China Should Focus on Social Development, Education, Rule of Law and Sustainability  
  • After paying attention to economic development, China should also push forward social reforms
  • Education reform is critical if China’s schools are to produce creative people with high moral standards
Dalian, People‘s Republic of China, 15 September 2011 – China should focus not just on developing its economy but also on social, legal and political reforms, senior Chinese business, government and civil society leaders said in a panel discussion on China’s 12th Five-Year Plan at the World Economic Forum’s Annual Meeting of the New Champions 2011. “In the past, we paid a lot of attention to economic development,” Zhang Xiaoqiang, Vice-Chairman of the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) of the People’s Republic of China, noted. “But we have to keep up with the times. China’s development should be people-centred and sustainable. Our social development has lagged behind. We need to satisfy people’s demands – not just economic, but also in education, health, security and other areas.”
