Li Deshui Quotations

The reform of the exchange rate has been proved a successful one.

China's currency policy is not directly linked to the census result. China will not change the currency policy frequently, and will act prudently.

China overtook Italy in 2004 to become sixth. In US dollar terms, China ranked sixth.

If China lets multinationals' malicious mergers and acquisitions go ahead freely, China can only act as labor in the global supply chain.

If a large amount of profits and wealth falls into the hands of multinationals, even with a large GDP, our national interests could still be compromised ... and our nation's economic security and sovereignty could be threatened.

If we allow hostile takeovers to happen without limitations, we would gradually lose our domestic brands and innovation capability.

If such a trend is allowed to develop without control, domestic companies will be in great danger.

It is impossible for the U.S. customs to register the amount of money if China purchases a movie from the United States.

Such massive capacity does not match the size of our economy.

Stable global oil prices can be achieved if we all try to avoid major shocks.

We can tell that the gap between China and France is rather limited. However, we still need a way to go to catch up with Britain.

We have been welcoming foreign investment, but now we have to curb any attempt to monopolize the Chinese market.

This time, we have cut off the past (way of doing things), we have got rid of the millstone around our neck and we are moving forwards.

Through the survey, we are able to remove the 'water' from the statistics of the manufacturing sector, in particular, from small-sized enterprises.

We will offer information about supply and demand to public and companies and alert them about making investments blindly.

Even though we have revised up the service sector to 40.7% from 31.9%, the percentage is still very low and accelerating development of the service sector is still an important task.

The revised statistics show that China's economic structure is more reasonable and healthy than the previous figures showed.

The trend toward a bigger gap is inevitable as city salary levels grow much faster. It will take a long time before government efforts can solve the problem.

These census results show that the economic structure is actually better and healthier than our previous judgment.

These new figures give us a clearer picture and a better way of understanding China's economy. Based on these figures, we can have even more confidence in our long-term fairly fast and sustained economic growth.

The national economic situation is fairly good in 2005. In particular, the stability of economic performance is strengthened to some extent, and progress is seen in more balanced development.

Compared to France and Britain, there is still a certain gap ... but I believe that this gap is getting smaller.

Any sovereign state will not allow such a thing to happen.

It is very difficult to conduct statistical surveys as they are very scattered with frequent changes, resulting in a certain degree of under-coverage.

The international community shouldn't think that because there's been a little bit of change in the data, China is all of the sudden exceedingly powerful. Problems and complications are still there.

In the publication, utilization and analysis of the survey results, departments and local governments concerned should continue to abide by the Statistics Law and the Regulations on National Economic Survey, to protect business confidentiality and privacy of the respondents, and to honor earnestly the commitments of not levying any penalties on the respondents on the basis of survey information.

The key problems existing in the current economic performance are a weak agricultural base, insufficient staying power for grain production and (lack of) increase in rural household income.

This helps local governments to throw away the big burden left by history.
