中国政府在人大召开之际承诺改进大纲

China's Government Promises Improvements As Congress Opens **

China's government promised to fight corruption, improve the environment and grow the economy as its annual parliamentary session got underway Tuesday.

Thousands of delegates from across the country have gathered amid heavy security in Beijing for the 13-day session of the National People's Congress that will complete China's once-a-decade leadership change.

Outgoing Premier Wen Jiabao delivered his last government work report at the opening session. He said China faces a difficult task in correcting China's unbalanced economic growth and income disparity.

Mr. Wen said the economic growth target for China this year is 7.5 percent, similar to last year, and that the government will fight to curb inflation. Defense spending will increase by almost 11 percent.

During the meeting of the largely ceremonial congress, Chinese Communist Party chief Xi Jinping will formally take over the presidency from Hu Jintao. Li Keqiang will succeed Mr. Wen as prime minister.在中国全国人大会议星期二召开之际，中国政府承诺打击腐败现象、改善环境以及发展经济。

来自中国各地的数千名代表聚集在北京，参加为期13天的全国人大会议，其间将完成十年一度的领导层更替以及确立新政策。

在开幕式上，即将离任的温家宝总理做了最后一次政府工作报告。他说，中国面临着解决经济发展不平衡以及收入水平悬殊等问题的艰巨任务。

温家宝说，中国今年的经济增长目标是7.5%，与去年大致相同，政府将努力遏制通货膨胀。中国的国防开支将增加将近11%。

在基本属于礼仪性质的人大会议期间，习近平将正式接替胡锦涛，担任中国国家主席。李克强将接替温家宝，担任中国总理。
