The year 2005 is not only a year of reform, but a year of "fight a
nut-cracking battle" in reform, Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao said at a press
conference today in Beijing.
To remove the unhealthy and destabilizing
factors in the economy and strengthen the achievements of macroregulation hinges
on reform, he said.
To solve the deeply-rooted "contradictions and problems"
in the economic development, adjust the industrial structure and change the
patterns of economic growth relies on reform, the premier said.
Wen said that
to realize social fairness and justice and build a harmonious society also needs
reform.
China's reform cannot be done in just one year, but is a long- term
target. It would be better to solve some problems at an earlier date, or they
will be accumulated to a level hard to solve, Wen warned.
The premier set
five tasks for reform this year:
-- To restructure government bodies and
change government functions;
-- To promote the reform of state-owned
enterprises, focusing on building corporate governance and joint-stock
reform;
-- To push forward financial reform. We need to exert great efforts
for the reform since the finance is an "very important and problematic" part in
the economy;
-- To push forward rural reform focusing on the reform of tax
and fees administration; and,
-- To advance social security reform.
