Hu underscores opening-up, economic security
BEIJING—China needs a stronger
system to protect its economic security while it is determined to carry
on the opening-up policy under increasingly tough international
competitions, President Hu Jintao said Saturday.
The government must improve its capacity to monitor economic security
situations, give early warnings and respond to the crisis, Hu said when
presiding over a group study of the Political Bureau of the Communist
Party of China (CPC) Central Committee. The country also must make more
efforts to protect the safety of its assets and citizens abroad, Hu,
also general secretary of the CPC Central Committee, said at the group
study on opening-up and economic security.
Hu said China will stick to and expand its opening-up drive, which has
been proved conducive to the country’s economy and technological
progress. The opening-up drive can also help sharpen China’s competitive
edge and create a favorable international environment, he said.
The country will try to change its foreign trade structure, exporting
and importing more quality products rather than pursuing the increase of
quantity, he said.
It will open wider its high-tech industry and manufacturing to foreign
capital, and introduce more advanced technologies, experience of
management and high-level personnel from foreign countries, he said.
The government will also support more Chinese companies to invest abroad
by improving cross-border service and risk management, he said. China
will take up its international responsibility and try its best to help
other developing countries, Hu said.
The country will deal with the problems of exports’ quality, climate
change, environment protection and intellectual property in a proper way
while protecting the legal interests of domestic companies and the stake
of the country, he added.
