China boosting sustainable development
The president said that China will maintain a sustainable
development that is people-centered, balanced and all-dimensional.
China is currently drawing up the 2006-2010 Program for National Economic and
Social Development, Hu said.
"We will adhere to the policy of expanding domestic demand and blaze a new
trail to industrialization featuring high scientific and technological content,
good economic returns, low resources consumption, little environmental pollution
and a full display of advantages in human resources," said the president.
China will also accelerate economic restructuring and the transformation of
the mode of economic growth, enhance innovative ability, make further progress
in reform and openness, facilitate a balanced development between rural and
urban areas and among different regions, and concentrate more on building a
harmonious society, with the view to bringing china's economic and social
development to the track of sustainable development that is people-centered,
balanced and all-dimensional.
Since the reform and opening-up 27 years ago, Hu said, China has put in place
an initial system of socialist market economy and a basic structure of
all-dimensional openness.
"Nevertheless, we are also clearly aware that China remains the biggest
developing country in the world that features a huge population, weak economic
basis, uneven development and heavy environmental pressure, and that its
people's living standards are still not so high."
"Hence, modernization in China remains a long and uphill journey that will
entail many years of hard work," Hu said.
