China sticks to independent development: white paper

CHINA relies on itself in pursuing development, and does not shift problems and difficulties onto other countries, says the white paper on China's development issued today by the Information Office of the State Council.

As a populous developing country, China must rely on itself in pursuing development, says the white paper.

China maintains independence, focuses on domestic development, acts in keeping with its national conditions, carries out reform and innovation for economic and social development through its own efforts, and it does not shift problems and difficulties onto other countries, it says.

China will never close its door to the outside world, and will open itself increasingly wider, says the white paper.

"Taking reform and opening-up as a basic policy, China both carries out domestic reform and opens itself to the outside world, both pursues independent development and takes part in economic globalization and both carries forward the fine traditions of the Chinese nation and draws on all the fine achievements of other civilizations," it says.

China never engages in aggression or expansion, and never seeks hegemony, says the white paper.

China is the only nuclear-weapon country that has publicly stated that it will not be the first to use nuclear weapons, or use or threaten to use nuclear weapons against non-nuclear-weapon states or nuclear-weapon-free zones, the white paper says.
