The EighteenthNational Congress is one of great importance being held whenChinahas entered the decisive stage ofcompleting the building of a moderately prosperous society in all respects. Theunderlying theme of the congress is to hold high the great banner of socialismwith Chinese characteristics, follow the guidance of Deng Xiaoping Theory, theimportant thought of Three Represents and the Scientific Outlook onDevelopment, free up the mind, implement the policy of reform and opening up,pool our strength, overcome all difficulties, firmly march on the path ofsocialism with Chinese characteristics, and strive to complete the building ofa moderately prosperous society in all respects.

At this momentwhen I address you, we are convinced that thanks to over 90 years of hardstruggle, our Party has rallied and led the people of all ethnic groups of thecountry in turning the poor and backward old China into an increasinglyprosperous and powerful new China and opening up bright prospects for the greatrenewal of the Chinese nation. We are all the more proud of the historicachievements of the Party and the people, we are all the more firm in the idealand conviction of the Party and the people, and we are all the more aware ofthe historic responsibility of the Party.

同时，必须清醒看到，我们工作中还存在许多不足，前进道路上还有不少困难和问题。主要是：发展中不平衡、不协调、不可持续问题依然突出，科技创新能力不强，产业结构不合理，农业基础依然薄弱，资源环境约束加剧，制约科学发展的体制机制障碍较多，深化改革开放和转变经济发展方式任务艰巨；城乡区域发展差距和居民收入分配差距依然较大；社会矛盾明显增多，教育、就业、社会保障、医疗、住房、生态环境、食品药品安全、安全生产、社会治安、执法司法等关系群众切身利益的问题较多，部分群众生活比较困难；一些领域存在道德失范、诚信缺失现象；一些干部领导科学发展能力不强，一些基层党组织软弱涣散，少数党员干部理想信念动摇、宗旨意识淡薄，形式主义、官僚主义问题突出，奢侈浪费现象严重；一些领域消极腐败现象易发多发，反腐败斗争形势依然严峻。对这些困难和问题，我们必须高度重视，进一步认真加以解决。
On the otherhand, we must be keenly aware that there is still much room for improvement inour work and there are a lot of difficulties and problems on our road ahead.They include the following: Unbalanced, uncoordinated and unsustainabledevelopment remains a big problem. The capacity for scientific andtechnological innovation is weak. The industrial structure is unbalanced. Agriculturalinfrastructure remains weak. Resource and environmental constraints have becomemore serious. Many systemic barriers stand in the way of promoting developmentin a scientific way. The tasks of deepening reform and opening up and changingthe growth model remain arduous. The development gap between urban and ruralareas and between regions is still large, and so are income disparities. Socialproblems have increased markedly. There are many problems affecting people'simmediate interests in education, employment, social security, healthcare,housing, the ecological environment, food and drug safety, workplace safety,public security, law enforcement, administration of justice, etc. Some peoplestill lead hard lives. There is a lack of ethics and integrity in some fieldsof endeavor. Some officials are not competent to pursue development in ascientific way. Some community-level Party organizations are weak and lax. Asmall number of Party members and officials waver in the Party's ideal andconviction and are not fully aware of its purpose. Going through formalitiesand bureaucratism as well as extravagance and waste are serious problems. Somesectors are prone to corruption and other misconduct, and the fight againstcorruption remains a serious challenge for us. We must take these difficultiesand problems very seriously and work harder to resolve them.
过去五年的工作，是十六大以来全面建设小康社会十年实践的重要组成部分。
Our work in thepast five years is an important part of our endeavor to build a moderatelyprosperous society in all respects in the past ten years since the SixteenthNational Congress of the Party.
这十年，我们紧紧抓住和用好我国发展的重要战略机遇期，战胜一系列重大挑战，奋力把中国特色社会主义推进到新的发展阶段。进入新世纪新阶段，国际局势风云变幻，综合国力竞争空前激烈，我们深化改革开放，加快发展步伐，以加入世界贸易组织为契机，变压力为动力，化挑战为机遇，坚定不移推进全面建设小康社会进程。前进过程中，我们战胜突如其来的非典疫情，认真总结我国发展实践，准确把握我国发展的阶段性特征，及时提出和全面贯彻科学发展观等重大战略思想，开拓了经济社会发展的广阔空间。二００八年以后，国际金融危机使我国发展遭遇严重困难，我们科学判断、果断决策，采取一系列重大举措，在全球率先实现经济企稳回升，积累了有效应对外部经济风险冲击、保持经济平稳较快发展的重要经验。我们成功举办北京奥运会、残奥会和上海世博会，夺取抗击汶川特大地震等严重自然灾害和灾后恢复重建重大胜利，妥善处置一系列重大突发事件。在十分复杂的国内外形势下，党和人民经受住严峻考验，巩固和发展了改革开放和社会主义现代化建设大局，提高了我国国际地位，彰显了中国特色社会主义的巨大优越性和强大生命力，增强了中国人民和中华民族的自豪感和凝聚力。
During these tenyears, we have seized and made the most of the important period of strategicopportunities forChina'sdevelopment, successfully met major challenges and brought socialism with Chinesecharacteristics to a new stage of development. Facing a volatile globalenvironment and fierce competition in overall national strength unseen beforein this new stage in the new century, we have deepened reform and opening upand accelerated development. We tookChina's accession to the World Trade Organization as an opportunity toturn pressure into motivation and turn challenges into opportunities, and wehave forged ahead in building a moderately prosperous society in all respects.While we were on the way, we overcame the unexpected outbreak of the severeacute respiratory syndrome (SARS). On the basis of reviewing China'sdevelopment practices, we gained a good understanding of the essential featuresof its development in the current stage, set forth in a timely way majorstrategic thinking including the Scientific Outlook on Development, and havefully applied it, and thus greatly expanded the space for economic and socialdevelopment. After 2008, the global financial crisis caused acute difficultiestoChina's development. By making resolutedecisions and taking major countermeasures on the basis of sizing up theoverall development in a scientific way, we madeChina's economy the first in the worldto make a turnaround, and we have gained important experience in effectivelydefusing external economic risks and maintaining steady and robust growth. Wesuccessfully hosted the Games of the XXIX Olympiad and the XIII ParalympicGames inBeijingand the World Expo inShanghai. We won great victories inresponding to the massive Wenchuan earthquake inSichuanProvinceand other natural disasters and inpost-disaster recovery and reconstruction and settled major emergencies.Bracing ourselves against complex domestic and international developments, ourParty and people have stood severe tests, consolidated and developed the causeof reform and opening up and socialist modernization, and raised China'sinternational standing. All this shows the superiority and vitality ofsocialism with Chinese characteristics and has enhanced the pride andcohesiveness of the Chinese people and nation.
十年来，我们取得一系列新的历史性成就，为全面建成小康社会打下了坚实基础。我国经济总量从世界第六位跃升到第二位，社会生产力、经济实力、科技实力迈上一个大台阶，人民生活水平、居民收入水平、社会保障水平迈上一个大台阶，综合国力、国际竞争力、国际影响力迈上一个大台阶，国家面貌发生新的历史性变化。人们公认，这是我国经济持续发展、民主不断健全、文化日益繁荣、社会保持稳定的时期，是着力保障和改善民生、人民得到实惠更多的时期。我们能取得这样的历史性成就，靠的是党的基本理论、基本路线、基本纲领、基本经验的正确指引，靠的是新中国成立以来特别是改革开放以来奠定的深厚基础，靠的是全党全国各族人民的团结奋斗。
Over the pastten years, we have achieved new historic successes and laid a solid foundationfor completing the building of a moderately prosperous society in all respects.China's economy has risen from the sixthto the second place in the world. The country has undergone new historicchanges: Its productive forces and economic, scientific and technologicalstrength have increased considerably, the people's living standards, individualincome and social security have improved significantly, and its overallnational strength and international competitiveness and influence have beenenhanced substantially. During this period,Chinahas seen continuous economicdevelopment, steady improvement in democracy, and increasing culturalprosperity and social stability, and we have worked hard to ensure and improvethe people's wellbeing and brought them more benefits than ever before. And allthis is widely recognized. These historic successes are attributable to thecorrect guidance of the Party's basic theory, line, program and experience;they have been achieved on the firm foundation laid since the founding of NewChina in 1949 and particularly since the adoption of the policy of reform andopening up in 1978; and they are the fruits of the united efforts of the wholeParty and the people of all ethnic groups in China.
在这里，我代表中共中央，向全国各族人民，向各民主党派、各人民团体和各界爱国人士，向香港特别行政区同胞、澳门特别行政区同胞和台湾同胞以及广大侨胞，向一切关心和支持中国现代化建设的各国朋友，表示衷心的感谢！
Here, on behalfof the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, I wish to express ourheartfelt thanks to the people of all ethnic groups in China, to the democraticparties, people's organizations and patriots from all walks of life, to ourcompatriots in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, the Macao SpecialAdministrative Region and Taiwan as well as overseas Chinese, and to ourforeign friends who view favorably and support China's modernization drive.
总结十年奋斗历程，最重要的就是我们坚持以马克思列宁主义、毛泽东思想、邓小平理论、“三个代表”重要思想为指导，勇于推进实践基础上的理论创新，围绕坚持和发展中国特色社会主义提出一系列紧密相连、相互贯通的新思想、新观点、新论断，形成和贯彻了科学发展观。科学发展观是马克思主义同当代中国实际和时代特征相结合的产物，是马克思主义关于发展的世界观和方法论的集中体现，对新形势下实现什么样的发展、怎样发展等重大问题作出了新的科学回答，把我们对中国特色社会主义规律的认识提高到新的水平，开辟了当代中国马克思主义发展新境界。科学发展观是中国特色社会主义理论体系最新成果，是中国共产党集体智慧的结晶，是指导党和国家全部工作的强大思想武器。科学发展观同马克思列宁主义、毛泽东思想、邓小平理论、“三个代表”重要思想一道，是党必须长期坚持的指导思想。
The mostimportant achievement in our endeavors in the past ten years is that we haveformed the Scientific Outlook on Development and put it into practice byfollowing the guidance of Marxism-Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought, Deng XiaopingTheory and the important thought of Three Represents and by making courageoustheoretical innovations on the basis of practices and developing closelyinterconnected new ideas and viewpoints on upholding and building socialismwith Chinese characteristics. The Scientific Outlook on Development was createdby integrating Marxism with the reality of contemporaryChinaand with the underlying features of ourtimes, and it fully embodies the Marxist worldview on and methodology fordevelopment. This theory provides new scientific answers to the major questionsof what kind of developmentChinashould achieve in a new environment andhow the country should achieve it. It represents a new level of ourunderstanding of the laws of socialism with Chinese characteristics and reachesa new realm in the development of Marxism in contemporaryChina. The Scientific Outlook onDevelopment is the latest achievement in developing the system of theories ofsocialism with Chinese characteristics, and it is the crystallization of thecollective wisdom of the Communist Party of China and a powerful theoreticalweapon for guiding all the work of the Party and country. Together withMarxism-Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory and the importantthought of Three Represents, the Scientific Outlook on Development is thetheoretical guidance the Party must adhere to for a long time.
面向未来，深入贯彻落实科学发展观，对坚持和发展中国特色社会主义具有重大现实意义和深远历史意义，必须把科学发展观贯彻到我国现代化建设全过程、体现到党的建设各方面。全党必须更加自觉地把推动经济社会发展作为深入贯彻落实科学发展观的第一要义，牢牢扭住经济建设这个中心，坚持聚精会神搞建设、一心一意谋发展，着力把握发展规律、创新发展理念、破解发展难题，深入实施科教兴国战略、人才强国战略、可持续发展战略，加快形成符合科学发展要求的发展方式和体制机制，不断解放和发展社会生产力，不断实现科学发展、和谐发展、和平发展，为坚持和发展中国特色社会主义打下牢固基础。必须更加自觉地把以人为本作为深入贯彻落实科学发展观的核心立场，始终把实现好、维护好、发展好最广大人民根本利益作为党和国家一切工作的出发点和落脚点，尊重人民首创精神，保障人民各项权益，不断在实现发展成果由人民共享、促进人的全面发展上取得新成效。必须更加自觉地把全面协调可持续作为深入贯彻落实科学发展观的基本要求，全面落实经济建设、政治建设、文化建设、社会建设、生态文明建设五位一体总体布局，促进现代化建设各方面相协调，促进生产关系与生产力、上层建筑与经济基础相协调，不断开拓生产发展、生活富裕、生态良好的文明发展道路。必须更加自觉地把统筹兼顾作为深入贯彻落实科学发展观的根本方法，坚持一切从实际出发，正确认识和妥善处理中国特色社会主义事业中的重大关系，统筹改革发展稳定、内政外交国防、治党治国治军各方面工作，统筹城乡发展、区域发展、经济社会发展、人与自然和谐发展、国内发展和对外开放，统筹各方面利益关系，充分调动各方面积极性，努力形成全体人民各尽其能、各得其所而又和谐相处的局面。
As we advancetoward the future, thoroughly applying the Scientific Outlook on Development isof major immediate significance and far-reaching historical significance forupholding and developing socialism with Chinese characteristics. We must applyit throughout the course of modernization and to every aspect of Partybuilding.
The whole Partymust more purposefully make promoting economic and social development the toppriority in applying the Scientific Outlook on Development. We must pursueeconomic development as the central task and concentrate on it with everydetermination. We should master the laws of development, develop new thinkingon development and solve problems hindering development. We must implement thestrategies for makingChinastrong by developing science andeducation and training competent personnel and the strategy for pursuingsustainable development. We must step up efforts to create development modelsas well as institutions and mechanisms that facilitate development in ascientific way. We must continue to release and develop the productive forcesand promote scientific, harmonious and peaceful development so as to lay asolid foundation for upholding and developing socialism with Chinesecharacteristics.
The whole Partymust more purposefully take putting people first as the core requirement forthoroughly applying the Scientific Outlook on Development. We must always makerealizing, safeguarding and developing the fundamental interests of theoverwhelming majority of the people the starting point and goal of all the workof the Party and country. We must respect the people's creativity, protecttheir rights and interests, and make continued progress in enabling the peopleto share in the fruits of development and in promoting well-rounded developmentof the person.
The whole Partymust more purposefully make pursuing comprehensive, balanced and sustainabledevelopment the basic requirement for applying the Scientific Outlook onDevelopment. We must fully implement the overall plan for promoting economic,political, cultural, social, and ecological progress, ensure coordinatedprogress in all areas of endeavors in the modernization drive, balance therelations of production with the productive forces as well as thesuperstructure with the economic base, and continue to expand the path of developmentthat leads to increased production, prosperity and a good ecosystem.
The whole Partymust more purposefully take the holistic approach as the fundamental way ofthoroughly applying the Scientific Outlook on Development. We must baseourselves on reality in everything we do, gain a full understanding of themajor issues in the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics and handlethem properly. We must take a holistic approach to our work relating to reform,development and stability, to domestic and foreign affairs as well as nationaldefense, and to running the Party, the country and the military. We mustcoordinate urban and rural development, development between regions, economicand social development, relations between man and nature, and domesticdevelopment and opening to the outside world. We must balance the interests ofall parties and keep them fully motivated so that all people do their best,find their proper places in society and live in harmony.
解放思想、实事求是、与时俱进、求真务实，是科学发展观最鲜明的精神实质。实践发展永无止境，认识真理永无止境，理论创新永无止境。全党一定要勇于实践、勇于变革、勇于创新，把握时代发展要求，顺应人民共同愿望，不懈探索和把握中国特色社会主义规律，永葆党的生机活力，永葆国家发展动力，在党和人民创造性实践中奋力开拓中国特色社会主义更为广阔的发展前景。
Freeing up the mind, seeking truth from facts, keeping up with the timesand being realistic and pragmatic - these are the salient features of theScientific Outlook on Development. There is no end to practice, to seekingtruth, or to making theoretical innovations. The whole Party must boldly engagein practice and make changes and innovations. We must respond to the call ofthe times, follow the aspirations of the people and explore and master the lawsof socialism with Chinese characteristics. We must ensure that the Party isalways full of vigor and thatChinaalways has the driving force fordevelopment. By doing so, we will open up a bright future for developingsocialism with Chinese characteristics through the creative practices of theParty and the people
二、夺取中国特色社会主义新胜利
II. AchievingNew Victory for Socialism with Chinese Characteristics
回首近代以来中国波澜壮阔的历史，展望中华民族充满希望的未来，我们得出一个坚定的结论：全面建成小康社会，加快推进社会主义现代化，实现中华民族伟大复兴，必须坚定不移走中国特色社会主义道路。
Looking back atChina's eventfulmodern history and looking to the promising future of the Chinese nation, wehave drawn this definite conclusion: We must unswervingly follow the path of socialismwith Chinese characteristics in order to complete the building of a moderatelyprosperous society in all respects, accelerate socialist modernization, andachieve the great renewal of the Chinese nation.
道路关乎党的命脉，关乎国家前途、民族命运、人民幸福。在中国这样一个经济文化十分落后的国家探索民族复兴道路，是极为艰巨的任务。九十多年来，我们党紧紧依靠人民，把马克思主义基本原理同中国实际和时代特征结合起来，独立自主走自己的路，历经千辛万苦，付出各种代价，取得革命建设改革伟大胜利，开创和发展了中国特色社会主义，从根本上改变了中国人民和中华民族的前途命运。
The issue of what path we take is of vital importance for the survival ofthe Party, the future ofChina, thedestiny of the Chinese nation, and the wellbeing of the people. Exploring apath to national renewal inChinathat was economically and culturallybackward is an extremely arduous task. Over the past 90-plus years, relyingfirmly on the people and adapting the basic tenets of Marxism toChina's conditions and the underlyingtrend of the times, our Party has pursued its own course independently. It has,enduring untold hardships and sufferings and paying various costs, achievedgreat success in revolution, development and reform, and created and developedsocialism with Chinese characteristics, thus fundamentally changing the futureand destiny of the Chinese people and nation.
以毛泽东同志为核心的党的第一代中央领导集体带领全党全国各族人民完成了新民主主义革命，进行了社会主义改造，确立了社会主义基本制度，成功实现了中国历史上最深刻最伟大的社会变革，为当代中国一切发展进步奠定了根本政治前提和制度基础。在探索过程中，虽然经历了严重曲折，但党在社会主义建设中取得的独创性理论成果和巨大成就，为新的历史时期开创中国特色社会主义提供了宝贵经验、理论准备、物质基础。
The Party's first generation of central collective leadership with ComradeMao Zedong at the core led the whole Party and the people of all ethnic groupsinChinain completing the new-democraticrevolution, carrying out socialist transformation and establishing the basicsystem of socialism, thereby accomplishing the most profound and the greatestsocial transformation inChina's history.This created the fundamental political prerequisite and systemic foundation fordevelopment and progress in contemporaryChina. In the course of socialistdevelopment, the Party developed distinctively creative theories and madetremendous successes despite serious setbacks it went through, thus providinginvaluable experience as well as the theoretical and material basis forlaunching the great initiative of building socialism with Chinesecharacteristics in the new historical period.
以邓小平同志为核心的党的第二代中央领导集体带领全党全国各族人民深刻总结我国社会主义建设正反两方面经验，借鉴世界社会主义历史经验，作出把党和国家工作中心转移到经济建设上来、实行改革开放的历史性决策，深刻揭示社会主义本质，确立社会主义初级阶段基本路线，明确提出走自己的路、建设中国特色社会主义，科学回答了建设中国特色社会主义的一系列基本问题，成功开创了中国特色社会主义。
The Party's second generation of central collective leadership withComrade Deng Xiaoping at the core led the whole Party and the people of allethnic groups inChinain conducting a thorough review ofChina's experiences in buildingsocialism, both positive and negative. On this basis and drawing on theexperience of world socialism, they made the historic decision to shift thefocus of the Party and country's work to economic development and to pursue thepolicy of reform and opening up. They gained a keen appreciation of theunderlying goal of socialism and established the Party's basic line for theprimary stage of socialism.

Throughout the past 30-plus years of continuous exploration for reform andopening up, we have held high the great banner of socialism with Chinesecharacteristics and rejected both the old and rigid closed-door policy and anyattempt to abandon socialism and take an erroneous path. The path of socialismwith Chinese characteristics, the system of theories of socialism with Chinesecharacteristics and the socialist system with Chinese characteristics are thefundamental accomplishments made by the Party and people in the course ofarduous struggle over the past 90-plus years. We must cherish theseaccomplishments, uphold them all the time and continue to enrich them.
中国特色社会主义道路，就是在中国共产党领导下，立足基本国情，以经济建设为中心，坚持四项基本原则，坚持改革开放，解放和发展社会生产力，建设社会主义市场经济、社会主义民主政治、社会主义先进文化、社会主义和谐社会、社会主义生态文明，促进人的全面发展，逐步实现全体人民共同富裕，建设富强民主文明和谐的社会主义现代化国家。中国特色社会主义理论体系，就是包括邓小平理论、“三个代表”重要思想、科学发展观在内的科学理论体系，是对马克思列宁主义、毛泽东思想的坚持和发展。中国特色社会主义制度，就是人民代表大会制度的根本政治制度，中国共产党领导的多党合作和政治协商制度、民族区域自治制度以及基层群众自治制度等基本政治制度，中国特色社会主义法律体系，公有制为主体、多种所有制经济共同发展的基本经济制度，以及建立在这些制度基础上的经济体制、政治体制、文化体制、社会体制等各项具体制度。中国特色社会主义道路是实现途径，中国特色社会主义理论体系是行动指南，中国特色社会主义制度是根本保障，三者统一于中国特色社会主义伟大实践，这是党领导人民在建设社会主义长期实践中形成的最鲜明特色。

It also means we must promote well-rounded development ofthe person, achieve prosperity for all over time, and makeChinaa modern socialist country that isprosperous, strong, democratic, culturally advanced and harmonious. The systemof theories of socialism with Chinese characteristics is a system of scientifictheories that includes Deng Xiaoping Theory, the important thought of ThreeRepresents and the Scientific Outlook on Development, and this systemrepresents the Party's adherence to and development of Marxism-Leninism and MaoZedong Thought. The socialist system with Chinese characteristics includes thefollowing: the fundamental political system - the system of people'scongresses; the basic political systems - the system of multiparty cooperationand political consultation under the leadership of the Communist Party ofChina, the system of regional ethnic autonomy, and the system ofcommunity-level self-governance; the socialist system of laws with Chinesecharacteristics; the basic economic system in which public ownership is themainstay and economic entities of diverse ownership develop together; and thespecific economic, political, cultural, and social institutions based on thesesystems.

Socialism with Chinesecharacteristics both upholds the basic principles of scientific socialism andhas distinctive Chinese features that reflect contemporary conditions. Itoffers from new perspectives a deeper understanding of the laws of governanceby the Communist Party, laws of building socialism, and laws of the developmentof human society. By integrating theory with practice, it has systematically addressedthe fundamental questions of what kind of socialism we should build and how weshould build it inChina, a bigcountry in the East with a huge population and a weak economy to start with.Socialism with Chinese characteristics has brought about fast development andrising living standards inChina. Thisfully shows that socialism with Chinese characteristics is what we must pursueif we are to achieve development and make progress in contemporaryChinaand that only socialism with Chinesecharacteristics can enableChinato develop itself.

This basic condition ofChinahas not changed; nor has the principalproblem in our society, that is, how we can meet the ever-growing material andcultural needs of the people with backward social production; nor hasChina's international position as thelargest developing country in the world. We must bear in mind under anycircumstances the paramount reality thatChinaremains in the primary stage ofsocialism and will long remain so and base ourselves on this reality inpursuing all of our endeavors of reform and development.

An examination of both the current international and domestic environmentsshows thatChinaremains in an important period ofstrategic opportunities for its development, a period in which much can beachieved. We need to have a correct understanding of the changing nature andconditions of this period, seize all opportunities, respond withcool-headedness to challenges, and gain initiative and advantages to win thefuture and attain the goal of completing the building of a moderatelyprosperous society in all respects by 2020.

More cultural works should be created; a systemof public cultural services should be basically in place, and the culturalsector should become a pillar of the economy. Even greater progress should bemade in taking Chinese culture to the global stage. By taking these steps, wewill lay a more solid foundation for developing a strong socialist culture inChina.

To complete the building of a moderately prosperous society in allrespects, we must, with greater political courage and vision, lose no time indeepening reform in key sectors and resolutely discard all notions and systemsthat hinder efforts to pursue development in a scientific way. We should set upa well-developed, scientific, procedure-based and effective framework ofsystems and ensure that operating institutions in all sectors are fullyfunctioning. We should speed up improvements to the socialist market economy.We should improve the basic economic system in which public ownership is themainstay of the economy and economic entities of diverse ownership developtogether, and we should improve the system of income distribution in whichdistribution according to work is the main form that coexists with other formsof distribution. We should leverage to a greater extent and in a wider scopethe basic role of the market in allocating resources, improve the system ofmacro-regulation, and perfect the open economy to ensure more efficient, equitableand sustainable economic development.

We should encourage areas with good conditions tokeep taking the lead in pursuing modernization and to make greater contributionto nationwide reform and development.
四、加快完善社会主义市场经济体制和加快转变经济发展方式
IV.Accelerating the Improvement of the Socialist Market Economy and the Change ofthe Growth Model
以经济建设为中心是兴国之要，发展仍是解决我国所有问题的关键。只有推动经济持续健康发展，才能筑牢国家繁荣富强、人民幸福安康、社会和谐稳定的物质基础。必须坚持发展是硬道理的战略思想，决不能有丝毫动摇。
Taking economic development as the central task is vital to nationalrenewal, and development still holds the key to addressing all the problems wehave inChina. Only bypromoting sustained and sound economic development can we lay a solid materialfoundation for enhancing the country's prosperity and strength, improving thepeople's wellbeing and ensuring social harmony and stability. We mustunwaveringly adhere to the strategic thinking that only development counts.
在当代中国，坚持发展是硬道理的本质要求就是坚持科学发展。以科学发展为主题，以加快转变经济发展方式为主线，是关系我国发展全局的战略抉择。要适应国内外经济形势新变化，加快形成新的经济发展方式，把推动发展的立足点转到提高质量和效益上来，着力激发各类市场主体发展新活力，着力增强创新驱动发展新动力，着力构建现代产业发展新体系，着力培育开放型经济发展新优势，使经济发展更多依靠内需特别是消费需求拉动，更多依靠现代服务业和战略性新兴产业带动，更多依靠科技进步、劳动者素质提高、管理创新驱动，更多依靠节约资源和循环经济推动，更多依靠城乡区域发展协调互动，不断增强长期发展后劲。
In contemporaryChina, pursuingdevelopment in a scientific way best embodies the thinking that onlydevelopment counts. Taking the pursuit of development in a scientific way asthe underlying guideline and accelerating the change of the growth model as amajor task is a strategic choice we have made for promotingChina's overall development. In responseto changes in both domestic and international economic developments, we shouldspeed up the creation of a new growth model and ensure that development isbased on improved quality and performance. We should fire all types of marketparticipants with new vigor for development, increase motivation for pursuinginnovation-driven development, establish a new system for developing modernindustries, and create new favorable conditions for developing the openeconomy. This will make economic development driven more by domestic demand,especially consumer demand, by a modern service industry and strategic emergingindustries, by scientific and technological progress, by a workforce of higherquality and innovation in management, by resource conservation and a circulareconomy, and by coordinated and mutually reinforcing urban-rural developmentand development between regions. Taking these steps will enable us to sustainlong-term development.
坚持走中国特色新型工业化、信息化、城镇化、农业现代化道路，推动信息化和工业化深度融合、工业化和城镇化良性互动、城镇化和农业现代化相互协调，促进工业化、信息化、城镇化、农业现代化同步发展。
We should keep to the Chinese-style path of carrying out industrializationin a new way and advancing IT application, urbanization and agriculturalmodernization. We should promote integration of IT application andindustrialization, interaction between industrialization and urbanization, andcoordination between urbanization and agricultural modernization, thus promotingharmonized development of industrialization, IT application, urbanization andagricultural modernization.
（一）全面深化经济体制改革。深化改革是加快转变经济发展方式的关键。经济体制改革的核心问题是处理好政府和市场的关系，必须更加尊重市场规律，更好发挥政府作用。要毫不动摇巩固和发展公有制经济，推行公有制多种实现形式，深化国有企业改革，完善各类国有资产管理体制，推动国有资本更多投向关系国家安全和国民经济命脉的重要行业和关键领域，不断增强国有经济活力、控制力、影响力。毫不动摇鼓励、支持、引导非公有制经济发展，保证各种所有制经济依法平等使用生产要素、公平参与市场竞争、同等受到法律保护。健全现代市场体系，加强宏观调控目标和政策手段机制化建设。加快改革财税体制，健全中央和地方财力与事权相匹配的体制，完善促进基本公共服务均等化和主体功能区建设的公共财政体系，构建地方税体系，形成有利于结构优化、社会公平的税收制度。建立公共资源出让收益合理共享机制。深化金融体制改革，健全促进宏观经济稳定、支持实体经济发展的现代金融体系，加快发展多层次资本市场，稳步推进利率和汇率市场化改革，逐步实现人民币资本项目可兑换。加快发展民营金融机构。完善金融监管，推进金融创新，提高银行、证券、保险等行业竞争力，维护金融稳定。
1. Deepen economic structural reform across the board
Deepening reform is crucial for accelerating the change of the growthmodel. The underlying issue we face in economic structural reform is how tostrike a balance between the role of the government and that of the market, andwe should follow more closely the rules of the market and better play the roleof the government. We should unwaveringly consolidate and develop the publicsector of the economy; allow public ownership to take diverse forms; deepenreform of state-owned enterprises; improve the mechanisms for managing alltypes of state assets; and invest more of state capital in major industries andkey fields that comprise the lifeline of the economy and are vital to nationalsecurity. We should thus steadily enhance the vitality of the state-ownedsector of the economy and its capacity to leverage and influence the economy.At the same time, we must unswervingly encourage, support and guide thedevelopment of the non-public sector, and ensure that economic entities underall forms of ownership have equal access to factors of production in accordancewith the law, compete on a level playing field and are protected by the law asequals. We should improve the modern market system and strengthen institutionalprocedures for setting macro-regulation targets and employing policy tools. Weshould accelerate the reform of the fiscal and taxation systems and ensure thatthe central and local governments have sufficient financial resources toexercise their respective powers and fulfill their respective responsibilities.We should improve the public finance system to ensure equal access to basicpublic services and promote the building of functional zones. We should alsoinstitute local tax systems and improve the structure of the taxation system topromote social fairness. We should establish a mechanism for equitable sharingof proceeds from public resource transfers. We should deepen reform of thefinancial system and improve the modern financial system so that it will bettercontribute to macroeconomic stability and support development of the realeconomy. We should accelerate development of a multilevel capital market, takesteady steps to make interest rates and the RMB exchange rate moremarket-based, and promote the RMB's convertibility under capital accounts indue course.

五、坚持走中国特色社会主义政治发展道路和推进政治体制改革
V. Keeping tothe Socialist Path of Making Political Advance with Chinese Characteristics andPromoting Reform of the Political Structure
人民民主是我们党始终高扬的光辉旗帜。改革开放以来，我们总结发展社会主义民主正反两方面经验，强调人民民主是社会主义的生命，坚持国家一切权力属于人民，不断推进政治体制改革，社会主义民主政治建设取得重大进展，成功开辟和坚持了中国特色社会主义政治发展道路，为实现最广泛的人民民主确立了正确方向。
People's democracy is a brilliant banner that has always been held high byour Party. Since the policy of reform and opening up was introduced, we havereviewed our experience, both positive and negative, in developing socialistdemocracy and reaffirmed that people's democracy is the life of socialism. Wehave ensured that all power of the state belongs to the people and worked tosteadily promote reform of the political structure. As a result, we have mademajor progress in developing socialist democracy and opened up and kept to thesocialist path of making political advance with Chinese characteristics, thuscharting the correct course for achieving the most extensive possible people'sdemocracy inChina.
政治体制改革是我国全面改革的重要组成部分。必须继续积极稳妥推进政治体制改革，发展更加广泛、更加充分、更加健全的人民民主。必须坚持党的领导、人民当家作主、依法治国有机统一，以保证人民当家作主为根本，以增强党和国家活力、调动人民积极性为目标，扩大社会主义民主，加快建设社会主义法治国家，发展社会主义政治文明。要更加注重改进党的领导方式和执政方式，保证党领导人民有效治理国家；更加注重健全民主制度、丰富民主形式，保证人民依法实行民主选举、民主决策、民主管理、民主监督；更加注重发挥法治在国家治理和社会管理中的重要作用，维护国家法制统一、尊严、权威，保证人民依法享有广泛权利和自由。要把制度建设摆在突出位置，充分发挥我国社会主义政治制度优越性，积极借鉴人类政治文明有益成果，绝不照搬西方政治制度模式。
The reform of the political structure is an important part ofChina's overall reform. We must continueto make both active and prudent efforts to carry out the reform of thepolitical structure, and make people's democracy more extensive, fuller inscope and sounder in practice. We must ensure the unity of the leadership ofthe Party, the position of the people as masters of the country and law-basedgovernance. To guarantee the fundamental position of the people as masters ofthe country and to reach the goal of enhancing the vitality of the Party andcountry and keeping the people fully motivated, we should expand socialistdemocracy, accelerate the building of a socialist country based on the rule oflaw, and promote socialist political progress. We should place greater emphasison improving the way the Party exercises leadership and governance to ensurethat it leads the people in effectively governing the country. We should attachgreater importance to improving the system of democracy and diversifying theforms of democracy to ensure that the people conduct democratic elections,decision-making, administration and oversight in accordance with the law. Weshould give greater scope to the important role the rule of law plays in thecountry's governance and in social management, uphold the unity, sanctity andauthority of the country's legal system and ensure that the people enjoyextensive rights and freedoms as prescribed by law. We should place highimportance on systemic building, give full play to the strength of thesocialist political system and draw on the political achievements of othersocieties. However, we will never copy a Western political system.
（一）支持和保证人民通过人民代表大会行使国家权力。人民代表大会制度是保证人民当家作主的根本政治制度。要善于使党的主张通过法定程序成为国家意志，支持人大及其常委会充分发挥国家权力机关作用，依法行使立法、监督、决定、任免等职权，加强立法工作组织协调，加强对“一府两院”的监督，加强对政府全口径预算决算的审查和监督。提高基层人大代表特别是一线工人、农民、知识分子代表比例，降低党政领导干部代表比例。在人大设立代表联络机构，完善代表联系群众制度。健全国家权力机关组织制度，优化常委会、专委会组成人员知识和年龄结构，提高专职委员比例，增强依法履职能力。

The system of people's congresses isChina's fundamental political system forguaranteeing that the people decide their own destiny. We should make good useof legal procedures to turn the Party's propositions into the will of thestate. We should support people's congresses and their standing committees infully playing their role as organs of state power, in exercising legislative,oversight, policymaking, and personnel appointment and dismissal powers inaccordance with the law, in strengthening organization and coordination oflegislative work, in stepping up their oversight of people's governments,courts and procuratorates, and in tightening examination and oversight of allgovernment budgets and final accounts. The proportion of community-leveldeputies to people's congresses, particularly those elected from among workers,farmers and intellectuals on the frontlines of various fields of endeavor shouldbe raised, while that of deputies from among leading Party and governmentofficials should be reduced. Deputy liaison offices should be established inpeople's congresses to improve the mechanism for deputies to maintain contactwith the people. The organizational system for organs of state power should beimproved. The age mix of the members of the standing committees and specialcommittees of people's congresses should be improved and the areas of theirexpertise should be widened. The proportion of the full-time members of thesecommittees should be raised. Deputies to people's congresses and members ofthese committees should enhance their capability to perform their dutiespursuant to law.
（二）健全社会主义协商民主制度。社会主义协商民主是我国人民民主的重要形式。要完善协商民主制度和工作机制，推进协商民主广泛、多层、制度化发展。通过国家政权机关、政协组织、党派团体等渠道，就经济社会发展重大问题和涉及群众切身利益的实际问题广泛协商，广纳群言、广集民智，增进共识、增强合力。坚持和完善中国共产党领导的多党合作和政治协商制度，充分发挥人民政协作为协商民主重要渠道作用，围绕团结和民主两大主题，推进政治协商、民主监督、参政议政制度建设，更好协调关系、汇聚力量、建言献策、服务大局。加强同民主党派的政治协商。把政治协商纳入决策程序，坚持协商于决策之前和决策之中，增强民主协商实效性。深入进行专题协商、对口协商、界别协商、提案办理协商。积极开展基层民主协商。

The Chinese People's PoliticalConsultative Conference should, focusing on the themes of unity and democracy,improve systems of political consultation, democratic oversight, andparticipation in the deliberation and administration of state affairs, anddeliver a better job in coordinating relations, pooling strength and makingproposals in the overall interests of the country. We should strengthenpolitical consultation with the democratic parties, make political consultationa part of the policymaking process, conduct consultations before and whenpolicy decisions are made, and make democratic consultation more effective.

An important way for the people to directly exercise their democraticrights in accordance with the law is for them to conduct self-management,self-service, self-education, and self-oversight in exercising urban and ruralcommunity governance, in managing community-level public affairs and in runningpublic service programs. We should improve the mechanism for community-levelself-governance under the leadership of community-level Party organizations tomake it full of vitality. We should broaden the scope and channels of suchself-governance and enrich its content and forms, with the focus on expandingorderly participation, promoting transparency in information, improvingdeliberation and consultation on public affairs, and strengthening oversight ofthe exercise of power, to ensure that the people have greater and more tangibledemocratic rights. We should rely wholeheartedly on the working class, improvethe democratic management system in enterprises and public institutions withworkers and employees' congress as its basic form, and protect workers andemployees' democratic rights to participate in management and oversight.Community-level organizations of various types should also get involved tointegrate government administration and community-level democracy.

Reform of the administrative system is a necessary requirement for makingthe superstructure compatible with the economic base. To reach the goal ofestablishing a socialist administrative system with Chinese characteristics, weshould separate government administration from the management of enterprises,state assets, public institutions, and social organizations, and build awell-structured, clean and efficient service-oriented government that hasscientifically defined functions and satisfies the people. We should deepen thereform of the system concerning matters subject to government examination andapproval, continue to streamline administration and delegate more power tolower levels, and make the government better perform its functions of creatinga favorable environment for development, providing quality public services, andmaintaining social fairness and justice. We should steadily advance the reformto establish larger government departments and improve division of functionsamong them. We should improve the structure of administrative setup andgeographical administrative divisions, experiment with the reform to placecounties and county-level cities directly under the jurisdiction of provincialgovernments where conditions permit, and deepen reform of the administrativesystem at the town and township level. We should exercise governmentadministration in an innovative way, increase public trust in the government,and improve its competence so as to make the government performance-oriented.We should strictly control the size of government bodies, cut the numbers oftheir leading officials, and reduce their administrative costs.

To ensure proper exercise of power, it is important to put power, Partyand government operations and personnel management under institutional checksand uphold people's right to stay informed about, participate in, express viewson, and oversee Party and government operations. We should make sure thatdecision-making, executive and oversight powers check each other and functionin concert and that government bodies exercise their powers in accordance withstatutory mandate and procedures. We should continue to conduct scientific,democratic, and law-based policymaking, improve decision-making mechanisms andprocedures, seek advice of think tanks, and establish sound mechanisms for decision-makingaccountability and remedy. Whenever we make a decision involving the immediateinterests of the people, we must solicit their views on it.

We should launch major projects for restoring theecosystem, increase our capacity for producing ecological products, takeintegrated steps to control desertification, stony deserts and soil erosion,enlarge forests, lakes and wetlands, and protect biodiversity. We shouldaccelerate construction of water conservancy projects, and enhance our capacityfor responding to floods, drought and waterlogging in urban and rural areas. Weshould improve the system for preventing and mitigating natural disasters andbecome better able to respond to meteorological, geological and seismicdisasters. We should take a holistic approach to intensifying prevention andcontrol of water, air and soil pollution, putting prevention first and placingemphasis on serious environmental problems that pose health hazards to thepeople. We will work with the international community to actively respond toglobal climate change on the basis of equity and in accordance with the commonbut differentiated responsibilities and respective capabilities of allcountries.
（四）加强生态文明制度建设。保护生态环境必须依靠制度。要把资源消耗、环境损害、生态效益纳入经济社会发展评价体系，建立体现生态文明要求的目标体系、考核办法、奖惩机制。建立国土空间开发保护制度，完善最严格的耕地保护制度、水资源管理制度、环境保护制度。深化资源性产品价格和税费改革，建立反映市场供求和资源稀缺程度、体现生态价值和代际补偿的资源有偿使用制度和生态补偿制度。积极开展节能量、碳排放权、排污权、水权交易试点。加强环境监管，健全生态环境保护责任追究制度和环境损害赔偿制度。加强生态文明宣传教育，增强全民节约意识、环保意识、生态意识，形成合理消费的社会风尚，营造爱护生态环境的良好风气。
4. Enhance system building to promote ecological progress
System building is crucial to protecting the ecological environment.Resource consumption, environmental damage and ecological benefits should becovered by the system of standards for evaluating economic and socialdevelopment, and related goals, evaluation methods and reward and punishmentmechanisms should be adopted in keeping with the need of promoting ecologicalprogress. We should establish a system for developing and protecting China'sgeographical space and improve the system for providing the strictest possibleprotection for farmland and systems for managing water resources and protectingthe environment. We should deepen reform of prices, taxes and fees for resourceproducts, and establish a system for paying for resource consumption andcompensating for ecological damage - a system that responds to market supplyand demand and resource scarcity, recognizes ecological values and requirescompensation in the interests of later generations. We should carry out trialsfor trading energy savings, carbon emission rights, pollution discharge rightsand water rights. We should strengthen environmental monitoring and improve thesystem of accountability for ecological and environmental protection and thesystem of compensation for environmental damage. We should increase publicityof and education in ecological progress, raise public awareness of the need toconserve resources, protect the environment and promote ecological progress,and foster a social atmosphere of practicing moderate consumption andcherishing the ecological environment.
我们一定要更加自觉地珍爱自然，更加积极地保护生态，努力走向社会主义生态文明新时代。
We must treasure nature more consciously, protect the ecosystem moreactively, and strive to usher in a new era of socialist ecological progress.
九、加快推进国防和军队现代化
IX.Accelerating the Modernization of National Defense and the Armed Forces
建设与我国国际地位相称、与国家安全和发展利益相适应的巩固国防和强大军队，是我国现代化建设的战略任务。我国面临的生存安全问题和发展安全问题、传统安全威胁和非传统安全威胁相互交织，要求国防和军队现代化建设有一个大的发展。必须坚持以国家核心安全需求为导向，统筹经济建设和国防建设，按照国防和军队现代化建设“三步走”战略构想，加紧完成机械化和信息化建设双重历史任务，力争到二０二０年基本实现机械化，信息化建设取得重大进展。
Building strong national defense and powerful armed forces that arecommensurate withChina'sinternational standing and meet the needs of its security and developmentinterests is a strategic task ofChina's modernization drive.Chinais faced withinterwoven problems affecting its survival and development security as well astraditional and non-traditional security threats. To address these problems andthreats, we must make major progress in modernizing national defense and thearmed forces. We must, responding to China's core security needs and followingthe three-step development strategy for modernizing national defense and thearmed forces, ensure both economic development and development of defensecapabilities, intensify efforts to accomplish the dual historic tasks of militarymechanization and full IT application, striving to basically complete militarymechanization and make major progress in full military IT application by 2020.

We should act to meet the new requirements ofChina's national development andsecurity strategies and ensure that the armed forces fully carry out theirhistoric mission in the new stage in the new century. We should implement themilitary strategy of active defense for the new period, and enhance militarystrategic guidance as the times so require. We should attach great importanceto maritime, space and cyberspace security.

We must unwaveringly adhere to the principle ofthe Party's absolute leadership over the armed forces and continue to educatethem in the system of theories of socialism with Chinese characteristics. Weshould constantly cultivate the core values of contemporary revolutionaryservice personnel, vigorously promote advanced military culture, and preservethe nature and the character of the military as the people's army. We shouldunswervingly pursue full IT application as the goal in achieving militarymodernization and step up this effort. We should strengthen the development ofnew- and high-technology weapons and equipment, speed up the complete developmentof modern logistics, train a new type of high-caliber military personnel inlarge numbers, intensively carry out military training under computerizedconditions, and enhance integrated combat capability based on extensive ITapplication. We should increase efforts to run the armed forces with strictdiscipline and in accordance with the law, and raise their standardization to anew level.
紧跟世界新军事革命加速发展的潮流，积极稳妥进行国防和军队改革，推动中国特色军事变革深入发展。坚持以创新发展军事理论为先导，着力提高国防科技工业自主创新能力，深入推进军队组织形态现代化，构建中国特色现代军事力量体系。
We should closely follow the new global military revolution that isgathering pace, advance reform of our national defense and armed forces in aboth active and prudent way, and deepen military transformation with Chinesecharacteristics.

十、丰富“一国两制”实践和推进祖国统一
X. Enrichingthe Practice of "One Country, Two Systems" and AdvancingChina'sReunification
香港、澳门回归以来，走上了同祖国内地优势互补、共同发展的宽广道路，“一国两制”实践取得举世公认的成功。中央政府对香港、澳门实行的各项方针政策，根本宗旨是维护国家主权、安全、发展利益，保持香港、澳门长期繁荣稳定。全面准确贯彻“一国两制”、“港人治港”、“澳人治澳”、高度自治的方针，必须把坚持一国原则和尊重两制差异、维护中央权力和保障特别行政区高度自治权、发挥祖国内地坚强后盾作用和提高港澳自身竞争力有机结合起来，任何时候都不能偏废。
Since their return to the motherland, Hong Kong and Macao have embarked ona broad road along which they and the mainland draw on each other's strengthsand pursue common development, and the success of the "one country, twosystems" principle has won global recognition. The underlying goal of theprinciples and policies adopted by the central government concerning Hong KongandMacaois to upholdChina's sovereignty, security and developmentinterests and maintain long-term prosperity and stability of the two regions.We must fully and faithfully implement the principle of "one country, twosystems," under which the people of Hong Kong govern Hong Kong and thepeople ofMacaogovernMacaoand both regions enjoy a high degree ofautonomy. We must both adhere to the one-China principle and respect thedifferences of the two systems, both uphold the power of the central governmentand ensure a high degree of autonomy in the special administrative regions,both give play to the role of the mainland as the staunch supporter of HongKong and Macao and increase their competitiveness. At no time should we focusonly on one side to the neglect of the other.
中央政府将严格依照基本法办事，完善与基本法实施相关的制度和机制，坚定支持特别行政区行政长官和政府依法施政，带领香港、澳门各界人士集中精力发展经济、切实有效改善民生、循序渐进推进民主、包容共济促进和谐，深化内地与香港、澳门经贸关系，推进各领域交流合作，促进香港同胞、澳门同胞在爱国爱港、爱国爱澳旗帜下的大团结，防范和遏制外部势力干预港澳事务。
The central government will act in strict accordance with the basic lawsof the special administrative regions, improve work mechanisms for theirenforcement, and firmly support the chief executives and governments of the twospecial administrative regions in governing the two regions in accordance withthe law. The central government will firmly support them in leading the peoplefrom all walks of life in focusing on economic development, taking effectivesteps to improve the people's wellbeing, and advancing orderly and phased-indemocracy as well as inclusiveness, mutual support and harmony. The centralgovernment will increase economic ties and trade between the mainland and thetwo regions, and promote exchanges and cooperation between them in all fields.The central government will also firmly support the chief executives andgovernments of the two special administrative regions in promoting the unity ofour compatriots in Hong Kong and Macao under the banner of loving both themotherland and their respective regions and in guarding against andforestalling external intervention in the affairs of Hong Kong and Macao.
我们坚信，香港同胞、澳门同胞不仅有智慧、有能力、有办法把特别行政区管理好、建设好，也一定能在国家事务中发挥积极作用，同全国各族人民一道共享做中国人的尊严和荣耀。
We are convinced that our compatriots in Hong Kong and Macao not only havethe wisdom, ability and resourcefulness to successfully govern and develop thetwo regions; they can certainly also play an active role in national affairsand share with other people of all ethnic groups in China the dignity and gloryof being Chinese.
解决台湾问题、实现祖国完全统一，是不可阻挡的历史进程。和平统一最符合包括台湾同胞在内的中华民族的根本利益。实现和平统一首先要确保两岸关系和平发展。必须坚持“和平统一、一国两制”方针，坚持发展两岸关系、推进祖国和平统一进程的八项主张，全面贯彻两岸关系和平发展重要思想，巩固和深化两岸关系和平发展的政治、经济、文化、社会基础，为和平统一创造更充分的条件。
To resolve theTaiwanquestion and achieve the completereunification ofChinais an irresistible historical process.Peaceful reunification is in the best interests of the Chinese nation,including our compatriots inTaiwan. Toachieve peaceful reunification, we must, above everything else, ensure peacefulgrowth of relations between the two sides of the Taiwan Straits. We must adhereto the principle of "peaceful reunification and one country, twosystems" and the eight-point proposal for growing cross-Straits relationsand advancing peaceful reunification of the motherland. We must put into fullpractice the important thought of peaceful growth of cross-Straits relations,consolidate and strengthen the political, economic, cultural and socialfoundation for such growth, and create even better conditions for achievingpeaceful reunification.
我们要始终坚持一个中国原则。大陆和台湾虽然尚未统一，但两岸同属一个中国的事实从未改变，国家领土和主权从未分割、也不容分割。两岸双方应恪守反对“台独”、坚持“九二共识”的共同立场，增进维护一个中国框架的共同认知，在此基础上求同存异。对台湾任何政党，只要不主张“台独”、认同一个中国，我们都愿意同他们交往、对话、合作。
We must continue to adhere to the one-China principle. Although themainland andTaiwanare yet to be reunified, the fact thatboth belong to oneChinahas never changed.China's territory and sovereignty havealways been indivisible and no division will be tolerated. The two sides of theTaiwan Straits should uphold the common stand of opposingTaiwanindependence and of following the 1992Consensus. Both sides should increase their common commitment to upholding theone-China framework and, on this basis, expand common ground and set asidedifferences. We are ready to conduct exchanges, dialogue and cooperation withany political party inTaiwanas long as it does not seekTaiwanindependence and recognizes theone-China principle.
我们要持续推进两岸交流合作。深化经济合作，厚植共同利益。扩大文化交流，增强民族认同。密切人民往来，融洽同胞感情。促进平等协商，加强制度建设。希望双方共同努力，探讨国家尚未统一特殊情况下的两岸政治关系，作出合情合理安排；商谈建立两岸军事安全互信机制，稳定台海局势；协商达成两岸和平协议，开创两岸关系和平发展新前景。
We should sustain cross-Straits exchanges and cooperation. We shoulddeepen economic cooperation to increase common interests. We should expandcultural exchanges to enhance a common sense of national identity, and furtherpeople-to-people contacts to cultivate mutual goodwill. We should promoteconsultation on an equal footing and strengthen institutional building. We hopethat the two sides will jointly explore cross-Straits political relations andmake reasonable arrangements for them under the special condition that thecountry is yet to be reunified. We hope the two sides will discuss theestablishment of a cross-Straits confidence-building mechanism for militarysecurity to maintain stability in their relations and reach a peace agreementthrough consultation so as to open a new horizon in advancing the peacefulgrowth of these relations.
我们要努力促进两岸同胞团结奋斗。两岸同胞同属中华民族，是血脉相连的命运共同体，理应相互关爱信赖，共同推进两岸关系，共同享有发展成果。凡是有利于增进两岸同胞共同福祉的事情，我们都会尽最大努力做好。我们要切实保护台湾同胞权益，团结台湾同胞维护好、建设好中华民族共同家园。
We should encourage the compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Straits tounite and pursue a common endeavor. The compatriots on both sides belong to thesame Chinese nation and form a community of common destiny bound by blood ties;and we have every reason to care about and trust each other, jointly advancecross-Straits relations, and share in the fruits of development. We will makeevery effort to do anything that will promote the common wellbeing of thecompatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Straits. We should fully protect therights and interests of ourTaiwancompatriots and work with them tosafeguard and build the common home of the Chinese nation.
我们坚决反对“台独”分裂图谋。中国人民绝不允许任何人任何势力以任何方式把台湾从祖国分割出去。“台独”分裂行径损害两岸同胞共同利益，必然走向彻底失败。
We resolutely oppose any separatist attempt forTaiwanindependence. The Chinese people willnever allow anyone or any force to separateTaiwanfrom the motherland by any means. Anyseparatist attempt forTaiwanindependence, which undermines thecommon interests of the compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Straits, isdoomed to fail.
全体中华儿女携手努力，就一定能在同心实现中华民族伟大复兴进程中完成祖国统一大业。
Working hand in hand, we, the sons and daughters of the Chinese nation,will surely accomplish the great cause ofChina's reunification in the course ofour common endeavor to achieve the great renewal of the Chinese nation.
十一、继续促进人类和平与发展的崇高事业
XI. Continuingto Promote the Noble Cause of Peace and Development of Mankind
当今世界正在发生深刻复杂变化，和平与发展仍然是时代主题。世界多极化、经济全球化深入发展，文化多样化、社会信息化持续推进，科技革命孕育新突破，全球合作向多层次全方位拓展，新兴市场国家和发展中国家整体实力增强，国际力量对比朝着有利于维护世界和平方向发展，保持国际形势总体稳定具备更多有利条件。
The world today is undergoing profoundand complex changes, but peace and development remain the underlying trends ofour times. The global trends toward multipolarity and economic globalizationare deepening. Cultural diversity is increasing, and an information society isfast emerging. New breakthroughs are in the making in the scientific andtechnological revolution. Global cooperation is expanding at multiple levelsand on all fronts. Emerging market economies and developing countries aregaining in overall strength, tipping the balance of international forces in favorof the maintenance of world peace. All this has created more favorableconditions for ensuring general stability in the international environment.
同时，世界仍然很不安宁。国际金融危机影响深远，世界经济增长不稳定不确定因素增多，全球发展不平衡加剧，霸权主义、强权政治和新干涉主义有所上升，局部动荡频繁发生，粮食安全、能源资源安全、网络安全等全球性问题更加突出。
On the otherhand, the world is still far from being peaceful. The global financial crisisis producing a far-reaching impact on the world. World economic growth isovershadowed by growing factors of instability and uncertainty, and imbalancein global development has widened. There are signs of increasing hegemonism,power politics and neo-interventionism, and local turmoil keeps cropping up.Global issues such as food security, energy and resource security and cybersecurity are becoming more acute.
人类只有一个地球，各国共处一个世界。历史昭示我们，弱肉强食不是人类共存之道，穷兵黩武无法带来美好世界。要和平不要战争，要发展不要贫穷，要合作不要对抗，推动建设持久和平、共同繁荣的和谐世界，是各国人民共同愿望。
Mankind has only one earth to live on,and countries have only one world to share. History teaches us that the law ofthe jungle will not lead to the coexistence of human society and that thearbitrary use of force cannot make the world a better place. To pursue peace,development and cooperation and oppose war, eliminate poverty and avoidconfrontation in order to build a harmonious world of enduring peace and commonprosperity - this is what the people of all countries long for.

We call forpromoting equality, mutual trust, inclusiveness, mutual learning and mutuallybeneficial cooperation in international relations and making joint efforts touphold international fairness and justice. In promoting equality and mutualtrust, we should observe the purposes and principles of the Charter of theUnited Nations, and support equality among all countries, big or small, strongor weak, rich or poor. We should advance democracy in international relations,respect sovereignty, share security, and uphold world peace and stability. Inpromoting inclusiveness and mutual learning, we should respect diversity ofcivilizations and development paths, respect and safeguard the rights of allpeoples to independently choose their social system and development path, learnfrom others to make up for our shortcomings, and advance human civilization. Inpromoting mutually beneficial cooperation, we should raise awareness abouthuman beings sharing a community of common destiny. A country shouldaccommodate the legitimate concerns of others when pursuing its own interests;and it should promote common development of all countries when advancing itsown development. Countries should establish a new type of global developmentpartnership that is more equitable and balanced, stick together in times ofdifficulty, both share rights and shoulder obligations, and boost the commoninterests of mankind.

China will continue to keep inmind both the interests of the Chinese people and the common interests of thepeople of all countries, get more actively involved in international affairs,play its due role of a major responsible country, and work jointly with othercountries to meet global challenges.
中国将始终不渝奉行互利共赢的开放战略，通过深化合作促进世界经济强劲、可持续、平衡增长。中国致力于缩小南北差距，支持发展中国家增强自主发展能力。中国将加强同主要经济体宏观经济政策协调，通过协商妥善解决经贸摩擦。中国坚持权利和义务相平衡，积极参与全球经济治理，推动贸易和投资自由化便利化，反对各种形式的保护主义。

十二、全面提高党的建设科学化水平
XII.MakingPartyBuildingMoreScientific in All Respects
我们党担负着团结带领人民全面建成小康社会、推进社会主义现代化、实现中华民族伟大复兴的重任。党坚强有力，党同人民保持血肉联系，国家就繁荣稳定，人民就幸福安康。形势的发展、事业的开拓、人民的期待，都要求我们以改革创新精神全面推进党的建设新的伟大工程，全面提高党的建设科学化水平。
Rallying and leading the people in completing the building of a moderatelyprosperous society in all respects, in advancing socialist modernization and inachieving the great renewal of the Chinese nation is an important mission forour Party. When the Party maintains its strength and close ties with thepeople,Chinaenjoys prosperity and stability and theChinese people live in peace and happiness. Facing the new developments, theprogress in our cause and the expectation the people have of us, we shouldcomprehensively carry out the great new undertaking of Party building in an innovativereform-driven manner and make Party building more scientific in all respects.
全党必须牢记，只有植根人民、造福人民，党才能始终立于不败之地；只有居安思危、勇于进取，党才能始终走在时代前列。新形势下，党面临的执政考验、改革开放考验、市场经济考验、外部环境考验是长期的、复杂的、严峻的，精神懈怠危险、能力不足危险、脱离群众危险、消极腐败危险更加尖锐地摆在全党面前。不断提高党的领导水平和执政水平、提高拒腐防变和抵御风险能力，是党巩固执政地位、实现执政使命必须解决好的重大课题。全党要增强紧迫感和责任感，牢牢把握加强党的执政能力建设、先进性和纯洁性建设这条主线，坚持解放思想、改革创新，坚持党要管党、从严治党，全面加强党的思想建设、组织建设、作风建设、反腐倡廉建设、制度建设，增强自我净化、自我完善、自我革新、自我提高能力，建设学习型、服务型、创新型的马克思主义执政党，确保党始终成为中国特色社会主义事业的坚强领导核心。
The whole Party must bear in mind that only by taking root among thepeople and delivering benefits to them can the Party remain invincible, andthat only by being on guard against adversity in times of peace and forgingboldly ahead can the Party remain in the forefront of the times. Under newconditions, the Party faces complicated and severe long-term tests inexercising governance, carrying out reform and opening up and developing themarket economy as well as tests from the external environment. And the wholeParty is confronted with increasingly grave dangers of lacking in drive,incompetence, being out of touch with the people, corruption and othermisconduct. We should steadily improve the Party's art of leadership andgovernance; and increase its ability to resist corruption, prevent degenerationand ward off risks - this is a major issue the Party must solve in order toconsolidate its position as the governing party and carry out its mission ofgovernance. All Party members must heighten their sense of urgency and sense ofresponsibility and focus on strengthening the Party's governance capacity,advanced nature and purity. We should continue to free up our minds and carryout reform and innovation, and uphold the principle that the Party shouldsupervise its own conduct and run itself with strict discipline. We should makeall-around efforts to strengthen the Party theoretically and organizationallyand improve its conduct. We should become better able to fight corruption,uphold Party integrity and improve Party rules and regulations. We shouldenhance our capacity for self-purity, self-improvement, self-development andself-innovation and build the Party into an innovative, service-oriented andlearning Marxist governing party. By taking these steps, we can ensure that theParty is always the firm leadership core guiding the cause of socialism withChinese characteristics.
（一）坚定理想信念，坚守共产党人精神追求。对马克思主义的信仰，对社会主义和共产主义的信念，是共产党人的政治灵魂，是共产党人经受住任何考验的精神支柱。要抓好思想理论建设这个根本，学习马克思列宁主义、毛泽东思想、中国特色社会主义理论体系，深入学习实践科学发展观，推进学习型党组织创建，教育引导党员、干部矢志不渝为中国特色社会主义共同理想而奋斗。抓好党性教育这个核心，学习党的历史，深刻认识党的两个历史问题决议总结的经验教训，弘扬党的优良传统和作风，教育引导党员、干部牢固树立正确的世界观、权力观、事业观，坚定政治立场，明辨大是大非。抓好道德建设这个基础，教育引导党员、干部模范践行社会主义荣辱观，讲党性、重品行、作表率，做社会主义道德的示范者、诚信风尚的引领者、公平正义的维护者，以实际行动彰显共产党人的人格力量。
1. Be firm in our ideal and conviction and remain true to the faith ofCommunists
Communists' faith in Marxism, socialism and communism is their political souland sustains them in all tests. We should give high priority to developing theParty's theory, which is essential for Party building. We should studyMarxism-Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought and the system of theories of socialismwith Chinese characteristics and intensively study and apply the ScientificOutlook on Development.

7. Unswervingly combat corruption and preserve Communists' politicalcharacter of integrity
Combating corruption and promoting political integrity, which is a majorpolitical issue of great concern to the people, is a clear-cut and long-termpolitical commitment of the Party. If we fail to handle this issue well, itcould prove fatal to the Party, and even cause the collapse of the Party andthe fall of the state. We must thus make unremitting efforts to combatcorruption, promote integrity and stay vigilant against degeneration. We shouldkeep to the Chinese-style path of combating corruption and promoting integrity.We should persist in combating corruption in an integrated way, addressing bothits symptoms and root causes, and combining punishment and prevention, withemphasis on the latter. We should advance in an all-around way theestablishment of a system of combating corruption through both punishment andprevention and see to it that officials are honest, the government is clean,and political integrity is upheld. We should strengthen education aboutcombating corruption and promoting clean government and improve the culture ofclean government. Leading officials at all levels, especially high-rankingofficials, must readily observe the code of conduct on clean governance and reportall important facts concerned. They should both exercise strict self-disciplineand strengthen education and supervision over their family and staff; and theyshould never seek any privilege. We should ensure that strict procedures arefollowed in the exercise of power, and tighten oversight over the exercise ofpower by leading officials, especially principal leading officials. We shoulddeepen reform of key areas and crucial links, improve the system ofanti-corruption laws, prevent and manage risks to clean government, avoidconflict of interests, prevent and fight corruption more effectively and in amore scientific way, and increase international anti-corruption cooperation. Weshould rigorously implement the system of accountability for improving Partyconduct and upholding integrity. We should improve the system of disciplinesupervision and inspection, improve the unified management of representativeoffices of Party commissions for discipline inspection, and enable disciplineinspectors to better play their role of supervision. We must maintain a toughposition in cracking down on corruption at all times, conduct thoroughinvestigations into major corruption cases and work hard to resolve problems ofcorruption that directly affect the people. All those who violate Partydiscipline and state laws, whoever they are and whatever power or officialpositions they have, must be brought to justice without mercy.

8. Strictly enforce Party discipline and willingly uphold centralizedleadership of the Party
Centralized leadership of the Party is the source of its strength and afundamental guarantee forChina's economicand social development, ethnic unity and progress, and enduring peace andstability. The more complexities the Party faces and the more arduous the tasksit undertakes, the more imperative it is for the Party to strengthen itsdiscipline and uphold centralized leadership. Party organizations at all levelsand all Party members and officials, especially principal leading officials,must willingly abide by the Party Constitution as well as its organizationalprinciples and guiding principles for its political activities; and no one isallowed to place oneself above the Party organization. All Party organizationsand members must resolutely uphold the authority of the Central Committee andmaintain a high degree of unity with it theoretically, politically and inaction. We must faithfully implement the Party's theories, line, principles andpolicies and ensure that the decisions of the Central Committee are carried outeffectively; and we will never allow anyone to take countermeasures againstthem or disregard them. We will strengthen oversight and inspection, strictlyenforce Party discipline, political discipline in particular, and take sternactions against violations of Party discipline. We must ensure that all areequal before discipline, that nobody has the privilege of not observing it andthat no exception should be made in its enforcement. This will enable the wholeParty from leadership to the ranks to advance in unison as a great force.
