Comrades, friends, ladies and gentlemen,
“Time stops for no one, and the seasons keep changing.” As we usher1 in 2019, I’d like to extend my New Year wishes from Beijing to you all!
2018 has been a full year, and we approached it with steadfast2 determination. Despite all sorts of risks and challenges, we pushed our economy towards high-quality development, sped up the replacement3 of the old drivers of growth, and kept the major economic indicators4 within a reasonable range. We made headway in our efforts to protect our blue skies, clean rivers and soil from pollution. And we intensified5 our efforts to improve people’s wellbeing and steadily6 raise our standard of living. National strategies such as the coordinated7 development of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, and the construction of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area were steadfastly8 implemented9. During my inspection10 tours around the country, I was pleased to see the lush green banks of the Yangtze River, the ocean of rice sprouting11 from the 1,100-hectare pilot plot at Jiansangjiang Ranch12, the lively Shenzhen Qianhai Harbor, the bustling13 Shanghai Zhangjiang High-tech14 Park, and the bridge that brings together Hong Kong, Zhuhai, and Macao. These achievements are all thanks to the hard work of people from all of China’s ethnic15 groups, who are the trail-blazers of the new era.
Over the past year, our country has continued to change thanks to home-grown initiatives in manufacturing, innovation, and construction. We successfully launched the Chang’e-4 lunar probe; our second aircraft carrier set sail on its trial voyage; our domestically-made large amphibious aircraft took to the skies for the first time; and the Beidou Satellite Navigation System has gone global. Let me take this opportunity to salute16 every scientist, every engineer, and every nation builder who made these achievements possible.
We have also made great strides in our poverty alleviation17 efforts in the past year. Another 125 poor counties and 10 million poverty-stricken rural residents were lifted out of poverty. We reduced the price of 17 cancer-fighting drugs, and included them on our medical insurance list. And we are continuing to tackle the financial strain that can accompany a family member falling ill. Our comrades on the front lines of the fight against poverty are often in my thoughts, including the 2.8-million officials living and working in villages, and the local village leaders. They are devoted18 to their work and do an awesome19 job, and I wish them good health.
My heart goes out to the people living in hardship. In Sanhe Village of Liangshan in Sichuan Province, I visited the families of two villagers from the Yi people. In Sanjianxi Village in Jinan City in Shandong Province, I sat down with the family of Zhao Shunli to hear about their day-to-day lives. In the Donghuayuan community in the city of Fushun in Liaoning Province, I visited Chen Yufang’s family to learn about how they were settling in after being relocated from a dangerous area. In Lianzhang Village in Qingyuan in Guangdong Province, I discussed with a villager named Lu Yihe how we could help to relieve his household’s poverty. I can vividly20 recall their down-to-earth sincerity21. I would like to wish all of them and their fellow villagers a prosperous and thriving New Year.
In 2018, we celebrated22 the 40th anniversary of China’s reform and opening up. We unveiled a comprehensive and systematic23 overhaul24 of both Party and State institutions. We launched over 100 major reform measures, held the first China International Import Expo, and began construction of a pilot free trade zone in Hainan. The world has seen China’s accelerating reform and opening up, and its determination to carry it forward. China’s reforms will never stop, and its doors will only open ever wider.
I noticed that in the past year, most of the people who went into college when enrollments first resumed in 1977 have retired25. In their place, a large number of people born after the year 2000 have entered into university. More than 100 million people from our rural areas are gradually becoming permanent residents in our cities. 13 million have found jobs, and construction has begun on 5.8 million new homes for those people living in dilapidated houses. Many have already moved into their new warm homes. Many people from Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan now have resident permits for the mainland, and Hong Kong has become a stop on our high-speed railway network. China, as a country of people on the move, is energetically pursuing prosperity. We are running at full speed towards the realization26 of our dreams.
At this point, I’d like to mention several leading lights. There’s Nan Rendong, a Chinese scientist after whom an asteroid27 was named a few months ago; Lin Junde and Zhang Chao, who joined the long list of exemplary soldiers in the People’s Liberation Army; Wang Jicai, who for thirty-two years served on a border island; and Huang Qun, Song Yuecai, and Jiang Kaibin, who sacrificed their lives protecting an experimental offshore28 platform; and there are many others who have made the ultimate sacrifice for their country. They are the most admirable people in China’s new era, and we should remember their names forever, and learn from their deeds.
In 2018, China played host to many friends, both old and new. We hosted the annual Bo’ao Forum29 for Asia, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit in Qingdao, as well as the Beijing Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation. We put China’s proposals on the table and made our voice heard at these and other diplomatic events. Me and my colleagues visited five continents and attended many important diplomatic occasions. We spoke30 with state leaders about wide-ranging issues, we strengthened our friendships, we enhanced mutual31 trust, and we enlarged our circle of friends.
In 2019, we will celebrate the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China. Our country has braved thorny32 paths and confronted stormy weather over the past seventy years. Our people are the country’s solid foundation and our main source of confidence as the ruling party. Through the years, China’s people have been self-reliant and worked diligently33 to create miracles that the world has marveled at. And now, looking forward, despite the complexities34 and difficulties we may face on the road ahead, we shall always closely rely on the people and their spirit of self-striving and hard work. With rock-solid confidence, and racing35 against time with unwavering determination, we will carry forward our great cause bit-by-bit, and leave enduring footprints behind us.
2019 will see both opportunities and challenges that will require us to work together shoulder-to- shoulder. Policies to cut taxes and fees must take root in order to ease the burden on enterprises. We must show our sincere appreciation36 to talent of all kinds, and stimulate37 their creative energy. We must lend an ear to our officials at the grassroots, and bring energy and greater purpose to those who are ready to commit to making a difference. We shall remain focused and work hard to achieve our task of lifting another 10 million rural residents out of poverty as planned. We shall take better care of our retired servicemen and women – they have made great contributions to this country. Even as we speak, there are deliverymen, street cleaners, taxi drivers, and countless38 others who are hard at work. We should share our gratitude39 with these workers who contribute to the creation of our beautiful society. Their hard work is much appreciated.
Looking at the world at large, we’re facing a period of major change that’s rarely seen in a century. No matter what these changes bring, China will remain resolute40 and confident in its defense41 of its national sovereignty and security. And China’s sincerity and goodwill42 to safeguard world peace and promote common development will remain unchanged. We will continue to push ahead with the construction of the Belt and Road Initiative, and continue to advocate for the development of a community of shared future for mankind. And we will work tirelessly for a prosperous and beautiful world.
As we ring in the New Year, let’s embrace 2019 with confidence and expectation.
I give my best wishes to China! And my best wishes to the world!
Thank you!
