Over the past 30 years since reform and opening-up, China’s economy has enjoyed continuous growth and its GDP has risen to a much higher level. China, a country with a big population and weak economic foundation, is confronted with some challenges, including development disparities between the urban and rural areas and among different regions, inadequate innovation capabilities and so on. To achieve modernization, we must make persistent and strenuous effort. And we can only overcome our difficulties through development. We will continue to take development as our top priority and make every effort to achieve sound and rapid economic and social development.
