National People's Congress in Beijing, capital of China, March 7,
2007.
Chinese Vice Premier Huang Ju attended a panel discussion with
legislators from Shanghai Wednesday morning.
Huang, also a member of the Standing Committee of the Political
Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, and the
Shanghai deputies to the National People's Congress (NPC),
discussed the government work report delivered by Premier Wen
Jiabao on Monday.
Describing Wen's report as practical and realistic, Huang said
the report has made an objective analysis of the conflicts and
problems that China is currently facing, and laid out the key tasks
in 2007 with strong and active measures.
Talking about Shanghai's development, Huang said the
municipality is staying at a critical stage of deepening reform and
accelerating development.
Shanghai must follow the guidance of the Deng Xiaoping Theory
and the important thought of Three Represents, fully implement the
scientific concept of development, speed up the building of
harmonious socialist society, and achieve the sound and rapid
economic and social growth with reform and opening-up, Huang
said.
Shanghai must serve the overall situation, serve national
strategy of development, and ensure that the lines and policies of
the central authorities are earnestly implemented in Shanghai, he
said.
He also said that Shanghai must follow the principle of putting
people first and exercising governance power for the people, and
pay more attention to social development and address the issues
concerning people's livelihood.
Shanghai's economic and social development depends on the
capability and working style of its leading officials, the vice
premier said. The city must strictly implement the policies and
requests of the central authorities, improve governing mechanism,
block system loopholes, and strictly enforce disciplines.
He also said that Shanghai must firmly practice the principle of
democratic centralism, make key decisions by means of collective
leadership, improve supervision over leading officials, and root
out collusion between officials and business people.
He expressed his hope that officials of Shanghai will continue
to work hard to make new contributions to the country's economic
development.
