| | East China's Fujian Province plans to invest at least 70 billion yuan (8.43 billion US dollars) in making it |
| | an "ecological province". |
| | |
| | The plan is aiming for a sustainable development which achieves a balance in economic growth, |
| | environmental conservation and the use of natural resources within 20 years. |
| | |
| | Announced by Fujian Governor Xi Jinpin in Beijing on Sunday, the plan has been submitted to a national |
| | experts panel for discussion and professional advice. |
| | |
| | Xi said Fujian hoped to gain both economic and ecological benefits, adding that the province would |
| | consider ecological impacts when making economic decisions, and would encourage the development |
| | of environmentally-friendly farming and industry, and eco-tourism. |
| | |
| | Systems to ensure rational use of natural resources like forests, sea, land, water and minerals, would |
| | be established, and the living environment in urban and rural areas would be improved, Xi said. |
| | |
| | The total cost of projects under the plan is estimated at 71.6 billion yuan (8.63 billion dollars), including |
| | 37 billion yuan (4. 45 billion dollars) to be invested by the year 2005. |
| | |
| | Fujian, together with Jilin and Heilongjiang provinces in the north and Hainan in the south, pioneered |
| | China's provincial-level experiment to integrate the idea of sustainable development into its overall |
| | development plan, according to officials with the State Environmental Protection Administration (SEPA). |

| | (This book has special interest to me because it deals with issues that are being discussed in other |
| | classes I am taking. Money and Banking system in China is finding a way to form itself. Very |
| | interesting book if you are interested in the Banking system and how government affects it.) |
