Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao said in Beijing Sunday that unity and
stability are his overriding concerns.
While meeting the press at the end of the annual session of the
National People's Congress (NPC), Premier Wen said in response to a
question about the incident in 1989 that an important reason for
China's tremendous development in the past 15 years was the fact
that the Communist Party of China (CPC) maintained China's unity
and social and political stability.
"A severe political storm occurred in China at the late 1980s
and early 1990s," he said. "At a crucial juncture bearing on the
country's destiny, the CPC Central Committee, by relying on the
whole party and the people of all ethnicities across the country,
continued to the uphold the policies laid down following the third
plenary session of the 11th CPC Central Committee held in late 1978
and successfully steered the general situation of China's reform
and opening to the outside world, and safeguarded the cause of
socialism with Chinese characteristics."
The next two decades will be a very crucial, strategic period
for China's development, and unity and stability are his overriding
issues, the Chinese premier said.
