  ——Consumer price inflation kept at around 3.5%.
 
  ——More than 10 million new urban jobs, with the registered urban unemployment rate kept within 4.6%.
 
  ——A planned fiscal deficit of 1.35 trillion yuan, an increase of 150 billion yuan over the previous year.
 
  ——This year, more than 200 additional items subject to administrative approval will be canceled or delegated to lower levels.
 
  ——All government spending on official overseas visits, official vehicles, and official hospitality funded by fiscal allocations will be made public.

  ——Remove all kinds of barriers that hinder the formation of a unified national market.
 
  ——Reduce the number of rural poor by more than 10 million this year. We will continue to wage war on poverty and ensure that poverty is not passed down from generation to generation.
 
  ——In the period ahead, enable about 100 million rural residents to become urban residents, redevelop rundown urban areas and urban villages housing about 100 million people, and guide about 100 million people in the central and western regions to become urbanized locally.
 
  ——Increase the number of rural students from poor areas enrolled in key universities by more than 10%, giving more children from farming families the opportunity to receive higher education.
 
  ——Expand the pilot comprehensive reform of county-level public hospitals to 1,000 counties, covering 500 million rural residents.
 
  ——Adhere unswervingly to the basic state policy of family planning and implement the policy allowing couples to have two children if one of them is an only child.
 
  ——Encourage reading among all citizens.
 
  ——Ensure that urban and rural residents' incomes grow in step with the economy, so that the broad masses can truly feel the benefits.
 
  ——Ensure that everyone in difficulty receives social care and warmth.
 
  ——Intensify the construction of government-subsidized housing; this year, start construction on more than 7 million units, including more than 4.7 million units in various rundown areas.
 
  ——With the strictest oversight, the harshest penalties, and the most serious accountability, resolutely tackle pollution on the dining table and effectively ensure food safety.
 
  ——Declare war on pollution as we do on poverty.
 
  ——Advance military struggle preparations in all directions and fields in a coordinated manner.
 
  ——Make the peaceful development of cross-strait relations an irresistible and irreversible historical trend.
 
  ——Safeguard the outcomes of the victory of World War II and the post-war international order, and never allow anyone to turn back the wheel of history.
