China and Britain Are on a Winning Course
By H.E. Li Keqiang
Many countries have very high expectations of China, some even to the
extent of seeing China as a global power. As the premier of China, I do have a
good sense of where things stand.
Indeed, China has achieved a quantum leap(巨大突破) in its development, which
is regarded as a remarkable success by the international community. Thanks to
the reform and opening-up process started more than 30 years ago, China has
substantially improved the livelihoods of its people within a generation.
Personally, I do recall vividly my experience of poverty and hunger in my youth,
having been sent to work as a farm boy. By 2013, China's grain output had
continuously increased over ten consecutive years and basically met the food
needs of the 1.3 billion Chinese. Feeding its people has been considered as an
issue "the size of Heaven" since ancient times in China.
At the same time, China's urbanisation(城市化) process is steadily advancing,
with more than half of its people now living in cities and towns. Nine-year free
compulsory education is provided, covering 160 million students. A nationwide
medical service network has been built, covering all its urban and rural
residents. The list can go on and on.
On the other hand, we should keep in mind an old Chinese saying: "One
should always be aware of the strength of others and the shortcoming of
oneself." China is far from achieving its development goals. Measured by World
Bank standards, more than 200 million Chinese still live below the poverty line.
Development is quite uneven between urban and rural areas and among different
regions, with the per capita GDP of some inland provinces being just one third
of the coastal region.
In the process of urbanisation, China faces three pressing tasks, affecting
100 million people each: to help 100 million rural migrants enjoy resident
status in cities and towns in eastern China; to accommodate 100 million rural
people as local residents in cities and towns in central and western China, and
to provide 100 million people living in rundown(裁减，纲要) areas in cities with
decent housing. These undertakings have an impact on 300 million people. It is
indeed a most daunting challenge. A latecomer to modernisation and weighed down
by weak economic foundations, China lags far behind the United Kingdom and other
western countries in many areas. Its quest for modernisation remains a long and
arduous(努力的) one. As premier, my highest priority is to pursue modernisation
through urbanisation and industrialisation.
China's economy needs to grow at a proper rate, expected to be around 7.5
per cent this year. It is slower than the past, but normal. Given the size of
China's economy, its annual economic increment is about one trillion US dollars.
The growth rate in the first quarter of 2014 was 7.4 per cent. Despite
considerable downward pressure, China's economy is moving on a steady course. We
will continue to make anticipatory(预期的) and moderate adjustments when necessary.
We are well prepared to defuse various risks. We are confident that this year's
growth target will be met.
Reform and opening up in the past three decades have delivered better
livelihoods for the Chinese people. And reform and opening up remain key to
realise modernisation. To achieve this goal, we need to stay the course on
market-orientated reform, energise the market, motivate the people, bring out
their ingenuity and open China still wider to the outside world.
We will delegate power and create more space to individuals and the private
sector for economic activities, while enforcing government regulations with
tighter oversight, and imposing tougher penalties on IPR infringement,
environmental pollution and unfair competition. This will give foreign investors
the same level playing field and greater space for development, just like their
Chinese counterparts.
The United Kingdom is a great country and an important partner of China. My
visit has a threefold purpose: first, to discuss ways to deepen co-operation in
various fields and thus spur the growth of our respective economies; second, to
present the real China so as to change misperceptions and ease misgivings; and
third, to draw on British perspectives and experience.
The United Kingdom has a strong economy, dynamic financial sector, advanced
science and technologies; and it leads the world in energy conservation and
environmental protection. China, for its part, has a huge market, large foreign
exchange reserves and a competitive manufacturing sector. Drawing on our
complementary strengths, there are many areas for collaboration. We look forward
to stronger co-operation in finance, infrastructure construction, among others,
and more robust exchanges in research, education, and culture. We look forward
to win-win engagements.
In the 20th century, after going through the baptism of two world wars and
a cold war, humankind has realised that nothing is more valuable than peace. In
today's globalised environment, nations can develop together in a peaceful
manner. While the world continues to face challenges and differences, we need to
be steadfast in insisting on addressing them through dialogue and consultation.
Nothing can make us turn our back on peace.
China is a beneficiary(受益人) and a contributor to peace. We appreciate fully
the difficulty in building peace and the greater difficulty in sustaining it. As
a major country on the world stage, China would dedicate itself to securing
peace and co-operation. China is eager to learn from other nations, will keep
abreast of the trend of the times, will actively engage in global dialogue, and
will promote the 21st century as an era of peace and co-operation.
