What changes have taken place in China since the 60th anniversary of the National Day?

Great changes have taken place in many achievements of China's socialist construction since the 60th anniversary of the National Day. Let me talk about economic changes:

First of all, China's gross domestic product continues to grow. China's GDP 1978 was 3624 1 100 million yuan, 1997 was 74,462.6 billion yuan, in 2006 it was 95,933.3 billion yuan, in 2002 it was/kloc-0,023.98 billion yuan and in 2003 it was 654,398 yuan. At comparable prices, China's gross national product has increased nearly eight times in the past 20 years. During the 20 years from 1978 to 2003, the average annual growth rate of China's GDP was about 10%, while the average annual growth rates of other major countries were 2.7% in the United States, 2.6% in Canada, 3.3% in Japan, 5.2% in India, 2.0% in France and 2.2% in Britain. By comparison, we can see that the growth rate of China's GDP is much higher than that of developed countries in the world.

Second, the growth rate of GDP per capita is much higher than that of other countries. In China, 1980 was 379 yuan, 1990 was 1634 yuan, in 2006 it was 7543 yuan, and in 2002 it was 7954 yuan, an increase of more than 20 times. The balance of import and export increased from-1.978 (deficit) to-1.986-1.990, and then began to rise,1.990 turned into a surplus. China's international reserves were-129.6 million USD in 1980,1093 million USD in 1998 and 144960 million USD in 2006.

Third, the utilization of foreign capital has increased substantially. 1985, the actually utilized foreign capital in China was US$ 4.46 billion, reaching US$ 49.67 billion in 2006 and US$ 55 10/000 million in 2002, an increase of over10 times. China has become one of the countries attracting the most foreign investment. Nearly 400 of the world's top 500 multinational companies have invested in China.

Fourth, it resisted the Asian financial crisis. China's foreign trade has been under great pressure, and the situation of utilizing foreign capital is not optimistic. The market is weak, consumption is sluggish, and deflation is becoming more and more obvious. There are external financial crisis and internal deflation. In order to save the crisis, the government shouted the slogan of "actively expanding domestic demand" and introduced a series of policies and measures to stimulate economic development: the renminbi will not depreciate, a proactive fiscal policy, a prudent and flexible monetary policy, raising the export tax rebate rate, and managing finances according to law.

Fifth, successfully join the WTO. Joining the WTO is both an opportunity and a challenge for China. This means that China's economy has been integrated into the world economic system, and China will participate in international competition on an equal footing in a more stable and harmonious international environment, so as to realize the rational allocation of resources.
