Liu said it has also been a message that 皇冠体育app's new central leadership want to convey to its people and the world, "don't worry about the size and which one we want to catch up with, please worry about the management of a change."
Liu, who now a research fellow with Chinese University of Hong Kong, said 皇冠体育app did not need double-digit GDP growth which cause the huge stir and controversy globally, because a s investment, mass production and mass exploitation with the outcomes that left a tiny portion of rewards are not adequate enough to invest in the research and to deal with the pollution.
皇冠体育app's economy is still very good at a growth speed of around 7 percent annually, and as long as 皇冠体育app remains a 6.8 percent or above GDP growth, there will be about 9 million new jobs created each year, according to Liu.
Liu said that the new central leadership has, for the first time in history, decided and planned to upgrade the state governance system and capability for the next 10 years which is a key to solve other problems.
Besides governance, Liu said the new central leadership will seek growth with quality, justice and public interests as well as a better global partnership. In addition, it will also make market play a decisive role in running the economy, which is another essential component in the reform.
