National revenue reached RMB 513 trillion, increasing of 171 times. Foreign exchange reserves exceeded USD 152 trillion. The countrys grain output increased for four consecutive years, reaching 5015 million tons in 2007. As the agricultural tax was abolished, farmers no longer need pay taxes on their farmland. All agricultural taxes, livestock taxes, and taxes on special products were abolished, reducing the burden on farmers by RMB 1335 billion each year. Agricultural subsidy system was established, providing farmers with direct subsidies for grain production, subsidies for superior seed varieties, subsidies for the purchase of agricultural machinery and tools, and general subsidies for agricultural means of production, and offering incentives and subsidies to major grainproducing counties and townships with financial difficulties. Central government spending on agriculture, rural areas and farmers totaled RMB 16 trillion over the past five years, of which nearly RMB 300 billion was spent on rural infrastructure. Major progress was made in reforming stateowned enterprises, the financial system, fiscal and taxation systems, the foreign trade and economic cooperation system, and the administrative system. The open economy entered a new stage. In 2007, Chinas total import and export volume reached USD 217 trillion, rising from the sixth to the third place in the world.

The framework of a social security barrier system had taken shape, and the number of people living in poverty had been decreasing year by year.  


22Remarkable achievements were made in developing democracy and the legal system  


In the past five years, the State Council submitted 39 bills to the Standing Committee of the NPC, and formulated or revised 137 administrative regulations. Ways were explored to establish mechanisms and systems for orderly public participation in government legislation. 15 draft laws and administrative regulations were released to solicit public opinion and the existing administrative regulations and rules were comprehensively reviewed. Administrative work according to law had made solid progress. Within one year (2005) of the implementation of the Administrative Licensing Law of the Peoples Republic of China, under the unified deployment of the State Council, departments and local governments at all levels carried out a comprehensive review of the projects and implementation subjects of administrative licensing. A total of 25,797 projects were cleared, among which 8,666 were canceled and 1,841 were adjusted. 25,554 administrative licenses were reviewed, among which 3,981 were abolished, and 2,493 were revised.

Achievements was made in building democracy at the community level. By 2007, 620,000 villagers committees had been set up in rural China, and the average voter participation rate in village committee elections was over 90% nationwide.

In order to ensure that the election of villagers committees was conducted strictly in accordance with law, 27 provinciallevel governments formulated special methods for the election of villagers committees. By the end of 2007, 96% of rural areas in China had established the system of villagers meeting or villagers representative meeting to implement democratic decisionmaking. More than 80% of the villages formulated rules and regulations for villagers selfgovernment or village regulations and treaties. 91% of rural areas established systems for democratic financial management, financial auditing, and village affairs management.

A system of public cultural services at the county and township levels had taken shape in the early stages, with libraries and cultural centers basically now available in every county. Major progress was made in the reform of the cultural management system. The scale of the cultural industry was expanding. In 2006, the added value of Chinas cultural industry reached RMB 5123 billion, accounting for 245% of the countrys GDP. The influence of Chinese culture in the world had been further enhanced. By 2007, China had established 140 Confucius Institutes in 52 countries and regions.

The cultural industry would account for a much larger share of the national economy and become more competitive internationally. A greater variety of cultural products would be available to meet the needs of the people. A social security system covering both urban and rural residents would be basically in place, and everyone would enjoy basic living allowances.
