Chinese Premier Li
Keqiang and other leaders on Wednesday vowed to fully implement the "Four
Comprehensives" strategic layout in order to realise economic and social
development targets.
The "Four Comprehensives" refers to a political concept initiated by
Chinese President Xi Jinping, which comprises "comprehensively building a
moderately prosperous society, comprehensively deepening reform,
comprehensively advancing the rule of law, and comprehensively strictly
governing the Communist Party of China".
They made the remarks while joining panel discussions with members of the
National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference
(CPPCC), the country's top political advisory body, state-run Xinhua news
agency reported.
In accordance with the "Four Comprehensives", China should make
greater effort to stabilise growth, expand effective demand and withstand
downward pressure, in an effort to keep economic operation within a proper
range, Premier Li told CPPCC members from the economic and agricultural
circles.
Reform shall be pushed forward, with a focus on cutting government red tape,
reforming the tax and financial sector, as well as reforming state-owned
enterprises and assets, Li said.
Li promised to inject vigour into the market by promoting mass entrepreneurship
and innovation. He also stressed economic restructuring by offering more public
goods and services to the people and boosting consumption relating to
information and tourism.
The premier also emphasised green, safe, and efficient development of the
agricultural sector.
Zhang Dejiang, chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's
Congress, joined discussion with political advisors from Hong Kong and Macao
special administrative regions (SARs).
Zhang called for a full and accurate understanding of the principle of
"one country, two systems" and the safeguarding of the authority of
the Constitution and the Basic Law.
Zhang said the central government would fully support the law-based governance
of Hong Kong and Macao SAR chief executives and the SAR governments.
