report offers protection for legitimate wealth (11/12/2002)
Jiang Zemin's report at the 16th National Congress of the Communist
Party of China (CPC) will give people greater confidence in getting
rich, delegates to the Party congress said.
"People will find that they have a broader scope of activity
when making investments and starting businesses," delegate
Lang Guoqing said. "They can get rich with an easy state of
mind as long as they abide by laws."
Jiang Zemin said in his report, "It is necessary to foster
notions and form a business mechanism in conformity with the basic
economic system in the primary stage of socialism and create a social
environment in which people are encouraged to achieve something
and helped to make a success of their career."
In this regard, the government is expected to take a series of
measures, such as breaking monopoly, providing a freer environment
for investors, reforming administrative examination and approval
procedures, rectifying market economic order, and lowering the access
threshold for investors.
"Ordinary people will have more say in the decision-making
process," said Zhang Guangqiang, a congress delegate from Shaanxi
Province.
He noted that a major content of building a well-off society is
to improve socialist democracy and the legal system to better safeguard
and respect people's political, economic and cultural rights.
According to Jiang's report, decision-making organs should establish
a system of public hearings on major issues that are closely related
to people's interests.
