During the fourth session of the 11th China National People’s Congress (parliament) held in Beijing March 5-14, the 12th Five Year Guideline was approved. The relevance of this document is very high because it was prepared during the global economic crisis, which further revealed the necessity of changing the Chinese economic model. At the Congress, Prime Minister Wen Jiabao delivered a government work report in which he assessed the results of the implementation of the 11th Five Year Guideline (2006-2010), revealed the main goals of the next plan and presented arrangements for the government’s work in 2011.
