六、切實加強政府自身建設
　　VI. Improving Government

　　我們要全面推進依法治國，加快建設法治政府、創新政府、廉潔政府和服務型政府，增強政府執行力和公信力，促進國家治理體系和治理能力現代化。
　　We will fully promote the law-based governance of the country; move more swiftly to build an innovative, clean, service-oriented rule of law government; enhance the government's administrative capacity and public credibility; and modernize China's governance system and capacity for governance.

　　堅持依憲施政，依法行政，把政府工作全面納入法治軌道。
　　We will exercise governance in accordance with the Constitution and other laws and bring all government work in line with the rule of law.

　　憲法是我們根本的活動準則，各級政府及其工作人員都必須嚴格遵守。要尊法學法守法用法，依法全面履行職責，所有行政行為都要于法有據，任何政府部門都不得法外設權。深化行政執法體制改革，嚴格規范公正文明執法，加快推進綜合執法，全面落實行政執法責任制。一切違法違規的行為都要追究，一切執法不嚴不公的現象都必須糾正。
　　The Constitution is the fundamental guide on which our every action should be based; governments at all levels and their employees must faithfully observe it. We must respect, study, abide by, and apply the law, and fully perform our duties in accordance with it. All government activities must have a legal basis, and no government body may assume any power which is not provided for by law. We will deepen reform of the administrative law enforcement system, enforce the law in a strict, well-regulated, impartial, and appropriate manner, press ahead with coordinated law enforcement, and fully implement the accountability system for administrative law enforcement. We must see to it that all violations of laws and regulations are investigated and prosecuted, and all failures to strictly and impartially enforce the law are rectified.

　　堅持創新管理，強化服務，著力提高政府效能。
　　We will develop new ways of conducting regulation, strengthen services, and work to improve government performance.

　　提供基本公共服務盡量采用購買服務方式，第三方可提供的事務性管理服務交給市場或社會去辦。積極推進決策科學化民主化，重視發揮智庫作用。全面實行政務公開，推廣電子政務和網上辦事。各級政府要自覺接受同級人大及其常委會的監督，接受人民政協的民主監督，認真聽取人大代表、民主黨派、工商聯、無黨派人士和各人民團體的意見。我們的所有工作都要全面接受人民的監督，充分體現人民的意愿。
　　In basic public services, we need to do all we can to use service procurement as the means of provision, and routine services that can be provided by a third party should be handed over to the market or society. We will work to ensure decisions are made in a sound and democratic way and place importance on the role of think tanks. We will fully put into practice transparency in government affairs and promote the use of e-government and online administration. All levels of governments must actively accept oversight by people's congresses and their standing committees at their respective administrative level; accept the democratic oversight of CPPCC committees; and earnestly solicit the views of deputies to people's congresses, non-CPC parties, federations of industry and commerce, public figures without party affiliation, and people's organizations. All our work must be subject to the people's oversight and be done in the way they expect it to be done.

　　堅持依法用權，倡儉治奢，深入推進黨風廉政建設和反腐敗工作。
　　We will exercise power in accordance with the law, encourage thrift and oppose extravagance, and work painstakingly to improve Party conduct, promote integrity, and fight corruption.

　　認真落實黨中央八項規定精神，堅持不懈糾正“四風”，繼續嚴格執行國務院“約法三章”。腐敗現象的一個共同特征就是權力尋租，要以權力瘦身為廉政強身，緊緊扎住制度圍欄，堅決打掉尋租空間，努力鏟除腐敗土壤。加強行政監察，發揮審計監督作用，對公共資金、公共資源、國有資產嚴加監管。始終保持反腐高壓態勢，對腐敗分子零容忍、嚴查處。對腐敗行為，無論出現在領導機關，還是發生在群眾身邊，都必須嚴加懲治。
　　We will work conscientiously to implement the CPC Central Committee's eight-point decision on improving Party and government conduct; work tirelessly to oppose formalism, bureaucratism, hedonism, and extravagance; and continue to strictly enforce the State Council's three-point decision on curbing government spending. As rent-seeking is a feature common to all types of corruption, we will shed powers to make government cleaner, truss up the institutional fencing, and resolutely eliminate any room for rent-seeking, thus eradicating the breeding grounds of corruption. We will intensify government supervision, make full use of auditing oversight, and strictly monitor public funds, public resources, and state-owned assets. Our tough stance on corruption is here to stay; our tolerance for corruption is zero, and anyone guilty of corruption will be dealt with seriously. We will see to it that every instance of corruption, should it be committed higher up or lower down, is severely punished.

　　堅持主動作為，狠抓落實，切實做到勤政為民。
　　We will take an active approach to our work, focus on implementation, and work with diligence for the people.

　　經濟發展進入新常態，精神面貌要有新狀態。廣大公務員特別是領導干部要始終把為人民謀發展增福祉作為最大責任，始終把現代化建設使命扛在肩上，始終把群眾冷暖憂樂放在心頭。各級政府要切實履行職責，狠抓貫徹落實，創造性開展工作。完善政績考核評價機制，對實績突出的，要大力褒獎；對工作不力的，要約談誡勉；對為官不為、懶政怠政的，要公開曝光、堅決追究責任。
　　China's economic development has entered a new normal, meaning we must adopt a new attitude. All public servants, especially officials, should always treat it as their greatest responsibility to promote development that benefits the people, carry the task of modernization on their shoulders, and keep the wellbeing of the people at the forefront of their minds. Governments at all levels must fully perform their functions and responsibilities, ensure thorough implementation, and be creative in their work. We will work to improve the mechanisms for assessing performance, and commend those who perform well, admonish those who do not, and expose and hold to account those who are indolent, sloppy, or neglectful of their duties.

　　Building a solid national defense and strong armed forces is fundamental to safeguarding China's sovereignty, security, and developmental interests. We must keep to the Party's goal of strengthening the armed forces under the new conditions, uphold the fundamental principle of the Party's absolute leadership over the armed forces, strengthen our efforts in all areas in a coordinated way to maintain military preparedness, and ensure border, coastal, and air defense stability.

We will coordinate national defense development and economic development and deepen the integration of the military and civil sectors.
