We will make thorough preparations for the Beijing Winter Olympics and Paralympics. Multiple channels will be used to increase sports venues and facilities available for the general public.

We will step up efforts to supply public-rental housing so that all eligible low-income families struggling with housing, including eligible houseless 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 expect local governments to fulfill their primary responsibility in this respect, and will continue exercising differentiated regulation and put in place robust permanent mechanisms to promote the steady and healthy development of real estate markets. We will support people in buying homes for personal use, and develop the housing rental market and shared ownership housing.

We will bring empathy and energy to our work to meet basic needs; there will 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.

We will continue the Peaceful China initiative, take strict preventive measures against violent and terrorist activities and see them firmly stamped out, and launch a campaign to crack down on organized crime and local mafia in accordance with law. We will punish theft, robbery, fraud, pornography, gambling, drug-related crime, and other illegal and criminal behavior, and address salient problems such as telecommunications and internet fraud, the abuse of personal information, and pyramid schemes. With these steps we will safeguard national and public security.
为人民过上美好生活提供丰富精神食粮。要弘扬中华优秀传统文化，继承革命文化，发展社会主义先进文化，培育和践行社会主义核心价值观。加强思想道德建设和群众性精神文明创建。加快构建中国特色哲学社会科学，繁荣文艺创作，发展新闻出版、广播影视、档案等事业。加强文物保护利用和文化遗产保护传承。建好新型智库。加强互联网内容建设。深入实施文化惠民工程，培育新型文化业态。深化中外人文交流。我们要以中国特色社会主义文化的繁荣兴盛，凝聚起实现民族复兴的磅礴精神力量。

各位代表！
Fellow Deputies,
进入新时代，政府工作在新的一年要有新气象新作为。要牢固树立“四个意识”，坚定“四个自信”，坚决维护习近平总书记核心地位，坚决维护党中央权威和集中统一领导，落实全面从严治党要求，加强政府自身建设，深入推进政府职能转变，为人民提供优质高效服务。
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 will improve our government, intensify efforts to transform government functions, and deliver to the people high-quality and efficient services.
全面推进依宪施政、依法行政。严格遵守宪法法律，加快建设法治政府，把政府活动全面纳入法治轨道。坚持严格规范公正文明执法，有权不可任性，用权必受监督。各级政府要依法接受同级人大及其常委会的监督，自觉接受人民政协的民主监督，主动接受社会和舆论监督，认真听取人大代表、政协委员意见，听取民主党派、工商联、无党派人士和各人民团体意见。政府要信守承诺，决不能“新官不理旧账”。全面推进政务公开。坚持科学、民主、依法决策，凡涉及公众利益的重大事项，都要深入听取各方意见包括批评意见。人民政府的所有工作都要体现人民意愿，干得好不好要看实际效果、最终由人民来评判。
All governance will be exercised in accordance with the Constitution and the law.
We will 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 will 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 will make government affairs more transparent across the board. Decisions will 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 will 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.
全面加强党风廉政建设。推进“两学一做”学习教育常态化制度化，认真开展“不忘初心、牢记使命”主题教育。坚决贯彻落实党中央八项规定及实施细则精神，驰而不息整治“四风”，特别是力戒形式主义、官僚主义。加强审计监督。巩固发展反腐败斗争压倒性态势，把权力关进制度的笼子，坚决惩治各类腐败行为。政府工作人员要廉洁修身，勤勉尽责，干干净净为人民做事，决不辜负人民公仆的称号。
All initiatives to improve Party conduct and ensure clean government will 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 will work to see this become a regular and institutionalized practice. And we will 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 and 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 will strengthen auditing-based oversight. We will 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 and have a strong work ethic and sense of responsibility; we must keep our hands clean and work hard for the people, and never fail to live up to the name of the people’s public servants.
全面提高政府效能。优化政府机构设置和职能配置，深化机构改革，形成职责明确、依法行政的政府治理体系，增强政府公信力和执行力。中国改革发展的一切成就，都是干出来的。对各级政府及其工作人员来说，为人民干事是天职、不干是失职。要完善激励约束、容错纠错机制，旗帜鲜明给积极干事者撑腰鼓劲，对庸政懒政者严肃问责。决不能表态多调门高、行动少落实差，决不允许占着位子不干事。广大干部要提高政治素质和工作本领，求真务实，干字当头，干出实打实的新业绩，干出群众的好口碑，干出千帆竞发、百舸争流的生动局面。
All aspects of government performance will be improved.
We will improve government institution setups and functions, 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 will improve incentive and restraint 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 will not be tolerated; nor will 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.

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 will 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 will be fully enforced.
We will continue to reform national defense and the armed forces, and build strong and solid modernized border, coastal, and air defense. We will improve our national defense mobilization system and strengthen public awareness about national defense. We will further implement the strategy for military-civilian integration and deepen reform of defense-related science, technology, and industry.

We will remain firm in safeguarding China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, and will never tolerate any separatist schemes or activities for “Taiwan independence.”
We will 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.
