(2008年12月6日)问:请谈谈此次改革的背景?答:近年来,我国经济发展与资源环境的矛盾突出,节能减排工作任务艰巨。一方面,随着经济发展和人民生活水平提高,我国对石油需求不断增加,由于资源匮乏,我国从1993年由净出口国变为净进口国,对外依存度逐年提高,目前已达到50%。寻找石油资源的成本也越来越高。另 (December 6, 2008) Q: Please talk about the background of this reform? A: In recent years, the contradiction between economic development and resources and environment in our country has been highlighted. The task of saving energy and reducing emissions is arduous. On the one hand, as the economy develops and the living standards of the people improve, China’s oil demand is constantly increasing. Due to the scarcity of resources, China’s economy changed from a net exporter to a net importer in 1993, and its foreign dependence has been increasing year by year, reaching 50%. The cost of finding oil resources is also getting higher and higher. another
