From People’s Daily: “In 2004 China’s economic and social development is the best in the past more than 10 years. China’s gross domestic product (GDP) will grow by about 9.5 per cent with the urban unemployment rate well controlled below 5 per cent and a big-margin increase for the farmers’ income, which has not been seen for many years. The high-speed economic growth in China can be maintained for years to come if many issues in development can be well solved, said Li Peilin, deputy director with the Institute of Sociology under the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences when he made a forecast for social development trends in 2005 in an interview. ”
