我们要更好地保障和改善民生。发展经济,归根结底是为了人民的幸福。我们将完善保障和改善民生的制度安排,把促进就业放在优先位置,推进基本公共服务均等化,加大收入分配调节力度,使发展成果惠及全体人民。
We will continue to improve the lives of our people. Economic development is aimed at serving people's interests. We will improve social security, increase job creation, promote equal access to public services and balance income distribution. This will ensure that the benefits of development will be shared by all.
我们要建设资源节约型、环境友好型社会。中国人均GDP要向西方国家看齐,但人均能源消费绝不能赶超发达国家,因为我们生活的地球实在承受不起。我们不能走西方国家工业化的老路。我们要节约能源,降低温室气体排放强度,发展循环经济,推广低碳技术,积极应对气候变化,促进经济社会发展与人口资源环境相协调,走可持续发展之路。
We will build an energy-efficient and environment-friendly society. We need to catch up with developed countries in terms of per capita GDP, but not per capita energy consumption, as this would be unsustainable for our planet. China cannot follow the traditional Western way of industrialisation. We must raise energy efficiency, reduce emission intensity, develop a circular economy, extensively apply low-carbon technologies and actively address climate change. We must promote sustainable development, achieving an appropriate balance between economic, social progress and population, resources and the environment.
第四个问题,中国发展了,对世界意味着什么?是福还是祸?是机遇还是威胁?我们不妨看三点:
The fourth and last question: What does China's development mean to the world, a blessing or catastrophe, opportunities or threats? This question can be answered in 3 aspects:
一是中国给世界和平带来威胁了吗?中国奉行独立自主的和平外交政策,庄严地向世界承诺永远不称霸,永远不搞扩张;主张不干涉别国内部事务和谈判解决国际争端;倡导互信、互利、平等、协作的新安全观。中国是联合国安理会常任理事国中派出维和人员最多的国家,累计参与24项联合国维和行动,派出上万名维和人员;中国向索马里海域派出护航舰队,与多国舰队一道打击海盗,维护国际水域的安全;中国大力倡导朝核问题六方会谈,努力维护半岛和地区的和平稳定。无论从中国的外交思想,还是外交行动来看,中国都是世界和平的维护者、稳定的促进者。
Is China a threat to world peace? China follows an independent foreign policy of peace. We solemnly pledged to the world that hegemony or expansion is never an option for China; China stands for non-interference in others' internal affairs and negotiated solutions to international disputes. China believes that security should be based on mutual trust, mutual benefit, equality and coordination. China is the largest contributor of peacekeepers amongst the UN Permanent 5, having sent 10 thousand peacekeepers on 24 UN missions. It has sent escort ships to the waters off the Somali coast and worked with the navies of other countries to combat piracy and improve safety in international waters. It has actively worked to facilitate the Six-Party Talks to uphold peace and the stability of the Korean Peninsula and Northeast Asia. China is in every way an upholder of peace and a facilitator of stability.
二是中国给世界经济带来威胁了吗?金融危机以来,中国为全球经济增长提供了重要支撑。2010年发达国家经济仍步履维艰,在全球有效需求不足的情况下,中国扮演着向全球输出总需求的重要角色。欧盟去年对华出口增长31.9%,英国则增长42%。去年中国经济继续保持两位数增长,对世界经济增长贡献率达到20%。今后10年,中国将继续奉行互利共赢的开放战略,市场对外开放程度将进一步提高,在国际贸易中的比重会不断上升,从国际市场的进口仍会迅速增加。这些对世界各国来说,只会是巨大的发展机遇。
Is China a threat to the world economy? China has been a crucial support for global growth since the start of the financial crisis. It drove global demand at a time when developed countries were in economic difficulties. This was reflected in the 31.9% increase of EU exports and the 42% increase of UK exports to China last year. China maintained a double-digit growth last year, and contributed 20% of global economic growth. China will continue to pursue a strategy of win-win opening-up over the next decade. Its market will open wider, its share in international trade will increase, and its imports will rise. These will no doubt create enormous opportunities for countries around the world.
三是中国对现行国际体系构成威胁了吗?中国作为一个负责任的大国,是国际体系的参与者、建设者和贡献者。我们与发达国家和新兴经济体就促进世界经济金融治理广泛开展合作,共同倡导加强G20机制;我们加强与发展中国家的传统友谊,帮助经济开发和实现减贫,过去两年里中国向其他发展中国家的贷款已经超过了世界银行;我们支持、倡导并践行多边主义,推动国际关系民主化,积极参与区域合作进程,努力促进国际体系更加有效地应对气候变化、能源和资源、粮食安全、恐怖主义等全球性挑战。
Is China a threat to the international system? China has been participating in and contributing to the current international system as a responsible major player. It has entered into extensive cooperation with its partners in developed and emerging economies on the reform of global economic and financial governance, and jointly advocated a greater role of the G20. It has strengthened traditional friendships with other developing countries and helped them develop their economies and reduce poverty. The loans it has provided to other developing countries in the past two years have surpassed those of the World Bank. It supports and practices multilateralism, and stands for greater democracy in international relations. This can be seen by its active participation in regional cooperation, along with the support it gives to tackling global challenges such as climate change, energy, resources, food security and terrorism.
