On environmental protection

Li said we should not pursue economic growth at the expense of the environment. This government has made a greater resolve to provide people with clean air, safe drinking water and safe food.

Measures include creating a new model of development and pursuing scientific strategies, raising environmental thresholds and phasing out backward production tools.

Li urged a more transparent government and more public supervision to address the environmental issues, and the government should also help people take precautionary measures as well.
