CONTINUE TO REFORM
Hu said China will continue to carry out reform and opening up in the future, as it was thanks to reform and opening up that China has developed rapidly over the past 30 plus years.
China suffers from a serious lack of balance, coordination, and sustainability in its development, and there are institutional obstacles to scientific development. "In no way can we get around these problems, which must be resolved in the course of deepening reform," Hu said.
Hu vowed to continue to reform the economic, political, cultural and social systems.
Meanwhile, the country must firmly carry out the central task of economic development and stay committed to pursuing scientific development.
China remains the largest developing country in the world and despite all the achievements, development is still key to solving the country's problems, Hu said.
China will continue to promote socialist democracy and enhance the socialist political system with Chinese characteristics in the future.
Hu said the Party and country will improve institutions, standards, and procedures for exercising socialist democracy.
China will also promote socialist culture and improve the people's well-being in the future, Hu said. He called for efforts to ensure that social development advances in step with economic, political, and cultural development.
