People need quality growth

President Xi Jinping recently emphasized that the fundamental purpose of boosting economic growth is to ease people's concerns.

The leadership has always followed the people-first principle. China has solved many knotty problems in the course of its reform. Yet in most cases, the mounting pressure created by the problems necessitated the reforms.

China's rise is based on solving problems one after another to bring tangible benefits to the people. But solving the existent problems does not mean new ones will not arise.
