The CPC Central Committee and the State Council highly value water pollution control of the Songhua River. On this March 15, President Hu Jintao made an important instruction that pollution control of the Songhua River was a heavy task and concerned sustainable development of the region as well as the relationship between China and Russia. The urgency requires us to have stronger sense of responsibility and earnestly implement the pollution control plan in a bid to achieve marked results through our control efforts and strict law enforcement and supervision. The important instruction of President Hu Jintao provided guidance to our control work. Premier Wen Jiabao also noted on many occasions that the importance of pollution control along the Songhua River should be fully recognized and more efforts were needed in this regard. Vice Premier Zeng Peiyan have listened to our reports for many times and instructed SEPA and other departments concerned to strengthen sense of responsibility and urgency and implement policies conscientiously. Local governments should tighten leadership and apply target responsibility system. He also added that while speeding up pollution source control in the river basin and removing the hidden trouble, we must prevent new pollution. A combination of prevention and control will ensure our objectives will be achieved as scheduled.

The aim of this meeting is to further implement the important instructions of the Central Committee and the State Council, apply principles of the televised meeting on energy conservation and emission reduction hosted by the State Council, review our work to control water pollution in the Songhua River, analyze current situation and outstanding problems, spell out our objectives, tasks and measures in the near future to get the the Songhua River recover and promote the whole river basin to develop sound and fast. I will make three points:

I. Fully recognize the importance and urgency of pollution control of the Songhua River

Since 2006 local governments, departments and key enterprises concerned have pay much attention to pollution reduction and made great efforts under the leadership of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council. In 2006 emissions of SO₂ and COD across the country grew by 1.8% and 1.2% respectively, down 11.3% and 4.4% over the same period of 2005, which has laid a foundation for our future work. However, we are fully aware of the growing trend of the discharge of major pollutants and increasing environmental pressure. In the first quarter of this year, energy intensive and heavy pollution industry overtook the growth of other industries, making our pollution reduction task even heavier. 

In order to achieve the binding target of pollution reduction, the State Council established a leading group with Premier Wen Jiabao as group leader and Vice Premier Zeng Peiyan as deputy group leader. Related staff in departments concerned serve as members in charge of coordination and settlement of major problems of the work. This fully demonstrates the high attention of the Central Committee and the State Council to energy conservation and emission reduction. On Apr. 27, the State Council held a televised meeting on energy conservation and emission reduction. Premier Wen Jiabao delivered an important speech in which he reviewed current situation and outstanding problems and made arrangements for future work. He also stressed to strictly control the development of high energy consumption and pollution industries, phase out outdated production capacity and improve leadership and accountability system to score a victory in our fight for energy conservation and emission reduction in the Eleventh Five-year period. There are six characteristics of the meeting: first, it approaches environmental issues from national macro strategy; second, it aims to strengthen environmental protection from the whole process of reproduction and the measures cover the four links of production, distribution, circulation and consumption; third, strengthen management and energy conservation and emission reduction according to law; fourth, increase spending to support energy conservation and emission reduction; fifth, we will operate large scale projects to accelerate the control efforts in order to solve prominent environmental problems; sixth, we will motivate all social forces to prepare for environmental protection work. Premier Wen Jiabao also highlighted the importance of the two binding targets set out in the Eleventh Five-year plan. We cannot change the targets and must work hard on it. This is a crucial year to accomplish the targets. As one of the seven major river basins in the country, the Songhua River is surrounded by many heavy chemical industries, and has suffered from environmental pollution in a long period of time in history. This makes our control task even difficult. The Songhua River is not only an important part of pollution reduction but also a hard nut to crack. The purpose of this meeting is to fully implement the principle of the televised meeting held by the State Council on energy conservation and emission reduction and win the first battle of pollution reduction in the Songhua River.

In the meanwhile, we need to see the indefinite opportunities behind the enormous pressure of pollution control in the Songhua River. The best chance to solve the problem may lie behind this passive situation. This is a passive advantage. How to make use of it and turn it into a proactive one rests in our capability to grasp opportunities. The theory of passive advantage first appeared in the book of On Protracted War by Mao Zedong. We were once mired in difficulty and an unfavorable situation during the CPC-led War of Resistance against Japan, War of Liberation and socialist modernization drive. It was the passive advantage and solidarity that turned the situation active and vigorous. Although we face mounting challenges in today's environmental protection work, it is a sure thing to open up a new vision so long as we are able to grasp the opportunities in disguise and bring the passive advantage into full play.   

Since the State Council approved the water pollution control plan for the Songhua River (2006-2010), related departments have worked with Jilin Province, Heilongjiang Province and Inner Mongolian Autonomous Region to step up efforts to strengthen leadership and carry out the reduction responsibility. Some control projects have been geared up and launched to accelerate the building of pollution control facilities and enhance emergency response capacity. We have handled quite a few environmental accidents appropriately and achieved phased results. The CPC Committee of Jilin Province and the provincial government convened the 6th provincial meeting on environmental protection last year and jointly issued instructions on strengthening environmental protection and promoting scientific development. This is the first time in the history of environmental work in Jilin Province that related document is released in the name of the CPC Committee. According to the local situation that Jilin Province is the home of maze and the key links and problems in corncob processing industry for furfural, provincial EPB has put forward effective measures to explore a path to industrialization of maze production and environmental protection. Heilongjiang Provincial Party Committee and Provincial government seek development while protecting the environment and continue to upgrade the position of environmental protection in its development strategy. Last year the provincial government held the 8th provincial meeting on environmental protection and circulated instructions on implementing Decision of the State Council on the Implementation of the Outlook on Scientific Development and Strengthening Environmental Protection. Since this March, several emergent meetings were held including the executive meeting of provincial governors, meeting of members of standing committee of Provincial Party Committee and meeting for strengthening pollution control in the Songhua River where overall arrangements were made for the control efforts. Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region held the 5th meeting for environmental protection last year, unveiled instructions on implementing Decision of the State Council on the Implementation of the Outlook on Scientific Development and Strengthening Environmental Protection and further clarified the targets, tasks and guarantee measures of environmental work. After this year's two sessions for NPC and CPPCC, the autonomous region held another environmental protection meeting and made arrangement for pollution reduction. The party committee and government of the region put environmental performance in a more important position for evaluating local officials, making environmental indexes the most important one for official evaluation and greatly promoted correct understanding of Scientific Outlook on Development and political achievement.

In the past few days we have investigated the water quality of drinking water in Sifangtai area of Harbin City, pollution control of four enterprises and operation of three municipal sewage plants. We can see that we have made much progress. But there are also some outstanding problems which are summed up as follows:

First, water pollution tends to grow serious. The monitoring results of 2006 water quality indicate that the major pollution indexes of permanganate and NH3-N continue to rise, water pollution in tributary has worsened compared to that of 2005, falling into the category of serious pollution. Among the 14 monitored sections, 43% accounted for Grade IV and V and 43% accounted for less than Grade V. The most seriously polluted tributaries include the Yitong River and Yinma River of Jilin Province, Hulan River and Ashi River of Heilongjiang Province.

Second, pollution caused by irrational industrial structure looms large. The Songhua River basin is an old industrial base with irrational industrial structure and many high energy consumption and pollution industries. Pollution discharge intensity remains high and COD discharge per 10,000 GDP ranks the top among the seven major river basins in China. Recently the economy in the Songhua River has registered fast development but high polluting industries like heavy chemical industry makes up the majority of newly launched projects. There is a trend that papermaking, leather manufacture and other high pollution industries are flowing from developed areas to the Songhua River basin.

Third, construction of pollution control facilities lags behind economic development. Many medium and large cities in the river basin lack sewage treatment facilities and domestic sewage drains into the river without treatment. Some planned treatment facilities for sewage and refuse are tardy in starting construction and established sewage treatment facilities cannot be put into operation. Sewage treatment fees are charged by a rather low standard and the use of fees is not regulated with some even being appropriated. Landfill sites for domestic refuse fail to meet sanitation standard and the leachate poses direct threat to the water quality of the Songhua River.

Fourth, environmental infringement is serious. Violations of environmental impact assessment and three synchronizations by enterprises are common and illegal pollution discharge occurs from time to time. Among the 82 pollution discharge enterprises in the Songhua River basin investigated secretly by SEPA, 80% have discharged more pollutants than allowed. Slack environmental supervision, weak management capability and law enforcement still exist. Some local governments even interfere with environmental law enforcement by setting up key enterprises under protection, key enterprises for service and other local policies.

Fifth, the process of implementing the planned pollution control projects is slow. Local governments do not pay much attention to pollution control and still wait for central government to provide financial and technical support. Inadequate spending on pollution control also seriously hinders project implementation. By far only 6% of the projects have been completed and early efforts have not started for 48% of the projects. Limited by climate, the construction period is short. If we do not accelerate our efforts, it is very difficult to complete the projects as scheduled.

We must pay high attention to these outstanding problems and adopt feasible measures to address them. Fully recognizing the importance and urgency of water pollution control of the Songhua River, we must put this task in a more important strategic position. In the meantime, we need to realize that strengthened efforts in pollution control have great significance to the sustainable development and social harmony of the whole river basin. First, this is the fundamental requirement for reviving old industrial base in Northeast China. The Songhua River is the foundation of economic boom in the northeast area. In the early years after the Liberation War, many resource-intensive enterprises and heavy chemical corporations were established along the Songhua River out of national interest, making great contributions to national economic development. However, with the fast development and transition of our economy, the once treasure-trove is being depleted, energy base turning into hollows, and the ever renowned middle and large enterprises going bankrupt. The Songhua River has lost its vitality. Now we are embracing a good opportunity to revive the old industrial base, speed up reform and restructuring of state-owned enterprises and upgrade industrial technologies. Strengthening pollution control in the Songhua River is an important move to facilitate economic restructuring and change in economic growth mode. Second, it is an urgent need to protect the environmental rights of people living along the river. The Songhua River is the mother river of people in the Northeast and it feeds 62 million Chinese. In recent years frequent environmental emergencies and some major accidents like water pollution in the Songhua River and the Niuhe River has brought about serious economic losses and even affected social harmony. If economic growth is accompanied by harm to public health, then it is a biting satire on economic development. Third, pollution control meets the practical need of the development of China-Russia relations. As an international river, the Songhua River witnessed the sincere friendship between the two peoples. Russia is a good neighbor of China as well as a good strategic partner. We vision a broad prospect for bilateral cooperation in economic, diplomatic, environmental protection and other fields. The successive occurrence of environmental pollution in the Songhua River prompted close attention of Russia and repercussion among the people. Enhanced efforts in pollution control not only benefits increased friendship between China and Russia but also critical to China's image as a responsible country.

On the whole, we must have profound understanding of the importance of pollution control in Songhua River, strengthen sense of responsibility, crisis and mission and show responsibility to our country, the Chinese nation and future generations by making strenuous efforts so as to serve the long term interest of the nation and achieve balanced development of social, economic and environmental development in the river basin.

II. Clarify the policy of rehabilitating the Songhua River

The Eleventh Five-year plan period is an important period for us to build a moderately prosperous society in all respects, strengthen environmental protection and improve environmental quality. The main objectives in our control efforts are as follows: in the long run we will restore the river basin to its picturesque natural scenery, maintain good eco cycle and ensure a peaceful, green and environment-friendly river basin; in the middle term, we will have the water quality improve markedly by 2010, meeting the standard of water environment function zones and in the near term, we will consolidate our pollution control achievements and keep a stable water quality by 2008.

To realize above objectives, we must adhere to coordinated and systematic management, concentrate on priorities and comprehensive treatment, rely on market operation under the guidance of the government and prevent and control pollution in accordance with law and social supervision. We will step up efforts in industrial restructuring, accelerating pollution control among industrial corporations along the river and enhance environmental law enforcement. The pollution control plan for the Songhua River basin will be launched to gradually improve water environment. We must earnestly implement the following six policies at present and in the near future: 

1. Increase threshold for market access through environmental regulations. The key measure for the rehabilitation of the Songhua River is to control the generation of pollution. First we must strictly control the discharge of toxic and hazardous substance. During the Eleventh Five-year plan period all projects involving discharge of mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium and other heavy metals as well as organic pollutants that are not degradable will be rejected. The scope will further expand in the Twelfth Five-year Plan period. Second, we will curb the excessive growth of energy intensive and high pollution industries. Market access will be tightened for iron and steel, ferroalloy, coking, calcium carbide, copper smelting and automobile industry. Those fail to meet national industrial policies will be rejected.  Third, we will strictly control incremental emissions. Any local governments or corporations that fail to achieve their pollution reduction targets as scheduled, discharge more pollutants than total volume allowed, are found to have outstanding environmental infringements and substandard discharges at the major control sections and do not fulfill the task of eliminating outdated production capacities will be subject to ban of projects for the whole region. Environmental impact assessment approval will be suspended for projects leading to newly added pollution in the region or sector. Fourth, we will strengthen management of three synchronizations and make strict checks on completed project. We will have an overall examination of new projects. Operators do not observe the regulation will be ordered to stop production; checks will be made on enterprises on trial production for synchronous operation of pollution control facilities. Where operations are not in line with the regulation, orders will be made to stop trial production and rectify operations within the set time limit. Fifth, we will make active efforts in environmental impact assessment for plans. We will motivate related organizations to conduct environmental impact assessment for plans according to the revised general plan of the Songhua River basin and plan for navigation along trunk stream of the Songhua River. EIA for plan will be taken as a prerequisite for project approval concerning development areas and industrial parks. In light of local industrial structure, some hydraulic projects that may have a big impact on ecology or cause serious pollution and construction projects that may have cross-border implications will be approved by the higher level authority to ensure strict approval.

2. Phase out outdated production capacity. Outdated production capacity is a primary contributor to resource and energy waste and environmental pollution. We will intensify efforts to phase out obsolete production capacity in the twelve high energy consumption and pollution industries including power, steel, building materials, electrolytic aluminum, ferroalloy, calcium carbide, coke, flat glass, paper making, alcohol, monosodium glutamate and citric acid in accordance with the to-be-announced General Work Plan for Energy Conservation and Pollutant Discharge Reduction and the state policy of encouraging large scale projects and dismissing small ones for coal-fired power plants and steel sector. By the end of this year, we will completely eliminate or shut down disqualified plants for straw pulp, chemical pulping facilities, paper making out of yellow straw board and waste board, alcohol, monosodium glutamate, furfural and starch manufactures. If conditions permitting, local governments should adopt industrial policies with higher standard than national ones, increase water pollutant discharge standard and speed up implementation. Efforts are needed to work out plans for eliminating outdated production capacities for different areas and years and earnestly carry out these plans. Local governments should order enterprises that do not comply with the requirement to stop production or shut down businesses and inflict punishment severely. Elimination of outdated production capacity is an important measure to improve the quality of economic development and realize the targets of pollution reduction. We should also follow the guidance of policies and related laws and regulations on the one hand, and get resolved and make full-fledged plans on the other hand in order to handle all kinds of contradictions properly and score sound and fast development. 

3. Strengthen protection of drinking water sources. Due to various reasons in history, the Songhua River basin is spread with high dangerous industries like chemical, petrochemical and smelting. Once there is a major accident, it will lead to enormous environmental disaster and heavy loss of life and property. We must draw lessons from the water pollution accidents and make it a top priority to ensure safety of drinking water sources. First, we will speed up zoning and adjustment of protected areas for drinking water sources. Local governments must work out zoning plans for the administrative area and complete the zoning and adjustment and clarify environmental protection measures in the first half of this year according to related technical specifications. Second, we must crack down on practices that do harm to drinking water sources. Intensified efforts are needed to make inspections of eliminated discharge outlets of level I protected areas to prevent it from resurging. Newly built or extension projects and docks for loading and unloading refuse, oil and other toxic and hazardous substances constructed within the level II protected areas since 2000 should be banned or cleared by the end of August. Third, we will develop an emergency plan for pollution of drinking water sources. We must make emergency plans for each key pollution sources threatening drinking water sources, establish a guarantee system integrating the three steps of early warning against pollution sources, emergent treatment of water quality and emergency response of water plants. By the end of 2008, a safety guarantee system for drinking water sources should be put in place first in the seven cities of Harbin, Changchun, Jilin, Qiqihaer, Daqing, Jiamusi and Mudanjiang. 

4. Strengthen control of key industrial pollution sources. The key industrial pollution sources are both priority and the difficult part in our control efforts. First, we will speed up efforts to establish a pollution reduction index system, monitoring system and evaluation system and books on total discharge control to keep abreast of the development of pollution reduction and newly generated pollution. This will lay groundwork for making targeted measures. Second, we will equip automatic monitoring system as soon as possible. Provincial, municipal and prefecture governments should identify the key pollution sources at different levels and urge those key enterprises to equip themselves with the facilities and get networked with environmental departments as quick as possible. We will have more frequent monitoring on those do not put the facilities in place and ensure dynamic management of key pollution sources. We will enhance supervision on the operation of sewage treatment facilities, install online monitoring system within a set period of time and carry out evaluation system for the operation of sewage treatment facilities to ensure pollution discharge is stable and up to standard. Third, we will accelerate pollution control of key enterprises. The 126 key industrial enterprises listed in the plan must fulfill pollution control task during the Eleventh Five-year Plan period and large chemical and pharmaceutical enterprises must treat wastewater step by step in plants, branches and the general works to ensure pollution discharge is always up to standard and meet the requirement of cap control. Fourth, enterprises discharge more pollutants than allowed should be ordered to halt production for rectification, those fail to ensure stable and qualified discharge should be subject to rectification within a set period of time during which production and discharge are limited. If the task of pollution control is not fulfilled, enterprises will be instructed to suspend production for rectification. Enterprises that comply with discharge standard but do not fulfill the pollution reduction task as scheduled will undergo clean production audit and technological reform. The central government will subsidize pollution reduction projects with clean production techniques and technologies.

5. Accelerate construction of urban sewage treatment facilities. The construction and stable operation of municipal sewage treatment plants are key to reduce major water pollutants and improve water environment quality. As required by the State Council, municipal sewage treatment rate of provincial capital cities is expected to reach 50% by the end of 2008 and reach 70% by the end of 2010. Construction of sewage treatment facilities in all the towns and prefectures in the upper reaches for centralized drinking water sources will be started by the end of 2008 and by 2010 all the facilities will be put into operation. In this context, we have a lot to do to catch up with the planned progress. Local governments should advance the construction of pollution control facilities according to this requirement. First, we will accelerate the building of sewage treatment plants and supporting facilities. The construction scale should be determined according to the construction progress of networks and sewage collection capabilities. In the meantime, in view of the features of water pollution in the Songhua River, all sewage treatment plants that are newly built, rebuilt and expanded must have denitrification technologies in place and existing treatment plants should also add the technologies by the end of 2008. Urban refuse disposal facilities must install leachate treatment system to ensure qualified pollution discharge. Second, we will improve sewage treatment fee system. We will adjust the charging standard to a proper level and take account of the cost of environmentally friendly disposal of sludge. All cities within the river basin should collect sewage treatment fee by the end of 2007 and the charging standard should not be lower than 0.8 yuan/ton in order to ensure the sewage treatment plants can cover all their costs and earn a small profit and operate normally. All users with self-contained water-source should pay sewage treatment fee. A better fee collection system should be put in place to ensure the sewage treatment fees are used to serve their purpose. The implementation of fee collection policy in local level will be taken as a prerequisite to subsidized facilities granted by the central government. Third, we must promote commercialization of construction and operation of sewage treatment facilities. The state has made favorable policies on land, taxation and power supply and local governments should take the initiative to introduce supplementary measures. Current urban sewage and refuse disposal plants should accelerate institutional reform and transform into market-based legal corporations.

6. Rational development and use of water resources. Rational arrangement and use of water resources is an important measure to maintain the healthy development of rivers. We must balance the development, use and protection of water resources and properly handle the relations among people's life, production and ecological use of water to ensure necessary base flow of rivers. During the Eleventh Five-year Plan period, water diversion projects draining water from the Songhua River basin to other river basins should be rejected. We should also pay equal attention to the protection of surface water and ground water, prohibiting irrational development of ground water and preventing pollutants from seeping to underground.

III. Enhance environmental supervision of the Songhua River basin

Water pollution control of the Songhua River is an arduous task in the long run. The key to realizing the set targets and policies lies in enhanced supervision and earnest implementation.

1. Enhance leadership. Local governments should take the major responsibility for pollution control. Officials at all levels must raise awareness and follow the guidance of Scientific Outlook on Development, the requirement of sound and fast development and the arrangement of pollution reduction. We will put it on top agenda and establish a special pollution reduction group to ensure related departments and staff take their responsibilities and measures and funds are put in place. We will strengthen supervision, solve outstanding problems affecting the progress of our work timely, intensify efforts to assess pollution control and integrate it into the comprehensive evaluation system of local economic and social development, making it an important criterion to evaluate government officials and corporate management. We will improve accountability system by canceling the honorary titles conferred by SEPA on organizations fail to fulfill their tasks on time and claiming against persons concerned for responsibility and rewarding those making dramatic progress in pollution control and have done a good job through financial channels of central government.

2. Increase spending on environmental protection. We will establish a funding mechanism guided by government, operated mainly by enterprises and involving different social forces. Both the central government and local governments need to boost investment in pollution control and channel social funds to pollution control projects. The state will gradually increase spending on pollution control of the Songhua River basin. Local governments should also make efforts to raise funds, allocate more government funds to ensure they can be put in to use on time. Projects listed in the Plan should be implemented one by one with accelerated efforts. Early efforts should be made as soon as possible for projects that are not launched and enhance efficiency of project approval; projects under construction should be constructed more quickly to ensure quality. Operators of completed projects should guarantee normal operation and up-to-standard pollution discharge. We will encourage and guide financial institutions to provide support to environmental projects through loans. Enterprises should go about pollution control, ecological rehabilitation and environmental protection based on market mechanism and on the principle that polluters are responsible for pollution control and investors in environmental protection benefit from the results. Such departments as environmental protection, reform and development committee and construction agencies should make information public on project progress and operation for public supervision.

3. Strengthen environmental law enforcement. Local environmental protection departments at all levels should be brave to enforce law and try to work as a vanguard to maintain people's environmental rights. First, we will take the Songhua River as the focus of this year's special environmental campaigns and enhance environmental improvement in protected areas of drinking water sources, industrial parks and key industries and crack down on environmental infringements of lead manufacturers and paper mills. Second, we will make steadfast efforts to rectify local policies violating environmental regulations according to the requirements set out in the circular on further clearing up wrongdoings and documents in violation of national environmental laws and regulations. Third, we will get tougher on polluters violating laws and regulations. Enterprises deliberately break the law, comply in public but undermine in private, repeatedly commit mistakes should be subject to suspension of operation and maximum penalty. Those suspected of committing crimes will be claimed against criminal responsibilities by judiciary department. Typical cases of environmental pollution will be handled under the supervision of central authority. If sewage treatment plants are found to discharge more pollutants than allowed, they will be subjected to fine, fees for overly discharge and suspension of payment of sewage treatment fees. Once they are handled for three times, their operation licenses will be revoked. 

In view of information found in the secret investigation last time, SEPA decided to supervise rectification of following 11 enterprises to strictly enforce law and discipline and ensure the security of water environment in the Songhua River basin. These enterprises include Sinochem Qihua Branch, Mudanjiang Jinbo Lake Beer Co., Ltd, Binxi Cattle Industry Co., Ltd, Harbin Mauri Ferment Co., Ltd, Lianjiangkou Paper Plant, Bright Dairy& Food Co., Ltd Tangyuan Branch, Jilin Huakang Yimin Xylose Co., Ltd, Jilin Jinqiu Pesticides Co., Ltd., Nanguan Furfural Factory of Nong'an County, Yushu Tianyu Alcohol Factory and Songyuan Ji'an Biochemical Co., Ltd. Provincial governments of Heilongjiang and Jilin must order the above enterprises to stop production for rectification or shut down business according to law. Production can only be resumed when checked and approved. Another 73 enterprises discharging pollution against law are rectified under the supervision of provincial EPBs.

4. Enhance supervision through public opinion. We will have widespread promotion and education on environmental protection, give full play to the role of media for public opinion guidance and supervision and raise public awareness for environmental protection. We will have environmental reporting system in place to release information on water quality and pollution control of the Songhua River basin regularly and on the progress of project operation set out in the Plan which will make the public have easy access to information sharing. We must listen to opinions from all quarters to safeguard people's environmental rights when considering environmental plans, policies and projects that directly concern people's interest. We will promote environmental culture and conservation culture, creating a good social atmosphere that every one cares for and protects the environment.

Colleagues, the Central Committee and the State Council highly value water pollution control of the Songhua River, which has also drawn much attention from the people. Everything about the Songhua River matters. Pollution control of the Songhua River contributes to contemporary times and brings benefits for the future centuries. Let's stay confident and be united under the guidance of the CPC Party Committee taking Secretary General Hu Jintao as core and make strenuous efforts to embrace the 17th National Congress of CPC.
