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 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.

各位代表！
Fellow Deputies,
進入新時代，政府工作在新的一年要有新氣象新作為。要牢固樹立“四個意識”，堅定“四個自信”，堅決維護習近平總書記核心地位，堅決維護黨中央權威和集中統一領導，落實全面從嚴治黨要求，加強政府自身建設，深入推進政府職能轉變，為人民提供優質高效服務。
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.
全面推進依憲施政、依法行政。嚴格遵守憲法法律，加快建設法治政府，把政府活動全面納入法治軌道。堅持嚴格規范公正文明執法，有權不可任性，用權必受監督。各級政府要依法接受同級人大及其常委會的監督，自覺接受人民政協的民主監督，主動接受社會和輿論監督，認真聽取人大代表、政協委員意見，聽取民主黨派、工商聯、無黨派人士和各人民團體意見。政府要信守承諾，決不能“新官不理舊賬”。全面推進政務公開。堅持科學、民主、依法決策，凡涉及公眾利益的重大事項，都要深入聽取各方意見包括批評意見。人民政府的所有工作都要體現人民意愿，干得好不好要看實際效果、最終由人民來評判。
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.
全面加強黨風廉政建設。推進“兩學一做”學習教育常態化制度化，認真開展“不忘初心、牢記使命”主題教育。堅決貫徹落實黨中央八項規定及實施細則精神，馳而不息整治“四風”，特別是力戒形式主義、官僚主義。加強審計監督。鞏固發展反腐敗斗爭壓倒性態勢，把權力關進制度的籠子，堅決懲治各類腐敗行為。政府工作人員要廉潔修身，勤勉盡責，干干凈凈為人民做事，決不辜負人民公仆的稱號。
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。優化政府機構設置和職能配置，深化機構改革，形成職責明確、依法行政的政府治理體系，增強政府公信力和執行力。中國改革發展的一切成就，都是干出來的。對各級政府及其工作人員來說，為人民干事是天職、不干是失職。要完善激勵約束、容錯糾錯機制，旗幟鮮明給積極干事者撐腰鼓勁，對庸政懶政者嚴肅問責。決不能表態多調門高、行動少落實差，決不允許占著位子不干事。廣大干部要提高政治素質和工作本領，求真務實，干字當頭，干出實打實的新業績，干出群眾的好口碑，干出千帆競發、百舸爭流的生動局面。
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.
各位代表！

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.

The governments and chief executives of the two regions have our full support in exercising law-based governance and in their efforts to achieve strong economic growth, improve living standards, progressively advance democracy, and promote social harmony.
We will support Hong Kong and Macao in integrating their own development into overall national development, and will boost exchanges and cooperation between the mainland and the two regions. We have every confidence that Hong Kong and Macao will develop and thrive together with the mainland.
我們要繼續貫徹對臺工作大政方針，堅持一個中國原則，在“九二共識”基礎上推動兩岸關系和平發展，推進祖國和平統一進程。堅決維護國家主權和領土完整，絕不容忍任何“臺獨”分裂圖謀和行徑。擴大兩岸經濟文化交流合作，逐步為臺灣同胞在大陸學習、創業、就業、生活提供與大陸同胞同等待遇。兩岸同根，骨肉相親。兩岸同胞順應歷史大勢、共擔民族大義，必將共創中華民族偉大復興的美好未來！
We will continue to implement the principles and policies on our work related to Taiwan, uphold the one-China principle, promote the peaceful growth of cross-Strait relations on the basis of the 1992 Consensus, and advance China’s peaceful reunification. 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.
