3. We further deepened reform and opening up and ensured smooth flows in the national economy.
We took solid steps to implement the reform plans adopted at the third plenary session of the 20th CPC Central Committee. We implemented the guidelines on developing a unified national market, issued an updated negative list for market access, and systematically addressed prominent problems in the areas of public bidding and investment attraction. We pushed ahead with production capacity regulation in key industries and achieved notable progress in addressing rat race competition through holistic measures. Comprehensive reform trials were carried out to promote market-based allocation of production factors. Initiatives to deepen and upgrade the reform of state-owned enterprises (SOEs) yielded positive results, and we rolled out measures to further boost private investment. We worked faster and redoubled efforts to see that overdue payments owed to enterprises were settled.
We took the initiative to open China wider andadvanced unilateral opening up in a well-ordered way, steadily expanding both unilateral visa-free entry policies and comprehensive mutual visa exemptions.
Greater efforts were made to maintain stable performance of foreign trade, ensuring both stable volume and higher quality. Exports for the year grew by 6.1 percent. Thanks to a new initiative launched to keep foreign investment stable, we saw a 19.1-percent increase in the number of newly-established foreign-funded enterprises. The strategy to upgrade pilot free trade zones was implemented, and island-wide special customs operations were launched in the Hainan Free Trade Port. Solid steps were taken to advance high-quality Belt and Road cooperation, further boosting practical cooperation invarious fields.

4. We moved forward with both new urbanization and all-around rural revitalization and promoted coordinated development between urban and rural areas and between different regions.
In implementing the plans set out at last year’s Central Urban Work Conference, we fostered modern metropolitan areas, bolstered urban planning, development, and governance, steadily advanced urban renewal, adopted policies on granting permanent urban residency to people moving to cities from rural areas, and piloted initiatives on new urbanization. As a result, the share of permanent urban residents in the total population rose to 67.9 percent.
Efforts to keep total grain acreage stable, boost per-unit crop yields, and protect against disasters helped secure yet another bumper harvest. We took concrete steps to ensure that efforts to consolidate and expand poverty alleviation gains were well aligned with those to boost rural revitalization. The number of employed people among those lifted out of poverty remained at over 30 million. We intensified implementation of regional strategies and enhanced interconnected development among different regions.
