Malthus theory holds that population growth will lead to lower labour productivity, degradation of the ecological environment, the decrease of total social savings, and the decline in investment rates, which are detrimental to economic growth.

I am very delighted to join all of you at this annual meeting. Last year, with the rapid spread of the global financial crisis, the international environment deteriorated/worsened, and China’s economy also faced great difficulties.
