Reports: China Sets New GDP Plan

2005/10/31

China's communist leaders have drawn up a plan for the next five years that calls for doubling the country's gross domestic product per person to about US$1,700 in 2010, up from $854 in 2000, reports said on October 13.

The economic blueprint, released following a four-day annual meeting of the top leadership, calls for raising living standards while improving the efficiency of China's use of energy and other resources, said reports in State-run newspapers.

Energy use per unit of GDP must be reduced by 20 percent from 2005, reports said.
