German media: A milestone congress

(China Daily) Updated: 2012-11-08 09:48

German newspaper Neues Deutschland has published an article, "A long journey to a well-off China". Excerpts:

The core topics for the 18th National Congress of the CPC are whether the country can carry on its economic reform, how it will push the political reform ahead and how it will resolve the social conflicts and tackle the serious environmental pollution.

The congress concerns not only the interests of all Chinese people, but also China's future foreign policies. So it has drawn worldwide attention.

China has walked well on its track of reform over the past three decades. The nationwide high-speed rail network, and the national coverage of the Internet and mobile phone signals testify the CPC's success as the ruling party of the country.

Yet Beijing knows where the problem lies. The slowing down of the country's economic growth is a reminder to the CPC of the daunting task ahead.
