Fellow Deputies,
On behalf of Zhejiang Provincial Government, I will now report to you on the work of the government and ask for your deliberation and approval. I also invite comments from members of the Provincial Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) and those who are present.
I. 2018 in Review
The year 2018 is the 40th anniversary of the reform and opening up, the 15th anniversary of the implementation of the "double eight strategies", and the first year of the new provincial government. Over the past year, in the face of the complicated external environment and the arduous and heavy tasks of reform and development, under the firm leadership of the Party Central Committee, the State Council, and the Zhejiang Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China, the provincial government, guided by Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, fully implemented the spirit of the 19th CPC National Congress and the Second and Third Plenary Sessions of the 19th CPC Central Committee, earnestly carried out the important instructions of General Secretary Xi Jinping on the work of Zhejiang Province, and thoroughly implemented the spirit of the 14th Provincial Party Congress. We pursued coordinated progress in the five-sphere integrated plan, and balanced progress in the four-pronged comprehensive strategy. To deepen the "double eight strategies" and re-start the reform and opening up, we fully carried out the policies and plans of the Provincial Party Committee and the tasks set by the 13th National People's Congress. We followed the general principle of pursuing progress while ensuring stability, and adhered to the new development concept and the main line of supply-side structural reform. We focused on high-quality, competitiveness and modernization, solidly promoted the ten major action plans for enriching the people and strengthening the province, and strived to win the three major battles. We continued to focus on high-quality development and pooled our financial resources to do major projects. As a result, the province's economy continued to develop healthily, the society maintained harmonious and stable, and the ten aspects of people's livelihood were successfully completed, with a good beginning in the "two high-level" development. The GDP of the province increased by 7.1%, the general public budget revenue rose to the fourth place in the country, an increase of 11.1%, and the per capita disposable income of urban and rural residents increased by 8.4% and 9.4% respectively, with a good momentum in quality development. Our “Green Rural Revival Program” won the UN’s Champions of the Earth Award, and Zhejiang’s popularity and influence were further enhanced.
1. Solid actions on reform and opening up
Reforms such as “maximum one visit service procedure” have been comprehensively deepened. According to the requirements of the Standing Committee of the Provincial People's Congress, we formulated regulations for the reform towards “maximum one visit service procedure” and achieved "access at one window, via one network, with one certificate, via one visit". 100% of the matters can be handled online, and 63.6% of the matters concerning people's livelihood can be handled with one certificate, which is more convenient for the people. The whole process of approval for an enterprise to start its project needs “maximum one visit” and takes at most 100 days. We deepened the reform of the commercial system, and the normalized enterprise start-up time is compressed to 4 business days, which is more convenient for business investment. We deepened the reform towards "acre-based assessment", with an increase of 9.8% in the average tax revenue per mu of industrial enterprises, and an increase of 7.4% in the average added value per mu. The pace of reform and development of state-owned enterprises has accelerated, and a unified supervision system for state-owned assets has been initially established in provinces, cities and counties. The provincial government has fully completed the task of institutional reform.
We have further advanced the opening policy in depth. With a cargo throughput of 1.08 billion tons, Ningbo Zhoushan Port has ranked first in the world for 10 consecutive years. Its container throughput is of 26.35 million TEUs, which is the third largest in the world. We have promoted the expansion of China (Zhejiang) Free Trade Pilot Zone, the smooth on-going of Zhoushan Green Petrochemical Industry Project, and the completion of the first Boeing aircraft. Cross-border e-commerce imports and exports increased by 35%. The “Yiwu-Xinjiang-Europe” train has run 320 times, and the “Belt and Road” Czech station is now in operation.

Transportation investment, high-tech industry investment, and private investment increased by 25.8%, 22.6%, and 17.8% respectively. The investment of the returned Zhejiang merchants reached 528.5 billion yuan, and the actual use of foreign capital was 18.6 billion US dollars.

7. Solid actions on improvement of governing abilities
We have taken active measures to learn and understand Xin Jinping thought on socialism with Chinese characteristics for the new era, to keep firmly in mind the need to maintain political integrity, think in big-picture terms, follow the leadership core, and keep in alignment, to strengthen our confidence in the path, theory, system, and culture of socialism with Chinese characteristics, to resolutely uphold General Secretary Xi Jinping’s core position on the Party Central Committee and in the Party as a whole, and resolutely uphold the Party Central Committee’s authority and its centralized, unified leadership. Focusing on deepening the "double eight strategies" and restarting reform and opening up, we took solid actions on study, research, and implementation, formulated the ten major action plans for enriching the people, and solidly promoted the construction of Zhejiang at high levels. We further implemented the government's improvement action plan, promoted research and investigation, and formulated a series of long-term plans and policies. We did our best to solve major problems and do practical things, to ensure a good start. Focusing on planning and implementation, we improved the working rules of the Provincial Government, and established the indicator system, work system, policy system and evaluation system. We started the digital transformation of the government, and the government service network has become an influential public data platform in the country, with the promotion of applications such as "Zheliban" and "Zhezhengding" mobile offices. We established the legal advisor system at every level of the province, the city, the county and town, promoting all levels of government to rule by law, to be clean and honest, to continuously improve administrative quality, administrative efficiency, and government credibility, so as to build a service-oriented government that the people are satisfied with.
Fellow deputies, in the past year, when the external environment has undergone profound changes and the risks and challenges have increased significantly, our achievements have not been easy. This is the result of the firm leadership of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core, the result of the correct leadership and scientific decisions of the Provincial Party Committee, and the result of the hard work of the cadres at all levels and the people in the province. Here, on behalf of the Provincial People's Government, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to the people of the province, the builders and the Zhejiang-based units of the Central Government. I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to the deputies of the National People's Congress, the CPPCC members, the democratic parties, the Federation of Industry and Commerce, the people's organizations and people from all walks of life! I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to the People's Liberation Army in Zhejiang, the officers and soldiers of the Armed Police Force, the police officers, and the fire fighters. I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to the Hong Kong and Macao compatriots, Taiwan compatriots, overseas Chinese and friends at home and abroad who care about the development of Zhejiang.
We are also clearly aware that there are still many contradictions and problems in the economic and social development of Zhejiang Province. Mainly: we have changes in what is a generally stable economic performance, some of which have caused concern; the private enterprises and the real economy are facing more and more difficulties, and the downward pressure on the economy has increased; the problem of imbalanced and insufficient development and structural contradictions have not been fundamentally resolved; the quality and efficiency of development are still not high enough, the ability of innovation is not strong enough, and the task of upgrading traditional industries is still heavy; P2P illegal online loans and illegal fund-raising risks are prominent, and the task of financial risk prevention and control is still arduous; we still have a long way to go in ecological environmental protection, and there are still many shortcomings in the people's livelihood, where the people are dissatisfied with education, medical care, old-age care, and public services; security risks are still at a high level, fires and traffic accidents are frequently occurring, and risk management and control capabilities need to be improved. At the same time, a small number of government workers fail to work in accordance with the law, to take responsibility or take actions, as they value more superficial impressions than solid actions. The burden at the grassroots level is still heavy, and the administrative quality and efficiency are still to be improved; there are still many problems with Party conduct, where corruption occurs occasionally, and the task of building a clean and honest government has been arduous.
We must adhere to the bottom line thinking, enhance the sense of urgency, seize the main contradictions, and effectively solve them.
II. Targets and key tasks in 2019
The year 2019 is the 70th anniversary of the founding of New China, and a crucial year for building a well-off society at a high level. Facing an external environment full of uncertainties and the long-term development trend of China's economy, we have the following overall demands for this year's work: comprehensively implement the spirit of the 19th National Congress of the CPC and the Economic Work Conference of the Central government; hold high the great banner of Xin Jinping thought on socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era; pursue coordinated progress in the five-sphere integrated plan, and balanced progress in the four-pronged comprehensive strategy; always remember and practice General Secretary Xi Jinping's expectation on Zhejiang; With the theme of "double eight strategies" and restart of reform and opening up, and by implementing the top ten action plans to enrich the people, we shall follow the general principle of pursuing progress while ensuring stability, pursue high-quality development, and the main line of supply-side structural reform; keep market-oriented reforms, and expand high-level openness; make efforts to stabilize enterprises, increase momentum, and ensure security; work holistically to maintain stable growth, advance reform, make structural adjustments, improve living standards, and guard against risks; improve people's sense of acquisition, happiness, security; maintain sustained and healthy economic development and social stability; lay a foundation for building a moderately prosperous society at a high level, and mark the 70th anniversary of the People's Republic of China with remarkable achievement.
According to the spirit of the Provincial Economic Work Conference, it is suggested that the main expected aims in economic and social development of the province in 2019 is: the province's GDP shall increase by about 6.5%, while we strive for higher quality and better results; R&D expenditure shall account for 2.6%; the general public budget income, the income growth of urban and rural residents and the economic growth shall be basically synchronized; the labor productivity of all employees shall be steadily increased, and in energy conservation, emission reduction and carbon reduction, we shall complete the target tasks assigned by the state.
In practice, we shall focus on two major orientations:
First, we have to adhere to the bottom line thinking and take the initiative to deal with difficulties, risks and challenges. We must seize the important strategic opportunity period, take the risks and challenges as an opportunity to solve our own problems, so as to push for reform and innovation. We must never retreat in the face of difficulties, never get impatient in hard work, and never get relaxed. We must maintain strategic strength, improve risk prevention and control system, and improve risk management and control capabilities. We must identify risks in advance, accurately grasp the risk direction, identify major problems in time, and make scientific decisions decisively. We must do a good job of preventing and resolving major risks, and confine risks and hazards to their own territories, and eliminate them in the bud before they break out. We must carry forward the spirit of struggle, improve fighting skills, and resolutely set off political responsibilities to prevent and resolve various risks, so that we can firmly hold the bottom line of political security, economic security, ecological security, and public security.
Second, we must be committed to high-quality development, competitiveness and modernization. We must adhere to the people-centered idea of development, and comprehensively implement the digital new policy, sci-tech new policy, talent new policy, and the new policy of ecological civilization, so that we can do a good job in high-quality development, stimulate the vitality of the market, enterprises and the public, and continuously promote the upgrading of Zhejiang economy. We must adhere to the advanced standards, strive for the first, and deepen reforms comprehensively with the "maximum one visit service procedure" reform as the lead. We must expand the opening up comprehensively under the "Belt and Road" initiative, vigorously promote comprehensive innovation with science and technology as the core, and enhance the competitiveness of the regions, industries, enterprises and brands, so as to create a “golden business card” of Zhejiang in the new era. We must take people's modernization as the core, and the people's yearning for a better life as the goal of struggle, so as to constantly promote the all-round development of the people and the overall progress of the society, and accelerate the building of a prosperous, strong, democratic, civilized, harmonious and beautiful socialist modernization of Zhejiang.
To do a good job this year, we must fully implement the principles of “consolidating, enhancing, upgrading, and smoothing” in the supply-side structural reforms, firmly grasp and make use of opportunities, and work hard to solve problems and overcome difficulties. With our efforts in serving the enterprises, the people and the grass-roots units, we must work hard to do a good job in stabilization, to meet changes with stabilization, and promote the high-level development step by step.
1. Making solid efforts to stabilize enterprises and growth
We must do our utmost to ensure that the policy of supporting the high-quality development of the private economy is implemented. For an in-depth implementation of the important instructions of General Secretary Xi Jinping at the private enterprise forum, we must firmly support the private economy, fully implement the 31 regulations concerning private economy, focus on stimulating the vitality of the micro-subject, and enhance the momentum for enterprise innovation and development. We will adopt the “white list” system for enterprises to help quantify the list of demands for bonds issued by private enterprises, the list of subsidies for listed companies' pledges, and the list of difficult enterprises, so as to prevent the liquidity risk of private enterprises and the risk of equity pledges. We will carry out the micro-enterprise credit aeration program and the drip irrigation project for financial service to effectively solve the problem of financing difficulties. We will establish a working platform and long-term mechanism for serving private enterprises, and support Wenzhou to create a healthy pioneering area in the new era. We will ensure the personal and property safety of entrepreneurs in accordance with the law, and guide private enterprises to adhere to industry and strengthen the main business, so as to promote the private economy for more achievements.
We will vigorously promote tax cuts and fee reductions. Like raising fish, we need to let them relax, to make new measures to increase the mobilization of enterprises, and to have a new round of burden reduction on enterprises. We must reduce the actual burden of enterprises in social security contributions, reduce industrial and commercial electricity prices, and resolutely control arbitrary charges and fines. We must make efforts to ensure that the tax reduction policy be implemented in a down-to-earth manner, and that the burden on enterprises be cut by more than 150 billion yuan, so as to enhance the sense of corporate gain.

We will develop new models such as market procurement, comprehensive foreign trade service platform, and cross-border e-commerce. We will promote reduction of certificates at the port, reduce fees, raise speed and increase efficiency, so as to construct a leading “single window” for international trade.

We will actively participate in the construction of a strong domestic market, accelerate the transformation and upgrading of the professional market, and cultivate hotspots such as service consumption, information consumption, green consumption, customized consumption, smart consumption, fashion consumption, etc., and create a number of new retail benchmark cities, new retail demonstration enterprises and high-grade pedestrian streets, so as to promote the accumulation of high-end consumption and accelerate the construction of new trade centers. We will vigorously implement the action of worry-free consumption, improve the system of no reason to return, clear pricing, payment security, etc., and make the same goods the same price and quality online and offline. We will cultivate 20,000 demonstration enterprises of worry-free consumption, 10,000 enterprises of no reason to return, and 300 worry-free markets in the urban and rural areas, and make Zhejiang a famous place for “worry-free consumption”, so as to stimulate the residents' consumption potential.

We will increase unconventionally financial technology investment, guide enterprises to increase investment in research and development, and strive to increase the province's research and development expenditures by more than 12%.
We must firmly carry out the "No. 1 Project" of digital economy.

We will support Hangzhou to build the first national digital economy city, and support Wuzhen to create a national Internet innovational comprehensive experimental zone. We will take the lead to launch 5G commercialization, promote the application of urban brain and electronic invoices, accelerate the construction of a province of mobile payment, and strive to be a national demonstration province of digital economy.
