ABSTRACT

This article is an excerpt of a speech delivered by the Party General-Secretary and President of China, Jiang Zemin,

on March 15, 1998. The occasion was the National Forum on Family Planning and Environmental Protection. It is

stated that the link between family planning (FP) and environmental protection is related to sustainable social and

economic development and future survival. Basic FP and environmental policies are national policies that must be

carried out effectively and resolutely. New progress has been made in cleaning up pollution, especially in the

Huaihe River. Effort is needed to effectively curb population growth in poor, rural areas and to reduce environmental

pollution and ecological disruption. The Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party

has endorsed the goals of the FP program by 2000 and 2050. FP will be improved in poor areas, among the floating

population, and according to the Three Stresses. The population policy aims to improve the quality of life.

Emphasis should be placed on poverty stricken rural areas and those with ethnic minorities. Forceful measures to

protect the environment are needed. Short term economic development should not compromise the environment.

Environmental priorities should focus on the immediate problems that are a risk to public health. By the year 2000,

all provinces should meet the standards for controlling industrial pollutants. Environmental deterioration must stop

within the next 15 years. Restructuring of government and organizational reform should be conducive to FP and

environmental protection. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT2T 53-06)
