China's ruling party well aware of tasks, goals (3)

The report conveys a very clear message that the Party, fully aware of its tasks and confident of the future, will push forward political and economic reforms and unswervingly follow the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics, he said.

Hu said the country rejects both the old and rigid closed-door policy and any attempt to abandon socialism and take an erroneous path. The country will never copy a Western political system.

The message shows the CPC has confidence in following the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics after more than six decades of development.

"Reform will be high on the agenda of the new CPC leadership who has a sense of responsibility and urgency," said Wang Feng, director of the Brookings-Tsinghua Center for Public Policy at Tsinghua University.

After 30 years of planned economy and another 30 years of reform and opening up, some people in China have become weary of further reforms, Wang told Xinhua.

Hu elaborated on political and economic reforms in his keynote speech, which shows the CPC is determined to do something in these fields, Wang said.
