On January 19, 2014, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council unveiled its first policy document for 2014. This document, referred to as the No.1 Document, traditionally has focused on advancing rural issues.
Major policy measures indicate China’s intent to improve the mechanisms for safeguarding food security, seek sustainable agricultural growth while balancing rural and urban development, deepen rural land reforms and promote financial support for rural areas.
This report provides an unofficial translation of the No.1 document.
