四、加快完善社會主義市場經濟體制和加快轉變經濟發展方式

IV. Accelerating the Improvement of the Socialist Market Economy and the Change of the Growth Model

以經濟建設為中心是興國之要，發展仍是解決我國所有問題的關鍵。只有推動經濟持續健康發展，才能筑牢國家繁榮富強、人民幸福安康、社會和諧穩定的物質基礎。必須堅持發展是硬道理的戰略思想，決不能有絲毫動搖。

Taking economic development as the central task is vital to national renewal, and development still holds the key to addressing all the problems we have in China. Only by promoting sustained and sound economic development can we lay a solid material foundation for enhancing the country's prosperity and strength, improving the people's wellbeing and ensuring social harmony and stability. We must unwaveringly adhere to the strategic thinking that only development counts.

在當代中國，堅持發展是硬道理的本質要求就是堅持科學發展。以科學發展為主題，以加快轉變經濟發展方式為主線，是關系我國發展全局的戰略抉擇。要適應國內外經濟形勢新變化，加快形成新的經濟發展方式，把推動發展的立足點轉到提高質量和效益上來，著力激發各類市場主體發展新活力，著力增強創新驅動發展新動力，著力構建現代產業發展新體系，著力培育開放型經濟發展新優勢，使經濟發展更多依靠內需特別是消費需求拉動，更多依靠現代服務業和戰略性新興產業帶動，更多依靠科技進步、勞動者素質提高、管理創新驅動，更多依靠節約資源和循環經濟推動，更多依靠城鄉區域發展協調互動，不斷增強長期發展后勁。

In contemporary China, pursuing development in a scientific way best embodies the thinking that only development counts. Taking the pursuit of development in a scientific way as the underlying guideline and accelerating the change of the growth model as a major task is a strategic choice we have made for promoting China's overall development. In response to changes in both domestic and international economic developments, we should speed up the creation of a new growth model and ensure that development is based on improved quality and performance. We should fire all types of market participants with new vigor for development, increase motivation for pursuing innovation-driven development, establish a new system for developing modern industries, and create new favorable conditions for developing the open economy. This will make economic development driven more by domestic demand, especially consumer demand, by a modern service industry and strategic emerging industries, by scientific and technological progress, by a workforce of higher quality and innovation in management, by resource conservation and a circular economy, and by coordinated and mutually reinforcing urban-rural development and development between regions. Taking these steps will enable us to sustain long-term development.

堅持走中國特色新型工業化、信息化、城鎮化、農業現代化道路，推動信息化和工業化深度融合、工業化和城鎮化良性互動、城鎮化和農業現代化相互協調，促進工業化、信息化、城鎮化、農業現代化同步發展。

We should keep to the Chinese-style path of carrying out industrialization in a new way and advancing IT application, urbanization and agricultural modernization. We should promote integration of IT application and industrialization, interaction between industrialization and urbanization, and coordination between urbanization and agricultural modernization, thus promoting harmonized development of industrialization, IT application, urbanization and agricultural modernization.

（一）全面深化經濟體制改革。深化改革是加快轉變經濟發展方式的關鍵。經濟體制改革的核心問題是處理好政府和市場的關系，必須更加尊重市場規律，更好發揮政府作用。要毫不動搖鞏固和發展公有制經濟，推行公有制多種實現形式，深化國有企業改革，完善各類國有資產管理體制，推動國有資本更多投向關系國家安全和國民經濟命脈的重要行業和關鍵領域，不斷增強國有經濟活力、控制力、影響力。毫不動搖鼓勵、支持、引導非公有制經濟發展，保證各種所有制經濟依法平等使用生產要素、公平參與市場競爭、同等受到法律保護。健全現代市場體系，加強宏觀調控目標和政策手段機制化建設。加快改革財稅體制，健全中央和地方財力與事權相匹配的體制，完善促進基本公共服務均等化和主體功能區建設的公共財政體系，構建地方稅體系，形成有利于結構優化、社會公平的稅收制度。建立公共資源出讓收益合理共享機制。深化金融體制改革，健全促進宏觀經濟穩定、支持實體經濟發展的現代金融體系，加快發展多層次資本市場，穩步推進利率和匯率市場化改革，逐步實現人民幣資本項目可兌換。加快發展民營金融機構。完善金融監管，推進金融創新，提高銀行、證券、保險等行業競爭力，維護金融穩定。

1. Deepen economic structural reform across the board

Deepening reform is crucial for accelerating the change of the growth model. The underlying issue we face in economic structural reform is how to strike a balance between the role of the government and that of the market, and we should follow more closely the rules of the market and better play the role of the government. We should unwaveringly consolidate and develop the public sector of the economy; allow public ownership to take diverse forms; deepen reform of state-owned enterprises; improve the mechanisms for managing all types of state assets; and invest more of state capital in major industries and key fields that comprise the lifeline of the economy and are vital to national security. We should thus steadily enhance the vitality of the state-owned sector of the economy and its capacity to leverage and influence the economy. At the same time, we must unswervingly encourage, support and guide the development of the non-public sector, and ensure that economic entities under all forms of ownership have equal access to factors of production in accordance with the law, compete on a level playing field and are protected by the law as equals. We should improve the modern market system and strengthen institutional procedures for setting macro-regulation targets and employing policy tools. We should accelerate the reform of the fiscal and taxation systems and ensure that the central and local governments have sufficient financial resources to exercise their respective powers and fulfill their respective responsibilities. We should improve the public finance system to ensure equal access to basic public services and promote the building of functional zones. We should also institute local tax systems and improve the structure of the taxation system to promote social fairness. We should establish a mechanism for equitable sharing of proceeds from public resource transfers. We should deepen reform of the financial system and improve the modern financial system so that it will better contribute to macroeconomic stability and support development of the real economy. We should accelerate development of a multilevel capital market, take steady steps to make interest rates and the RMB exchange rate more market-based, and promote the RMB's convertibility under capital accounts in due course. We should speed up the development of private financial institutions. We should improve financial supervision and oversight, promote financial innovations, improve the competitiveness of banking, securities, insurance and other sectors, and ensure financial stability.

（二）實施創新驅動發展戰略。科技創新是提高社會生產力和綜合國力的戰略支撐，必須擺在國家發展全局的核心位置。要堅持走中國特色自主創新道路，以全球視野謀劃和推動創新，提高原始創新、集成創新和引進消化吸收再創新能力，更加注重協同創新。深化科技體制改革，推動科技和經濟緊密結合，加快建設國家創新體系，著力構建以企業為主體、市場為導向、產學研相結合的技術創新體系。完善知識創新體系，強化基礎研究、前沿技術研究、社會公益技術研究，提高科學研究水平和成果轉化能力，搶占科技發展戰略制高點。實施國家科技重大專項，突破重大技術瓶頸。加快新技術新產品新工藝研發應用，加強技術集成和商業模式創新。完善科技創新評價標準、激勵機制、轉化機制。實施知識產權戰略，加強知識產權保護。促進創新資源高效配置和綜合集成，把全社會智慧和力量凝聚到創新發展上來。

2. Implement the strategy of innovation-driven development

Scientific and technological innovation provides strategic support for raising the productive forces and boosting the overall national strength, and we must give it top priority in overall national development. We should follow a path of making innovation with Chinese features and take steps to promote innovation to catch up with global advances. We should increase our capacity for making original innovation and integrated innovation and for making further innovation on the basis of absorbing advances in overseas science and technology, and place greater emphasis on making innovation through collaboration. We should deepen reform of the system for managing science and technology, promote close integration of science and technology with economic development, and speed up the development of the national innovation system. We should establish a system of technological innovation in which enterprises play the leading role, the market points the way, and enterprises, universities and research institutes work together. We should improve the knowledge-based innovation system, and strengthen basic research, research in frontier technologies, and public benefit-oriented research and development; and we should improve research and our capacity for applying research results to production to ensure that we can obtain the leading strategic position in research and development. We should launch important national science and technology projects to remove major technological bottlenecks. We should speed up the research, development and application of new technologies, products and production processes, strengthen innovation in integration of technologies and develop new business models. We should improve standards for evaluating scientific and technological innovations and mechanisms for rewarding such innovations and applying them to production. We should implement the strategy concerning intellectual property rights and strengthen their protection. We should efficiently allocate and fully integrate innovation resources, and ensure that the wisdom and strength of the whole society are directed toward promoting innovation-driven development.

（三）推進經濟結構戰略性調整。這是加快轉變經濟發展方式的主攻方向。必須以改善需求結構、優化產業結構、促進區域協調發展、推進城鎮化為重點，著力解決制約經濟持續健康發展的重大結構性問題。要牢牢把握擴大內需這一戰略基點，加快建立擴大消費需求長效機制，釋放居民消費潛力，保持投資合理增長，擴大國內市場規模。牢牢把握發展實體經濟這一堅實基礎，實行更加有利于實體經濟發展的政策措施，強化需求導向，推動戰略性新興產業、先進制造業健康發展，加快傳統產業轉型升級，推動服務業特別是現代服務業發展壯大，合理布局建設基礎設施和基礎產業。建設下一代信息基礎設施，發展現代信息技術產業體系，健全信息安全保障體系，推進信息網絡技術廣泛運用。提高大中型企業核心競爭力，支持小微企業特別是科技型小微企業發展。繼續實施區域發展總體戰略，充分發揮各地區比較優勢，優先推進西部大開發，全面振興東北地區等老工業基地，大力促進中部地區崛起，積極支持東部地區率先發展。采取對口支援等多種形式，加大對革命老區、民族地區、邊疆地區、貧困地區扶持力度。科學規劃城市群規模和布局，增強中小城市和小城鎮產業發展、公共服務、吸納就業、人口集聚功能。加快改革戶籍制度，有序推進農業轉移人口市民化，努力實現城鎮基本公共服務常住人口全覆蓋。

3. Carry out strategic adjustment of the economic structure

This is the major goal of accelerating the change of the growth model. We must strive to remove major structural barriers to sustained and sound economic development, with a focus on improving the demand mix and the industrial structure, promoting balanced development between regions and advancing urbanization. We should firmly maintain the strategic focus of boosting domestic demand, speed up the establishment of a long-term mechanism for increasing consumer demand, unleash the potential of individual consumption, increase investment at a proper pace, and expand the domestic market. We should focus on developing the real economy as a firm foundation of the economy. We should adopt policies and measures to better facilitate the development of the real economy. We should make the economy more demand-driven, promote the sound growth of strategic emerging industries and advanced manufacturing industries, speed up the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries, develop and expand the service sector, especially modern service industries, and make the geographical and structural layout of the development of infrastructure and basic industries more balanced. We should develop next-generation information infrastructure and modern IT industry, better ensure information security, and promote the application of information network technologies. We should enhance the core competitiveness of large and medium-sized enterprises and support development of small and micro businesses, especially small and micro science and technology companies. We should continue to implement the master strategy for regional development and fully leverage the comparative advantages of different regions. We should give high priority to large-scale development of the western region, fully revitalize old industrial bases in northeast China, work vigorously to promote the rise of the central region, and support the eastern region in taking the lead in development. We should increase support for old revolutionary base areas, ethnic minority areas, border areas and poor areas through pairing assistance and other means. We should make scientific plans for the scale and layout of urban agglomerations; and we should make small and medium-sized cities and small towns better able to develop industries, provide public services, create jobs, and attract population. We should accelerate reform of the household registration system, conduct registration of rural migrant workers as permanent urban residents in an orderly way, and endeavor to ensure that all permanent urban residents have access to basic urban public services.

（四）推動城鄉發展一體化。解決好農業農村農民問題是全黨工作重中之重，城鄉發展一體化是解決“三農”問題的根本途徑。要加大統籌城鄉發展力度，增強農村發展活力，逐步縮小城鄉差距，促進城鄉共同繁榮。堅持工業反哺農業、城市支持農村和多予少取放活方針，加大強農惠農富農政策力度，讓廣大農民平等參與現代化進程、共同分享現代化成果。加快發展現代農業，增強農業綜合生產能力，確保國家糧食安全和重要農產品有效供給。堅持把國家基礎設施建設和社會事業發展重點放在農村，深入推進新農村建設和扶貧開發，全面改善農村生產生活條件。著力促進農民增收，保持農民收入持續較快增長。堅持和完善農村基本經營制度，依法維護農民土地承包經營權、宅基地使用權、集體收益分配權，壯大集體經濟實力，發展農民專業合作和股份合作，培育新型經營主體，發展多種形式規模經營，構建集約化、專業化、組織化、社會化相結合的新型農業經營體系。改革征地制度，提高農民在土地增值收益中的分配比例。加快完善城鄉發展一體化體制機制，著力在城鄉規劃、基礎設施、公共服務等方面推進一體化，促進城鄉要素平等交換和公共資源均衡配置，形成以工促農、以城帶鄉、工農互惠、城鄉一體的新型工農、城鄉關系。

4. Integrate urban and rural development

Resolving issues relating to agriculture, rural areas and farmers is the number one priority in the Party's work, and integrating urban and rural development provides the fundamental solution to these issues. We should better balance urban and rural development, boost rural development, work to narrow the gap between urban and rural areas, and promote their common prosperity. We should continue to encourage industry to support agriculture in return for agriculture's earlier contribution to its development and encourage cities to support rural areas. We should give more to farmers, take less from them and lift restrictions over their economic activities. We should increase policy support to boost agriculture, benefit farmers and increase rural prosperity, and encourage the rural population to participate in modernization on an equal footing and share in its fruits. We should speed up the development of modern agriculture, raise the overall production capacity of agriculture, and ensure food security and effective supply of major agricultural products in China. We should give high priority to rural areas in developing infrastructure and social programs in the country. We should work harder to build new rural areas, carry out programs of poverty alleviation through development and fully improve rural working and living conditions. We should ensure sustained and fast growth of rural income. We should uphold and improve the basic system for rural operations and protect in accordance with the law farmers' rights to farm the land they have contracted, to use the land on which their houses sit, and to share in the proceeds from rural collective operations. We should strengthen the collective economy, develop specialized cooperatives and joint stock partnerships for farmers, foster new types of agricultural business entities, and develop large-scale agricultural operations in diverse forms. We should establish a new type of system for intensive agricultural operations that are specialized, well organized and commercialized. We should reform the land expropriation system and increase the share of gain in land value to farmers. We should speed up improvements to institutions and mechanisms for promoting integrated urban and rural development, with a focus on integrating urban and rural planning, infrastructure and public services. We should ensure equal exchange of factors of production between urban and rural areas and balance allocation of public resources between them. What we aim to achieve is a new type of relations between industry and agriculture and between urban and rural areas in which industry promotes agriculture, urban areas support rural development, agriculture and industry benefit each other, and there is integrated urban and rural development.

（五）全面提高開放型經濟水平。適應經濟全球化新形勢，必須實行更加積極主動的開放戰略，完善互利共贏、多元平衡、安全高效的開放型經濟體系。要加快轉變對外經濟發展方式，推動開放朝著優化結構、拓展深度、提高效益方向轉變。創新開放模式，促進沿海內陸沿邊開放優勢互補，形成引領國際經濟合作和競爭的開放區域，培育帶動區域發展的開放高地。堅持出口和進口并重，強化貿易政策和產業政策協調，形成以技術、品牌、質量、服務為核心的出口競爭新優勢，促進加工貿易轉型升級，發展服務貿易，推動對外貿易平衡發展。提高利用外資綜合優勢和總體效益，推動引資、引技、引智有機結合。加快走出去步伐，增強企業國際化經營能力，培育一批世界水平的跨國公司。統籌雙邊、多邊、區域次區域開放合作，加快實施自由貿易區戰略，推動同周邊國家互聯互通。提高抵御國際經濟風險能力。

5. Promote all-around improvements to China's open economy

In response to new developments in economic globalization, we must implement a more proactive opening up strategy and improve the open economy so that it promotes mutual benefit and is diversified, balanced, secure and efficient. We should move faster to change the way the external-oriented economy grows, and make China's open economy become better structured, expand in scope and yield greater returns. We should make innovations in the mode of opening up; encourage coastal, inland and border areas to draw on each other's strengths in opening up; develop open areas that take the lead in global economic cooperation and competition; and form leading areas of opening up that drive regional development. We should continue to attach equal importance to export and import, better coordinate trade and industrial policies, and make China's exports more competitive in terms of technology, brand, quality and service. We should transform and upgrade processing trade, develop service trade, and promote balanced development of foreign trade. We should make full use of our overall advantageous position in utilizing foreign capital and make better use of such investment. We should step up efforts to attract investment, technology and high-caliber professionals from overseas. Chinese companies should expand overseas presence at a faster pace, enhance their operation in an international environment, and develop a number of world-class multinational corporations. We should make overall planning for bilateral, multilateral, regional and sub-regional opening up and cooperation, accelerate implementation of the strategy of building free trade areas, and promote infrastructure connectivity with our neighboring countries. We should become better able to defuse international economic risks.

我們一定要堅定信心，打勝全面深化經濟體制改革和加快轉變經濟發展方式這場硬仗，把我國經濟發展活力和競爭力提高到新的水平。

We must have firm confidence in winning the tough battle of deepening reform of the economic structure across the board and of accelerating the change of the growth model so as to increase the vitality and competitiveness of China's economy.
