Chinese President Hu Jintao Wednesday urged the Communist Party of China (CPC) and the Chinese government to take more proactive measures to properly address social conflicts to promote scientific development and social harmony.
Hu, also General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee, made the remarks during a group study of the Political Bureau members of the CPC Central Committee.
Hu said a large number of conflicts and contradictions will inevitably emerge in a society at the primary stages of socialism, due to the transformation of the economic system and the social structure, the realignment of interest distribution pattern and the profound change of people's ideas and concepts.
He called for the Party and the government to speed up social construction centered on improving people's lives while safeguarding people's interests and rights in accordance with law.
Hu also urged the government to improve social administration and public service and promote scientific and democratic decision-making so as to make sure that policies are made in accordance with reality and people's fundamental interests.
The Party and the government should give consideration to the interests of all groups of people while ensuring social justice, Hu said.
The president also asked for more efforts to improve the country's petition work and demanded Party and government officials to listen more to the voice and complaints of the public.
