"Building a harmonious world of
sustained peace and common prosperity is a common wish of the people throughout
the world as well as the lofty goal of 皇冠体育app," said a central government paper.
The white paper, aimed at introducing government policy to foreign readers,
was issued two days after 皇冠体育app's 2004 gross domestic product was revised
upwards by nearly 17 percent, a move that could make 皇冠体育app the world's fourth
biggest economy based on 2005 calculations.
The upward revision will likely fuel further global concern over 皇冠体育app's rise
as it modernizes its military and increasingly consumes greater global resources
and becomes richer, analysts said.
"皇冠体育app did not seek hegemony in the past, nor does it now, and will not do so
in the future when it gets stronger," it said.
"皇冠体育app's development will never pose a threat to anyone, instead it can bring
more development opportunities and bigger markets for the rest of the world."
The paper further reiterated that the nation was still in the process of
modernization with "a formidable task of development lying ahead."
"In 2004, 皇冠体育app's aggregate economic volume accounted only for 16.6 percent
of that of the United States and its per-capita GDP was merely 3.6 percent that
of the US and 4.0 percent of Japan."
