A senior official of the Communist Party of China (CPC)
has informed leaders of non-communist parties and the All-China
Federation of Industry and Commerce (ACFIC) of the just concluded
2007 Central Economic Work Conference.?
Du Qinglin, head of the United Front Department of the CPC
Central Committee, called the conference an important one for
achieving new victories in building a moderately prosperous society
in all respects, when he briefed the non-communist party leaders on
Thursday.
Du called for seriously studying the plans and requirements of
the economic conference and more contributions to the country's
economic and social development.
China has eight democratic parties or non-communist parties,
namely the Revolutionary Committee of the Chinese Kuomintang, the
Chinese Democratic League, the China National Democratic
Construction Association, the China Association for the Promoting
Democracy, the Chinese Peasants and Workers Democratic Party, the
China Zhi Gong Party, the Jiu San Society, and the Taiwan
Democratic Self-Government League.
These non-communist parties have helped the CPC topple the old
regime and establish the People's Republic of China in 1949, and
since then, they have been working together with the CPC under the
framework of the United Front and the Multiparty Cooperation
System.
China concluded its three-day 2007 Central Economic Work
Conference on Wednesday with a pledge to shift its monetary policy
from "prudent", an approach it has followed for the last ten years,
to "tight."
