Chinese Devise Plan for Development in Environmentally Sensitive Regions
To improve living standards of Chinese people in environmentally difficult areas is a major theme of the 11th Five-Year Development Plan for the National Economic and Social Development (2006-2010).The program's draft is expected to be approved by the ongoing Fourth Session of the Tenth National People's Congress.
