三、2019年政府工作任务
III. Tasks for 2019
今年经济社会发展任务重、挑战多、要求高。我们要突出重点、把握关键，扎实做好各项工作。
This year, in pursuing economic and social development, we will face weighty tasks, many challenges, and high demands. We must have clear priorities and address crucial issues to deliver a solid performance across the board.
（一）继续创新和完善宏观调控，确保经济运行在合理区间。坚持以市场化改革的思路和办法破解发展难题，发挥好宏观政策逆周期调节作用，丰富和灵活运用财政、货币、就业政策工具，增强调控前瞻性、针对性和有效性，为经济平稳运行创造条件。
1. We will continue to develop new and improved approaches to macro regulation and keep the main economic indicators within an appropriate range.
We will keep using market-oriented reform thinking and approaches to resolve problems in development; make good use of countercyclical macro policy regulation; add to and use flexibly financial, monetary, and employment policy instruments; make regulation more forward-looking, targeted, and effective; and create the conditions for ensuring a stable economic performance.
实施更大规模的减税。普惠性减税与结构性减税并举，重点降低制造业和小微企业税收负担。深化增值税改革，将制造业等行业现行16%的税率降至13%，将交通运输业、建筑业等行业现行10%的税率降至9%，确保主要行业税负明显降低；保持6%一档的税率不变，但通过采取对生产、生活性服务业增加税收抵扣等配套措施，确保所有行业税负只减不增，继续向推进税率三档并两档、税制简化方向迈进。抓好年初出台的小微企业普惠性减税政策落实。这次减税，着眼“放水养鱼”、增强发展后劲并考虑财政可持续，是减轻企业负担、激发市场活力的重大举措，是完善税制、优化收入分配格局的重要改革，是宏观政策支持稳增长、保就业、调结构的重大抉择。
We will implement larger-scale tax cuts.
We will introduce both general-benefit and structural tax cuts, focusing primarily on reducing tax burdens in manufacturing and on small and micro businesses.
VAT reform will be deepened: we will reduce the current rate of 16 percent in manufacturing and other industries to 13 percent, and lower the rate in the transportation, construction, and other industries from 10 to 9 percent, thus ensuring that tax burdens in our main industries are meaningfully reduced; keep the lowest bracket rate unchanged at 6 percent, while adopting supporting measures, like increased tax deductions for producer and consumer services, to see that in all industries tax burdens only go down, not up; and continue making progress toward cutting the number of VAT brackets from three to two and simplifying the VAT system. We will ensure that the general-benefit tax cut policies issued at the start of the year for small and micro businesses are put into effect. Our moves to cut tax on this occasion aim at an accommodative effect to strengthen the basis for sustained growth while also considering the need to ensure fiscal sustainability; are a major measure to lighten the burden on businesses and boost market dynamism; are an important reform to improve the tax system and achieve better income distribution; and are the result of a major decision taken at the macro policy level in support of the efforts to ensure stable economic growth, employment, and structural adjustments.
明显降低企业社保缴费负担。下调城镇职工基本养老保险单位缴费比例，各地可降至16%。稳定现行征缴方式，各地在征收体制改革过程中不得采取增加小微企业实际缴费负担的做法，不得自行对历史欠费进行集中清缴。继续执行阶段性降低失业和工伤保险费率政策。今年务必使企业特别是小微企业社保缴费负担有实质性下降。加快推进养老保险省级统筹改革，继续提高企业职工基本养老保险基金中央调剂比例、划转部分国有资本充实社保基金。我们既要减轻企业缴费负担，又要保障职工社保待遇不变、养老金合理增长并按时足额发放，使社保基金可持续、企业与职工同受益。
We will significantly reduce enterprise contributions to social insurance schemes.
We will lower the share borne by employers for urban workers’ basic aged-care insurance, and localities may cut contributions down to 16 percent. The social insurance premium collection methods currently in operation will be kept unchanged. No locality should take any measure that increases the burden on small and micro enterprises when reforming their collection systems, or require, on their own, that longstanding arrears be paid off in a lump sum. The current policy of reducing premiums for unemployment insurance and work injury compensation insurance will continue. This year, premium payments, particularly for small and micro businesses, must be substantively reduced.
We will speed up reforms in the provincial-level management of aged-care insurance funds, continue to increase the proportion of enterprise workers’ basic pension funds under central government allocation, and replenish social security funds through the injection of state capital. We must reduce burdens on enterprises, but also ensure that employees’ social security benefits remain unchanged and aged-care pensions increase as appropriate and are paid on time and in full, so that social security funds are sustainable and both enterprises and employees benefit.
确保减税降费落实到位。减税降费直击当前市场主体的痛点和难点，是既公平又有效率的政策。全年减轻企业税收和社保缴费负担近2万亿元。这会给各级财政带来很大压力。为支持企业减负，各级政府要过紧日子，想方设法筹集资金。中央财政要开源节流，增加特定国有金融机构和央企上缴利润，一般性支出压减5%以上、“三公”经费再压减3%左右，长期沉淀资金一律收回。地方政府也要主动挖潜，大力优化支出结构，多渠道盘活各类资金和资产。我们要切实让市场主体特别是小微企业有明显减税降费感受，坚决兑现对企业和社会的承诺，困难再多也一定要把这件大事办成办好。
We will ensure tax and fee cuts are fully implemented.
Tax cuts and fee reductions get right to the spot in tackling the pains and difficulties currently troubling market entities; as a policy option, they are both fair and efficient. This year, we will reduce the tax burdens on and social insurance contributions of enterprises by nearly 2 trillion yuan. This will create big pressure on government budgets at all levels. To support this lightening of the burden on enterprises, governments at all levels must tighten their belts and find workable means of raising funds.
The central government needs to increase revenue and reduce expenditures. Profits turned in by designated state-owned financial institutions and enterprises directly under the central government should be increased; general expenditures should be cut by over 5 percent, spending on official overseas visits, official vehicles, and official hospitality should be cut by another 3 percent, and all funds that have long stayed unused will be taken back.
Local governments also need to dig deep, take big steps to improve the mix of spending, and put various funds and assets to good use through multiple avenues.
We will let market entities, especially small and micro businesses, feel the weight of their burden being meaningfully lightened, honoring our promise to enterprises and society, and seeing that no matter the number of difficulties, this important job gets done and gets done well.
着力缓解企业融资难融资贵问题。改革完善货币信贷投放机制，适时运用存款准备金率、利率等数量和价格手段，引导金融机构扩大信贷投放、降低贷款成本，精准有效支持实体经济，不能让资金空转或脱实向虚。加大对中小银行定向降准力度，释放的资金全部用于民营和小微企业贷款。支持大型商业银行多渠道补充资本，增强信贷投放能力，鼓励增加制造业中长期贷款和信用贷款。今年国有大型商业银行小微企业贷款要增长30%以上。清理规范银行及中介服务收费。完善金融机构内部考核机制，激励加强普惠金融服务，切实使中小微企业融资紧张状况有明显改善，综合融资成本必须有明显降低。
We will work hard to alleviate the difficulties faced by enterprises in accessing affordable financing.
We will reform and refine monetary and credit supply mechanisms, and employ as needed a combination of quantitative and pricing approaches, like required reserve ratios and interest rates, to guide financial institutions in increasing credit supply and bringing down the cost of borrowing, ensure targeted and efficient support for the real economy, and avoid funds circulating within the financial sector without entering the real economy or being diverted out of the real economy.
More targeted cuts will be made to required reserve ratios for medium and small banks; the additional funds thus released will be lent to private enterprises and small and micro businesses.
We will support large commercial banks in replenishing capital through multiple channels, strengthen their capacity to supply credit, and encourage them to increase medium- and long-term loans and credit loans to the manufacturing sector. This year, loans to be granted to small and micro businesses by large state-owned commercial banks will increase by over 30 percent.
Fees charged for banking and intermediary services will be overhauled. We will improve the internal assessment mechanisms of financial institutions, encourage more inclusive financial services, achieve a marked improvement in providing financing for medium, small, and micro enterprises, and see that there are definite reductions in overall financing costs.
有效发挥地方政府债券作用。今年拟安排地方政府专项债券2.15万亿元，比去年增加8000亿元，为重点项目建设提供资金支持，也为更好防范化解地方政府债务风险创造条件。合理扩大专项债券使用范围。继续发行一定数量的地方政府置换债券，减轻地方利息负担。鼓励采取市场化方式，妥善解决融资平台到期债务问题，不能搞“半拉子”工程。
We will make effective use of local government bonds.
This year, 2.15 trillion yuan of special local government bonds will be issued, an 800 billion yuan increase on last year. This is designed to both provide funding for key projects and create conditions for better forestalling and defusing local governments’ debt risks.
The scope of use for special local government bonds will be moderately expanded. We will continue the issuance of some local government bonds to replace outstanding debts in order to reduce the interest payment burdens of local governments. We will encourage the adoption of market approaches to solve the issue of maturing debts on financing platforms and make sure that projects financed by such debts are not stopped half way.
多管齐下稳定和扩大就业。扎实做好高校毕业生、退役军人、农民工等重点群体就业工作，加强对城镇各类就业困难人员的就业帮扶。对招用农村贫困人口、城镇登记失业半年以上人员的各类企业，三年内给予定额税费减免。加强对灵活就业、新就业形态的支持。坚决防止和纠正就业中的性别和身份歧视。实施职业技能提升行动，从失业保险基金结余中拿出1000亿元，用于1500万人次以上的职工技能提升和转岗转业培训。加快发展现代职业教育，既有利于缓解当前就业压力，也是解决高技能人才短缺的战略之举。改革完善高职院校考试招生办法，鼓励更多应届高中毕业生和退役军人、下岗职工、农民工等报考，今年大规模扩招100万人。扩大高职院校奖助学金覆盖面、提高补助标准，加快学历证书和职业技能等级证书互通衔接。改革高职院校办学体制，提高办学质量。中央财政大幅增加对高职院校的投入，地方财政也要加强支持。设立中等职业教育国家奖学金。支持企业和社会力量兴办职业教育。我们要以现代职业教育的大改革大发展，加快培养国家发展急需的各类技术技能人才，让更多青年凭借一技之长实现人生价值，让三百六十行人才荟萃、繁星璀璨。
We will use multiple channels to achieve stable and expanding employment.
We will work to ensure employment for key groups such as college graduates, demobilized military personnel, and rural migrant workers; and we should give greater employment support for urban jobseekers facing difficulties in securing employment. Enterprises hiring staff from rural poor people or urban residents registered as unemployed for at least six months will be entitled to a fixed amount of tax and fee deductions for three years.
We will strengthen support for flexible employment and new forms of employment.
We will resolutely protect against and stop gender and identity discrimination in employment.
We will implement a vocational skills training initiative, and allocate 100 billion yuan from the surplus in unemployment insurance funds to provide training for over 15 million people upgrading their skills or switching jobs or industries.
Stepping up the development of modern vocational education is a strategic move that will not only ease current employment pressure, but also help to address the shortage of highly-skilled personnel. We will reform and improve the ways that vocational colleges conduct examinations and enrollment, encourage more high school graduates, demobilized military personnel, laid-off workers, and rural migrant workers to apply, and this year achieve a large-scale expansion of one million in student enrollments.
We will expand the coverage of scholarships and grants for vocational college students and raise the level of financial assistance, and speed up work to align vocational technical grade certificates with academic credentials. We will reform the operating mechanisms of vocational colleges and raise the quality of vocational education.
The central government will greatly increase fiscal support for vocational colleges, and local governments should also strengthen their support. A state scholarship for secondary vocational education will be established. We will support enterprises and private actors in providing vocational education. Through major reforms and the development of modern vocational education, we will move faster to train the different types of technicians and skilled workers urgently needed in China’s development, enabling more young people to gain professional skills and realize their potential and producing a vast range of talent ready to shine bright.
（二）激发市场主体活力，着力优化营商环境。我国有上亿市场主体，而且还在不断增加。把市场主体的活跃度保持住、提上去，是促进经济平稳增长的关键所在。要深化“放管服”改革，推动降低制度性交易成本，下硬功夫打造好发展软环境。
2. We will work to energize market entities and improve the business environment.
There are hundreds of millions of market entities in China, and the number continues to grow. The key to promoting stable economic growth lies in maintaining and increasing their level of activity. We must push forward with reforms that delegate power, improve regulation, and upgrade services, bring down government-imposed transaction costs, and make every effort to create an enabling environment for development.
以简审批优服务便利投资兴业。市场配置资源是最有效率的形式。要进一步缩减市场准入负面清单，推动“非禁即入”普遍落实。政府要坚决把不该管的事项交给市场，最大限度减少对资源的直接配置，审批事项应减尽减，确需审批的要简化流程和环节，让企业多用时间跑市场、少费功夫跑审批。今年，要对所有涉企经营许可事项实行“证照分离”改革，使企业更便捷拿到营业执照并尽快正常运营，坚决克服“准入不准营”的现象；在全国推开工程建设项目审批制度改革，使全流程审批时间大幅缩短。推行网上审批和服务，加快实现一网通办、异地可办，使更多事项不见面办理，确需到现场办的要“一窗受理、限时办结”“最多跑一次”。持续开展“减证便民”改革行动，不能让繁琐证明来回折腾企业和群众。建立政务服务“好差评”制度，服务绩效由企业和群众来评判。政府部门做好服务是本分，服务不好是失职。
We will cut government approvals and improve services to create a favorable environment for investment and business startups.
Market allocation is the most efficient form of resource allocation. We will further shorten the negative list on market entry and promote across-the-board implementation of the policy of “entry unless on the list.” The government must act with resolve to hand matters it shouldn’t manage over to the market, and make maximum reductions to its direct allocation of resources. Every requirement for government approval that should be canceled will be canceled. When approval is required, the procedures and steps involved will be simplified. This will leave companies to spend more time doing business and less time chasing approvals.
This year, all permits required of businesses will be separated from the business license to make it quicker and easier for companies to get a license and start operating as soon as possible; and we will put an end to the phenomenon of “letting firms in but not letting them do business.” Reform of the system for construction project approval will be introduced nationwide, and the time of approval needed at every stage of a project will be significantly shortened.
We will encourage online approvals and services, and work faster to make it possible for such services to be accessed via one website and processed remotely, so that more matters can be handled without the need to be physically present. For matters that do require presence in person, they should be processed at a single window, within a specified time, and without the need for a second visit. We will continue to pursue the Cut Certification to Create Convenience reform initiative, and see that businesses and the public are not saddled with running from pillar to post for certificates.
We will establish a government service evaluation system, and let businesses and the public judge if our service is up to scratch. Delivering good services is what a government is meant to do; failure to do so means failing in its duties.
以公正监管促进公平竞争。公平竞争是市场经济的核心，公正监管是公平竞争的保障。改革完善公平竞争审查和公正监管制度，加快清理妨碍统一市场和公平竞争的各种规定和做法。政简易从。规则越简约透明，监管越有力有效。国家层面重在制定统一的监管规则和标准，地方政府要把主要力量放在公正监管上。推进“双随机、一公开”跨部门联合监管，推行信用监管和“互联网+监管”改革，优化环保、消防、税务、市场监管等执法方式，对违法者依法严惩、对守法者无事不扰。深化综合行政执法改革，清理规范行政处罚事项，坚决治理多头检查、重复检查。对监管者也要强监管、立规矩，决不允许搞选择性执法、任性执法，决不允许刁难企业和群众。依法打击制售假冒伪劣商品等违法行为，让违法者付出付不起的代价。用公正监管管出公平、管出效率、管出活力。
We will conduct impartial regulation to promote fair competition.
Fair competition is at the heart of a market economy, and impartial regulation is a safeguard for fair competition. We will reform and improve the fair competition review and impartial regulation systems, and move faster to do away with all regulations and practices that impede the functioning of a unified market and fair competition.
Simple regulations are easy to follow. The simpler and more transparent the rules are, the more robust and effective regulation is. At the national level, the focus is on developing unified regulatory rules and standards, while local governments should concentrate most of their energy on conducting impartial regulation.
We will continue interdepartmental oversight conducted through the random selection of both inspectors and inspection targets and the prompt release of results. We will promote credit rating-based regulation and the Internet Plus Regulation reform initiative, develop better ways of enforcing laws on environmental protection, fire prevention, tax collection, and market oversight, and see that law breakers are punished in accordance with law and the law-abiding are let be.
We will deepen the reform of coordinated law enforcement by government departments, overhaul government penalties and punitive measures, and address overlap and duplication in enforcement. Regulators themselves must also be subject to strong oversight and follow rules. There can be no tolerance for selective or arbitrary law enforcement or for making things difficult for businesses and people.
We will, in accordance with law, crack down on violations of law such as the production and sale of counterfeit and substandard goods, and make the price to pay for law breakers too dear to afford. We will use impartial regulation to ensure a fair, efficient, and dynamic market.
以改革推动降低涉企收费。深化电力市场化改革，清理电价附加收费，降低制造业用电成本，一般工商业平均电价再降低10%。深化收费公路制度改革，推动降低过路过桥费用，治理对客货运车辆不合理审批和乱收费、乱罚款。两年内基本取消全国高速公路省界收费站，实现不停车快捷收费，减少拥堵、便利群众。取消或降低一批铁路、港口收费。专项治理中介服务收费。继续清理规范行政事业性收费。加快收费清单“一张网”建设，让收费公开透明，让乱收费无处藏身。
We will carry out reforms to promote reductions in business-related charges.
We will deepen market-oriented reforms in the electric power sector, overhaul surcharges on electricity prices, lower electricity costs in manufacturing, and cut the average electricity price for general industrial and commercial businesses by another 10 percent.
We will advance the reform of the toll roads system, move to cut tolls on highways and bridges, and put a stop to unjustified requirements for approval as well as arbitrary charges and fines on passenger and freight transport vehicles. Within two years, we will remove almost all expressway toll booths at provincial borders and make nonstop, swift collection a reality. This will cut traffic congestion and make road transport more convenient. A number of railway and port charges will be abolished or lowered.
We will launch an initiative to address the collection of charges by intermediary organizations. We will continue reviewing and standardizing government levied charges. We will speed up the development of a comprehensive listing system for the collection of fees and charges, making charge collecting open and transparent and leaving unauthorized charges no place to hide.
（三）坚持创新引领发展，培育壮大新动能。发挥我国人力人才资源丰富、国内市场巨大等综合优势，改革创新科技研发和产业化应用机制，大力培育专业精神，促进新旧动能接续转换。
3. We will continue to pursue innovation-driven development and foster new growth drivers.
We will make full use of our country’s combined strengths-its abundant human resources and talent and vast domestic market, reform and develop new mechanisms for scientific and technological R&D and industrial application, and foster professionalism, to speed up the replacement of old growth drivers with new ones.
推动传统产业改造提升。围绕推动制造业高质量发展，强化工业基础和技术创新能力，促进先进制造业和现代服务业融合发展，加快建设制造强国。打造工业互联网平台，拓展“智能+”，为制造业转型升级赋能。支持企业加快技术改造和设备更新，将固定资产加速折旧优惠政策扩大至全部制造业领域。强化质量基础支撑，推动标准与国际先进水平对接，提升产品和服务品质，让更多国内外用户选择中国制造、中国服务。
We will work to transform and upgrade traditional industries.
To promote the development of high-quality manufacturing, we will strengthen the foundations of industry and the capacity for technological innovation, boost the integrated development of advanced manufacturing and modernized services, and work faster to make China strong in manufacturing.
We will create industrial internet platforms and expand Intelligent Plus initiatives to facilitate transformation and upgrading in manufacturing. We will support enterprises in speeding up technological transformation and equipment upgrading by extending the preferential policy of accelerated depreciation of fixed assets to the entire manufacturing sector.
We will strengthen the supporting capacity of quality infrastructure, upgrade our standards to meet advanced international ones, and improve the quality of products and services to encourage more domestic and foreign users to choose Chinese goods and services.
促进新兴产业加快发展。深化大数据、人工智能等研发应用，培育新一代信息技术、高端装备、生物医药、新能源汽车、新材料等新兴产业集群，壮大数字经济。坚持包容审慎监管，支持新业态新模式发展，促进平台经济、共享经济健康成长。加快在各行业各领域推进“互联网+”。持续推动网络提速降费。开展城市千兆宽带入户示范，改造提升远程教育、远程医疗网络，推动移动网络基站扩容升级，让用户切实感受到网速更快更稳定。今年中小企业宽带平均资费再降低15%，移动网络流量平均资费再降低20%以上，在全国实行“携号转网”，规范套餐设置，使降费实实在在、消费者明明白白。
We will work to speed up the growth of emerging industries.
We will strengthen R&D and the application of big data and artificial intelligence technologies, foster clusters of emerging industries like next-generation information technology, high-end equipment, biomedicine, new-energy automobiles, and new materials, and expand the digital economy. We will continue accommodative and prudential regulation, support the growth of new forms and models of business, and stimulate the healthy development of the platform economy and the sharing economy. We will speed up efforts to pursue Internet Plus initiatives in all industries and sectors.
We will continue to speed up broadband and lower internet rates. We will launch demo projects to extend 1,000M broadband connectivity to urban homes, upgrade networks for distance education and telemedicine, and expand the capacity of mobile telecommunication base stations and upgrade them, to provide faster and more reliable broadband com1ections for internet users.
This year, average broadband service rates for small and medium enterprises will be lowered by another 15 percent, and average rates for mobile internet services will be further cut by more than 20 percent. Cellphone subscribers nationwide will be able to keep their numbers while switching carriers, and cellphone packages will be regulated to achieve solid fee cuts for all consumers to see.
提升科技支撑能力。加大基础研究和应用基础研究支持力度，强化原始创新，加强关键核心技术攻关。健全以企业为主体的产学研一体化创新机制。扩大国际创新合作。全面加强知识产权保护，健全知识产权侵权惩罚性赔偿制度，促进发明创造和转化运用。科技创新本质上是人的创造性活动。要充分尊重和信任科研人员，赋予创新团队和领军人才更大的人财物支配权和技术路线决策权。进一步提高基础研究项目间接经费占比，开展项目经费使用“包干制”改革试点，不设科目比例限制，由科研团队自主决定使用。要在推动科技体制改革举措落地见效上下功夫，决不能让改革政策停留在口头上、纸面上。大力简除烦苛，使科研人员潜心向学、创新突破。加强科研伦理和学风建设，惩戒学术不端，力戒浮躁之风。我国有世界上最大规模的科技人才队伍，营造良好的科研生态，就一定能够迎来各类英才竞现、创新成果泉涌的生动局面。
We will increase our ability to provide scientific and technological support.
We will increase support for basic research and application-oriented basic research, step up original innovation, and work harder to achieve breakthroughs in core technologies in key fields.
We will build enterprise-led mechanisms for bringing together firms, universities, and research institutes to engage in innovation. Innovation cooperation with other countries will be expanded. We will strengthen intellectual property protection across the board, improve the system of punitive compensation for IP infringements, and promote invention and creation and their industrial application.
Technological innovation is in essence a human creative activity. We must fully respect and trust our scientists and researchers, and empower teams and leaders of innovation by placing more human, financial, and material resources at their disposal and giving them more power to make decisions on technology roadmaps. We will further increase the proportion of indirect funding for basic research projects, pilot the creation of ceilings in funding that enable the retention of unused funds, set no limits on the proportions of spending items, and give research teams the power to decide how to use funds.
We will work to ensure that measures to reform science and technology management systems are fully implemented, and must not allow reform policies to become hollow promises. We will work hard to cut red tape to enable researchers to concentrate on the pursuit of learning, innovation, and breakthroughs. We will strengthen research ethics, improve academic practice, take disciplinary action against academic misconduct, and guard firmly against rash action.
China has the largest pool of scientific and technological personnel in the world. If we foster a healthy research environment, we’ll be sure to see brilliant and capable people emerge in all fields and create a boundless stream of innovations.
进一步把大众创业万众创新引向深入。鼓励更多社会主体创新创业，拓展经济社会发展空间，加强全方位服务，发挥双创示范基地带动作用。强化普惠性支持，落实好小规模纳税人增值税起征点从月销售额3万元提高到10万元等税收优惠政策。改革完善金融支持机制，设立科创板并试点注册制，鼓励发行双创金融债券，支持发展创业投资。改革完善人才培养、使用、评价机制，优化归国留学人员和外籍人才服务。把面向市场需求和弘扬人文精神结合起来，善聚善用各类人才，中国创新一定能更好发展，为人类文明进步作出应有贡献。
We will do more to encourage startups and innovation nationwide.
We will encourage more private actors to engage in innovation and start businesses, expand the space for economic and social development, strengthen comprehensive services, and give play to the pathfinding role of innovation and entrepreneurship demo centers.
We will strengthen inclusive support for innovation and business startups, and implement preferential tax policies such as raising the VAT threshold from 30,000 to 100,000 yuan in monthly sales for small-scale taxpayers.
We will reform and improve financial support mechanisms, establish a science and technology innovation board that will pilot an IPO registration system, encourage the issuing of special bonds for innovation and entrepreneurship, and support the growth of venture capital investment.
We will reform and improve mechanisms for training, employing, and evaluating capable people and provide better services for students returning from overseas and foreign professionals. By combining our response to market demand with a championing of the spirit of humanity, and by bringing together and using well capable people with talents of all kinds, we will be sure to see better development in Chinese innovation, and thus do our part for the progress of human civilization.
（四）促进形成强大国内市场，持续释放内需潜力。充分发挥消费的基础作用、投资的关键作用，稳定国内有效需求，为经济平稳运行提供有力支撑。
4. We will stimulate the development of a robust domestic market and keep unlocking the potential of domestic demand.
We will fully leverage the basic role of consumption and the key role of investment, ensure steady effective domestic demand, and thus boost stable economic performance.
推动消费稳定增长。多措并举促进城乡居民增收，增强消费能力。落实好新修订的个人所得税法，使符合减税政策的约8000万纳税人应享尽享。要顺应消费需求的新变化，多渠道增加优质产品和服务供给，加快破除民间资本进入的堵点。我国60岁以上人口已达2.5亿。要大力发展养老特别是社区养老服务业，对在社区提供日间照料、康复护理、助餐助行等服务的机构给予税费减免、资金支持、水电气热价格优惠等扶持，新建居住区应配套建设社区养老服务设施，改革完善医养结合政策，扩大长期护理保险制度试点，让老年人拥有幸福的晚年，后来人就有可期的未来。婴幼儿照护事关千家万户。要针对实施全面两孩政策后的新情况，加快发展多种形式的婴幼儿照护服务，支持社会力量兴办托育服务机构，加强儿童安全保障。发展壮大旅游产业。稳定汽车消费，继续执行新能源汽车购置优惠政策。发展消费新业态新模式，促进线上线下消费融合发展。健全农村流通网络，支持电商和快递发展。加强消费者权益保护，让群众放心消费、便利消费。
We will promote steady growth in consumption.
We will use a combination of measures to increase urban and rural personal incomes and boost capacity for consumption. We will fully implement the revised Individual Income Tax Law to see that approximately 80 million taxpayers to whom reductions apply get the most out of these policies. We will adapt to new changes in consumption needs, use multiple avenues to increase the supply of quality products and services, and act faster to resolve problems and difficulties blocking the entry of private investment.
The number of people in China aged 60 and above has now reached 250 million. We will take significant steps to develop elderly care, especially community elderly care services. We will provide support to institutions offering services in the community like day care, rehabilitation care, and assisted meals and assisted mobility using measures such as tax and fee cuts and exemptions, funding support, and reduced charges for water, electricity, gas, and heating. New residential areas should include facilities for community elderly care services. We will reform and refine policies for integrating medical and elderly care services, and extend trials for long-term care insurance. Only when the elderly live happily can the young have a future to look forward to.
Infant and child care is important to millions of families. In response to the new demands created by the full implementation of the two -child policy, we will move faster to develop various types of infant and child care services, encourage private actors to run childcare and early childhood education agencies, and provide better protection for the safety of our children.
We will develop and strengthen the tourism industry. To maintain steady automobile consumption, we will continue preferential policies on the purchase of new-energy vehicles. We will develop new forms and models of consumption, and promote the growth of both online and offline consumption. We will improve logistics networks in rural areas and support the development of e-commerce and express delivery services. We will strengthen the protection of consumers’ rights and interests, and ensure worry-free and convenient consumption.
