seldom seen in the last century, made decisions scientifically andr
13、esolutely followed a proactive fiscal policy and moderately easy monetarypolicy. We steadfastly implemented a multi-point plan, greatly increasedgovernment spending and made structural tax reductions, carried out the planfor restructuring and reinvigorating key industries on a large scale, vigorousl
14、ypromoted innovation and increased support for work in science and technology,and substantially increased social security benefits. We steadfastly followed astrategy of expanding domestic demand; adopted policies and measures toencourage consumer spending; and increased urban and rural incomes,parti
15、cularly for low-income people. As a result, consumer spending grewsteadily and its structure constantly improved. We carried out a two-yearinvestment plan to increase spending by 4 trillion yuan, including 1.18 trillionyuan from the central government. Of this amount, 43.7% was invested inlow-income
16、 housing projects, projects to improve the wellbeing of ruralresidents, and social programs; 15.3% in innovation, restructuring, energyconservation, emissions reductions and ecological improvement; 23.6% inmajor infrastructure projects; and 14.8% in post-Wenchuan earthquake recoveryand reconstructio
17、n. Government spending guided and drove nongovernmentalinvestment, greatly increased domestic demand and effectively compensated forweak external demand. This helped to reverse the slowdown in economicgrowth in a relatively short time and make the Chinese economy the first in theworld to pick up aga
18、in. In this way, we not only got over the hard times andensured and improved the wellbeing of the people, but also laid a firmfoundation for long-term development. 2. Striving to do our work related to agriculture, rural areas, and farmerswell, and consolidating and strengthening the agricultural fo
19、undation Central government spending on agriculture, rural areas and fanners totalednearly 3 trillion yuan and grew at an average annual rate of more than 23%.Agricultural tax and various government charges were totally abolished, therebyending the history of farmers paying taxes on the crops they g
20、row and easingtheir annual burden by more than 133.5 billion yuan. We set up a subsidysystem for grain growers and a benefit subsidy system for major growing areas,and paid out 122.6 billion yuan in production subsidies to grain growers lastyear. Minimum purchase prices and temporary purchase and st
21、orage policieswere put in place for key grain varieties, and the minimum purchase prices forwheat and rice were raised by between 25% and 40%. We rigorouslysafeguarded arable land. We worked hard to make advances in agriculturalscience and technology. New record highs were set for grain production,
22、whichreached 545 billion kg last year, the seventh consecutive yearly increase. Theper capita net income of farmers continued to grow rapidly and reached 5,919yuan. We made steady progress with comprehensive reforms in the countrysideand fully implemented the reform of tenure in collective forests a
23、nd the systemfor managing state-owned farms. We accelerated agricultural and ruralinfrastructure development. We finished reinforcing 7,356 large andmedium-sized reservoirs and key small reservoirs and ensured the safety ofdrinking water for 215 million rural residents. Farmers lives constantlyimpro
24、ved and rural development entered a new era. 3. Strongly promoting economic restructuring and improving the qualityandperformance ofeconomic growth First, we accelerated industrial restructuring and innovation. We vigorouslycarried out technological upgrading in enterprises and enterprise mergers an
25、dreorganizations, which noticeably raised the overall level and competitivenessof Chinese industries, particularly equipment manufacturing. Strategic emergingindustries grew rapidly. We accelerated the development of the nationalinnovation system; carried out knowledge innovation projects and techno
26、logyinnovation projects; and made breakthroughs in urgently needed cutting-edgetechnologies, core technologies and key equipment technologies. A largenumber of research results have been applied in industrial production. Theservice industry developed quickly and the proportion it contributes to GDP
27、roseby 2.5 percentage points. We greatly accelerated infrastructure development. Weexpanded the railway system by 16,000 km over the past five years and the roadsystem by 639,000 km, including 33,000 km of expressways. We built,improved or expanded 33 airports and built or reinforced 17,000 km of dy
28、kes. Second, we made genuine progress in energy conservation, emissionsreduction, ecological improvement and environmental protection. Weformulated policies, measures and national objectives for controllinggreenhouse gas emissions by 2020 and drew up a comprehensive work plan forconserving energy an
29、d reducing emissions. We vigorously developed cleanenergy. New power generating units with a capacity of 445 million kW were puton line, including hydropower plants with 96.01 million kW capacity andnuclear pmver plants with 3.84 million kW capacity. We decommissioned smallthermal power plants with
30、a capacity of 72.1 million kW and eliminated anumber of outdated coal, steel, cement and coke production facilities. We madeprogress on key ecological forestry projects, and afforested a total of 25.29million hectares. We applied a combination of approaches to control soil erosionon 230,000 km2 of land, and strengthened efforts to control water and airpollution in key watersheds, prevent and
