Parliament session begins amid global crisis

Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao Thursday called on the nation to strengthen conviction for victory while he envisaged "arduous and formidable" tasks in 2009 as the country tried to keep economic growth amid a global downturn.

Wen acknowledged that 2009 will "be the most difficult year for China's economic development" since the new millennium, but he said the growth rate was proposed based on China's needs and ability.

"In China, a developing country with a population of 1.3 billion, maintaining a certain growth rate for the economy is essential for expanding employment for both urban and rural residents, increasing people's incomes and ensuring social

stability," Wen told nearly 3,000 NPC deputies gathering at the Great Hall of the People in downtown Beijing.

"As long as we adopt the right policies and appropriate measures and implement them efficiently, we will be able to achieve this target," he said.

Other key economic and social targets included creating more than 9 million jobs in cities, keeping urban registered unemployment rate under 4.6 percent and keeping the rise of Consumer Price Index (CPI) at about 4 percent.

Global warming skepticism on rise in U.S.

DALLAS/KANSAS CITY (Reuters) - Sharon Byers is unconvinced that human activities such as the burning of coal and other fossil fuels are behind climate change.

"There have been times in the past when there was global warming in the absence of man. It is all part of a natural cycle. I think it is a little vain to think man could destroy this great planet," said Byers, a former nurse who lives in Lee's Summit, Missouri.

In the U.S. heartland, global warming talk is often seen as hot air and opinion polls show skepticism on the rise, fueling conservative opposition to a climate change bill

that is a priority for President Barack Obama and making some Democrats vulnerable in the November 2010 congressional elections.

America will pledge at U.N. climate talks in Copenhagen that begin next week to cut its greenhouse gas emissions, which most scientists say are the main agents of climate change, by 17 percent below 2005 levels by 2020.

In global scientific circles, that is seen as vital as America accounts for around a fifth of global emissions. But for some conservative U.S. activists it all seems sinister.

"We're not interested in one-world government, which seems to be the direction of this summit," said Dale Robertson, the founder of the Tea Party organization which has held rallies across the country to protest Obama's agenda.

A constant theme on conservative and Christian talk-radio stations, which reach tens of millions of Americans, is the notion that the global warming scare is a "hoax" aimed at crippling the U.S. economy and way of life.

This all strikes a chord in these tough economic times and opinion polls show Americans cooling to the issue.

A Washington Post-ABC News poll in November found that 72 percent of Americans surveyed believed global warming was happening, down from 80 percent last year.

But even among Americans who accept that temperatures are climbing there is reluctance to pin the blame on humans.

A Pew poll in October found 57 percent of Americans felt there was evidence that the earth was warming, down from 71 percent in April 2008. But only 36 percent attributed this to human activities, compared with 47 percent last year.

TOUGH SELL, ELECTORAL RISKS

This makes the task of selling legislation to the U.S. public to cap emissions more difficult.

Getting legislation to this effect next year in the U.S. Senate is high on Obama's agenda. The House of Representatives has narrowly passed its own version and

Republicans see opportunities here in next year's congressional contests when the Democrats will be fighting to maintain their majorities.

In the House of Representatives, Republican strategists have said that Harry Teague of New Mexico and Betsy Markey of Colorado are among the many Democrats seen vulnerable on this issue in 2010.

In the 100-seat Senate, some Democrats who are up for reelection next year will be in a bind on the issue, much as some are now with the healthcare debate.

"If the Senate does vote on climate change at some point next year, certainly Sens. Barbara Boxer (California), Michael Bennet in Colorado, Blanche Lincoln in Arkansas, Arlen Specter in Pennsylvania and Harry Reid in Nevada could all be vulnerable, depending, of course, on how they vote," said Jennifer Duffy of the nonpartisan Cook Political Report.

Senator Joseph Lieberman, an independent, said on Thursday negotiators in the Senate are nowhere close to writing details of a compromise climate change bill and that

at least two key Senate committees, Finance and Agriculture, have not yet worked on their portions of a bill.

Until then, a compromise bill will not be drafted, he said.

Analysts say growing public skepticism on the issue is explained in part by the recession and job losses.

"Up until a couple of years ago when people felt relatively wealthy and secure, they were willing to consider climate change as a problem we should address. But now that they feel more poor and vulnerable they are skeptical," said Cal Jillson, a professor at Southern Methodist University in Dallas.

There are other uniquely American cultural traits that drive views on the issue, such as an enduring love affair with big vehicles which has been dented though hardly crushed by last year's record-high gas prices.

One in four U.S. adults is also an evangelical Christian and, while secular Europeans may find this odd, many really do believe that biblical prophecy foretells the planet's end.

"If you are an evangelical Christian in the American vein then you believe it is our responsibility to look after the planet but it will be ultimately destroyed no matter what we do," said Bart Barber, a Southern Baptist Convention preacher in the small north Texas town of Farmersville.

全球变暖怀疑论在美国民间升温

路透达拉斯/堪萨斯12月4日电(记者Ed Stoddard/Carey Gillam)--曾担任护士工作的拜尔斯(Sharon Byers)不相信燃煤、化石燃料等人类活动就是气候变暖的元凶。

“过去即便没有人类存在，地球也会发生全球变暖，这完全属于自然周期的一部分。我觉得认为人类将毁灭地球的说法有一些空洞，”住在密苏里州Lee's Summit的拜尔斯说。

在美国中心地带，气候变暖说法常被认为夸大其辞，民调表明对气候变暖的怀疑论呈现上升趋势，反对国会通过气候变暖法案的保守派声势愈加浩大。通过该法案被奥巴马总统视为头等要务，该法案的命运还将影响到2010年国会选举形势。

美国将在下月的哥本哈根谈判上提出减排额度承诺：2020年温室气体排放量比2005年减少17%。

在全球科学界，美国的减排承诺被视为至关重要，因美国碳排放量约占全球总排放量的五分之一，但对于美国部分保守派人士来说，这些都是居心叵测的言论。

“我们对世界一元政府不感兴趣，而哥本哈根峰会就是走向这个方向，”茶党(Tea Party)创始人Dale Robertson说。Robertson在全国各地举行聚会，抗议奥巴马的减排工作。

保守派和基督教电台频频出现的一个论调是：全球变暖危机是一个旨在破坏美国经济和生活方式的“骗局”。在美国拥有数以千万的听众收听此类电台。

在当前的经济困境之下，上述种种都汇成一股反对的声音，民调亦显示美国人对气候问题的态度开始转冷。

《华盛顿邮报》与ABC新闻11月进行的联合调查发现，72%的美国受访者认为全球变暖正在发生，该比例低于去年80%的数字。

但即便是在那些承认气温在升高的美国人中，仍有人不愿将此归咎于人类。

10月皮尤进行的调查发现，57%的美国人感到有证据表明地球在变暖，低于2008年4月时71%的数字，但只有36%的人认为是人类活动所致，低于去年47%的数字。

Scientific Outlook on Development

科学发展观

The Scientific Outlook on Development means putting people first and aiming at comprehensive, coordinated and sustainable development.

To put people first, we should take people's interests as the starting point and foothold of all of our works, make continuous efforts to meet various needs of the people and promote an overall development of the people. To enact comprehensive development, we should quicken the pace of building socialist political and spiritual civilizations while we constantly improve the socialist market economy and maintain coordinated, healthy economic development, thus constructing a structure that features mutual improvement and common development of material, political and spiritual civilizations. To enact coordinated development, we should promote a balanced growth between urban and rural areas, different regions, economic and social undertakings, man and nature as well as domestic progress and opening-up to the world. To conduct sustainable development, we should foster a harmony between man and nature, tackle problems inherent in economic construction, population growth, resource utilization and environmental protection, and push society onto a path toward civilized development featuring growing production, an affluent lifestyle and a sound ecosystem.

Experts' understanding of the Scientific Outlook on Development

专家解读科学发展观

Why did the CPC Central Committee put forward the Scientific Outlook on Development?

考博英语写作素材

The Scientific Outlook on Development was put forward at the Third Plenary Session of the 16th CPC National Congress in 2003. It shows the new central

leadership's deeper, innovative understanding regarding the connotation, essence and nature of development.

Wang Huaichao, Deputy Director of the Department of Social Sciences of the Party School of CPC Central Committee, pointed out that after the reform and opening-up policy was introduced in 1978, the CPC Central Committee made a strategic decision to shift its focus onto socialist modernization construction. The Party's basic line, including keeping economic development as the central task and building up socialism with Chinese characteristics, gradually took shape. In the early 1990s, the CPC Central Committee formulated the principle of fast, coordinated and sustainable development. In particular, it put forth the sustainable development strategy. While propelling economic development, the CPC Central Committee took into consideration the population, resources and environment. It also began to foster harmony between man and nature. In the 10th Five-Year Plan (2001-2005), the people-first concept was put forward. However, in day-to-day works, some local governments still kept their eyes glued on economic growth, especially GDP increases. Thus, they devoted less attention to the development of society and people.

Zheng Xinli, Deputy Director of the Policy Research Office of the CPC Central Committee, had his own understanding of the background of the formulation of the Scientific Outlook on Development. He pointed out that first of all, the concept was put forward when a series of prominent issues cropped up in China's economic and social development. Since 1978, China has made much headway in its economic development. However, it was also undeniable that the country was suffering from a series of problems, such as uneven development, uncoordinated development and a weak capacity to maintain sustainable development. Specifically speaking, the divide between urban and rural areas kept enlarging, the pressure on employment was intensifying, the gap between different regions was widening, the reserve of resources was diminishing and the eco-environment was deteriorating. During this period, social development obviously lagged behind economic advancement. After the 9th Five-Year Plan period (1996-2000), great efforts were made to improve the economic growth mode, which once led to a significant decrease in consumption. However, in the past two years, the former extensive economic growth mode was discovered again in some regions. While some of the problems were unavoidable, given the current stage of development, some resulted from a faulty understanding of development. In order to solve various problems in day-to-day works, the CPC Central Committee put forward the concept of comprehensive, coordinated and sustainable development. The concept was formulated in accordance with the real conditions of China in order to meet the pressing needs of overall development of the country.

Second, the scientific concept of development is a necessary requirement to accomplish the objective of building a prosperous society in an all round way. To achieve this objective, great efforts must be made to improve the living standards

考博英语写作素材

in rural China, especially in the central and western parts of China. Efforts must also be made in urban areas where some 30 million people still lead comparatively poor lives. What should the government do to help the poor live a better life and spread the benefits of the reform and opening-up policy to all? This becomes an important task for the government to fulfill when it tries to build a prosperous society in an all-round way. To build a well-off society in an all-round way does not mean simple GDP growth. It also signifies societal development, environmental improvement, an enhancement of people's cultural life and ethical standards, and the comprehensive development of material, political and spiritual civilizations. To achieve the objective, we should change the former faulty understanding of development.

In the past five decades since the People's Republic of China was founded, we have accumulated a series of successful experiences, such as building up a nationwide public medical system and strengthening compulsory education in rural areas. However, some of these good practices were not maintained during the economic transformation. Compared with the fast economic development in China, social development obviously lagged behind, unable to meet the requirements of economic development and the needs of the people for material and cultural life. In addition, the unexpected SARS outbreak in 2003 reminded us that besides economic growth, there were many other issues that needed to be addressed promptly.

Finally, after years of economic progress, China is now capable of solving previously unsolvable problems. To solve the problems inherent in social development, such as technological innovation, educational development, pollution control and ecological improvement, a large quantity of financial investment is required. In the past, when food and clothing were not adequate, the government made all of its efforts to increase supply and fulfill people’s fundamental needs for material life. Under such conditions, it was difficult for the government to spare efforts for other issues. However, thanks to the fast development in the past 20 years, the Chinese people have become prosperous by and large. The country has seen a remarkable rise in its economic strength. The per-capita GDP totaled US$1,000.

To keep economic development as the central task is naturally included in the Scientific Outlook on Development.

Experts pointed out that to ensure the successful implementation of the

Scientific Outlook on Development, on one hand, we should correct a series of erroneous understandings, such as prioritizing economic growth over social

development, prioritizing material output over the realization of men's values, and prioritizing immediate interests over long-term interests. On the other hand, we should clearly note that to conduct comprehensive, coordinated and sustainable development, we should always consider economic development as our primary task. The law of social development tells us that although economic growth is not the whole of development, it is the essence of development.

Wang Mengkui, Director of the Development Research Center of the State Council, pointed out that the current prosperous situation in China is mainly due to fast economic growth over the past two decades. The settlement of all those social problems is based on continuous economic achievement. In the past 20 years, China has made much headway in economic development and institutional reform. Meanwhile, however, a great number of problems have cropped up. All the experiences we have acquired in domestic development and the development of other countries tell us that economic growth, especially GDP growth, should not be taken as the only index of

social-economic development. The final aim of our development should be achieving a comprehensive social advancement on the basis of economic growth, thus to enhance the living standards of all people.

Chen Xiwen is the deputy director of the Leading Work Group of Financial and Economic Works of the CPC Central Committee. He is also a specialist on agricultural policies. Chen said China used to concentrate on GDP growth alone. This was not real development. To Chen, if a local government achieved fast GDP increase by depriving farmers of their lands, works and even social securities, how could we call it development?

All positive and negative experiences warn us that on one hand, we should not replace social development by pure economic pursuit, and on the other hand, we should not deny the key role of economic development in social advancement. On the whole, we should stick to the central task of economic development and strive for a balanced development of all resources to achieve comprehensive development within all of society. China has a huge population but only a small amount of per-capita resources. Compared with the developed countries, it remains backward in many fields. Take an example: suppose the annual economic growth rate of the US stands at 3 percent and that of China 8 percent, it will take China 68 years to enjoy a per-capita GDP equal to that of the US. Suppose the annual economic growth rate of the US stands at 4 percent and that of China 7 percent, it will take China 118 years to catch up with the US. China is at the primary stage of socialism. The increase of material wealth should always be taken as the essence and fundamental issue of development. Without fast accumulation of material wealth, it is difficult for us to accomplish the objective of fostering balanced development.

What is the nature and connotation of the balanced development?

Wang Mengkui pointed out that balanced development between urban and rural areas, between different regions, between economic and social undertakings, between man and nature as well as between domestic development and opening-up to the world are the fundamental requirements of the Scientific Outlook on Development. In the course of building up a prosperous society in an all-round way and accomplishing the modernization drive, it is of vital importance to choose a proper path and pattern to achieve a better form of development.

To coordinate development between urban and rural areas, we should change the dual economic structure in the countryside and the cities. In the past, agricultural policies focused on promoting agricultural production. Currently, more efforts are being made to solve three issues inherent in agriculture, countryside and farmer by industrializing agricultural productions, transferring surplus rural labor to non-agricultural industries and to cities and towns, and incorporating rural economy into the unified national economic market. In future economic reform, efforts should be made to build up an economic system that is a boon to the transformation of the dual economic structure in rural and urban areas. More state policies should be adopted in favor of agriculture, farmers and the countryside.

To coordinate development among different regions, we should promote the common development of all regions. Regional gaps are not only found between eastern China and western China, but also between provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the central government. This problem should be gradually addressed in the course of industrialization, urbanization and market development.

To coordinate development between economic and social undertakings, we should achieve a comprehensive progress of the whole society and enhance the living standard of all people by propelling economic development. With the settlement of food and clothing problems and the deepening of reform, an increasing number of social problems have emerged. Most of the problems are due to government’s failure to carry out its duties in the course of economic restructuring. Measures shall be taken to change the role of government. In particular fields like social security, science and technology, culture and education, public health and medicare, government must fulfill its responsibilities instead of simply putting forward slogans.

To coordinate development between man and nature, we should maintain a proper growth in population, a sustainable utilization of resources, and advocate

ecological principals. Compared with other countries, China has a small amount of per-capita resources. Therefore, the government should take into consideration the condition of resources and the endurance of environment when it makes decisions on industrialization, urbanization, development patterns, development strategies, technological policies and even social life styles.

To coordinate development between domestic development and opening-up to the world, we should make the Chinese economy boom by a better use of various resources and markets at home and abroad. In the past, China suffered from a closed economy, small amounts of foreign trade volumes and a scarcity of foreign currencies. The economic structure and policies established at that time should be reformed. A great number of the old understandings on economic issues should be changed. At present, it will be a good step forward to properly increase the imports of resource-intensive products and introduce more advanced technologies. Concerning foreign trade

relations, we should make every effort to bring about a "win-win" situation in foreign trades, but we should also note that trade frictions are inevitable when an emerging country tries to penetrate the global market.

The essence of the scientific development concept is to put people first

The essence of the Scientific Outlook on Development is to put people first. This is stipulated in the Decision of the CPC Central Committee on Some Issues Concerning the Improvement of the Socialist Market Economy that was adopted at the Third Plenary Session of the 16th CPC National Congress.

Zheng Xinli made a further explanation on why the CPC Central Committee takes people as the starting point and the foothold of the Scientific Outlook on Development.

First of all, China is a socialist country under the leadership of the Communist Party of China. Therefore, national economic development should aim at meeting the growing needs of people for material and cultural life. With a huge population, China sees an uneven regional development and people's needs vary widely. Thus, we should work hard to fulfill the diversified needs of 1.3 billion people living at different social levels. Meanwhile, we should note that it is an interactive process to realize people's wishes, meet people's needs and safeguard people’s interests. We should be responsive to any changes taking place in people's wishes and interests, thus to precisely reflect people's interests in our policies and to serve the public interest in a better and more energetic way.

Second, our growth is geared to achieve a comprehensive development of the people. The subsistence and progress of the people should be taken as the foremost objectives of our works. All we do is to the people and for the people.

Only when we accomplish all these tasks can we ensure an effective implementation of the scientific concept of development, thus contributing to the comprehensive, coordinated and sustainable development of China, both in economic and social fields.
