Last year, China announced a plan to establish the Xiongan New Area in Hebei Province. The small region was suddenly thrust into the limelight – just as Shenzhen was when China decided to build its first ever Special Economic Zone there in 1980. The blueprint for the Xiongan New Area is a Chinese model for world-class urban development.

2017年,，以習(xí)近平同志為核心的黨中央決定，在河北適合地段規(guī)劃建設(shè)一個(gè)以新發(fā)展理念引領(lǐng)的現(xiàn)代新型城區(qū),。從深圳到雄安,，一場(chǎng)開(kāi)拓進(jìn)取的馬拉松仍在繼續(xù),。

In Xi’s own words

“小平同志1984年、1992年兩次視察南方,，視察廣東,、視察深圳。當(dāng)時(shí)他就是說(shuō),，要解放思想，敢于闖,、敢于試,。”

Deng Xiaoping inspected Guangdong and Shenzhen twice, in 1984 and 1992. He said we must emancipate our minds and dare to break through and dare to try.

“我們今后仍然要走這條正確的道路，要堅(jiān)定不移地走下去,，而且要有新開(kāi)拓,，上新水平?！?/p>

We must choose the right path and continue along it unswervingly. We must explore new developments and attain higher standards. 

“雄安新區(qū)現(xiàn)在還是一張白紙,，受到各方面利益牽絆比較少，要發(fā)揚(yáng)改革創(chuàng)新精神,，建立體制機(jī)制新高地,。”

The Xiongan New Area is now a blank sheet of paper, free from the interests of the various parties involved. We must carry forward the spirit of reform and innovation and establish a new high-level institutional mechanism.

“建設(shè)雄安新區(qū)是一項(xiàng)歷史性工程,，一定要保持歷史耐心,，有‘功成不必在我’的精神境界?！?/p>

It is a historic project to build the Xiongan New Area. We must remain patient, remembering that to achieve real success we must have an eye to the long-term future.

“穩(wěn)扎穩(wěn)打,，一茬兒接著一茬兒干?！?/p>

We must make steady progress, one achievement at a time, and keep the cause going.
