BEIJING, Dec. 10-- China, the world's largest developing economy, has generally sailed through a challenging year marked by trade tensions and weak demand among others. Facing the complicated situation of rising risks and challenges both at home and abroad this year, China has maintained sustained and sound economic and social development, said a meeting held last Friday by the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee. Xi Jinping, general secretary of the CPC Central Committee, presided over the meeting. The meeting analyzed major economic work for 2020, setting a general agenda to finish building a moderately prosperous society in all respects in the final year of the 13th Five-Year Plan. Such a meeting is one of the ways for the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core, the helmsman of the Chinese economy, to analyze and manage economic operation. Besides the regular meeting, the CPC Central Committee Political Bureau also held group study sessions this year, many of which were about economic and financial affairs. The central committee for financial and economic affairs has held two meetings so far this year, discussing topics including optimizing regional economic development, while the central committee for deepening overall reform has held six meetings to push for reforms in key fields and links. Xi is head of the above-mentioned two committees. |
