Pollution has a negative effect on innovation in China. Some of the country's most brilliant talent wants to work in the United States to escape from smog, and it is increasingly difficult to hire top-notch talent from the US. It is concern about the environment rather than pay that affects their decisions. 

“环境污染和雾霾天气不利于中国吸引和留住创新人才。环境污染的加剧，雾霾时间的增多，使得很多国内优秀的人才想去美国发展，从美国吸引人才回来的难度也在加大。工资待遇现在已经不是影响人才决定去留的主要原因，而对环境污染的担心才是。”

We should greatly encourage production of high-quality films and television series on anti-corruption. Some "tigers" (senior officials charged with corruption) have been convicted. This is the truth and part of history, which should be brought to the screen. 

我们应该依法大力提倡反腐败题材的影视作品创作，影视才能出好的作品。现在落马的一些“大老虎”，已经定案的，这些都是事实，是历史，将来都应该有人来写。

Ningxia should further reform its tourism industry and improve restrooms at tourist sites. I have five requirements for qualified³ restrooms in tourist sites, namely lighting⁴, water, toilet paper, soap and a clean smell. 

宁夏应该进一步改革旅游业，加强旅游公厕建设。我对合格的旅游公厕提出了五点要求：照明、用水、厕纸、洗手液、和气味都要达标。

Zhou Yongkang had heavy-handedly controlled affairs in Sichuan for a long time and brought a very bad influence to the political circle. At that time, many officials in Sichuan were anxious social climbers and eager to make connections with higher-ranked officials. They traded their power for money or used their positions to benefit others. 

周永康长期插手四川事务，对四川政治生态造成恶劣影响。十八大前的一段时间，四川一大批干部热衷于“抱大树”、“攀高枝”，跑官要官。

It took me about six months to have one of my products approved by authorities. And I had to find connections to get this done. The examination and approval system is not good for company innovation. 

今年我深圳一家公司审批一个饮料包装水，审批了半年，后来找关系才把它批下来，这个审批制度影响了企业创新。

People shouldn't make a fuss about the problems involving tourists from the Chinese mainland who have helped to boost Hong Kong's economy and directly or indirectly⁷ created 800,000 jobs. We need to actively⁸ and steadily⁹ solve such problems by taking both short-term and long-term influence into consideration. 

对于目前“个人游”项目运行中出现的一些问题无需大惊小怪，“个人游”促进了香港经济发展，香港直接或间接解决就业人数达80万人。要积极稳妥地处理好相关问题，但在具体处理过程中，不能只考虑近期的问题，也要考虑中长期的发展。
