【正确答案】正确答案: Twenty-six years have gone by since China began its reform and opening-up. Earth-shaking changes have taken place in China. Thanks to sustained rapid growth, China's GDP has gone up from less than $150 billion to $ 1. 65 trillion, its foreign trade increased from $20. 6 billion to $ 1.15 trillion, its share of the world economy has risen from some 1 percent to nearly 4 percent, and it has climbed to third place in global trade. China's society has taken on a new look, as the living standards of the people keep improving. China's per-capita GDP grew from $ 190 to over $ 1, 200. The Chinese Government has helped over 200 million rural poor out of poverty, and provided subsistence allowance to over 20 million low-income city dwellers. Boasting the world's largest mobile phone consumer group and the third largest automobile market, China has the world's largest fixed line telephone network and mobile phone network, and the second largest public Internet with the number of users rising over 150 times within eight years to over 100 million. The Chinese society further opens. With 28. 85 million outbound visitors and more than 100 million inbound visitors last year, China has become the fourth largest tourist market in the world. Facts have proven that China's development not only benefits the 1. 3 billion Chinese people, but also contributes to economic growth in Asia and the world as a whole. About 20 percent of last year's global growth was owed to China's contribution. China's development also spurs the progress of human civilizations, enriches the diversity of the world and promotes peace and stability in regions and around the world. By successfully feeding, clothing and sheltering one-fifth of the world's population, China has made an important contribution to the stability and development in the world. We should be aware that China's huge population, weak economic foundation, uneven development of its different regions, and the per-capita GDP level that ranks well behind 100th place in the world would mean numerous problems, difficulties and challenges in its road to progress. China still has a long way to go before it realizes modernization and enables its people to lead a prosperous life. We expect nothing but a long period of persistent hard work. We will work even harder to advance economic restructuring, vigorously work to develop science and technology, education, culture, health and sports, promote socialist cultural and ethical progress, create more jobs, improve social security work and raise people's living standards, strengthen democracy and the legal system and maintain social stability. Currently, we are following the Outlook on Scientific Development, promoting our economic, political and cultural development and building a harmonious society. We are united with one heart and one mind, continue our concerted and unyielding efforts, and achieve further successes in reform, opening up and the modernization drive. We have full confidence in the bright future of our great motherland.
