Ha ha! All the resolutions you made last year came to nothing! Let's take a look at Jiancheng's New Year's resolutions. He wrote "This year I want to build my body and eat better and to continue to be a warm-hearted person".

According to convention, every year at our gatherings we have to give blessings. Jiancheng, let's start with you.

China plans to build a modern meteorological service system in 2022, which will provide early warning information to more than 95% of the public. In 2018, rural users' satisfaction with meteorological services reached 91.4 points.

China will build 800 million acres of high-standard farmland in 2020, which will be more productive and reduce water, fertilizer and pesticides.

Nuclear power has its advantages. Traditional resources are in short supply and they create serious environmental pollution. Nuclear power, on the other hand, is a clean source of energy. Actually, nuclear power plants are very safe. The Fukushima No. 1 Nuclear Power Plant was built in 1971. When it was originally designed, I imagine they had no idea there would be a level 9 earthquake that would lead to a tsunami.

Of course! They're still building the Olympic Village. Fourteen pavilions are already underway. Related buildings like the National Convention Center, the Media Village and the Olympic Forest Park are all under construction. To make it easier for everyone to get to the Olympic venues, Beijing's newly added metro lines, feeder lines, and the airport light rail will all be completely ready for operation before 2008. They'll be a multipurpose, safe and convenient transportation system. I'm sure that by 2008, we'll be able to see a new Beijing.

Yes. Compared with Western countries, China's logistical infrastructure is pretty fragile. We only have one third as many highways as America. The quality of the highways in some areas is really good, but in some areas it's substandard. Trains carry mostly people, not goods. Harbors are the same way. The large number of boats coming and going often leads to congestion. The good news is, the government is taking the construction of transport infrastructure more and more seriously, and they've invested a lot of human, material, and financial resources. The Yangshan Deep-Water harbor currently in construction is being built to optimize the logistical infrastructure. I'm confident that once this shipping center is built, Chinese logistics will be able to go to the next level.

That's absolutely right. Of course, the first national free-trade harbor zone is getting even more attention: the construction and operation of the Yangshan free-trade zone. This free-trade harbor zone comprises the Xiaoyangshan Harbor Zone, the Donghai Bridge and the auxiliary areas on the mainland. After the construction of the free-trade harbor zone, the harbor zone, tariff zone, and export processing areas will be combined, and will enjoy preferential policies in tax revenue and foreign exchange in the tariff zone, export zone and export processing zone. Goods from other regions will have tariffs in the harbor zone. Goods from the zone entering the harbor will be treated as exports and will get tax rebates. I'm sure this is great news for lots of domestic and foreign investors.

Sure. As far as I know, for Shanghai to be a world-class metropolis, the construction goal of the city is to become an international economic, financial, trade and shipping center. The Yangshan Deep Water Harbor is a key element in creating a shipping center. Its construction will help stimulate the development of our entire city. It will help advance all aspects of society. Of course, this includes ordinary people's daily lives.
