BEIJING, Dec. 25 (Xinhua) -- Chinese Vice President Xi Jinping on Friday called for continued efforts to further study and practice the Scientific Outlook on Development. Xi made the remarks at a meeting on further studying and practicing the Scientific Outlook on Development, which emphasizes the well-being of people and comprehensive, coordinated and sustainable development. The CPC launched an 18-month campaign to study and implement the outlook in September last year. The campaign had so far yielded positive results, Xi said. The Vice President urged relevant authorities to focus on improving social harmony and stability as well as party building at grassroots levels. They should also focus on speeding up the transformation of the country's economic development mode, and should make meticulous plans for next year's work, in order to push forward reforms and development and maintain stability, he said.
BEIJING, Nov. 11 (Xinhua) -- In cold weather, 45 Japanese war orphans revisiting China to thank their Chinese foster families received a warm welcome in Beijing. Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao met them, mostly in their seventies, in the Zhongnanhai compound Wednesday. Premier Wen invited the orphans to Zhongnanhai for talks and also accompanied them on a visit to the former residence and office of the late Premier Zhou Enlai inside the compound, who were much concerned about the war orphanage issue. Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao (R) meets with the members of the Japanese war orphans' delegation, who revisit China to thank their Chinese foster families, in Beijing, capital of China, Nov. 11, 2009. The Japanese orphans were those who had been left behind by their parents after the eight-year Japanese Aggression War against China. More than 2,800 Japanese orphans were adopted by the Chinese people and most of them went back to Japan in the 1980s and 1990s after normalization of bilateral ties. Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao (R3, front) and members of the Japanese war orphans' delegation visit Xihuating, the former residence and office of the late Premier Zhou Enlai, in Beijing, capital of China, Nov. 11, 2009The thanksgiving gathering is organized to express the war orphans' gratitude to their foster families, but the visit is, to some extent, an emotional one as many of their foster parents have died. "We care about the living conditions of the orphans after they returned back to Japan, and I believe that everybody will live a happy and stable life though their own efforts and by support from the Japanese government and all walks of life," said Wen in talks with the delegation. Wen said that it was a handful of militarists who were responsible for that war of aggression, and the Japanese people were also victims of the war. Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao (R6, second row) poses with members of the Japanese war orphans' delegation in front of Xihuating, the former residence and office of the late Premier Zhou Enlai, in Beijing, capital of China, Nov. 11, 2009."The Chinese people, despite their own sufferings caused by the war, saved the lives of the orphans and brought them up instead of pouring their hatred on the Japanese people," said Wen. Wen said the war orphans will feel again the love given by their foster parents and the deep friendship between the Chinese and Japanese people during their visit in China. Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao (R3, front) and members of the Japanese war orphans' delegation visit Xihuating, the former residence and office of the late Premier Zhou Enlai, in Beijing, capital of China, Nov. 11, 2009The war orphans have been active in promoting Japan-China friendship since they returned back to Japan. They raised funds to build a primary school named China-Japan Friendship Hope School in the aftermath of the Sichuan earthquake last year, said Wen. CALL FOR FRIENDSHIP History tells us that "peace between China and Japan leads to mutual benefits, and rivalry is damaging to both", said Wen. China-Japan friendship confirms to the fundamental interests of the two peoples and to develop friendly cooperation is of great significance to Asia, the world as well as the two countries, Wen said. Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao (R) receives an autograph book from the Japanese war orphans' delegation, who revisit China to thank their Chinese foster families, in Beijing, capital of China, Nov. 11, 2009Wen said the two nations should take history as a mirror and look forward to the future in their relations. They should, in the spirit of the four political documents between China and Japan, coexist peacefully, engage in mutually beneficial cooperation, seek common development and lasting friendship, making due contributions to Asian and World peace, stability and prosperity. Members of the delegation said although they now live in Japan, they still miss their family members and hometowns in China. They are very excited about this trip and would like to continue to work for lasting friendship between the two peoples
SHANGHAI, Nov. 1 (Xinhua)-- HSBC has raised its forecast of China's GDP growth this year to 8.1 percent, said HSBC Group Chairman Stephen Green here Sunday. The bank's previous forecast was 7.8 percent. While attending the annual International Business Leaders' Advisory Council (IBLAC), Green said the world financial crisis has not derailed either of the two most noteworthy and transformative trends in global finance: "the rise of China and the shift from west to east." He also expected effects of China's stimulus packages would further lift the country's GDP growth and sustain the recovery momentum into 2010. Green said Shanghai, as China's largest city, had kept a relatively stable growth during the crisis, which suggested it had the potential to become one of the world's financial centers comparable to New York or London.
BEIJING, Dec. 6 (Xinhua) -- China will, without any doubt, be able to achieve the 8 percent growth in gross domestic product (GDP) this year, a senior Chinese economist said Sunday. Yao Jingyuan, chief economist with the National Bureau of Statistics, made the remarks at a fortune forum in Beijing. However he warned that the Chinese economy will still face two major problems next year: slumping overseas market demand and weak driving force on domestic market. Chinese economy rose 7.7 percent in the first three quarters, driven mainly by investment and consumption, but brought down by exports, Yao said. He stressed more efforts should be made on structural adjustment to shift dependence on the industrial growth to the comprehensive development of the agricultural, industrial and service sectors. Yao highlighted the importance to raise people's incomes, add investment on livelihood projects and give full play to the role of consumption to boost economy. Meanwhile, China should turn its economic growth dependence from resources-intensive consumption to technology renovation, Yao said.
