Scientist Says Chinese Development Different from Western Countries
Xinhua
12-JAN-99
BEIJING (Jan. 12) XINHUA - Zhou Guangzhou, the vice-chairman of the Standing
Committee of the Ninth National People's Congress (NPC), said today that
China needs a new development road and models that are different from
Western countries' for its sustainable development.
Zhou told the annual meeting of the China Association of Science and
Technology that China's large population and shortage of natural resources
mean that it needs a new mode of production and a new style of economizing
on resources that is environmentally friendly and uses latest research
findings.
Zhou, also president of the association, said that the serious flooding last
summer revealed the problems in China's economic development like the
destruction of forests. Scientists need to advise the government and spread
knowledge among leading officials to promote the coordinated development of
the economy, society and the environment.
The China Association of Science and Technology has 4.3 million members. Its
annual meeting provides a forun for scientists to discuss their major goals.
