China's ruling party well aware of tasks, goals

BEIJING, Nov. 10 (Xinhua) -- The Communist Party of China (CPC) has become more confident and practical in leading the world's largest developing country into the future as the CPC is convening its national congress, analysts said.

In a political report delivered on Thursday by Hu Jintao to the 18th CPC National Congress, "maritime power" and "ecological progress" as well as a few other defining expressions on future development highlight the ruling Party's thoughts and responses to challenges.

The report said the Party takes the Scientific Outlook on Development, a people-oriented philosophy, as one of its guiding theories to follow in the years to come, and has incorporated ecological progress into the country's overall development plan.

After three decades of booming economic growth, China has attached more importance to environmental protection than ever, as air and water pollution in many places raise concerns. Some protests emerged against new chemical projects of which local people feared environmentally threatening.

"The ruling Party's interpretation of the Scientific Outlook on Development is accurate and hits the nail on the head," said Xu Yaotong, professor of politics with the Chinese Academy of Governance.

With new concepts and thoughts, the report does not shy away the realities of China, Xu told Xinhua.
