Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao reiterated in Beijing Saturday the
government's determination to advance reform and opening up on the
eve the People's Republic of China's 57th anniversary on October

At a reception in the Great Hall of the People in Beijing
marking the founding anniversary of the PRC, Wen said China has
created a historic miracle by achieving nearly three decades of
rapid and sustainable economic growth and all-round social
development.
More than 1,500 Chinese and foreign personages and senior
officials attended the reception, including Hu Jintao, Chinese president and general
secretary of the CPC Central Committee, Wu Bangguo, Chairman of the NPC Standing
Committee, Jia Qinglin, chairman of the CPPCC National

Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, Zeng Qinghong, Huang Ju, Wu Guanzheng, Li Changchun and Luo Gan.
The premier pointed out that China will become a prosperous,
democratic, culturally advanced and harmonious modern socialist
country if it adheres to the path of scientific development.
"We'll unswervingly push reform and opening up," he said. "This
trend is irreversible," he noted.
He highlighted continuing efforts to reform economic, political,
cultural and social management systems and the need to encourage a
hard-working spirit to create a better future.
He also stressed the government's resolve to fight against
corruption.
The central government would continue to work with Hong Kong and
Macao people to ensure their prosperity and stability, to make
efforts with Taiwan compatriots to achieve national reunification
and work with the international community for a peaceful,
prosperous and harmonious world, he said.
