China's economic growth has been fast and steady for decades. To maintain that growth, the National Development and Reform Commission says China's economic development will take a more scientific approach that gives more attention to social welfare.

Zhu Zhixin says the Scientific Outlook on Development has been the guideline for the country's economic development since the 16th Party Congress five years ago. Such development is more comprehensive, harmonious and sustainable.

Building a harmonious society has been set as an urgent strategic goal for the country. The government has put more attention to the issues concerning people's livelihood, such as employment, social security and increase of salaries. But, problems are inevitable.

Zhu emphasized that the government will make economic policies in accordance with the scientific outlook to maintain the stability of the market and the whole society, including narrowing the gap between rich and poor.

Few doubt China's economy will continue to grow at a rapid pace. But the Communist Party insists the Scientific Outlook On Development policy must be implemented so economic growth will be sustainable, and more ordinary Chinese will benefit from the development.
