China to move away from energy-intensive growth

With China using 15 percent of the energy consumed in the world to produce 5.5 percent of the global GDP, it’s imperative the country move from a high energy-consuming economy to one that provides for more sustainable development, said Ma Kai, head of the National Development and Reform Commission on Sunday.

Ma says new ideas on economic restructuring are needed if energy consumption is to be reduced and sustainable development achieved.
