China's ruling party well aware of tasks, goals (4)

To complete the building of a moderately prosperous society in all respects, "We must, with greater political courage and vision, lose no time in deepening reform in key sectors," Hu said.

China is building an overall well-off society. However, due to unbalanced development, people in eastern coastal areas have become relatively well-off as a whole while many others in central and western regions are still struggling with poverty.

It is practical for the Party to promote coordinated and balanced development between urban and rural areas, and eastern and western regions, Liu said.

"If we could not confront the widening gap between the rich and the poor, the overall social development would have a negative consequence," said Liu.

"The landscape for prosperity has been drawn. The key lies in designing and implementing concrete mechanisms and moves," Liu stressed.
