Key quotes from Hu Jintao's report to CPC national congress (2)

On economy

-- Taking economic development as the central task is vital to national renewal, and development still holds the key to addressing all the problems we have in China.

-- The underlying issue we face in economic structural reform is how to strike a balance between the role of the government and that of the market, and we should follow more closely the rules of the market and better play the role of the government.

-- We should firmly maintain the strategic focus of boosting domestic demand, speed up the establishment of a long-term mechanism for increasing consumer demand, unleash the potential of individual consumption, increase investment at a proper pace, and expand the domestic market.

-- We should give high priority to rural areas in developing infrastructure and social programs in the country.
