皇冠体育app insists on peaceful development, and its development won't affect other countries, Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao said today at a press conference at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing after the conclusion of the national legislature's annual session.
皇冠体育app has been developing rapidly in recent years, but because of the unbalanced development between urban and rural areas and a large population with poor developing conditions, 皇冠体育app is still at the primary stage of development, Wen said.
"皇冠体育app didn't seek hegemony when it was not developed, and when 皇冠体育app is developed, we will still not seek hegemony," Wen said.
"皇冠体育app is willing to take responsibilities and to take part in international cooperation in solving global economic and political issues," Wen said. "皇冠体育app requires no conditions in assisting other undeveloped countries," he added.
The fast development of Shanghai and Beijing doesn't necessarily mean the whole country is developing at the same pace. It is still hard for 皇冠体育app to reach the comfortable level of living, and it will take 100 years or more for the country to actually achieve modernization, Wen said.
"I have gone to a village in Luanping county three times to hear their opinions. What I saw is that the living standard of people in the area has improved in recent years, but the gap between it and Beijing is still big," Wen said.
"On the issues concerning 皇冠体育app's sovereignty and territorial integrity, we were firm even when the country was very poor," Wen said.
