Premier of the State Council of the People's Republic of China At the General Debate of the 65th Session of the UN General Assembly
New York, 23 September 2010
主席先生，各位同事：
中国是联合国大家庭中的一员，中国的发展变化受到国际社会的高度关注。我愿就如何认识一个真实的中国，谈谈我的看法。 Mr. President, Dear Colleagues,
China is a member of the big family of the United Nations, and China's development and changes have attracted worldwide attention. I wish to take this opportunity to share with you my observations on how one should get to know the real China.中华人民共和国成立以来，特别是改革开放30多年来，中国这个古老的东方大国发生了翻天覆地的变化。
Since the founding of the People's Republic, and especially since the start of reform and opening up more than 30 years ago, profound changes have taken place in China, a big, ancient country in the East.
国家经济实力和综合国力大为增强，人民生活显著改善，社会文明程度大幅提升，国际交流与合作不断扩大。中国已经实现了由解决温饱到总体上达到小康的历史性跨越。Its economic and overall national strength has substantially increased. The livelihood of its people has markedly improved. Its social and cultural programs have made considerable progress. And its exchanges and cooperation with the outside world have kept expanding. In sum, my country has made a historic leap from mere subsistence to moderate prosperity.
中国对自己通过艰苦奋斗而取得的成就感到自豪。同时，我们对今天中国在世界上的位置和作用，也有着清醒的认识。We in China are proud of our achievements accomplished through strenuous efforts. At the same time, we are clear-headed about our place and role in today's world.
中国国内生产总值位居世界第三，但人均水平较低，只相当于发达国家的十分之一左右。中国经济已保持30多年的快速增长，但进一步发展受到能源、资源和环境的制约。
China's GDP is the third largest in the world,but in per capita terms, it is only one-tenth of that of developed countries. China has enjoyed over 30 years of fast growth, but its further
development faces energy,resources and environmental constraints. 中国若干重要产品产量位居世界前列，但总体上仍处于全球产业链的低端。中国已经成为国际贸易大国，但出口产品技术含量和附加值低，核心技术仍然大量依赖进口。
China is a leading producer of many important products, but it remains at the lower end of the global industrial chain. China is a big trading nation, but its exports are low in technology content and value added.In many cases, we have to rely on imports to meet the demand for core technologies.
中国沿海地区和一些大中城市呈现出现代化的繁荣，但中西部和广大农村的不少地方仍然相当落后，还有1.5亿人口生活在联合国设定的贫困线之下。
China's coastal areas and some of the big and medium-sized cities thrive in modernization, but many places in the central and western regions and the vast rural areas are still rather backward, and we have 150 million people living below the poverty line set by the United Nations.
中国民生有了很大改善，但社会保障体系不健全，就业压力很大。中国社会政治生活日趋活跃，公民基本权利得到较好的维护，但民主法制还不够健全，社会不公和贪污腐败等问题依然存在。
The Chinese people's livelihood has made significant improvement, but we do not yet have a full-fledged social
security system, and we are confronted with high employment pressure. Our people are more and more actively engaged in the country's social and political development, and citizens'basic rights and interests are better protected,yet our democracy and legal system still have room for improvement and such social ills as inequity and corruption still exist. 中国现代化走到今天，先进落后并存，新旧矛盾交织，面临诸多前所未有的挑战。中国仍然处于社会主义初级阶段，仍然属于发展中国家。这就是我们的基本国情，这就是一个真实的中国。
China, which has come a long way in modernization, is fairly advanced in some areas of development but remains backward in others.And it faces unprecedented challenges brought by problems both old and new. Taken as a whole,China is still in the primary stage of socialism and remains a developing country. These are our basic national conditions. This is the real China.
主席先生，各位同事！
中国的战略目标是到本世纪中叶，基本实现现代化。展望今后几十年，中国人民将坚定不移地沿着改革开放、和平发展的道路前进。 china has set the strategic goal of basically achieving modernization by the middle of this century. Looking into the
coming decades,the Chinese people will continue to move forward along the path of reform and opening up and peaceful development.
这条道路改变了中国的命运，给全体人民带来了福祉。我们必须坚持它、完善它，而没有任何理由改变它。
This path has changed China's destiny and has benefited people throughout the country. We must stay on this path and make further improvement. There is no reason whatsoever for us to deviate from it.
中国将继续集中精力发展经济。发展仍然是中国的第一要务，是解决一切问题的基础。中国的发展主要依靠自己的力量。
China will continue to focus on developing the economy. Development is our top priority,as it constitutes the basis for addressing all issues. We will mainly rely on our own efforts in pursuing development.
中国工业化城镇化的推进，数以亿计农民进入城镇，将创造有史以来最为巨大的国内需求，开辟极其广阔的市场和发展空间，为中国和世界经济增长提供持久而强劲的动力。
With the progress in China's industrialization and urbanization, hundreds of millions of fanners will move to towns and cities. This will create more domestic demand than
ever, open up broad market and development space, and serve as a powerful engine sustaining the growth of the Chinese economy and the world economy at large.
中国将下大力转变经济发展方式，调整经济结构，走出一条均衡和可持续的发展道路。
We will work hard to transform the economic development pattern,restructure the economy and set out on a path of balanced and sustainable development.中国将继续深化体制改革。我们要不断完善社会主义市场经济体制。毫不动摇地巩固和发展公有制经济，毫不动摇地鼓励、支持、引导非公有制经济发展。 China will continue to deepen institutional reform. We will make consistent effort to improve the socialist market economy. We will unswervingly strengthen and develop the public sector of the economy, and also unswervingly encourage,support and guide the development of the non-public sector.
更加注重保障和改善民生，改革收入分配制度，完善养老、医疗、失业等社会保障体系，扭转城乡、地区和贫富差距扩大的趋势，使每一个公民都能够分享改革开放和发展的成果。
We will pay greater attention to ensuring and improving people's well-being. We will further reform the income distribution system and improve the social security system,
including old-age support, medical care and unemployment benefit programs. We will endeavor to narrow the gap between urban and rural areas, between different regions and between the rich and the poor. We want to make sure that each and every citizen shares the benefit of China's reform,opening up and development.
在深化经济体制改革的同时，要推进和搞好政治体制改革。只有这样，经济体制改革才能最终成功，现代化建设才能不断发展。 While deepening economic restructuring, we will also push forward political restructuring. Otherwise, we cannot achieve the ultimate goal of economic reform and we will lose what we have gained from our modernization drive. 我们要尊重和保障人权，维护社会公平正义，实现人的自由和全面发展，这是民主法治国家的重要标志，也是国家长治久安的基本保障。
We respect and protect human rights,uphold social equity and justice, and strive to achieve the free and all-round development for our people. This is the important hallmark of a democratic country under the rule of law. It is also a basic guarantee for a country's lasting peace and stability.中国将继续扩大对外开放。互利共赢，是我们必须长期坚持的开放战略。我们要遵循国际通行的规则，扩大同世界各国的经贸往来。 China
will
be
even
more
open
to
the
world.
Mutually-beneficial cooperation for win-win progress is a long-term strategy that we will stick to in opening up to the world. We will follow established international rules in expanding business ties with other countries.
我们要进一步改善外商投资环境，优化利用外资结构，创新对外投资与合作方式。中国致力于推动建设公正公平、包容有序的国际金融新秩序和开放自由的国际贸易体系，反对各种形式的保护主义。 We will continue to improve the environment tor foreign investors,optimize the structure of foreign capital utilization and explore new ways for overseas investment and cooperation.
We
are
committed
to
promoting
the
establishment of a fair, equitable, inclusive and well-managed new international financial order and an open and free international trading regime. We are against protectionism in all its manifestations.
在中国现代化的进程中，我们不仅要在经济和科技领域继续吸收和利用世界先进的东西，而且要在社会管理和文化建设等领域大胆借鉴人类文明的成果。
In the course of modernization, we will not only continue to bring in and utilize advanced achievements from the rest of the world in the economic, scientific and technological fields, but also boldly draw upon the achievements of human
civilization in the fields of social management and cultural development.我们将继续发展教育科技。中国缩小同世界先进水平的差距，增强发展的后劲，根本靠什么？一靠教育，二靠科技。 China will continue to develop education,science and technology. How can China narrow the development gap with the advanced countries and enhance the sustainability of its strong growth? I believe two things are of fundamental importance: first, education and second,science and technology. 中国已经制订了发展教育、发展科技的两个中长期规划纲要。我们要着力抓好这两个规划纲要的实施，争取在2020年左右，基本建成人力资源强国和创新型国家。
China has formulated medium-and long-term development programs on education and on science and technology respectively. Going forward, we will focus our efforts on implementing these two programs and build China into a country strong in human resources and innovation by 2020.我们将继续弘扬中华优秀文化。国家发展、民族振兴，不仅需要强大的经济力量，更需要强大的文化力量。
China will continue to carry forward its fine culture. The development of a country and rejuvenation of a nation require not only great economic strength,but more importantly great cultural strength.
五千年中华文明所凝结的道德和智慧，属于中国，也属于世界。我们要大力发展文化事业，加快建立与社会主义现代化建设相适应、与中华民族传统美德相承接的思想道德体系。
The moral values and wisdom drawn from the 5,000-year Chinese civilization belong not only to China but also to the world. We will vigorously develop cultural programs and accelerate the development of a moral and ethical code that is commensurate with our socialist modernization drive and consistent with the traditional virtues of our nation.
我们尊重世界文明的多样性，加强不同文明之间的对话与交流，构建人类共有的精神家园。中华民族不仅能够创造经济奇迹，也一定能够创造新的文化辉煌。
We respect the diversity of civilizations and will increase dialogue and exchanges with other civilizations to forge a common cultural bond for humanity. The Chinese nation,who has created an economic miracle,will create a new cultural splendor as well
