(NDRC.gov.cn )
Updated: 2006-03-13 09:04 Fifth, we will promote development by relying on deepening reform, take
reform and opening up as an impetus of growth, and shift economic growth from
relying on administrative intervention largely in some areas to giving more play
to the fundamental role of the market in allocating resources under guidance of
macro regulation and control. This shift is targeted at addressing the existing
systematic bottlenecks. The socialist market economy system has been put in
place by and large, but systematic and institutional obstacles are still
restricting development to various degrees, which is the deep-rooted reason for
the repeated occurrence of unhealthy and unstable factors in economic
development, lagging transformation of the economic growth mode, and irrational
economic structure. During the 11th Five-Year Plan period, priority will be
given to the transformation of government functions and deepening reforms of
enterprises, fiscal and tax system as well as the financial sector. We will
speed up the improvement of the socialist market economic system in order to
establish a mechanism that can facilitate implementing the Scientific Concept of
Development, transforming economic growth mode and promoting all-round, balanced
and sustainable development. The progress of reform should be regarded as a top
priority of the government's agenda, and we will strengthen the general guidance
and coordination of reform, and institutionalize effective reform measures
timely in the form of laws, regulations and systems. Meanwhile, in view of the
new situation of opening up in a new era, we will stick to the national policy
of opening up, implement an opening up strategy of mutually benefits and
win-win, and participate in international economic and technological cooperation
and competition with a broader scope, in a wider range and at a higher level, so
as to better promote domestic development and reform, and safeguard the national
economy.
Sixth, we will promote development by relying on the people-centered
approach, take the improvement of the living standard as the starting point as
well as the ultimate goal of our work, and transform the development pattern
from excessively emphasizing the accumulation of material wealth to focusing
more on the overall development of the people as well as the balanced economic
and social development. This solution is raised in view of past development that
gave excessive emphasis on the expansion of economic aggregates, and imbalanced
development among regions, between urban and rural areas, and between economic
and social dimensions. In the 11th Five-Year Plan period, we will promote
balanced development among regions on the basis of the bearing capacity of
resources and environment, development foundation and potential, and gradually
form a pattern of balanced regional development that features clear functional
positioning of each region, sound interaction among the Eastern, Central and
Western Regions, and shrinking regional gaps of public services and the living
standard. We will promote urbanization actively and soundly, change the
urban-rural dual structure gradually, and endeavor to reduce the gaps of public
services and the living standard between urban and rural areas. We will build a
socialist harmonious society by bearing the overall development concept that
combines economic, political, cultural and social construction, and starting
from solving the most concerned, most direct and most practical issues to the
interest of the people. We will take every possible measure to increase
employment, enhance income distribution and reallocation, improve the social
security system, reinforce poverty reduction, resolve the issue of limited
healthcare resources and expensive medical care, strengthen capacity building
related to public security. We will stick to the overall development of
political, material, cultural and ethical progress, promote democracy, improve
the legal system, enrich cultural life, so as to provide political guarantee and
spiritual drives to the modernization progress.
Ladies and Gentlemen, the prospect of China's economic and social development
is promising, while the obstacles, problems and conflicts on our way forward
remain abundant. However, as what has been pointed out by Premier Wen Jiabao in
the closing remark of his government report to the National People's Congress
just closed, any difficulties and obstacles cannot prevent us from progressing.
Our goals must be achieved, and would be achieved without any
doubt!
