Pilot projects have also been launched to elect township governments - the basic cell of China's local government. Fourthly, the Chinese government has attached great importance to the rule of the nation by law, and with the policy of reform and opening up to the outside world it has worked very hard to make many laws to meet the needs of development for a socialist market economy. Legislation to keep the pace of the establishment of the socialist market economy has now become one of the top priorities of China's National People's Congress at various levels. In drafting its laws, the NPC has drawn a lot of experience from Europe, the United States and other developed countries. However, in promoting China's democracy, the Chinese government and people have always been fully aware of China's national conditions.
China is a developing nation with a big population and relatively weak economic basis.
Its natural resources are not abundant in per capita terms. While we have to learn from advanced experiences of mankind to develop democracy, we should always keep our national conditions in mind. Any attempts to copy or clone foreign models are doomed to failure. Furthermore, foreign countries should make no attempt to impose their models on China because there are so many differences between China and the West in terms of history, culture, traditions and the level of economic development. To conclude, China's economy has indeed been growing very fast in recent years.
