Top Chinese leaders attended panel discussions of lawmakers
Monday and congratulated female deputies to the national
legislature and women all over the country on the occasion of the
International Women's Day, which falls on March 8.
President Hu Jintao joined legislators from the northeastern
province of Liaoning in their panel discussion and urged
introduction of a scientific approach to invigoration of the rust
belt province, the country's industrial base where a big number of
workers are laid off from state-owned enterprises.
To carry out the policy of putting people first, Hu said,
leading cadres of the province should work hard to resolve problems
the people concern most. "What is of particular importance at
present is to pay great attention to employment and reemployment,
accelerate the building of a social security system and improve the
urban basic living allowances system so that the people who can not
find a job at the moment or face difficulties in their livelihood
can keep a basic living standard."
Premier Wen Jiabao, joining lawmakers from Shaanxi Province in
their panel discussion, called for greater endeavor to transform
government functions for balanced economic and social development,
saying that governments at various levels should manage their
business well and leave what they should not be involved in.
Wu Guanzheng, head of the Communist Party of China (CPC)'s
Central Discipline Inspection Commission, participated in
discussion of deputies from Yunnan Province and focused his speech
on Party building and a clean government, urging efforts to resolve
problems concerning the people's immediate interests.
During discussion with legislators from Sichuan Province, Li
Changchun, a member of the Standing Committee of the Political
Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, concentrated on deepening
reforms in the cultural field and developing advanced socialist
culture.
Luo Gan, also a member of the Political Bureau Standing
Committee of the CPC Central Committee, called for efforts to
promote harmonized social and economic development when he
exchanged views with lawmakers from Hebei Province.
