These remarkable achievements can be attributed to the correct leadership of the CPC Central Committee, the State Council, the CPC Shandong Provincial Committee, the Shandong Provincial Government, and the CPC Qingdao Committee, as well as supervision by and support from the Municipal People's Congress and the Municipal Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. And also, they can be attributed to the untiring hard work of the people in Qingdao. In particular, they are results of the common efforts and participation contributed by all respects of society. On behalf of the Qingdao Municipal People’s Government, I hereby extend the highest esteem to the people of Qingdao for their selfless contribution and industrious work. My sincere thanks also go to the deputies of the Municipal People Congress and the members of the Municipal Political Consultative Conference for their strong support for government work, to all the democratic parties, to the Federation of Industry and Commerce and to people in other circles, to the armed forces and armed police deployed in Qingdao, to all the departments of the central government and to all departments of Shandong provincial government deployed in Qingdao, and to all friends from both home and abroad who care about and support the development of Qingdao.

Looking back at work of year 2003, we are also aware that we still face many pressing problems along the path of our advance. They are, in the main, as follows: 1) Structural contradictions of economic development became evident. Industrial consolidation and the service industry is developing slowly; 2) Utilization of land resources is not efficient enough. City planning, construction and administration does not meet the demands of development; 3) Lack of talents number and an unreasonable talent structure resulted in weak innovation competency of the city; 4) Pressure on social security and employment is heavy. Mechanism to solve social contradictions brought due to the expropriation of farmers’ land, relocation of urban residents, and ownership conversion of bankrupt enterprises, needs to be further constructed; 5) The task to solve problems concerning “agriculture, rural areas, and farmers” is still tough. Part of people live with difficulties; 6) Residential conditions of urban families with low and medium incomes need to be improved. Public service facilities are still weak points; 7) Some working in the government are short of legal knowledge, lacking a whole-picture view in mind, and sense of service. Formalism, bureaucracy, injustice and dishonesty still exist, and some of them even got into corruption. All these problems must receive full attention and must be solved in an earnest manner in our future work. Particularly, those problems concerning the vital interests of the people must be seriously solved with concentrated efforts.

The overall requirements for our work in 2004 are as follows: Under the guidance of Deng Xiaoping Theory and the important thought of “Three Represents”, we will comprehensively implement the spirit of the 16th CPC Congress and the 3rd Plenary Session of the 16th CPC Central Committee, implement each strategic plan made by Shandong Provincial Government and targets aimed by the 9th Qingdao municipal CPC Congress. By sticking to a scientific view of development and a correct view of political achievement, by insisting on a real and practical style, we will push forward the “three big projects”, emphasizing three key points of “restructuring, reforming and opening, and technology innovating”, pay high attention to solving problems concerning “agriculture, rural areas, and farmers” and other problems related to the vital interests of the people, highly strengthen the construction of the political and spiritual culture, deepen administration according to the rule of law and innovation of government undertakings, and with best efforts, realize all-around, coordinated, and sustainable development of the economy and of the society.

Planning and usage of lands along the line will be strictly controlled. The north section of the Binhai Highway will be started for construction. Covering rates of detailed planning for the five satellite cities and key towns are expected to reach over 90% and 70% respectively. High concern will be laid to the coordinated development of the rural economy and society. Present rural support investments will be combined; the utilization rate of funds will be increased; input on infrastructures of water conservancy, roads, and ecology will be raised. The central water supply project for Five Towns and Two Islands will be carried out. To promote the radial driving momentum of large industries, planning of industrial bases and industry consolidation should totally consider the five satellite cities. Measures such as regional division of labor, interactive development, contrasting industry chains etc. will be taken. Supplementary capability for processing and manufacturing industry will be improved. We will promote coordinated development of urban and rural service industry, and optimize layout of service industry in cities, key towns, and small coastal towns.

Continuing the pushing forward processes of agricultural restructuring and industrialization. Layout and planning of zones of preponderant agricultural products will be made and carried out. Production of special and high quality crops will be enlarged. A batch of demonstrative zones of foreign exchange generating agriculture, urban agriculture, sightseeing agriculture, and featured agriculture will be cultivated. We will keep suitable comprehensive capability of the grain production, and strengthen six sectors including aquatic products, animal husbandry, vegetables, flowers, forested fruits, and cereal oil. We will improve business management level for agricultural industry by pulling with export-oriented agriculture, letting large urban industry participate, promoting nine-unification pattern, and other measures. Financial institutions of each administration will arrange special funds to support the development of agricultural industrialization, and, by means of offering premium loans, and replacing subsidies with bonuses, support leading enterprises of agricultural products processing to develop both in size and strength.

Highlighting merchant, investment introducing, and foreign trade

We will positively expand the scale of using foreign investments, and continuously improve the quality and level of investment introduction. Investment mechanism should be better built, with new ways to be created and order being regulated, to ensure accomplishment of the 2004 target. Taking advantage of preponderant industries, large enterprises, and industrial parks or zones of state or provincial levels, we will obtain new breakthroughs in investment with industry consolidation. With focus being on investment from Korea, Japan, Germany, and Taiwan, we can expect a large growth. Forces introducing investments from world’s top 500 enterprises should be emphasized. Current ventures with foreign investment are invigorated to invest more. Projects under discussion and contract negotiation should be identified and encouraged to enhance the practical usage of fund and actual operation of projects. By means of acquisition, merger, stock jointing, and share holding etc., foreign investments are encouraged to participate in the reform and conversion of state-owned and collective-owned enterprises. We will also actively solicit projects in the service industry field including logistics, finance, insurance, commerce, trade, tourism, brokerage, and consultations. Business and investment introduction from other parts of the country should be increased, and various incentive measures should be taken to attract more large state-owned and private enterprises to Qingdao.

Vigorous efforts will be made to rectify the structure of export commodities, and to develop the international market. Scale of processing trade will be expanded to lead to conversion or upgrading. By well and efficiently utilizing policy of export processing zones, we will fetch more processing enterprises to invest to and develop in related parks and zones.
