中国现代化建设是在人口基数大,人均资源少,经济发展和科学技术水平都比较落后的条件下进行的。70年代以来,随着中国人口的增长、经济的发展和人民消费水平的不断提高,使本来就已经短缺的资源和脆弱的环境面临着越来越大的压力。选择一条什么样的发展道路,历史地成为与当代中国人民及其子孙后代生存息息相关的重大问题。 China's modernization drive has been launched in the following conditions: The country has a large population base, its per-capita average of natural resources is low, and its economic development as well as scientific and technological level remain quite backward. Along with the growth of China's population, the development of the economy and the continuous improvement of the people's consumption level since the 1970s, the pressure on resources, which were already in rather short supply, and on the fragile environment has become greater and greater. Which road of development to choose has turned out, historically, to be an issue of paramount importance to the survival of the Chinese people as well as their posterity. |
