NEW HAVEN, the United States -- Visiting Chinese President Hu Jintao said
at Yale University Friday that China had aligned itself with a new
concept of scientific development to meet the needs of 21st century.
"To realize these goals (for the next 15 years), China has adopted a new
concept of development in line with its national conditions and the
requirement of the times," Hu told Yale University students in New Haven,
Connecticut.

China will "pursue a scientific outlook on development that makes
economic and social development people-oriented, comprehensive, balanced
and sustainable," Hu said.
"We will work to strike a proper balance between urban and rural
development, development among regions, economic and social development,
development of man and nature, and domestic development and opening wider
to the outside world," said Hu.
Hu further said that China would put greater emphasis on addressing
issues affecting people's livelihood, overcoming imbalances in
development, and resolving key problems that have occurred in the course
of development.
The president said China would pursue a new path to industrialization
featuring high technology, good economic returns, low
resource-consumption, low environment pollution and the full use of human
resources.
"We will bring about coordinated economic, political, cultural and social
development," said Hu, noting that China would also endeavor to ensure
sustainable development by boosting production, improving people's lives
and protecting the environment.
Hu underlined the basis of the new concept, saying it was "based on the
experience China has gained in its modernization drive and put forth in
response to the trends of the times."
"It is also rooted in the cultural heritages of the Chinese nation," he
added.
Hu also introduced China's goal for the next fifteen years to the Yale
students, saying China aimed to "raise China's GDP to 4 trillion U.S.
dollars by 2020, averaging 3,000 dollars per person."
China "will strive to make new progress in building a moderately
prosperous society in an all-round way that will benefit China's one
billion and more population," Hu said.
"By then, China's economy will be better developed, and its democracy
will be further enhanced. More progress will be made in science and
education," Hu predicted.
"Its culture will be further enriched, its society will become more
harmonious and the people will lead a better life," he added.
