3) Fully implementing the strategy of innovation-driven development. We project R&D spending to account for 2.17% of GDP in 2014. We will accelerate reform of the science and technology management system. We will increase government spending on basic research and research on cutting-edge technologies, technologies for the public good and key standard technologies. We will move faster to carry out major national scientific and technological projects and apply their advances to production. We will improve the policy that encourages national innovation demonstration zones to play their path-finding role. We will apply wide-reaching policies to encourage business innovation and start to create 100 innovative businesses. We will build up key scientific and technological infrastructure and advance knowledge innovation projects, and build a number of national engineering centers and laboratories for next-generation information technology, environmental protection and other key industries. We will vigorously develop strategic emerging industries. We will set forth policies and plans supporting development of cloud computing and civil space infrastructure, organize the implementation of innovation development and application demonstration projects in key industries, and promote industrial application of the Beidou Navigation Satellite System and other technologies developed by China. We will fully implement the venture capital plan for emerging industries, and integrate resources to set up pilot funds for investment in emerging industries in China. We will accelerate the growth of integrated circuits, the next-generation Internet, the mobile Internet, and the Internet of Things; strengthen the country's infrastructure for broadband and Internet security; build smart cities; and fully implement information technology projects beneficial to the people.

4) Strengthening basic industries. We will build railways, especially in the central and western regions, and guide urban rail transport to develop in an orderly way. We will move faster to extend incomplete national expressways, complete bottleneck sections of national highways, and build rural roads in contiguous areas with acute difficulties. We will speed up the building of high-grade waterways along the Yangtze and other rivers, upgrade the distribution of coastal ports, and promote the orderly development of civil aviation infrastructure. We will reasonably control total energy consumption, improve the energy mix, and encourage the development of wind and solar power, and start construction of a number of hydropower and nuclear power projects. We will strengthen exploration, exploitation and utilization of natural gas, coal seam gas and shale gas.

5) Accelerating the growth of the service industry. We will issue guidelines on speeding up the development of producer services to promote the adjustment and upgrading of the industrial structure. We will continue to carry out national trials for comprehensively reforming the service trade and establish demonstration zones for developing service businesses. We will vigorously develop key industries such as R&D, modern logistics, financial leasing, energy conservation and environmental protection services, and inspection and testing services. We will put forward a mid-to-long-term development plan for the logistics industry, and build demonstration logistics parks. The value-added of the service sector is expected to grow by 8.3% in 2014.

7. Ensure the development of each region has its own features and coordinates with the development of others

1) Continuing to fully implement the overall strategy for developing different regions. We will step up the formulation of a policy document that prioritizes the large-scale development of the western region, further strengthen infrastructure development, vigorously develop industries that can take advantage of local strengths, and launch a new round of efforts aimed at returning even more marginal farmland to forests and grazing land to grassland. We will issue guidelines on fully revitalizing the Northeast and other old industrial bases. We will holistically upgrade and renovate old industrial bases across the country and old industrial districts in cities, and transform and develop resource-dependent cities and independent industrial and mining areas. We will fully carry out the strategy to promote the rise of the central region; make the region an integrated transport hub and a center for producing grain, energy and raw materials and developing modern equipment manufacturing and new- and high-technology industries; and accelerate development of demonstration zones for industries relocated from the eastern region and industrial parks in the central and western regions. We will encourage the eastern region to develop first; support the building of major platforms such as Qianhai, Nansha, Hengqin and Pingtan; and continue with pilot programs to develop the marine economy.

2) Developing new economic support zones at a faster pace. We will build new economic support zones along the Yangtze River, promote economic integration in the Yangtze River Delta, deepen cooperation in the pan-Pearl River Delta, and support the integrated development of city clusters along the middle reaches of the Yangtze. We will promote faster growth of the Central Plains Economic Zone, and deepen cooperation between Liaoning, Jilin and Heilongjiang provinces and Inner Mongolia. We will coordinate development in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, and speed up the transformation and upgrading of the Bohai Sea region. We will encourage Yunnan and Guangxi to open to South Asia and Southeast Asia, and support northwestern China in westward opening up.
